Another problem is that of
delay. A governor has thirty
days in which to veto a pro-
gram after it has been ap-
proved by the Office of Eco-
nomic Opportunity, and he can
wait until the last day to make
up his mind. Under the excuse
of re-studying a program that
has been proposed in good faith
by a .ocal community and ex-
amined thoroughly and ap-
proved by the Office of Eco-
nomic Opportunity, many pro-
jects have been delayed the full

area had been filled. When the Top Command
of the Poverty War is that impoverished for
troops, it would seem necessary at least to
change the theme to “It’s What’ll Happen,
Maybe.”
One of the problems, according to a report
in one capital city newspaper, is that there are
too many recruiters vying for potential re-
cruits. But, at the same time, a Job Corps
official has been quoted as saying that the re-
cruiting offices have been "letting the kids
come to them instead of being aggressive.1

Name The Congress
ferent idea as to the function Legislator
should serve in our Federal Government The
resultant performance has prompted one news-
man to refer to this session as “The Johnson
Congress."
This is, as far as we know, the first time
in the history of the Name-The-Congress game
than anyone has actually given it the name of
the Chief Executive. We note, however, that
the “Rubber-Stamp" label, which seemed ap-
propriate enough at the start, has become in-
adequate to describe the performance of thi.
89th Congress. For it only implied a rush
to the ink pad.- to endorse Executive pro-
posals, whereas this cast of political pup-
pets now pull on their own strings in further-
ance of the powers of the Executive Branch
and rhe whims of the Chief Executive. The
resulting whirl and clatter has caused one ob-
server to label it the “Vending Machine
Congress."
Happily, this is a game anyone can play.
So. if none of the labels we've memtioned
suit your own appraisal of the 89th Congress,
you name it. But--you can’t have it. For
clearly, this one belongs to Lyndon Johnson
and picked out a formula by
which they defined those states
that were allegedly denying the
opportunity to vote and regis-
ter to some of their citizens.
The fact that these states
arc the states that have shown
the greatest pollctical inde-
pendence of the Kennedy and
Johnson administrations is not
coincidence. The law may be
said to represent a direct at-
tempt to smash the last
pockets of resistance to Big
Government in the United
States. Mr. Johnson, in acorn-
ball publicity-seeking move,
went to the Capitol and signed
the voting bill with a bust
of Lincoln in the background.
Perhaps millions of naive peo-
ple will believe that this leg- ,

voted to eliminate the gover-

Changing the Tune
The office of Economic Opportunity, other-
wise known as Poverty War HQ and some-
time;; as Johnson’s Ant^Poverty People, has
•nnounced abandonment of rock *n’ roll and
substitution of concert piano in conjunction wtih
Job Corps recruitment and training.
We’re not clear about what has prompted this
change; it could be. for one thing, that having
lured some live cats to the Opportunity Office
with a gone beat it is necessary to change
the tempo so they’ll stop snapping their fingers
long enough to sign up. On the other hand,
it appears that rock ’n’ roll hasn't been quite
as effective in attracting recruits to the Job
Corps as the poverty officials had hoped it
would be Their 90-minute TV spectacular

