EDUCATION PROGRAM

Identifying The Disarmers
The organized campaign to
scuttle President Nixon’s plan
to develop and establish the
first two installations of an
anti - ballistic missile (ABM)
system to help safeguard
American security is but a
part of a larger objective —
the one-sided (unilateral)
disarmament of the United
States This is not my conclu-
sion rather it is the opinion
0 some of the most seasoned
newspapermen in Washing-
ton who see what’s happen-
ing unde” their own eyes
Richard Wilson whose syn-
dicated column is published
in newspapers throughout the
netion labels the mammoth
campaign against ABM now
led by several prominent
Senators including the Chair-
man of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee as “anti-military”
“Nothing enrag-
es the antimilitary groups in
Congress more” he wrote in
his May 9 column “than to
be accused of advocating un-
ilateral disarmament This
of course is what they pro-
pose in effect but unilateral
disarmament sounds empty-
headed and it is The Soviet
Union is greatly increasing
its military strength We
would call it a crash program
in this country At the same
time the anti-military groups
in Congress are advocating
reduction in critical military
programs”
Toward Defenselessness
Joseph Alsop another na-
tionally syndicated columnist
writes:
‘The vice of the anti-ABM
crusaders can be very simply
stated They are really talk-
ing about a subject of which
they know nothing whatever:
Namely what the Soviets
may do if they can believe
they enjoy decisive startegic
nuclear superiority The
Soviets are spending tneir
billions on weapons intended
to destroy our delivery sys-
tem And if the delivery sys-
tems can be destroyed by sur-
prise attack (in the absence
of ABM) our thousands of
warheads will of course be
worse than useless Sena-
tor Fulbright and the res' are
in fact asking President
Nixon to take pretty awe in-
spiring risks with the U S
future"
Trusting Soviets
David Lawrence Editor of
U S News & World Report
is deeply disturbed over U
S disarmament “High rank-
ing members of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee”
and certain Representatives
and Senators are “obsessed
with the notion that the
world 'has changed and that
there is no longer any danger
of a big war Other members
of the legislative body be-
lieve they can win votes back
home by favoring the argu-
ora's

ments of the pacifists
Much of this agitation is
stirred up through Commu-
nist techniques
“Unfortunately when a na-
tion exhibits weakness
when there is clear evidence
of a divided public opinion
the enemy decides the time
is opportune The Com-
munists are tempted to take
more and more chances
Eventually this could plunge
us into a nuclear war
Adequate defense today may
be expensive but we have
no etier choice than to pro-
tect ourselves”

military establishment
U S policies of the 1960s
have actually helped the
USSR to close the gap in
military strength The con-
cept that parity in weapons
is a stabilizing and desirable
political factor that Russia
would not develop new wea-
pons if we did not and that
the technological revolution
had reached a plateau found
receptive audiences among
scientists civilian experts in
the Pentagon and State De-
partment and some politi-
cians Because of these falla-
cious assumptions we have
not attempted to meet the
rapid Soviet increases in
strength with adequate re-
sponses of our own There
has been a marked tendency
in Washington to under-estimate
or downgrade the po-
tental enemy”
The “Parity with the Ene-

cently retired chairman of
the U S Joint Chiefs of
Staff General Nathan F

suicide” Citizens should en-

A Vietnam Poem
by A Marine in Vietnam
Take a man and put him alone
Put him 12000 miles from home
Empty his heart of all but blood
And make him live in sweat and blood
This is the life I had to live
And away my soul to the Devil I give
You peace-boys rant from easy chair
You don't know what itfs like over there
You protest and march at dawn
Then paint your signs on the White House
lawn
Use your drugs and have your fun
Then refuse to lift a gun
I hate you to the day I die
You made me see my buddy die
I saw his arm a bloody shred —
Then I heard' em say " This one's dead"
It's quite a price he had to pay
Not to live another day
He paid the price but what did he buy?
He bought your life by losing his
But who gives a damn what a soldier gives
His wife does and maybe his sons
But they are about the only ones —

