Bleated it the man that endureth temptation. Some say it is right to
yield to natural impulses. But if we yield to beastly impulses we be-
come beasts and who wants to be a beast?
Case of Nearsightedness
VOUNG Governor Ribicoff of Connecticut, as a Democrat,
* naturally counts heavily on labor for political support
Recently he risked that backing by criticizing the organizing
tactics of certain labor leaders in his state.
Speaking at an AFL meeting, he objected to CIO pamph-
leteering which declared that the union organization would
‘‘connive, persist, annoy, anything to get what you have a
right to have.”
The able governor said flatly he would fire outright any-
one caught ‘‘conniving or annoying” in any department of
his state government to assist the CIO in its efforts.
ANE would imagine the AFL might find it possible to sup-
v port his protest against this questionable language. But
the federation instead sent apologies to the CIO because Ribi-
coff had spoken from its platform.
We are talking here about just one organizing pamphlet
in one campaign. But there is an important principle involved,
as Ribicoff saw.
What the CIO pamphlet says is that the end justifies the
means. So long as the cause is just—fair wages, hours, work-
ing conditions—then "anything" may be done to advance that
cause.
It is a peculiar kind of thinking that would lend sanctity
to conniving, annoying or any other dubious tactics simply
because the declared goal is good.
¥ ABOR leaders too often have been guilty of this kind of
thinking. Since they came to great power in this country,
they have indulged in many excesses in the name of the
"people,” only a part of whom they in fact represent.
When called to account, these leaders self-righteously de-
cline to acknowledge any error or transgression. Wrapped
in the protective garment of the “people’s" cause, they ask
instead that laws which govern others not be applied to them.
Ribicoff is to be commended for speaking out for principle,
even while a guest in labor’s own house. The labor leaders’
reply seemed only to reaffirm their original position—that
the end justifies the means.

The Distant Precincts
AAMBODIA, one of the states of Indochina, is a place quite
remote from our imaginations here in America. All we
know, really, is that it is important today because it is in the
line of Communist pressure southwestward in Asia.
But, having acknowledged that, we are bound to pay some
attention to events there which appear to affect the region's
powers to resist encroachment by whatever means.
Consequently, Americans must voice thanks that former
King Norodom Sihanouk has won a smashing victory in a
Cambodian election. He had left his throne to submit his
policies to the test of the polls.
We can be grateful for the turn toward Democratic
processes, for one thing. There is not too much understand-
ing in Asia of democracy as the West knows it. Any sign of
its growth must be welcomed.
Secondly Norodom is a friend of the West. And he has
managed to maintain this highly helpful posture while still
defending himself successfully at home on the charge that
he is a mere Western puppet.
A kick from a cow restored a Tennessee farmer’s speech.
We can imagine a few of the first words he said.
THIS is not my idea of a
1 proper Indian Summer. The
inconsistency of the weather is
about to defeat me.
Yesterday we dragged the
gabardines and dark failles out
of the di-chloricide (Ilian which
nothing smells worse longer) and
tried to air them out for today's
wear. Pul a sweater on for last
night's TV productions and
frankly, we considered turning
on the furnace but decided
against it Feared such an inno-
vation might do something to us
psychologically. Child psycholo-
gy was unheard of when we were
young and we apparently made
it all right hut today we hear and
see so many goofy programs
with screaming women and un-
balanced men stamping around
the set acting like maniacs over
nothing we are a hit cautious
about disturbing the regular rou-
tine. And so to bed with extra
blankets.

introduction of my feet Creep

aging frame to keep out the cold

chen with Buffer leading the

jingling his tags, jubilant that
morning is here, and Cissie go-
ing in and out between my feet

Turn on the lights and look at
the clock on the window sill. The
windows are dripping and the
clock is stopped. The whole
house is sweating and I'm hot-
ter than a four dollar cookstove

door and am engulfed in an at-
mosphere one could cut with a
knife. Everything is drooping.
The percolator gives off a sad

white sauce which has assumed
the consistency and appearance

Let's have it bright and cool
with a hint of frost in the air.
The leaves puting on their winter
finery, the smoke from a camp
fire curling straight up, mingled
with the odor of bacon frying
and coffee boiling, whetting the
appetite to a razor edge and
making one glad to tie alive.
This drippy stuff is merely to
be endured, not enjoyed.
structions to the letter. When we
knocked at his door we had to
identify ourselves explicitly before
he opened it.
The big man flung himself loose-
ly hack in his chair and simply
stared at us. No two ravens could
ever have become as intimately
associated in his mind with sheer
bad news as we were.
"Mr Dibble,” Lynch said, "will
no doubt have told you that we
found the chests.”
Sand ponderously nodded. Not
even that cheered him.
"But of what good? Each hour I
now question as to whether I shall
be alive in the next hour.”
“There is nothing I am sure,”
said Ljnch briskly, "which can-
not be satisfactorily arranged. We
know the exact location of the re-
maining chests. They are readily
accessible and darkness has now
fallen. 1 advise you to have Carey

men who could rig a hoist at the
edge of the west gun parapet. At
that point the cliff drops sheer to
the water Manhandling them down
the trail is not impossible, but it
would take more time. At this
moment that is not a commodity in
which any of us are very rich.”
In a matter of seconds Sand had
pounced on the hand phone and was
barking orders in all directions.
The Danish chief engineer, duly
accompanied by two oilers, was
summoned to the bridge and Lynch

boxes could be lowered directly to
the sea.
had snatched down from a rack in
the chart room.
LYNCH saw what he was do-
ing, leaped, and struck the barrel
up. The shot reverberated deafen-
ingly and harmlessly among the
hills. There was another splash.
"You fool!” Lynch spat. "If you
had hit him it would have been
murder. I'd have seen to it you'd
have hanged for it!”
He yanked the gun unceremoni-
ously out of Sand's hands and flung
it spinning away across the deck
of the bridge.
Sand was shaking with rage
and frustration.
"Carey," ha growled, “what is
the depth of the water at that
point?”
The captain seemed to me more
tense with disappointment than
Sand himself.
"I was only now checking on the
chart, sir. The cliff at the far end
there goes right down. The depth
is marked at 50 fathoms.”
"Three hundred feet,” Lynch
said reflectively. "Rather below
the possible working level for both
helmet and aqualung divers. They
will have to be recovered, if at all,
by grappling.”
