Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - July 18, 1970, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it pleasant news partly Cloudy vol. 92 no. 168 it. Pleasant Iowa saturday evening july 18, 1970 Price to cents these Days by John Chamberlain ebb and flow in the White House office building the changes in the Nixon administration Are certainly confusing. The republicans won in 1968 As an alternative to great society liberalism. But the conservatives in the White House establishment Are now a tattered remnant of a once big brigade. Clark Mollenhoff after a year As the White House corruption detective has gone Back to his newspaper. Arthur Burns has shifted to the Federal Reserve. Roger Freeman Tho author of stimulating papers which Point out the tremendous waste that masquerades As Federal Aid to education apparently grew restive in the role of White House thinker whose words never seemed to result in action and decided that a University Post was preferable. Dick Allen a foreign policy expert who called the turn on Czechoslovakia before it happened is now in private business. John Sears an adviser on Campaign strategies is now working for other Peoples campaigns not Nixon a. Alan Greenspan As Sharp As they come in economic analysis is Back in Wall Street. Richard Whalen student of defense strategies and an authority on the Kennedy never made it to the White House office building he did no to want to have to apply to the praetorian guard of Hal deman and Ehrlichman in order to open a conversation with the president. Too on the face of it or. Nixon has been cutting his communications with the conservative Community that did so much to elect him. But the surface indications could be misleading. Pat Buchanan who has worked for Nixon for a Long time and is As sound a Man As one could wish both on foreign and Domestic policy is not ignored his usefulness to the president May actually be increasing Martin Anderson who proved in his a the Federal Bulldozer that Urban renewal As practice by Nixon a predecessors had actually decreased the number of housing units available to the poor seems to be winning his Battle to put the White House behind the idea of a voluntary army. Meanwhile liberals who Are ideological holdovers from the great society Days Are leaving the Nixon employ almost As fast As the conservatives. Leon Panetta who flouted Southern sensibilities by the abrasive manner in which he supported instant school integration is no longer at hew. The ineffable James e. Allen who make up his mind on choosing Between Reading techniques for his right to read crusade was fired As commissioner of education. Henry Kissinger who knows the score about the communist efforts to outflank the West. Must have watched with equanimity when some of his staff resigned Over Cambodia. And if Bob Finch and George Shultz both of them liberals have the ear of the president As new members of the White House entourage this does no to mean that vice president Spiro Agnew has been shut out or shut up or asked to step Down for 1972. On the contrary he continues to be Nixon a favorite ambassador to Middle America. Too so where does All this leave us probably it is right where we have been standing All along the truth would seem to be that Nixon makes up his own mind after balancing the alternatives and that he has his Little ways of tapping the thoughts of the most diverse thinkers. He is aloof but he has a brain and his a a isolation is probably less than is popularly supposed. He went into office with a resolve to achieve external peace without surrendering to the communists and he shows no signs of backtracking on such a policy. On the other hand he was always a Middle of the roader on Domestic policy combining a belief in fiscal conservatism with willingness to spend what he has or can Hope to have for such things As family assistance. One May like this aspect of the Nixon character or not but at least there has never been any deception about it. As a final observation it must be said that the . Congress has a mind of its own which Means that our checks and balances Are working. The majority mind of the Senate is to my Way of thinking a disgrace. But the House of representatives is behaving with Honor and intelligence. It has just said a a Nix to the Cooper Church amendment thus pleasing the White House. However it has said a a not to the compulsory unionism feature of the postal Reform Bill. Nixon and his postmaster general red Blount wont like that.
