TODAY'S BIRTHDAYS: Publisher DeWitt Wallace is 74. Actress Kim Hunter is 41. THOUGHT FOR TODAY: All men are created equal-and independent Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States. Today is Tuesday, Nov. 12, the 316th day of 1963.

There are 49 days left in the year. TODAY'S HIGHLIGHT IN HISTORY: On this date In 1921, Washington was the site of a conference on the limitation of armaments. It was the first parley of great powers ever held on U. S. soil.

ON THIS DATE In 1439, Plymouth was granted a charter, making it the first town in England to be incorporated by Act of Parliament. In 1780, the British were defeated by the American Colonials at Fishdam Ford, North Carolina. In 1838, the territory of Iowas first legislature was convened at Burlington. In 1932, President Herbert Hoover invited President-elect Frankin Roosevelt to confer with him on Britains request for suspension of war debt payments to the U. S.

In 1944, U. S. Third Fleet carrier planes destroyed a Japanese convoy attempting to carry reinforcements to Leyte Island in the Philippines during World War Two. TEN YEARS AGO Iranian security forces smashed a well-planned major effort by Communists and extreme Nationalists to challenge the Barry Goldwater Congratulations again! LANCASTER COUNTYS younger generation came through in fine style Monday in the Junior Steer Show at the Pennsylvania Livestock Exposition at Harrisburg. For the fifth time in seven years, cattle from Lancaster Countys farms took the grand and reserve championships.

In addition to taking the two top prizes of the day, Lancaster County exhibitors came through handsomely on down the line, sharing over $1,300 in prize money. It should be pointed out that not all the benefits go to the boy and girl exhibitors. There is a substantial benefit to Lancaster County too as these young cattle growers apply the lessons they have learned against the problems of adult life. Meanwhile, congratulations are in order and best wishes as the youths take their prize winners into competition today in the open classes. Few are vindictive IT IS A pleasure to note that few Americans seem vindictive about Mmc.

Ngo Dinh Nhu. Though she often twisted the truth about U.S.-Vietnam relationships, and insulted all Americans her savage remarks about our government, the general sentiment now appears to be that she deserves sympathy in this time of deep trouble. That speaks well of Americans charity and sense of fair play. For this arrogant woman, branded by her own father as one almost mad with the desire for power, tried our patience as few visitors to this country have presumed to do. The acid of her denunciations was not diluted by any sense of humility, or of gratitude for the enormous I U.S.

economic and military aid that had supported her brother-in-laws regime and sustained the fight against the Communist Viet Cong. Now she has suffered catastrophic losses. Her power base has crumbled beneath her. She no longer speaks, even unofficially, for the Diem government because that government no longer exists. She is a bitter, dramatically thwarted woman.

It does Americans honor that they show no inclination to heap scorn upon her now, but are content to leave her to her sorrow. Farmers hurt more than they have been aided by govt, orders Prayer for today Almighty God, Creator and Sustainer of the whole marvelous universe, we thank Thee for the wonder and glory of the world in which we have been put. We praise Thy name that the sun rose this morning. We thank Thee that we have air to breathe and firm ground on which to pray, that we may more frequently and more perfectly see Thee in the work of Thy hands. Do Thou brood over the face of the globe, turning the hearts of men toward Thee and toward life; in Jesus name.

Drew Pearson permit, the farmer a maximum of dependence on free markets as the best guide to produc-i tion and consumption. The truth is that politics and agriculture dont mix. Politics means government, and whenever government starts doing things for people in any walk of life, it automatically and unavoidably takes from them certain rights. At the present time, the government is attempting to con- trol the law of supply and de-' mand through the use of detrimental legislation. Agriculture suffers, and the resultant ex- '-pense is ruinous to both farm- ers and consumers.

r- This is contrary to the bent of our farmers, just as it is -contrary to the bent of all Americans. No one wants some- thing for nothing. To be paid for not producing, to have op- -portunity and incentive destroy- ed, is not giving the farmer the right of free choice. How do you stand, sir? 4 Senate in battle over aid to church colleges Potomac fever By FLETCHER KNEBEL Theres open proof that our own government had nothing to do with the military coup in Viet Nam. It was successful.

