Want to get good marks for
eehool projects?
“I think I should get an A,”
one young mother mentioned re
cently. Her project: helping a
son with a 6th grade project in
Indian lore.
Storybooks, crayons and house
hold items all went into the ef
fort. In a pinch, she says, you
can make almost anything with
crayons and paper bags or plain
brown craft paper. A headdress
of “feathers” can be cut out and
colored. Wigwams can be made
with paper and sticks. A round
container of arry size can be
turned into a tribal drum, proper
ly decorated.
Some schools assign a great
many projects. Others may ask
special work from a child only
once a year. But at some point
any school-goer may be asked
to make a scale model of a scene,
or build a special exhibit, or re
search a period of history and
Illustrate it in some way.
A number of play materials are
handy in these situations.
“Children’s inexpensive non-
•fiction books offer pictures that
serve as a useful reference for
school project s,” reminds
Dorothy Haas, an editor with.
Whitman Publishing Company of
Racine, Wisconsin. There are
books about rockets, about stars,
about airports, about pioneers,
about trees, about prehistoric
monsters, and more. A trip to the
counter of the nearest variety
store can be a short-cut for a
parent who must help provide
ideas and low-cost materials.
A parent soon learns to ac
cumulate many objects from
shoeboxes to popsicle sticks that
may be called for.
“First I get a book,” agrees a
project-wise father. “My son
reads it with me. We cover the
dining table with oilcloth. I set
out what he needs, and he goes
ito work. The hardest part is not
joining in, but just being an
adviser.”
Some people get so fascinated
by a chance to set up the landing
of Columbus or show the life of
the Pilgrims that the whole
| family may help. Many parents
even miss their “homework” af-
Iter the children graduate.

The Radical Left
THE MAN primarily charged
with keeping tabs on enemy
plans to subvert our Nation has
been in large part ignored in his
admonitions on internal security.
For the past several years, FBI
Director J. Edgar Hoover has
warned in books, articles,
speeches, and testimony about
three primary projects of the
communists in the United States:
(1) twisting of minds of campus
youngsters with communist dog
ma; (2) exploitation and infil
tration of civil rights move
ments; and (3) the silencing of
anti-communist voices. In recent
months, the fruits of communist
seed planted across America
have been blossoming forth on
campuses, in the streets, and in
left-wing periodicals.
IN RECENTLY released tes
timony given before the House
Appropriations Committee, Mr.
Hoover officially revealed the
communist orientation of the
student demonstrations at the
University of California. He
stated that 43 individuals with
communist back-rounds, five of
them being professors and all
being connected with the Univer
sity, played active roles in the
explosive developments.
MR. HOOVER laid bare com
munist actions for pumping
propaganda at college campuses,
recruiting new members, and es
tablishing front group opera
tions. He particularly deplored
the increasing number of lec
tures being presented on cam
puses by leading Communist
Party officials. Given special at
tention by Mr. Hoover was the
lew communist-organized W E.
B. DuBois Clubs of America. He
laid this organization “is de
signed to attract youth interest
ed in peace, disarmament, civil
rights, and the like.”
THE PROGRESS of the com
munist efforts to exploit and
infiltrate civil rights groups has
been astounding. This has even
been publicly acknowledged by
concerned “liberal” columnists
I placed in the Congressional
Record of May 20 a newsletter
of the American Flag Committee
setting forth in 1956 the Com
munist Party’s detailed plan for
causing a voting rights crisis
in early 1965, a civil rights fight
over public accommodations in
1964, and the employment of
demonstrations and civil diso
bedience to stampede Congress
into enacting Red proposals for
subverting the powers of State
and local governments The
newsletter forecast the tactics
and timing almost perfectly
IN TESTIFYING on present
operations of the communists in
the area of civil rights, Mr.
Hoover told the committee of a
recruitment drive now underway
among Negro youth. He added:
‘The party plans to hold a train
ing school for youth in New
York City in the summer of 1965
. . . In addition, certain Com
munist Party, U.SA., youths
will be asked to go to the South
during the summer of 1965 to
work with civil rights organi
zations.”
