Thoughts For Today
He who restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a
cool spirit is a man of understanding. Even a fool who keeps
silent is considered wise; and when he closes his lips, he is
deemed intelligent —Proverbs 17:27,28.
"This is the great and first commandment. And a second is
like it You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two
commandments depend all the law and the prophets."-

WASHINGTON - Several
prominent Members of Congress
have brought pressure on the
General Services Administra-
tion to violate the law and give
preferential treatment to their
friends for civil service jobs.
The confidential investigative
files of the Civil Service Com-
mission contain reports on 36
Senators and 32 Congressmen
who allegedly pushed GSA to
find jobs for their friends
Federal law strictly prohibits
preferential treatment in civil
service hiring. There is enough
flexibility in the law to permit
Members of Congress to endorse
job applicants. But the selections
are supposed to be made wholly
on merit, without political con-
sideration
Yet the confidential files show
that more than 300 people got
their jobs at GSA through politi-
cal favoritism. In fact, GSA cre-
ated a special unit to handle the
illegal patronage referrals.
Although these violations are
carefully documented, it took
years for the Civil Service Com-
mission to get around to bring-
ing charges against eight GSA
officials. But no action has been
taken against the Members of
Congress, whom the GSA politi-
cal unit served

WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
public got its first glimpse
inside Richard Nixon’s exile at
San Clemente last week and
found the former president
hard at work on the way he
would like to be viewed by
history.
The glimpse came in a 171-
page deposition filed in Nixon’s
suit to obtain custody of the
Watergate tapes and other
presidential documents of his
administration.
The sworn testimony tells
little new about the Watergate
scandal that drove Nixon from
office, but tells much about a
former president trying to gain
a historical perspective on his
years in office.
Nixon the historian is much
present. He recounts how he
spent more time personally
writing his speeches than any
president since Woodrow Wil-
son. Several times he said he
was following the tradition set
by Lyndon Johnson and John F.

I’ll confess that I found this
situation somewhat ambigious.
So I asked a veteran White
House correspondent how the
President determines which hat
he is traveling in.
"It often depends on the
political Weather," my mentor
replied. "Suppose the President
is flying out to Sump City,
Iowa, to address the annual
meeting of the National Lunatic
Fringe.
“Shortly before takeoff, an
aide enters the Oval Office and
informs the President that
according to the latest Galup
Poll his is supported by only six
per cent of the lunatic fringe.
“Since that definitely means
a frosty reception, the Presi-
dent decides to wear his chief
executive hat. Being too big for
him, it will slide down over his
ears and keep them warm
“Or suppose the President is
addressing the National As-
sociation of Right and Left
Wing Nuts. His political weath-
er forecaster tells him there
Will be strong cross-currents at
a gathering of that type. So he
wears his party leader hat,
which adjusts to the wind no
matter which way it is blowing.
"But if he is addressing an
open-minded group, say the
National Association of Fence-
Sitters, climatic conditions
aren’t important. Regardless of
the weather, the President
wears a candidate hat with a
trick lining that he can pull
rabbits out of."

DEAR DR LAMB - Could
you please help me with a cou-
ple of. vitamin questions? Is
vitamin B-2 the complexion
vitamin. and will B-6 realty
help one keep his weight down
as I ve been told9
DEAR READER - Vitamin
B-2 is riboflavin Its most im-
portant role is in the complex
enzyme system that enables you
to tear down your food into car-
bon dioxide and water to
release energy Vitamins are
not energy sources, they func-
tion to enable the body to
release energy from food,
specifically carbohydrates, fats
and proteins
When you have enough for its
important role, taking ad-
ditional amounts will do nothing
for you at all it is like having
enough matches to light a can-
dle. an extra box won t help once
the candle is lit.
Deficiencies of riboflavin are
quite rare, because it is so plen-
tiful in our diet Milk and milk
products are a very rich source
Milk exposed to sunlight loses
part of its riboflavin It is also
present in meat of all kinds,
cereals. including enriched
breads. flour. macaroni and
spaghetti It is in broccoli,
collards and spinach It is hard
to eat anything like a decent
diet without getting enough
riboflavin
if a deficiency does occur it
tends to affect the special areas
of the skin. around the eyes and
the mucous linings as around
the lips
Vitamin B-6, pyridoxine. also
affects the skin and complex-
ion It is involved in enzyme
systems used in metabolism
You get it in meats. vegetables
and cereals, and it is almost im-
possible to have a B-6 deficien-
cy if you eat anything like a
balanced diet or these food
groups
There is absolutely no truth in
the statement that B-6 causes
you to lose weight The truth is
that a deficiency of it might
cause weight loss because of in-
terfering with normal
metabolism
Excess amounts of B-6 are
not stored in the body They are
rapidly eliminated so taking
large doses of B-6 just wastes
your money I am aware of the
current highly advertised fad of
using B-6 in weight control
regimes It is pure hokum All
of these schemes work only
from an associated diet that
restricts calories one way or
another or because they cause
you to eliminate body water,
not calories, or finally because
they make you sick

