Reader Opfttiot)S TODAY, Wednesday, September 1970 msm i World History Offers Lessons By It. J. JOHNSON New Smyrna Beach The editorial page is meant (or a public forum, and so it is best that it be used. A. Jt Olson wrote a reply to a letter or mine, and I find It necessary to both clarify my position and rebuke some of his.

It was unfortunate that I suggested that history repeats itself (date for date, event for event). Although there is some shock value in showing a comparison between a sacred period in our history and the presentt any with a revolutionaryrevolutionary epoch would have sufficed just as well. I meant only to point out that revolutions follow similar paths in their formations and progression though there are certainly differences In their outcomes. I argued not the morality of a revolution, but only tried to point out that contemporary events are escalating very closely towards what might very well become open, violent revolution. Here, there is certainly a resemblance between the 1770's and the 1970's.

Olson's assumption that all, or even a significantly large proportion, of the members of the youth rebellion are iinrespectable, Irresponsible, "freaky people" is simply incorrect. Neither nor any but a very few of the people connected with the New Left (which is merely a category, not a party), are such. The system has its Jerry Rubins also Joe McCarthy, Mayor Daley, and various Grand Dragons. These are extremes, of course. I Imagine 'that Mr.

Olson would detest many men that I respect, and vice versa Vice President Agnew Is not my idea of a heroic image. Revolution, serves a purpose. "What country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time that this people preserve the spirit resistance? Let them take arms." Thomas Jefferson, of course 1787. And if I can take an editorial in the. Science Monitor Antidote," Aug.

20, 1970) as a sign of the times, the present level oLrebellion might very well be enough to refocus American priorities to American needs. But I am interested in noting that the American Revolution continued to escalate even In the wake of British attempts at reforming upsetting problems. The contrasting progresses and retrogrades in present American policies compare very well with those of imperial Great Britain situations progress along similar lines regardless of the date and violent revolution seems a bit more than pure imagination. A few might take Rubin to heart, most will follow their consciences. That makes 'the situation worthy of comparison and equation with any great and yet grave point in history.

Tent Preacher Man of God By MRS. WILMA ALUKASIK Cocoa As I picked up my TODAY paper the other day, I read the headline "Gonna Cast the Devil Out of This Ginl." After I read the article, I felt I was compelled by God to sit down and write what 1 think is the truth. The reporter that wrote this article is either, not well informed, doesn't believe in God or the Bible, or just needed a news 'story and left out half the facts. It disturbs me to no end when someone writes a story and leaves out the most important parts. First of all, I have been out to the tent to hear Brother Stalvey preach a good many times lately.

I am neither a hard core holy roller or a' church member of any other church in this town. I have met many people out there from all walks of life and every religion from Catholics, Baptists, Lutherans and many that never P' ixies I I K(gp i had any religion of any kind before, including myself. Brother Stalvey is a true man of God, he believes the Holy Gospel from beginning to end which is more than I can say for most of the ministers and priests in most of the churches today, including this town. I have visited quite a few churches in this town hoping to find one that really lived and preached the way the Bible teaches, well, let me tell you people one thing, "I was bored." I could hardly sit through a half or one hour service. I got nothing of value from going to these so called churches and neither do most of our young people' today, that is why the present day churches are falling apart.

When Jesus walked the earth and preached to the multitudes, he didn't request a fine church to preach In. He spoke to the poor and needy, he healed the tick and cast out demons in God's name. Brother Stalvey has communicated with the. young people this town thalL.were really involved with dope, he has done more for them through 'God than any parents, police oLministersoLthijLto.wn haa ever done before. I have seen young people through God, quit clgarets or dope overnight and their minds restored.

Can any of you parents say this? Out at Brother Stalvey's t'ent, there Is no generation gap. Can you people who belong to other churches in town truthfully say this? I say if Brother Stalvey guided by God just so much as saved just one young person from dope in this town that we parents should get down on our hands and knees and thank God for sending him here. Any of you people that read this articleand question my sanity or think I'm a fanatic, come out to the tent and see the truth for yourselves.

