Pace 2 THE CUERO RECORD Mon May 31, 1071
Editorial—
iTsaps
The recent abortive effort of students and professio-
nal protesters in the national capital was well handled by
JVjashinRton law enforcement officers. It Is now at last
dear that the overwhelm!,h!j majority of Americans Is
‘.red of the asinine spectacle of school children (plus a
few Communist agitators) trying to run the nation with
mob tactics.
But what continues to disappoint every thinking
American i< the utterly stupid performance of so many
radio and television newsmen. Once again, during the
recent Washington fiasco, these newsmen crowded a-
round self-righteous students and other children try-
ing to tell the nation how it should function, and how
to formulate Its foreign policy—in the streets. They pro-
vided air time for these juvenile views continuously
throughout the day.
When will such suckered reporters finally realize
that the self-righteous pronouncements of youngsters
such as Rennie Davis arc of no special significance? If
children knew best how to run the government they
would have been doing so In many countries for hun-
dreds of years. Too many television and radio news
hawks can't finally grasp this fact. And the nation Is
also waiting, painfully, for their enlightenment that
every demonstration is not big news.
Ahoy, Puffers!
Happy cigarette puffers are faced with another
bleak turn. From Washington comes the report that ex-
cessive cigarette smoking ran interfere with the sexual
performance of men.
Apparent confirmation of the findings of Dr. E.
Lovell Becker comes from Paris, where two doctors hav* [
reported that more puffers than non-puffers suffer de-
creased sexuality. Hungarian doctors have also cla'med ;
heavy smoking decreases the production of male sperm. ,
And so? Manufacturers heretofore have pictured i
puffing as romantic, manly, etc. But in light of these new
facts, what is a man’s wife or cute thing, to do today,
when he lights up and looks her In the eye with that
glamor (unknowing) look of a commercial model?
One wonders. Puffer* beware!
Political Comics
One of the undesirable trends in the United States
today Is the brainwashing the comic industry is Inflict-
ing on Amreican children. The New York Times Maga-
zine recently reproduced an anti-military comic cover
on Its front page showing two American soldiers slaugh-
tering five helpless civilians lined against a wall !
The article featured in the magazine, by Saul
Braun, portrayed the Injection of political propaganda
Into comics as good; it created the impression that to-
day's children are demanding political-message comics,
a highly doubtful conclusion at best.
The average American parent doesn’t wish to en- j
trust the political and social education of his or her
children, even in part, to a group of New York publishers
printing either subtle or open propaganda In their
comic books.

A scientist recently told a
Congremonat « u b committee
that within a year a scientist
would succeed in bringing about
test-tube conception of a baby,
which will be implanted with-
in a woman who would then
bear the child. Later, addition-
al scientific "progress" would
enable an incubator to take the
place of the woman.
Stop the world and let me off.
Who is going to determine the
characteristics of the embryos
of the test-tube incubator ba-
bies'’ There are no Adolph Hit-
lers around to do it. Of course,
any Communist leader would
like to have the job. Would a
Congressional Committee do it?
Or maybe a Committee of ex-
perts like Mary Calderone, Zsa
Zsa Gabor. Teddy Kennedy and
Liz Taylor? Or a computer
maybe? Or, Heaven forbid, the
Woman's Lib (or Lest organi-
zation?
The kind of Virgin Birth I be-
lieve in has no connection with
comptuer or Zsa Zsa Gabor.
The Declaration of Indepen-
dence says "all men are en-
drxwned to their Creator . .
Will "creator" soon he chang-
ed to computer?

One of the minor (and unimportant) mysteries of
life-concerns-the late shows of commercial television.
The oldest and reportedly most viewed—the Johnny
Carson Show—began the trend.
Johnny adopted I he practice of waiting for an Int ro-
duction before appearing, then mugging and jigging a-
bout to ridiculously wild and prolonged applause.
What everyone is so wildly applauding is a mystery.
What Johnny’s jig is about, and his nightly golf swing,

According to "U.S. News and
World Report,” a top State De-
partment official says: "By far
the greatest disappointment to
Richard Nixon in his first two
years in office haA been the in-
ability to ‘get through’ to the
leaders of Soviet Russia that
he really wants amicable re-
lations with them.”
It’s easy. Ail he has to do
is surrender.
Ecology note: A well-kept
acre of trees produces more
than four tons of oxygen a year.
A million and a half acres of
forest supply enough oxygen for
20 million people.
Only God can make a tree.
But we can all help.

Forced integration is mainly
responsible for the continuing
destruction of our public school
system. To save the public
schools — not that I am parti-

— the following will be neces-

1. Separate the schools into
white and black, each system
to be run by its own group.
2. Allow freedom-of-choice for

A cate of Women’s Lib was hurting her cause, as usual,
by screaming threats and misquoting her betters in a speech
at the noon hour in Wall
Street, and climaxed her
peroration by crying
"Free women! Free wom-
en!" An ecstatic broker
in the crowd cried back,
"Terrific idea! DO YOU

‘‘We've got a new mail
sorter on the job who’s the
fastest and most efficient
I ever did see,” boasted
Postmaster Smathers to
the head of the Town Coun-
cil. "Come in and watch
that fellow work.”
Sure enough, when the .
two approached the new hand, he was sorting letters and card*
at a prodigious clip, even, by way of variety, tossing them into
slots over his left shoulder, or underhand from between his legs.
"Amazing.” applauded the Council man. "I’ve never seen such
speed in all my life." The new sorter beamed his appreciation,
then promised, "I'll go even faster when I’ve learned to read.

informed masses. I fear and
distrust the eggheads. Better to
be uninformed than misinform-
ed. The eggheads think the a-
verage person hasn’t got sense
enough to plan and live his life.
So the egghead plans it for him.
But the average person really
knows more about living than
the egghead. And his decisions
are usually better. To be learn-
ed is not necessarily to be wise.
Haye you ever noticed the polls
in which answers are given ac-
cording to educational levels?
Almost invariably, the most in-
telligent answers are given hy
those who never went to college.
Proving that innate, basic rea-
soning is better than brainwash-
ed answers. A college degree is
the most overrated thing since
Jackie Kennedy.

President Nixon’s integrity is
dramatized in these two state-
ments: In December he said,
“I should emphasize that divi-
sions in this country are never
going to end. There is always
going to be a generation gap.”
And then, in January, he add-
ed, "These are just a few of
ing a Senate bill for govern-
ment payments to victims of
violent crime. Good idea. And
the money should be taken, not
from the taxpayer, hut from
the members of the Supreme
Court, the Senate and the
House, all of which bodies have
passed legislation which fosters
crime.
