WHAT WORRIES Burger and

are protected by federal mar-

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Seek cheerful
company, trade secrets with old confidants.
A change of pace helps avoid fatigue. You
must cope with added routine later; save
energy for it.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): It may be
easier to dodge friends than to say no to
their schemes—one or both, however, is
necessary now Routine work is strongly
favored Make a steady effort
LEO (July 23- Aug 22): Winding up the
workweek seems to be slow Older people’s
problems get in the way. Make a thorough
job of what you do Consult separate speci-
Blurts, get two opinions on all questions.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are asked
for extra .service with no extra reward. Set
limits befgre you begin; don’t be taken for
granted Tact doesn’t suffice—you must
take a definite stand.
LIBRA (Sept 23-Oct. 22): Everybody
want* to shift the blame; don’t pass your
own responsibility on nor take up that of
others Where principle is not involved, the
fuss isn’t worth the bother.

Warned that the U N is on trial " and that it sleeps in
the race of international Jungle law." the delegates devote
themselves to parochial interests. The signals of major

genuine quest for world peace

Thus a long day is not so much a burden
and you can admire your results.
Speaking in Salt Lake City the other dav Vice President
Spiro T Agnew made it plain that the Nixon administra-
tion had nothing to do with the Commission on Pornogra-
phy. which has recommended that all laws pertaining
thereto be abolished for adults
Hot on the campaign trail, he labeled the commission a
lame duck that had been appointed by Democratic
President Johnson and asked for the election of a Republi-
can Congress that would help President Nixon keep Mam
Street from turning into Smut Alley
This commission was not named by President Nixon."
said Agnew No. sir. your honor, it's not our baby.”
But what's this’ The vice president has no less roundly
condemned the report of the Commission on Campus Un-
rest as imprecise, contradictory and equivocal more
Pablum for the permissivists "
Yet all nine members of the panel were appointed by
Republican President Nixon, including its chairman for-
mer Republican governor of Pennsylvania William
scranton
Yes sir your honor, this one IS your baby
Which, perhaps, illustrates the futility of trying to make
political capital out of matters which are too'important to
be left to the politicians
if a pornography panel appointed by President Nixon
would have come up with different recommendations, as
Agnew implies would not its findings be suspect, too’
If the political affiliation of a president who appoints a
commission is so influential, how come it backfired in the
case of the campus commission’
The only real question is, has either of these commis-
sions presented the nation with some useful truths or hasn't
it if not, then maybe we should stop wasting the tax-
payers' money on the things.

aides have confiscated a
Chinese-made AK-47 automatic
assault rifle, a trophy of the
Cambodian invasion, from
President Nixon His possession
of the weapon violated federal
firearms laws.
Illegal weapons have also been
seized from two White House
aides, four Senators, four
Representatives and three
Governors. Criminal charges
aren't likely to be preferred,
however, against the President
and his distinguished fellow law-
breakers.
The Internal Revenue Service,
which conducted the raids upon
Che 14 high officials, was most
reluctant to talk about it After
debating for two days whether to
answer our inquiries, the IRS
finally acknowledged that the
weapons had been "captured in
Cambodian sanctuaries and
presented to members of the
President's fact-finding mission
which went to the area in June.”

That this was hardly an understatement was shown again
by.the tragic events in Jordan King Hussein and the
Palestinian guerrillas have agreed to an uneasy truce but
thousands of Arabs are dead And yet quick and firm ac-
tion by the L N s Security Council might have prevented
the massacre.
Syria's invasion of Jordan with Moscow's consent and
with Russian tanks was a clear violation of the U.N.'s
Charter. It was as it still is—the kind of threat to peace
that the Security Council was entrusted by the Charter to
meet with "prompt and effective" action.
Nevertheless, a majority of U.N.'s members decided to
ook the other way: Always ready to condemn American
and Israeli imperialism,” they were reluctant to resort
to the Security Council in the case of Syria’s invasion of
Jordan.
General Secretary U Thant also decided to play it cool-
as he did when Russia invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968 He
always manages to stay “neutral" on the side of Moscow
and its clients.
The sad truth is that more than half of U.N.'s members

The Chief Justice has turned
the problem of courtroom

Haynsworth, who remained on
the Fifth Circuit Court after his
appointment to the Supreme
Court was rejected by the
Senate.
The Eyes Have It—Safety
The announcement by the Food and Drug Administration
that it will require safety glass in virtually all eyeglasses
Americans wear is one of those simple ideas, like autamn-
bile seat belts, whose time could and should have come
many years ago
The FDA estimates that 100.000 adults and 20,000 school-
age children are injured each year by accidents in which
eyeglasses are shattered On the other side of the picture
theNational Society for the Prevention of Blindness re-
ded 22,000 accidents last year in which eye injuries were
prevented because the persons involved were wearing pro-
tective lenses.                                           6 H
The proposed FDA regulation will require, that eyeglass
lenses, including those in nonprescription sunglasses, be
made of either heat-tempered, impact-resistant glass or
laminated glass or plastic. The extra cost would be mini-
mal. averaging only a few dollars.
Even if the vast majority of glasses wearers never have
their eyes saved by safety lenses, the extra expense may be
cheap insurance in another way.
How many millions of people sometime or other have
dropped a perfectly good pair of glasses and watched them
shatter into uselessness?
