and the recent action of the Ken
tucky legislators gives a little light
to the awakening of the oitiuen*
across the nation to the recognition
of reality.
If our free enterprise system anti
onr Constitution are to survive,
reason mnstwin because if it foils
now there way not he another
chance. -
It becomes.more apparent by-the
day that the underlying concept of
those misguided and impatient ad
vocates of the so-called "Civil
Rights" issue is to take advantage
of the emotional upsurge attendant
to the drum beat of “racial equality”
and to centralize power in the
Federal government to control the
private and personal lives of all
the people.
Behind this backdrop of central
ized power, and following the dic
tates of the Executives Orders on
government contracts and housing,
the District of Columbia has pro
mulgated regulations on housing that
depict the trend of; government
control of private property.
N. S. Meese in an editorial in the
New Age Magazine, takes the side
of reason when he so aptly says:
“For the past decade or two a con
siderable number of well-meaning
but confused social reformers have
been trying desperately to demon
strate that there is such a con
cept as ‘property rights’ distinct
from what they are pleased to call
Truman rights’ and, that the. form
er are being given high priority in
all capitalistic societies in Which a
free economy prevails.
Obviously, however, property as
such has no rights. In their Kp
service to the concept of freedom
they have failed to understand that

pose of property is freedom’s
He also says: “Common sense
tells us, however, that the person
who is prevented from possessing,
using, or disposing of the fruits
of his own labor, or of their en
joyment, is not free.”
He sets forth a "Property Owh
-ers’ Bill of Rights" as adopted by
the National Association of Real
Estate Boards last June, It is am
solemn - belief that the individual
American property owner, regard
less of race, color, or creed, must be
allowed, under law, to retain:
"1. The right of privacy.
“2. The right to choose his oars
friends.
“3. The right to own and enjoj
property according to his own dic
tates.
“4. The right to occupy and dis
pose of property without govern
mental interference in accordance
with the dictates of his conscience
“5. The right of all equally to en
joy property without interference
by laws giving special privilege tc
any group or groups.
"6. The right to contract with s
real estate broker or other repres
entative of his choice and to au
thorize him to act for him accord
ing to his instructions.
“8. The right to determine the
acceptability and desirability o
any prospective buyer or tenant o
his property.
9. The right of every Americai
to' choose who in his opinion an
Congenial tenants in any propert;
he owns — to maintain the stabiKtj
and security of his income.
“10. The right to enjoy the free
dom to accept, reject, negotiate, oi
not negotiate with others.
Unfortunately there are somi
who do not accept this philosoph;
but I stand solidly on the side o
reason and freedom.

e
irs almost possible to feel a, little
sorry for the folks who guide "tl,S.
foreign aid. The barrage of Con
gressional criticism had barely let
up when other critics begad taking
aim. \ & <*«,
One of the critics is Rand Corp„
a California- based nonprofit organ
isation chiefly engaged in re
search in the area of national se
curity. In a recent report Rand
voices deep doubts about some .oi
the .Government’s efforts to ;aM
civil aviation in the so-called un
der developed nations of the world
The report, for example, ques
tions whether it was altogether wiss
for the U.S. to build a fine inter
national airport at Kandahar, Af
ghanistan. Rand describes Kanda
har as being “in the middle of no
where” with “no perceptible ail
traffic to serve" 1 ,*
Then * there iare the two $20 mil
lion U.S.rSupported loans to Eth
iopia for two big jet passenger
planes pins some jet-age airports.
The Rand report suggests that
these and similar projects are of
little real benefit to their recipients.
It notes that in Ethiopia, “a coun
try where roads are still appalling,
railroads vitually nonexistent . . .
the agriculture medieval . . . one
does not have to look far to find
more economically rewarding uses
for $40 million."
Another critic is the General
Accounting Office. In a report to
Congress the other day, the GAO
took issue with the U. S.-backed
Turkey-to-Iran railroad. So eco
nomically unjustified has this Mid
eastern project proved, the GAO
say*, that only segments within
each country are being built; leav
ing a gaping stretch of 173 rail
less miles between the Turkish and
Iranian rail systems. That and a
couple of other rail and highway
projects that lead to, nowhere, the
GAO said, have wasted $8.5 million.
Not so, replies the Agency for
International Development; the
value of these projects cannot be
measured in dollars alone. AID
says its own evaluation “is broad
ly pragmatic . . . weighted heavily
in terms of successful accomplish
ment of political ... . objectives.”
In other words, the foreign aid
agency still believes it can buy
friends if it only scatters enough
money around. This idea has been
tested time and again, in nations
from Cambodia to Cuba, with re
sults that no one could call en
couraging.
It would seem about time to re
examine this philosophy of waste.
Like that Mideastern railroad, it
really is getting no place.

Chevrolet will go to any length
to make you happy
Things have changed a lot since a Chevy
was only a Chevy. Especially yoiir ideas
of what you want a Chevy to be.
So now you have the Jet-smooth Chev
rolet— xlyi feet of pure luxury, bumper
to bumper. The size makes it a luxury car.
But not the price.
Or you can choose the thrifty Chevy II,
a, 15Ji-foot family car with all kinds of
passenger and luggage space.
This year, your choice might be
the wfci ^
rolet and Chevy II (and between parking
meters, with five whole feet left over).
Then, too, there’s the sporty 15-foot
Corvair, so right for so many people (you
girls, in particular) that we’ve never
touched an inch of it. And finally, Cor
vette-still 14 H feet and still too much
for any true sports-car lover to say no to.
The long and short of it is, you don't
have to go to any length to find exactly
the kind of-car you want. Just
see the five different lines of cars
at your Chevrolet dealer’s.
