In War On Poverty

President Lyndon B. Johnson's "war on poverty" is concerned with several projects being conducted at the University's Bureau of Business Research, according to an announcement this week by Dr. John Leonard Fulmer, the bureau's
new director.

Dr. Fullmer listed about a dozen
concerned primarily with
those areas described as "depressed." projects
The director said research
also are being prepared for the Area
Redevelopment Adrxunis-trabo- n
and the Economic Opportunity Act, the
legislative name for
the war on poverty.
Dr. Fulmer, who succeeds Prof. James W. Martin as director, said
emphasis is being placed on improvement of data aimed at the study
of commuting and construction. He said computers were making a significant contribution toward earlier solutions.
ls

The director said this was the first time the Computing Center
had been used extensively by the Bureau of Business Research. Dr.
Fulmer said computers helped compile the "Kentucky Personal Income"
report, published annually by the bureau. The income report for 1962
will be ready for distribution in about two weeks.
Dr. Fulmer said the 1963 report would be completed and ready
for release shortly after the first of the year. He added that the use of
computers allowed the report to be nine months ahead of the previous
schedule.
The bureau is located in the
University's new Commerce Building.
Robert N. Baird, a research associate, is doing a Ph.D. thesis entitled "Input-OutpStudy of Eastern Kentucky." A doctoral thesis,
called "State and Local Debt in Kentucky Since the Constitutional"
Restrictions of 1890," is being prepared by Father Daniel W. Lynch.
Roy W. Bahl, a research associate, is preparing a paper, "Public
Finance Adjustments to Suburban Growth." A project proposal on the
adequacy of local banking resources for economic development in
Eastern Kentucky is being developed by James A. Verbrugge, a research assistant. His project is under the counsel of Dr. John T. Masten,
professor of economics in the College of Commerce.
A manuscript publication, "County Population Trends Reflect Job
Changes," is being prepared by Dr. Fulmer. "A mathematical model of
Eastern Kentucky's economy has been set up and the buieau can take
a monetary figure such as the amount to be spent building a new highway in the area and quite accurately indicate fust what the impact will
be on the region's economy," according to the director.

James E. Pitts, a research assistant, has begun exploring "Employment Trends in Kentucky." Richard Ilodgetts, a student assistant, is
doing a study on "Labor Productivity for the State of Kentucky."

Dr. Aring To Address
Medical Center Group
Dr. Charles D. Aring, professor of neurology at the University of Cincinnati, will present the fifth in a series of distinguished lectures at the University Medical Center at 8 p.m.

Thursday.

The series in the past has featured such speakers as Dr. Albert
Sabin, discoverer of the Sabin oral
polio vaccine.

The public is invited to hear Dr.
Aring, whose talk is entitled
Non Nocere." The program
will be given in the hospital audito"pri-imi-

rium.

Dr. Aring is noted for his ability
to help students mature as professional persons.
"You may hardly do an effective
and happy medical practice," he ha
said, "if you remain afraid to brush
aside those innuendos of the immature, those persons who will not
outgrow childish notions, one of the
more absurd of them being that an
acquaintance with culture is correlated with effeminacy."
The doctor, who learned to read
w hen he was four, was orphaned before he was six and grew up in a
children's home. He began to support himself at age IS by woikiug
at Cincinnati General Hospital, attending high school at night. In
192J he was graduated from the
University of Cincinnati with U.S.
and M D. degrees.
Dr. Aring was awarded a Sterling Fellowship at Yale University
School of Medicine in 193L From
there he went to the National Hospital in London on a Rockefeller
Fellowship. To deepen his knowledge of histology, he went to
and on to Breslau for clinical
and pathological studies.
Ma-dii- d

Then, equipped w ith knowledge
of neurology, neurophysiology, neurohistology, and neuropathology,
rohistology, and neuropathology,
the former office boy returned to his
alma mater.
The author of many publications, he has written essays on medical education and the relationship
of the classical and scientific approaches, in addition to his work
on neurology and psychiatry.

Governor Calls Democrats
Both Liberal, Conservative
"This year, we Democrats
are both the liberal and conservative
defending
party,
both these traditions against
the brutal and ruthless attacks of right-winradicals,"
Gov. Edward T. Breathitt said
last night.

The Covernor addressed about
young people at the Phoenix
hotel who were gathered for a rally
sponsored by the Lexington-FayettCounty Young Democrats Club.

The Covernor continued to lash
the Republican Party leadership as
"The extremists and
radicals who ruled the roost at San
Francisco, repudiated, desecrated,
defiled the great moments of the
Kepublican Party and chose as
their standard bearers men who
contemptously reject all that is decent, compassionate, and hopeful in
the tradition of both our great political parties."

The state's Chief Executive said
he had been asked many times why
he w as working so hard in this elec-

tion campaign. To this, Breathitt
said, "I replied, that even w hen our
great candidates have gone dow n in
defeat before, I always thought that
the United States and Kentucky
would progress, perhaps not as rapidly as under Democratic party leadership, but I felt confident that we
would go on. I don't feel that way
about this election."

