How Washington Handled It
Once again we celebrate, the birthday of George
Washington. It’s a good time to do it — not just
because Washington may have something of value
to say to us in light of certain current events.
Somewhat sinister charges that the military
have been censored, or muzzled or otherwise ham-
pered in their duty of keeping America strong in
the face of tis enemies have been under investiga-
tion by a Senate committee.
Tt seems to be agreed that speechmaking is
part of the defense duties of officers. And all are
agreed that military men, while in service, have no
business getting involved in narrow partisan con-
troversies.
The deeper question, however, is how far they
may go in voicing sincerely felt disagreement with
the broad aspects of government policies, and hpw
far the government may go in controlling those
criticisms before it infringes upon basic right.
As in so many other things, George Washing-
ton set the pattern our history has followed in this
field — not as president but as commander of the
American Army during the Revolution.
A modern biographer, Douglas Southall Free-
man, listed five rules which Washington followed in
his often trying relations with the Continental Con-
gress, to which he was responsible.
The first four dealt with such things as the
Army's obligation to keep Congress fully informed
on all matters not involving urgent military secrets;
the Army’s acknowledgement that it was “consis-
tently subordinate” to the civil government; and
prompt, obedience to congressional orders.
It is the fifth rule that is most pertinent to
us today. As Freeman wrote:
“There was to be no public criticism of Con-
gress by Washington and no imputation of unworthy
service. On the contrary, delegates were always to
be credited with seeking the country’s welfare and
that only.”
Undoubtedly, if Washington were, alive today,
he would broaden the rule to apply to the presi-
dent, cabinet members and other officials of the
modern government, as well as congressmen. And
he would perhaps be amazed at the statements that
have come from certain quarters publicly question-
ing the loyalty or ability of high government figures.
To those who read the history of Washington’s
pledgings for something to fight with and the in-
ept efforts of Congress to provide it, the conclu-
sion is inescapable that it was the skill and nobil-
ity of purpose of this unusual general which kept
the loosely bound parts of the Confederation from
flying in all directions.
And it was, in great measure, Washington’s
example — his belief that the soldier is a civil ser-
vant his willingness to impute the best of motives
to those who disagreed with him, and his distaste
for the role of “man on horseback” — that kept
the American Revolution from going the way of the
French Revolution and so many others.
Whatever the shortcomings of either side —
military or civilian — in the present controversy,
it would be well for all Americans to keep George
Washington’s example in mind.
BARBS -
A full meal dulls the human ear, says a me-
dical authority. No wonder junior can’t hear “It’s
time to go to bed.”
It’s as important that we raise teachers’ pay
as it is that they raise our children.______________

Mefiy-Go- Round.... By Drew Pearson
WASHINGTON — The Kennedy son Republican, employs his wife
family has now put the official
Stamp of approval on nepotism.
This is a big help to congress-
men, some of whom have had
their relatives on the payroll for
years.
In all fairness it should be
noted that many of these con-
gressional relatives work hard,
just as do most of the Kennedy
relatives. Hardest working Ken-
nedys are brother Bob and broth-
er-in-law Sargent Shriver, who
a!re real assets.
Brother Teddy Kennedy is an
assistant state attorney in Massa-
chusetts, not a federal job, and
is now touring Europe; while
’brother-in-law Stephen Smith who
has been no great asset to the
Statu Department, is now exiting.
On Capitol Hill the number of
wives and relatives on the pay-
roll is a little larger this year
than usual, and some serve an
important function in helping
congressmen and their districts.
Here is part of the rollcall:
Congressman Dick Bolling of
Kansas City says frankly, “Sure,
my wife is on my payroll. I
couldn’t do without her.” Mrs.
Bolling is paid $9,816 a year and
is an asset.
George Miller, hard-working
California Democrat, also employs
his wife Esther, at $7,680.
Rep. Alvin O’Konski, Wiscon-
Veronica, at $10,212, and has done
so since he came to Congress in
1942. Mrs. O’Konski punches a
time clock.
Another wife who is an asset
to her husband is Mrs. Hale
Boggs of Louisiana, who draws
$8,400; also the wife of another
Louisiana congressman, Mrs. Ed-
ward Hebert, salary $7,284.
