Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - May 14, 1970, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it pleasant news vol. 92, no. 114mt. Pleasant Iowa thursday evening May 14, 1970 Price to cents showers these Days by John Chamberlain when the Good and the bad Are mixed although some of the More Radical critics of this column will abort derisively to hear it said i make a very bad partisan. Things with me get inextricably mixed. There a Robert Maynard Hutchins for instance who does a disservice to democratic institutions almost trying to halt move to prevent spending for War Washington sense Secretary up a de i pained to a closed meeting of the Melvin r. Laird Republican members of the Senate any time he opens his Mouth on and top presidential adviser Henry by undersecretary of state Elliott the subject of u. S. Foreign policy. But i can to forget that Bob Hutchins when he was president of the University of Chicago did More to improve the processes of higher education in this country than any other educator of his time. Almost single Anderly he checked the spread of the John Dewey Type of permissiveness that in extreme instances was actually driving the use of Basic books out of education. Hutchins remembered his own Yale undergraduate courses in which he was Seldom asked to read a source work such As Adam Smiths a wealth of nations or for that matter Karl Marx so Adas he wanted to change All that and to get the students Back to Reading the formative a great books of the Western tradition. To the extent that he succeeded in his crusade Hutchins must be remembered with gratitude by All the conservatives and True liberals despite his latter Day political heresies. Then there is supreme court Justice William o. Douglas. I think his writings on the alleged iniquities of our a a establishment whatever that is Are pure Bosh. Most of the educational Quot establishment a so called actually agrees with Bill Douglas on such subjects As the vietnamese War and the a military Industrial if he thinks our College presidents Are partisans of the a new King George Iii a he is seeing things quite upside Down. Too when i wind up to throw a sunday punch at Bill Douglas however i am summarily halted by a recollection that he along with Justice Hugo Black has been in the forefront of the opposition to those who support the use of Union funds for politically partisan purposes. Every conservative and True Liberal must agree with what Justice Douglas wrote in 1961 when he said a the collection of dues for paying the costs of collective bargaining of which each member is a beneficiary is one thing. If however dues Are used or assessments made to promote or oppose birth control to repeal or increase the taxes on cosmetics to promote or oppose the admission of red China into the United nations and the like then the group compels an individual to support with his Money causes beyond what gave Rise to the need for group action. A i think the same must be said when Union dues or assessments Are used to elect a governor a congressman a senator or a president. A selective use of Union funds for political purposes subordinates the individuals first amendment rights to the views of the majority. I do not see How that can be done even though the objector retains his rights to Campaign to speak or to vote As he chooses. For when Union funds Are used for that purpose the individual is required to finance political projects against which he May be in because Bill Douglas has been a conservative or True Liberal defender of the first amendment against Al Cio president George Meany a attempt to undermine it when it is to the unions interest to deny the full rights of free speech to their opponents both inside and outside the labor movement i can to look with favor on the efforts to impeach him. He has been a a strict constructionist on the first amendment. A Haynsworth or a Carswell have done better. In the present climate of opinion which favors the All out partisan i have a hard time. I respect the motives of those people who have taken me to task for opposing the Effort to impeach Douglas. He certainly deserves chastisement of some sort for the stupid statements about the a new George Iii made in his recent Book. But impeachment should be reserved for justices a or presidents a who wilfully subvert the Constitution not for Thise who have honest differences about interpretation. Distributed by King features Syndicate Kissinger conferred today with j Richardson. Senate republicans in an Effort to head off a burgeoning move to prevent president Nixon from spending any More Money for War activities in Cambodia. Laird and Kissinger were a com sees future Praise for fighting men Washington up a president Nixon predicted today at a medal of Honor ceremony that the american people a will look Back Quot at the Vietnam War in the future and Honor the contributions of the men who Are fighting it. The president presented the medal of Honor the nations highest award for gallantry to 12 servicemen in a ceremony in the White House East room.
