That focus on the inner condition of a people, on their basic estimate of life itself, has been the recurring concern of men assuming that high UJS. office. It is as if, on being brought to look at their countrys complex, variegated estate from the pinnacle of paramount responsibility, they recognize the main in issue as fundamentally religious nature. As the late John F.

The first president, George Washing- ton, .phrased it another way: Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be retained without religion. It$ a continuous note, echoed through the succession of American presidents, ever since the countrys joined in declaring that human beings have inalienable rights endowed by their Creator." Franklin D. Roosevelt, on his third inaugural in 1939 when war clouds were thickening over Europe, expressed it this way: Storms from abroad directly challenge three institutions indispensable to Americans, now as always. The first is religion. It is the source of the other and international good faith. Abraham Lincoln, in the midst of another crisis' that rent the nation, said in his second inaugural, With firmness in the right as God gives us to see the light, let us strive to finish the work we are In... ... rnx" -- "Lot us go forward," President Nixon said, "firm in our faith, steadfast in our purpose, cautious of in the will of God and the promise of man." But what, precisely, is the meaning of these repeated presidential assertions that the countrys health, its trueness to itself, depend or its spiritual condition? Basically, it is the conviction that faith in the divine origin of man is the only enduring defense of his individual rights and worth, his ultimate refuge against any absolutist state or other oppression, the bedrock of democracy.

But thats not the Mississippi we see today as some of us stroll down the main street past the Protestant and Catholic churches, past the synagogue, on to a meeting with some of the brightest sociologists in the land. You talk of black leader Whitney Young, head of the National Urban League, sitting with the states business, industrial and political leaders, with its merchants and educators over in Jack-so- n almost three years ago today.

And you know that you talk to a pro, not only as an economist and sociologist, but also then we will be governed by tyrants, William Penn wrote, in the time of the nations founding, adding that lack of that faith would leave men susceptible to domination by exploiters. Human liberty, Thomas Jefferson said, is the gift of God.

And well might the nation look southward to this economic hub of the Mississippi Delta lush lands and bayou country where the Delta Resource Development Corp. attempts to revitalize a grim section of humanity. If this experiment in rehabilitating the displaced agricultural and plantation workers, mostly black, succeeds, it could be the pilot action in stemming the flow to the jungled megalopolises. It all pivots on the old air base. Of course, the municipality, the county and the state want it to be turned into an industrial park with big plants supplying jobs and prosperity. But it is not that D. Eisenhower, we beseech guidance. Lyndon B. Johnson once put it this way: The men who have guided the destiny of the United States have found Gods simple or that myopic. The Mississippi Development Corporation sees its own black men, women and children who have been displaced from the plantations as unready for the world C. THOSTESON, M.D. Dear Dr. Thosteson: Since the birth of my first child several months ago I have been haunted by a fear that I would not be able to have any more children. Im sure it is an unreasonable fear as there is no physical reason for me not to have more children. My pregnancy was perfect and so was the birth. I was happier while I was pregnant than at any other time in my life. Is it normal for a woman to have this kind of fear? At first I thought it might be just after-birtblues," which I have read about, but its been too long Jor that. Mr3. A.J. h Answer: No, this fear is not normal. it has none of the signs of postpartum depression, a severe depression follows childbirth which occasionally (your after-birtblues). Rather, I would assume that you have wanted children for a long time, wanted them very much, and have developed an anxiety neurosis, or worry that has an obsession.

But once Mr. Rabins and Mr. Andrew's dull Mozart Sonata was out of the way, Mr. Rabin disclosed that his outstanding musical gifts lie in his delicacy, his sensitive feeling for tone color, and in a maturity us of music, both emotionally and chronologically from Mozart to William Kroll. The evening began none too well with a prosaic reading of Mozarts Sonata in B Flat (K. 378), which quite failed to make its point through the lack of any projection and urgency by Mr. Rabin, Mitchell Andrews, though his bit of fire with a gave the piano part left feeling that was I clarity. scrupulous this Mozart sounded a pretty weary Mr. Rabin is, I think, essentially a romantic player, which perhaps accounted for the Faure Sonata No. 1 in A," Opus 13, being delivered with more fire perhaps than is usually associated with this composer. The first movement bounded along with youthful energy, and the Scherzo was taken, crackling and sparkling, at a tempo one would assume to be too fast pianist, Block, an Michael presented as tonishing range for precision. But Mr. Rabins technique was equal to the task he set for himself, and Mr. Andrews never dropped a note either. In fact, Mr. Andrews really came into his own in the slow movement where he caressed the rising chains of iambics with exquisite silvery tones. For at least one listener, Mr. Rabin further established himself as a romantic by programming the second half of his recital out of violin virtuoso encores. I dont recall this kind of programming for decades. It was the kind of program that Kreisler, Thibaud, Spaulding, and used to play when musical tastes were allegedly less sophisticated than they are today. And hats off to Mr. Rabin for daring to play five numbers to Community that are Concert-typ- e audiences, and not making all his listeners wait until he began his encores for something they know and like.

Has Senate Lowered Its Standards? By DREW PEARSON and JACK ANDERSON WASHINGTON Unquestionably the Senate set lower ethical standards for the Nixon cabinet than for previous cabinets, and this was because the Senate itself had lowered its own ethical standards. Insomuch as the senators had refused to list their own assets with the secretary of the senate, it was difficult for them to insist that new cabinet members sell their stock In conflict - of - interest companies. Last year it was Everett McKino from Illiley Dirksen, the nois, who repeatedly objected to listing personal assets with the secretary of the Senate. He said it would be an insult to fellow senators. Dirksen, of course, has a prosperous law firm in Peoria. This year it was the same Ev Dirksen who worked hehind the scenes to lower the standards for cabinet officers. Thus although Robert McNamara sold around 1,000,000 of Ford Motor Company stock and Charley Wilson sold more than 2,000,000 of General Motors stock before either became secretary of defense, David Packard did not ioll all his electronic stock before becoming undersecretary of defense. Packard, incidentally, is a high calibre executive, whom Nixon originally considered for secretary of defense. He took the second spot in the Defense Department hoping that the Senate would be lenient regarding his stock disposal. It was. But where the Senate showed the greatest lowering of ethical standards in contrast with the past was regard to Walter J. Hickcl, sometimes called basso-profund- Hickel, Help-Yourse- lf the the word.

No later than the Truman Administration, Ed Pauley, the West Coast businessman was blocked as undersecretary of the Navy because he had invested in oil. In the Navy, Pauley would have had charge of buying fuel oil, not of the Elk Hills Oil Reserve, which is under the care of the Interior Depart .ient. Nevertheless, opposition to Pauley was so great even in a Democratic senate, that President Truman withdrew his name. The present Democratic Senate has administration given the Republican much more lenient treatment regarding another oil man, Wally Hickel. There was no moral indignation. In fact the Senate Interior Committee did not even send an investigator to Alaska to check on Gov. Hickel. It only started checking his oil leases after they were disclosed by the press. The public, however, was far from ap150,000 letters athetic. Approximately and telegrams were received by senators to Hickcl. Only when it was revealed in the press, did the Senate Committee get around to questioning Hickel about the fact that he had 2,500 acres of oil land under lease hum 1953 to 1963, and nearly 100,000 acres of top filed lease from 1963 to 1965 at which time the Supreme Court , (1 Failing to keep a proper lookout, Keystone said.
