The Citizen published a story Saturday about a heck- ler who has filed a suit for $150,000 against Vice Presi- @ent Richard Nixon. The heckler says he was grabbed, pushed out of a hall and beaten because he said to Nixon, *Tell' us a dog story, Dick.” . That was & jab at the Republican party because of the dog story, told by Defense Secretary Wilson, that kicked back with a bang, resulting in Wilson’s apologiz- ' fhe Citizen doubts if the heckler will recover dam- ages from Nixon, but The Citizen has no doubt whatever sbout the repulsive campaign that Nixon conducted against the Democratic party preceding the November 2 election, Democratic leaders, sparked by,Sam Rayburn of Texas, who will become speaker of the house,in January, ‘are primed: to dig into Nixon for the way he abused the The American public does its own thinking in poli- | dea today ‘more than it has ever done before.

Douglas MacArthur sees a new industrial revolution under way today— thanks to electronics. ae But, some labor leaders aren’t so sure they’re thankful. The chairman of the board of Renifngton Rand, Inc., in annowne- ing that his firm will have a new electronic, brain” ready for de- livery next year, says: | “The remarkable developments in electronics over the past few years have. effected. a‘ revolution in business methods and proce- dures comparable to the industrial revolution two centuries ago. “The business world is moving into a new phase of data handling and’ management control through the use of high-speed, time-saving | devices. : ‘ “There willbe further develop- ments and refinements, but the basic groundwork has. been Jaid for achieving *goals in; business and industrial administrations and ¢on- trols undreamed of a decade ago,” At’ Columbia University, mean- time, International Business Ma- chines is ready to take the wraps off a new machine it calls the most powerful and fastest electron- ic computing machine yet devised. IBM has been perfecting the new computer at Columbia’s Wat- son Laboratory for the Naval Bu- reau of Ordnance. Remington Rand’s forthcoming Univae file-computer will be a sort of kid brother to the Univae that became a household word after the recent election. It will com- plate a range of these electronic . | brains from the million-dollar Uni- vac system down to the Univac-120 and Univae-60 priced around $75,- 000. The new” intermediate Univac will have a storage drum memory that will -hold up. to. 1,800,000 al-| phabetical and numerical charac-| ters. The company says the| machine will be able to use these characters instantly without refer- ence to any sequence of numbers | of letters.

The answer to this phase accident problem is more plicated than the one you are ing for — but the point is, you will never find yours. P. S. Have you ever found that people actually improve after a lecture?” Dr. Dunbar calls the psychoso- matic» individual who. is always hurting himself, a victim of “acci- dentitis.” She goes further to claim that only 10 to 20 per cent of all injuries, fatal or otherwise, are really accidental accidents. The rest are linked to the personality of the victim. I think most of us will agree with her line of thought but the percentage she states seems ridiculous. The psychosomatic person is one who suffers from a. physical dis- order brought on by emotions, (That definition may not be en- tirely complete but it's close enough for our needs in ‘today’s dis- cussion.) I’m willing to grant that such a person might injure him- | self, fatally or otherwise, but to say that 80 to 90 per cent of the people hurt come under such a classification is going too far. ** Remember, last year, there were 9,695,000 accidental deaths and in- juries according to the National Sa- fety Council, It would be hard to believe that all but 10 or 20 per cent of these people suffered in- jury becuse of emotional disorders! How would Dr. Dunbar exolain major catastrophes such as fires, train wrecks, etc.? Tll agree with Larry Karns in- sofar as the importance of medi- cine and psychiatry playing an im- portant part in the future elimina- tion of accidents. But these scien- ces, in my opinion, can never re- place the triangular “E’s’: En- forcement — Education ~ and En- gineering.

Key West In Days Gone By Monroe County School Board, comprising Carlyle Roberts, chair- man, Mrs. Clarence Pierce and Dr. Fred Carbonell, will act on a Tesolution, at its meeting next Thursday evening, requiring that the superintendent of public. in- struction in Monroe County, be- fore he can be a candidate for that affice, must have had at least "PEOPLE’S FORUM of the views of its read- att ees which Editor, The Citizen: May I please be again permitted to ask you to place my very important vital question in your interesting Peos ples Forum column for your great intelligent family of readers of this fine Key West Gitizen. Should school teachers who teach children in any kind of a school, public school or Sunday school, attend church or religious services, sinte they are trusted in the care of teaching children educition and good manners? Is it fitting for teachers to whom children look up as their leaders and teachers not to attend church? I know some teachers do ga to church regularly, but some never go to church. I would like to read in your worthy column the hon- est answer of opinion from our clergy and parents of children and the general public. A friend of your steady readers of your admirable Citizen HE’S AGAINST IT Editor, The Citizen Private opinions voiced publicly are justly vulnerable to criticism — or should be; the writer should expect it; the publisher should al- low it.

Christmas gives scars as well as pleasures, ‘ i I was one of five children and cannot remember that as a child at Christmastime I ever gave a present to make my mother happy, Big scar to me. None to mother. When I was young, there was no real poverty. The tree was strung with cranberries and popcorn, the gift of love was an orange — how strange an orange was then — and a few nuts from Brazil to make the day strange and merry. There was also a gift for us all, something like a sled we could use and fight over. " But it was all for us. At my age I still can’t recall when the idea first came to us that we should also give a present to our father and mother — that this was also part of Christmas. We were used to taking things — and there were many of us, and our parents were so used to giving and expecting nothing that we rather grew up and never knew quite what we owed.

Knowland of California —who want tougher tactics toward communism, but in particular and in a hurry against Red China. Secretary of State Dui sponded in a radio-television broad- cast Monday night: The United States will try to use every peace ful means, before going any fur- ther, to get along with the Com- munists. “Peaceful” was the keynote of his talk, although he said this country would “react vigorously” to provocation.

Without specifying this in his yk, Dulles called the Chinese re- Today By James Marlow along but without them if neces. sary, Dulles- answered Knowland di- rectly, without naming him, by repudiating his two proposals of blockade and go-it-alone, at least for the presemt.
