Faster weekend some lfi.ObO Ixsat-
nik t y i e students demonstrated in
Washington passim; out copies
,if the "Younti Socialist" and oth-
(or extreme left literature. Inelud-
¡ rd were the regular "civil rights"
demonstrators, pacifist and com-
munist fronters. None of the East-
ern n e \\ s p a p e r s editoi ialists
seemed to be much disturbe ! that
a radical extreme left «roup eould
assemble 16,000 students for such
a demonstration If a conserva-
tive l:ioup had put on a com-
parable demonstration, the fed-
eral attorney nene ra I would likely
have reassembled his army of
marshals, with tear «as guns and
turned them loose on the [veople,
and the controlled newspapers
would be editorializing for weeks
about the dangers of conservative
groups demonstrating.
Student Contrast While the stu-
dent beatniks and bums from
¡schools and colleges of the east
and northeast were doing their
demonstrations in Washington, de-
rent boys aivl girls from high
schools and colleges were man-
ning the dikes along the floods
Mississippi, showing almost un-
believable strength and stamina
in working to reluce and avert

Poverty War Cost A multiplic-
ity of anti |hiverty an ! related pro-
grams have cost the taxpayers
1 many billions of dollars during
last few years In fiscal
alone, Sl"> billion was appro-
priated for 11 fe |eral poverty pro-
grams There is no tangible evi-
dence that poverty >r illiteracy
has been reduced A Compression

propriation of more tax dollars
Cigarette Taxes New York has
' just increased its various taxes
in cigarettes tn 23 cents per pack
This sort of action is more apt to
eliminate smoking than is the
cancer menace. At any rate, ma-
ny states and eltios are finding
toltaceo a handy item for new
taxes.
A New Nation? A developer is j
making fills on a sunken reef out- !
side the three mile limit off Flor- I

a soveivign nation. A fe<feral
