People Must Share Costs
The roster of communities beginning to feel the economic bite of
pollution control is growing. As it grows, public realization will grow
that achieving a clean environment entails public responsibility, as
well as the private obligation of businesses and industries. The
Asheville, North Carolina, Times reports on the closing of a
manufacturing operation in Massachusetts. The plant could not
afford to build a $500,000 private waste treatment plant nor could it
join in a municipal sewage treatment project because the town is
served only by septic tanks, and the citizens have resisted municipal
sewage treatment since 1943. As a result, the town lost an $800,000-a-
year payroll. As the Times points out, the payroll of the plant could
have been saved with ".. .a little cooperation from the taxpayers in
the form of a bond issue to build a municipal sewage treatment plant.
When any business is forced to close for environmental reasons,
opportunities, jobs and tax revenue go down the drain. This is the
price that must be paid when the public fails to accept its share of the
responsibility for meeting the environmental clean-up bill.

Question Is, Is
That Junk Junk?
The thing about modern art. or most of the stuff that
is passed off as art. is that there is simply no wav to
judge it
Take the minor tragedy that befell sculptor John
Chamberlain in Chicago the other day Chamberlain is
an "abstract expressionist" who fashioned two 300-pound.
six-foot-high sculptures out of junk metal—twisted auto-
mobile bumpers, crumpled washing machines and the
like—all welded together in an abstractly expressionistic
manner, or expressionistically abstract manner.
Chamberlain valued the sculptures at a total of $20,000
—and who is to gainsay him'.’
At any rate, it seems that one Walter Kelly, owner of
an art gallery, made the mistake of taking the sculptures
outside his warehouse to clean them up for a prospective
buyer
"I had them covered with canvas but the wind blew it
off," said Kelly. "Buildings are being renovated in the
neighborhood and a lot of junkmen are around hauling
things away."
Junkmen Junk sculpture. You've guessed the ending.
Even the offer of a $1,000 reward failed to turn up the
missing works of art
The moral Either, < a) it's too bad we don't have more
esthetically sensitive junkmen in this country or, ib)
sculpture ought to bear characteristics which even to the
untutored eye set it apart from the general run of in-
ventory one finds in a typical junkyard.
Which suggests one test of modern art. If a collision
between an automobile and a brick wall produces a re-
sult indistinguishable from some of the things enshrined
in our museums, then either, (a) auto crashes are a great
art form or, (b) junk sculpture is junk.
Chimpanzees have been known to throw paint around
and come up with abstract canvases that alleged experts
could not tell were not made by human hands So far,
however, no chimp has duplicated anything like Leo-

NEW YORK (UPI) — In the
wake of Watergate, "business-
men dislike uncertain hands on
the economic tiller, the gloom
and doom that's mixed in with
the bullish indicators," Re-
search Institute Recommenda-
tions said. The many policy
vacancies in the regulatory
agencies and the bureaucratic
delay in decision-making has
left some businessmen stranded
without a verdict and others in
a position to capitalize on the
hesitancy affecting all govern-
ment agencies, the letter said.
The Spear Market report says
the "embattled stock market”
has been “rocked by the tight
money blues." It also slipped
on the Watergate affair and
indications the economy is
overheating, the report said.
For the near term, however,
the letter recommends inves-
tors purchase stocks because
“stocks stand out as among the
few things that have substantial
appreciation potential at this
juncture.”

The dismal prognosis of
many economic seers that a
recession is inevitable in late
1973 or 1974 is unwarranted,
according to Blyth Eastman
Dillon & Co. The firm predicts
real growth will slow in 1974 to
a 4 to 4.5 per cent annual pace
and inflation will retreat.
"Profits are likely to rise about
10 per cent in 1974, which
should come on top of an
estimated advance of 20 per
cent this year, according to the
letter.