Customary Practice
Putting relatives on the payroll
is accustomed practice among
Louisiana congressmen. Rep. T.
A. Thompson of Louisiana em-
ploys his wife at $11,520 a year;
Jimmy Morrison, the embullient
congressman from the strawberry
district of Louisiana, lists M. A.
Morrison (his wife) at $8,484 an-
nually from the taxpayers; while
Edwin Willis employs his daugh-
ter-in-law, and N. C. Willis, for
$6,700. All are Democrats.
Democrat Mel Price of Illinois
pays his brother Raymond the
relatively small salary of $5,-
964.
John Tabor of New York, Re-
publican, pays his son a much
higher salary, $14,340. Oren Har-
ris of Arkansas, Democrat, pays
his brother $14,390. Willie Harris
punches the time clock early in
the morning.
Ross Bass of Tennessee, Demo-
crat, pays his wife A vend 1 $12,
588 a year; while Congressman
THE POLICE CHIEF said
Cromwell wanted to see me be-
fore I left City Hall yesterday
morning.
Thinking he was going to im-
part some news for a change,
I found my way into his office
and sat down.
“There were two men riding
on an airplane,’’ he said. “Af-
ter they talked a while, one
told the other he could tell
what school he went to. It was
Harvard. You could tell by the
way he dressed (Ivy League,
you know) and the way he1
talked.
“The Harvard man was sur-
prised, then said he bet he
could teell where the other fel-
low went to school — Texas
A&M College. The Aggie want-
ed to know how in the world
he knew that, A&M being a
comparatively small school way
off down in Texas.
“The Harvard man. said he
could tell because the Aggie
picked his nose all the time
he talked.” — Conclusion of
“joke.”
That was the only “scoop”
the city manager had for the
day.
CROMWELL did tell me that
Johns Hospital has offered the
city the use of its microfilm-
ing machine.
This would eliminate the city’s
having to lease a machine.
There was some question as
to whether the machine would
do the job on city records, but
Cromwell indicated it could
be adapted. Dr. Johns’ machine
takes 8 mm film, while1 the city
needs 16 mm film.
EARLIER I ASKED Police-
man Bobby Rivison, who was
on duty at the desk, if Astro-
naut John Glenn’s speed of
17,500 miles an hour broke the
Taylor hotrod record.
He replied he didn’t think so.
Police Chief Schier, who
came in a moment later, said
he’d have to check the records.
ROTARY BULLETIN descrip-
tion of Americanism: “Monthly
payments bigger than monthly
pay.”
The fellow who put that in
the weekly Rotary news sheet,
Jerry Pavlik, also had this to
say:
“Your editor who at the age
of 18 saw his first pair of
shoes . . . saw the first shirt
with a tie painted on—-at the
Rotary meeting in Georgetown
last Friday morning—on Mayor
Charles Forbes of that city.”
Mayor Forbes must be a real
gone cat.
Incidentally, local Rotatians
are still going all out to help
the fledging Georgetown club
get started. Pre-charter meet-
ings are being held.
THE REV. JOSEF Barton
and Roman Bartosh must be
dead serious about trying to
get the Williamson County Tex-
as exes organized.
They made arrangements for
the dope about the meeting,
along with “The Eyes of Tex-
as” publication (strictly propa-
ganda, Galbreath), to be mailed
to the exes.
The tea-sippers will meet
March 2 at 7 p.m. at Food Fair,
The wheels are proclaiming
that all exes are welcome, for
the price of the meal, of course.
Whether this organization will
seek peace with the Aggies, or
whether they even want to, Ijflh
don’t know.

★ WASHINGTON COLUMN ★
Council Is Muscle For
Western Hemisphere Group
BY PETER EDSON
Washington Correspondent
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
WASHINGTON—(NEA)—The job of making an action pro-
gram out of the nine resolutions adopted by the Latin-American
foreign ministers after nine days of struggling at Punta del
Este, Uruguay, now falls on the Council of the Organization
of American States—OAS—in Washington. • .