Oklahoma Is barely holding
Its own In state highway con-
struction but is rapidly com-
pleting its 4-lane interstate
roads
The state Is out of the mud
which plagued motorists for so
long with only 667 miles of the
12036 on the system no having
some type of paving Thousands
of those surfaced miles are In-
adequate with bad bridges
dangerous curves and so-called
death traps The communities
will have to await their turn
for Improvements
The answer Is more money
for roads but It isn’t foreseeable
in the present state financial
picture The pressure Isn’t as
great for highway funds as It
once was More of our tax reve-
nue Is going for common schools
and higher education
Oklahoma isn’t gaining or
losing in the overall adequacy
of its highway system (eports
Verne O Bradley assistant di-
rector of planning and research
for the state hlghwa commis-
sion The system Is rated 74 per
cent adequate which Is t gain
ot only 2 percent over the 1854
rating
Along with the overall ays-
tem the state is developing
good interstate roads The 808
mile Interstate system will be
completed In 197ft Toll roads
have added to the four-lane
mileage along heavily traveled
routes for faster vehicle move-
ment At the rate of construction
with funds available It will
take 70 vears to brlnR the state
system up to what Is needed
for safety and traffle volume
Bradley said Of course no one
can foresee the amount of trnf-
flo and the kind of roads
which will be required 70 years
from now Conditions would
have to remain constant In or-
der to bring up the present sys-
tem Bradley explains the overall
situation as follows: "If some-
Health Notes-’
STOP LOOK AND THINK
Summer is the time for va-
cation travel and millions of
people are on the highways
Let us suppose that you are
among them and there is a
grinding crash on the high-
way just in front of you
People are injured trapped
in the wreckage and you
would like to help This is
the classic emergency situa-
tion where the injured need
help right now What will
you do?
Take this tip from the
British Navy Whenever an
emergency arises the “still”
whistle is blown Every Bri-
tish Navy man is taught to
stop look and think when-
ever he hears that whistle
He is to stop whatever he
is doing look the situation
over and then decide his best
course of action The British
have found that this mo-
ment to think has saved
hundreds if not thousands
of lives
The “still” whistle idea
will work in any emergency
situation Taking a moment
to think will seldom add to
the damage and will usually
lessen it
Take the car wreck as an
example Whenever a person

one would write a
what is needed to
roads to standards required to-
day it would be for 82 8 bil-
lions It would take 20 years
to do the lob Of course the
traffic requirements for roads
will be far greater in 20 years”
Roads with demands from
all section of the state were
dominant In the political pic-
ture for 30 years Candidates
for governor and administra-
tions put roads first More at-
tention Is being ceutered on
common schools and higher ed-
ucation because more extensive
education Is needed today plus
a greater number of students
increase In salaries and all
other costs Highway construc-
tion has been affected also by
Inflation It costs about twice
as much as It did a few years
ago to built a mile ot roa This
is because of Improved stand-
ards are rising costs
The highway department re-
ceives earmarked funds which
will be 648037000 tor the fis-
cal year beginning July 1 and
19932000 In general fund ap-
propriations for a total of 57-
969000 It will take an esti-
mated 29980000 of that for
administration and mainte-
nance leaving 627989000 for
construction
Money for Interstate lake
park and Industrial access roads
will take 64402000 leaving
823787000 which with federal
funds will make 643 818000 Of
that 33408000 will go on the
Interstate system and 120410-
000 will be left tor the regular
system
The Interstate money with
the fedeml government furnish-
ing 60 to 10 percent by the
state will enable the depart-
ment to complete pavtng 1-38
south to the Toxaa Una and
contract for by-passes on 1-40
at Savre Elk city Hinton and
Canute Also there will be ad-
ditional grading and drainage

bring the
is injured and trapped inside
an automobile the usual re-
action is to get them out as
soon as possible However
if the person has a back in-
jury the slighest movement
may kill or permanently in-
jure them
Here a momer: to think
may save a life or prevent
additional suffering The pos-
sibility of additional injury
must be considered carefully
However if the car is burn-
ing or leaking gasoline it is
obvious that the injured per-
son must be removed imme-
diately and the risk of the
greater injury may be worth
while
In any emergency stop
look think and follow a few
simple rules: '
1 Make sure the victim is
out of the immediate danger
of additional injury
2 Call the proper authority
3 Keep the victim warm
comfortable and still
4 Let the professionals
handle the situation when
they arrive
5 Use what first-aid know-
ledge you have to aid the vic-
tim but leave medical treat-
ment up to the physicians

Bradley said aoout lib miles
of new roads will be added to
the regular system iy the con-
struction program next fiscal
year Normally 230 miles of
roads wear out each -ear and
have to be replaced or repaired
Delegations still pour in to
plead with the highway com-
mission for roads out the de-
mands are not as heated as
they usee to be and there Isn’t
the favoritism for certain legis-
lators that was formerly prac-
ticed The commission Is still
susceptible to pressure but not
like It was
The iont range programming
of projects has helped With the
interstate highway construction
and toll roads there it less cry-
ing from metropolitan areas
Legislative reapportionment has
also lessened some of the pres-
sure and Influence of rural leg-
islators Road building will be an Is-
sue In the 1970 governor’s race
The demand for roads will
figure in the oressur to s ma-
jor tax Increase All effort to

highways have failed A pro-
posal In the last session ot tho
legislature for a 8100 million

The state has moved a long
way In Its pay-as-you go plan
since the cries “to get out of
the mud” 40 years ago Okla-
homa has never had an ade-
quate system and notably will
not during the lifetime of any-
one now living
Improvements must be made
but the state will get only
what It Is willing to jay tor

68 miles are still under 80
