THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Clinton, & C„ Thursday, November 14, IMS Toward No-Man’s Land The somewhat startling realisation that there are some other cherished and worthy “rights” besides those that have come to be known in the great surging crusade for black and white integration as “civil rights” is forcibly brought to mind in the current issue of the National Review Bulle tin. The publication sees in this “hot pursuit of social goals” the same spirit of des perate urgency that drives a nation at war —in which “we must, as in behalf of vic tory in wartime, be prepared to adjourn any commonly understood rights that stand in our way . . .” And National Review's observer of this frenetic scene cites some examples: “For instance: In New York last weak the Commission on Human Rights has called for giving Negro workers preferen tial treatment, *to make up for the dis crimination of 100 years.' The right erf white people to equal treatment, it is pro posed, shall be set aside. “For instance: In Chicago last week, tens of thousands of demonstrators called for compulsory reassignment of pupils in any school whose Negro enrollment ex ceeds 50 per cent The right of a student to attend the neighborhood school, irre spective of its racial composition, is, ap parently, to be set aside. “For instance: In the United Nations last week a resolution was passed, in the name of racial equality, demandnig that South Africa change its domestic policies. The right of a state to govern its own af fairs is to be set aside. “For instance: In Washington last week a committee of Congress endorsed an omni bus civil rights bill. It is proposed among other things, to deprive the individual en trepreneur of the right to manage his busi ness according to his own lights. “For instance: South Dakota took steps last week to pass, and enact into law, a constitutional amendment outlawing the poll tax. The right of the individual to decide what are the proper conditions for the exercise of the vote is to be eliminated. ‘How far is it all to go?” the magazine asks. “Last week the United Nations re vived a provision of the Genocide Conven tion calling for criminal penalties against anyone who raised his voice in such a way as to stimulate feelings against any race or religion ... It is proposed, then, to rede fine the freedom of speech. “How far indeed? . . . And when will the proponents of all these measures stop to realize that we have not much further to go before we will in fact be inviting the Negro race to join us equally in an unfree society?” Safety On A Plate Tbs American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, the state officials in charge of vehicle registration and ope ration, recently recommended the use of “safety” license plates as an effective, in expensive way to reduce rear-end collisions on our highways. The safety tags, now being used by IS states and the District of Columbia (and by three more states in 1964), are covered with a reflective material that shines bril liantly in the headlights of approaching cars. The cost of the plates, as compared to standard plates, is only about 26 cents more per car—cheap enough, if accidents and deaths are prevented by their use. These plates are particularly useful be cause studies ef the operating conditioa of cars over the past years show that rear lights and stop lights are the parts most commonly defective. In 1962, a National Safety Council study found that 24 per cent of cars had defective lights on the rear. The next most common item, front lights, was a distant second with only 11 per cent If a car could be equipped with a safety device that can be seen from as far as 1,600 feet at night even if a car that was parked or disabled had no operating lights, it could prevent many accidents. Stories Behind Words William by S. Penfield Vandal The Vandals—a fierce Germanic people—once oc cupied a region along the southern shore of the Baltic Sea. In the fourth century these barbaric people start ed a conquest of Western Europe and part of North Africa. Notice of Special Election Babeon Discusses Developing A New Industry “A Sham” The Consumer Advisory Council, one can safely say, is not widely known. It is among the youngest of the federal govern ment’s almost endless bureaus. Very re cently it submitted its first report, in which it dealt with current upward price trends. To quote it directly, “Our responsibility to the American consumer requires us to give attention and study to this subject in order to determine whether such increases ap pear to be justified from the consumer point of view. Now, it should be obvious to anyone that price increases may be justified for any number of reasons other than “the consumer point of view.” The consumer, naturally, wants to buy things as cheaply as possible. But the manufacturer and the retailer must pay wages and rents and tax es and all the other costs, and these must be reflected in the selling price of the prod uct. And, in a long editorial concerning the Council, Barron’s, Business and Finan cial Weekly, made this important point: “In theory as well as in practice, the or ganization is a sham. For contrary to the devisive tenets of the powers-that-be, con sumers do not constitute a special pressure group with special needs; everyone is a con sumer. Furthermore, as anyone in businsss will be glad to testify, in a society which enjoys freedom of choice, the oonsniKwr can take care of himself. The government is there to prevent the use of force or fraud. Beyond that, it would do beet to make itself scarce.” Babson Park, Mass., November 14—This is an article on whales, but I need the help of the Unit ed Nations to make whaling a “new” industry. Well, here is my story. MY BOYHOOD AND WHALES When I was a boy, it seemed as if the ocean was full of whales. They apparently lived at the bottom of the sea where they would not be har pooned by whalers going out from New Bedford, Mass., and other seaports which made a special ty of getting whales.. Gradually, the number of whales was depleted. Finally, an international “agreement” was arranged whereby the nations were given quotas; but these have never been honored. Therefore, I have a definite proposition, namely, that the whaling Industry be taken over by the United Nations, which would see that only the male whales are killed and that the female whales are allowed to re produce. This would seem a le gitimate work for the United Nations, and one which would bring the UN a definite in- come—I can imagine it making a good contribution toward pay ing up the United Nations’ pres- ■*a«r w. BakeM e nt deficit. HISTORY OF THE CATTLE INDUSTRY When I was a boy there was virtually no cat tle industry. My uncle went to Nebraska where the great horns were roaming freely over the prairies. Gradually, wire fences were erected to allow the cattle to be branded and ultimately dehorned. That was done with cattle, and we have the great cattle Industry of today. The same type of thing could be done with the whaling in dustry; but it must take place under water in stead of on the open prairie. Whales are mammals, not fish. They are kind ly and intelligent; but have gradually been driven away from civilized ports and killed, irrespective of whether they are male or female, and even when they are pregnant. The whaling Industry could be brought back and become almost as great as the cattle Industry; but this can only be done if the industry is controlled by an organiza- tion like the United Nations. LET US APPEAL TO THE UNITED NATIONS Therefore, I make an appeal to the United Nations that it seriously take up this problem be fore the whales all go to the Artie or Antarctic waters, largely under the ice, for protection. Let us turn the tide before it is too late, and bring forth and protect a new Industry for the world which will equal the cattle industry in impor tance, and provide wealth, employment, and prosperity for all who have a part therein. This is a very practical matter and it could easily be accomplished. The waters of the oceans are the only natural monopoly the United Na tions have. Certainly, before spending billions on “going to the moon,” we might find out what is at the bottom of the seas, which make up four- fifths of the world’s area and which we now know almost nothing about. HOW DID THE OIL INDUSTRY START? John D. Rockefeller personally told me that there was a break-through in Pennsylvania where the crust of the earth was thick, and a puddle of oil was seen on the surface. Later other “break-throughs” ocurred in California, Texas, and other states. This is the way the great oil industry started. WHAT ABOUT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN? It is only common sense to believe there are many “break-throughs" on the crust of the floor of the ocean through which ofl comes which the whale have been living on. Now, however, they have been driven north to the Arctic or south to the Antarctic, where it is too cold tor them to be found and killed. The bottom at toe ocean is today at brilliant a hunting greuaf as were the prairies of the Central West before the wire fences were built or the cattle Branded or de horned.
