Editorial
Atomic Common Sense
_r. sry;. r
Step, Lawrence H. Smith of Wisconsin has delivered
of the opinion that “great humanitarians and
great men of peace of our day” who urge the halting of
thermonuclear bomb tests are nothing more than “tools"
of Communist propaganda. He applied the term specifi-
cally to Dr. Albert Schweitzer, a Nobel peace prize winner
Whose recent plea for an end to hydrogen bomb tests
aroused worldwide comment.
Others besides Congressmen Smith seem to share his
belief that the wlJe-spread concern as to hydrogen bomb
tests and radioactive fallout results from a big Commu-
nist plan to halt the tests because Russia wants them
halted. They foster the conclusion that anyone who op-
pose bomb tests or suggests that we should know more
about the hazards of fallout before we go ahead with such
teste is either a fellow traveler or a dupe of shrewd Com
munis! propaganda.
This is what a professor of logic would call a non
sequiture. It simple does not follow that, since the Com-
ynunlste say they want the hydrogen bomb tests stopped,
anyone who expresses concern about the wisdom of con-
tinuing such tests Is a Communist or Communist sympa-
thizer. The fact Is that, by making such an implication,
Cotigf»*»nftn smith and like thinkers Impugn the mo-
tives of Dr. Schweitzer and a large number of this coun-
try’s most reputable scientists.
Such blanket condemnation of dissent tends to ob-
scure the real Issue. In the present case, the Issue is this:
The United States, Great Britain and Russia are all test-
ing thermonuclear weapons. It Is wise to continue with
test explosions in the ahsence of clear data as to how
much their fallout will harm future generations?
To ask that question has nothing to do with Commu
nist propaganda. It has a great deal to do with plain
common sense of the look-before-yo-leap variety.
COMMENT
hr
JMBV.MIMA?
Drugs For Victory
The American Medical Association’s decision to in-
vestigate the use of drugs to pep up athletes beyond their
normal powers will be followed with widespread public
Interest. It seems a safe guess that few Americans would
want to see the creation of so-called super-athletes at the
cost of possible drug addiction.
One would hope, certainly, that no college or high
school athletic coach would permit the use of ampheta-
mine or other such drugs to stimulate extraordinary per-
formance. -mat would negate the whole purpose of school
athletics, which is to develop strong, well-coordinated
todies and the qualities of character that emerge from
teamwork and competition. The use of stimllating drugs
by professional boxers and other athletes would be frown-
ed on almost equally.
Yet the nation’s leading medical group has ordered
a study of the matter because of reports that drugs are
being used, not only by professionals, but to some extent
by college and high school athletes. That sort of thing is
intolerable. Even before the AMA concludes its study, In-
dividual schools and communities might do well to In-
vestigate the matter locally.
Number One Tyrant
Any decentralization which is effected In Russia under
Khrushchev and his comrade conquerors of Hungary is
strietly pap unless It Is accompanied by the right of free
speech and of opposition. Russian society is undoubtedly
changing structually, and has since Stalin died. But a
disease also changes. And whether the centers be on top
or in the middle, power in Russia rests with the poliee
and the party, and free speech and the right to organize
are denied.
The cult of personality, the cult of the collective lead-
ers, hte cult of the centralized top or the dectrallzed mid-
dle, all of this does not change the facts of tyranny and
dutocracy. Nikita 8. Khrushchev remains the world’s num-
ber one tyrant.
An amendment to a bill before the North Dakota
Senate would correct the spelling of the word “accessi-
ble.” When the legislators get that matter taken care of
they could turn their attention to making illegal the use
of “Ike'’ Instead of “as" in clgaret commercials.

