THREE BATTLES
( ''jnun'ss is l.triii^ action on
thire .-M'paratc battlefields. The
Iir-.| is the baitle tor a sound
ti-cnl policy. The second is the
battle against domestic crime
and riots. The third is the battle
to bring a decisive conclusion
to the war in Vietnam.
FIS( AL SANITY
The battle for fiscal saniU
must be waged in the lace of
overwhelming pressures for new
spending programs. The Presi
dent's spending proposals in the
Slate of the Union message
anticipate a deficit of $20 bil
lion under current revenue re
sources. Kven if he should get
the proposed 10 per cent surtax
on incomes, the nation will still
be $8 billion deeper in debt.
It is true that the spending
programs which the President
rammed through the last ses
sion of Congress have resulted
iu certain mandatory increases,
commitments which cannot now
Im“ reversed. Nevertheless, other
programs must he reduced to
pay for the spending ipree—
and no new programs should
lie introduced.
Kxccpt (or increases neces
sary to conduct the Vietnam
War, the level of spending for
fi'-eal ..ear 19(19 should not bc
auy higher than for fiscal year
19(18.
Tin President made a great
flourish about proposing to take
off the so-called “gold cover" —
the legal requirement that Fed
eral Reserve currency be backed
by 25 per cent of its value in
gold. Most economists agree
that the removal of the gold
cover would be a symbolic ac
tion that would do little to
strengthen the American dollar
At the end of Decenaber, the
present U.S. supply of gold was
about $12 billion, a $] billion
drop over November. Nearly
$11 billion of that gold Is re
quired by law to cover our cur
rency supply. This leaves about
$1 billion to meet about $14.5
billion in official foreign claims.
Removing the gold cover
would not be a miraculous solu
tion. restoring confidence in
the dollar. Outstanding claims
against our gold would still
be more than our supply.
Confidence in the dollar can
be restored only by correcting
UuP financial mismanagement
which has brought about mu
balaiiec-of-payment woes lb
moving the gold covet wdi In
harmful if inflation and rvee
sivc government spending con
tinue.
( KIMK SPKKK
Iu the same way, cotilidciici
in government itself can be i r
stored only if our nation-widi
crime spree can be stamped out
What our citizens feat most p
local crime, sudden and une\
pected destroying the freedom
of out streets
The Supreme Court has, in
effect, tied the hands o! local
law enforcement agencies and
made crime into a nation.-u
problem. Yet this Admmistra
tion has blocked passage of tin
Safe Streets and Crime (’outrot
Bill because of Congi es-noi ,n
proposals for bloc grants p
local police (with no strings
attached), lor court-approved
wiretapping and for the adnus
sion of certain voluntarv con
lessions as evidence in court.
VIKTNAM
Finally, a major battle stdi
looms in Vietnam. If tins wat
is not to end in a costlv stoic
mate, our policies must take a
dramatic change It is not to<
late to remove the remaining
restrictions on bombing and t<
order the closing of Haiphong
and other ports through which
Soviet supplies are delivered to
the enemy.
When an American bomb ac
cidentally hit a Soviet ship in
Haiphong Harbor recently we
were forced to apologize loi
injuring so-called “non-hostHe'
shipping Under the logic ot out
policy, we had no othei choice
Fortunately, the appointment
of a new Secretary of Defense
offers the opportunity for a
change of policy The very tact
of a change at the top otters
the President a chance to m ikr
a graceful exit from rigid and
doctrinaire policies of Mr Clil
ford’s predecessor
These three battles are ton
most in the concern of ,di
Americans. We can win till
three if we have the will to do
what is necessary to win

UNITED STATES SENATOR
COMMENTS
ON
MEN AND THINGS
By SPECTATOR . . .
It seems to me to be a pol
icy of prudence that the
State set aside funds for the
uncertainties of the future.
Let us learn from the prodi
gality of our National Gov
ernment. And what has the
Congress done, under the lash
o! President .Johnson■’ Appro
priated money hand over list
lor all sorts of things until
now we hear the urgent ap
peal for more taxes. More
taxes! What a ridiculous
course! Our national budget
exceeds a hundred billion dol
lars and that does not include
a score of contingencies. In
language of the street we
have gone "hog-wild”.
