FREE MONEY—WITH
STRINGS ATTACHED
If you knew you could get
several million dollars free to
complete a pet project,
wouldn’t you try immediately
to take advantage of the op
portunity ?
Many people would — and
most educational institutions
do. Under the giant Federal
Aid to Education program,
hundreds of millions of dollars
are given to colleges and uni
versities, both private and pub
lic.
But one College president
who recently appeared on the
Manion Forum refuses to even
consider accepting Federal
funds. He is Dr. John Howard,
President of Rockford College
in Illinois,
Howard maintains that Fed
eral Aid to Education tends to
destroy the diversity that has
been a traditional hallmark of
our schools. “The educational
institutions which have grown
up through the years have been
very different from each oth
er,” he pointed out. “I dont’
think we realize how import
ant this difference is. It isn’t
only that such an educational
system serves well a nation of
diverse population groups, but
the products of all those dif
ferent colleges as they go into
positions of leadership, being
diverse, provide a very creative
sort of nation. The reliance up
on a single source of funds will
destroy that diversity.”
Certainly most Americans
shudder at the thought of one
huge educational system,
whose products have all been
schooled to think a certain way.
But proponents ’ of Federal Aid
insist that there' is no danger
of this, because the Aid is free,
with no strings. Here is what
Dr. HowatcT said bn that sub
ject :

I have just read something
from the Baltimore Sun: It
is very clear and revealing.
Just as we of Massachusetts,
Virginia and South Carolina
reveal somewhat of the early
British flavor of our govern
ment and social order—after
all the years since 1670, so
some of our statesmen of Tex
as upbringing show the Mexi
can psychology, for Texas
was Mexican politically until
about 1847 and carries the fla
vor of it still. Of course fol
lowing the Civil war, many
Virginians and Carolinians
moved to Texas as may be the
leavening influence, so far as
Texas seems American.
The Spanish have long since
lost control of Mexico, Peru,
Chile, the Argentine and Ven
ezuela, but Spanish still per
meates all.
Incidentally no one can real
ly understand a nation or its
people by a haphazard visit,
spent largely in hotels. Until
one can speak and understand
a language he is only super
ficially, very superficially in
formed.
By the way, what do you
know of the vast Amazon riv
er? Of course I might find
that most of our people have
the vaguest notion of the Mis
PROTECTING CAPTURED AMERICANS
THE PRESENT CONFLICT
in Southeast Asia occupies an
agonizingly unique status, for
there is nothing comparable in
U.S. history. Although the mili
tary forces of the United States
are and have been locked in
combat, no state of war has
been declared to exist by the
Congress.
EVEN THE EVENTS in Ko
rea do not serve as a precedent
for the current situation. In
that instance, the United Na
tions, acting under the charter,
declared the communist in
vasion of South Korea a “threat
to the peace,” and officially
authorized intervention by mili
tary forces of member nations.
This action by the UN Security
Council, to some served as a
substitute under international
law for official declarations of
war by participating nations.
THE C.S. HAS TAKEN the
position that this fa Sooth Viet
Nam’s war ' for independence,
and we are merely assisting. It
fa significant, however, that the
United States has repeatedly
annoooed that it has no inten
tion or purpose to undermine
or overthrow the existing com-
munist government of North
Viet Nam. A 'declaration of war
by the United States against
North Viet Nam, according to
historical ~ precedents, would
conflict with this announced
policy of non-interference with
the political control exercised
by Hie Ho Chi Mlnh govern
ment.
THERE A^E MORE VALID
considerations which weigh
against a declaration of war.
Such a declaration would vali
date and authorize a broad ex
panse of Preafidential war pow
ers which haye been set up on
a stand-by basis. There is legiti
mate concern about Hie effect
of a declaration of war in this

Dr. Howard’s arguments ag
ainst Federal Aid are very con
vincing—but one question stil
remains. Where is the money

the growing American popula
tion? For Dr. Howard’s unique
answer, watch for this column