WASHINGTON—Sucessor failure
ot the gnat economy drive- the
back home" revolt against the
$718 billion budget-will be de-
termined in the next few weeks
Federal budget pruners ate dis-
turbed over two factors.
The first is an indirect attack
by spokesmen for “big spenders”
who claim that cuts made so far
are “phony” and will not mate-
rially reduce the budget as the
money will have to be provided
eventually.
The second threat to tha econ
omy campaign involves the time
element. The economy forces
are afraid that during the va-
cation season, which already has
started, people will lose interest
in the fight being waged in Con-
gress to cut federal spending.
They resent the charge that
they have adopted a “meat ax'
approach to budget cutting.
Members of the appropriations
committees who have devoted
many long hours to hearing
witnesses and studing the volu-
minous material presented to
them by governmental agencies
are increased over efforts being
made by some to create the im-
pression that the reductions have
not been painstakingly worked
out before final action.
Economy - minded legisltors
claim the criea being raised ga-
ainst them are instigated by
bureaucrats who have a vested
interest in big federal spending
In defense of their position,
they point to the huge carryover
of funds totaling $143 billion
which would be available to gov-
ernment agencica if all spending
requests were granted this year.
Economy leaders insist every
dollar cut from new appropriat-
ions or new spending authority
requested for fiscal 1998 will
mean savings to the taxpayers
in yeara to come*
Under normal procedure. Con-
gress will complete acton on the
budget by June 80, and of the
fiscal year. The House Appropri-
ations Committee reports that 11
regular budget Nils passed by
that body were cut 84,038,030,387
under budget requests.
Awaiting House action are bills
for mutual security — for which
$3.9 billion is sought — bills for
military construction, atomic en-
ergy, public works and supple-
mental matters. Thus, there is a
chance for further big cuts by the
House.
Meanwhile, the Senate is act-
ing on many appropriation bills
passed by the House. A big push
is being made by big spenders to
persuade the Senate to desert the
economy drive — to up the House
figures.
Economy leaders are hopeful
that the Elsenhower Administra-
tion will check what is declared
to be a normal practice — the
practice of bureaucrats to spend
heavily in June so as to exhaust
appropriations before end of the
fiscal year on June 30.
Mare —stases Coatrola-
Sharp disagreement with the
Supreme Court antitrust decision
In the General Motors-Du Pont
eaae was voiced freely, hut priv-
ately. In Congress.
One influential Senator said he
believed the decision was so bad
it may be corrected by legisla-
tion.
There were comments on the
Supreme Courts’ deciding such an
i important case by a vote of four
justices — less than a majority.
There were comments that the
four — Chief Justice Warren,
Justices Black, Douglas and Bren-
nan — had had little or no busi-
ness experience.
The dissenting opinion of Jus-
tices Burton and Frankfurter was
highly praised.
The decision. Justice Burton
said, “disregards the language
and purpose of the statute. 40
years of administrative practice *
and all precedents except one Dis-!
trict Court decision.”

CHAPTER 20
I REACHED Canon City In late
1 afternoon, toft my horse in a
livery stable, and went directly
to Ben 8awh 111’a office. He
seemed genuinely pleased to see
me.
He held out his band. “What
brings you to town, Will?’*
*T need some advice,” I said.
“Not legal advice. Just that of
a friend.” 1 added, "At least,
you’re 8arah’s friend."
“Youra too, Will.” He got his
pips out and filled It, frowning.
“I’ll give you all the advice you
want, but if it’s got anything to
do with Sarah It won’t be worth
• hoot You know I asked her to
marry me at Christmas and she
turned me down. But I'll always
bt In love with her. Like the
faithful dog who gets kicked off
the porch.”
I waited until he had his pipe
going, then 1 said. “Let’s get sup-
per at the hotel. Ben.”
“Suite me.” he said. “1 didn’t
get out tor dinner. Tvs got a
case coming up tomorrow and
I’ve had my nose in lawbooks
all day.”
We turned down the stairs and
“Will. If you get Into a shooting
scrape trying to keep tha colon-
ists off Box P rang*, you can
make an outlaw out of yourself
mighty fast. Thought about
that?’’
“Ben, have you any Influance
with the sheriff 7”
“A little, I guess. Why?”
“We need a law man In the
valley. I sure don’t want It to be
one of the settlers, so I figured
you might talk the sheriff into
appointing me.”
“You're thinking off the top of
your head,” Sawhill said. “1 can
get the sheriff to give you the
star, but you'd better be darned
sure you want it. Are you?”
“Well, 1 thought 1 was.”
“Take a good look Brat,** he
said. “You had no legal right to
put that No Trespassing sign
where it is. If soma of Mathers’
bunch settle on what you claim
is Box P range, the low la on
their aide. If you attack them,
you’re breaking the tow. On the
other hand. If you go back toting
a star you're obligated to take
the settlers’ side if they settle
on vour range. "
Mathers may be honest hi what
he’s trying to do. On the ether
hand, you’re right In saying be’H
bring misery to n lot of people.
Now then." Sawhill put a iaai
on my shoulder. “Don’t get car-
ried away by your beliefs. Will.
Are yon willing to risk going to
jail to save tha Box P?”
“I’ve backed up aa far aa I
can." 1 said. "And there’s the
chance that Mathers wUl heap
his word.’’
Sawhill dropped hla hand. “You
know better.”
We stopped In front of the
hotel Ben said. ’’I’ve got to gat
back to my case." Ha held out
his hand. “All I’ve got to say to,
I’m glad you’re sodding the 8

When I asi.ed him if he’d heard

"No. Just that there was some

I stalled in. back early tn the

when Sarah had given me half
the ranch and told me she was
the senior partner. Tha waitress
brought oyster soup, and 1 went
an talking. Ben listened while he
ate. When the girl brought our
ateaks and side dishes, my soup
had not been touched.
Sawhill picked up his fork and
looked at me. "That tha story ?“
“That’s tt,” I said, and began
to eat.

I can understand Sarah's feelings
about John Mathers.* He comes
from a different world. Like she
said, he stands Tor culture and

“She says ahe'll never marry
