Robert G. Spivack Where Are Future Leaders Coming From? mt ffibtnte Saturday Morning, October 20, 1962 Page 16 National Campaign Seems In Entertainment Phase WELL, IF YOU Khrushchevs Clever Game of Crisis On the other hand, the President may feel he is limited in how candid be LOOK RIGHT HCMI, VOU'LL PROBABLY FIND THEM CARRYING THEIR NEWSPAPER ROUTES. Nikita Khrushchev obviously hopes to confer with President Kennedy oi the Berlin problem. That is undoubtedly why Soviet Foreign' Minister Gromyko talked at length with Mr. Kennedy and Secretary of State Dean Rusk this week.

Gromyko, of course, declined to say anything publicly about a Khrushchev visit to the United States. Ife preferred to emphasize the useful- ness of his meetings with Messrs. Kennedy and But the fact that he is returning to Moscow on Sunday certainly must mean that he has some kind of message to transmit to his boss. Whether the Soviet Premier will have anything useful to offer Is another matter. He has issued so-called ultimatums on Berlin, threatening dire consequences unless the West Allies got out of the city.

But he has never followed through. After his strong 1958 statement, he explained that no ultimatum was intended, and since then he has seemed content to nibble away at the Allied position. This year there are fears at least in the United States that he intends to bring the issue to a head. The British, however, are doubtful. And President De Gaulle of France holds to the theory that the whole business should be ignored.

In De Gaulles view, there should be no talks at all. TALK FOR THE SAKE of talk is meaningless, though if President Kennedy and Premier Khrushchev should get together, it might be possible to learn what the latter has in mind. His long-range objective is well known to get the Western Allies out of Berlin and either unite on Germany on his terms or destroy the effectiveness of West Germany. He can hardly be expected to abandon that objective without abandoning his whole foreign policy. To talk of true negotiation at this time is to talk of the Impossible.

For there is nothing to negotiate unless the term means the' United States and its allies are prepared to yield piecemeal to the Soviets. A Kennedy-Khrushchev conference would, at the best, be a means of finding a way to live with an immensely dangerous problem. The two opponents have lived with the problem fox a decade and more. But each passing year has seen new crises and new threats. Meanwhile, the arms race has continued, with ever more terrible weapons being developed.

We are not being alarmists when we say civilization is in peril. Khrushchev is as well aware of this as anyone. But Khrushchev has repeatedly shown that he regards peril as one of his most potent psychological weapons. WHEN nE FOMENTS a crisis, then Indicates his willingness to talk, he is simply trying to wear down and pick up an advantage here or there. That is what must be avoided at- any Kennedy-Khrushchev conference.

Khrushchev has been allowed to play his crisis game" far too long. The Public Forum WASIHN GTON Give me more Democrats in Congress, President Kennedy says, and well get the country moving again. How many Democrats does he need, former President i -hower counters? He already has a 3 to 2 majority in the House Mr. Spivack and 2 to 1 in the Senate. The President, says the former President, really wants a one-party system and a Congress that can be controlled by the, callow youth" running the administration.

The Republican, retorts JFK, is the party which only says no." Democrats are dedicated men who want to make progress but are stymied by Republicans who just want to stand still. Thus issues" of the mid-term campaign of 1962 are reduced to their simplest partisan terms so simple, in fact, that voters may be pardoned if they seem unimpressed. Before November it is possible that there will be a real debate. Right now the campaign is in what' might be called its entertainment phase. The campaign could, of course, become lively because it has all the elements of human drama and conflict.

Here is the old general, emerging from semi-retirement, to engage the young former naval lieutenant in a fierce political duel. But neither he nor JFK can be accused of talking above peo-. pies heads, or being too precise, in their political pronouncements up to this point. VI HAT AREN'T they telling the voters? First of all there are three coalitions in Congress: best known is the conservative coalition of right-wing Republicans and Southern Democrats. Then there is a second coalition of the bossed Democrats from the big cities and the bourbons from the South.

The old guard Southerners work effectively with both groups in what liberal Democrats might consider a combine against the common interest. Since the Republicans are the outs, they are in the advantageous position of being able to taunt the admin-. inflation about the spread of communism in Cuba, the unfulfilled promises of federal aid to, the public schools, or the lagging economy, without being called upon to spell out just what they would do. A Humane Obligation There is a natural and understandable revulsion to the plan to ransom 1,113 Cuban invasion prisoners with in American food and medicine. For one thing, nobody knows whether the capricious Castro will really free' the victims of the ill-fated 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion attempt.

