Lobbyists lose battle in Senate
_ . , Mohrt rain non in AMA contribu- funding-bill conference. 1
TOM HEAROD is a typical
17-year-old. He likes piaza, girls and
admits studying sometimes can be
dull work.
But the Sapulpa High School
senior is different than some young
men his age when it comes to
athletics.
Hearod is a competitor of the first
order; an individual who likes to win
and, as the commerical says, go for
it with all the vigor available.
HEAROD IS unique in his com-
petive nature. However, his athletic
interests lie in two sports that are
very different and require different
skills — basketball and tennis.
Tennis is an individual sport while
basketball requires team play as
well as individual performance.
Hearod does both well and enjoys
the two sports equally, although he
has been individually state ranked in
tennis.
But the young man feels the cur-
rent success of the Sapulpa Chieftain
basketball program centers around
the ability of Coach Ray Reins to get
the very best from the players each
year.
“HE’S ONE of the state’s best
coaches,” Hearod said after the
Sapulpa crew took consolation
honors in the Union basketball tour-
nament Saturday.
“He cares about our performance
and tries to teach the game so we
can play better,” Hearod said.
Reins ability to teach the game is
unquestioned. In 13 yean as coach
at Sapulpa, his basketball teams
have had only one losing season.
They are traditionally among the
very best in Oklahoma.
HEAROD’S JOB with the Chietain
cagen is sort of a mixture of playing
defense well and “quarterback-
ing''the team as a play-making
guard.
It is important and Hearod must
function differently than others on
the team. It is his job to get the ball
into play, setting up the offensive ac-
tion many times that results in
baskets.
Hearod improves with each game
at his job because he can hear Reins
urging him forward from the bench,
yelling sometimes, speaking softly
at other times, to do better.
THE RESPONSE has been worth
Reins efforts and the competive
nature that drives Hearod has been
ignited as a result.
And the Chieftain fans benefit
from both the coaching of Reins and
the competiveness of Hearod, win or
lose, with each contest.
The end result is winning basket-
ball that is well played.
HAVE A good Monday.

As exhausted senators stumbled
out of the Senate chamber to catch a
few minutes’ sleep, they were but-
tonholed by lobbyists from the
American Medical Association, who
had been stalking the halls all night.
The doctors’ message was simple:
At some point in the pre-dawn hours,
the Senate would take up an amend-
ment to the government-funding bill
which the AMA felt was critical to
U.S. medical practice, and which
they hoped each senator would
support.
At issue was the AMA’s long fight
to have Congress forbid the Federal
Trade Commission to interfere with
the workings of professional associa-
tions. The AMA-FTC feud has gone
on since the mid-1970s, when the
passed an amendment proposed by
Rep. Tom Luken, D-Ohio (who had
received $19,750 in AMA contribu-
tions), which would have stripped
the FTC of all authority over profes-
sionals. The AMA was sure it was
over the biggest hurdle, since it
believed that Senate approval was
almost a forgone conclusion.

