Editorial—
Ike's Point
Former President Dwight Eisenhower caused a stir,
in Washington recently when he suggested Congress!
consider declaring war on North Vietnam. Most of the,
reaction on Capitol Hill, Including much from Republi-
cans, was negative.
Elsenhower says the United States can’t win "a war
of gradualism,” and that we’re now In what amounts
to a war, with 450,000 U. 8. troops in Vietnam. With
today's heavy fatalities and the expetation that many
more Americans will be asked to give their lives, Eisen-
hower believes it's time to constder winning the war-
our first priority.
"When you must use force to support a national
aim, for example in the defense of another country’s]
freedom, there Is no higher authority to which you can j
appeal. Therefore, you must win. To do that you need
all the power you have and you must yes It quickly;
and secretly so as to achieve surprise.”
The former President believes the mistake in our
Vietnam policy was to send in U. S. troops, which form-
er President Kennedy did in 1962—15,000 of them. "When
President Kennedy came in we had 735 advisors in j
Vietnam—and the situation didn’t look bad. After we
sent 15.000 troops over there the character of the war
changed,” he recalls.
Eisenhower's position (as reported by this news-
paper’s Washington office) is becoming more critical
of Administration policy on Vietnam, and he is said
to feel General William Westmoreland should be more
solidly supported by the White House. His criticisms]
are certain to have an effect on public opinion and t
major political Implications.

lowered costs.
Druggists balked. In a stormy meeting they op-
posed the directive and said they should fill prescrip-
tions as doctors wrote them. City authorities say brand-
name drugs are costing two or three times what generic
prescriptions cost—the same drugs.
Naturally, druggists like to make the larger profits.
And. conceivably there are some drug stores which would
encounter economic difficulties if their profits from
brand-name drugs are reduced.
No one would propose to seriously harm the tradi-
tional corner drug store and one of the compromise
solutions suggested in the New York dispute includes
a fee to be paid druggists filling generic prescriptions.
On the other hand, a fair price and the welfare
of the American consumer, the average American citizen,
must be the number one consideration in the problem.
In the New York dispute, for example, it was re-
vealed that a brand name drug can cost ten times its
generic counterpart. One druggist said he bought generic
reserpine for *2.50 per thousand tablets while the brand-
name equivalent cost $38. (American visitors in foreign
countries have often been surprised to find drugs which
*re highly expensive In the United States very Inex-
pensive there.)
Just as high medical charges and costs helped
bring about medicare, excessively-high drug prices
tf not curbed, are certain to bring about drug profit
limitations.

domination.as a matter of es-!
sential faith
The American ideal is the
search for truth, the develop-
ment of logic and reason on the
only escape from error. T h e
whole idea of education, Arne-,
riran style, is to develop a cap-!
acity for self-determination and ]
self-reliance, rejecting dogmat-
ic acceptance of any compul-
sory submission to force or er-
ror.
Thus the contest is truly a
struggle for the minds of men
and it starts right in the
schools where the minds and
the capability for judgement are
being developed. This is w h y
the question of textbooks is of
paramount importance.
Have you looked at the mat-
erial your youngsters are re-
quired (o study these days?
You should, and when you do
you are very apt to be shaken
and shocked.
Recently a new textbook was
offered in California and else-
where titled "Land of the Free."
The title sounds fine, but the
text is something else again.
It has been described as "an in-
terpretative history of the
United States designed to indoc-
trinate eighth graders with the
religious dogma of the Welfare
State."
Directed away from historic
1 fact, the book is directed into
promotion <>f governmental bur-
eaucracy as the giver of all
things. With little or no diffi-
culty, an appropriation of SL-
OSH,397 California tax dollars
was obtained for the purchase
of this textbook.
Opposition developed, howev-
er, and the funds were held up
for what was called "further
discussion.” The California As-
sembly Ways and Means Com-
mittee approved the expenditure
by a 7 to 5 vote, so this un-
historical instrument for indoc-
trinating young minds goes on
the “best, seller” list at taxpay-
ers’ expense.
The Chairman of that As-
sembly Committee which ap-
proved the expenditure admitted
the hook contained what he call-
ed "glaring omissions," and
the members of the Curriculum
Committep which approved the
book admitted they were a-
ware of what they called "its
slant and bias.”
So we get “glaring omissions"
and "slant and bias" instead of
history for our eighth gradrrs
—in California as in every oth-
er State — where facts are se-
condary to the desire for feder-
al subsidies provided bv the
Health. Education and Welfare
Department.
That which the federal ag-
behavlor at the churchyard.

“Show me,” said Lavinia,
whipping off the ruga
But now, with everyone gath-
ered around, nothing happened.
Flora's face was sharpened to
an eerie thinness with her ef-
fort. She began to cry, her fin-
gers dug inti, her eyes.
“But it did happen. Truly it
did. I didn't imagine it.”
“Then it will happen again.”
said Daniel. He lifted her In his
arms, ready to take her up-
stairs. “Cry as much as you
like, my darling. You should
have cried days ago.”
"Papa, Great-aunt Tameson
told me I could move my toes
if I tried. She said I was Just
lazy. I wish I had been nicer to
her.”
“I think she loved you as you
were.”
• • •
Lavinia knew that to the end
of her life she would never for-
get that scene. They were sit-
ting around the table in the li-
brary, Daniel and Charlotte
Meryon, Jonathon Peate, Sir
Timothy, and Mr. Mailinson. Mr.
Mallinson raised a surprised
eyebrow when Lavinia handed
him the folded sheet of paper.
Mr. Mallinson said, slowly,
"This is an entirely new devel
opment. But this document ap-
pears to be in order.”
Charlotte said in a voice that
died away, “What—is it?”
Mr. Mailinson cleared his
throat and said ceremoniously,
"I have in my hands a docu-
ment that appears to render
null and void the will I drew up
for the deceased. This young
lady will no doubt tell us more
about the circumstances relat-
ing to It later, but In the mean-
time perhaps you would like to
know its contents.”
Sir Timothy said with relish
’The old lady's played a last
trick, has she? Can't say I’m
surprised. In my opinion she
had been corrupted by foreign-
ers. She had learned their devi-
ous ways. Well, go on, Mallin-
son, tell us what she says.”
Mr. Mallinson cleared his
throat again, pompously.
"The testatrix states that she

