HOUSTON—Dr. Denton A.
Cooley, estimating the endur
ance of an artificial heart he
used to keep his patient alive
for 63 hours until a new human
heart could be transplanted:
“He could have lasted for
perhaps 10 days, optimistically
three weeks or a month, but I
wasn’t in any mood to test this
at this point.’’
PARIS—Pham Dang Lam,
chief South Vietnamese negotia
tor at the Paris peace talks on
the Vietnam War, quoted by the
French newspaper Le Figaro as
being ready to face the Viet
Cong in free elections:
“We sincerely hope the
political struggle will be substi
tuted for war. And we are
ready, as soon as the fighting
stops, to accept general elec
tions—under international con
trol if necessary—whatever the
results may be.”

Almanac
For
Today
By United Press International
Today is Wednesday, April
9, the 99th day of 1969 with 266
to follow.
The moon is between its last
quarter and new phase.
The morning stars are Venus,
Mars and Jupiter.
The evening stars are Mercu
ry and Saturn.
On this day in history:
In 1865 Gen. Robert E. Lee
surrendered to Gen. Ulysses S.
Grant at Appomattox Court
House in Virginia as the war
between the states neared an
end.
In 1940 Germany invaded both
Norway and Sweden in World
War 11.
In 1942 Bataan fell to the
Japanese after two months of
bitter fighting by American and
Filipino troops.
In 1963, the nuclear subma
rine Thresher went down 220
miles east of Boston in the
North Atlantic. All 129 men
aboard were lost.
T/ioMg/it For Today
A thought for the day: Gen.
Grant said; “Keep the church
and state forever separate.”

Joint Board
Step Forward
The city and county took another step in
their goal of a unified program of recrea
tion this week. They appointed a joint city
county recreation advisory committee.
The city has abandoned its old recrea
tion advisory boards and joined with the
county in naming seven people to serve in
the new line up.
Things are moving in the right direction.
With a spirit of cooperation between city
and county prevailing, much can be ac
complished.
Joint endeavors need not stop with re
creation. There are other areas in which
both can work together in a spirit of har
mony for the benefit of all citizens.
Old Soldiers
In Industry
More and more high ranking military officer* are find
ing second careers by going into industry.
More than 2,000 of them have at the present-time, dis
close* Sen. William Proxmire, D-Wis., who call* it a “most
dangerous and shocking condition” that threatens the
public interest.
Why no one has publicized the pertinent statistics be
fore is a bit puzzling, for on their face they certainly con
stitute highly compelling evidence of a deeply entrenched
“military-industrial complex.”
There are, according to the figure* Proxmire received on
reguest from the Defense Department, 2,072 retired, high
ranking (none lower than colonel or Navy captain) mili
tary officers on the payrolls of the country's leading de
fense contractors.
These 100 firms presently hold more than $26 billion
in military contracts, representing 67 per cent of the U. S.
defense budget.
Just 10 of the 100 contractors employ more than half
the retired officers.
Among the major contractors producing key compo
nents for the controversial antiballistic missile system
(ABM), nine employ 465 retired officers, or an average
of 51 each.
“The easy movement of high-ranking military officers
into jobs with major defense contractors and the reverse
movement of top executive* of major defense contractors
into high Pentagon jobs is solid evidence of the military
industrial complex in operation,” claims Proxmire.
The greatest chance for abuse of the public interest lies
in the fact that 90 per cent of all defense contracts are
negotiated rather than awarded on an advertised, competi
tive basis.
Defense Department regulations generally forbid a re
tired officer to “represent anyone other than the United
States in connection with a matter in which the United
States is a party ,or has an interest and in which he partici
pated personally and substantially for the government.”
But a code is a code is a code if it is not enorced. There
must be some reason for the popularity of ex-military of
ficer* among corporations, especially those doing defense
work. The pool of talented civilian executives can’t be that
shallow.
Nor is this buddy system something that begins only
with retirement. Proxmire questions how hard a bargain a
Pentagon procurement officer might drive with a corpora
tion with whom he could possibly find a lucrative position
when he retires.
The situation, says Proxmire, “makes it imperative that
new weapon systems receive the most critical review and
that defense contracts be examined in microscopic detail.”
It does that—-and a lot more. Short of permanent world
peace, which would permit the dismantling of the nation's
defense force* (an almost inconceivable thought), it re
quires constant vigilance that the high-powered salesman
ship of the military-industrial cpmplex does not pressure
the nation into buying one iota more of cold or hot war
hardware than is absolutely essential to preserve security.
Here is the real matter for concern—not waste of tax
dollars or resources, not personal aggrandizement (the
vast majority of military men are honest patriots) — but
the danger that we may come to have so much invested in
the weaponry of war that we could not afford real peace.

MY A
ANSWER Wl
Fiancee Flirts
My fiancee and I plan to be
married soon. Recently her be
havior has worried and Upset
me. Every time we go out she
flirts with other men, even com
plete strangers. What do you
think? 3.3.
If, at the time when it is often
said that love is blind, you are
beginning to have doubts in
your own mind, I would advise
you to go slow and take a second
look at the situation. It may be
that your fiancee is just joking
and that you are unduly con
cerned. However, if she is show
ing up traits which may contin
ue or increase after your mar
riage you both will be much hap
pier if you terminate your rela
tionship now. We all know that
there are many marital trage
dies because marriage has been
contracted in haste or without
due consideration of the many
factors involved. Marriage shou
ld be a permanent relationship
it should never be entered into
where there are questions which
might cause later unhappiness
and heartache. Talk this over
frankly with your fiancee. Sear
ch your own heart and see whe
ther it is you who is at fault.
Most important of all, ask God
to guide both of you. Many dif
ficulties are solved immediately
when we turn them over to God.
It is far better for you to go slow
than to repent later on.

WORLD ALMANAC
FACTS
What causes some of the
world’s great seas to range
in color from black to
white? The Black Sea, The
World Almanac says, is
turned black by the high
concentration of hydrogen
sulphide. Millions of small
algae give the Red Sea its
color. Mud and silt lend to
the Yellow Sea its hue, and
the White Sea, on Russia's
northern coast, earns its
name from being nearly al
ways ice-covered.