Democrats are secretly proud of Bobby Baker, the ousted Senator operator. Nobody knows yet how much money he made through influence, but you didn't catch him stuffing any of it into a vicuna coat. One thing about Barry Goldwater. He doesnt just stand on the issues. He jumps up and down on them.

The wheat deal with Russia is on again. It'll be' fun seeing Khrushchev squatting on the Berlin autobahn, counting each grain as it passes through. Pessimists who claim things are going down hill feel the trend started with automatic transmissions. Even the cars got shiftless. Secretary of State Rusk raps Congress for cuttihg foreign aid.

His job is tough enough, just trying to convince foreigners that they ought to take our money. Letter to the editor Credit for Dr. Fisher interminable wrangling, shattered Sen. Randolphs patience. Mr.

Chairman, he blurted, I would like to make a statement. He recalled that last year the House had approved specific grants for nonreligious courses, not blank checks to colleges. If categorical grants were good enough for the House a year ago, he demanded, why did the House oppose them now? He made it clear that he had opposed all aid to Catholic schools until Morses persuasive arguments had changed his view, but that it was still all right with him to drop the whole question. I have a lot of things to do," he sizzled. I am not interested in spending any more time here unless we can get somewhere.

HURRIED HUDDLE Stung and the Senate. This year, the by Randolphs rebuke, the House Senate conferees, instead of conferees held a hurried hud- WASHINGTON The Senate is in for a battle this week over $1.2 billion of direct federal aid to church and Catholic colleges Last year the Senate held out all summer in opposition to outright grants to church colleges. Though it was willing to vote loans to denominational colleges, it was not willing to vote outright gifts, on the ground that this was in violation of separation of church and state. All summer long the Senate and House fought over this with the Senate refusing to budge. But this year, the Senate switched provided the aid to colleges bill contained an amendment for a court test of the constitutionality of aid to church institutions.

The amendment, introduced by Sen. Sam Ervin, D-N. was adopted 45 to 33. There followed a closed-door argument between the House John Chamberlain Here and there President DeGaulle is reported miffed because a French band at an Armistice Day celebration didnt play the proper selections. Music can get one into a lot of difficulties.

At a South Carolina Republican party, national GOP Chairman Miller of New York was introduced and the band struck up the tune Sidewalks of New York. As every Democrat knows, that was former Gov. A1 Smiths campaign song. Rep. Miller allowed as how a South Carolina band might not know that in New York we have changed our song to Happy Days are Here Again.

(For those who need things spelled out yes, it was the campaign song of the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt but the first name of its title is also the nickname of Mrs. Nelson 6 One of those fellows who figures things out has come up with the calorie equivalent of exercise. Skiing takes 9.9 a minute; mowing the lawn, 7.7; tennis, 7.1; walking swiftly, 5.6; golf, 5.5; bowling, walking slowly, 3.6; driving a car, 2.8. He figures it takes a calorie a minute just to do nothing.

So if we fatties just keep under 1440 calories a day, we can keep in shape." A fellow down Maryland way suggests a new holiday, Hallowthanksmas. The idea came to him when he saw Halloween favors, turkey platters and Christmas gifts combined in the same display. It would be a streamlined, all-purpose holiday geared 7 to the jet age. It would last without pause from Labor Day to Twelfth Night. While it is on, children get doles of candy at stated intervals, cards would be sent without respite and everybody would buy everybody else presents.

There would be no other holidays or gift-giving during the rest of the year, which would be devoted to paying and saving up for Hallowthanksmas. Whose tensions being relieved? NO AREA of our economy has been treated with less respect or been more shockingly maligned and abused by political power enthusiasts than American agriculture. Consider for a moment the impact of politics upon the American farmer. The ridiculous imbalance of economic concepts has brought American agriculture to a potentially disastrous revamping of its institutional structure. Fundamentally, the farm problem which we are functioning under was developed during a period of economic stress.

Minor changes in this policy notwithstanding, government planners have managed to foist upon us an acceptance of the illusion that the federal government should either fix prices on certain commodities or exert a maximum influence upon them. During the economic upswing that followed World War II and Korea, the farmers proved a significant and disturbing exception to the rule of general prosperity. The reason for this was that we followed too closely the policies of earlier years. We did not allow for readjustments in the agricultural economy as a result of generally improved conditions. Consequently, despite the application of practically every conceivable government pro gram for agriculture, the farm' ers have been more hurt than helped by Washington-inspired directives.