Council Sets Increase
For UK Entrance Fees
Effective Next Summer

"Coldwater is the man who voted
against Kentucky," an obvious referral to the Arizona Senator's
"Nay" vote on President Johnson's
Appalachian Aid Bill.
Breathitt added that it was ironic
that Sen. Coldwater was in Kentucky asking "For your votes" on the
very day that he helped to defeat
the bill that "Would have meant so
much to Kentucky."

and

.

President Oswald, who is a member of the Council, said the new
schedule of fees represents a "modest increase" for Kentucky students
and a "substantially higher inattendcrease" for
ing UK.
The fee increase for Kentucky
students still leaves the UK fees
slightly under the average of comparable institutions in surrounding
states, w hereas the increase for
students puts the UK fees
more in line w ith those paid by Kentucky students who attend college
in other states, Dr. Oswald said.
The council's action in upping
fees at UK and the five other state
colleges followed a recent study by
the Council staff of entrance fees
charged by publically suppoited
institutions on higher learning in
21 other states.
Dr. Oswald termed the fee increase a "reasonable step," and
said it was justified by the rising
cost of piov tiling quality higher
education.

Breathitt said, "This election is
no mere struggle for party triumph.
This, my fellow Americans, is no
ordinary political contest. In this
year of 1961, we, those of us who
support Lyndon Johnson and Hubert
Humphrey, are both the party of
hope and the party of memory."
The Governor's remarks did not
differ greatly from those he made
Sept. 30, at a Democratic party
rally in Georgetown, Ky. There,
Breathitt characterized Sen. Cold-wate- r
as the man who gained control

of the Kepublican party against the
will of a majority of its members.
In that speech he also attacked the
CO. P. presidential nominee for his
negative stand with regard to the
Bural Klectrification Administration (REA) and for the Senator's
remarks about doing away with the
tobacco suppoit program, which is
the heait of the bin ley tobacco
industry in Kentucky.

idea
Dr. Wright's winning
stated that, "So much of our
modern literature Is concerned
with suffering and despair and
and
children
with depraved
events that its message seems
one of complete pessimism. Has
the world's great literature in
the past been more moral and
affirmative than our present-da- y
literature? What have the philosophers and critics in the past
had to say about the positive and
moral qualities in great literature?"
Dr. Wright, who is relieved
from teaching duties for one
semester to compose and do research work, is currently working on an opera based on the
life of Mary Todd Lincoln. This
opera is to be a part of the UK
centennial festivities and will be
produced in April.

The Color TV market is In full bloom
and GT&E along with it.
The reason? Our Sylvanla subsidiary
has made dramatic advancements in the
performance standards of color TV sets.
In developing these new receivers,
Sylvania drew upon the vast research facilities of GT&E. One result: the Sylvania

"Color Bright 85" picture tube using a
revolutionary new red phosphor that increases brightness on the average of 43

percent over the industry standard.
Our Sylvania Electronic Components
Group is one of the two largest suppliers
of receiving tubes and picture tubes . . .
used by 7 out of 10 TV set makers.

As a major factor in all phases of communication through sight and sound, it
is small wonder that GT&E has become
one of America's foremost corporations.
If you're looking for a young, aggressive company with no limit to its growth,
you may wish to view GT&E In the light

History Interprets Communism
Communists have their interpretation of history -- and sometimes they
try to give history a shove, desperately seeking to prove they are right. But
the fact is that history is stronger
than communism and can interpret
communism (with its aberrations and
heresies) with greater accuracy than
the other way around.
These reflections are prompted by
the current remarkable visit to Washington of the Romanian Government
delegation led by Gheorghe Gaston-Marideputy chairman of his country's Council of Ministers. It caps
a whole series of actions indicating a
considerable Romanian defiance of
Moscow's over-al- l
control of the East
European Communist countries.
the RoGheorghe Cheorghiu-Dej- ,
manian Communist leader, and his
colleagues carefully explain the course
they have chosen in strict ideological
terms. But their behavior is far more
easily understandable if seen in the

tradition of Romanian national

sur-

vival within a sea of Slavs.
The name of their country is indicative of the Romanians' Latin origin. They claim descent from the Romans ol Dacia. They speak a language with Latin roots, But, unusually, they are a Uitin people who embraced the Eastern Orthodox faith.

