Now that the dust has settled
on the New Hampshire Primary
and time has allowed clearer view
of its implications across the na
tional political scene, it appears
that Robert F. Kennedy is
currently in the lead for the Vice-
Presidential nomination. This
paints a picture of a Johnson-
Kennedy ticket that will in all
probability sweep a considerable
majority in the national elections.
Despite the reported rift be-

tween Robert Kennedy and Presi
dent Johnson it seems to me that
both men are fully aware of the
potentialities of a combined tic
ket. It will be a vote getter that
will be topped by none, and I
predict that Johnson will be elect
ed by the largest majority since
Eisenhower was elected.
For one thing, unless the Re
publicans pull off a miracle and
come up with a candidate that in
the words of Richard Nixon “can
unite the party and arouse the
country on the major issues, par
ticularly foreign policy,” then the
electroate will be forced to con
sider Barry Goldwater, and that’s
too much for any sensible individ
ual, especially after his long list
of utterances that have made even
the most staunch of conservatives
blush in embarrassment for him.
Who does this leave for the
GOP to consider for the nomina
tion ? How about old Rocky ?
Well, according to the New York
World Telegram, top New York
State Republican party chiefs
have “virtually given up” on Gov.
Nelson A. Rockefeller’s presiden
tial candidacy and will refuse to
support him publicly in the June
2 primary. Although John A.
Wells, national campaign direc
tor for the Rockefeller National
Campaign Committee, called the
report “Specious speculation, un
supported by fact or political con
siderations,” there is cause to
believe that Rockefeller’s per
formance in New Hampshire has
been enough to sink his political
fortunes to a new low.
The one bright spot in the GOP
horizon appears to be Ambassa
dor Lodge. But the truth of the
matter is that he is an entirely
unknown quantity on the national
political scene. He is a sincere,
able and dedicated man who will
probably suffer the fate of Ad-
lai Stevenson. It seems to be the
fate of any candidate that has the
slightest hint of intellectualism
about him, to be immediately
classified as a fragile flower of
intellect that cannot stand the
day to day seaminess of national
politics. What a waste!
Although Nixon has stated that
he does not expect to be nominat
ed, since he will not campaign be
fore the national convention, it
seems to me that there will in all
probability be a draft Nixon cam
paign before too long. Republi
cans frequently regard Nixon as
politically burnt out. However,
if the GOP comes to the conclu
sion that no other Republican will
stand in a favorable spotlight,
Nixon may not be as “old hat” as
previously thought.

‘Big Run 9 Deleting
Silver Dollars
WASHINGTON CP) _ The big
run on silver dollars continued
at the Treasury Monday and Sec
retary of the Treasury Douglas
Dillon said the supply will be ex-
haused if Congress does not au
thorize further coinage.
However, he told the House
Banking Committee that if the
Treasury runs out of silver dol
lars, it is prepared to redeem
silver certificates with pieces of
silver bullion worth a dollar or
five dollars. There’s plenty of
silver for that, he said.
He added that if Congress
wants to authorize resumption of
silver-dollar coinage the Treasury
will not object to making the
coins with a little less silver than
is contained in the present ones.
The secretary discounted the
idea that much of the demand
for the shiny cartwheels comes
from those who want to melt
them down and sell the silver
and other metals which currently
are valued at a bit more than
a dollar. He said the big de-
Thanks for the offer to ride with you, but I just remem
bered that I have a 5 o’clock class. So you’d better go with
out me!”

Dillon explained that the half-
dollars pose no more than a pass

into the future and proposed to
President Johnson that the

work or not.
revolt of Negroes in the United
States is part of a world move
ment “toward the establishment
of social and political regimes in
which every individual will feel
valued and none will feel reject
ed on account of this race.”
The proposal was presented by
the “Ad Hoc Committee on the
Triple Revolution” composed of
economists, educators, union lead
ers and others.
In a 20-page memorandum
delivered Sunday to the White
House, the committee based its
finding on three great upheav
als in the modern world, one eco
nomic, one military and one social.
1. The cybernation revoluation
— or the age of computers and
mechanical brains. “The com
bination of the computer and the
automated self-regulating ma
chine results in a system of al
most unlimited productive capa
city which requires progressively
less human labor,” the report said.
The cybernetics revolution has
broken down job-holding as a me
chanism for distributing goods
and services and has left a class
of crippled consumers in its wake,
many of whom live in poverty, the
report said.
Distribution should be divorced
from job-holding by providing
“every individual and every fam
ily with an adequate income as a
matter of right,” the committee
said.
Because of this, he said that
anyone who pays a premium for
the new 50-cent pieces will be
“a very foolish person”.