THE DANGER OF “EASY”
, FEOfigAL^MONEY
A statewide ousinessmen’s
organization in a midwestern
state recently held a sympos
ium in its capital city for local
Chambers of Commerce staff
executives and city and county
government officials. The key
note speaker stated the topic
of discussion: “So many Fed
eral handout programs are be
ing created in the ‘War on
I Poverty’ that the typical city
and county have only a hazy
idea of what they can get and
how to get it. We have brought
together for this symposium
Federal and State experts to
enumerate and explain the new
Federal aid projects and what
each community and county
must do to get its share.”
One of the members of Con
gress who appeared on the
symposium program said: “I
voted against all these pro
posals, but they passed Con
gress and now we’d be foolish
not to get every penny of this
money we can get. Our taxes
are helping pay for the pro
grams.”
He was one of the “experts”
but had come out from Wash
ington to assure his constitu
ents his office was prepared
to help cut the red tape. The
experts explained the programs
and the “paper work” neces
sary by each community and
county to “qualify” for the
easy money.
“Bred and Circuses”
Out of this symposium (and
they are being held in many
areas of the nation) came
some significant facts: 1. The
statewide businessmen’s organ
ization and the Chambers of
Commerce which sent execu
tives to the symposium had
historically voiced opposition
to “Federal Aid” programs of
the type being discussed. 2.
The keynoter did not talk
about and local “needs” but
emphasized the bonanza-for-
all nature of the Federal out-
i pouring of money. 3. The Con
gressman’s “practical” attitude
shows how the idea of “some
thing for nothing” ultimately
infects a whole society once
it has taken root.
Great societies are not creat
ed through paternalism. They
are destroyed by it. History
records a long list of nations
which rose to the pinnacle of
world leadership and then fell
victim of the deterioration of
individual responsibilty. The
fall of the Roman Empire is
but one dramatic example of
the deadly effect of Govern
ment-provided “bread and cir
cuses” for the population.
Cultivating Dependency
The swiftly expanding array
of “War on Poverty” programs
conceived by the “Social Se
curity” planners in Washing-
tbn are designed, they say, to
improve the lot of individual
persons. The net results of
many “projects” is to provide
easy income for persons classi
fied as “poor” or “disadvan
taged.” But instead of stimu
lating and motivating a will to
ward seif - improvement and
self-reliance in the individual,
too often the “aid” programs
are based on paternalism—
care and control. And this
poses a grave danger to the
American way of life and the
great general prosperity which
it has brought.
“Give a man a fish,” an old
proverb says, “and you feed
him a day. Teach him to catch
a fish and you feed him for
life.” Some few of the pro
grams coming out of Wash
ington are directed at improv
ing the level of competence of
individuals but on the broad
front they are handing out fish
rather than teaching people
to catch their own. No more
dramatic proof of the destruc
tive nature of such paternalism
can be found than in the story
of the sea gulls of Conch
Island, Florida, just off the
waterfront at St. Augustine. A
few years ago, their pitiful
plight made news in papers all
over the nation.
Too Many “Free Lunches”
The Conch Island gulls were
the pride of the Atlantic,
powerful of wing, keen of eye,
flashing, slashing, diving fish
ermen. For years they would
fly each morning far out to
sea, search out their small fish
prey schools, and dive among
them to eat their fill. Then the
shrimp fleet moved into the
late evening each day, the fleet
would come in from the shrimp
grounds and at dockside clean
thousands of pounds of shrimp.
The water was littered with
bits of culled shrimp. The
Conch Island gulls saw the
bonanza. They quit flying out
over the ocean hundreds of
miles for food. Often the tide
even brought the shrimp meat
right up on the Conch Island
Beaches — supper served in

Where are our great men?
As a man said, “they ain’t.”
Why not? Can it be that the
dollar is the only measure of
a man? Is the dollar all sup
reme ? Will it,. buf. ’ anything,
everything? ItVieems so, but
now and then we find a person,
man or woman, who thinks a-
bove and beyond a dollar. Rare
thing, certainly, but we’ve all
been so fortunate as to meet
some one occasionally who. finds
sound, solemn values in some
thing other than physical,
monetary, value. But Uncle

As I sat in the bleachers
some one made a bumble and
a fan shouted ‘Send him to

Manning’s world-wide fame,

made a world record about 60
years ago of not winning a
single game! So Manning was
known in New York!
We’ve had a number of

Matthewson, you may recall,

I am still somewhat of a
baseball fan, very quietly so
and largely through the news
papers. My special interest to
day is “The Yankees” of New
York American League. Bobby
Richardson is my hero on that
team. I once cherished many
heroes on the diamond, includ
ing the enigmatic “Bugs Ray
mond” of Charleston and New
York fame.
My baseball hero of all time
was Christy Matthewson, the
New York wonder. I saw him
once in New York. I remained
over because I was sure he
would be in the box on Mon
day for Matty never played on
Sunday.
And Matty was there, winn
ing his game. In Matty’s youth
he was a marvel, like Koufax,
with a world of speed, curves
and remarkable control.
Later Matty took it easy,uge.

Bull’s Island, already you are

this. SCE&G will accomplish
the feat with the help of a
helicopter to set the poles into

This muck extends down about
30 feet before solid marl is en
countered. The ground crews
will reach pole sites by boat or
by wading. At each pole site
they will drive a hollow pipe
and load it with dynamite. The
helicopter will then lower a
pole, which ground crewmen
will Hold upright by lines pre

dynamite is exploded, the base
of the pole will slip down into
the cavity blasted out beneath
it. A timber attached crosswise
above the base will allow it to
sink to the resired depth. Once
in place, the mud will usually
fill in around the pole of its
own pccord and after the poles
are set, the helicopter will ag<