Two of the nine resolutions are considered of special impor-
tance. They are Resolution II, which calls for the establishment
of Western Hemisphere security against international commu-
nism, and Resolution VIII, which calls for severance of eco-
nomic relations with Castro’s Cuba.
RESOLUTION II SETS UP in the OAS Council a consultative
committee of experts to warn its member governments against
any acts of aggression, subversion or dangers to peace and
security from continued intervention of Sino-Soviet powers in
the Western Hemisphere.
This watchdog committee is to he selected by the OAS coun-
cil from lists submitted by the 20 member countries.
The committee will also have authority to recommend
to member countries measures for collective self-defense
and for counteracting threats or acts of aggression.
The committee reports are to be secret unless released by
the receiving governments.
RESOLUTION VIII ON ECONOMIC RELATIONS with Cuba
calls for the suspension of all trade with the Castro government
in arms and implements of war of every kind. This will outlaw
inter-American gun running and Cuban shipments of arms to
other countries. . ^,
Resolution VIII also calls on the OAS council to con-
sider extending the suspension of trade with Cuba on other
items, with special attention to strategic supplies.
So far, the United States is the only country that has placed
an embargo on all trade with Cuba. But 14 other American
THREE OTHER PUNTA DEL ESTE RESOLUTIONS give the
OAS Council new responsibilities. Cuba was excluded from
further participation in the Inter-American system by Resolu-
tion VI and was expelled from the Inter-American Defense
Board by Resolution VII.
Before these bans may he lifted and normal trade rela-
tions with Cuba re-established, there must he approval by
two-thirds of the members of the OAS.
By Resolution IX the OAS Council was also instructed to
broaden and strengthen the Inter-American Commission on
Human Rights statute so as to establish international legal pro-
tection for these rights throughout the Western Hemisphere.
THE LITTLE-PUBLICIZED OAS council, made up of a special
ambassador from each American republic, meets regularly on
the first and third Wednesdays of each month.
In the past few years the council has held more special pian
regular sessions because of recurring Latin-American crises.
Significance of the council’s actions on these matters is
not generally understood nor appreciated in the U.S. as
they are elsewhere.
John Lesinski, Michigan Demo-
crat, pays his wife Margaret only
$8,796.
Congressman Elmer Holland of
Pennsylvania, Democrat, pays
his wife $10,740; while Harlan Ha-
gen of California, also a Demo-
crat, pays wife Martha $5,592—
only half as much.
Mrs. Elizabeth Kee, Democrat
of West Virginia, employs her
son as administrative assistant
at $14,340; while Reepublican
Congressman Carl Anderesen of
Minnesota pays his son $9,912.
Congressman Don Magnuson, j
Washington Democrat — not to
be confused with Senator Mag-
nuson of the same state—-pays I
his son Donald $4,752; while
George Meader, Michigan Repub-1
lican, pays his daughter Kather-
ine $1,476.
Charlie Diggs of Detroit, Dem-|
ocrat, pays his wife Anna $7,752;
while Adam Clayton Powell of
Harlem pays his pretty Puerto
Rican wife, whom he married I
after he divdrced singer Hazel
Scott, $12,432. Mrs. Powell is not
a regular puncher of the time
clock.
Congressman Me'rwin Coad, j
Iowa Democrat, hires his wife
Carol fdr $12,516; while Congress-
man James Auchincloss, New
Jersey Republican, pays his wife
Vera $9,684.
Sisters and Nephews
Scholarly F. Bradford Morse,
the Massachusetts Republican, is
a purist in the art of nepotism.
He reminded this column that the
word “nepotism” is derived from
the Greek word for “nephew”
and Mr. Morse has his nephew,
Robert T. Morse Jr., on his pay-
ton for $6,000.
Sisters on congressional pay-
rolls include. Elizabeth Garmatz,
sister of the Maryland congress-
man, for' $10,980; Olive Daddario,
sister of the Connecticut con-
gressman, $8,400; Ida Addonizio,
sister of the New Jersey congress-
man, $5,460; Marjory Baring .sis-
ter of the Nevada congressman,
$5,000.
