Teddy Kennedy plunged Mary Jo Ko-pechne into a watery grave? I'm afraid not.

It is, after all, our country, too. TULLY And because it ia our country, we should be at least mildly disturbed that the Commonwealth of Massachu-aetts, whether or not under the influence of the Kennedy barony, did NOT give Teddy a (air shake. By its curious maneuverings, climaxed by that farcical, abruptly adjourned grand Jury "investigation" of the accident, the Commonwealth cruelly added Insult to the senator's own personal tragedy. There is evidence that the Kennedy family master-minded these maneuverings and no one has a right so to declare. At least, I'm not saying so.

But it is" properly permissible to suggest that the whole business has left all doubts unresolved and placed Kennedy naked before his enemies. The fact Kennedy himself seems satisfied to have been put on this spot does not make the farce any more palatable to the electorate. LAST SUMMER Kennedy pleaded guilty to a charge of leaving the scene of an accident, lie was handed a two-month suspended jail sentence, was placed on probation for a year, and lost his driver's license for a year. Although the penalty may have Been bit mild in a death case, it is not the intention here to quarrel with the judge's verdict. Besides, how to quarrel? Because Teddy pleaded guilty, he was rescued from the ordeal of cross examination.

The fact that he later told a television audience a story that differed materially, almost sensationally, from his initial statement to police is legally irrelevant. His audience lacked the power to pros ecute him. There followed a sequence of events which smacked of the To wit, as the legal briefs say: In October, the Massachusetts Supreme Court overturned a state practice of long standing when it ordered the inquest into Mary Jo's death held in secret. In December, a Pennsylvania judge denied District Attorney Edmund Dinis' petition for an autoosy on Mary 'Jo's body. This month, the Dukes County grand jury In Martha's Vineyard was denied access to the 764-page transcript of the inquest, at which 27 witnesses were heard.

Thus, for better or worse as concerns Kennedy's political career, the public's knowledge ofh what happened on and below that Chappaquiddick bridge on the night of July 18-19 has been almost entirely limited to Kennedy's televised version, carried by the national networks on July 25. The Issue left hanging unfair to both the public and to Senator Teddy is not he should be prosecuted further, but whether the peoDle to whom Kennedy is politically answerable should be left in the dark about Chappaquiddick. IN FAIRNESS, I should add: Not quite left in the dark. The public at this point has its choice of two stories, both told by Teddy Kennedy. In his statement to police, Kennedy said that after diving repeatedly in an effort to save Mary Jo, he walked more than a mile back to the tage where he and his friends had been partying.

There, he said, he collapsed in a car and later asked someone to drive him back to his hotel in Edgartown. On television, Teddy said he asked two of his friends, both lawyers, to return to the pond with him. There, he said, their efforts to locate Mary Jo's body were futile. The accident was not reported to police until the next morning. No, I don't believe we working stiffs should be ladies and gentlemen about Chappaquiddick.

I accept Donne's axiom that Mary Jo's death diminishes all of us. Until we know more about what happened, we are privileged to. sniff the air and find in it any odor we please. And it is Teddy's hard luck if his enemies decide that the whole affair smacks of that picturesque privilege of Raises PricingJJ S.

Having fully undertaken the defense of Japan, the American Secretary of State then declared that Korea was not vital to the security of the United States. The Communists jumped into what they thought was a power vacuum. The United Nations, instantly, declared they were aggressor, and. a nasty war was born as a result of the "useful idiocy" at Washington. THE EFFECT of Korea oa American security may be debatable in some quarters; but the Korean Peninsula is correctly regarded as a dagger at the heart of Japan.

very us ail." But by this sent down Ralph Nader THE DEMOCRATIC congressman who hid demanded of Republican leader Gerald Ford that he ba specific on the matter of why Justice William 0. Douglas should be im-p ached, makes a good point although it It much BUCKLEY his responsibility as Mr. Ford'fc to concern himself with whether Mr. Douglas has destroyed his usefulness, and Mr. Douglas's book is as easily available to Democrats as to Republicans.

