A group of distinguished New Yorkers, Power of the ballot MANY AMERICANS, in the last 20 years or so, have had to undergo considerable readjustment in their standards of ethics and their concepts of equity. They have discovered not only that human "'rights transcend property rights, but that those same human rights are much more numerous than was once realized. Racial integration, freedom of speech, equality of justice and equal opportunity in the economic field are now more widely recognized than in the days when some of our older citizens were growing up. The process of extending such rights to minor- ities has aroused some of the less charitable to protest that we are letting the "minority tail wag the majority dog." There is, it seems to us, little prospect of such a disaster overtaking us.

We have seen it happen in the totalitarian states. Hitler and Stalin and certain others pursued a policy of establishing minorities in power. They were able to enslave and persecute the majority. But the reason they were able to do so was their success in overthrowing all semblance of democracy by abolishing free elections. The universal ballot, recently strengthened by the one-man, one-vote dictum of the Supreme Court, provides our best safeguard against tyranny by the few over the many.

In the light of that truth it is regrettable that so small a percentage of the total eligible vote determines the outcome of so many of our elections.

There is much to support this view. Some of the newly created and newly independent nations get a U.N.

vote without being viable on their own. One should be wary, however, of any sweeping move to thwart the formation of new countries or to bar them from the U.N. The Wilsonian principle that "every people has a right to choose the sovereignty under which they shall live" is still fundamentally valid. It may be that the United Nations ought to apply somewhat higher standards to recognition and admission of new states. But the danger of standards so rigid that they deny any substantial number the right of self-determination must be kept in mind.

The agency's official explanations have roughly the same credibility quotient as a 1928 Florida real estate advertisement. In its dealings with the press, particularly in the manned space flight program, NASA has managed to astonish and outrage even a hard-bitten breed accustomed to expecting the worst of everyone. The agency's obsession with keeping launching dates secret (in a program supposedly without secrets) has engendered in many newsmen an attitude of contempt for "security" that threatens to affect areas, such as the military space program, where secrecy may be a matter of legitimate concern.

Patience should be one of our choicest possessions.

There is an old saying that states all nl PSIk jj name "Genghis Karth." Just last week, Karth's subcommittee broke precedent and cut off funds for a project aimed at sending a space probe past Venus in 1967. The reason was clear; Karth and his colleagues simply did not believe what NASA officials told them about the hastily contrived project. In the course of about three weeks of hearings on a $750 million budget plan for space science and applications in Fiscal Year 1967, the Karth subcommittee heard so many inconsist alarming proportions. If the situation continues unaltered, the space administration may soon replace the State Department and the Central Intelligence Agency at the bottom of the capital's credibility list. Newsmen have long contended that the initials NASA stand for "Never A Straight Answer," and on at least one occasion, a high-ranking space official was publicly called to account by a reporter for consistent telling of inconsistent stories.

journalistic ill-will toward freedom and courage to the American soul. The faith that brought our freedom to America must be kept alive at all costs. This faith will be preserved only when American citizens practice it in everyday living and in duties in the home, the school, the church, the community and the nation. The Communist governments are based against the truth. They will not let their peoples be free to express themselves nor are they allowed the freedom to speak as they inwardly feel.

Millions of people who desire the freedom we enjoy are kept in mental and physical slavery. if, NASA. The decision was made initially by third-and-fourth-echelon officials, but apparently with approval from Washington. It was, as one reporter bluntly commented on TV that night, "a things come to him who waits, but someone has improved upon the statement by saying that all things come to him who hustles as he waits! Study the life of any great person and you will read the story of one who was never too much in a hurry, but who kept improving himself as he worked, dreamed and planned. Patience is a wonderful virtue.

People of power have learned to be patient and to abide their time. Impatience is destructive. It tears to the heart of a person. It roughs its way through this entire bodily structure, leaving bad news all the way. There is nothing so sensitive as the human body.

Patience gives it health and stimulative ideas and thoughts. Take time. Be patient, even with those who are not in sympathy with you. It is sad to see a person impatient with a child. By being patient with it an entire life may be influenced.

Patience has a multitude of meanings and inspiring qualities gentleness, consideration for the feelings of others, sympathy, and love. You have to love people to have patience with them. Like a mother does. Protected 19M, by Washington Star Syndicate, Inc. Edward D.
