INSIDE REPORT 14LANCASTRR, NIW IAAFMDAY, bit. 11, 1H4 i i n.Tp fpp. )i, i Ml I1 tf 0 IDEAS Goldwate rites Are Now Out for Burch's Scalp Businessmen in Politics By ROWLAND EVANS end ROBERT NOVAK NEW YORK Believe it or not, Sen. Goldwater's own partisans are now in hot pursuit of Dean Burch, the Republican National Chairman, not to save but to scalp him. The power of these conservatives, combined with the anti-Burch crusade of the progressive governors, has now made Burchs departure in January as certain as anything can be in politics.

Three weeks ago, at a secret meeting in Chicago, Don Ross, the National Committeeman from Nebraska, was one of several Goldwater devotees to argue passionately that Burch had become the symbol of deadly factionalism and disunity in the Republican party. The party, he said, had no choice but to appoint a political neutral (Ray Bliss, Ohio State Chairman, is the limited government. In the Congress that was elected this past November, men of this philosophy are rarities. Unless positive steps are taken for the next Congressional elections, more liberals of the welfare state persuasion will be sent to Washington. We agree with the Armstrong president in the belief that most Americans do not want a collective society.

But want it or not, that is the direction in which we are heading. The Republican party can well pay heed to the message. Warnock did not mention either party by name; he rather pointed to the national trend and told how a turnabout could be effected. But the Republicans would be wise to adopt a program such as he suggested come forward with positive proposals that put the emphasis on individual freedom and responsibility, and limited central government. Study and work hold the answers.

Study issues to see which are in the public interest, and which are not. Work for those that are good, and against those that ire bad. And attract voters by convincing them that your cause is right, and will benefit them. A positive approach to participation in politics was urged for businessmen by M. J.

War-nock, Armstrong Cork Co. president, in his talk at the flooring wholesalers convention this week. This was not a rehash of the now familiar advice that businessmen should take a greater interest in politics. This went a great distance beyond. The emphasis in Warpocks talk was on the positive.

Dont just be against something, he said. Be for something and work for it. It is important, he emphasized, that businessmen recognize real needs and seek some sound solutions to these needs: they must also be able to show that the solutions they suggest 3 are truly in the public interest. With labor organized for politics effectively through COPE, he called on businessmen to back an organization such as BIPAC (Business-Industry Po-- litical Action Committee). It needs both funds and manpower, he said.

This would serve as an instrument through which busi-; ness could take positive steps. Warnock called for election of a greater number of Con-: gressmen in 1966 who believe in industrial freedom and initia-: tive, personal responsibility and obvious choice) in place of Burch, the young man who was 3 plucked from Goldwaters office staff on Capitol Hill to run tha National Committee last July.

They found plenty. But that was only the start of the agitation against Burch by Goldwater men, to wit: 3 Wayne Hood, the La Crosse, industrialist, whom Gold-water appointed number three man in the National Committed, told the Senator last week that Burch had to go. Burch himself was present when this blunt word was delivered. Stephen Shadegg, Goldwaters western regional manager; during the campaign and with Burch a member of Arizona Mafia, is working against Burch. When Goldwater asked Sen.

Carl Curtis of Nebraska, a Goldwater intimate, to help stop the anti-Burch campaign of Nebraska National Committeeman Ross, Curtis politely refused. Effect on Party at Grass Roots What the election did to the Republicans in the more celebrated races for governorships, the Senate, Congress and state legislature is well known. Not so well known, except by the politicians, is that it dried up the party in its grass roots, where the political thrust and energy for victory at the top are generated. Another indication of the swelling sentiment against retention of Dean Burch is the subtle change in the line of such sophisticated politicians as Sen. Thruston B.

Morton of Kentucky, the chairman of the Senatorial Campaign Committee. At Denver, last week end, when the progressive governors went to the mat against Burch, Morton argued persuasively against any more blood-letting in his party. Burch, he said, should be kept on as national chairman. Now, however, Morton is saying that no Republican should be national chairman without a broad consensus of party Behind Calif. Campus Anarchy ROSCOE DRUMMOND No Need for Republicans To Roll Over, Play Dead support.

