| Buffeted Pledge Of Allegiance V
In a recent magazine article, James E. Allen,
former U. S. Commissioner of Education, proposed
the following revised version of the Pledge of Al-
legiance:
“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United
States of America and dedicate myself to the prin-
ciple that the Republic for which it stands shall
be in truth one Nation, under God, indivisible, with
liberty and justice for all.”
Soon afterward, the executive committee of the
National Education Association recommended that
the association endorse Allen’s version and urge
its adoption by Congress and the pubic schools.
Then just the other day in Washington, delegates
to the White House Conference on Children were
asked to approve this revision:
“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United
States of America and the Republic for which it
stands, and dedicate myself to the task of making
it one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty
and justice for all.”
Except for the addition of the nine words be-
tween "stands” and “nation” the pledge would
remain essentially as it was written by Francis
Bellamy in 1892.
A natural first reaction is to ask: Why? The
pledge has been good enough for generations of
Americans for 78 years. Why change it now?
The answer is that apparently it is no longer
good enough for a new generation, which seeks to
“tell it like it is.” The traditional pledge has be-
come a subject of controversy and even court cases
because of the refusal of some students, and some
teachers, too, to recite it in the classroom.
The United States does not, they argue, neces-
sarily enjoy God’s favor in all its undertakings.
It is not indivisble, as the dissent which racks
our socitey testifies. There is not liberty and jus-
tice for all men, all the time. Rather, these con-
ditions and qualities are goals that we should as-
pire to.
All of this may strike many people as, at best,
mere quibbling over semantics and, at worst an
attempt to divide us even more than we are al-
ready divided. Yet how many of us, when reciting
the pledge, do so in a ritualistic, absent - minded
way, scarcely thinking about what we are saying?
Both of the proposed revisions at least have the
virtue of putting it squarely up to the individual
to “pledge myself” to the principle or the task of
helping make Americain fact—one nation, under
God. indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
The pledge is not sacrosanct. Bellamy’s original
words, “my flag,” were changed in the 1920s to
“the flag of the United States of America.” In
1954, Congress saw fit to insert the words, “under
God.”
These latest suggestions for perfecting the pledge
ought not to be dismissed out of hand.

Dear Dr. Lamb — What is
albuminuria due to and how
can it be cured?
Dear Reader — Albumin is
one of the natural • occurring
proteins of the bloodstream.
Normally very small amounts
of it are lost in the urine each
day. When the amount lost is
increased it becomes abnormal
and is called albuminuria.
There are many causes from
an infection of the kidney or
urinary tract to defects in the
kidney caused by many dif-
ferent diseases, including heart
failure. It is sometimes caused
by mechanical factors related
to standing upright. Treatment
depends upon what is causing
it.

WASHINGTON — Sam Hous-
ton Johnson has hinted that his
famous brother, Lyndon, might
try to return to the White
House to 1972. Initmates agree
that the former President
doesn’t like some of the lead-
ers who are speaking for the
Democratic party and maneu-
vering for the presidential nom-
ination.
He believes Ted Kennedy,
George McGovern, William
Fulbright and the other Senate
doves are repudiating the for-
eign policy and world leader-
ship provided by Democratic
Presidents since World War II.
Even the more moderate Sena-
tor Ed Muskie, in his cam-
paign for the nomination, is
edging too far to the left to
suit LBJ.
Johnson will be 64 in 1972,
five years old than Richard
Nixon but no older than Harry
Truman was during the 1948
campaign. But LBJ, who has
already suffered one heart at-
tack, has expressed private
apprehension over his longev-
ity. In discussing his future
with intimates, he has remark-
ed that long life doesn't run
in his family.
Those who know LBJ say he
would rather be a kingmaker
than attempt a comeback him-
self. They believe he would
dearly like to install his close
friend and political protege,
John Connally, in the White
House. For Connally is cast
in the LBJ image. a carbon
copy politically of the old mas-
ter.
But even with Johnson’s sup-
port, Connally has small chance
of ever winning the Democra-
tic presidential nomination. In-
timates assert that LBJ has

