Prior to World War I when he was struggling to obtain his premed 'education this doctor received scholarship of $175 Which though small it possible for him to continue Did he forget? No the generous gift tells us more than the sim ple fact that this physician prospered It tells us that he remembered and cultivated one of the most blessed gifts: a thankful spirit? Remember all the way Which the Lord thy God led thee Gov Grant Sawyer last week said he would make no state ment on the proposal before Congress to repeal Section 14(b) of the Taft Hartley Act which would eliminate right to work laws in 19 states including Ne vada i In refusing to express his opinion on right to work Saw yer maintains the people of Ne vada have expressed their op position to repeal three times at the polls and is no particular reason I should take a The stand on the matter naturally gave rise in some political areas to the con tention his primary motive is purely political Political At a Carson City press con ference' Sawyer apparently somewhat irritated by requests that he make a statement on 14(b) commented in what may have been an impolitic man ner the governor or lieutenant governor may say would be facetious and a mat ter of pure political His choice of words was quickly grabbed up by the GOP and interpreted as indicating the question of repeal of 14(b) was Of course it was not Many feel the governor will not take a stand on the issue because it would alienate at least half the voters This is based on the theory that about half of voters favor the right to work law and half would like it repealed commented a Sawyer supporter could the governor benefit by taking a The big question is will the attitude taken by the Democrat ic chief executive backfire? Some feel that Republicans will continue to lambaste Sawyer for not taking a stand and the result may be that he will alienate both supporters and non supporters of 14(b) The governor also maintains that the right to work law is being handled in Congress and he see any reason to take a stand However some point to the fact the chief ex ecutive hesitated to ex press his opinions YonjA VIet stability in the area of Nam reapportionm'ent water where the United States projects crime Increases and is involved in a major war other issues being considered against the' Communists in Viet by Congress and Britain is straining?

tendency to move toward the neutral sition always maintained by the United States apparently an effort to counter Peking's in fluence in Pakistan Meanwhile the United States although determined to main is finding itself attracted more strongly toward India on every other international issue Days Gone ByZ In the Journal fact that Nevada voters have Washington always has tried not at wa a tightrope of strict the polls on right to work since neutrality between India and 1956 The state has experienced a tremendous population growth in nine years and it is only speculation as to how the ma jority of voters feel on 'the is sue today Results In 1956 or example in 1956 (the last election on right to work) 91922 votes were cast on the ques tion Of the votes cast 49585 opposed repeal of the law and 42337 favored it a difference of 7248 In 1964 137378 voters cast ballots in the general election It is logical to assume that an other vote must be taken be fore it can be accurately deter mined how a majority of Ne vadans feel on the issue Some observers are noting Sawyer supported the National Democratic platform in: 1964 a platform which favored re peal of 14(b) His supporters can well ask however a delegate to the convention re pudiate the entire platform be cause he might be opposed to one diculous for Gov Sawyer to have repudi ated the entire Democratic platform simply because he might have been against one minor portion of it There probably has never been a knowledgeable politician who to Republican strategists who 4 npliPVA thpv ran PiPrt manv Ha favored everything Jns party did Even from a purely political standpoint it would seem more expedient to speak out Of the three choices open to him for re Iieal against repeal or say nothing the after will

Moderate Amounts crease in population this is still Nevada and its citizens favor freedom of choice But regardless of politics or lack of it in the refusal to take a stand on 714(b) the Republicans can hardly build the phrase into a major campaign1 issue Grant Sawyer if he chooses to run againwill be? elected again Word Choice by Sawyer Causes Political Stir Gov Grant Sawyer is rioted hot only inNevada but far beyond the boundaries of rhis home state for his ability to turn a neatphrase or to make an apropos off the cuff i But everybody errs once in a while The governor may have done so last 7 xj Wednesday at a press conference In re fusing tb commit himself for or against re i peal of 14(b) a looming battle in the USX Senate Sawyer said there was ho particular i reason he should take a position and added 1 vvnut uic guveinur or lieutenant goveriior may say would be facetious and a matter of pure political (See this page) It was in truth an ill turned phrase and sounded so little like the governor that one of two things may have brought forth the statement Either it was (a) suggested to him by an aide who thought it clever and used before he thought or (b) he had a 4 moment of pique and snapped it out in irritation The Republicans of course jumped all over it in glee They intimated that the governor was saying the question itself was Such a claim by the GOP is itself Sawyer obviously was only saying that he as gov emor would be speaking to cominent on the question when the voters of Nevada had three times approved the right to work law which would be' invalidated by Congressional repeal of 14(b)" 1 of Taft Hartley Of no consequence but further pinpoint ing the oddity of the phraseology was his use of the word In a purely semantic sense only this word was ft I not in keening with the idea he was at 'VLIi tempting to convey Semantically maybe but never The diction ary may say the latter word merely means humorous and therefore the governor might argue he meant that his comments on 14(b) would be But dictionary or 1 no taceuous means to most people not merely humorous but lightly humorous The word therefore is out of and Gov Sawyer is ordinarily very much aware of such nuances As to the more important aspect of the matter whether Jhis expressed opinion would or would riot be can surely be argued that it would mot 4 As the chief executive of a state which has a right to work law on its books Gov Sawyer should without even being asked have told the peripie how he feels If he feels the right to work law is an onerous burden on the working man and should be repealed (which we very much doubt) then out with it Or if he agrees with two mem bers of the Congressional delegation Rep Walter Baring and Sen Alan Bible that this is a matter for the decision of the vari ous states (which he probably does) then say so and go ori to the next question In some quarters it has been said that Sawyer subscribed to the Democratic Na 1 1 1
