Editorial - LOOKS MORE LIKE TED EVERY MINUTE The nearer the Democrats get to Miami Beach the greater the stature of Ted Kennedy becomes as the only candidate that the party can present who can in any manner command the attention of the voters in November. And the longer the Sen- ator from Massachussets can belabor the Klein- dienst affair in Washington the more obvious it becomes that he is under the veneering of \no in- terest\ genuinely interested in becoming the party's standard bearer in the Presidential elections. - The results of the state primaries have placed the three leading contenders, Humphrey, Muskie and McGovern, is so scrambled a situation that it would seem that each has killed his opponents off. Not too many weeks ago Senator Muskie seemed to have the nomination right in the palm of his hand. Senator McGovern was still the darling of the doves and Senator Humphrey, by virtue of having been the 1968 candidate against Nixon, was the titular head of his party in the country and in position of commanding attention. ‘ New Hampshire, Florida, Wisconsin, Pennsyl- vania and Massachusetts have changed all of this. In addition to making a disappointing run in New Hampshire, Muskie has bombed in the remaining primaries. McGovern has made fimpressive stands in Wisconsin and Massachusetts and Humphrey, with the assistance of organized labor, swept to his first primary win in Pennsylvania. It might be noted that Governor George Wal- lace presently is right among the contenders with his impressive win in he has made in the other primaries. But there are few in the country outside the Governor himself, and that is a matter of conjecture, who believes that he has any chance to head the Democratic ticket. © Kennedy has kept aloof by remaining out of the primaries consequently he has no peace to make with any candidate or the voters, He has consistently and persistently kept himself and the Kleindienst affair frontpaged. And seemed to be the only one who was especially interested in keep- ing the Kleindienst investigation as a continuing agenda of the Senate Judiciary Committee; ob- viously as a public ferum for himself. . When all the r the smoke has been removed from the plush Miami Beach hotel rooms and the kingmakers have had their opportunity of championing their favorite candidates, Ted Kennedy is the only one who can come out of the affair lily-white and the reluctant dragon. It seems as simple as that. NOW MIGHT BE THE TIME We are led to believe that the advise of Jack Zimmerman that the Village of Medina employ Florida and the showing that |; flown fur has settled down and - some type of executive administrator, either through a return to the Village Manager Plan, or otherwise, fell on some receptive ears among the Village - . Board. There are too many facets of municipal government and they are too technical and involv- ed to command the necessary attention of elected officials, as well qualified as they are in their own particular fields of endeavor. More and more cities and vil ty governments as well, are reaIiZinf just a matter of good business principles being ap- villages, and coun- this. It is _- plied to a concem with a large tax dollar outlay and the work incident to the many Federal and State agencies who are now partners in local gov- ernment. The Lighter WASHINGTON (UPD) -In a new book called \Marriage: For and Against,\ a mixed bag of deep thinkers examines the question of whether the institu- tion of matrimony can, or should, continue to survive. I don't suppose they planned it that way, but publication of the book coincided with the observance of National Hostility Week. It also coincided with a Life magazine article captioned \What's Happening to Mar- riage?\ Although no clear-cut answer was forthcoming from either source, the consensus seemed to be that legalized monogamy in its present form is obsolete. But when the wedlock ana- lysts began groping around for suitable substitutes and altera- tions, they floundered rather badly. 'No fault\ divorce laws; communal marriages; im- proved marital therapy; scienti- fic selection of spouses-these were a few of the suggestions. Problem Not Understood Which is what comes of trying to devise a solution without really understanding the problem. The notion that an appro- priate marital partner can be selected scientifically is, for example, preposterous. A better case can be made for removing the clement of choice entirely Side By DICK WEST United Press International and leaving it all up to chance. After all, what word does \marital\ most resemble? The answer, of course, is \martial.