WASHINGTON - A con-
trite President Nixon told
newsmen on April 30: “Con-
tinue to give me hell when
you think I'm wrong." One
week later, the Justice
Department indicted Boston
Globe reporter Tom Oliphant
for accompanying a mercy
mission, which attempted to
drop food and medicine to
the besieged Indians at
Wounded Knee, S.D.
This appears to be a con-
tinuation of the relentless
assault upon the press by the
government at the same time
that the President’s com-
munications aide, Herb
Klein, is assuring influential
editors: “We want a new
relationship with the press."
Never in the nation’s 200-
year history has there been
such a campaign of jailing,
tailing, tapping, harassment
and vituperation against
reporters. Oliphant’s
mistreatment is merely the
latest in a series of incidents.
Under the U.S. Constitu-
tion, newsmen are supposed
to be free to pursue the news
wherever they can find it.
They have gone into enemy
territory in time of war; they
have taken great personal
risks to keep the public in-
formed.
Mercy Drop
In this spirit, the 27-year-
old Oliphant covered the pre-
parations for a three-plane
mercy drop to the Indian
• militants. Then he went along
on the flight and nearly lost
his life in an accident. He
wrote two exclusive stories
about the event.
But Oliphant writes for the
Boston Globe, a newspaper
which displeases the White
House. FBI agents, under or-
ders from Justice Depart-
ment representatives, ob-
tained a warrant for his ar-
rest.
First, they broke into his
former home near Boston
early in the morning and ter-
rified the occupants who
were still in bed. The FBI
squad departed in confusion
after discovering they had
pounced upon the wrong
house.
Oliphant, meanwhile,
learned the FBI had located
his new home in Washington
and were preparing to des-
cend upon it. While his wife
and three children waited
apprehensively, he rode a
bus downtown and turned
himself in.
Reporter's ’Riot’
On the basis of information
from an informer whom
some of the prosecutors now
doubt, a federal grand jury
was prodded by the Justice
Department to indict
Oliphant. The charge: he
allegedly conspired to pro-
mote a “riot” by raining food
and medicine on the Indians
at Wounded Knee.
The key allegation against
him is that he “had in his
possession $10,000 for use in
obtaining aircraft and food,
medicine and other sup-
plies...." The truth is that the
newsman left to accompany
the mission on such short
notice that he had only eight
dollars in his pocket and a
credit card.
Yet Oliphant faces 15 years
in prison if the Justice
Department can find a jury
to convict him. This is
unlikely, since the prosecu-
tors will have a hard time
finding 12 American citizens
who will convict a newsman
for reporting the news.
The Nixon Administration
tried to nail my associate Les
Whitten on a similar charge.
FBI agents handcuffed and
jailed him while he was
reporting on the return of In-
dian documents to the
government. In Whitten’s
case, the grand jury refused
to believe the FBI and the
Justice Department dis-
missed the charges.
’Improper’
Yet Oliphant was indicted
even though the U.S. attorney
for South Dakota, William
Clayton, a GOP politician and
ex-county prosecutor, had
never even read his stories. In
our talk with Clayton, he said
it would be “improper" for
him to say whether he pushed
through an indictment under
pressure from Washington.
One of the Justice Depart-
ment attorneys handling the
case in Washington is
Richard Vosepka, a former
Marine captain with only one
year of nonmilitary practice.
His attitude toward the press
can best be summed up by
quoting some of his answers
to our questions about the
case.
- "Don’t be pushy," he
snapped.
- “I don’t give a s___ if
that's a legitimate question,"
he responded to another ques-
tion. "I always go through the
chain of command."
- “I'm not going to talk
with you any further," he said
finally.
Among saner heads in the
Administration, there is a
feeling that the Oliphant case
is smearing new egg on the
friendlier face the President
is trying to turn to the press
even before the old egg can
be wiped off.
But at this writing, the case
remains in the hands of those
Nixon disciples who feel the
President is best protected by
locking up the people who
write unfavorable stories.