her great-niece Flora ‘who ap-

Mallinson frowned testily. “This

factors. I am named as executor
and trustee as in the previous
will, and it appears to be cor-
rectly signed; witnessed and
dated. So we must accept it as
legal.”
"That thing must be torn up!”
The words burst from Charlotte.
“It can't be legal. Written on a
piece of notepaper like that!”
Mr. Mallinson was rapping the
table.
“I beg your pardon, Mrs. Mer-
yon. But I must ask you to be
silent. Then perhaps Miss Hurst
will tell us how this all came
about.”

don’t know how long the idea
had been in her mind. It waa
certainly not because Flora had
been endeavoring to get into her
good graces. Indeed, I was con-
stantly scolding Flora for her
rudeness. I think she was strug-
gling against growing fond of
Lady Tameson because she
knew the old lady must die.”

It was dusk, and Lavinia did-
n’t realize Jonathon Reate was
in the garden until she heard

turned sharply, and found tier-
self tn nls arms.
She struggled fiercely, push-
ing away his hateful smiling
face with her clenched fists.
"Ah, come now. Miss Hurst-

kill you. Or would you kill me?”
"Mr. Peate, will you kindly
let me pass."
"I’ll forgive you lor your lit-

finding the responsibility of
looking after an heiress rather

"Mr. Peate—”
He caught her wrist.
•T will let you go when you
have promised to marry me.”
Lavinia stopped struggling.
She stared in complete amaze-
ment.
"You’d dare!”
“Why shouldn’t I? Are you
so unapproachable ? So pure ?
Do I have to refresh your mem-
ory, Miss Hurstmonceaux?”
Will you kindly stop calling
me by another name.”

long. Just for the season, I be-
lieve. Then your brother want-
ed — or found it necessary — to
move on. But during that time
there were quite a lot of callers.
You must have known about
the gambling session that went
on while you were getting your
beauty sleep.
"I only saw you once then
You were coming downstairs t(
go shopping. I had been sleep-
ing off the effects of your
brother’s excellent port in his
study—to the left of the stairs,
do you remember? Oh, you did-
n’t see me. But I saw you.”
His face came closer.
“And I saw you again exactly
a year later in the witness box.
You were so loyal to your broth-
er. I didn’t expect to see you
again after that. I thought you
would disappear quietly to live
your life in obscurity, and what
a catastrophe that would have
been. But fate took a hand. You
must admit the ways of fate are
very strange.
“But don't you see, you will
be compelled to marry me if
your secret is to be kept. Nat-
urally 1 would never betray my
wife.”
“Mr. Peate, you must be mad!
You are mad!”
He shook his head smilingly.
Far from it. Exceptionally
sane. And very clever at get-
ting my own way.”
Charlotte accuses Eliza of
conspiracy.

to sit down, and offered her a
glass of Madeira.
“Then what is it you wish to
discuss with me?"
It was difficult to remain
calm.
You have probably heard
that Mr. Peate has told Flora
about her fortune."
“Yes, I did hear. But fortun-
ately she has taken it the right
way. and thinks only of money
to spend for Christmas. So per-

“But I like to watch you. You

HIS SEVEREST CRITICS
By HENRY CATHCART
Central Press Washington Correspondent
W7ASHINGTON—The diplomatic corps was aghast—but not
W surprised—at Charles de Gaulle’s rude performance while
visiting French-speaking Canada. But most of these seasoned
observers were more charitable in their estimates of -the incident
than the French press, or even moat of de Gaulle’s supporters.
For one thing, despite de Gaulle’s statement
indicating he purposely voiced his called for an
independent Quebec Province, most Washing*
ton diplomats believe he was carried away by
his own mistaken interpretation of the en*
thusiasm of the crowds that turned out to wit*
ness his visit.
De Gaulle must have known that the (action

ists. Most Quebecois want, not secession, but
rather a greater voice and more recognition
in Canadian affairs from the Canadian govern*

De Gaulle’s self-insertion Into a Canadian
domestic matter is unforgivable, or as tha
Canadian government put it, unacceptable, <m
any rational basis. Certainly, It could not
serve to help French relations with Quebec, if that was de
Gaulle’s design. The fact is that, like most family fights, nothing
can unite the combatants like the interference of a foreign “ar*

The entire episode would be amusing if it were not so serloua
De Gaulle has undermined the effectiveness of French diplomacy
at a time when France ia trying to find an identifiable place la

There are many objective diplomats who believe in the principle
that France; as a leader or "third force" in diplomatic groupings,
should serve a worthwhile function in preventing the polarization
of influence between the opposing world powers.