Added to this bureaucratic confusion, and perhaps aided and abetted by it, is the rapidly-decreasing farm population. How such a confused and deteriorating situation could occur at a time when technological revolution offers so much hope and inspiration is a challenge to us all. There may be a host of answers to this problem. Not being. blessed with an intricate knowledge of farming, I dont pretend to offer any series or formulae which would satisfy the total agricultural needs of our country.

This much I can say. A man farms his land in order to provide crops to sell at the marketplace and to reap a maximum of profit for himself. He is, therefore, no different from the shopkeeper, the barber, the restaurant owner or any of the myriad of other types of people who derive their living from the provision of goods and services to the consuming public. The farmer and his small business counterpart in the urban areas depend for their livelihood upon the laws of supply and demand. Logically, the government's role in their affairs must be a minor one.

Subsidy crutches remove them from the competitive pattern of the economy and make of them nothing less than pawns of government. On the other hand, a minimum of restrictions on farm production and marketing will Editor, Intelligencer Journal: In reply to Opposed to integrated marriages I do not believe that Dr. Wallace Fish- er recommends mixed marriages but as a minister, he knows that God took soil from all corners of the world, North, South, East, and West hoping that some day red, yellow, black, and white can live in har- mony. I myself do not recommend' this, but neither do I condemn them. The Constitution of the United States gives us that priv-' ilege plus a few others, freedom of worship, freedom of speech, etc.

The United States has been a refuge for all who suffered religious or racial problems the Jews, Catholics, and groes. Each of us had'ances- tors who suffered at the hands of some Eichmann, Hitler, or Khrushchev. These people, as Dr. Fishei; says, must think as to how their children might suffer at the hands of the narrow-minded. But if two people are real--ly in love, they themselves will be able to make their children understand through that love.

Faith, love, charity, the great- -est of these is love. I give Dr. Wallace Fisher all the credit in the world for speaking on this subject so open- 1 ly in the face of such antagonistic, so-called religious peoples of whom I know quite a few. Velva Sutherland die and announced their willingness to negotiate. They beat down the Senates demand, however, that church-school aid be held up until the courts decided the constitutional question.

The Ervin Amendment was then knocked out. Sen. Hill continued to argue bitterly that any grants to Catholic colleges were unconstitutional. I have always opposed federal aid to religious schools, because I believe it to be unconstitutional, and I do not intend to change my position now, protested the Alabaman. I consider this compromise unconstitutional, whether or not there are categorical limits on federal aid.

Sen. Barry Goldwater, who wandered in and out of the closed-door meeting but seldom stayed long enough to participate in the discussion, nodded his agreement with Hill. Morse pointed out that Hill himself had supported federal funds for church-controlled med- holding out as they did last year, caved in to the House in 36 hours. They adopted the House proposal of outright gifts to Catholic colleges, not loans. They also agreed to drop the Ervin Amendment providing for a court test on separation of church and The compromise which Sen.

Lister Hill, calls a surrender was worked out in advance by Speaker John McCormack, whom his fellow Bostonian, President Kennedy, sometimes calls the Bishop of Boston. DONT WANT LOANS In the past five years, Congress has appropriated around in loans for church colleges, but the colleges havent shown much interest in loans. They have used only $3,400,000 of this amount. What they want is outright grants, as now agreed to by the House-Senate closed-door conference. The House conferees who battled for grants without a court test were led by Rep.

Adam Clayton Powell, the Harlem WE ARE publicly committed by our foreign policy to the re lief of tensions. But whose tensions are being relieved? Yours? Mine? Or Khrushchevs? The answer is that Khrushchev succeeds very well in relieving his own tensions and those of such of his countrymen who continue to think of capitalism as the big, bad wolf by skillfully playing on ours. What a man he is, and what an actor! He turns all his defeats into victories by a long-practiced legerdemain which we should see through, but don't. Only a few months ago he was in dire trouble: his farm program was a shambles, he was faced with worries about guarding his long inner Asian border the longest unfortified land border in the world against the possibility that Red China might violate it, he had left hostages in Castro's Cuba, and he needed a nuclear test ban for reasons best known to himself. In addition to this there were murmurs of trouble in the captive nations, where the peasants were engaging in a his, that ar involved.

