Evidently, since then. and after C.S. Iroop withdrawals front South Vietnam. Communist forces eharwed tactics. Now in charge. they aren't proving it with AlThou oft they're cO- nsohdating control in textbook fashion. Among the provisional government's first moves were to place restrictions on the country's press and take over the labor unions. Industry was nationalized and unauthorized weapons collected. Decrees against sabotage, disobedience to the provisional government's orders and other "treil SOMA'S acts," 'ere issued. The basis for punishing former ant Prev olutiona ry element s cert ain y exists. Nevertheless, the last South Vietnamese president.

The Communist are making conspicuous attempts to attract a i homeward return of South Vietnamese who fled the country aboard U.S. vessels, A "bloodbath" wouldn't help that effort From the time peace talks started in Paris over five years ago, thc Vict Cong and North Vietnamese showed they were a(utely aware of worldwide public opinion. Conceivably. they are, knowing they have an immense job ahead in uniting and rchuildmg Vietnam. more anxious than f'ver to put a pleasing face on their rule. As a practical matter, they can illord to kill oft Vietnamese who can help with reconstruction work. Still. it's difficult to irriagine that a war fought as long and as hatefully as the Vietnam carnage could end without Old scores bemg settled. It may be that the end came so fast. the victors aren't yet in position to exact vicious retribution. The Viet Cong. being South k'ictnamese and in current control of the Saigon situation, may have different ideas on handling post-wa- r affairs than the North Vietnamese, who possess the military strength. Hanoi could be waiting for the right moment to weed out" potential anti revolutionaries. It's still early to venture definite conclusions on what has or what will happen.

And for that reason the new Legislative Management Committee is correct in attempting to have a previous State Attorney General's opinion reconsidered.

Organ Transplant Service Doutt With SHI, Editor. Tribune The one who said. "To the victor belongs the spoils" never dreamed the ramifications of such, especially when applied to federal. state and local governments. The practice of this ignoble ideology has continued inefficiency: has spawned waste; has wrought vengeance; has insured immaturity in purpose and in direction. It has led nowhere. If we are to mature as a nation, as a state, as a Legislature, would it not be to the advantage of all to give security and stability to public employes already possessed of efficient know. how and assured experience? Would we not legislate economy in government by retaining capable employes to take advantage af their knowledge? What is to be gained from turnover after turnover when there is so much to lose? Many public employes have gained experience, have demonstrated loyalty to the job. I, personally, have observed the efficiency of experienced and faithful employes. I, personally. have observed their concern to do a good job. Their retention as employes is my concern. The political spoilage system no longer has mature worth in a society preaching the Christian" ethic. Goodnesss in man can spread with greater and more effective results when practiced with whole !9eart. I appeal for an abolishment of the dkreputahie spoils system. Let us institute an era of maturity and understanding. Set a precedent SAMUEL : A' 7 2 kc 4 t CI p, a t S. TAYLOR 4 r1 tJ't r Ili 4 t : '-- 1 , I ; tJ ii ) 1,. , , z ri v) ;,i !

Unending Stimulation Despite myself. I found myself missing the din of the slot machines. the mink coathamers and the constant. unending. persistent, pounding overstimulation of the senses. And perhaps this is the key. In all of American life. we are overstimulated to work, to play. to sex, to violence, to Vietnams. to succeed. even to drop out so that the stimulation itself drives us on constantly to some new kick that won't satisfy us either. A Stable Place We are never satisfied standing where we are. even though we know in our heart of hearts that. to truly move the universe, you have to have a sturdy, stable place to brace your feet. One of the hig shows in Las Vegas these days ends with playing of "Over the Rainbow" and with a voice asking, "Is it rtill there'" Of course, the rainbow is still here. but perhaps we ought to start looking for it.
