McDonald explained that the contract is for the construction of two 270-foot Coast Guard cutters that will carry top secret computerized electronic equipment.

The cutters are to be multimission ships that in peace time would protect our fishing rights and coastal waters against unlicensed foreign poachers and spy ships, he said. In time of war, these cutters would sail with the U.S. Navy and seek out and destroy enemy submarines. The Georgia Congressman, a member of the House Armed Services Committee and Seapower Subcommittee, stated that the contract is to be awarded by invitation to bid. A Finnish firm, suspiciously submitted the lowest bid 43 lower than the lowest American shipyard bid for the contract," said McDonald.

He stated that the bid was suspect because the Finnish shipbuilding company had bid on another less sensitive American contract last year. The Finnish company failed to get the contract, and in fact, was the highest bidder. There is a definite and un-disputable history of Soviet domination in Finland. And it is not unlikely to suspect that the Soviets are subsidizing this venture, he charged. I consider this an act of government stupidity and inexcusable negligence, the Congressman continued.

McDonald stressed that if these cutters were being built in a U.S. shipyard, stringent security measures would be enforced. There would be requirements that foreigners could not be present during certain stages of the construction and that no foreigners see the blueprints. If the blueprints and secret equipment go to Finland, they must be considered compromised by Russias KGB spies with irreversible consequences for our national security," concluded McDonald. A CORNER ON EDUCATION By Erma J.

Christensen To achieve world government It is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism, loyalty to family traditions, national patriotism and religious dogmas. Dr. Brock Chisholm, of World Health Organization, has commented: have swallowed all manner of poisonous certainties fed us by our parents, our Sunday and day school teachers, our politicians, our priests, our newspapers and others with vested interests in controlling reinterpretation and eventually eradication of the concept of right and wrong which has been the basis of child training, the substitution of intelligent and rational thinking for faith in the certainties of the old people, these are the belated charting the necessary CHANGES in human behavior. These views could be discarded as the aberrations of a collectivist mentality were it not for the fact that we are witnessing their IMPLEMENTATION today. Values clarification is being taught by those who use role playing and reality therapy (Wm.

Glasser. Values clarification definitely tends toward the eradication of the concept of right and wrong. Beginning with the enactment of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, the U.S. Office of Education and HEW have bribed school boards with federal grants to adopt and implement experimental and innovative programs for PLANNED CHANGE and BEHAVIOR (Some exphasis this writers, some the authors.) A major goal of this movement is to achieve a NEW SOCIAL ORDER. Students are being exposed to NONWESTERN thought and "VALUES in order to SENSITIZE them to their.

(2) CHANGE the childs image of himself or create a new identity. (3) REFREEZE the child into a new self, or identity where he constantly acknowledges and desires peer-group control. Values clarification programs stem from 'a federally funded and promoted drug abuse program.

It is recommended for use in all grades and subject matter. Values are clarified in areas such as family, love, sex, work, money, leisure, religion, ethics, politics, friendship, self-appraisal, violence, race, as well as drugs. Drug education has mushroomed into a values program which probes the psyches and manipulates the minds of a captive audience of submissive students in the entire gamut of values. Values clarification accomplishes also the following: (I) Violates the right of students and KIDDIE We triple -lock our doors, carry hatpins in our pocketbooks, and avoid using public transportation after the sun goes down if indeed we dare go out at all. Yet, Americans arc mugged, raped, robbed and murdered everyday.

Who are the culprits and why do they do it? For years the blame has been placed on society. Criminals, so the argument goes, act the way they do because they are disadvantaged socially, educationally and economically. Still, the more we spend to uplift the poor, the higher the crime rate rises. More than half the violent crimes committed today are perpetrated by kids. The 10 to 17 age group is responsible for a majority of the murders, rapes, assaults, burglaries and robberies that take place in America.

And one reason this is so is that the kids know they will not be punished severely. violent youth is the king of the streets, said Time Magazine in a recent cover story. When he is caught, the courts usually spew him out again. If he is under a certain age, 16 to 18 depending on the state, he is almost always taken to juvenile court, where he is treated as if he were still the child he is supposed to be.

A New fork teenager explained in WCBS radio interview how he started at the age of twelve to rob old women. I was young, and I knew I wasnt gonna get no big time. So, you know, whats to worry? If youre doin wrong, do it while youre young, because you wont do that much time. Another boy, 15, recalled why he shot a Wasnt nothin. I didnt think about it.

If I had to kill him, I just had to kill him. Thats the way I look at it, cause I was young. The most I could have got then was 18 months. Several things emerge clearly from this sickening scenario. First, a lot of kids are not being taught the difference between right and wrong; religion in their homes is nonexistent.

Secondly, they are treated too leniently when they are caught. They know they can get away with it and so they do it. Only a resurgence of old-fashioned morality and of the tight-knit family can cure the first dilemma. A cynic might say that it is too late for that. The only remedy for the second problem is a total, tough reorganization of the juvenile justice system.

Kids who kill should be punished accordingly. Society would be better off without them. -American Way Features dians in North America, with role playing by discussion and questions, What Do People etc.) Page 149. Quick Change Slow Change.
