Peace, as millions of our fellow citizens understand the word, and if accompanied by victory over our POES WEALTH CREATE POVERTY? The New York Times remarked one day not long ago that crime and poverty are - intimately related. As all good liberals know, this is the gospel truth: Crime can be drastically reduced if we (1) eliminate wasteful defense spending and (2) use the money saved to eradicate poverty, after which people being content, will (3) not commit any more crimes. Now, all good libs may be aware of this thesis, but Times reader Joel C. Mandelman, in a letter to the Editor, begged to differ. If crime and poverty go together, he asked, then why wasnt New York engulfed in a wave of crime during the Depression, when of the work force was one-four- th unemployed? That sounded rather reasonable to this writer, but it made no sense at all to Bruce of althaea, who Wallace prdmptly wrote the Times to reveal the flaws in Mr. Mandelmans lQgic. During the 1930s,' wrote Wallace, of the work force may indeed have been unemployed, but even those who were employed had very little. The bulk of the population was economically that is homogeneous uniformly poor. one-quart- er i Mr. Wallace went on to describe the frustration of those who have less when they see that other people, no more than obviously gifted Which more. have they, -- Communist - dont have enough to eat or having enough, merely because other people have more to eat? Is there a minimum standard for decent housing, or does the existence of a mansion make your home substandard? If nearly everyone were poor as in the Depression - would poverty be acceptable? Poverty in a developed country like ours presents a prickly irony. Technology, as Irving Kristol has pointed out, bestows its greatest benefits upon the lowest economic classes, because it provides more goods and services more cheaply. Plumbing, electricity public transportation, radio, television, supermarkets -poor people in underdeveloped nations would regard these as and only a fit for a king king. - . - (It is fashionable Dorothy Walden Desert Hot Springs, California . confiscation, as citizens of other nations, those who are left, can testify. Those who become vocal against registration of guns are called Paranoid Petes, while the Flaccid Placids try to convince us that registration means a golden panacea. Somewhere in between the limps and the blazing-eye- d militants there ought to be a balance called Mr. Intelligent Citizen. But Mr. Intelligent Citizen has become outnumbered by a strange species in the land of the free called Boobus Americanus. These Boobi cant believe that there might be a little corruption here and there in government, that there might be something of a conspiracy going on, that there might be a taint of Communism in high and low places. True, there isnt a Communist under every bed. Continued on page B I do. -- David CO.i j LUMBER SAVE MONET 2 Plastic Counter Top .29c sq. (Full sheets) .69 ea.

All of this is to be accomplished in the name of Peace, but without the American trouble Dear Editor: The Guns and Terror article in your November 8 issue is explicit. honorable treatment of our anticommunist allies, would be a glorious gain for the whole world. But peace to the Communists and their spokesmen in high places means simply and exclusively a situation in which there is no resistance to Communism. The primary purpose of the constant gigantic drive for peace becomes more obvious each day.

But for the poor, factory smoke is a thing of beauty because it provides employment.) Surely every person has a right to aspire to the highest realm of society.
