Legs Foul- SCARLET AND BLACK Friday. October lo i964 Bayli: Greatest Battle is for Men' 5 Minds By Ann Showalter Senator Birch Bayh of In- gana climaxed Democratic ay events Tuesday with his peech, “The Great Society—At omo and Abroad,” at the 8 .mi rally in Darby Gym. ”We cannot solve the prob lems of the space age with stone rgc mentality,” Bayh declared. ‘We have to decide whether we 9 going to accept Lyndon ohnson’s challenge—to contin~ he to build the Great Society." He sketched the three main ’goals of the Great Societyi equal opportunity for everyone in America, gradual disarma- ment, and winning the support of emerging nations. He ex— plained how he feels the Ad ministration and the Congress have been moving toward these goals and how the pres ent Republican leadership has worked against them, “The right of equal opportun- ity is the right of every Amer- can boy and girl to dream and to make their dreams come true because they work for them,” Bayh stated. He feels America has moved closer to achieving the Great Society at home during the last four years. He cited bills passed by the Eightyrelghth Congress providing increased vocational education funds for college classrooms, libraries and equip- ment and loan programs for prospective doctors, dentists and nurses. _ Bayh praised the American arms program because “its aim is to protect the peace, not to wage war.” He hopes for a gradual reduction in the need for arms until “the day when man will sit down and talk about their problems instead of shooting them out.” The junior senator from In- diana said there was no bill he felt more honored to vote for than the ratification of the nuclear test ban treaty. “This is not the panacea,” he ad- mitted, “but it is the first time man has had the power to de- stroy the world that he has voted to limit this power.” He pointed out that Senator Barry Goldwater opposed the treaty. He also criticized the Repub- lican candidate’s opposition to the "hot line” between White House and Kremlin. “Anyone who has read Fail-Safe or seen Dr. Strangelove realizes there is a chance the hot line could prevent accidental nllclear dis- aster," he said. Bayli believes, ‘Only one man Should be entrusted with the fi- nal say in the use of the weap» Oils in our arsenal, and that man is the President of the United States.” Thus he op- poses Goldwater's plan to en- trust the field commanders with the authority to launch tac— tical nuclear weapons. According to Bayh, however, the greatest problem we face is not that of armed conflictl The real battle is the battle for men’s minds," He elaborated, ‘The emergv ing nations must choose be- tween the freedom we offer and the shackling of mind and body by the Communists," He suggested there is a close relationship between our abil- ity to solve problems within our country and our ability to win the “minds and hearts of these awakening men." “They are looking at us and they are looking at the Rue sians,” he declared, “and it is up to us to present America, the Great Society, in a manner that will spread the cause of freedom." Stressing the “need for dis content,” Bayl-l quoted Edmund Burke: “All that is needed for evil to prevail in the world is WELCOME HOMECOMERS And PARENTS Visit Cunningham Drug "Iowa’s Finesi Drug Store" it Enjoy A Candyland Sundae (A Grinnell Tradition) a Select Your Toiletries F om ‘Our Wonderful World of Cosmeiics a Foys And Gifts in “lake Home" fountain Snetlts DiAL 6-31-51 Bi 827 4th AVE. “with the GRINNELL for enough good men to do nothing.” The Senator feels a1 Ameri- cans have a responsi lity to elect competent officials and to work against poverty and illit- eracy themselves. Governor Harold Hughes of iowa also spoke at the rally. He appealed to lowa Democrats to work to elect the Democratic Candidates at all levels in the State. “A Democratic victory in Iowa will never be easy," he asserted. “We have to work harder than the opposition to be elected and reelected.” He emphasized the need for broader educational lacilities. “We lieed to take care of every- one f:‘.om those who are men- tally netarded to those who are especially gifted." The'governor promised in- creased vocational education services. stimulation of indus— try in the state, and extension of aid to the elderly. issue of Campaign Is Candidates' Judgement in Nuclear War Realm By Lynn Denzler Senator Birch anh, visiting politician - in - residence, stated before a student press confer ence Tuesday afternoon that the big issue in this year’s presi- dential campaign c o n c e r n s which man has the better judg- ment in determining the actions that a president might need to take in the realm of nuclear war. The indiana Democrat made the statement in contradicting an analysis offered last week by another visitor, Senator Peter H. Dominick (ll-Colo), who Said that he felt the issue of the campaign concerned cena tralizatlon of government. - Bayh said that he would con- sider centralization far down the line of issues “if it is an is- sue at all” and he went on to speak of the quality of judgment in the candidates. “The question isn't that Goldwater wants to start a war, and Johnson doesn’t,” he said. “Actually neither does” The youthful freshman Senator con- tinued by saying that the appar- ent inconsistencies in the stands that Republican candidate Bar- ry M, Goldwater takes in his speeches come from the fact that he is not as well versed 0n the issues as he should be. “His statements are those of a man who doesn’t use respon- sible judgment before he talks. You Can call it hipeshooting if you want," the Senator re— marked in answer to a student query. When asked about the appar— ent Democratic attempt to cov» er up the Bobby Baker scandal for political reasons, the Senna tor outlined Specific moves that have been made by the admin- istration to investigate the sub ject. Bayh stated that he him.= “violated self felt that Baker good conscience when he ped- dled influence. No one in the Senate Condones this,” he said. He was critical however of those who would make a pol"; icul football out of such a Situa- Lion. “The Republicans Want to make the Bobby Baker issue a big thing, but I have yet to' see his name on any ballot.” Bayh said. While speaking on this sub- ject the Senator said that he would support the establish- mcni of a code of ethics de- signed for‘membets of the Sen- ate. “This is a serious thing to all those who want government of great respect,” he told the stu— dents, “How can we get young people lik‘e'iyou to come into government when others have tried to tear it down.” As a freshman senator, he has been called a “rebel" by members of his party for stands he has taken against the ad- ministration-supported bills. In‘ defending his voting record, Bayh emphasized that he felt each senator should vote ac- cording to what he believed were the best interests of the country. When asked about the prob- lems of agriculture, Bayh said that he felt the Republican pro» posals were completely Inade< quate. “Taking the federal gow ernment out of agriculture with a snap at your fingers will only create chaos,” he continued. He further recognized that some definite improvements are needed by the administra- tion in this area. “What is needed is a long range answer and not stop—gap proposals,” he said. Returning to the problem of the president’s responsibility in determining possible nuclear war Bayh stated that he felt the president is the only qualified man to make such a choice. He emphasized that reason is needed today more than ever before and said, “It takes a bigger man to reason than it does to bluster." When asked about the results of the so-called “White back- lash" on the November voting returns, the Senator felt that many other issues would be more important when the filial time to vote arrives, He further felt that peaceiul Civil Rights demonstration, like any other, was part of a sacred right for any group, but added thut vio— lence in this area, which we have had, is detrimental l0 ulli- mate accomplishment," Bayh was quick to admit that the United States Was not win- ning in Viet Nam, but could not offer an answer to the prolr lem. He talked about the two apparent alternatives, to wage all out combat for Victory, or to pull out entirely, as inilile~ quate, and said that the U. S. was going to have to atij st what she has been doing in or- der to iind another solution.
