i axiom:
of Michael Foot as leader of
the British Labor Party.
His election fits, a scenario written by Labor’s
most radical faction to gain permanent control of
the party machinery.
Now he will preside as a caretaker at a meeting
in January when the Marxist labor union chiefs
will attempt to obtain a dominant voice in the
selection of party leaders, hitherto a function of
Labor’s more moderate parliamentary delega-
tion.
This lurch to the left - a form of political
suicide — may be compared to the lemmings’
perennial migration to extinction on the North
Sea.
For a broadly based Labor Party, dominated by
its moderate wing, might have a golden op-
portunity to regain power in the parliamentary
elections of 1984 if Conservative political fortunes
do not mend. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher
is force-feeding Britain a bitter dose of austerity
in an effort to cure the nation’s chronic inflation ,
These ills are an unwanted inheritance from
years of Labor misrule, the nationalization of
basic industries, and limitless deficit spending on' '
Social programs. ' *
Thatcher’s tough prescriptions have cost two j
million unemployed, a 15 percent interest prime I
„ rate, and business stagnation. She is making "
headway - the money supply is shrinking and in-
flation is declining - but at the expense of
popularity with the voters. - '
The Labor Party, by its abrupt left turn, is
abandoning the .opportunity to make inroads
against the Conservatives with a broad appeal to
the nation. Its continued drift toward Marxism Is
Thatcher's- best hope of retaining power long
enough to make her medicine work.

ministration.
Although an unswerving supporter of the top
man on the Republican ticket, Bush has given
notice that he is also his own man. »
In emphasizing that the president-elect group,
such as the controversial Moral Majority, Bush
declared stoutly that he would not be intimidated
by warnings from some of the more extreme
organizations that he hew the line — “hell with
them!’
Acknowledging differences with the Reagan
position on abortion, the Equal Rights Amend-
ment and school prayer, Bush stated that he
never made any secret of his views and will not be
influenced by threats of political retaliation.
But he defended the right of those religious
groups concerned with strength of family and
patriotism to defend and advance their views.
And he noted that “nobody got all excited”, about
political activities on “the more liberal side” of
the spectrum.
Bush projected, an image of firmness and
fairness in his pursuit of the presidency! The
qualities will serve him — and the entire Reagan
team - well during the next four years.

Federal Bureaucracy May
Defy Another President
, By ROBERT WALTERS
WASHINGTON (NEA) - Once again
a new president-elect is headed for the
White House with a high-priority com-
mittment to slash the size of the federal
bureaucracy — and once again his
chances of success range from‘slim to
none.
That’s because shrewd entrenched
bureaucrats long ago figured out how to
deflect, indefinitely postpone or simply
ignore the well-intentioned but political-
ly naive economy campaigns mounted
the ,Justice Department proposing that
its required reductions be made by
Slashing the number of guards at
maximum-security penitentiaries or the
Interior Department threatening^ to
board up the Lincoln Memorial.
The possibilities are endless. Nobody,
of course, ever suggests aholishing the
Paper Shuffling Section or the Division
of Bureaucratic Perpetuation.

® FAMILY FEUD
By JACK ANDERSON
WASHINGTON - Forty fathoms deep
in the Atlantic Octen, former.President
Richard Nixon recently discoursed a
length on' world affairs and national
policy. His hosts were Adm. Hyman
Rickover and the crew of the nuclear
submarine Cincinnati.
A participant in the extraordinary .
undersea dinner on Nov. 14 has given met
a detailed summary of the conversation.
Nixon had some newsworthy things to
say to his undersea audience. Here are
the highlights:
Poland to help the Polish unions’ fight
for autonomy.
- The draft should be reinstituted —
but carefully. Open support of the draft
would be politically unwise. Instead,
Nixon suggested setting up .a blue-ribbon
manpower study that would logically
recommend the draft. The president.
could then approve the results of the
blue-ribbon panel.
■-* There is significant waste in the
Department of Defense. The solution is
to de-civjlianize the military establish-
ment. ’
certainly can’t be more of a dismal
failure than the previous efforts that
generally fell into two categories:
- The WJiite House identified specific
agencies, boards or commissions whose
functions were deemed to be irrelevant,
superflous or of marginal utility, then
called for abolition of the unnecessary
function — and sometimes the entire
agency.
— The White House proposed an
across-the-board reduction in funding or
personnel, with the heads of each,
government department and agency
responsible for deciding which pro-
grams or units under their supervision
were to be affected.
THE FIRST APPROACH has been
regularly thwarted through lobbying ef-
forts mounted by bureaucrats who lined
- - . up an imposing array of political allies. . -

abolished, but Congress has authorized
establishment of a new agency to take
jurisdiction over some of the FDA’s old
functions. The new agency, however,
may begin only five new programs each,
year. Which programs should be picked
up immediately, which can be delayed
for several years and which are least im-
portant,? *
Participating in the project were con-
sumer organizations, trade associations,
professional groups, state officials and
the FDA’s field officers. More than 400
questionnaires ranking the 29 programs
offered were returned.
The survey was more than a populari-
ty contest because it directly involved ,
the FDA’s constituents - as well as its
employees - in assigning priorities to
the agency's work.
characteristics of the people and the.
ideology of their government. For exam-
ple, Nixon said, the people of communist
countries are generally friendly toward
the United States despite the opposing
ideologies of our governments. We
should maintain relations with the com-
munists to keep the lines of people-to-
people communication open.
Trade relations with unfriendly na-
tions are important. With its superior
economic strength, the United States
can gain political advantage by
threatening to withdraw' econOTffRTCOfF
cessions.

- Nixon opposed televising congres-
sional hearings. Some meetings, he said.
should.be held “behind closed doors.”
Footnote: Nixon also told the sub-
mariners that whenever he saijed on sur-
face ships during his Navy’ hitch in
World War II, he always got seasick. He
liked it better underseas, where it isn’t
so rough. - \

— The Soviet Union has made signifi-*
cant progress in human rights,-Nixon
proclaimed. As an example, he noted
that Stalin executed his opponents, while
Leonid Brezhnev let his predecessor,
Nikita Khrushchev, live. Nixon com-
pared the Soviets’ progress in human
rights favorable to that of Great Britain
in the 18th century.

Some months ago, Turner called in a

they called the “Apex System,” which
was really just a new twist on something