Advice From
A Physician
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M. D.
(NEA)
Dear Dr. Lamb — My bus-
band and I have been mar-
ried for nearly 50 years but
I am thinking very seriously
of leaving him. He takes no
interest in anything except sex.
He will not play cards, golf,
go fishing or any of the other
things that men of his age
seem to enjoy. He takes no in-
terest in local affairs or in
politics or in his neighbors. I
am miserable for hours after
love - making. Is this obses-
sion an indication of approach-
ing senility?
Dear Reader — N°, I doubt
that his problem is senility. Per-
haps he just doesn’t care for
cards, golf or fishing. Some
men don’t. Incidentally, there
are a lot of women your age
who would love to have that
kind of a husband. Iget many
letters from women with just
the opposite complaint.
Sex is not to be ashamed
of or hidden. It is part of nor-
mal life and function. Perhaps
you really need medical atten-
tion, not a new husband. Your
doctor or gynecologist could
help you. Perhaps some local
treatment and female hormone
would relive the problem for
both of you.
Age is not a barrier to sex
and it is one way of expressing
love for another person. I think
it is wonderful that after 50
years of marriage your hus-
band loves you that much.
Dear Dr. Lamb — I am in
my 50s. Do you know of any
kind of cream or powder that
I can get to cover up my
wrinkles. Boy, I got them and
I sure would be happy if you
could help me.
Dear Reader — Other than
make-up to cover up wrinkles
I am afraid you won't have
too much success. You can
spend a fortune on lotions and
creams billed to cure wrinkles.
The oily ones often cause other
problems In this age of wigs,
false eyelashes, straightening of
the teeth and many other cos-
metic procedures there is real-
ly no reason to hesitate about
having cosmetic plastic sur-
gery if you need it. The only
problem is to stay out of the
hands of the quacks. You can
avoid this by getting from your
county medical society the
name of one or more reputable
plastic surgeons who do cosme-
tic surgery. It is expensive but
in the long run it may be
cheaper than creams.
Of course, some people wear
their wrinkles proudly as badg-
es of experience.
evidently heading upward tow-
ard 6 per cent.
Inflation, despite previous
announcements that it was be-
ing laid to rest, was continuing
to gnaw away at the consum-
er’s pocketbook at an unabated
rate.
The nation’s industrial pro-
duction had fallen of 7 per cent
by the end of October, in a
15-month slide. Not only were
corporate profits down; both
bosses and their employes were
going broke at an alarming
rate.
Personal bankruptcies were
averaging 3,730 a week, legal
reports showed, while Dun &
Bradstreet figures showed busi-
ness failures had averaged 20*
a week during 1970.
The stock market was reel-
ing under the heaviest pound-
ing it had taken since the '30s.
At least 100 brokerage firms
had gone under. Ex-Wall Street
brokers were driving cabs.
In this cheerless economic
climate, John Q. had zipped
up his pocketbook, and cut
back drastically on credit buy-
ing. Consumer installment debt
took an $82-million drop in
October—the first in a decade.
Then, as the year drew to
a close, it began to look as if
there were some nice things
under the Christmas tree for
the U. S. economy.
Washington cut interest rates,
for the second time in three
weeks.
Banks across the country re-
duced the “prime rate” (inter-
est charged to blue - chip busi-
ness borrowers).
Interest on FHA -insured
home mortgages was reduced
from a maximum of 8% per
cent to 8.
Major banks cut interest
rates on consumer installment
loans.
The stock market sprang to
life and capped a period of
upward surges with the heav-
iest trading day in its 178-year
history.
Did it all mean we were real-
ly turning the comer from Re-
cession Street into Prosperity
Avenue? Is '71 going to be a
good ... or just a so-so
year ... or something worse?
With special attention to the
consumer and his pocketbook,
we’ll take a look in five suc-
ceeding columns at the factors
likely to affect, in 1971, prices
of consumer goods, employment
prospects, personal income,
money for borrowers and sav-
ers, finances of the home-own-
er and the would-be homeown-
er, and taxes.

