Show COMMUNICATION MORAL OBTUSENESS Editor Progressive Opinion: ' Everett M. Dirksen, (R), of Illinois, delivered a political speech in Boise, Idaho, Saturday night, Feb. 13th, in which he declared that there were 10 forces which menace liberty and equality in the nation today. Mr. Dirksen is a presidential candidate and should know whereof he speaks. I am quoting No. 10 from the press report of that speech: "Moral obtuseness which prevents us from developing de-veloping righteous anger one of the great forces of good government." We are reminding Mr. Dirksen that this moral obtuse-ness obtuse-ness which he believes is a development of the last dacade, does not prevent some people from developing an unrighteous hate and hate is not one of the great forces of good government. govern-ment. Between now and the presidential election in November of ftiis year we are going to be reminded by many political spell binders that we get confused about hate and righteous anger that they are the exponents of "righteous anger" which candidate Dirksen tells us is dead as the dodo bird.
