Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - October 9, 1970, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it pleasant news partly Cloudy vol. 92, no. 238mt. Pleasant Iowa Friday evening october 9, 1970 Price to cents these Days by John Chamberlain the a Radic Libs put on sheep a clothing the democrats giving heed to the Jacobin mood of last Spring when the campuses were in their full May Day uproar followed through by nominating a fair number of candidates who have appropriately been called now at a time when vice president Agnew seems to be getting poll changing applause for his daily tweaking of the radio Libs the More extreme of the democratic leftist characters Are running like rabbits before a Forest fire to get away from the impeachment. The sight is comical As the political Campaign moves into the fiord frenzies of october. Adlai Stevenson Iii the democratic nominee for the Senate in Illinois has never been More than a part time a Radic lib a but in defense of the Young hoodlums who tried to break up the 1968 democratic National convention in Chicago he did refer to mayor Daley a police As a storm troopers in since his statement the Chicago police have sometimes been More Black and Blue than Blue six of them were hospitalized by the merry music lovers who turned out for a Rock festival last july. Republican senator Ralph Smith has recently been closing the Campaign Gap Between himself and the third Adlai by ramming the a storm trooper statement Down his opponents Throat. So now Adlai is being Nice As pie to mayor Daley and making Law and order speeches that sound As though they were being ghosted in Ralph Smiths own office. A Smith a Law officer appreciation Resolution recently passed the Senate by unanimous Vole. Too u. S. Representative Allard Low Enstein of new York a real Raduc lib is currently in medium High dudgeon about some of his fifth District new York opposition because they Call him a the voice of maybe the allegation in t fair but Lowenstein did spearhead the movement to a dump Lyndon Johnson Back in 1968, and he was at least the voice of those who wanted to have us get out of the Way of the heirs of to Chi Minh in Southeast Asia. In California where representative John Tunney is now trying to wrest the u. S. Senatorial s at away from incumbent George Murphy the comical Ity grows like a Young eucalyptus. Once a Dove of doves Tunney has nigh forgotten the vietnamese Issue. He has been attacking George Murphy a anti smog amendment. This is hardly a Haymaker in the Gene Tunney heavyweight tradition for it firmly identifies Murphy As an enemy of that stuff in the air that causes tears to be the los Angeles substitute for rain. Could anything be nicer for Nice Guy Murphy too the funniest sight on the horizon is Connecticut a Joe Duffey the National chairman of americans for democratic action Ada who is the democrats nominee for the u. S. Senate. The hard hat labor boys in Connecticut dislike Joe Duffey which is an understatement. Joe said in 1968 that a i guess you could Call me a revisionist he qualified the nature of his revisionism by saying that me lacked sympathy for the maoists. Now he is trying to laugh it All off As a joke. But a lot of Connecticut democrats done to think Duffey is a convincing Jokester. A prominent democratic state Central committeeman Daniel Cosgrove has just thrown his support to the Independent candidate incumbent senator Tom Dodd saying that a Joe Duffey is not a democratic Liberal he is a left Wing Dodd supporters say that Cosgrove is merely the part of the iceberg that shows. Too meanwhile the Republican nominee Lowell p. Weicker jr., has been looking Happy As he woos the Cen Ter to right by showing up at a testimonial dinner for conservative John Lupton whom he Defeated in the Republican primary. Weicker was asked to sit at the head table in a love feast that had commen Tator editor William f. Buckley jr., the speaker of the evening promising to support Weicker if a it Hurt such Breaks Arentt coming Joe Duffey a Way at democratic dinners. Why Haven to the Radic Libs and those who were close to them the courage to acknowledge their convictions of last May if they were lying then it can Only be that they Are sheep who have recently discarded their Wolf togs in favor of getting their sheep a clothing out of the Mothballs. If on the other hand they were really being Hon urges phase out of one or two state mental health institutes Des Moines up a a plan to completely reorganize Iowa a system of penal and mental institutions thursday was submitted to the department of social services by a legislative committee. On a 6-3 vote the budget and financial control committee agreed to place an eight Point program suggested by rep. Richard Radi a Lisbon on the Agenda of a two Day meeting with social services officials nov. 12-13. Too Radi proposed the massive changes in a letter to committee chairman rep. Elmer Den Herder a Sioux Center. He said he was suggesting a revamp of the institutions because they were growing in a size complexity and Cost instead of restricting their activities. Radi urged the phase out and eventual closing of one or possibly two of Iowa a four mental health institutes now located at Clarinda Cherokee Independence and it. Pleasant. In addition the representative urged eliminating the Iowa a women reformatory at Rockwell City and either the state Penitentiary at fort Madison or the menus reformatory at Anamosa. Too Over the past to years he said Radi said the inmate population of both mental and penal institutions has steadily declined. The decline is a Mark of work Well done in the areas of treatment and care he said. Rather than accepting their changing roles Radi contends the penal system and four mental health institutes have met declining inmate populations a by extending activities in to areas far outside their original Charters. Too to accommodate the a hard cores women prisoners from Rockwell City Radi suggested sharing a facility with surrounding states. The same institution could handle inmates from the menus facility that was eliminated. Radi called for a new state institution specifically designed to treat drug addicts and replace All attempts of treatment in existing institutions. He said similar programs of treatment for the alcoholic .he�?T11 be switched to regional City enters financed on a shared basis by cities counties and the state. Radi said Only custodial care should be provided for mental handicapped persons whose in or mental age Levels fall below a certain Point. For those above the prescribed level Radi recommended a continuation of extended care services. The mental health Institute at Independence should take Over treatment of Young persons and All emotionally disturbed segments of the population said Radi. If the present facilities at Independence Are not adequate Radi suggested expanding the institution to meet the needs. In his letter Radi said plans for changes in the social services department should be ready within the next three months. A considering the glaring prominence of the problems any longer period would constitute evasion of responsibility a he said. Too Radi cited several examples of blatant abuses of state appropriations by the institutions. He accused institutions of launching costly programs not because they Are useful but Only to give the impression of usefulness. At Clarinda Radi said officials operate a vocational guidance program for the retarded in a virtually empty Hall that contains a no furniture no testing equipment no books or other institutions have programs a whose Only purpose is to insure larger staffs and he criticized an abortive Public school system operated by the prisons and mental health institutes often in an attempt to educate the e whose mental Levels make instruction impossible. The suggestions were sent on to social services with Little discussion but a fight on several of the Points was expected from social services officials.