ONE OF THE reasons why
the public ardor for civil dis
obedience has cooled in recent
weeks—and at the White House,
too—is because many of the
same beatnik demonstrators in
volved in the Selma provoca
tions have been found working
together in pacifist demonstra
tions against U. S. policies re
sisting communist aggression.
ANTI-COMMUNIST individu
als and groups are on the de
fensive in the U. S. today as
never before. They are being
harassed, smeared, and investi
gated by government agencies
and left-wing news media. In
deed, the false idea has been
planted across the country that
the real enemy of America is
the anti-communist rather than
the communist.
HERE IS Mr. Hoover’s frank
evaluation of communist plans
for further progress in America:
“Encouraged by recent court de
cisions which the party consid
ers major victories in its efforts
to nullify the Internal Security
Act of 1950, and convinced that
a large segment of the popula
tion is ready to accept some
form of socialism as a cure for
domestic problems, such as civil
rights and poverty, the party
has streamlined its structure in
preparation for operating more
openly.”
THE NUMBER one enemy of
the American way of life is the
Radical Left with its revolution
ary aim of leveling all Ameri
cans to a common plane under
an all-powerful centralized bu
reaucracy The Congress is past
due in thoroughly investigating
the Radical Left for purposes of
considering new internal securi
ty legislation Communist and
front groups have been able to
get too far in recent years be
cause internal security laws
have been rendered impotent by
Supreme Court decisions.

THE “SPECTATOR S” COLUMN
Says the daily paper: “India
sides with Soviets against the
United States.” Well, of course;
the most ungrateful persoil is
sometimes the person you have
helped. We have poured hundreds
of millions of dollars into India,
so, quite naturally, she fancies us
a lot of softies. I think so too.
Why don’t we let the other nations
manage for themselves?
What nation in the world has
received most from us? France,
of course. What is the attitude of
France? Quite unappreciative, or
ungrateful, even a bit unfriendly.
Why do we maintain naval bases
in England and France? To pro
tect France. Why did we spend
and lend and give hundreds of
millions to France ? To save
France from the Germans. And
today we still have armies, ships,
planes protecting France!
Why many thousands of Amer
icans in France and West Germ
any, England and Scotland? To
protect France. Why not let the
French dance to their own music?
Likewise we should bring home
all our men from Germany and
Great Britian.
Who are our friends? Have
we friends? If we would attend to
our business and let others attend
to their affairs the whole world
would be better I think.
I am not an advocate of Gov
ernment (State or Federal) oper
ating business affairs. The State
and Nation should get out of the
power business and other business
except the business of orderly ad
ministration of public affairs. ’But
a condition has arisen that is ser
ious: I am thinking of automobile
liability insurance. Our rates are
high and now threaten to become
well-nigh prohibitive.
I do not know how we can car
ry on with one half the State with
out liability insurance and the
other half virtually groaning un
der' prohibitive liability rates.
Many men think the solution would
be to have the Highway depart
ment sellability insuranct when it
sells a driver’s license. I should
dislike to see the insurance busi
ness handled by the State, but
what is the remedy for the impo
sition of more or less confiscatory
or prohibitive rates? Think it
over.
Shall we call on the government,
all of us? It appears that some
claims on us, like liability, increase
and interest and some must pay
while the government is adopting
plans that will further burden the
Government and may increase the
burden on those who pay taxes.
Now let us see: hundreds of
thousands of people will receive
government hand-outs; and bil
lions of dollars will be given to
foreign countries; and those who
pay must pay more.
Wouldn’t you like to wake up
and find that all this free-handed
giving is only a dream; and that
the Government is still safe and
sound as in the time of Calvin
Coolidge ?
We are trying to spend our
selves rich and the experience of
all times proves that it can’t be
done.
Who would have thought it?
“Wall Street recently has been
treated to a sizzling hot new issue
reminiscent of last summer’s take
off of Communications Satelite
Corp.—though with very little of
the fanfare surrounding Comsat’s
stock launching. Moreover, the
current object of the market’s af
fection, McDonald’s Corp. repre
sents no dramatic technological
breakthrough; it operates a chain
of drive-in restaurants, specializ
ing in 15 cent hamburgers. Three
weeks ago, 300,000 shares of Mc
Donald’s common stock were of
fered to the public by several ma
jor stockholders, at 22 1-2; the
stock immediately jumped to a
six-point premium ended the
day with an eight-point gain. It
has continued to climb since then,
a..d last week w r as quoted as high
as 46 1-2 bid and 47 asked.
