I By ARTHUR LORD DEAR ARTHUR: I rescued my husband from bachelor- hood two months ago. We did not take a honeymoon then, but plan to take one soon. Yesterday I discovered that my husband asked his' mother to go with us. I tried to ex- plain why we should go alone. He1 got 1 '.-2.. 1V angry. He said Mr. Lord that his mother had never been to a nice resort and that honeymoons for two are just for kids, anyway. He insists on taking his mother. What shall I do?

Points J L ilaJLlj within this dynamic Mr. Alexander Right Wing. One is the conspiratorial school where the schoolmen believe that the nation is being betrayed by internal enemies who collaborate for our overthrow with external foes: ' The clatter often raised in the name of this conspiratorial school comes from the collision of two' good American maxims. One is the proverb that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. The other is the Constitutional principle that a man is Innocent until proved guilty. But in order not to have the collision and the clatter we would have to rescind one or both of these American stand-b- y beliefs. Does any loyal American wish us to cease beilng vigilant for pur liberties? Does any reasonable citizen wish to ' change the assumption of innocence which is the citizen's best protection from hysterical or tyrannical actions against jr his person and freedom?! not know President Well, Kennedy may it but .be is walking into! trouble again with the conspiratorial school.1 recently sat in on a very intellectual cell of Radical Rightists who envisioned terrible things taking place.

Some' Protestant church missions .withholding food from Nationalist China, were preparing to Join the , Americans For Democratic Action (ADA) in sending surplus grain to Red China. And so on.

No matter if the! conspiratorial school sometimes oversteps the bounds, it is here for; the duration q the world struggle with Communism. It is a cornerstone of American security. The other school of the dynamic Right is classical conservatism, This group, headed by Barry Goldwaterj Republicans and Southern Democrats in the persons of Harry Byrd, chard Russell, Herman Talmadge, Stro: IThurmond and- - John McOellan, is just as hostile, just as su spicious, although never as insulting,, regarding president Kennedy as the conspiratorial schoolman. Time after time since John Kennedy's nomination in 1960 and with the increase of his urbane dem- agoguery. these classicists have chal-lenged and defeated him. Senator Byrd withheld Virginia from the Democratic ticket in 1960, and today is firdihg for a decisive battle against the vrong-heade- d phases of the President's tax bill, Senator Russell routed the President and Attorney .

They antedate the Constitution and have been legislated at an acccltrsted s rate Sure Medical Aid Goes to the People Who Really Need It Be Editor Herald: Indeed writer Crowell of the bill is 23rd, the like kicked around truly getting a political football, and both sides are determinedly struggling for the touchdown. But in my opinion it is going to be a critical problem to understand whether this medical aid bill will turn out to be a benefit to the public or a harm. I say it is true we need a change in .our medical line. No form of a change could make matters worse than our present formula. I admit I am at a loss to ly understand the dope on this medical bill which is now shaping iip in Congress, but if the bill proposed includes accidents as well as sickness then I say let's have it. Here I shall state a particular example which should be carefully read and understood. It should be a key in solving this problem. I happen to know of a particular party who is at this time suffering from three different ailments, but is obliged to go on suffering on account of his low budget. He openly stated that if it were possible to have his ailments cured by paying a 20 per cent raise on his tax bill he would be more than willing to meet his tax hike. Now bear in mind that this party is but one among thousands of his class. So according to this noted case that political football should make a touchdown on the score. Anything to improve the astounding increase in sickness should be adopted. If the medical aid bill which our government is now trying to put over will solve the trick then I say let's vote for it. But whatever system used and enacted on medical aid should be worked out with the "best of judgment, and see that the ones in need get the lift without patronizing those who are not In need. Y. M.

ANNA DEAR ANNA: Anyone who needs work as badly as you do will obviously do her best regardless of her age. But if factory owners in your area can't figure that out for themselves, forget them. Try a new line of work. For instance, saleswomen, telephone operator, bank teller, florist, librarian, taxi driver, or receptionist. Each one of us can perform well at many different kinds of jobs. See for yourself. Communists Through? Take Another Look i Editor Herald: A leading weekly. May 19, in two articles assuring us that j the Communists are through, has struck a tremendous blow against the cause of freedom that should affront all thinking Americans. Finally, when the public is taking notice that "it can happen here" and, judging by the reception accorded congressional j investigating committees, "has begun to happen here," no greater disservice to the country which has afforded it editorial and financial freedom could be imag. i ined. The domestic Communists are pictured to have been rendered helpless through court action, legal decisions and kindred handicaps. The second article, purporting to world-wid- e show failure,over-of communism, looks the loss of 12.000 humans per hour into Communist domina- tion; disregards our troops being called into service in Africa and Asia;- the Berlin situation; ithe falling of Santo Domingo, Turkey, Korea and governments everywhere. In reading this treatise we are supposed to overlook the Communists in Guiana penetrating the South American continent; the danger to all Latin America- - and j to forget that communism, in spite of its usual famine, remains in Cuba a nesting place for setting up missile bases from which all of pur cities can be destroyed.

WASHINGTON Representative Adam Clayton Powell, chairman of the House Committee en Education and Labor, is making a dramatic shift in his position on federal aid for education. The New York Negro legislator, whose committee handles, school legislation in the House, is planning to take the lead in pushing federal aid to both private and elementary schools. Until switching this month. Representative Powell had been one of Congress' most vigorous sup-porters of President Kennedy's school aid program that limited federal aid to public grade schools. this Administration However, proposaJ, although passed by the d Senate," has been effectively in the House by the powerful Rules Committee, where the legislation has been bottled up for more than a year. In effect, the Committee's unbudging opposition has killed the .President's program for this year. Representative Powell, who has future gubernatorial ambitions in New York, hopes to break this deadlock by joining congressional the broader forces advocating school aid approach. He is telling Democratic House leaders that he will lead an all-odrive at the opening of the newj Congress to pass legislation giving federal aid to both, public and private schools. In preparation fur this January school aid push. Powell reported that he is setting up a special Edu cation Subcommittee with the task of acquainting Congress and the public with the full details of the j federal aid now being given prf--' vate as well as public schools. Also, the subcommittee will highlight and publicize legal briefs and arguments showing that the first amendment to the Constitution is no bar to Congress approving federal aid to private schools. CHANGING HORSES Representative Powell's new views on federal school aid w ere carefully spelled out in a speech delivered at the Catholic University at Ponce, Puerto Rico, on May 18.