I Each day brings stronger indication that the uprising on 3 the Berkeley campus of the Uni-- versity of California was a cold-33 ly plotted exercise with fell purpose, in which many students and faculty members were used 3 as unsuspecting tools by skillful organizers. Dr. Eric A. Walker, presi-3 dent of Pennsylvania State Uni-; versity, states point blank that 3 what happened at California and other schools is part of an or-J ganized attempt by foreign money to disrupt the universities of America. It must be stamped out, he says, if this can be done 3 without trampling on innocent toes.

Dr. Walker did not spell out the source of this foreign money. But Dr. Clark Kerr, the Cali-; fornia president, said this fall that the campus group contained persons with Communist lean-; ings. This would not be the first time that the Reds have infil- trated American student bodies.

They did it in the 1930s and the 1940s. The leaders in the University of California revolt, which Gov. Edmund Brown termed anarchy, have withdrawn from that school, heading eastward to spread more of their particular brand of venom. The administration of the university has been left with weakened authority. The campus is still seething from the giant seeds of discord which the uprising produced.

It may take some time until the full school is back at its No. 1 function educating young persons in an orderly fashion. Faculty members have come in for considerable criticism at California, for failing to show the qualities which could have helped keep the revolt from disrupting the entire university. Instead of trying to assist the administration in maintaining the order which must prevail in an academic community, many faculty members were taken in by the organizers of the uprising, and helped it grow instead of helping to reduce it. Catchwords such as free speech and civil rights were falsely used at Berkeley by those who fomented the plot.

We hope that Dr. Walkers comments on what happened there will not fall on deaf ears. voters will listen to. FURTHER EVIDENCE There is further evidence. It comes from the recent Gallup Poll which shows that even the Johnson landslide did not greatly alter the two-party balance among voters, even if it did in Congress.

This poll had to do with whether the public wants the President to pursue a leftward, a rightward, or a middle-road policy, and the results were: POLICY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE JOHNSON FOLLOW? Keep to middle 44 Go more to left 23 Go more to right 19 No opinion 14 This Gallup survey showed that as many rank-and-file Republicans want the President to keep to the middle road as want him to move toward the right, while 12 per cent of the Republicans prefer to see Mr. Johnson move toward a more liberal position. The problem the Republicans face is how they can mobilize their weakened ranks in Congress in order to speak for this large middle-road national constituency. MUST DECIDE They are going to have to decide whether their dominant voice is to be that which lost the 1964 election or whether it is to be the voice of the political center. They are going to have to develop new party positions to respond intelligently and constructively to the Presidents legislative program.

A helter-skelter of Republican Congressional voices would serve no purpose at all. As never before, the Republi-' can minority will need competent professional staff to match to some extent the expert advocacy of the executive branch. If the Democratic majority wont authorize adequate minority staff, there couldnt be a better way to spend that million-dollar surplus of the Republican National Committees. WASHINGTON Despite the lopsided Democratic majorities, there is no reason the Republican party should roll over and play dead in the upcoming Congress. It has been generally overlooked that, while two party government has been greatly weakened in Congress, there remains a very evenly balanced two-party division among the voters.

This means that while the lican voice has been muted on Capitol Hill, it still speaks for a very large constituency in the nation. The party TUk imbalance in Congress is a little frightening, but the party balance in the electorate is most reassuring. The evidence in support of this fact is impressive: In the past five national elections from 1948 through 1964 there have been 306,315,000 Democratic and Republican votes cast for the presidential nominees. TOTAL MARGIN? In light of President Johnsons getting 15,600,000 more votes than Sen. Goldwater last month, what would be your guess as to the total Democratic margin over this period? The answer is that out of these 306,315,000 votes cast for the presidency during the past 16 years (including the Republican disaster of 1964), there have been just 1,677,000 more Democratic votes than Republican votes.

This shows that we have a balanced two-party electorate even if, at the moment, there is a one-party imbalance in Congress. It means that the Republicans in Congress have a large constituency to speak for if they can summon the kind of voice which these past Republican LETTERS Lancaster Twp. Should Join City Editor, New Era: Your editorial of Tuesday, December 8, commenting on the inadequacy of the police force which is planned for Lancaster Township, is very much to the point. It is hard to believe that either the township supervisors or the committee which made the study can expect the intelligent citizens of the township to be lulled into a feeling of security by such an absurdity. Do they think that we would be satisfied with a fire department which was not available from midnight to eight oclock in the morning and not at all on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays? It is nearly 4 miles from the eastern edge of the township to the western limits and to go from one side to the other it is necessary to go through the traffic of Lancaster city.