Knowing, from the eagerness with which we welcomed the test ban, that there is a big and wholly sincere peace party in the U.S., and that no war over Berlin would be lightly risked, Khrushchev once again realizes that he can play with our tensions at no risk to his own. So he stops a couple of our convoys in the Berlin corridor, When he finally consents to call off his police dogs we boast in our headlines that we have stared him down. But that aint the way the Russians hear it in Khrushchevs own press. He tells his myrmidons that we have complied with his estab lished procedures. For the benefit of some visiting American businessmen, he hints that our violations of the corridor rules might have resulted in nuclear war.

So it is the business mens tensions that are tightened. His own countrymen, reading in Izvestia that the West has backed down once again in Berlin risk no ulcers. This Khrushchev playmanship goes on and on and on. A Soviet Ilyushin-18 transport lands in Tanganyika in Africa to pick up some Negroes from the Union of South Africa. Why? Well, it seems that they are to be trained in guerilla warfare in the Soviet Union.

Meanwhile Khrushchev applies the Monroe Doctrine in reverse, telling us that he wont permit us to interfere with the unfolding of socialism under Castro. Whose tensions are relieved by this? What a man, and what an actorl We don't seem to realize that his training in the arts of dissembling took place under life and death circumstances. After all, Khrushchev rose to a high position under Stalin. He feared and hated Stalin, yet he hid his real feelings in order to make his own way in the world.

Kannel of the National Heart Institute. Todays Talk Set survey at days end (From the collections of the late George Matthew Adams) ALL DAYS are precious, because each one gives to us that much less time in which to live and to serve. Yet there is immense satifaction at the end of any day, if we i can feel that we have contributed something, be it ever so little, to the happiness of others. Thus may the last hour of each of eur i. days be one either of rejoicing, or of careful appraisal.

No other hour of the day i hould be so dedicated to renewed resolves and to peaceful meditation. No one should ever go to his or her rest at night unhappy. No peaceful and healthful rest can possibly result. For years I formed the habit of reading something cheerful and stimulating during the last hour before retiring for the night. I learned that it soothed the mind, rested the body, and furnished the unconscious mind with nourishment while the conscious mind, or the one of the day, was at rest.

The unconscious mind never rests! Having a selected few of the books one most loves, near to one's bed, is like reaching for the haid of a friend to guide one through the darkness of night itself. Where there are peace and assurance there can be no fear. It is fear that causes most of the restlessness and sleeplessness. With the mind saturated with a love of beauty, and centered upon the spiritual forces that give to us all courage and leadership, we can happily welcome the last hour of the day as our richest and best. Whoever initiated the habit of saying Good Night must have been inspired with a love for all human beings.

Why should not every person in the world have a good night? We each can if we free our mind of all rancor, all unkind- ness, all envy, all resentment, and all antagonism toward others and the world.

Aid to Catholic colleges, on the contrary, he said, were for propagation of the faith. Here I am certainly in the minority, he added, hinting that he didn't think he would be in the minority on the Senate floor.

In the end. Hill and Goldwater refused to sign the conference report. Hill also cast the proxy of the absent Sen. Ralph Sam Gibbons, Fla. On the Senate side, Jennings Randolph, D-VV.

at one time threatened angrily to walk out of the closed-door conference unless the House aban doned its open purse policy toward Catholic colleges. He did so even when the House wanted to vote outright grants to church colleges, regardless of whether the money went for teaching religious subjects. Sen. Wayne Morse, joined Randolph in arguing that if outright grants So we proceeded to relieve Khrushchevs tensions on all these items. The test ban was accepted.

Canada sold Moscow its surplus wheat. We sold corn to Hungary. The grain sales meant that Russia wouldn't starve; they also meant that the eastern European satellites would be fed. With his worries about controlling the satellites thus relieved, Khrushchev could now face Mao Tse-tung without fear of a possible two-front struggle.
