Meek, who had driven him there, discovered his son still had his car keys. incompetents, which it apparently Sour Grapes? was but as the usual sinister Editor, The Record: A recent contributor to Voice work of pro-Commie elements in our Government. The Adminis approves of tne column Dut makes a caustic criticism of many of its contributors because their ideas are not in accord an suggested that "Operation Abolition" be shown in the High School and upper grades of the elementary school to prevent Le-onia's children from being contaminated by what she said was the infiltration of some Communist students at Leonia High School. She further declared that she had heard of 90 students at the High School who do not salute the flag. Both these people probably regard any person with whom they disagree as a Communist or fellow traveler.

They are not unlike certain Birch Society members, with his own. Just because this gentleman may have a paucity of ideas is no reason to wax hot under the collar. Mcthinks there is an, odor of sour grapes. who call Eisenhower a card-carrying Communist and demand the impeachment of Chief Justice Earl Warren. The idea that Praise For Teaneck Editor, The Record: In many communities the pound is hardly distinguishable from the town garbage dump.

Even those, most vitally interested in animal welfare seem almost to ignore the pounds and pretend they don't exist. The very idea of destroying innocent creatures is so repugnant to most people that they are reluctant to think about it. Partly as a result of this natural tendency, public pound facilities are. rarely superior to those of 50 years ago. Teaneck today stands as an exception to this rule in that the town government has seen fit to install, in an already exceptional pound, a high) altitude chamber which insures as humane a death as possible for unwanted and unclaimed animals.

The high caliber of the men who compose this town's government has allowed this new concept of animal euthanasia to be introduced. All humanitarians should join the New Jersey Branch of the Humane Society of the United States in commending Mayor Feldman, the Teaneck Council, and Town Manager Werner Schmid for their outstanding contribution in the area of animal control and welfare.

H. S. student, Correction Asked Editor, The Record: This is to ask you to correct a news story in your paper of May 11, 1961, concerning the unfortunate events in nearby Ho-Ho-Kus about the proposed Catholic boys' high school. In your paper is stated that I wrote Arthur Campbell, who read my letter to him, in which I said I had offered 29 acres to the Archdiocese for a school but it had been turned down. Either your newspaper article has distorted the facts or Mr.

Campbell has. I do not know him but have read his name in the papers in connection with his opposition to the proposed school in Ho-Ho-Kus. A copy of this is going to Mr. Campbell, to the Archdiocese, and to their attorney, Mr. Frederick Gassert of Newark, so that there can be no doubt as to where I stand on this and what the truth and the facts are.

I expect your paper to make the proper correction in your news story. It is incorrect that I own 29 acres, as stated. I own with two relatives 20.29 acres next to my address here. The acreage has never to this date been turned down by the Archdiocese. Away last November note this is after the Archdiocese had already 'bought their Ho-Ho-Kus acreage I offered to sell to the Archdiocese our land for any purpose they might choose to use it for.

More recently I also wrote Mr. Gassert of these facts. Dated April 30 I wrote to Mr. W. Arthur Campbell, an attorney, 112 Sheridan Avenue, Ho-Ho-Kus; that I had been following with much interest and disgust all the newspaper publicity concerning the proposed school and that any time Mr.

Campbell wants to try am positive that these charges are ridiculous. Wherever did this lady get her information? tration is looked on not as a patriotic and militantly anti-Communist group that has in this instance committed a boo-boo but as some sort of pinkish-leaning clique that actually rewards subversive and pro-Communist elements rather than punishes them. That this is fantastically off the beam is never recognized by the conspiracy theorists. This sort of puerility also never recognises, that the admitted world conspiracy does have at times a large mass base of people who consider themselves in no way conspirators but rather downtrodden ones who have found a cause and a regime that will bring better days to them. This was the case with the Chinese peasantry in the period of the rise to power of the Chinese Reds.

And it was the case recently when the Cuban masses refused to rise against a regime they still for the most part consider their benefactor, not their oppressor. No internal C. I. A. conspiracy but the facts of life in Cuba today foredoomed the invasion and revolt attempt, much as we might wish it to have been otherwise.