control write to me in care of

DEAR DR LAMB - I read
your column on split nails, and I
could have written an identical
letter a few years ago I tried
gelatin treatment and all sorts
of things Then a friend in a
cosmetics shop advised me to
omit nail polish altogether
Within a few weeks after I quit
using all forms of polish my
nails were in perfect condition
and I have not had a split nail
since
DEAR READER - Thank
you for sharing your experience
with others We find that lots of
problems are caused by reac-
tions to a vast array of
chemicals And, we are all
different in our reactions It
certainly will not cause any
harm to stop using nail polish
So, those with split nail
problems might as well try it

Capital fiddles as
other deficits loom
By RayCromley Studies now under way indicate
KS 5,"™“ recession-depressionjust
Projected shortages of industrial chemicals, plastics, energy
supplies, steel and other basic materials are so serious they could
lead to continued high levels of unemployment much longer than
anticipated, an extension of sluggish economic growth and a
renewal of blistering inflation
Unless somebody does something now
Yet on this matter of shortages there is profound lethargy in
Congress, and at the White House Only Arthur Bums of the
Federal Reserve Board seems worried
The charts are clear The predictions on looming scarcities are
seemingly hardheaded calculations There is no apparent dis-
agreement But official Washington nods in appreciation of the
problem, clicks its teeth and turns to other matters.
Worse yet, it is questionable whether business has the ability
under present conditions, to solve these shortages industrial
modernization and expansion are lagging Businesses are going
ever more heavily in debt - and paying heavily both in interest
charges and in a loss of their ability to strike out with improved
methods and new developments
With rising debt loads, the stability of many firms is so fragile
they cannot take the normal chances necessary for changed
methods or expansion Earned profits, too - that is, excluding in-
ventory profits from inflation — in all too many cases are far too
low to attract the venture capital needed for bold new programs
As a result, productivity is improving at a slower pace than in
the recovery period of past recessions And is likely to continue to
.As competitive growth declines, we see businesses, as well as
the federal agencies, attempting to regulate, control and divide
markets by agreement We see the same "hold on to what you've
got and keep the outsider out" attitude strong in the professions
doctors making certain the number of new physicians coming
into the market will be small enough to keep medical incomes 20
per cent what they d normally be, attorneys subtly restricting en-
tryinto the legal profession, and other professions following suit
The government, as advertised of late, is no small part of the
problem - too often penalizing business firms financially or with
operating restrictions for coming up with cost-saving ways of do-
ing things — or putting actual bans on new efficiencies which
might undercut the competition, thus penalizing innovators and
protecting the laggards
By contrast. a Congressional Joint Economic Committee study
shows that the Japanese Government "has been ruthless with
respect to inefficient and low technology firms . ”
Then too, there's our new emphasis on the environment
However desirable the new regulations, there's no gainsaying
that an important reason for some serious industrial material
shortages results from the fact that last year producers of iron
steel, nonferrous metals and paper - at a time of severe money
shortages - devoted more than 20 per cent of their capital
budgets to pollution control, as Bums is fond of pointing out
But the single most worrisome and most serious of the
problems is simply that it is becoming almost impossible at the
White House, in Congress and in the higher stratum of the
business world, to get anyone to take these crises seriously until
they are on the point of overwhelming us
historical picture of his ad-
ministration.
“Each of them, like a fly on
a wall, sees only or hears only
part of the story," Nixon said.
"The full story is something
else again and the full story is
something that can only be
obtained from the whole range
of presidential materials."
Nixon said in a number of
minor ways he did not carry
out his duties as president in
the ways of his predecessors.
Take the case of the thousands
of letters the president receives
every week from the public.
"I wanted to see a sampling
of mail that had been received
... and whereever the letters
involved a major issue it
became necessary to prepare
an adequate response,” he said.
"I took personal responsibility
for preparing that response."
Nixon’s sensitivity seems
close to the surface throughout
the testimony. He is constantly
defensive, and uses the advice
he got from former presidents
as a means of explaining his
actions. Near the end of the
deposition he recounted:
“President Johnson came to
see me. As you know he was a
man of many moods, but he
could sometimes have a tower-
ing rage and in this instance
rage was directed against what
he called the Williams amend-
ment, which I recollect ...
removed that portion of the law
which allowed gifts or public
papers to be deducted for tax
purposes.
"And President Johnson said
to me, he said, ‘Now in view of
that fact,’ he said, ‘just
remember your papers are
yours.’ And he said, Don’t you
ever give them to the govern-
ment, because they are not
going to let you deduct them.
That is going to have a bad
effect on all people in the
future. Libraries are going to
dry up. Those papers a re yours.
tradition of taping White House
conversations.
Interestingly, Nixon has
strengthened, not backed down,
on the need for secrecy at the
highest level of government
To get the best advice when
you’re president, Nixon said,
you’ve got to have open and
frank discussion off the record.
"I wanted them to present
their views with all the bark off
so that I could, in making up
my own mind, have the full
range of options in front of
men,” he said.
“This principle of confiden-
tiality is indispensible for the
making of great decisions," he
said. "There would have been
no opening to China without
total absolute secrecy and
confidentiality."
Nixon made it clear he is not
going to let the books of others
who served him stand as the

