If President Nixon had acted
sooner to call the commission
together, Congress might have
been able to slip the raise
through with a minimum of fuss.
Nixon is not required to send
on the present recommendations
until January. On that time
schedule, Congress, would have
found itself passively okaying a
salary increase in March.
The Senate bill was intended to
force the President to send on
the proposals by Aug. 31. But
with national economy at serious
levels, the House was well ad-
vised to cool it.

Don't Worry About Me
A little colored boy, twelve years old and small for his age,
walked to the center of the large frightening stage. A hush fell
over the crowd as the lights dimmed and a saucer of light formed
around him, making him appear even smaller.
He was dressed in black slacks and shoes, topped with a white
shirt and coat. A black bow tie nestled under his tiny chin.
With a professional air of confidence he calmly accepted the
mike offered to him. To the musicians he gave a slight nod of his
head. Walking to the front of the stage, he threw back his
shoulders and sang for all to hear, "When I Head For My
Heavenly Home, Don’t Worry About Me."
Never have I heard so much from such a small source. I don't
know if by educated standards he was good or not and really
don't care. To me, he was the best. I was thrilled to the bottom of
my soul. Three times he returned for an encore, each time with a
standing ovation.
He was too young to have given much serious thought to the
words he sang, but I got the message. It made no difference that
tus skin was somewhat darker than mine. He had won my heart
Here stood a tiny gift to the world from the heart of God.
As we walk across the great stage of life, wouldn’t it be
wonderful if we could throw back our shoulders with confidence
and sing out for all the world to hear, "When I Head For My
Heavenly Home Don't Worry About Me." If we're willing, God
can write the music.

WASHINGTON - The
Navy bombed and burned
more than 1,200 acres of the
Ocala National Forest in
Florida and then, Cambodia-
style, falsified the reports.
Despite the disastrous
fires, the Navy continued to
explode live bombs in a
preserve which the U.S For-
est Service describes as the
biggest recreation attraction
of any national forest in the
East
A confidential General Ac-
counting Office field in
vestigation found that, dur-
ing March 1972, the Navy
dropped 421 live 500-pound
bombs on its Pinecastle test
range in the Ocala forest
On March 25. a hail of 56
bombs ignited a fire that
burned 600 acres of the na-
tional forest Two days later.
24 more bombs started an-
other fire which spread from
the testing grounds into the
park, destroying 620 addi
t ional acres.
The Navy claimed in its
environmental report that
"permission was granted by
the appropriate officials as
the fire potential index was
not at a level sufficiently
high to halt operations."
This is disputed by the
GAO, which found the fire po-
t e n 11 a I index wasn't
developed until after the
March fires.
Again, the Navy's May 1973
environmental impact state-
ment claimed that, “after the
fires, the use of live ordnance
was discontinued." On the
contrary, the GAO will
charge that 655 live 500
pound bombs and 242 250
pound bombs were dropped
on the test range between
April 1972 and May 1973
in Jacksonville, Fla.. Navy
Capt. E. W ingley confirmed
to us that live ordnance "cer-
tainly" was used but insisted
that it amounted to no more
than "two or three per cent of
the total practice ordnance ”
He also stressed that the
Navy takes "elaborate safety
precautions" when using live
ordnance "Naval aviation is
national security," he added
As late as last month, how-
ever, Rep Bill Gunter, Il-
Fla.. protested that bomb
drops on July 18 had "need-
lessly frightened 250
youngsters at one children's
camp in the forest."
The freshman from
Florida called for the GAO
probe after he had a personal
experience with the falling
bombs. While he was deliver-
ing a speech in the Eustis
Civic Center near the forest,
the building began to shake
from the shock waves of the
exploding bombs.
Tapes Stalemater Sources
close to the Supreme Court
suggest that the vote on the
controversial White House
tapes could end in a tie.
Justice William Rehnquist,
whose vote might break the
tie. may have to disqualify
himself, they say.
Eisenhower and other leaders of
the nation paid a solemn parting
tribute to Sen. Robert A. Taft at
a state funeral in the stone
rotunda of the national capitol.
Temporary chairs for 900 were
in place for the President and
Mrs. Eisenhower and other
notables. . . Seven persons
perished when fire swept
through a second story hotel on
the Texas side of Texarkana,
Tex. Four other persons were
injured, two critically, in the fire
of unknown origin.
Nothing New
The principle of jet pro-
pulsion was discovered about
100 B.C. by Hero in Alex-
andria. This was used 2,000
years later to help make jet
planes.

