Anarchy, we have insisted means the absence of order And absence of order, rather than being synonymous with the absence of political gctern went, is, in actuality, synony mous with absence of respec for property rights. ty," as used here, is intended ii its total, absolute sense: th Individual's life, mind, body and material possessions.) What we have said thus far takes on particular significance validity, when it is realized that political governments, lardless of time, place or coloration, come into existence and continue to exist by violating the property rights of the indi vlduala within the particular to commit violations of geographical area over which the political establishment claims jurisdiction. Increased comprehension is gained when it is further realized that now, at a time when the people of this country are burdened with more political government than ever before in history, violations of individual property rights, crimes of all descriptions (both legal and illegal) are also setting unprecedented records.

And, finally, still further understanding is made possible when it is realized that labor unions, the subject of this discussion, operate within a tax- free, preferential framework of laws and governmental protection enabling them, with impunity, to commit violations of property rights which, if committed by anyone operating outside that preferential and protective framework of law, would call for persecution and punishment including, in some in stances, the death penalty. A case in point is provided by the now three-weeks-old United Steel VM-kers Union (USW) strike against the Lone Star Steel a small company producing steel pipe for the oil and gas industry and bomb casings for the military, at Lone Star, Tex. Commenting on the strike and attending violence Oct. 30, the Wall Street Journal said: "James Griswold, a WWII fighter pilot who survived the practical thing, battle of Midway, prudently cided not to land his DCS in a new combat zone last week Griswold bypassed the field (be OX Qnestiofi: Does the election Nixofl, a "conservatlte," who supposedly supports a return to the principles of the tton, under the vote election protest, mean that John Adams wrong when he said, "there never was a democracy yet that did dot com mil Or does it mean a delay in committing suicide? Answer: We do not think It means that John Adams was wrong, because the Founding Fathers were astute students ol history and pretty well understood that democracy wasn't a longing to the Lone Star Co.) when a radio message from the to check the John Madison in "The alist" contended that under pure democracy, with one-man there is nothing inducements to airport controller" warnedI'that sacrifice the weaker party or an his plane might be shot down obnoxious individual. Hence, it (by striking union members) ii is thal such democracies have ever been spectacles of turbu lence and contention; have eve: been found incompatible with personal security or the right the landing attempt." The worry over possibl ground fire stemmed from i scene the Journal said, reminiscent of the turbulen 1930s.

Beatings, shootings and threats have landed some men In the closed the company's airport throughout this area and caused some nonstriklng employes to start living as well as working behind plant gates." Since Oct. 16, when the strike started, the Journal added "eight shooting incidents have been recorded, along with se vere beating and severa threatening telephone calls to families of non strikers Truckers who have crossed union picket lines to pick up stee pipe have been one of the major targets of voilence." One truck according to the Journal, "was hit by five bullets soon after crossing the picket line" while other drivers fearful of attack, are carrying "shotguns at their sides." To be quite fair, it must also be reported that the Texas Rangers have moved in, against individual striking union members, when violence at the Lone Star plant and environs seemed to be getting out of hand. However, the union itself, enjoy ing a preferential status and mantle of protection of the Federal Government, continues in ts predatory and violence generating practices almost unchallenged and unchecked except by the Lone Star Co and ndividual non striking workers. The company's "crime" and cause" of the strike? Refusal to give in the USW arbitrary which the union responds with wage and benefit demands; to anarchy under and within the aw. Private Recreation While many of those who cal themsevles conservationists spend much time and effor trying to get the national, state and local governments to spend more taxes to take more property off the tax rolls and to provide more paid-for-by-every body land for recreationists, i often is forgotten that there's great deal of privately funded outdoor recreation going on.

This came to mind when we read a full page advertisement in the Wall Street Journal by Crown Zellerbach, It was entitled "Feel free to hike through our newsprint." Featuring a man reclining at leisure in a peaceful forest scene, the ad had the following "Thousands do it every year, they also fish, camp, hunt, picnic, climb mountains or lust find peace and auiet. "It's all part of our 'Multiple 1 program. This lets the public have fun (for free) while the surrounding trees are grow. ing up to become newsprint, paper bass, napkins, towels. corrugated boxes and lumber." "We started this policy yean ago.

