I need some advice and I need it now RAGS DEAR RAGS: No 14 year old should be forced to wear clothes she hates If you can simplify some of the dresses by removing the frills and do dads it may be worth the try but unless you are pleased with a dress you should not be pressured into wearing it just because it is free ar better to have fewer in which you feel com fortable WASHINGTON A convicted smut peddler is polling the na psychiatrists in an effort to prove Barry Goldwater is to hold a finger on the nuclear He is Ralph Ginzburg a self styled crusader who publishes a New York journal called act Justice Department records dis close Ginzburg was convicted last June of sending obscene material through the mails He was convicted in ederal Dis trict Court at Philadelphia sen tenced to five years in prison and assessed fines totaling $42 000 He is out on $10000 bond pending appeal THE MATERIAL Liaison magazine Handbook of Selective Promis and Eros A Journal of Erotica was published by Ginz burg In an interview with this re porter Ginzburg said he was worried about Gold The Sena election he claimed would threaten America with TWELVE THOUSAND psy chiatrists have received loaded one page questionnaire Replies (anonymous or signed anonymous) are sought to the following queries: Does Goldwater seem prone DEAR ANN LANDERS: I was particularly interested in the letter from the woman who wrote to say she was unhappy because her invitations to play cards were on the decline She felt perhaps the reason might be that she was a consistent winner Having been a fairly good bridge player myself for over to aggressive behavior and de structiveness? Does he seem callous to the downtrodden and the needy? Can you offer any explana tion of public tem per tantrums and his occasional bursts of profanity? Do you think that his having had two nervous breakdowns has any bearing on his fitness to govern this country? GOLDWATER has not suf fered a single nervous break down but that is beside the point As the New York James Wechsler a leading lib eral observed: seems to me inconceivable that any responsible psychiatrist or phychologist would partici pate in this shoddy exercise with or without his name Surely it is an elementary prin ciple that psychiatric diagnosis requires private examination of a patient I doubt that the editor of act (or any other publica tion) would want to be judged on the basis of such long dis tance scrutiny It would be a vulgarity if this questionnaire received any serious In its letter to the psychiatrists act points out that results of the poll can have a major political impact Ginz burg will make known the re sults in an address at the Uni 1 versity of California at Los An geles on Sept 30 The Red Chi nese Government has started a war against the United States President Johnson as com mander in chief of the armed forces has ordered military ac tion in retaliation He has asked Congress to pass a resolution authorizing him to take necessary measures to repel any armed attack against the forces of the United States and to pre vent further The resolution also would authorize the President take all neces sary steps including the use of armed to help those na tions covered by the Southeast Asia Treaty which may request assistance to defend their free dom Since American naval vessels were attacked during the last few days in international wa ters by North Vietnamese ships supplied and directed by Red China the grievance is not only against the government of North Viet Nam but also against the Peiping Government United States Ambassador Adlai Ste venson in his speech on Wednes day to the Security Council of the United Nations said the at tacks on the ships were of a larger pattern with a larger THE UNITED STATES has acted to repel what it calls liberate Under Ar ticle 51 of the charter of the United Nations an individual government alone or in coop eration with other governments may employ measures of and these may be carried on the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain interna tional peace and The UN Charter also pro vides that any member nation which exercises its right of self defense must immediately re port such measures to the Se curity Council The United States Government now has complied with the provisions of the charter by formally sub mitting the matter to the council 1 THE TWO unprovoked atacks on American naval vessels were really acts of war The re WHY DID RED CHINA de cide to test American firmness at this time? Was it believed that because of the presidential political campaign in this coun try the incumbent administra tion would hesitate to take any steps amounting to war and that the rival political party itself would not dare to demand such drastic action? There could be no greater miscalculation of true Americanism Other govern ments in the past have made the same mistake only to dis cover that the United States overnight takes military action and gets the support of both po litical parties It is the UN which will be on trial now to prove whether it is an organization capable or incapable of settling a major dispute If the Security Council proves powerless because of a Soviet veto or obstruction from any other nation the United States is free to continue the war When the Communist ag gression in Korea started in 1950 the UN authorized an in ternational military force to be formed The United States mili tary chiefs were given command of all the troops and the respon sibility for the conduct of the war in behalf of the UN The New York City They also vis ited the fair Miss Margaret Crum Cheno weth 428 Salisbury St West Lafayette will be a guest of Miss Jean Bums of Mentone at a house party at the summer cottage on Lake Web ster Mrs Harry Rank 220 South St presented her piano pupils in a recital at her apart ment Red China is expected to explode a nuclear device by autumn or early 1965 They are a year behind their announced schedule De parture of the Russians and a cutoff of supplies from the So viet Union brought the Chinese nuclear project to a halt but it now has been resumed China has enough American and Euro pean trained scientists to do all the necessary work entry into the clear will of course pro duce many shock waves East Asia will be most affected It is possible that more Communist oriented countries will remove themselves from the Soviet orbit and associate with Peking Rus sia is well sibility MOSCOW easy about Soviet proposals concerning non proliferation of nuclear weap ons have been frequent and ur gent but no agreement has been made and realistically none can be ear everywhere grows as nu clear power increases rance is well along toward develop ment of a weapons system Egypt has small nuclear war heads in her missile arsenal Money to pay the bills is the only requirement TAKEN ROM MAGAZINE Mr George impres sive list of coincidences regard ing the Lincoln Kennedy assas sinations matches verbatim one in the Aug 10 issue of a na tional news magazine Let us give credit where same is due JULIA SMITH West Lafayette THE SOVIETS protest the United described as a force We propose arming NATO nations with nuclear Polaris type weapons These would be placed on speically' designed surface vessels the size of small merchant ships Their speed however would be much greater Their crews would be 25 YEARS AGO TODAY (In the Lafayette Journal and Courier) Dr rank Hall assistant medical adviser in the Purdue student health service will be medical officer aboard the USS Paducah during the third training course of the Great Lakes fleet Mr and Mrs Harold Tim mons attended an insurance con vention at the Hotel Waldorf in ADDS ITEM 13 Re: Letter captioned "Re markable Jour nal and Courier Wednesday Aug 5 signed George Potter May the writer call Mr Pot attention to the fact that he failed to include item 13 Is it possible that Mr Potter reads Chicago columnist Irv Kupcinet?