Cites ‘organic
food syndrome’
A poorly educated generation ot food buyers may be devel-
oping an organic food syndrome warns a nutritionist
1 ritics charge that the use of pesticides and the way foods
are processed commercially are polluting our internal ecol-
ogy Y el many of the chemicals people are concerned about
ocur naturally in foods points out Theodore Labuza of the
( niversity ot Minnesota When these compounds are added
to other foods they become additives
I here is a long list of foods containing compounds that can
be toxic to humans Examples are potatoes raw eggs spin-
ach cabbage and brussels sprouts
Every food additive including salt, is toxic to the human
body at some level ol ingestion says Labuza
However whether a toxic substance is present in food
naturally or added in processing it does not harm everyone
who eats it What matters is the amount eaten by the con-
sumer and the ablity of his body to break down the com-
pound
Worried about commercially processed food more and
more Americans want to return to the good old days when
almost everybody home-processed his food But frequently
inexperienced home canners expose themselves to botulism
a form of food poisoning
in the past three years says this nutritionist, because of
the return-to-the-land spirit botulism incidents have doubled
every year Currently about 10 people die annually from bo-
tulism in foods canned in home kitchens
in contrast. the food industry has processed 800 billion
cans of food in 20 years with a total of four botulism deaths
reported
For those of us who don t want the risk ot added chemi-
cals in our food organically grown foods should be available.
Labuza agrees But an organic label doesn t guarantee free-
dom from residues
Moreover he says the rate of loss of nutrients in unpro-
cessed food is higher than in processed food Thus the pur-
< baser may actually be getting poorer nutrition than he
could get from a supermarket
What's in a (misleading) name?
You d think that a series of events of such drama and
magnitude as those which took place in the United States
between 1861 and 1865 would have a commonly accepted
name
in the North it s the Civil War and in the South the
war Between the States Actually neither one is accurate
but reflects the philosophy of those who prefer it. notes
Strategy & Tactics a magazine of war gaming or conflict
simulation
I he northern name is a poor one, it says, because a civil
war is a struggle for control of the body politic The South
did not want to control the Union if wanted to leave it
The southern name on the other hand, is also poor Aside
from being bad grammatically it implies that the states
have a sovereign existence The war was really a struggle
between a group of southern states and a centralized Union
1 Hher names which once enjoyed more or less popularity
but which are now oddities are Mr Lincoln's War. the
war to Suppress Yankee Arrogance the War for South-
ern Independence (which it was) and the "War of the
Slaveholders Rebellion which it also was i
Nor is the most logical and accurate name of all — the

The Supreme Court is ex-
pected to rule, in the end. on
whether President Nixon
must surrender his secret
White House tapes to Special
Prosecutor Archibald Cox
and the Senate Watergate
Committee. The case is now
awaiting action in the lower
courts.
Rehnquist’s law clerk.
Robert Wild, conceded to us
that "there definitely will be
a question" whether the
justice should participate in
the decision. "He hasn't said
a word about it," said Wild
"I'm not sure whether he's
even looked into it, so there's
no decision one way or the
other."
The aide stressed it would
be "a personal decision "
Rehnquist would have to con
sider his past national securi-
ty activities as a Justice
Department official and his
close association with key
figures involved in the case
During his Senate con-
firmation hearings, he said
"My client, in my position as
the assistant attorney gener-
al for the Office of the Legal
Counsel, is the attorney gen-
eral and the President"
Supreme Court sources say
the case of the White House
tapes involved not only
eavesdropping but executive
privilege Rehnquist worked
on both questions while he
was at the Justice Depart-
ment