\ And there you have the key. to connubial durability. : In order to make nuptial contracts viable, we must recognize that matrimony, is essentially militaristic - that wedlock is warlike. From which premise three points arise for consideration : f 1. Although soldiers live together under more rigorous conditions than: the: average married couple experiences, the AWOL rate is far smaller than the national divorce rate, which is edging up toward 50 per cent. Marriage Largely Voluntary 2. The Army gets most of} its personnel through conscription, whereas marriage is largely voluntary. ' You have, most likely, already anticipated the third point, which is: 3. If the United States had a national marriage draft, known perhaps as the Selective Spouse System, it would go a long way toward restructuring matrimo- ny to withstand the stresses of modern life. At 18, both sexes would register for the draft. Monthly quotas, based on demographical factors, would be established. Numbers would be drawn by lottery and the designated registrants would be drafted 9 MEDINA JOURNAL-REGISTER _ \ THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 1972 . Warming Climate! U.S. Ma Also. Turn Smile Toward Cuba PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Partly as a spin-off from President Nixon's endeavors to improve relations with China and the Soviet Union, among Latin American nations there is recurring speculation that a change in the U.S. attitude toward Cuba also is in the works. ' Secretary of State Willliam P. Rogers helped to fuel it earlier this month when he told the second General Assembly of the Organization of - American States in Washington that the United States \of course would act in concert with our fellow members in the OAS\ if a change in Cuban policy should justify reconsideration of econ- omic and diplomatic sanctions against her. At the same meeting, the Peruvian foreign minister, Brig. Gen. Antel de la Flor Valle, expressed what appears to be a developing view point among Latin American nations when he criticized the \perpe- tuation of the isolation of Cuba.\ , He did not present the issue ALBANY, N. Y. (UPD- Indications were today that Gov- emmor Rockefeller might be the ultimate decider as to whatkind of elected school board Buffalo could have. The Assembly - approved Assemblyman Albert J. Haus- beck's plan for an elected board Wednesday, even though it differs from a Senate - passed measure by Sen. James Griffin, D-Buffalo. j , But the Republican Hausbeck said he hoped the legislature would approve both bills, \to let the governor decide which one to sign.\ Hausbeck's plan, was approved 86-41, after objections from Buffalo Democrats that it would \make the school board a political football.\ | Assemblyman Michael Mc- Carthy, D - Buffalo, also noted the Griffin plan was being back ; by - Councilwoman - Alfreda Slominski, a 1969 mayoral cand- idate. \Her reputation is that of a bigot and a racist,\ McCarthy said. \This woman has built her political career on busing.\ Hausbeck objected that Mc- Carthy's remarks did - not pertain to his bill. Both bills would let Buffalo formally but promised to do so later on. ._ Sanctions Voted The OAS voted sanctions against Cuba in 1964 after discovery of a Cuban arms cache on the coast of Venezue- la. | Seiveral Latin American coun- tries complained against Cuban attempts at subversion, and on 'July, 25, 1964, the organization voted 15 to 3 for sanctions. Chile, Mefieco and Uruguay opposed and Bolivia abstained. Since that time, membership in the OAS has increased to 23 without Cuba and it is believed that | at least eight now would favor lifting the bans in a formal vote. They are Chile, Trinidad-Tobago, Peru, Jamai- ca rexico, Barbados, Panama and | possibly Ecuador. Mexico continued its relations with Cuba despite the OAS vote, and Chile resumed them last? year. Several others, including Peru, have resumed economie contacts. Despite White House denials a rumor has gained strength among Cuban - exiles that presidential aide Henry Kissin- kger recently made a secret visit Bills voters decide this November if they want an elected, nine- member board instead of the current seven - member panel named by the mayor. Hausbeck would nave four- year terms, with the entire board elected at once. Griffin has five - year terms, with the terms staggered. Griffin would require a November election, while Haus- beck's bill would let voters decide if they want to elect the school board in November or May. If approved this November, the first school board election would be in 1973. Hausbeck's bill had been approved by the Assembly previously, but was re - passed after technical amendments.