Astronauts Isolation Cardinal Cushing Resigns CARDINAL CUSHING stepping down B0ST0N4AE) Richard Cardinal Cushing, the onetime blacksmith's helper who became the spiritual leader to the nation's second largest Roman Catholic archdiocese, is stepping down after several years of ill health: The Vatican announced Tuesday that the 75 year old cardinal's request for resignation had been accepted. Appointed to replace him was the Most Rev. Humberto S. Medeiros.

a furuiiT chancellor of the Fall River, diocese. He has been bishop since 1906 of the Brownsville, diocese, where he has been identified with the problems of the poor and migrant workers. A spokesman for the archdiocese said Bishop Mcdciros will be installed Oct. 7 at the Cathedral of the Holy Cros by the Most Rev. Luigi Raimondi, apostolic delegate to the United States and "representative of Pope Pawl VI for the occasion.

The bishop said no date has been set for him to go to Boston. Cardinal Cushing has long sought retirement, but when he applied earlier the first time was 10 years ago he was refused. He hdd wanted to step down to work with a missionary group, the Society of St James the Apostle, which he founded to work in Latin America. 9A iisV 'A 3Hsiiiim I siM, 191 BISHOP MEDEIROS gets new post Terrified" Hostages Awaiting Diplomacy Could Prove Hazardous TODAY Universal tclwic Sarvlci fin on Informal hasis NAS been trying for some time to con vince tne astronauts iu go uuo illation before their space flights. The reason was to avoid the kind of problem that arose on Apoljo 13 when one astronaut suddenly was canceled out because of exposure to measles.

Now a group of physicians comprising the National Academy of Sciences Space Science Board has advised that the highest priority be given to a one month preflight isolation of astronauts. This recommendation definitely is not popular with the astronauts, who want to protect their private lives as much as possible. However, they may be pushed into it in view of the Apollo 13 measles Incident. While the basic objective of isola tloa is td avoid Introducing new microbes Jnto an astronaut's body, isolation would allow any; Infectious agents that are already, present to spread throughout the. entire crew.

All the crew members would have the illness and would "get It over tospeak.jrhus, all disease causing microorganisms would be distributed uniformly among the three astronauts' and there would.be microbiological equilibrium. There can also be problems 'because of things that happen in MPwMff.MPAm. ISE space after launch. There is at least a possibility that avery innocuous organism aboard the spacecraft or in the bodies of the astronauts will take a new form will undergo a mutation in' space and Decome dangerous. Furtheremore, it is oossible that certain microorganisms will die out In the environment of space.

Then others, which are ordinarily kept down by competition, could assume a dominant position In the body. This could lead to unexpected disease. Yet a third problem is what could happen upon return, to Earth. There is a chance that "microbial shock" could occur. If the astronauts have 'Dent a long time away from Earth, they might have been living in an environment that had been cleared of microorganisms by the spacecraft's' environmental control system) Thus, almost any Infectious" agent contracted on their return to Earth might be quite dangerous.

TODAY AP WlrepWo Mafia Ties Denied Carlos Marcello listens to attorney Cecil Burglass as lie testifies Tuesday before a JLoulslana legislative committee in New Orleans investigating charges of Mafia influence in state government. The portly Metalrie, millionaire denied that he Is a mob boss, a gambler or anything else illegal.

By Tha Associated Prist Arcb commandos held 178 hostrges captive aboard two hijacked jetliners in the sweltering Jordanian desert for a second day Tuesday whil diplomats met in half a dozen capitals seeking to secure their release. Women and children among the hostages were described as terror stricken as their ordeal continued.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine PFLP which engineered Sunday's three hijackings and a fourth attempt, rejected the diplomatic efforts. The guerrillas threatened to blow up the planes, possibly with the passengers inside, if seven guerrillas held in Switzerland, Britain and West Germany, were not freed by 10 m. EDT Wendesday. In Washington, President Nixon met with Secretary'of State William P. Rogers, FBI director J.

