George Washington was bet-

come out ahead when his fa-

a racer owned by Thomas Jef-

trading the stallion to Gen.

acres of Kentucky land.

who is naming for the Senate
seat of retiring Sen. Maurino
Neuberger.
Faced with this formidable
Democratic - Republican alli-
ance, the Johnson Administra-
tion persuaded Rep. Robert Dun-
ean of Medford, Ore., to run for
governor. But since Duncan is
something of a sacrificial candi-
date, the White House let it be
konwn that he will get a U.S.
judgeship if And when defeated.
"We have the alternative of
fighting the Communists in the |—|
elephant grass of Viet Nam or
in the rye grass on the banks
of the Columbia River,” said
Congressman Duncan.
"It’s one of the most war-
hawk announcements I have
heard,” proclaimed Morse, pro-
mising to campaign up and
down the state of Oregon
against his fellow Democrat.
Morse has also sent word to
the White House that he’ll in-
sist that the federal judgeship
be filled now; that he will give
the President only time enough
to select a competent candidate.
If the President waits, Duncan
can expect vigorous Senate op-
postton to both his appointment
and confirmation.

to treat it with a measure of
caution. This business of for-
' ig one seventy times
, for instance, or return-
ing good for evil or heaping
our enemy’s head with
prayers—all of this can be
read in church but not treated
seriously. Yet let someone
print a statement which
doubts toe loyalty of a group
or of some meal or national
leader and there are always
numbers of otherwise intelli-
gent and competent citizens
who are ready to accept it as
“Gospel troth.**
As Mr. Harris in^cates:
“Our values have been turned
.. We seem to re-1
the truth only when it
is not important and to en-
courage the imagination only
when it Is dangerous to do
so.” It is as true that we use
religion to answer scientific
questions and try to use sci-
ence to answer religious ques-
tions. .
The ancient question:
“What is truth?** is as imper-
ative in our day as it was
when Pilate was confronted
by Jesus. It ought not to be
relegated to the large philo-
sophical areas; Bls ro real for
our dinner conversations and

friendly overture, no attempt at
recognition, no offer of a seat
in the United Nations will cause
them to moderate their hostil-
ity.”
While there was no unanimity
the majority of the experts tes-
tifying before the House Far
Eastern Subcommittee believed
the slumbering giant of Asia
would not be a threat to the
United States unless we came
to close to her borders.

during if they’re in for another
round of inflation. Or, as most
probably would phrase it, if to-
morrow pay check will buy
even less than today's.
As government officials and
businessmen debate the com-
plex problem of inflation and
what to do about it, here are
some simplified answers to the
questions many people are ask-
ing today':
What Is lit
Q—What la inflation?
A—To most people inflation
is a persistent and substantial
Increase in the general level of
prices. But many economists
call this the end product of in-
flation, not inflation itself. They
define inflation as the result of
monetary policy: "too many
dollars chasing too few goods.”
Q—Do we have "too many
dollars” today?
A—Bankers cite the unusual
rise in the supply of money and
credit since last summer and
say that tills has given business-
men and consumers the where-
withal to bid up prices of goods.
Government officials contend
the money increase was needed
to feed the economic growth
which cut the jobless rate to
3.7 per cent for the first time
in nine years.
Price Increases
Q—How do you tell inflation
from the price increases we’ve
been having right along?
A—By how much and how
fast prices rise. The cost, of
living for several years rose at
about 1.2 per cent a year and

litical questions of high im-
portance, but when he is con-
versing lightly, he doggedly
sticks to the dull, literal,
plain-as-your-nose truth. . . «
Our imagination leaps uncon-

sinks into the bog of humor-

The problem is an ancient
one. In Jesus’ day there were
thooe citizens who accused

the Pentagon and his discus-
sions with Congress.
A series of Chinese experts
testifying before tbe Far East-
ern subcommittee of the House
Foregin Affairs Committee were
not so worried. Their conclu-
sion was that China was no
threat to the United States as
long as we did not encroach
on her territory. Most of the
experts doubted that China
would even threaten the neigh-
boring Asian nations around
[ her, .... <
Hare are some of the quotes
from the distinguished profes-
sors testifying before Rep. Cle-
ment Zablocki of Milwaukee,
chairman of the House Foreign
Relations subcommittee:
Gen. Samuel B. Griffith, U.S.
h Marine Corps, retired: “She
poses no mllltay threat to the
United States ... I don’t think
the Chinese are going to con-
ventionally take over, say, Thai-
land. They have enough trouble
at home without having about
40 million Thai on their hands.
... I do not believe China will
commit conventional formations
to South Viet Nam.”
Dr. Howard L. Boorman, Co-
lumbia University: “I don’t feel
the Chinese have any intention
of occupying and administering
’• extensive areas of Asia under
present condltoins ... If I were
forced to offer an amateur
estimate of the range of Amer-
ica’s strategic interests, Viet
Nam is about the last place I
would select.”
Dr. Ralph L. Powell, profes-
sor of Far Eastern studies at
American University: “By 1970
Peiping will have developed the
hydrogen bomb. By 1975 Com- .
munist China may have an ini- can we do about it?”
tial deployment of ICBMS cap-
able of striking the United
States.”
As to whether China would
use these weapons against the
United States, Dr. Powell said:
“In the Korean War they (the
Chinese) massively intervened
when U.S. and U.N. troops ap-
proached their Manchurian fron-
ts tiers ... U tbe United States
were to overthrow the Comma-
H nist regime In North Viet Nam
B and especially if U.S. armed
B forces were to approach the
B southern borders of Communist
B China, I would expect the Chi- uv„<>
B nese to react violently ... We The NATB also reports that

B maybe if we crash the gates,
B We will get the same reaction
B we got when we crashed Into