Other congressional wives on
their husbands’ payrolls are:
Catherine McDonough, who gets
$11,600 as administrative aide to
her husband, Gordon McDonough
California Republican; Mrs. Ruth
Trimble, wife . of Democratic
James Trimble of Arkansas $8,-
232, Martha Rivers, (Democrat)
wife of Democrat Rep. Ralph H.
Rivers of Alaska ($7,284); Doro-
thy Pilcher, wife of Democrat
Rep. John L. Pilcher of Georgia
($7,788). . ,
Also Marguerite Osmers, wife
of Republican Rep. Prank Os-
mers of New Jersey ($10,000);
Etna Winstead, wife of Demo-
crat Rep. Arthur Winstead of
Mississippi ($5,760); and Char-
lena Utt, wife of Republican Rep.
James Utt of California ($2,666).
Republican Thomas Pelly of
Washington has a daughter, Ma-
rian, on his payroll for $5,760.
Note—Sometimes a relative is
a real assist in a congressman’s
office. He dr she knows better
than a nonrelative what the boss
is thinking, can give quick action
to constituents.

Heart trouble is one of the
greatest threats to life, and it is
especially dangerous to men. Wo-
men seem to have special protec-
tion until after menopause; after
this they are about as susceptible
as men.
There are things we can do to
lessen the danger. Everyone
should have a complete and thor-
ough physical examination once
a year. Everyone should' lose ex-
cess poundage and remain at
their ideal weight for the rest
of their lives. If your blood cho-
lesterol is high, you should fol-
low your physician’s advice about
lowering it. You should take reg-
ular, daily exercise. These mea-
sures will go a long way toward
protecting you against heart di-
sease.
However, there are conditions
and happenings which can trigger
a heart attack. We are warned
against undue exposure to cold
because this places a severe bur-
den on Ihe circulatory system.
The body is a wonderful mech-
anism. It does its very best to
keep us alive and in good health.
We human beings are warm
blooded animals, and therefore,
wear clothes to reduce the
amount of surface skin exposed
to the air. In addition to this,
when we are chilled we shiver
involuntarily. This warms us up.
If we remain cold, small blood
vessels close down just under the
surface of the body. The heart
beats faster and the blood pres-
sure rises. All of these are battle
measures to keep us warm
enough.
The American Heart Assn, ad-
vises anyone with 'an illness
which causes poor circulation to
avoid exposure to cold. Here are
some suggestions we all can use.
Dress warmly when you go out,
but not so warmly that you per-
spire.
Dampness conducts
earmuffs and scarves.
Wools or synthetics which are
springy are best because they are
good insulators.
Your appetite increases in cold
weather. Eat a good diet but. do
not take your increased appetite
as an excuse to eat a tot of fat-
tening food, since overweight
places a strain on the heart.
If you must wait on a street
corner for a bus, exercise to stir
up circulation. Swing your arms,
shake your hands and stamp your
feet.
Keep dry
cold.
Cover
BUTTON UP OVERCOAT —
When we’re cold, the heart
must work harder in *an at-
tempt to keep us warm. Help
your heart and yourself by
dressing warmly when you go
out.
The American Heart Associa-
tion has a booklet ae'alled, “The
heart of* the Home.” This has
many helpful hints about kitch-
en arranglement, organization,
supplies and appliances and' so
forth which will help you simplify
your housework and avoid fati-
gue. If you would like to have it,
ask your local Heart Association,
or one in a nearby city, or
write to The American Heart
Association, or one in a nearby
city, or write to The American

Mexico Town '
Claims Glenn
MEXICO CITY W — Old-time
residents of Guanajuato, a pictur-
esque colonial city about 200
miles northwest of here, are lay
ing claim to U.S. astronaut John
Glenn as a native son.
The Mexico City newspaper
Diario de la Tarde said today the
residents recall that a mining en-
gineer named John Glenn lived
in Guanajuato a little more than
40 years ago. His wife bore a son
who would be about the astro-
naut’s age.
A search of city records to back
up this belief hasn’t produced any-
thing, the newspaper said, but the
old-timers are sticking to their
claim.
