By FRANK ROBERTS
. A New York newspaper col
umnist named William 9hannon
put it very simply but elo
quently in a discussion of the
Cuban situation. It looks so
simple but sometimes the simp
lest statements or situations are
the greatest exponents of truth.
I’d like to quote a few phrases
from Mr. Shannon. I think this
first is most important. He says:
“The fundamental reason why
our bases are justified and Rus
sian bases are not justified is
that we stand for what is good
in the "orld and the Russians
stand for what is evil.” An-!
ether piece of truth: “The mis
fortunes that have recently be
fallen Cuba are mostly the fault
of Cubans. We did not invent
Batista or Castro and are not
morally responsible for the deeds
of these bad men.” More truths
from Mr. Shannon: “I am weli
aware of our society’s failings. ]
Indeed, I spend most of my
time attacking them. But I can
not agree with those who think
our defects mean there is noth
ing to choose between ourselves
and the Russians. We are free
to worship God as we see fit, to
read any books and paint any
paintings we choose, to vote
against our political rulers, to
have our guilt or innocence de
termined in a court of law, and
to refuse to bear arms if it of
fends our conscience. Because
of the Communist dictatorship,
the Russians have none of these
freedoms. The whole aim of
American foreign policy is to
protect these and other freedoms
wherever they now exist and to
work by peaceful means for
their extension to all people
everywhere. The present gov
ernment of Russia stands for an
impoverishing, anti-human, reac
tionary philosophy about man
and society. As long as these
two philosophies contend with
each other, we have to begin by
saying that one is right and the
other is wrong. Most would
have had no difficulty in assert
ing that the slave-holding soci
ety was morally evil. Why da
wc have so much difficulty in
making the same value judg
ment against Russia.” These
are important truths, and our
thanks to Columnist Shannon
for putting them in print.
Roughly on that subject, chan

Mike Wallace. This is an ex
cellent show and it packs more
history into 30 minutes and
more interestingly than one
could peruse in any other way.

turned out to be a clear, albeit
frightening explanation of Com

the Communists.
Ten automobiles were actually
destroyed in the making of the
movie “Panic In Year Zero.”
Other movie notes: Paul New
man lists as his favorite sports
riding, swimming and diving.
He is also an .avid reader, a
first rate amateur cook and gets
a kick out of drawing carica
tures; the movie “Desert Pa
trol” was filmed entirely on lo
cation in the Libyan desert;
screen star Ralph Richardson,
who appears in the movie “300
Spartans,” compares its battle,
the Battle of Thermopylae,
fought 24 centuries ago, with
World War ll’s epic D-Day; the
movie “Brushfire” was written
for the screen by Irwin Blacker,
cne of the nation’s leading au
thorities on guerilla warfare.
Closing Thought: There is no
fact more observable in litera
ture than how many beautiful
things have been said about
man in the abstract, and how
few about men in particular.