Today it's even more obvious that we need private forest lands to supplement our public recreation areas.

In fact, the conservationists define conservation as wise use of property; and have in gener al been as short in their lives asi they have been violent In their deaths." Elbridge Gerry, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, said, "Democracy is the worst of all political evils." The reason the United States government has lasted as long as it has is that for many years before we had the secret ballol in 1888, we had a republic, and republic means just what it says: pertaining to things of a public nature. This implies thai there are things that are not of a public nature which the government shouldn't have anything to do with, and during the early years of the Republic, that was the way it was. But in a democracy, the government meddles in everything and the Individual's' right to make decisions is gradually canceled out. Alexis de Toucqueville the renowned French philosopher wrote in 1832, "Democracy in the United States will last until those in power learn they can perpetuate themselves through When people find out they can vote to take from others to themselves they eventually impoverish the country and eat up the capital that would otherwise go into tools.

In reali- they are unwittingly depriV- ng themselves of the progress and the benfits that would come from improved tools and higher production. The man with lit- le foresight doesn't look ahead and see the results of retard- ng the accumulation of tools, le does not realize that more and better tools are necessary increase the earning power )f people and to furnish more obs and to reduce the price good to the consumer.

ALLEN WASHINGTON Evidence is accumulating here that Mao Tse-tung's ill-starred "cultural revolution" is now disrupting and delaying Communist China's nuclear weapons programs. New reports from the mainland detail political turbulence reaching inside Red China's de- tense agencies.

One report re ayed from Hong Kong indicates hat Premier Chou En-lai has leen assigned by Mao to end 'factionalism" in those agencies. For about a year after party chairman Mao launched his cuj- iuraf revolution in 1966 intelligence reports indicated that weapons programs were insulated from the Red Guard purge. Those reports were supported continuing technological advances evidenced by Red China's series of nuclear tests. More recently, however, there have been reports of political upheaval and delay in weapons programs. Some experts here are now saying that China's development of long-rang ballistic missiles has been set back by about a year.

wfiatof BRUCE BtOSSAT WASHINGTON (NBA)- Well-placed Democratic pro- esionals. ranging from tough eld regulars to some young re- fotmists, agree that the Kennedy forces emerge strongest from the bitter 1968 political wars and may have decisive advantage over competing party Clements in 1972.

The Pilgrims who first celebrated Thanksgiving some 245 years ago had lived through a very trying period. Colonists who settled in Massachusetts were weakened by physical hardships and a shortage of food.

As a result, half of them died of tuberculosis, pneumonia and typhoid. Those who pulled through considered themselves very fortunate to be alive. We, loo, are living in troubled times but we still have much to be thankful for. Although aging epidemics and starvation no longer plague us, they are still unwelcome facts of life for much of the world's population. As new ways to combat disease are discovered and applied, a rapid increase in the sheer number of the world's inhabitants makes the specter of starvation an ever present threat.

It may be argued that tht regulars themselves did not ex- actually cover themselves with glory. There are dark mutterings in the Humphrey camp at the alleged lack of effort by Gov. Richard J. Hughes and his entourage in New Jersey. The controversial Mayor Richard J.

Daley of Chicago was something less than a howling ces in Illinois, where Humphrey went down by 135,000, the Negro vote was down sharply, and an important governorship was lost to the Republicans, Moreover, a plausible case can be made that Humphrey surged to a near-tie with Nixon in spite of, rather than because of, the organizational efforts of entrenched Democratic leaders. To the extent there was any effective field work, it seems to have been performed mostly by fired-up labor groups which provided money, manpower and other vital facilities. Some anal- ists lay great stress upon tht skillful television barrage laid down by the Humphrey camp in the final weeks. What the argument comes to is saying that Humphrey nearly did it without effective political organization, that he came close because labor snuffed out tht brief romance between many blue-collar workers and George Wallace and good 1 reminded millions of wobbling voters of their old Democratic allegiance. So the old, much-maligned coalition of union workers, racial and national minorities, and mixture of lower-income and affluent suburbanites performed once more when the crunch wai at hand.