And Man
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press International
“There is no joy in Mudvil-
le,” said a recent editorial in a
Catholic newspaper. “Catholics
have struck out in their
campaign to find a way to
channel substantial amounts of
public funds to struggling
parochial schools."
That probably is a correct
appraisal of the impact of
rulings handed down last month
by the Supreme Court declaring
unconstitutional New York and
Pennsylvania laws allowing tax
credits and tuition reimburse-
ments for parents who send
their children to parochial
schools.
The language used by the
Court’s 6-3 majority in these
rulings was so sweeping it is
difficult to see how any other
legislative approach to public
succor of parochial education
would have any chance of being
held constitutional.
Some Catholic officials still
cling to hope the court might
accept some kind of voucher
plan under which all parents
would receive a government
voucher for the education of
each child. These vouchers
could be used to send a child to
a public school, a parochial
school, or a non church-related
private school, as his parents
chose.
Some Deep Misgivings
But lawyers who have studied
the June 25 rulings have serious
doubts whether a voucher plan
would even get a hearing by
the Court. The opinion said
rather bluntly that it would be
pointless for state legislatures
to continue devising clever
legal formulas to try to get
around the Court’s basic edict-
reiterated several times in the
past two years—that public
money must not be used to
support religious education,
directly or indirectly.
Another possibility under
discussion among Catholics is a
drive for a constitutional
amendment to authorize public
aid to parochial schools. But
there are deep misgivings
whether such an amendment
could win the necessary ratifi-
cation by three-fourths of the 50
state legislatures. Moreover,
many highly placed Catholics
feel they already have their
hands full in this area with the
current drive for an amend-
ment to legalize state restric-
tions on abortion.
"Perhaps some constitutional
genius will come up with a new
way out, but at this point it is
hard to imagine what new legal
avenues remain to be ex-
plored," says the Catholic
magazine Commonweal. "That
being so, it is essential that
American religious leaders face
the new situation squarely.
There is no point in dreaming
any longer about federal or
state action to bail out the
parochial school system."
Commonweal urges Catholics
to turn their energies to full
utilization of the alternative
methods of religious education
that still are available. These
include after-hours religious
classes (so-called released-time
programs) and dual enrollment
of children in public and
parochial schools (usually
called shared-time programs.)
School Enrollment Declines
Neither plan has encountered
court objection. But Catholics
have not energetically explored
these options as long as there
seemed any hope of obtaining
large-scale government support
for traditional parochial school-
ing.
Despite gloomy forecasts
from some Catholic quarters, it
is highly unlikely that the latest
Supreme Court rulings will
"wipe out" America’s parochial
schools.
Although Catholic schools
have declined in number from
14,296 in 1965 to 11,258 this year,
and their enrollment has
shrunk from 6,095,846 to
4,243,788 over the same period,
they still constitute the world’s
largest private educational sys-
tem.
The parochial school system
was created when American
Catholics were far less affluent
than they are now. Keeping
their church schools in business
solely with private support may
entail costly sacrifices. But it
still appeals to millions of
Catholic families as a better
alternative than allowing their
children to grow up in religious
illiteracy.

It was in 1967 that Congress
created the special “citizens
commission” which reviews and
makes salary decisions.
Cleverly, Congress took itself
out of the paymaster role. All the
commission has to do is send its
recommendations to the
President. The recom-
mendations are for Congress,
federal judges and top govern-
ment officials, some 5,000 in aD.
The President then can change
those recommendations. But
what he sends to Congress for
approval does not need action.
There is no up or down vote
required. Congress has 30-days
to veto the proposals, or they
become law
EaMW]E!
Rep. Morris Udall, D.-Ariz.,
was largely responsible for
writing the pay commission
legislation. Watching his
brainchild suffer, the
congressman was distressed and
said he could not understand the
fuss.
He said no man should be
aDowed to fix his own pay and
Congress should not be forced to
stand up and vote on the matter.
Well, the Constitution
demands that Congress control
government purse strings. And
that means aD branches of the
government

sobriety prevaDed this week
when the House refused to pass a
Senate measure that would have
speeded pay raises for Congress
and other high federal officials.
The Senate bill would have
aDowed the President to take
action on a recommended hike
which would have boosted
members' salaries by $12,500 a
year.
The last pay raise Congress
got was in 1969 when salaries
jumped from $30,000 per year to
the present $42,500.
Based on regular pay boosts
for federal employees the
proposed increase is below the
norm, and is only five per cent
more than cost-of-living in-
creases for the past three years.
But House members quickly
realized the foDy before them.
Elections are next year and
campaigning is only months
away. It would be difficult to
convince working people that
more money than many of them
make in a year is necessary to
support senators and
representatives above the
poverty level.
The President’s delay raises
the thought that he managed a
deUberate one-upmanship.
He has put political pressure
on Congress. Members can
either tell constituents they
favor or don’t favor a raise,
come election time. There will
be no way to get around it.
Also, it looks like the President
has saved taxpayers a con-
siderable sum. Any
congressman who does not vote
against the raise in March had
better run uncontested.
Financial matters are more
important to the pubUc than
Watergate or Cambodia bom-
bing coverups, and requier a
good deal more common sense.