WELL-KNOWN FAMOUS PEOPLE: No. 1
This is the first in a series of 48 million columns examining the
careers of men who have significantly altered the world we live
in. We begin today with Max Planck.
Max Planck (or The Pearl of the Pacific, as he is often
called) gave to modern physics the law known as Planck’s
Constant. Many people when they first hear of this law, throw
up their hands and exclaim, “Golly whiskers, this is too deep
for little old me!”
(Incidentally, speaking of whiskers, I cannot help but men
tion Personna Stainless Steel Razor Blades. Personna is the
blade for people who can’t shave after every meal. It shaves
you closely, cleanly, and more frequently than any other
stainless steel blade on the market. The makers of Personna
have publicly declared—and do here repeat—that if Personna
Blades don’t give you more luxury shaves than any other
stainless steel blade, they will buy you whatever blade you
think is better. Could anything be more fair? I, for one, think
not.)

But I digress. We were speaking of Planck’s Constant, which
is not, as many think, difficult to understand. It simply states
that matter sometimes behaves like waves, and waves some
times behave like matter. To give you a homely illustration,
pick up your pencil and wave it. Your pencil, you will surely
agree, is matter—yet look at the little rascal wave! Or take
flags. Or Ann-Margret.
Planck’s Constant, uncomplicated as it is, nevertheless pro
vided science with the key that unlocked the atom, made space
travel possible, and conquered denture slippage. Honors were
heaped upon Mr. Planck (or The City of Brotherly Love, as
he is familiarly known as). He was awarded the Nobel Prize,
the Little Brown Jug, and Disneyland. But the honor that
pleased Mr. Planck most was that plankton were named after
him.
Plankton, as we know, are the floating colonies of one-celled
animals on which fishes feed. Plankton, in their turn, feed
upon one-half celled animals called krill (named, incidentally,
after Dr. Morris Krill who invented the house cat). Krill, in
their turn, feed upon peanut butter sandwiches mostly—or,
when they are in season, cheeseburgers.
But I digress. Back to Max Planck who, it must be said,
showed no indication of his scientific genius as a youngster.
In fact, for the first six years of his life he did not speak at all
except to pound his spoon on his bowl and shout “More gruel!”
Imagine, then, the surprise of his parents when on his seventh
birthday little Max suddenly cried, “Papa! Mama! Something
is wrong with the Second Law of Thermodynamics!” So aston
ished were the elder Plancks that they rushed out and dug the
Kiel Canal.
Meanwhile Max, constructing a crude Petrie dish out of two
small pieces of petrie and his gruel bowl, began to experiment
with thermodynamics. By dinner time he had discovered
Planck’s Constant. Hungry but happy, he rushed to Heidelberg
University to announce his findings. He arrived, unfortunately,
during the Erich von Stroheim Sesquicentennial, and everyone
was so busy dancing and duelling that young Planck could find
nobody to listen to him. The festival, however, ended after
two years and Planck was finally able to report his discovery.
Well sir, the rest is history. Einstein gaily cried, “E equals
me squared!” Edison invented Marconi. Eli Whitney invented
Georgia Tech, and Michelangelo invented the ceiling. This
later became known as the Humboldt Current.

Mr. Shulman is, of course, joshing, but the makers of
Personna Blades are not: if, after trying our blades, you
think there’s another stainless steel blade that gives you
more luxury shaves, return the unused Personnas to Box
500, Staunton, Va., and we’ll buy you a pack of any blade
you think is better.