EDITORIAL PAGE
The Senate Labor and Pub-
lic Welfare Committee, of
which I am a member, has
been reviewing the War on
Poverty program which has
now been in effect for about a
year We are trying to im-
prove this anti-poverty pro-
gram for the next year, to
help the low income people
of this country help them-
selves in the best way that
we can.
In this committee, we have
found out that there is one ma-
jor drawback to the way the
program has been run in the
past, which has hurt the effi-
cient administration of the
anti-poverty program. That
problem is the governor’s ve-
to at the state level, of what
are essentially local commu-
nity programs at the county
or city level.
Besides the actual veto, the
“threat of veto” and the de-
lay which this threat is caus-
ing these programs while
waiting for a governor to make
up his mind whether to veto
or not to veto a project, can
largely cripple the War on
Poverty
There are numerous re-
ports of governors using the
threat of vetoing a project
either to get his political ap-
pointees on the sponsoring
board, or to purge from the
board people who have not sup-
ported the governor
The Neighborhood Youth
Corps Projects and the com-
munity action projects are lo-
cally sponsored programs or-
ganized by the people them-
selves. They are non-politi-
cal, and largely organized by
civic organizations such as the
United Fund, Boys Club, and
local churches. To allow a
governor to kick these good
people off a board and sub*
islation proceeds from a
desire for justice at the polls.
But those with a clearer vision
of the opportunism and ruth-
lessness now rampant in
Washington know that the
federal Voting Rights Act is
aimed at completing thr pro-
cess of a One-Party--almost
One-Man --regime in this
country.
The federal courts long
since have been packed by ad-
herents of the super-state.
Only recently, Mr. Johnson
nominated for the Supreme
Court his longtime political
crony and political fixer, Abe
Fortas--the man who endea-
vored to have the Washington
press conceal the fact that a
sexual offender on the White
House staff had been arrested.
Nevertheless, for the his-
torical record, if nothing else,
one may hope that some of the
states will challenge the fed-
eral Voting Rights Act in the
courts. The ground on which
it should be challenged is
that it does not provide equal
application of the law, but sin-
gles out six states for spe-
cial punitive measures. In-
deed, to be specific, it pro-
vides tliat the authority of
these states to conduct regis-
tration of voters be taken away
from them in certain circum-
stances.
This is rigged law and rin-
ged justice. By any fair stand-
ard uf what is constitutional,
the federal Voting Rights Act
is unconstitutional on its face.
No one should expect that the
Supreme Court, which regu-
larly amends the Constitution
by its high-funded decrees,
will acknowledge that the new
voter law is in violation of
the U. S. Constitution. But
times change and the mood of
the citizenry alters, and a
! The taxpayer's money never
leaves his control; It never is
sent to Washington and then
only partially sent back. Thus,
there are no federal strings
attached; no control strings,
and no strings that can tangle
in the constitutional briar
patch surrounding private-and
religious-backed schools.

fessor, and 1 have for years

come tax credit for education
expenses on all leveJs--col-
In view of all this, we think that the un-
qualified support some peuple are now giving
to the Administration's present policy in Viet
Nam is every bit as foolish and dangerous
as ’he criticisms by those who would have
us pull out our forces. It .imply doesn’t make
sense, if rhe aim really is to help the people
of South Viet Nam, that we should ourselves
add to their country’s devastation and leave
the enemy a sanctuary in his home territory
That *.anctuary we allow in the North con-
tain- Soviet-built missile site- and probably a
sizable number of Soviet personnel, including
their guerrilla warfare expert, Ambassador
General Shcherbakov. It contains untold tons
of war supplies, brought into Haiphong un-
der the watchful eyes of our warships and
planes which were forbidden, by Washington,
to do anything about it.
Because of its shape on the map. that
untouchable area in North Viet Nam is re-
ferred to by the boys in the Pentagon as the
"dumbbell” sanctuary. We expect our MEN
who must fight in Viet Nam have an even
better reason for calling it that

serve the diversity and flexi-
bility of the American school-
ing system, a diversity of vital
importance in maintenance of
the freedoms so cherished in
our national life.
Without this diversity in
education we can expect only

tion in which a federal bureau-

The Alvin Sus
At a time when other notables are be-
moaning the “lack" of funds, particularly
taxpayer fund-., f r higher education, former
iecrerary t -*tate Dean Acheson has raised
some penetrating questions a-- to the value
received for the billion: * dollars already
spent t r that purpose Commenting on the
performance of both professors and students
at recent campus rallies calling for U. S.
withdrawal ’rom Viet Nam. Mr. Acheson said:
"The Washington (D. C.) teach-in disclosed
illiterates in the simplest form of dialectics."
He expressed the view that faculties and stu-
dent alike suffer from a "killing frost in
the form of subzero ignorance of the rudi-
ment of argument.”
We think that the "rudiments of argument”
to which the former Secretary of State re-
ferred would be such ordinary things as fact
and logic. And we certainly agree that those
were almost completely ignored in such as
we’ve seen of the •>-called teach-ins At the
same time, we’re inclined to think that this
Thinking up descriptive names for each ses-
sion of the US Congres has become a tra-
ditional pasttime for obervers in and around
our nation’s capitol. Understandably, the labels
suggested are often as revealing of the ob-
server’s blase.-, as they are of the real
character of that legislative body So, for pre-
cisely the same reason that President Johnson
has ca'!«*d it the "greatest of them all,” others
have been referring to the present assembly of
the Federal legislature as the "Rubber-Stamp
Congress ” There are even those who have
«igg sted that considerable economy tn gov-
ernment per at ions could be achieved if some
members just stayed in their homes back in
the district and sent their signatures to the
White House.
Certainly anyone who still believes, as we
do, in the old-fashioned notion that the legis-
lative Branch is supposed to serve as a balance
unto the legitimate powers of the Executive
Branch and a check against its overzealous-
ness. would not agree at all with Mr. John-
son that this Congress is in any sense "great.”

