SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1963 THE HOLLAND, MICHIGAN, EVENING SENTINEL PAGE SEVEN Youth, 17, Recovers After Long Battle BUCKLEY (UPD--Four years ago, Greg Cooper lay unconscious with a brain injury at Munson Hospital in Traverse City. This spring, fully recovered, 17- year-old Greg will graduate fourth in his class at Buckey High School, planning a career as a teacher and certified public accountant. He was playing basketball on March 19, 1959, with his eighth grade teammates and driving for a rebound when he caught a teammate's elbow in the head. He was so paralyzed by the injury that he was unconscious for almost a month and was on the critical list at Munson. Roy Brigman, physical therapist at Munson, cared for Greg during his unconscious state.

He said Greg was given constant nursing care and his mucles exercised daily to maintain muscle activity. Gradually, Brigman said, Greg started on the road to recovery. The first sign of communication from the boy was movement of his eyelids. After he regained arm and leg movement to the point of standing, getting out of bed unassisted and walking between parallel bars. he.

was sent to Mary Freebed Hospital in Grand Rapids for further surgery. There he regained use of speech. He was able to resume studies at Buckley High as a sophomore ii. 1961 with his original class. At first he used a crutch and cane to get around, but novy he uses a crutch only in slippery winter weather.

Greg, has been accepted at Northwestern Michigan College at Traverse City for the fall term. He said he hoped to transfer to Michigan State University- for his junior and senior years.

Backs Troops In Europe MIAMI BEACH (UPD --The AFL-CIO said in a policy statement today that withdrawal of U. S. forces from Europe would "invite Soviet aggression against Berlin" and bring about the collapse of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). "It would jeopardize the defense and Mrs Leon Cooper and a 0 Western Europe and the secur sister, Linda, of rural Mesick. Harsh Words Aimed at JFK PALM BEACH, Fla.

(UPD--The weekend White House was on a quiet footing today despite harsh words aimed at President Kennedy on issues ranging from world peace to the New York newspaper strike. Acting Press Secretary Andrew Hatcher declined comment on statements Friday by: --Marshal Rodion Malinovsky, Soviet defense minister, who warned in Moscow that any U.S. attack on Cuba would start World War III. --Elmer Brown, International Typographical Union (ITU) chief, who accused Kennedy of being "unjust and unfair" in his news conference criticism of New York newspaper strike leader Bertram A. Powers.

While maintaining silence, the White House awaited a formal reply from Cuba to the U.S. protest about Soviet-made jet fighters from that island attacking all unarmed American shrimp boat Wednesday. Kennedy, who arrived here with his wife Thursday night for a long Washington's birthday weekend, went yachting in sunny but windy weather Friday and planned more of the same today if weather permitted. The President is scheduled to fly back to Washington Sunday Monday, he will speak on economic growth at an American Bankers Association symposium, and also will welcome the King i Finns Equalize Wages ity of the United States itself. It would enormously increase the danger of a world war," the union's executive council declared.

The council, taking the weekend off from its 10-day midwinter meetings here, said free world hopes for complete European integration suffered 'a grave setback" when France denied Great Britain admission to the European Common Market. The union said that from this, and from French President Charles de Gaulle's "concept of European integration," there has arisen "the danger that free Europe will be divided into two rival economic blocs, the political unity of the Atlantic alliance undermined, the military efficacy of NATO impaired, and American trade with the Common Market discriminated against." Such setbacks in the face of U.S. contributions and sacrifices in Europe, the AFL-CIO said, have brought resentment and proposals for curtailing contributions to NATO and withdrawing U.S. forces. But, the council said, "any weakening of the political, economic and military bonds which the Atlantic community together would a into Moscow's The council called for strengthening of NATO through further improvements in European de- iense, urging European allies to increase military contributions to the alliance, establishment of multilateral nuclear force, and reorganization of NATO leadership "so tnat west European nations will be equal partners in planning and executing Atlantic strategy."

By United Press International Bertram Anthony Powers is a tall, spare man with gray hair and a soft voice who calls himself a "Boston Yankee." If the Yankees pride themselves on determination and persistence, he has amply justified the designa- tion during New York city's longest and most costly newspaper i blackout. U.S. Culture i Shoved Back By Exhibition CHICAGO American culture took a great leap back- ward Friday when the first an- nual exhibition of non-American painting arid sculpture opened at the Chicago Press Club. The militant Fine Arts.Commit- tee to Preserve Fine Arts Committees sponsored the show in which Chicago newsmen and other sundry artists taxed all sensibility. Glyptothec'as and Boston baked oeans highlighted the exhibition, judged by art critics of three Chicago newspapers and the Art Institute.

The grand prize--a papier ma- che polar bear named Morris purchased from Goodwill Industries for awarded to free lance writer and photographer Art Shay for his dramatic work "Doo- mobile." Shay's entry was a sinister bomb suspended precariously over a model of Chicago's cylindrical apartment building Marina City. Fame notwithstanding, many critics observed privately that other entries possessed as much drama and acumen as Shay's winner. A special "unseen award" was presented to the staff of Chicago Scene magazine because their exhibit would not fit into the elevator which serves the roof garden press club. Henry Rago, editor of Poetry magazine, took the "most literary award" for his stunning contemporary work--an empty picture frame. Jack Mabley, a columnist for Chicago's American bragged that he workd two and a half years I to perfect his entry--a glyptotheca entitled "Song of Love--Delaware 7-3343." The monument to man's unbending spirit was constructed from a sink drain, a simulated umbilical cord, a 1949 press card issued to Horton Trautman, three feet of rope, three spikes, one screw and one ticket to the third game of the i960 World Series at Comiskey Park.