And anyway, a precis of Mr. Douglas's book appears in the current issue of a pornographic monthly readily available. There, nestled among the pudenda, is an article by Justice Douglas entitled "Redress the Revolution," an excerpt from his book, "Points of Rebellion." Mr. Douglas begins by talking about the generally unsatisfactory state of in America today, including the recent elimination of his favorite trout stream. Then suddenly he finds himself talking about violence, which he concedes "has no constitutional sanctions." This he would appear to regret, because he adds immediately, "but where grievances pile high and most of the elected spokesmen represent the establishment, violence may be the only, effective response." MR.

DOUGLAS reaches abroad for illustrations. He recites tales of horror about life in Guatemala as related by two priests and a nun ex-nun and ex-priests being perhaps more accurate, since post Guatemala, thev eot married. Anyway, Mr. Douglas, who is supposed to be expert on the rules of evidence, passes along the extraordinary news that the Mary-knoll priests, "between 1966 and 1967, saw more than 2,800 intellectuals, students, labor leaders, and peasants assassinated by righwing groups because they were trying to combat the Ills of Guatemalan society." An altogether astounding story, as I say. First, that mere should have been 2,800 assassinations In tiny Guatemala over a one year period without anybody knowing about it, second that the assassinations should have been directed against those who sought to combat rather than promote evil; but most extraordinary of that Guatemalan authorities should have summoned two priests and one nun to wit- ness each and every one of said assassinations.

Mr. Douglas has at this point picked up a lot of steam, and he reports gleefully that the- priests advised Guatemalan peasants who approached them, that under the circumstances, it is okay by God to use violence. Under the circumstances. Mr. Douglas moves now to America.

Here, he concedes, we do not turn so readily to violence. However, we do run the risk of violence because the young generation doesn't like the way things are run in America, believing that the entire governing class is run by the special interests. Now, he explains, the' situation was very similar back in 1776. Then, Americans de-rnanded a restructuring of our institutions. "That restructuring was not forthcoming and there was revolution." And then, explicitly, the climax.

"You must realize that today's establishment is the new Kintr George III. Whether it will continue" note, that Mr. Douglas would have us believe that the establishment does now exercise the tyrannical practices of George III, "we do not know. If it does, the redress, honored in tradition, Is also revolution." NOW WHAT Mr. Douglas has said very simply is that such conditions as legitimized revolution in 1776, now exist in America in 1970.

He seem to be saying that George III the establish ment might well be given, for a little loneer, a chance to reverse itself. But that is one man's judgment. Those who for instance the Chi cago Seven believe tnat America has bleniven long enough to change its ways, and therefore advocatae instant revolution, disagree with Mr. Douglas only on a matter of timing. What they advocate violent revolution is in Mr.

Douglas's view, very simply, honored bv tradition. "If that is not sufficient cause for impeaching an official of the government who has sworn to defend the Constitution and the execution its laws, then nothing justifies impeachment. It is auite extraordinary that Congress should have got lathered up over the nicked and dime malversations of Justice while sleeping on this one. If Mr. Douglas is not impeached, he may have proven by other means than he intended, that indeed American society is Irretrievably corrupt.

to do, is build an ark and the old gods slumber, they still command allegiance unto death. Fifty years after Commodore Perry's cannon awakened medieval Japan, a modern Japanese fleet annihilated the Russian Navy at Tshu-shima Sttaits. Forty years after that, Kamikaze suicide pilots demonstrated again that Nippon and her gods are one in the hearts of the Japanese people. Twenty-five years after Hiroshima, as energetic in peace as in war, the Japanese have established a world commercial empire. TO ASSUME that thousands of years of Japanese customs and religion, of ierciest.

loyalties, of unquenchable pride for which death is a mere incident, has been supplanted by the foreign political system of an alien culture is to ascribe to American democracy miraculous powers which it has yet to exhibit in the Orient. As they have been for thousands of years, the Japanese 'are Japanese. When Nippon breaks out her battle flags, the souls of her ancient Samurai warriors rise to defend the Sacred Islands. Japan will defend herself, with or without us, but as our profile fades, the security of the Pacific depends upon the rearming of Japan.

