Personal Obligations
Thi!« l»einjr the wa^on f«r it, comment m
in order on that not-jwvmodem in*titution
known a-x the Commencement Addrea*.
For one thing, we were impressed to note
the concern of one speaker for his audience.
All>ert R. Beatty, assistant vice president of
the Association of American Railroads, told
the graduates of Aquinas College in Grand
Rapids. Mich., a* friend had reminded .him
that: “there may \yell have been as many as
five million commencement addresses since
graduation exercises were first held by Euro
pean universities in the Middle Ages, and
that some 20 billion words—give or take a
billion—have been loosed upon graduating
seniors . . and hinted that he would try to
emulate the terse mobilization order of Ethi
opia’s Haile Selassie in 1934.
“The country is now mobilized,” announc
ed the Lion of Judah. All men and boys able
to carry a spear will report for active duty
immediately. Married men will bring their
wives to do the cooking. Men who are not
married will bring any woman they can find.
The very young, the very old, and women
with young children need not report for ac
tive duty. Anybody else found at home after
issuance of this order will be hanged.”
As another example of getting it said eco
nomically, Mr. Beatty quoted these immortal
words of Edward Everett Hale (that are, in
cidentally, rather in the spirit of his Great
Uncle Nathan):
"1 am only one man but I am one man; 1
can’t do everything but I can do something;
what I can do, 1 ought to do; and what I
ought to do, by the Grace of God I will do.”
“Each of us.” said Mr. Beatty speaking on
his own, “can help to raise the standards of
our time through our own personal behavior.
But we must do more than set a good exam
ple .. . we must be willing to stand up and
be counted on issues that transcend material
consideration*.”
“Starting tomorrow, this graduating class
will be too old for the irresponsibilities of
carefree youth, and too young for the excus
es of old age It will be for this class, and all
other classes now graduating, to be militant
in championing that which ia right, to tough
en the moral fiber of our times, and to hold
for themselves and their posterity that which
is truly worthwhile in our way of life.
This, then, is the 'homework' that car
ries o\er from the campus to the rhanguw
horizons and the new challenges of a tomor
row that is already here.”
To which we can only add that those of
us who are without benefit of commence
ment advice may know best of all that our
“homework" will never be finished.
No Time For Brooding
We see by the high-pnced commentary of
some of our widely-known second-gueasers
that the obviously necessary withdrawal of
IVesidem Eisenhower’s invitation to viait
Japan is a humiliating defeat. It is more
humiliating than most, perhaps, when the
visitor is on the doorstep.
But one humiliation, like ope swallow, ap
parently, does not make a summer. We have
accepted humiliation in Panama, humiliation
in Cuba, humiliation deep in the mysterious
Urals at a place called Sverdlovsk, where (by
our own admission) Mr. K brought down
from the very’ edge of the atmosphere an
American spy and aH his works in remark
ably good condition. Following this, of course,
came the humiliation at Paris where Mr. K
bulldozed the summit he had so painstaking
ly beguiled us onto. Long before this, of
course, had come sundry Middle East hu
miliations growing out of our failure to com
prehend the Suez crisis — either before or
after seizure of the canal. And then, of
course, there were humiliations in South
America, but, by today’s standards, they can
only be considered as embarrassments. All of
these incidents are examples of Communism-
at-w’ork, but some were also evidences of
America-asleep.
We will agree that it has required more
than a wavering foreign policy, a State De
partment divided against itself, and the no
tion that peace is to be secured by supplica
tion to bring us to our present awkward po
sition. In fact, it has required the expendi
ture of more than $100 billion we didn’t
have (as indicated by our nearly $300 billion
national debt) to achieve our current global
unpopularity. ;
Fortunately, there are indications of a re
turn to first principles—the stepping-up of
defense appropriation* and increasing de
mand for cut* in foreign aid. These two ac
tivities should go hand-in-hand, dollar-for-
dollar. We do not need to spend more—mere
ly more wisely. The only worthwhile aid we
can give thp free world now must flow from
Communist respect for our defense posture.
Freedom, Hke charity, must begin at home.
Our own house is in economic disorder be
cause of our preoccupation with the neigh
bors’ and there are noisy delinquents on our
doorstep that are in the same bad pompany
as the Japanese schoolboys.
There never was more to be doner-right
here.
San Marino, Calif., Tribune: “Arizona’s
Senator Barry Goldwater, easily the domi
nating personality on today’s political spec
trum, drew wild applause and a standing
ovation in the packed auditorium of New
York’s Hunter College the day after the sum
mit collapse.
“ T am not as worried about Russia,’ he
said, ‘as the lack of moral might in this
country of ours’.”
Humboldt, Iowa, Independent: “With Rus
sia trying to destroy the United States’ posi
tion in the world, both as a military power,
and as a world leader of free nations, there
should be no political party lines drawm by
either party. National defense is not political.
It is a fight for survival.”

Coker testified that on the day of
the shooting be was running a fever
and had taken medicine and had
drunk a small amount of whisky
He said that on the night of the
shooting "I was feeling so bad some
times I didn't know if I was in the
world or not.”
He said he went to his bedroom,
stretched across the bed with his
clothes on and a short time later
heard McCarty say “he’d top the
bald-headed SOB.” The defendant
said he then got his gun and a
flashlight and was trying to get
through a door leading from his
room, to the outside of the house
when McCarty entered.
Coker testified that McCarty came
over and hit him in the ribs with
what he believed to be a wrench
and that he fell to his knees. He
said that when he raised up he
brought the gun around and it dis
charged. He said he saw McCarty
stagger backward toward “Red’s”
bedroom.
In cross-examination Coker testi
fied that his wife had heard him
ask the McCarty youth to leave the
home. But, Mrs. Coker, called by
Solicitor William Jones as a re
buttal witness, testified that she
had not heard her husband make
the request. She further testified
that she had always “welcomed”
the McCarty youth in the home,
that he was her ions’ best friend.

The groups which suffered the most included the

stocks were off 45%. Copper, lead, and zinc stocks
fell 49%; also alummnum stocks. The carpet and nig
group declined more than 50%. Over the long run,
stocks of natural resource companies should ulti

WHAT ABOUT ELECTRONICS STOCKS?
During the last bear market, the electronics stocks
were not popular. There was then no attempt to fire
long-range missiles, or to circle the moon with rock
ets. This is something which has developed during
the present bull market, which has been in exist
ence for about ten years. This electronic am space
work might change the positions of many to the
groups listed above.
My own opinion is that these electronic and apace
stocks would be listed with those which showed a de
cline to over 40%. I, to course, am in favor to a grad
ual reduction in armaments. On the other hand, if
gradual disarmament comes about, I fear that the
electronic and apace stocks could severely suffer. In
fact, a good many to the other stocks groups mention
ed above would do well to hold their record to die
last bear market.