It won an award for the best press release accompanying an exhibit. Asked why he called his entry "Song of Love--Delaware 7-3343," Mabley said with tongue-in-cheek: "Why not ask Chopin why he called his tune Scheherezade?" His prize was a handsome gold cup for 2nd place in the javelin throw at a 1929 dual track meet. ADVISED Powers, president of New York Typographical Onion No. 6, tells reporters there that President Kennedy "has been ill advised with regard to me." This followed the President's remark that the New York newspaper blackout had passed the point of "public toleration," and indication that Powers' position with regard to negotiations was not understandable. Two Cars Collide Cars driven by William J.

Dunn, 25, of 1650 Waukazoo and Dale Eugene Baker, 34 of 336 Marquetle were involved in an accident Friday at 160th Ave. and Ottawa Beach Rd. Ottawa sheriff deputies said Dunn applied his brakes to stop at the intersection when hi." car slid on the slippery road and collided with Baker's car. No tickets were issued. There are about 100 less controls, instruments and displays in the cockpit of a Boeing jetliner than in the cockpit of late piston engine airliners.

"Bert" began as a printer at the age of 17. Now 40 years old, he is the president of International Typographical Union Local No. 6--the Big Six of the union he joined before he turned 20. Powers was born in Cambridge. Mass.

He learned his trade while I traveling through the East and at i one time or another he set type for the Boston Globe, the New a (Conn. Courier and the I now defunct PM in 1 New York. He has been leader of the Big Six since 1961. when he swept to office on his union's progressive i ticket against independent William J. Horan.

Powers did not graduate from high school. Bui he educated himself through almost constant reading of histories, biographies and books on the labor movement in the United States. Today his appearance is that of I a successful, conservative businessman. But he has been on the other side of the bargaining table since 1949 when he was elected to his local's executive committee. Two years later he was made committee chairman.

In 1953, he was elected vice president of the union and held that position for four successive terms of two years each. He a long before the blackout began in December that he was dissatisfied with collective bargaining procedures. Specifically, he found fault with a system under which newspaper publishers contracted with one union and then handed similar contracts to others in the trade. Some of his detractors have hinted that Powers is after a "blockbuster" settlement to pave the way for his ascendency to the ITU presidency. But to date Elmer Brown, present head of the ITU, appears to have backed Powers without reservation.

"Our union, the Big Six, is 112 years old and has a national reputations for acting in a responsible manner in any labor dispute in which it has been involved," Powers has been quoted as saying. Most outside observers would agree that the ITU is a scandal- free, democratic run union. Any disagreement seems to begin with Powers' conduct of the current dispute. "You don't very often hear a union politician brag about his union's 'national reputation for acting in a responsible manner' and then watch him preside at the interment ceremony for that reputation," commented a recent i i a in "Editor and Publisher." But Powers seems to have drawn a line in his stand against the Newspaper Publishers Association of New York which he refuses to cross. "One day the New York typographical union will have a contract," Powers has said.

"The day will come only when the publishers abandon their fixed position of unilateral bargaining." Bert Po'vers is married and the father of four children. Together with his wife, the former Patricia Colville, they live in Massapequa. N.Y. By Lylo C. Wilson United Press International WASHINGTON Some-! thing called the puritan ethic got! into the news the other day during House Ways Means Com- mittee Committee testimony on President Kennedy's plan to borrow a lot of money to help pay for his tax reform-reduction program.

The witness was Walter Heller, chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers. There already had been clamor of public protest against the scries of Treasury deficits built into the tax suggested to the committee that the public needed to be educated away from what he called the puritan ethic so it coul.l understand and appreciate the President's tax plans. It is late in the game for the so-called puritan ethic to show up in the hot center of U.S. political controversy. Not too late, perhaps, because the puritan ethic is a pretty good ethic, as ethics go.

B. definition. i an ethic relates to moral action. motive and character, to moral i conduct. With ethics, of course, you can take 'em or leave 'cm alone.

There seems to be in the United States a considerable body: of citizens who will take the puritan ethic position on the President's tax plans. And they will not merely leave his tax reform- reduction bill alone. They will be against it. This could be by reason of a public revolution against the immorality, the non-puritan ethics, of government debt management during the past three decades or so. The record is shocking.

If Hut record finally has shocked the voters who have so long been gulled by deficit sweet talk, there is cause for public rejoicing. The era of deficit spending by the U.S. Treasury began in i)3l. The program of planned deficits, however, came a few years later under the direction of Franklin Roosevelt. FDR's New Deal was sold a flashy bill of goods by a British economist named Keynes.

Keynes' idea was for a controlled national economy, the controls being the government's deficit spending spigots. This was an idea for a lush and uasy way of life in which the voters thought they got something for nothing from their government because 1 they were not taxed to pay for it. This way of life proved to be so easy that it has continued almost uninterrupted. Since 1930 through fiscal year 19G2. there have been 26 deficit years and only five surplus years.

Treasury deficits now are projected through fiscal years 1964, '65, '60 and with no assurance they will end then, or ever. That is the way to national disaster and the inflation of the U.S. currency to the point of no value at all. Treasury deficits accompanied by currency inflation already have reduced the dollar's purchasing power since 1940 from 100 cents to a fraction more than 45 cents. A couple with two children, for example, have been so hard hit by taxes and currency inflation since 1942 that they must have a much larger income today just to break even.

If they had adjusted gross income of $2,000 in 1942 they must have 53,930 this year for the same living standard. The puritan ethic holds deficits in part responsible for that situation, is an ethic, remember, or morality. HOLLAND LETTER SERVICE George Ted Schreur 422 Diekema Ave. Ph.
