WASHINGTON — Sen Robert
F. Kennedy, D-N.Y., comment
ing on his proposal to President
Johnson not enter the presiden
tial race if Johnson would
agreed to appoint a commission
to ease the nation out of
Vietnam:
"I made it clear that if it
were more than a pupllc
relations gimmick, if both the
President’s announcement of
the commission and its mem
fership, signaled a clear cut
willingness to seek a wide path
to peace in Vietnam, then my
declaration of candidacy would
no longer be necessary.”
WASHINGTON—Sen. John J.
Williams, R-Del., speaking of
the possible reaction of Rep.
Wilbur Mills, D-Ark., chairman
of the House Ways and Means
Committee, to a proposed 10
per cent income tax surcharge
tied to a cut in spending:
“I think Wilbur Mills will go
along with it.”

MUSKEGON, MICH., CHRONICLE
It should be understood by all that measurable and last
ing social progress will come—and can only come—under
conditions of law and order and social peace.
What’s Become
Os Pueblo Crew?
While North Korean and United States representatives
exchange insults at Panmunjom, the 82 surviving crew
men of the USS Pueblo molder in captivity somewhere in
North Korea.
There has been no suggestion that their release is any
where near imminent.
On the contrary there have been suggestions that the
affair could drag on for months.
The United States position has been difficult from the
start. Now it seeks alternatives.
Although real negotiations seem to have progressed
little beyond the stage of charge and counter-charge, both
sides have indicated some change of position through pro
paganda broadcasts and other unofficial exchanges.
When the North Koreans seized the Pueblo on Jan. 23
off the North Korean coast near the port of Wonsan, Sec
retary of State Dean Rusk advised them to “cool it,’* and
said, “There can be no satisfactory result short of prompt
. . . release of that ship and its officers and crew.”
Among more hawk-like congressmen there was a de
mand that the United States blast its way into the port to
release ship and crew.
On their side, the North Koreans declared “these cri
minals must be dealt with by law.”
Both sides accused the other of aggression.
The North Koreans hinted in broadcasts that they might
consider leniency for the Pueblo’s crew in exchange for a
U. S. apology.
The advantage lies with the North Koreans since they
have possession of both ship and crew and since the United
States obviously does not wish a war now in both South
east and Northeast Asia.
The question now is, “Should the United States apolo
gize, for the sake of its 82 men, for something it may not
have done?”
The Dollars
You Save
Anything that individual Americans can do to help their
government save a buck in these parlous times they should
be told about.
.Thus, we pass along an appeal from the Environmental
Science Services Administration.
If you should chance upon a radiosonde—a balloon
borne package of instruments that flashes back informa
tion to weathermen around the world—please return it,
no matter how badly battered it may be. Just drop it off at
the nearest post office, in its own postage-paid sack, for
return to the National Reconditioning Center in Joliet, 111.
Such thoughtful acts by citizens are already saving the
government about SIBO,OOO a year, says ESSA. A new
radiosonde costs about sls to S3O. But to recondition one
costs only $6.37, including parts, labor and overhead.
The folks at Joliet recently repaired their 400,000th
radiosonde since the facility was established in 1945. That
adds up to a tidy sum of money saved.
Weathermen may still not be able to do much about the
weather, but such concern for the taxpayers makes up for
for a lot of faulty forecasts.
More Tears
For Criminals
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Those soaring crime rate figures we read so much about
these days don’t seem to have made much impression on
some of the nation’s lawyers and judges. Just recently, an
American Bar Association study group recommended
shorter sentences for convicted felons. Five years maximum
for most crimes seemed right to these high octane thinkers.
They also would empower judges to hand out probation
right from the bench except in such cases as murder and
treason. Reasonable of them, what? All this kindness,
argue the barristers, would help convince criminals of the
error of their ways.
Just for once we’d like to hear some of these people
speak up for justice—or the rights of those who have been
killed, maimed or robbed. The bleaters and bleeders have
made it hard enough to convict criminals. Let’s not allow
them further to undermine the country with sentences that
hard cases can do “standing on their heads.”

MY
answerlß
Growing Pains
I am 13 years old, and I try to
do what I believe is right, but I
always have bad luck, no mat
ter what I do I have almost
come to believe that God doesn’t
love me anymore because every
thing I touch goes wrong. Please
help me. .JH.
Dear J.H.:
As we develop into grown-ups
we all go through an awkward
stage where it seems that noth
ing goes right. Just as we have
“growing pains” physically, we
have .‘‘growing pains” mentally
and spiritually. To you, this
seems like bad luck, but it is
normal and you shouldn’t be too
frustrated. It is all part of the
process of developing into an
adult.
Please don’t feel that these th
ings happen because God doesn’t
love you. He loves awkward
people just as much as He loves
those who are adroit, and per.
haps even more. And what you
are experiencing isn’t "b a d
luck.” I read no place in the Bi
ble about bad luck Everything
that happens to a believer, both
good and ill, is for our good, and
for our growth. The Bible says,
“All things work together for
good to them that love God, to
them who are called according
to his purpose.” (Romans 8:23)
I have recently been ill, and I
don’t blame it upon bad luck.
Perhaps God knew that my
body and mind needed rest, and
He put me in bed. This has been
a time of great benefit and bless
ing to me, and I will come out of
it a better person. Take all that
happens to you (even the ill)
and say, “God is working our
His purpose, and I will praise
Him.”
SO* TODAY FROM vtV'J
Cbe Upper Roottiefo
If ye forgive men their tres
passes, your heavenly Father
will also forgive you. (Matthew
6:14)
PRAYER: To Thee, heavenly
Father, we acknowledge our
many wrongs and plead for for
giveness. Fill our hearts with
Thy love that we may forgive
those who trespass against us as
we have been forgiven. In Je
sus’ name. Amen.
Thought For Today
A thought for the day:
President Woodrow Wilson said:
“Sometimes people call me an
idealist. Well, that is the way I
know I am an American,
America is the only idealistic
nation in the world.”

The lightest of all known
metals, lithium, which
weighs 33.32 pounds per
cubic foot, was discovered
in 1817 by August Arfved
son, says The World
Almanac. Lithium is over
42 times lighter than
osmium, densest of all
metals, weighing 1,403
pounds per cubic foot. An
alkali metal, lithium is
used in alloys to increase

ance to corrosion.
