Guarding Citizen Rights
Aside from Its many endeavors in the promotion of
plain good citizenship, the National Rifle Association,
through its long history, has contributed incalculably
to the cause of Individual liberty. As an example, It
steadfastly upholds the right of firearm ownership by
law-abiding citizens. This right has been as much a
part of U-8. freedom as the right of assembly and free
speech. Men have always had to fight to preserve these
rights.
In an interesting 100th Anniversary editorial, touch-
ing on current agitation for gun control laws, "The
American Rifleman” observes, “Attempts to eliminate
handguns are nothing new. In July 1518, the Emperor
Maximilian banned their manufacture and use in Aus-
tria because highwaymen could carry them 'secretly
under their clothing." ’ From Maximilian’s day right
to the present, schemes have been devised to take fire- j
arms away from private citizens. After World War II,
attempts were made to eliminate private ownership of
guns out of fear that World War n veterans "trained to
kill with guns’" would come home and be susceptible to
involvement in shootings on every street comer.
The Rifleman concludes that, “The outrageous er-
ror of trying to control firearms. Instead of criminals,
is only Just now being fully realized." It is a reasonably
good bet, however, that the right of gun ownership will
remain unabridged only *0 long as alert citizens and
alert organizations such as the NRA continue to up-
hold it. Just as they do other individual rights that
spell the difference between oppression and freedom
Encouraging Outlook
The Kiplinger Magazine, CHANGING TIMES, which
has provided an advisory service to families on econo-
mic and financial matters for a great many years re-
cently contained an informative article on business
fcif-regulation. The article, entitled "Better Business
bureaus prepare for action” tells the story of the newly
formed Council of Better Business Bureaus, Incorporat-
ed.
The article states that, "Those venerable institu-
tions, the Better Business Bureaus, have a new look
based on a public promise to strengthen their hand In
business self-regulation and to respond more effectively
to you, the American consumer." The article then
describes how the Council has moved under the direc-
tion of some of the nation’s top business leaders to put
teeth in self-regulation and to remove, so far as pos-1
sible, the need for politically oriented consumer pro-
tection legislation of the kind that emasculates the
initiative and freedom of competitive enterprise.
CHANGING TIMES outlines the five priority programs
0? the Council. These Include the expansion of local
Better Business Bureau services; the setting up of con-
sumer arbitration panels to hear and Judge consumer
business disputes; the building of a national consumer
Information computer bank; the development of a
broad consumer education program and the administra-
tion of the newly created National Advertising Review
Board, which will monitor and regulate national ad-
vertising.
Klplingers dispassionately analyzes the Council’s
operations and the programs it has undertaken and
concludes that . .the outlook is encouraging.” These
words, coming from one of the most respected publica-
tions in its field, are an impressive indication of pro-
press in business self-regulation.
TWO VIEWS OF THE
COMMUNISTS
Senator J. William Fulbright,
Chairman of the Senate Foreign
Relation* Committee, whose
view* on international Commun-
ism and foreign policy have
largely been ignored by the
Johnson (Democratic) and Nix-
on (Republican) administra-
tions, has written an illuminat-
ing article in the current Now
Yorker magazine. Because of
hi* normally powerful position
ami since ho has been a loading
spokesman against "anti-Com-
munism" and perhapa the most
prestigious “dove” during the
Vietnam war, his philosophic
view* as expressed in his 12,000-
! word article, should be known to
Americans who do not read the
New Yorker,
Say* Mr. Fullbright: Since the
Truman “doctrine” waa estab-
liahed, with the diapatch of
American troop* to Greece to
help prevent the Communists
(according to President Tru-
man) from taking over Greece,
American foreign policy has
been warped by an “anti-Com-
munist obsession.” "One won-
der*,” he *ay», "how much
more might have been accom-
plished — particularly in the]
field of disarmament — if Ame-
ricans had not been caught up
in anti-Communism.” (Sen. Ful-
bright ha* long oppoaed anti-
Communiam).

In the public Interest, to quote
the' following, from a recent
analysis by Dr. Stefan T, Poe-
sony. Director of International
Political Studies, Hoover Institu-
tion: “In 1968, the USSR had a
total of 600 ICBM’s, including
Jess than 1.00 SS-9’s, the heav-
iest missile in the Soviet arsen-
al. By the time the first round
of SALT (disarmament) talks
began, late In 1969, the Soviet
long range missile force had
grown to 1,200 ICBM’s. During
the second round, in 1970, some
100 more Soviet ICBM’s were
added. Each time the U.S. got
logether with the USSR during
the third, fourth and fifth
round*, the Soviet* added their
customary 100 missiles. The
longer we laiked, the more mis-
siles the Soviets built. At pre-
sent the USSR has nearly 1,600
ICBM’s including 300 SS-9’s.

lic was being told that the
USSR was really ’aerioua’ about

The sudden deafness may be
caused by rupture of a thin lay-
er of tissue covering a tiny win-

of operations being tried to re-
cover the small round window
in an effort to restore hearing.
I must call your attention to
the fact that many people who
have progressive hearing loss
pay little or no attention to it
until it falls below the level of
serviceable hearing. Many of
these people then say thattbeir

this is not the true case.

it is rather simple to learn If

your discomfort and the pill by