It is another 4 miles, as the crow flies, from the northern edge of the township to the southern limits and much more than that by the winding roads and streets which must followed. Can such an area be effectively policed by one man on duty at a time? In fact the announcement of such token police protection is perhaps worse than none at all since it advertises the fact to burglars, sneak thieves, hoodlums, juvenile delinquents and other criminals that the residents of the township are fair game for more than fifty per cent of the time. Who is going to be on the other end of our telephone calls when we need help? Perhaps the plan is to use the city or state police radio networks. If so, it will be another example of one of the richest townships in the county chiseling off its less well-to-do neighbors. It must be obvious that Uie $19,000 budget for the police force which is suggested by the committee will inevitably be doubled or tripled in a year or two when the true cost of adequate police protection is fairly and realistically considered.

The most practical, economical and efficient way for the people of Lancaster Township to secure the many services they need, including good police protection, is for the township to merge with the city. Whenever this is suggested the cry is always raised that such a merger would result in higher taxes for the township residents. It has always been difficult to get something for nothing. It is time that the good citizens of Lancaster Township recognize their obligations not only to themselves but also to the entire Lancaster community of which they are a part. Frederick S.

Over 140,000 Copies Sold It is now 15 years since first publication of the book, Mans Religions, written by Dr.

John B. Noss, emeritus professor of philosophy at Franklin and Marshall College. In the 15 years over 140,000 copies have been sold. Second edition came out in 1956, and the third with illustrations in 1962. Many colleges and theological schools use it as a text.

In high schools where study of religions is now being instituted as part of a study of cultures, it is being used by teachers and also serves as a reference volume. How did publication come about? A representative of the publishing firm of Macmillan was on the campus and heard that Dr. Noss had a manuscript which he took to class, and from which he lectured. The Macmillan man asked, would the manuscript make the basis of a book? Dr. Noss explained that he could not give up the manuscript, since it was his only copy.

But he furnished an outline which students used, and from that point on discussions went forward until the book became a fact in 1949. Yule Rose Query Miss Margaret Malone, 445 W. Chestnut asks this column to help her gain some information where the Christmas rose grows and where she could buy the plant. There was a place in Lancaster where it grew, she writes, but that' was long ago. If you can assist.

Miss Malone will be grateful. 5 Burks Joins 'Understanding' Arthur J. Burks, Paradise author, has been elected a member of the board of Understanding, which is dedicated to better understanding among people of the earth and people not of the earth. Burks has been given the assignment of coordinating units in states east of the Mississippi. Understanding, Inc.

was organized by Dr. Daniel W. Fry, of "The White Sands Incident about 1956. It is now an inter- national organization with headquarters at Merlin, Box 76. i While it deals with interplanetary understanding, it also works out direct communication between people who need of lack understanding, especially in other countries, Burks reports.

It issues a magazine, dealing mainly with reports on flying saucers. A radio station is planned at Merlin. Burks hopes to double the number of units of the organization in 1965. Mrs. Esther Stilgebouer, 3469 Spruce Riverside, 92501, handles detail on setting up the units.

BERRY'S WORLD 5 OTHER IDEAS Slaw Put an (American) English muffin in front of an Englishman who has never journeyed 3 overseas, and hell wonder what on earth it is. 1 The English (St home) dont have them. Simi-- larly, a Dane coming to the United States is 3 likely to be nonplused when offered what the 3 English would call a bun, but what Americans 3 call Danish pastry. Now comes a little more interesting culi-nary information. A correspondent of the French newspaper, Le Monde, has just spent diately consecutive holidays in Moscow and New York.

In both cities, he got coleslaw with some of his orders salade a la russe, chou cru a la mayonnaise. In Moscow, he tells us, it would be called American salad. In French, its salade a la russe. Both, we must admit, are onomatopoetically more titil-3; lating than plain, flat coleslaw. But perhaps, like English muffins and Danish pastry, quite misleading.
