ouncing claims that German
Foreign Minister Willy Brandt
Insulted French Preside nt
Charles de Gaulle:
"I understand that certain
persons are interested in
disturbing the French-German
relations. But you know that
one of the most important
points of the program of the
Social Democratic Party, when
we entered the cabinet, was the
improvement of the relations
between Paris and Bonn.”
WASHINGTON—Secretary of
Defense Robert McNamara,
clarifying a State Department
assertion last week that U.S.
intelligence officers knew when
the Communist offensive in
South Vietnam would start:
"We did have advance intel
ligence of the winter-spring
campaign offensive that the
North Vietnamese were plan
ning. We didn’t know the date
on which these guerrilla attacks
would take place and we didn't
know the targets.”

Credibility Gap
Back In Style
The phrase “credibility gap” probably will be back in
vogue in the wake of conflicting administration state
ments regarding the seizure of the Pueblo.
When the ship was taken by the North Koreans, our
government was quick to say emphatically that the vessel
was not within the limits that would make the seizure legal
under international law.
The administration held to this line for several days
while it attempted through the United Nations and other
diplomatic channels to get the ship back.
But Sunday Secetary of State Dean Rusk and Secretary
of Defense Robert McNamara went on national television
to hedge on the first statements. These two men in top
policy positions said they could not say for sure that the
Pueblo had not been in North Korean waters until they
talked with the crew.
Monday came reports from Seoul that North Korea
would release the ship and crew in exchange for a U. S.
admission that the ship was in North Korean waters. And
almost at the same time, William Bundy, another admini
stration official, was on another television program saying
that there was no foundation to reports that the Pueblo
might be released.
Most American citizens want to trust their government
and its policy statements. But such conflicting declarations
that have been made in the last several days make it diffi
cult to do so.
It would be better for the administration to say nothing
at all in situations like the Pueblo incident than to muddle
up things with half truths and later have to back track.
What If This
Idea Spreads?
So somebody came up with this wild idea for a show.
“Look,” he said, “let’s do it without a trace of sultry
sex, violence, abnormality, crime, obscenity, innuendo or
low comedy.
“Let’s stay away from barroom brawls, lynchings, hang
ings or shootouts between the good guys and the bad guys.
“Let’s keep it out of the gambler joints, the girlie shows
or crummy night spots.
“Let’s just take two cute kids, their older kid sister
a nice-girl type—and a couple of normal, grown-up guys.
Then let’s fix up some simple scripts for them.
“We won’t even have a woman in the regular cast, al
though we can bring in one now and then—the kind we
can introduce to the kids.
“What do you think?”
Well, to show you what a bunch of kooks this fellow
was dealing with, they didn’t have him committed. They
O.K.’d the idea. And they got together a television series
that stuck to it.
How long did it last? One week? Two weeks? Thirteen
weeks?
It lasted all season. And into another season. In fact, it’s
still going strong, with a good rating. It even has sponsors.
You can’t depend on the public, can you?

Excuse Punctured
For Low Scores
CHICAGO TRIBUNE
Big city educators all have the same excuse when tests
of their pupils show that they are not learning much. The
test scores are low, say the educator*, because there are
»o many underprivileged, racial minority children who pull
the averages down.
A recent report on reading and arithmetic te*t* in San
Francisco schools casts doubt on the validity of this ex
cuse. Sixth grade pupils were tested in all 96 of the city’s
schools. In five of the schools more than 70 per cent of the
pupils are Chinese, a minority group which has not held a
privileged status in this country. Nevertheless, all five of
these schools placed among the 10 best San Francisco
schools in arithmetic computation. One school, which has
87 per cent Chinese pupils, ranked with the city’s four
top schools in application, and mathematical concepts.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, 60 per cent
of the pupils of this school were born in Hong Kong. Many
were introduced to arithmetic in Hong Kong, where the
emphasis is on rote instruction and the use of the abacus.
The school principal has observed the Hong Kong school*
and thinks the abacus is a wonderful way to help children
understand mathematical concepts.
Maybe the big city educators had better try to find new
excuse* for the poor test scores posted by so many pupils.

Poor In Spirit
What did Jesus mean when
He said: "Blessed are the poor
in spirit; for theirs is the king
dom of heaven.” Does this mean
that the best reward is promis
ed to those who deserve it least?
J.B.
I think you have misunder
stood our Lord's beatitude. He
did not say, or mean, "Blessed
are the poor-spirited” — which
is what you probably think He
said.
By the poor in spirit He meant
those who are spiritually poor—
and know it. He was referring to
that deep sense of spiritual need
which is, after all, the first and
chief condition of entering into
the blessedness of God's king
dom.
God can do nothing for those
who have no awareness of their
poverty of soul and are not pre
pared to acknowledge themsel
ves to be bankrupt sinners in
His sight. That was why Jesus
said on another occasion: "They
that are whole have no need of
the physician, but they that are
sick; I came not to call the
righteous, but sinners to repen
tance.” (Mark 2:17).
God’s kingdom belongs to those
who recognize that they least
deserve it. They know that they
are sinners and cannot save
themselves — so they cast them
selves upon the mercy of God.
They know they are pitiably poor
and cannot pay their own way
to heaven — so they lay hold
upon the unsearchable riches of
Christ.
Yes, they are the “blessed”
or happy ones. And theirs is the
kingdom of heaven.

PRAYER: Help us, Father, to

our Lord, who taught us to pray,
"Our Father who art in heaven.

Dyslexia — Greek for
“hard reading”—is a still
mysterious eye disability
that impedes reading and is
estimated to affect, in a
great variety of ways, from
5 to 28 per cent of children,
reports The World Alma
nac. Dyslexia includes vis
ual difficulties in changing
focus between near and far,
following a moving object,
perceiving of reverse im
ages, as when a “p” be
comes a “b,” a “q” be
comes a “d” and a word
such as “was” becomes
“saw.”