problem of highly-educated simpletons floating
around the college campuses today may stem
in part from some flaws in elementary and high
school education. For unless some mental dis-
discipline--that is, the ability to distinguish
fact from generality, and to consider facts
logically, instead of emotionally—unlessthoke
abilities are acquired before leaving high
school, a student is ill-prepared to cope with
the welter of diverse ideas to which he properly
should be exposed when he goes to college.
We also note a recent magazine article
contended that of the thousands of 18-year-
olds entering college each year many “have
no notion of why they are tn college or what
they hope to learn." We’re all for everyone
getting as much education as they can ab-
sorb and use. But unless a student has some
purpose in college more than just getting
a diploma, plus enough emotional and intel-
lectual maturity to withstand the diversionary
temptations of modern campuses, he’s all toe
likely to end up like the “teach-in” partici-
pants--over schooled and undereducated

few year' from now--or a
decade hence--the public may
become incensed at the voter
law and demand its removal
from the books. Under these
circumstances, the citizens
of a future time should have
rhe benefit of the opinions of
critics of the law today. They
should know that the law was
condemned by the constitu-
tionalists Ln the year in which
it was enacted.
In the meantime, the six af-
fected states must live with
the law as it is applied. That
it will impose staggering dif-
ficulties for good government
is the understatement of the
year. While there is some
argument as to what it actual-
ly says, some federal officials
already are insisting that the
law bans all literacy tests. It
is likely that in these states
every effort will be made
to pack the voter rolls with
every available herded voter,
the only qualification being, it
seems, that a voter can
breathe and walk to the reg-
isiration is obvious In some
areas, it may result in a dis-
astrous situation, with local
portions of state government
reverting to the near barba-
rous conditions prevailing
during Reconstruction.
The federal Voting Rights
Act was passed in a fit of
nnliliral ft wae con-
ceived as a way of injuring
die interests of six indepen-
dent-minded states. Il was the
brainchild of administration
politics and the masters of
street demonstrations. A-
merican freedom suffered a
setback when Lyndon Johnson
affixed his name to the act
and caused it to become law.
The act must be overcome in
the ultimate court of public
opinion.

bill? Any veteran with an hon-
orable discharge who has
served more than 180 days on
active duty between January
31, 1955 (the end of the Korean
GI Bill) and July 1, 1967 (the
end of the present draft), will
be eligible for these benefits.
Second, what are the bene-
fits under this bill? For each
day of service a veteran will
receive 1 1/2 days of educa-
tional assistance, with a max-
imum of 36 months of assis-
tance to any veteran. This is
long enough for four years of
college, with nine months of
schooling each year.
This assistance will be in
the form of a monthly cash
allowance paid to the veteran,
but he must pay all of his
tuition, books, living ex-
penses, and other costs from
this money. A single veteran
with no dependents will re-
ceive 1110 a month; a veteran
who has one dependent will
receive $135 a month; and a
veteran in school with two
or more dependents will re-
ceive $160 a month.
You can sec by these limit-
ed amounts tliat this is no bo-
nus bill or boondoggle bill.
These small amounts of money
will not pay all of the costs of
education, and a veteran will
have to work or get a loan to
stay in school. But this money
would be a big help to these
five million veterans who are
trying to go to school after
they serve their military duty.
These Cold War veterans
will also be eligible for loans,
similar to those under the
World War II and Korean GI
Bills, for the purchasing of
homes or farms, Uicluuing
farm lands, livestock, and
equipment needed to start
farming operations.
A Veteran can use his edu-
cational allowance to finish
high school, to go to college,
or to take on-the-job training
on a farm, in a business, or
in a factory. By taking courses
of training and education, we
will equip these men to take
their rightful places in our
society.
The Cold War GI BUI will
give these men encourage-
ment. yet they wUl still have
to work hard to get ahead.
It is a good program for
our veterans and for our Na-
tion.
