Editorial—
IV And Candidates
Governor Nelson Rockefeller recently accepted the
i:‘.\ .rutin ; of a television station in New York to meet,
throe opponents in the gubernatorial race in that state
. .a; hour-long debate.
T .'.- "brines to mind the now-famous televised de-
b, v. John Kennedy and Richard Nixon, which
• i iv - including Pierre Salinger in tels new book •
•.hr election for the late Democratic President.
Richard Nixon is fast becoming the odds-onj
4 • n the Republican Presidential nomination)
- p . . ''n.' Rockefeller move also brings to mind the!
. ; o! debates between Nixon and the Democratic
r . .; - 3 - pn-umably President Lyndon Johnson. If
• , -e " o c man who has a right to challenge the Pre-
PR- -o 4devised debates, it is Nixon.
In 1050 Nixon was the man with most to lose in ac-
r-pt:.n; debates with Kennedy and it is to his credit that
■l e did not dodge them, even against,a glamorous, young
candidate like Kennedy. In 1968 it would be President
Johnson who, as a high office holder, would have the
most to iose.. Johnson has shown less enthusiasm for
Id.e TV appearances than Kennedy. Insiders think he
would refuse to accept a Nixon challenge for live de-
bate s.
Yet if he docs, this will probably count for the form-
er Vice President and it would be ironical if the question
of televised debates, fatal to Nixon in 1960. were to turn
into an asset for him in 1968.

Federal Force
The federal government in recent years has beer,
voted tremendous power to interfere in the live.-' of indi-
viduals by a Congress seeking to solve racial tensions
end nroblems.
One power of civil servicp officials In. Washington
is to decide which schools, hospitals, etc. receive federal-
f. ids to operate on — on the basis of whether they are
ccmdying with federal laws.
Such a situation is certain to cause criticism and
resentment, for we in America', in various states, tradi-
tionally resent officials in Washington deciding on ques-
tions as personal a- school and hospital matters in our
community
It may be that there is no perfect solution to en-
forcement of thp laws but when a Senate Leader nor-
“FALSE, VULGAR .
tress Hedy Lamarr gives the
camera a look In the court-
house corridor in Hollywood,
where she and her attorney
went to ask for an injunction
against publication of her
ghostwritten autobiography,
“Ecstasy and Me.” She says
the book is “false, vulgar
and scandalous." The writer
worked from tape-recorded
interviews with her.

Post covers, writing in their dairies at 2 a.m,

coming-out season . . . and T almost don’t
have the heart to tell them that their species,
the New York debutante, is passe.
Oh, there'll be deb balls this winter and
parties by the dozen, with the usual aging
juvenile men the hallroom boys- making up
the stag line, and some tycoon wilt spend
$50,000 to Introduce -HIr Little Girl to Society.
But the deb. as such, is beginning to become *
curiosity. She belongs to—as Hecht and Mac-
Arthur once referred to Chicago’s raffish newspapermen—a last
1 fantastic herd of dying bravos. j

last year it was a far-out named Edie Eedgewlrk who makes

Nobody really has any idea who will he the outstanding deb-
utante of 1966-1967 and the morose truth is, nobody cares. Th*

something incongruous in point of time with its surrounding*.

post-deb the other day recalled as “absolutely horrible” young
men—“thirty-year-old bachelors and a lot of little creatures ”

Wha' we need mv-t of all n*/w
Mark Hollman swung the door
open, a lamp in his hand, and
froze his face twisted tn norror
at the scene.
"It s mm," I told him through
my spent curtain of emotion.
This is the guy who's been
trying to kit) me!"
‘Turk, you re a fool!” Mark
Hollman s voice was low. “I
thought you'd changed, but
you're still a kill-crazy fool!"
My breathing stopped, and
the red curtain of anger that
had blanketed my brain for a
few moments seemed to hang
for an Instant, then melt away.
On the floor at my feet Him-
mler, the bookkeeper, stirred
muttering something as he tried
to sit up. Mark Hollman stared
at me with open revulsion, his
face twisted Into a mask of dis-
like in the lamplight Behind
him I could see Malta's fright-
ened face. Hollman turned to
her.
“Get some water and towels
Hurry up!” j
He came into the room, set-
ting the lamp on the table be-
side the other one, and bent to
grab Himmler beneath the
shoulders, not looking at me.
"Help me get him in a chair,”
he growled. "Show you’re good
for something besides trying to
kill people!"
"But he tried to kill me!" I
shouted at him. "He almost shot
your daughter!’’
■'Shirt up and help me!” he
ordered.
i grabbed one of the man s
arms and helped push him into
the chair beside the desk. Malia
came into the room and put a
bowl on the table, laying a
folded clc4h beside it She looked
at me with a scowl, and then at
Mark. She was about to speak
as her father turned on her
I felt naked, stripped.
“My glasses,' the man whined,
pain riding the words. "Are
they broken?"
Dumbly 1 walked to the cor-
ner where they had fallen and
picked them up, banding them
to Mark. He looked at them in
the fllckeruig light, then pushed
them into Himmler’s hand. Still
not opening his eyes, the book-
keeper put them on, carefully
adjusting the earpieces. When
he looked through the heavy
lenses, his eyes were on my face.
His eyes were narrowed to
hate-filled slits.
"Remind me not to clean any
more rifles. Mister Hollman,”
he said thinly. "At least, not
while this mailman is In the
vicinity."
"But someone took a shot at
us Three of them I ” 1 dug Into
my shirt pocket and extended
my hand so both of them could
see the empty shell casings I
had picked up on the volcano.
"When 1 waiked in on him he
was standing there with the
carbine. What else could I
think?"
• • •
IIOLLMAN said nothing star-
1 * ing at me with a flat, dull
look in his eyes.
"But why would 1 want to
kill you?” the bookkeeper asked,
lisping the words over his tom
lips. I looked down at him. The
sickness I had felt during the
fight was a neavy, s o d d e n
weight of shame resting tn my
stomach.
“Someone tried to kill me Just
before I left Texas " ! told him
slowly. "It s been tned since.”
“That doesn't explain why l
should try," the man Insisted
quietly. "Why ?”
I shook my head, looking
away. “I don't know," I told
“You don't owe him any ex-

•"You didn’t try to kill him.
That s enough for him to know.” I
Himmler Ignored him as
though he hadn't heard. His
eyes were still on me, as he
went on! "I was an Army pay- j

day, my accounts were short, I j
thought 1 could cover It, and I j
was wrong.
“I told Mister Hollman about |

The story was told with 8 ;

sound like an often - repeated j
formal confession. 1 looked j
away, shaking my head.
■’Sorry,” I mumbled. T owe I
you an apology."
"That ain’t going to help him
heal any sooner," Hollman
charged
"Apology ac-epted,” the book-
keeper said softly. "Tn your spot,
1 might have done the same
thing."
Hollman turned to me. "It

be this could’ve been avoided,”
he said. 1 start**, to interrupt,