Edgar Hoover and Richard Helms, head of the Central Intelligence Agency. Rogers summoned the ambassadors of 10 Arab countries to a 30 minute conference. The ambassadors told newsmen they had promised to try to persuade the commando to free the captives, but added that their governments have little influence over the guerrillas. The 178 hostages were being held aboard a Swissair DC8 and a Trans World Airlines Boeing 707 at a dusty military airstrip 25 miles northeast of Jordan. Earlier, the guerrillas had freed 122 passengers 86 from the Swissair flight and 36 from the TWA plane.

Most were women and children. The PFLP in one statement, said it would blow up the Swissair and TWA planes with the passengers aboard if its ultimatum for the release of jailed guerrillas was not met. But a PFLP spokesman at the field where the hostages were held said only that the planes would be blasted. He said the hostages would be removed first and probably taken to another guerrillas camp.

Viet Troops Suffer Key Setback; 34 Die SAIGON (AP) GovernmentGovernment troops suffered a sharp setback, in South Vietnam Tuesday, and a large scale offensive by Cambodian forces ground to a halt north of Phnom Penh. The blow against the South Vietnamese was the worst thev have suffered In a single action in three months. ional Guard, Reserves to Be Used WASHINGTON (AP) Future emergencies requiring a rapid buildup of. the armed forces will be met mobilizing the Reserves and Natconal Guard and not through higher draft 'calls as during the Vietnam war, the Pentagon announced Tuesday. The order by Secretary of Defense Melvin R.

Laird reversed the policy of the Johnson administration which left the bulk of the nation's million man Reserve force at home while large numbers of draftees were sent to fight in Vietnam. National Guard officials said they are delighted with the new policy. "All we've ever asked for is a chance to prove our worth," said Maj Gen. Winston P. Wilson, chief of the National Guard.

"This is the first time we've ever had a definite policy on the usage equippage and financial support of the Guard and Reserve," Wilson said. Actually, pre war plans in the early 1960s had envisioned calling up the Reserves during an emergency. But when former President Lyndon B. Johnson decided in 1965 to build up U.S. forces injiet nam, he resorted to higher draft calls.

Calling up the reserves, it was feared, might have led to further political and social problems at home. Johnson eventually called 38,000 reservists, but not until after the Tct offensive and seizure of the USS Pueblo by North Korea in 1968. Thirty four troops Were killed and 42 wounded when more than 200 Vietnamese commandos smashed their way into a district headquarters and a ranger camp south of Da Nang. A American adviser also was reported killed. The South Vietnamese setback came at a moment when the U.S.

Command announced still more moves to disengage its troops from the country. Three new cutbacks will pare American strength by nearly 3,000 more men. Coupled with reductions of the past two days, the announced strength is about 392,000," or only 8.000 above the mid October ceiling set by President Nixon. Computers Role Nuclear Trigger? TODAY Wothlnqton Port Nawi Sarvlca LAKE GENEVA, Wis. The world's political leaders are already losing control of their weapons to computers, an international group of weapon scientists, including both American and Russians, will report Wednesday.

an ai 11 Crew Die As Jet Crashes On Takeoff Their warning of an ap proaching day of Doctor Strangelove style war war in which programmed machines and not presidents or premiers pull the nuclear trigger will be presented to a International scientists' assembly here. The same group will hear predictions of several Strangelovian future weapons, including development "atomic bullets" highly miniaturized A bombs. The assembly is the annual Pug wa Conference on Science and World Affairs, which will bring together 100 scientists from 35 countries. The previously unpublicized weapon report is the summary of a pre Pugwash conference on New Technology and the Arms Race at Racine, in late June. There, according to summary, 26 experts on'arms technology including several from the Soviet Union felt that: There Is already "grow ing dependence of (arms) systems on complex and rapid computer controlled response and consequent erosion of.

the 'control of. political leaders over final decision." In the extreme, (this) could lead to systems which would" be triggered on warningwarning of attack, thereby placing the fate of the superpowers and the world entirely in' the hands of radars other 'sensors, and of he computers and technicians which control and interpret them."