There kd- CUNEO fore they seek friendship with Red China. To prevent the complete collapse which would be caused by an immediate U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam, the administration is attempting to have the Vietnamese take over the Vietnam War. The Vietnamese government, in a desperate effort to accept this responsibility, has sent in troops to assist the embattled Cambodians in the southwest. To pin down these South Vietnamese forces in Vietnam, Hanoi has opened attack along the demilitarized zone in the northeast.

BUT THIS is small change as against the emerging- overall power structure of Asia. China and Russia are in fierce rivalry, not only for Asiatic dominance, but for control of international comnjunisfliw In a showdown, the magnificent Russian Far Eastern armies are superior to the Red Chinese forces. The issue ia whether Russia will take over Red China by the familiar technique of the Russian armies supporting the strong pro-Russian, anti-Mao faction within Red China. There is only one power which can restore even a sembiance of massive anti-communist power in Asia and that country is Japan. The difficulties of Vietnamizing the Vietnam War indicates that the major' counterbalance required in Asia is the Japanifi-cation the rearming of Japan.

NIKOLAI LENIN predicted1 that some of the most effective services to world communism would be rendered by. "useful idiots," but Lenin in his wildest dreams could not have foreseen the incredible folly of. American Far Eastern policy since 1945. Washington insisted that Japan incorporate in her constitution a prohibition against war. In consideration of this, the U.S., for all practical purposes, undertook the defense of Japan.

Last year alone, the defense of Japan cost tne U.6. $4 billion; the Japanese $1 billion. Freed from heavy defense expenditures, Japan's economy soared. So did Japanese techniques. The quantity and the quality of Japanese goods is immeasurably superior to that of 30 years ago.

The conversation starts with the expert's admonition that "every penny costs $10 million." Finally the word is that the wage-cash-fringe-pension-welfare cost of living package will cost some $5,000 per man over the three-year contract. And the final estimate is about $3 billion more and this is for some 450,000 van drivers. And there are more huge trucking contracts to come. "You ask where will the money come from," sighed one weary negotiator, "well we don't know. We just argue and sign when it looks like everything will stop.

Then we pray and look around. It's that way everywhere in the land, in every industry. Looks like nothing can stop it." Then someone adds that when you finally "cost" out the full agreement at the end of the contract in 1973 the tab will run close to four, perhaps, five billion dollars. And then we come upon the auto industry and the United Auto Workers' massive convention. The delegates are militant.

About 40 per cent are young with less than five or six years seniority in tthe plants.

Then the word was that after the dozen the flying miracle must be produced in the U.S. Word is that McDonnell-Douglas has the contract.

During the hearing one globally renowned American specialist shrugged his famous shoulders and said, in effect, well let's build them in the U.S., but remember this will cost hundreds of millions of dollars more, for we pay our janitors and handy men more thanthe English pay a skilled "sub" (assistant) engineer. There's your story. Were the swift construction of the Harrier not a federal case, the American plant would have lost the order. The point is not that we overpay janitors or that thereforM)verpay our skilled technicians. Point Is that everybody working deserves a living wage and as a now forgotten labor leader, Philip Murray, once said a little more so there can be music in the home, carpets on the floor, pictures on the wall and more than bread on the table.

THIS MONEY spouting from the special fund pays each man 65 per cent of the average weekly manufacturing wage or the worker's average weekly wage for the previous year for a full year and perhaps for a year and a half.

This is just a warning. Like a sharp pain in the stomach. Yet in conference after conference these months, rank-and-file leaders of the United Steelworkers pound the table for heavy demands on the steel industry next year. Meanwhile there are reports of sharp job losses in factories making electronics, shoes, glass, pottery, textiles, shirts, men's suits and women's dresses everything including pianos.
