May 24, 1962 Morals of The New Frontier By THUBMAN SENSING “Ask not what your country can do for ym fait what you can do for your country,” said Jofefi F. Kennedy in his In augural address. It was an in spiring statement, and one ap good Americans can endorse. But evidence is now at hand which shows that the first mes sage of the new president was not heeded by all inside his ad- of Labor—a sub-cabinet officer with high responsibilities —acknowledged that he had a cepted a $1,000 gift from a per son now under indictment on charges of fraud. The New Fron tier official said he accepted the gift because he was unable to live within his $30,000-a-year sal ary. This disclosure may be only the first little wind from a veri table storm of scandal blowing up the Potomac. Newspapers across the country are reporting some- very strange doings in the handling of goveraaneat agricul ture programs. Accusations have been made against Agriculture Department officials. Three of them, have resigned or been fired thus far. Whatever the full extent of dis- closure. there already is much available for good ctiizens to ponder. If there is something rot ten in some elements of the New Frontier, what went wrong? Wasn’t the New Frontier ship of state supposed to be maimed by idealists? The answer is not hard to find for those who want to find it. In the first place, government gets out of hand because it gets too |'W Gray Funeral Home *.c.

When government starts pay ing people for doing nothing, then the slick manipulator says to himself that he can arrange to get paid more than anyone else. When a nation’s foreign policy consists of w**M«g gifts to influ ence people. Is It soi prising that some officials allow this philoso phy to carry over into their jper- sonal Fees? admtois- iration practices favoritism, quietly handling Big Unionism gifts under the table while loudly berating more responsible ele ments in the nation, one should not be amazed that individual favoritism also becomes a prac tice in government Ini short, the New Frontier philosophy is one of handouts, tn- Moce-peddling and favoritism, both nationally and internation ally. Oh, It’s all on a high- mind ed plane, or so the egghead pro fessors insist. They scorn the small city business men and practical citizen who want a day’s work for a days’ pay. To the liberals, the conservative eth ic is old-fashkmed. It isn’t con sidered in New Frontier circles to tell unionists that they must produce more in order to earn more pay. Telling the Glumians to build their own dame—well, that simply isn’t done under the new regime in Washington. In stead, a political sharpie passes over raofcAy or benefits to those who wink and say they will vote right. The union leaders ptwiiae to deliver ttw urban votes. The postage stamp African state promises to deliver its vote in the U. N. But a country cannot long I operate on that kind of degrad ing philosophy. When a nation | bases its policies, both domestic and foreign handouts, influence-! peddling and favoritism, it is on the road to ruin. And the first kind of ruin is moral ruin—the worst kind of all. Policies de signed to woo votes become cor rupting of government officials and the citizenry. Income tax chiseling becomes a game for smart alecks. Profiteering from government programs becomes e field for exploitation. And, grad ually, a good government goes | to pieces in moral dissolution. This, then, is the real meaning I of the unpleasant news coming from Washington. The greatest damage the New Frontier is do ing is not to oar finances but to| our national morality.