Based in 1964 net of $1.34 on
each of the 1.5 million shares out
standing, the stock currently is
selling at a lofty 34 times earn
ings. Whether or not that multiple
proves too rich in the months a-
head remains to be seen. However,
unlike high-flying Comsat, which
expects no significant operating
revenues until late in 1967, Mc
Donald’s boasts an impressive rec
ord of sales and earnings. Between
1960 and 1964, revenues rose nine
fold; from $2.9 million, to $25.9
million; profits more than kept
pace, soaring from $77,330 to $2
million and virtually doubling dur
ing the first quarter sales and an
even sharper gain in earnings; to
24 cents a share, from six cents.
McDonald’s already is one of
the nation’s largest drive-in chains
wnth 677 units, 89 operated by the
company and the rest by licensees.
Another 120 will be opened this
year. Despite the $81,500 initial
investment required, McDonald’s
franchises are snapped up eagerly.
The company now has a waiting
list of over 60 applicants who have
passed its rigid screening tests,
including graduation from its Elk
Grove, 111., training school, known
appropriately at Hamburger Uni
versity.”
There is vast wealth under the
seas, and more and more money
is being spent to utili it.
“While much of today’s activi
ty is directed toward mastering
the underwater environment so as
to deter an enemy’s weapon’s, and
protect one’s own, the sea around
us also is begining to get serious
attention for reasons concerned
with improving the everyday hu
man condition. Thus, the ocean
teems with protein that could help
feed starving masses in the un
derdeveloped countries. Specifi
cally, it contains deposits of sev
eral minerals which are increas
ingly hard to find on land.
With the world’s supply of fresh
water nnder mounting . pressure
from expai ding population, the
sea offers the most feasible source
of replinishment—and on a lim
itless scale, once the economics
can be worked out.
Oceanographic firms are being
asked to undertake surveys of all
kinds for government and indus
try. This spring, Texas Instru
ments received from the U. S.
Naval Oceanographic Office a
$5.6 million four-year contract for
a geophysical survey covering
broad areas of the Atlantic, the
Norwegian and Mediterranean
seas.
Outlays over the decade would
come to $2.3 billion, of which $1.3
billion (56 per cent) would be allo
cated to basic science. Some $750
million (32 per cent) would go to
support applied oceanography and
the rest for routine surveys. The
Navy also has its own 10-year
program, involving expenditures
of over $1 billion.
As more money gradually be
comes available, most of it will
continue to be spent by the Navy,
in the quest for more effective
methods of anti-submarine war
fare. Nothing more dramatically
highlighted the present gain in
such knowledge than the tragic
and unexplained loss of the
Thresher, and the hard job of
locating her and salvaging the
wreckage.
The chemical and drug indus
tries, too, are believed to have a
big future stake in the ocean.
Common salt has been produced
from prehistoric times by evapor
ating of sea water; magnesium
and magnesium compounds, sod
ium and potassium compounds and
bromine are also now derived
from the sea in commercial quan
tities. Experts at Dow' Chemical,
the principal producer of magne
sium from sea water, dream of a
$100 million facility which could
produce 93 million tons of various
elements, metals and compounds,
with a value of $1.3 billion each
year.
One exotic by-product of cur
rent research could be the salvage
of sunken ships. Techniques de
veloped in the search for the
Thresher and the families of sub-
mersibles now emerging should
expedite this process. It is esti
mated that a million ships have
gone to the bottom since the be
ginning of history, carrying with
them one eighth of all the world’s
created wealth, from gold bars and
piece sof eight to cargoes of iron
ore and other strategic materials
torpedoed during World War II.
One diving-bell expedition has re
covered $7 million in gold bullion
sunk off Australia during the last
war.
The experts generally think the
next five years will be devoted to
continued study of the ocean en
vironment; five years after that
to applying the results of this
research; then half a century or
more to exploiting the sea’s seem
ingly limitless resources.