Unemployment.)
MEM
guided him instead into Presi-
dent Nixon's Cabinet. Connally
accepted the appointment as
Secretary of the Treasury, they
say, with Johnson’s quiet ad-
vice and consent
This opens the door for John-
son himself to join the Nixon
team. If an unacceptable lib-
eral wins the 1972 Democratic
nomination and if Nixon would
accept Connally as his running
mate, LBJ might come out for
Nixon in 1872 and lead conser-
vative Democrats into bolting
the party.
—$79,000 Cameras—
The Defense Department has
been cutting back expenditures
so sharply that GIs are short of
replacement parts for their
jeeps and maintenance supplies
for their barracks.
But Assistant Defense Secre-
tary Roger Kelley is trying to
squeeze $79,000 out of the bud-
get for a brace of color TV
cameras. He is eager to tape
Pentagon propaganda in living
color for the Armed Forces
Television Network.
Given the new emphasis on
economy, however, the budget
shrinkers consider Kelley's
cameras nonessential. They
turned down his request, to
quote a confidential memo, “in
light of congressional criticism”
of the number of communica-
tions devices already "control-
led by the Secretary of De-
fense.”
Undaunted. Kelley has now
appealed over the heads of the
budget boys. His deputy, Vice
Adm. W. P. Mack, contended
in a return memo that ‘“tele-
vision cameras certainly do not
fall In this category.”
While Kelley is maneuvering
to get new color TV cameras,
incredibly, the Air Force is
closing down its color studio
at Andrews Air Force Base not
far from the Pentagon. If the
short ride to Andrews is too
inconvenient for Kellev, there
are other Air Force color facili-
ties only a few steps away in
the Pentagon itself.
In any case, most stations
on the Armed Forces Televi-
sion Network aren’t equipped to
show color tapes.
—Fideetv Hoover—
J. Edgar Hoover’s rise from
an obscure bureaucrat to an
omnipotent crimebuster, whose
name is familiar to every
American, can be attributed
partly to his bulldog look and
his public relations genius.
There was the celebrated ar-
rest, for example, of Alvin
"Kreepy" Karpis back in 1933.
Hoover was testifying before a
Senate committee when he was
alerted that his agents had
Karpis surrounded in a New
Orleans apartment house.
Hoover barged out of the
hearing and rushed to the air-
port for a plane to New Or-
leans. He was standing near
Karpis’s car when the despera-
do strolled out of the apartment
building. As the racketeer set-
tled behind the steering wheel,
Hoover jabbed his pistol be-
hind Karpis’s ear.
“Well, I guess you’ve got
me,” said Kreepy.
“Put the cuffs on him, boys,”
snapped Hoover.
There was an embarrassing
search for handcuffs; no one
had any. Kreepy Karpis, Pub-
lic Enemy No. 1, was finally
led to justice with his hands
bound by a necktie. That tie,
along with other mementoes of
the war against crime, occupies
FBI’s museum.
Our FBI - style investigation
of Hoover indicates, however,
he is no longer the gun-toting,
staccato - talking, fearless foe
of crime and communism that
his press notices would have
the public believe.
He is the only government
official, except for the Presi-
dent himself, to rate a bullet-
proof limousine. Maxine Ches-
hire, the Washington Post’s so-
ciety sleuth, declares that Hoov-
er rides slouched down in one
corner of the car while his
hat is propped up in another
corner as adecoy to draw pos-
sible hostile fire.
A youth with shoulder-length
hair, who lives in Hoover's
neighborhood said the FBI chief
seems nervous about him. The
youth told us that when he is
around, Hoover won't leave his
bulletproof Cadillac. The G-man
and his chauffeur just sit in
the car until the youth has
moved up the street.
At times of civil disorders,
plainsclothesmen park in un-
marked cars in the neighbor-
hood and read newspapers in-
terminably. Indeed, neighbors
say that two men park in front
of Hoover’s house almost every
day after Hoover leaves and
go inside the house. They ap-
pear to be security men. .
The Lighter
Side—
By DICK WEST
WASHINGTON (UPI) -
There are 1,040 players in the
National Football League. By
my calculation, compiled during
a weekend in front of the
television set, 934 of them are
“unsung heroes.”
I arrived at this figure by
taking the number of players
identified as unsung heroes in
four games and then multiply-
ing that by the number of
teams in the league, divided by
the number of play-by-play
announcers and analysts.
The presence of so many
unsung heroes on the screen
gave my heart a wrench, and
as the games wore on I began
to try to think of some way to
sing them.
At halftime, during the first
game Sunday afternoon, I even
went so far as to compose a
song about them:
And Here It Is
“Sing a song of unsung
heroes;
“Publicity-wise, a string of
zeroes.
“How sad it is to be heroic
“And not have anybody but a
television announcer know it.
“So lift your voice to the
highest rung,
“And let no hero remain
unsung.”
(These lyrics should be sung
to the tune of Bach’s third
cantata ffor zither and chorus,
Opus 23, in D sharp minor.)
Sometimes an outsider can
see things more clearly than a
person who is personally
involved. Therefore, I audi-
tioned the song for my wife,
who is very unemotional about
football, other than hating it a
lot.
“It doesn’t scan, crazyth-
ighs,” she said, addressing me
by one of my nicknames. “And
besides that, if you sing about
an unsung hero, he won’t be
unsung any longer, and all of
those sports announcers will be
unable to identify 934 players.”
Could Call Them ‘Sung”
“Well, they could start calling
them ‘sung’ heroes,” I said, but
I knew deep down that it
wouldn't work.
At the next time out, and
again while the referee was
giving the two-minute notice, I
blitzed my brains for othre
ways to honor unsung heroes.
The idea I finally came up
with is an NFL Unsung Hero
All-Star team. Plus an unsung
hero “Hall of Fame” in which
the busts of football’s most
eminent nonentities would be
preserved.

What’s the 1971 outlook for
the consumer and his pocket-
book?
You hear one answer if you
listen to the official voice of
Washington, another if you have
your ear to the ground in Wall
Street, perhaps yet another
along Main Street where the
butcher, the baker and all the
rest ply their trades — and
where John Q. Public foots the
bills.
In fact, as best the more
reliable indicators can be sort-
ed out, it adds up to a mixed
picture. Amid some definitely
hopeful omens pointing to a
brighter '71, there are indica-
tions that we’re in for some
more of the same.
Just a year ago, when the
optimists were still sure it
couldn't happen, we said in this
column it was “increasingly
clear that the U. S. economy
may be heading into a reces-
sion,” with the question “not
so much whether as how much.
Now we know how much:
Latest figures, at this writ-
ing, show that in the past 12
months the ranks of the unem-
ployed have swelled by 1,-
421,000. All together, 4.25 mil-
lion workers are out of jobs,
with the unemployment rate—
at its highest in 7% years—
