Teddy-bo- y After the Chappa-quiddic- k Kids escapade, a better cherry tree story would have been: I cannot tell a lie. I did not cut down any cherry trees. I was too exhausted (you know how it is). The orchard was on a - strange beach and I was unfamiliar with the road, the beach, the bridge, the cherry tree, and the axe. I then pitched my dollar across the Potomac, in a state of confusion, forgot about why I came and went, swam back without getting wet, took a nap, and went on network TV to determine when the publics conscience and memory would let me keep my little hatchet.

Three guesses how much. The fine was SI 0 , 000, which is equivalent to the fine imposed on an average citizen for overparking. Moral: if youre gonna steal, steal big. And be big. Bunge, incidentally, promised to try to quit. YOU CANT HAVE ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER A free press and a free nation are indivisible. You cant have one without the other. In one sense our country still has a free press, but in another sense it doesnt. There is far too of power within a few hands. Take TV, for instance, if you can. ABC, CBS and NBC so dominate the news, the home and the culture, that it is frightening. The three networks are owned and controlled by a handful of liberals, who happen to be Jews (How many pro-Ara- documentaries b have you seen recently?) No, I am not one to condemn Jews for buying up and dominating the major news media. The gentiles could have done it. Perhaps they were just not smart enough. The other network educational TV -so-- called controlled by government and Foundation liberals, also liberal and Jewish. Most of the major is newspaper chains are total and the liberal control maintained by Jews many, many times the mere 3 of the population which the Jews are in this is country. The Jews control more of the news media than is healthy for any minority group to control. What to do about it? In my judgment, three main things should be done: 1. The TV and radio networks should be broken Networks up. The federal government recently charged one of the concentration necessary. not Packaged are programs (which is what the Lawrence Welk show now is) could be made available to both local stations and to advertisers.

In these days of galloping government-causeinflation, the decreasing value of the money puts a squeeze on both the management and the employees, making it doubly difficult to come to agreeable terms. The cost of operation squeeze is on the companies, and yet the employees understandably desire a pay scale which will compensate for inflation and yet still allow somewhat of an increase in purchasing power. Nevertheless, even under these difficult circumstances, Frontier made an offer to the pilot group which was acceptable to the pilots. So, one would think, if the company is agreeable and the employees are agreeable, there should be no problem. Ah hah but that is forgetting about the union bosses. Even in spite of the agreement between the management and the pilots, the president of the pilots' union, the Air Line Pilots Association, would not approve the proposed contract. He ordered ballots for a strike mailed out to the pilots. In obvious disregard of the tremendous inconvenience which would be imposed upon the travelling public, the incredible loss in wages to not only the pilots but to all other employees of the company, and the financial burden on the company itself, the union bosses applied considerable pressure to encourage a strike vote. Among other things, this gives considerable light regarding the mentality of union bosses. d VOTE 396 to 51 AGAINST STRIKE When the strike ballots were counted, the count was probably the most overwhelming NO vote ever recorded. It was 396 against the strike to 51 for. That is almost eight-to-oagainst. In these days, it is especially refreshing to see a group of employees set greed aside and stand by their employer against unreasonable union This writer, being a Frontier captain, is demands. especially proud of his fellow pilots in this matter. ne - CONTROVERSY OVER THREE-MA- N CREW Since the public would be adversely affected by such a strike if it were to develop, the public deserves to know .the nature of the controversy. It is whether the Boeing 737, flown by Frontier, should be operated by a three-ma- n, as it is now, or reduced to a two-ma- n crew. The pilots of Frontier are generally in agreement that it can be safely operated with two pilots. But the union, ALPA, insists that three are necessary. This is not a simple matter, to resolve, as there are countless factors to consider, many of which are hypothetical. Such do not lend themselves to positive, concrete opinions. Nevertheless, ALPA has apcrew and it has proved the Douglas DC-- 9 for a two-ma- n been flying with two men for years.

First year operation of the block grant program helped more communities than all the combined HUD programs it replaced, boasted in the teeth of adverse opinion.