The conspiracy theorist will never abandon his pet intellectual hobby, because it gives him far too much of a sense of his own importance and his group's significance in history. It is therefore not at all surprising that he should from time to time proclaim that his small group will turn out to have been the savior of this nation and of the liberals themselves. WILLIAM E. MONAGHAN 548 Studio Road Ridgefield, May 12, 1961. Mr.

Ainsworth also seems to feel that Communist thinking has penetrated into my school because some students abhor the forceful attack on the Sane marchers. These students include those who both agree and disagree with Sane's policies. They believe that every one has the right to express opinion without fear of forceful repression. They Castro And Batista Editor, The Record: A recent letter comparing Dr. Castro, mind you, with Batista, former dictator of Cuba, was certainly a clever piece of propaganda.

What the writer did not tell you is a letter in itself. In the first place Batista, though a dictator and even a bloody one, was not a threat to the United States or any other American government In fact, he was on the best of terms with, our Government. Another fact overlooked is that Cuba was enjoying her greatest prosperity at the time of Batista's overthrow. Dr. Fidel Castro is pictured as a less bloody dictator than the other.

All the returns are not yet in, but even so I question the source of the 800 deaths credited to Castro. Of course, Batista's 20,000 cover a much longer period of time, but that is neatly left out of the recent discourse. If Castro is in power as long as Batista, heaven forbid, the bearded one will make the Cuban despot look like a piker that is, if he hasn't already. Whatever became of civil liberties? We hear so much about them in this day and age that I cannot understand why this matter was not even mentioned. Were there any under Batista? Are there any now under Dr.

Castro? I would like to mention that the U. S. is going to combat Castro's influence in Latin America by eliminating poverty and illiteracy, according to press releases. Beware, Latin America! If I understand the lingo of the comrades, that means you are next on the Communist hit parade. MICHAEL C.

DONNELLY 213 Woodland Road New Milford, May 13, 1961. From A Student Editor, The Record: According to Clifford Ainsworth Jr. Communist thinking has penetrated into Leonia High School. Because of a letter castigating the forceful attack on the Sane peace marchers, which was not written by an L. H.

S. student, Ainsworth contends that the citizens of Leonia are able to see how far Left-wing and Communist propaganda have affected our students. And at a meeting of the Regular Democrats of Leonia, a worn- to stop the Archdiocese (and I think Mr. Campbell will fail) from locating in Ho-Ho-Kus. bear in mind that we welcome schools, churches, etc.

here. I now repeat: any church, any school, is welcome here next to me. There is no unfortunate discrimination and sniping here. If the Archdiocese or any one, any church, any school, any college wants this excellent acreage it is offered at a bargain. This is the American way.

I hope this very plain and necessarily blunt letter will get the facts about our land clear once and for all. ALAN JOHNSTONE 400 West Saddle River Road Upper Saddle River, May 11, 1961. Invitations Extended Editor, The Record: At the Donald A. Quarles School auditorium- Monday, May 22, at 8 P. John Collins and another member of the New Jersey Department of Civil Service Commission Newark office will speak.

They wiil be prepared to answer questions at any point, as well as later for the benefit of those who would rather wait for a complete picture. It is not the purpose or intent of the speakers to sell the public on adopting Civil Service, nor to debate the subject but instead to inform and clarify many aspects of our State system. 1 Illustrations and comparisons within the speakers' experience or knowledge will be permitted. Residents of nearby towns are Invited. A special invitation is hereby extended to Police Lieutenant Arthur Herring and his committee of about 2 years ago; to Henry J.

Smith, New Jersey State delegate of the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association Local 86 in 1959; to Herbert M. Olney of the Englewood Taxpayers' Association and his executive committee of 1959; and last but not least the City fatherj who were not in favor of the C. S. referendum in 1959. If these individuals have the nerve to accept it will be my pleasure to make a sieve of the points they used in deceiving the voters of Englewood in 1959.