The tractors for prisoners plan, proposed last year by Castro, broke down after the Cuban dictator decided he wanted hard cash instead. UNPALATABLE as the problem is, this country has an obligation to the prisoners. The Central Intelligence Agency planned out the military adventure and the President consented tQ it. The 1,113 Cubans would not be in Castro's prisons were it not for the United States. What are the alternatives? The most likely one would be to let the prisoners continue to rot in jail.

Even though some hotheads propose a full-scale military attack on Cuba, this seems most inadvisable and unlikely without outright Cuban provocation. If such an attack took place the prisoners most likely would be quickly executed. So the only way to gain their freedom seems to be to pay for their release. Doubtless this would involve using some government funds. Since the government for understandable reasons does not want the ransom to appear official, the likely source of secret funds is the CIA, which after all was responsible for the ill-fated invasion.

CUBA $62,000,000 worth of food and medicine would be inconsistent with the U.S. embargo on Cuban trade, an embargo now being tightened. The ransom would bolster Castros faltering economy only temporarily, however, and the Cuban people, with whom we are not at war, might be the beneficiaries from the deal. Latin America and much of the rest of the world doubtless would react favorably to the proposed trade as American assumption of our humane and moral responsibilities. If Castro should go through with the exchange, American citizens should try to understand the reasons behind it, galling as the whole Incident is.

As an example, he does not tell the voters that it was 21 Democrats, not all from the South, who killed medicare. Nor does he tell them that it was the big city Democrats, from Chicago, Boston, and New York, who killed aid for public education. However, there is one area where the President could be more candid. He might even find that the public would appreciate his candor. Mr.

Kennedy could ac- knowledge that what meager accomplishments have been made by this Congress were the result of cooperation from liberal Republicans. This is true of the trade bill, the manpower retraining bill; and the modest clipping of the power of the House Rules Committee. THERE ARE 90 Democrats in the House of Representatives who form what is known as the Democratic Study Group men like Thompson of New Jersey, Blatnik of Minnesota, and Reuss of Wisconsin. There are also seven Democratic senatorial aspirants this year who fit in this same category. Of lithe group the bulk does not come from the big cities.

They are Democrats from the North and West, elected in districts that were traditionally Re- publican before the New Deal. With the exception of Sidney Yates, of Chicago, opposing Everett McKinley Dirksen for the Senate, the liberal Democratic senatorial aspirants also are not from the big cities of the South. ONE OF THE most distinguished is Sen. John Car-roll of Colorado, a practical man who works hard to bring business to his state. Others are Rep.

David King, a candidate for senator in Utah, and George McGovern, former head of the Food for Peace program who is running in South Dakota. They are quiet men, trying to remake the Democratic party into the political instrument that some now claim it is. If they are successful, the results could outlast the Kennedy Administration. In the case of Carroll and the others, it is worth noting that they avoid excessive partisanship. They do not say that all Democrats are good guys and all Republicans are bad guys.

That, among other things, differentiates them from the hacks. as far hack as Southern and Mantell, I consider the greatest play ever written. In a cast without serious weaknesses, the Hamlet was very fine, and I do not recall ever seeing a more satisfactory Polonius or Ophelia. The scenic effects too were splendid, though of course scenery is of secondary importance in a Shakespearean production. There are two disadvantages to the new Memorial Theatre: the first is its inadequate capacity for the larger productions we have every right to expect; the second, considering that Salt Lake has the most wretched public transportation service of any city in the civilized world, is its remoteness.

It is almost inaccessible to any except those having permanent private conveyence. However, it may be that these disadvantages somewhat offset each other. J. O. CHRISTENSEN, Moroni, Utah.

Omitted Section Editor, Tribune: Ive en joyed reading Grace Robinsons two articles on the 14th Amendment which appeared in The Tribune Oct. 11 and 12. Even though the author concludes fier second article by justifying the Machiavellian tactics used to secure the amendments passage, on the grounds that the ends were desirable, I feel that the articles serve a useful purpose in that they discuss in some detail the conditions prevailing in Washington and in the South at the time of the amendments adoption. Im quite disturbed, though, over the small quotation which appears in a block injthe center' of each article under the heading The 14th Amendment. This quotation is in reality only Section 1 of the amendment, although those three innocuous dots which follow the quotation indicate that nothing significant follows.

It may be true that the second, third, and fourth sections of the amendment are not relevant to todays controversy, as Section 2 is a measure" designed to ensure that the freed slaves will get the vote, Section 3' is a vin-dictive step directed against Potomac Fever By Fletcher Knebel Your Carrier Boy A great many skills and a great deal of effort go into production of The Salt Lake Tribune. News and pictures pour in from all parts of the globe. Reporters and photographers cover the national and local scenes. The editors and headline writers do their job, printers set the type, engravers make the cuts, stereotypers prepare the plates and, finally, the presses roll. But one key figure is lacking on this list, and without him The Tribune would not appear on the doorstep of its subscribers every morning the year around.