Romanian acceptance of communism after World War II would
certainly seem to stem partly from a
similar motive. (Of course, one cannot overlook the force majeure of the
Red Army.) With the Romanians now
emerging almost as independent of
Moscow as are the Yugloslavs and
Albanians, there are grounds for believing that the Romanian Communist
leaders knew what they were doing as
Romanians all along.
Most interesting of all are the
relative quid and the unruffled steps

which Mr. Gheorghiu-Dc- j
arrived at the point where he can deal
on his own with both Peking and
Washington -- without Moscow either
being able to stop him or pronouncing anathemas on him. Soviet Premier
Khrushchev must be about as reassured by Mr. Cheorghiu-De- j
's actions as was President Johnson by
General de Gaulle's recognition of
Peking and the French leader's pronouncements on Vietnam or on
NATO.
It all goes to show that the Romanian flair for national survival -part of which is a remarkable opportunism -- is something that even

Letters To The Editor
To The Editor of the Kernel:
Mr. Ralph McGill, the liberal
publisher of the Atlanta Constitution
whose column you reproduce for us
faithfully each day, informs us in the
Kernel of Oct.
that many people
are frightened and concerned by the
support given Sen. Goldwater by
and Klan groups in the South.
The intent of writers like McGill in
dwelling constantly on this subject is
to establish a Pavlovian association of
Goldwater: extremism in as many
voters as possible.
However, many of his observations
would have been equally valid for any
of the several (Democratic) presidential candidates, such as Tilden, Hancock, Cleveland, Bryan, Parker, Wilson, Cox, Davis, F. D. Roosevelt, Stevenson or Kennedy who handily carried the South in the past. It would
be difficult to believe that all these
imminent Americans were captives
of dark and sinister forces, or that
there was a malign aura about them
that tended to attract the political
dregs of the South.
Of course, the situation was that
the South was overwhelmingly Democratic in sentiment due to the reaction against Reconstruction, and
voted, Klansmen and all, overwhelmingly for any Democratic candidate
who was nominated. Today, the South
is an especially conservative section
of the nation, and the conservative
position of Sen. Goldwater appears
1

anti-Semiti- c

to be offsetting to some extent the
traditional loyalty of the South to
the Democratic Party. That some of
the aforementioned
dregs can be
found included in this political shifting about does not seem to me to be
of any great significance, Mr. McGill
to the contrary.
Could extremism be found in
Pres. Johnson's support in the liberal
East?

To mention just one of several
possible examples, the Worker, official
newspaper of the American Communist Party, has editorially called on
Communists to help Pres. Johnson
defeat Sen. Goldwater in November.
Are we frightened and concerned
by the candidacy of Pres. Johnson
for reelection because of the
support
of this group?

A Texan Speaks On Johnson

To the Editor of the Kernel:
I was born in Texas over
20 years ago. My mother went
Texas State
to Southwest
Teacher's College. A classmate of hers was a young man
who wore the same gray suit
and red tie every clay. He did
not have any money to slide
through college as other men
were doing, and had to work
his way through. Shortly alter his graduation, this man
was appointed by Franklin
Delano Roosevelt to a position as youth direc tor for one
of the late president's programs. From that time until
the present, that man has
served his country.

In 1960, he was called the second most powerful man In the
nation. He had held his position
as majority leader of the United

States Senate longer than any
other man in this nation's history. He had led the Senate
while the administration was retreating in Korea, setting up two
recessions, losing Cuba, losing
Tibet, and generally falling behind in tact and diplomacy. As
an example, consider Eisenhower's first defense of the 2 incident when he said the U-- 2
plane was strictly a weather observation plane that was off
course. Consider Eisenhower's
hasty reappraisal a few days
later when he "admitted" that
2
the
was a spy plane. Consider the Sherman Adams scandal. Eisenhower's chief assistant,
literally the man in charge of
everything too "unimportant" to
bother the president, accepted
gifts from a wealthy merchant
by the name of Bernard Goldfine.
These things, however, one must
forget because they do not fit
in with the Republican image
that "must" be reinstilled in the
White House.

Winds Of Change
Drunken Guard
By RALPH McGILL
On that fateful and fearful
night of April, 1865 when
Abraham Lincoln was shot by
John Wilkes Booth, the guard
at the door had gone to an
adjoining saloon for a drink.
The guard, John P. Parker, was
a shiftless, unreliable member of
the Washington City police. He
was a drunk. He had been arrested for a number of minor crimes.
In the dreadful days after the
assassination there' was wonder
that a man of such poor background and with so bad a record was ever selected as a presidential bodyguard. It was, likely, a favor done far down the
line of authority for someone
who knew Parker and asked that
he be given a chance for extra
money. Parker was, for example,
three hours late getting to the
job on this evening of doom.
Parker, after the President and
party reached Ford's Theater,
dutifully examined the box and
found it empty. At a little before
9 o'clock he became bored with
sitting outside the door of the
box and walked out of the theater. He saw the driver of the
President's carriage nodding in
the driver's seat. That driver
would testify later that Parker
said, "How would you like a
little ale?" At that moment,
Forbes, footman and valet, also
came out of the theater and
joined him. They went to the
bar at nearby Taltavul's tavern
and began to drink.
Already, of course, a conspiracy was in motion. By one of the
queer quirks of chance John
Wilkes Booth, leader of that conspiracy, also stopped in Taltavul's tavern. He ordered whiskey.
Taltavul recalled it In later testimony because always before the
actor had asked for brandy. Down
at one end of the bar Parker, the
guard, the coachman, and the
valet were busy with their ale.
A drunk peered at Booth, recognizing him, and said, "You'll
never be the actor your father

was." That drunk, incidentally,
was never located for testimony.
But men recalled that Booth
smiled thinly and said, "When I