New year’s wishes:
By WILLIAM A. RUSHER
NEW YORK (NEA) - In the
course of an otherwise fairly routine
liberal attack on President Reagan’s
policy toward the Soviet Union, an
article in the winter issue of Foreign
Affairs poses — and answers — one
question of considerable importance
to every American. In the process,
attitude toward Russia but on that of
his liberal critics as well.
William Rusher
The article, entitled “Reagan and
Russia,” is co-authored by Seweryn
Bialer and Joan Afferica. A footnote
identifies Ms. Afferica as a pro-
fessor of history at Smith. As for Mr.
Bialer, it happens that I first ran into
him back in June 1956, when the CIA
surfaced him as a recent defector to
the West who, until February of that
year, had been a member of the Cen-
tral Committee of the Polish Com-
munist Party. The Senate Internal
Security Subcommittee, of which I
was then associate counsel, was
given the privilege of introducing
him to the press, and I remember
him only as a skinny, bespectacled
young fellow with a large mop of
black hair. But he seems to have
prospered during the intervening
qua ter-century, and to have pleased
the regnant liberals of the American
academy with his views, for accor-
ding to Foreign Affairs he now lux-
uriates in the resounding dual titles
of “Ruggles Professor of Political
Science and Director of the
Research Institute on International
Change of Columbia University.”
Most of the Bialer-Afferica article
is taken up with lame attemps to
show that the result of President
Reagan’s policy toward Russia “has
been a sharp worsening of
U.S.-Soviet relations to a level of
serious new confrontation and
mutual suspicion.” The implication
that, under abler management,
American relations with the Soviet
Union today would take a turn for
the “better,” resulting in a lower
level of “mutual suspision,” comes a
little oddly, in the light of recent
events, from a defected high official
of the Communist Party of Poland.
But it was a paragraph near the end
of the article that really caught my
eye:
“As now formulated,” it begins,
“Reagan’s policies offer the new
Soviet leaders only confrontation or
capitulation. If, as sometimes ap-
pears, the Reagan administration
believes that, owing to the nature of
the Soviet system, Soviet foreign
policies cannot be modified in the
direction of a modicum of coex-
istence with the West, then
American foreign policy is nothing
other than an instrument for
creating the best possible conditions
for inevitable war between East and
West.”
That, course, is pure balderash.
Essentially it is just a long-winded
professorial version of the old for-
mula for appeasement: “We must
either coexist or co-die.” The pro-
blem is not what “the Reagan ad-
minstration believes,” or how it
behaves; the problem is “the nature
of the Soviet system.”
Apparently realizing this belated-
ly, the authors face up to it at last:
“There is one question that must be
forthrightly posed by American
policymakers. Are peace and
regulated competition with the
Soviet Union possible without
substantial change in the Soviet
system? Most American specialists
on the Soviet Union would answer
with a clear ‘Yes, it is possible.’
Would President Reagan and his ad-
visers agree?”
Here we are at last told bluntly
that “most American specialists on
the Soviet Union” (including, of
course, the two authors) are wedded
lock, stock and barrel to the proposi-
tion that peaceful coexistence with
Russia, under its present leadership,
is a safe and dependable option for
the United States. Maybe it is, and
maybe not. But Mr. Reagan and his
advisers would be foolhardy inded —
precisely as Carter and Nixon Kiss-
inger were foolhardy — to build any
such assumption into the founda-
tions of American foeign policy. And
this country is ill-served by
academic “specialists” who would
push them in that direction.
Nobody—certainly not Seweryn
Bialer, who has good reason to know
better—can guarantee the peaceful
intentions of the Soviet Union, or
predict with confidence how it will
respond to either carrots or sticks.
The steady hum of appeasement
propaganda arising from the
academic swamps is one of the prin-
cipal reasons that Soviet power is
being asserted successfully today
from Afghanistan to Central
America and from southern Africa
to Vietnam and Cambodia—not to
mention Professor Bialer’s native
Poland. We are lucky indeed to have
at last an administration that is wise
enough to understand that.

The female goat is odorless.
Thing about the mating ritual of frogs is they like
privacy. Spectator frogs thereabouts inhibit them.
The wife fixes to meals in her kitchen for every one
meal her husband buys for her in a restaurant. That’s said
to be typical of the traditional family, not yet extinct.
Unmarried women in Kenya’s Nairobi reportedly art-
lobbying for a new law to require all husbands there to
wear wedding rings. They’ve been triched too many
times, they say. by errant husbands who love them and
leave them. Our lx»ve and War man understands their
plight, but does not support the proposed ordinance.
Says he: You cannot legislate fooling around.
HEADS OF SNAKES
Q. How do you account for the law in Klamath Falls.
Ore., which makes it illegal there to kick the heads off
snakes?

FOR THREE TEARS NOW...
A. Town originally had boardwalks. Snakes stuck their
heads up through knotholes. Sporting pedestrians zapped
the snakes, so messed up the walks. Civic officials didn't
much like it.
9- Are there still Mafia killings in Italy?
A. About one per day. correspondents say.
Q. Who's that beautiful blonde with Mickey Spillane and
all those ex-athletes in the beer commercial on TV?
A. Lee Meredith is the lady's name. Probably the most
widely seen anonymous woman in the world, that one. Or
maybe not. Those nameless nurses that run uphill toward
the camera at the outset of each ’ M*A*S»H" show are
seen by quite a many, too.