I heard a bird at break of day Sing from the autumn trees Bureaucratic Arrogance Editor, Tribune: Utahs TV audience- was treated Monday evening to the spectacle of a member of the Presidents cabinet displaying a petulant if not threatening attitude and complaining that his patience was growing thin with the people of Utah over one of his pet projects involving some important resources within the boundaries of this' stale. As a result of this inept action and the apparent desire of the administration and those members of Congress from Utah and elsewhere obedient to it, ihe proposal to create Canyon-lands National Park, as federally specified in Utah, has become a political football, and those who have questioned the size of the pro- posed park and its possible encroachment upon the productive resources of this state have been politically characterized as obstructionists in the present campaign.

In the meantime the proponents have cried to high heaven when the showing of a propaganda film federally produced largely at the taxpayers expense was appropriately refused the facilities of the University of Utah for such a political maneuver in the midst of a campaign. What better evidence of bureaucratic arrogance could the people of Utah have than to witness a member of the with his political cohorts in Utah, attempting to brainwash us with our own money and use a rigid National Parkgroposal as a bait for votes which would further tighten the harness rtrlrtWfti 4 m. 1 wt iLUltttl runtTOi Httu flu vance the rate of federal encroachment upon the orderly and balanced development of the productive and recreational resources of a sover- eign state?

FREDERICK P. CHAMP, Logan, Utah.

Ignored Our Needs Editor, Tribune: It seems strange to me how Senator Bennett can come back to Utah with the assumption that the people of Utah will support him in another election after he has almost completely ignored our needs. The Aid to Education bill (S-1021), which passed in the Senate (49-34), brought a negative vote from Sen. Bennett. A nationwide shortage of more than 140,000 classrooms and more than 135,900 teachers cheats some 10 million grammar and high school pupils of a first-class education This bill provided 2 Mi billion dollars for a three-year program to help build new schools, boost teachers salaries tQ bring qualified new people into the profession.

You go along with the cry of railroad management which is: Ill make this outfit pay if I have to cut off every man that works here! In 1949, almost 1,300,000 persons were employed in the railroad industry. The last figures for this summer showed 711,000 employed. We salute these fine young men as part of the observance of National Newspaper Week. We are proud of them. They are learning the lessons of free enterprise lessons which will be invaluable in the years to come.

Many of todays leaders were once carrier boys. And many of todays carrier boys are on the way to becoming the leaders of tomorrow. those Southerners who were brave enough to fight for what they believed to be the right, and Section 4 is a repudiation of the Confederate debt. But Section How could this, in good conscience, be omitted? Section 5 states that The Congress shall have power to enforce, by The Issues Concerning Freedom Lecture Series Makes Challenging Book Query: How many more appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article." It is on this section, together wkh the 10th Amendment to the Constitution, that the Southerner bases his opposition to the professed legality of the 1954 decision of the Supreme Court. The Congress has passed no legislation outlawing segregation of the races in the schools.

Of what concern to the Supreme Court should this be, therefore, since the Constitution the law of the land so specifically says that Congress shall enforce by appropriate legislation" this particular amendment? Im surprised that Congress has so willingly relinquished its responsibility in this do they have to eliminate to make the business pay? You quote the industry figures of a saving of 600 million per year if they can get rid of unnecessary firemen. I wonder where $3, 600,000, 000 is goings they save each year as result of almost 600,000 men they have cut off since 1949? You don't have to take word the way you take railroads'.

Great Issues Forum is under way again at the University of Utah with emphasis this academic year on peace. IT WAS appropriate that Dr. Waldemar Read, head of the department of philosophy, which sponsors the series, should deliver the opening lecture this year, emphasizing the moral arguments for peace. Professor Read climaxed last years forum in April with his resounding comments on the freedom, or lack of it, in the Utah culture. The witty and devastating lecture electrified the audience at Orson Spencer Hall and KUER radio listeners.

The, demand for texts of the lectures persuaded the University of Utah Press to publish the entire series of six with commentary, In both cloth-and paperback. Each lecture is a classic and several comments by faculty members and a few outsiders are priceless. INCLUDED IN the thin Sl a small town such as this, effects are necessarily exaggerated.

The figures above should convince you that the railroad unions have not stood cision, but the deliberate omission of so relevant a part of the 14th Amendment The free press has the responsibility of presenting the news impartially and completely. Only if the press diligently fulfills this responsibility will the American electorate remain well informed. If the press chooses instead to stoop to the use of censorship and half-truths, as it has done by replacing more than half of the 14th Amendment by those three dots, it guarantees that the American tradition of rule by law will soon be replaced by the rule of men, which is not very far removed from tyranny.