Scott as the most energetic
patronage seeker with more
than 60 jobs secured An in-
vestigative report states that
GSA maintained "a Senator
Scott file" separate from other
political referral files.
His recommendations ap-
parently carried great weight
One friend of Scott was awarded
a top job, according to the report,
even though “there were 14 peo-
ple ahead of him on (the Civil
Service) register."
Another time, Scott wrote a
“Dear Bob" letter to then GSA
Administrator Robert Kunzig
urging that he "favorably con-
sider" J. Ronald Smith for a job
as a buildings manager in Pitts-
burgh.
Back came a" Dear Hugh" let-
ter from Kunzig. "You may be
assured," he wrote, "that we will
do everything possible to ex-
pedite processing his appoint-
ment"
About the same time. Scott
also pushed Harold Kitchen for a
federal protection officer's jot) in
Wilkes-Barre. Pa. Neither Smith
nor Kitchen, as it happened,
could pass the qualifications. But
GSA produced a typical
bureaucratic solution; both men
simply were offered better jobs.
It is all explained in a June 23.
1971, memo which speaks of
Smith and Kitchen as "the two
must referrals from Senator
Scott's office"
Confides the memo: "We were
not able to qualify Mr Smith for
this position We therefore estab-
lished another position " Thus,
he was given a tailor-made job,
in blatant violation of the law. at
a recommended salary of $16,-

in the case of Kitchen, the
helpful folks at GSA "qualified
him and are ready to offer him a

job was illegally "created" for

WASHINGTON (UPI) - One
of the toughest jobs in
Washington is learning to
recognize whether the Presi-
dent is traveling in his capacity
as chief executive, as leader of
his political party or as a
candidate to succeed himse.
It makes a difference, you
know. For one thing, it
determines who pays for the
trip.
If the President travels as
chief executive, the trip is a
public expense. If he travels as
political leader, his party's
national committee picks up the
tab. And if he travels as a
candidate, he taps his own
campaign fund.
This distinction is not easily
drawn. To the untrained eye, it
may appear that a presidential
trip is statesmanlike. But when
you hold it up to the light and
examine it closely you can see
it is 99.44 per cent pure politics
At the moment, there is some
disagreement over President
Ford’s political trips.
Ford sees himself as travel-
ing as the leader of the
Republican party; hence his
expenses are being picked up
by the GOP national commit-
tee.
But some of the other
presidential candidates see the
trips as campaign expeditions.
In view of the new limits on
campaign spending, they say
Ford should have to deplete his
campaign funds like everyone
else.