A policy of prudence should
have suggested sharp cur
tailment wherever and when
ever possible, without sacri
ficing the defense of the na
tion.
A first course would have
clamped decisively on all
new ventures, including a
dozen just coming to life. We
should have eliminated all
foreign aid and looked to do
mestic soundness.
In almost every nation we
have heavy investments in
personnel, as well as gifts
and grants.
You're read that the Vice
President is running about
and promising gifts and
grants here and there' with no
appreciation of the financial
condition of our own nation.
Naturally the Vice President
is following the course of his
illustrious Chief who seems
to think that all taxpayers
own oil wells in Texas.
In South Carolina the idea
of a surplus nest egg meets
with much opposition. We
can all understand the temp
tation to spend and spent and
The idea is to increase taxes.
Let’s increase this and that;
hut do we operate our private
affairs on that basis? Sadly
many do, but common saga
city prompts even people of
small incomes to try to save
a nest egg. Or have we grown
so utterly reckless that we
expect the State or National
Government to provide for us
in all contingencies?
What we need is a little
horse-sense in the Legis
lature, as well as in Congress.
ISRAEL
The Wall Street .Journal
tells us that Israel may hold
and retain the territory it
overran and conquered in the
brief but brilliant campaign
it waged against a combin
ation of Arabian nations.
Well, why not'.’ Doesn't
Russia still hold Czechoslova
kia, half of Germany and all
Poland'.’ Does any great na
tion challenge this'’ Accord
ing to reports of commanders
in the field, the United States
troops were in Berlin and re
tired so that Russia might
enter. That was part of the
wasteful policy of President
Roosevelt.
Mr. Roosevelt seemed to
think he could smile his way
to success, but Russia smiles
only when she holds posses
sion.
SUPREME COURT
Strangely enough I've nev
er met a lawyer who seemed
aware of Congress’ control of
the Supreme Court.
Article 3, under Judicial
power has the last clause as
follows:
“Jurisdiction of the Su
preme Court. . . The Su
preme Court has jurisdiction
etc. . . With such exceptions
and under such regulations
as the Congress shall
make. . . ’’
THE CITADEL
I like the martial picture of
a military parade; and I’ve
observed picked forces of
England, France, Belgium
and South America. But the
most appealing military is
(or was) the Citadel battal
ion marching through the
Sally-port of the Old Citadel
on the way for practice drill
or parade.
Even when I taught there I
never grew weary of the
Cadets or the field.

S’ i; atui - Fin ii and Dirk
g, m a tnp.iiti a: move haNe
a.-ked that this racial rc(|uin'-
ment be eliminated. They
pointed out that proof beyond
a reasonable doubt of a motive
hidden in the innermost re
cesses of a defendant’s mind
next to impossible—that
convictions would be easier if
the “because of race” require
ment were stricken. But if
this were done, the political
impact would be lost. The pro
ponents are not interested m
protection or enforcement.
They’re interested in th. poli
tics. And they don’t want the
special favor for a group to
be discolored with protection
for all. Once more Southern
ers who oppose the bill will
be classified as bigots, fili
bustering. and against equal
rights. To make my position
clear—I am for the Negro be
ing provided this protection.
But not because be is a Negro.
Hi' deserves it because he i
a citizen, and all citizens must
be protected alike. I will sup
port the amendment to give
this protection to each citizen
regardless of race. Not be
cause of race. Federal protec
tion should not tie given one
group and denied others. The
premise of our Constitution
is equal justice under law.
One other amendment 1 will
support The bill employs the
phrase, “whether or not act
ing under color of law.” This
is to emphasize that police of
ficers, who of course act under
“color of law,” must he re
spectful of those engaged in
peaceful demonstration or ex
ercising a Federal right. But
once again—a violator should
ho prosecuted regardless of
who ho is. And the legislative
branch should not make it
open season on the law en
forcement officer by trying to
describe violators. For ex
ample. a police officer will
necessarily employ harsh lan
guage against an unruly
group about to get out of
hand or riot. Or he may take
a culprit by the arm. In both
instance? the members of the
demonstrating group or the