Advice From
A Physician
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
Dear Dr. Lamb—We have
a small child, almost two
years old, in placement, who
appears to be in good physi-
cal health and mentally alert
but has made no attempt in
speaking. Do you have any
suggestions on how to handle
the situation?
Dear Reader — Children
often do not speak by the
age of 2, in fact, in contact-
ing some of my neurology
colleagues. I am told that
one should not become un-
duly concerned if a child
doesn't talk until he reaches
the age of 4 years. I am told
pediatric neurologists see
many children who are three
years of age and haven't
started talking yet
At the early age of 2 and
3, the important point is to
be certain that the child
does receive language pro-
perly. technically called re-
ceptive language ability. This
means that you can tell that
the child understands what
is said if the child is told
to "wash your hands" there
would be some response, or
if he is told "don't do that”
there would be a proper re-
sponse. There should be
definite evidence that vocal
commands are heard and
understood.
If this is true, the impor-
tant approach is to relax and
not bug the child. Just leave
the child alone and let him
or her play with other
children of the same age
and don't push him. In time
the child will start speaking
normally.
The one common problem
that is important to rule out
is deafness. If the child
shows receptivity of langu-
age and follows commands,
then the child is not deaf. If
there is no response to ver-
bal commands then the pos-
sibility remains that the
problem is really deafness.
It is sometimes difficult to
diagnose deafness in a young
child. One measure is to
take an EEG (electroenceph-
ologram or brain wave I and
then observe any changes
that occur when a loud
noise is made to startle the
child If the child does not
notice the noise, there is
the possibility that he never
heard it. If the brain wave
shows a response then the
hearing is probably intact.
There are other sophistica-
ted tests that neurologists
use to find out if a child is
deaf.
Rarely there are other
problems within the brain in
receiving language and one
must be certain that the
child understands language
as opposed to just hearing
noise. But if there is no
evidence of deafness, and
particularly if receptive lan-
guage is present, you don t
have much to worry about
In extremely rare in-
stances. a child may be born
with some defect of the vo-
cal cords and has a mechan-
ical problem in speaking
After age 4 or certainly
by age 5, if the child does
not start speaking a very ex-
tensive neurological exami-
nation needs to be carried
out But let me repeat again
that for children below 4
years of age who have not
started speaking but are
bright and normal in other
respects and demonstrate
language receptivity, t h e
best thing is to stop worry-
ing about it and let the child
develop normally.
Near-boom business condi-
tions and healthy corporate
profits on the one side and
signs of an overheating econo-
my on the other have created a
market whose behavior is
somewhat paranoid, Alexander
Hamilton Institute said. Despite
the great swings in the
market’s mood in past months,
"downside risk in most quality
issues seems to be limited at
this point," the letter said. It
recommends buying stocks for
the long term.___
The Walston & Co. technical
market letter says some near-
term worries have “crept into
the market” Certain leading
stocks, it notes, have exhibited
"chart patterns that cannot be
considered bullish.” Thus, Wal-
ston belives the stock market
will go through a “backing and
filling” period, perhaps edging
the Dow Jones industrial
average into the 875 to 850
region before long.
Hou- Can I
Q. How can I make a
"stickier” plaster-of-paris?
A. By stirring in evaporated
milk, instead of water.
Q. How can I fill a nail hole in a
plastered wall?
A. Mix equal parts of salt and
starch with just enough water to
make a patching plaster. Then
fill the hole with this and smooth
surface off.
Q How can I remove dark
streaks on a bare floor where
furniture formerly stood?
A. With a soapy cloth dipped in
kerosene.
New Federal budget projec-
tions should lay to rest the
fears of a money-and-credit
crunch that have "haunted
investors in recent months and
probably have made a major
contribution to the decline in
stock prices since early Janua-
ry," Abraham & Co.'s The
Technical Review said. The
projections, reducing the es-
timated U.S. deficit for fiscal
1973 from $12.7 billion to $5.7
billion, suggest no escalation of
current monetary restraints
will be necessary to curb
inflation in the months ahead,
the letter said.

Josip Broz Tito, a man who
likes a good cigar, good whisky
and the company of beautiful
women, has been forced to

Tito, president of Yugoslavia
since 1953 but its acknowledged
leader since the end of World
War H, observes his 81st
birthday Friday.
Early in May he was forced
on doctor's orders to miss a
party conference whose chief
concern was Yugoslavia’s fu-
ture after Tito. It was a process
begun several years ago by
Tito himself to preserve what
he regards as his greatest
monument—the unification of
Yugoslavia.
In recent months the cam-
paign to assure Yugoslav unity
has taken on new impetus

under what Tito has called the
country’s "Revolutionary
Transformation"—a reasserti-
on of party authority over all
phases of Yugoslav life.
Special targets were those
who had benefitted from
corruption within state-owned
industries and trade enter-
prises, party leaders suspected
of autonomous designs within
the various Yugoslav republics
and "neo-Stalinists" seeking to
preserve their own jobs at the
expense of social and economic
reforms.
Accompanying the transfor-
mation were anti-American
undertones directed especially
against the Voice of America
and various publications ac-
cused of provocations and
articles hostile to Yugoslavia.
As Tito underwent his im-
posed rest cure at a Slovenian
mountain retreat, attention
turned to the man who acted as
his spokesman at the party
conference.
He was 47-year-old Stane
Dolanc, secretary of the Yugo-
slav Communist Party Execu-
tive Bureau.
Dolanc, a Slovenian, has had
a meteoric rise and in the last
year has been dose to the
president’s side at all meetings.
By many he is regarded as
Tito’s choice as his successor.
It was Dolanc who explained
to foreign newsmen that Tito
was very tired and had been
ordered to rest. It was the first
public acknowledgment that
Tito was feeling his age.
At the party conference,
Dolanc hit hard at ills which
have beset the Yugoslav
economy. They have resulted in
a slowdown of the economic
growth rate and some worker
dissatisfaction caused by a
lowering of the standard of
living.