This column be- longs to Journal - Register readers to set forth their views. Letters should be as brief as possible and must be signed in the writers' own hand). To The Editor: For the past seven or eight years I have heard repeatedly and with some assurance that we would soon be out of the Vietnam conflict. Who was everyone trying to fool? I don't claim to be an expert on the Vietnam situation; I suppose one would have to visit Indo- China asan impartial observer to do that, but I've taken a course in Southeast Asian Governments and I have attended lectures from right-wing Robert Welch of the \John Birch Society,\ to left- wing John Kerry of the ''Veterans Agains the War.\ From what I have observed, this country is afraid to admit that it made a gigantic mistake in Southeast Asia. Be it Dulles, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, or Nixon, it is evident that we had no conception of the Asian background. Right now Nixon is bombing North Vietnam. One of the major justifications for American bombardment of North Vietnam, which started in 1965, was that it would hamper infiltration of men and material from the North. Clearly this was a mistake, it failed for Johnson in 1965, it will fail for Nixon in 1972. Under what price- will we gain _so called \victory\ in Vietnam? Will it mean slaughtering more human beings, be it from Viet- cong terrorism or American no plan bombing? Will the price of \victory\ mean burning and killing for every new foot of into matrimony. Unless they managed to wrangle a defer- ment. Left to their own devices, as the book points out, \the wrong people marry for the wrong reasons.\ But if thrown togeth- er in the classic Army pattern, marriage would have a fighting . chance. ground gained? Or will it be the certain alienation of all the Vietnamese people. We can't win the people by destroying them and then trying to win them over with aid. The impact of this war has been tremendous. In the past six years we have spent 'over 120 - billion dollars, or about $600 per capita. Many of our troops have become addicted to heroin. We have incurred 350 thousand military casualties, The South | Vietnamese 470 thousand, the North 715 thousand. Munitions totalled 11,444,533 tons, and herbicides have ruined 20 p.c. of South Vietnam's vegetation, and have caused many birth defects. So why am I writing this let- ter? Some one has to. Nixon may be withdrawing troops, but the bombing remains and electronic warfare maims. Over the years it has been proven that we cannot win a war in Asia. ' There is one politician who has worked many years to end this war. He will end the war; his name is George McGovern. I urge all those voting for the first time to vote for a man of peace. You older voters; your last three or four presidents have failed in their efforts. Give McGovern a chance. . B RICHARD BARRY Siena College To The Editor: The Town of Barre has a zoning, enforcement officer, Herbert B. Lowman, 4635 Oak: Orchard Rd. In the zoning or- dinance there is a provision for \no junk yards allowed\ but on East Lee Road there is one. On East Barre Road there is an auto junk yard. The state law says only one without plates. Also, on the Angevine Road a large yard of junk drawn from Thomas J. Lipton Soup Co. is seen. Also -- two junk yards on Hemlock Ridge Rd. - Mr. Lowman is also on the Town of Barre Planning Board. What is being done about the situation? Nothing. The zoning ordinance is dated July 19, 1971. SAMUEL BUCKNER 5174 Oak Orch. Rd. to Cuba while ostensibly on a Mexican vacation. The State Department also has warned against any thought that a door is being opened for Castro. Official U.S. View The official U.S. view is that sanctions cannot be lifted so long as Cuba retains its close military ties with the Soviet Union and so long as it espouses the export of its own revolution - to other - Latin American lands. Giving force to State Depart- ment and White House warn- ings that no immediate change is in prospect was the. disclosure in mid-April that Nixon had ordered U.S. war- ships in the Caribbean to prevent by force if necessary Cuban seizure of merchant vessels of countries \friendly\ to the United States. . The order resulted from Cuban seizure last December of two merchantmen operating out of Miami under Panamanian registration. Castro himself, now ap- proaching seniority among La- tin American dictators, has predicted a new - era - of friendship with the United States but not as long as Nixon remains President. The Cuban economy remains tightly bound to the Soviet Union. Castro is now believed to owe Moscow something like $4 billion, with the total mounting by more than $2 million per day. It is a debt the Soviets cannot realistically hope to collect.
