\iour Move Moscow There is something p i quant about that story of the two Scots who have been engaged in a chess game for 34 years , progressing at the rate of one move — b y mail — each Christmas. The p layers fi gure their game , started when both were students at Glasgow Univcr- sitv , will last another 15 years or so. The story prompts an intriguing thought about a solution for nothing less than the threat of nuclear war it- self. The idea is devastating l y simp le: let the Soviet Union and the West make their cold war moves at a vastl y more deliberate pace than has been their practice in recent times. Let them , instead of matching threat for threat , memorandum* lor memoran- dum , mobilization for mobilization in dizzy ing succession , pause for a year between moves. One mig ht even argue that if individuals can wait a year be- tween chess moves then nations oug ht to be able to limit themselves to acting at five-year intervals. But that may be asking too much; a yearl y interval would be all rig ht for a starter. The benefits are obvious . Having de- livered itself of a position paper on Berlin , say, Washington would know that it had a vear to concentrate on domestic affairs while Moscow was ru- minating its rep l y. Two years , reall y, because no rep l y to Moscow ' s rep l y would be expected until after another year had passed. Who knows what peacetime miracles mig ht be wroug ht during the uneventful intervals! There is one little hitch: doubtless neither Washington nor Moscow would agree to stated-interval di p lomacy. It does sound unrealistic — but no more so , really, than some of the clumsy maneuvering indul ged in b y statesmen under the guise of conducting inter- national affairs. Clean-Up Campai gn The Mastics Citizens Committee de- serv es support in its fig ht for greater community cleanliness and safety for Mastic. Mastic Beach and Shirley. The committee last week announced that it had \ oted to launch a barrage ot letters requesting some 40 to 50 ownei s ol what the committee feels to be sub-standard property to correct alleged \ unsanitary and unsafe condi- tions . Ow ners of burned-out houses and buildings, residential property on which automobile wrecks are kept and houses lacking sanitary facilities will be prime tai get.v a committee spokesman said. The committee p lans to ask these pro- perty owners in the three-community area to hel p make their communities more attractive and safer before report- ing them to the proper authorities. \But if no acknowled gment of our letter to a property owner is received wi thin a reasonable length of time , a comp laint will be turned over to the Suffolk Coun- tv' Health Department or the building department , \ John Rosso , president of the citizens committee , added. Let ' s hope all those concerned will cooperate in the interests of commu- nity prick so that the committee does not have to take any further action.

Site Editor , The Long Island Advance: On Jul y 6th , 1961 you had an item in the Advance that our Congressma n , Otis G. Pike , an- nounced that a new site has been selected by the Post Office De- partment for a new Post Office at Blue Point. Why? 1. Why, are we getting a new Post Office , on the outskirts of Blue Point , when our present Post Office is convenientl y and cen- trally located in the heart of Blue Point ? 2. Wh y, have they chosen the northeast corner of Blue Point when three-fourths of the popu- lation live around the present Post Office ? 3. Wh y, do they want to build a new Post Office , two blocks from the Patchogue boundary line, on a four lane highway, with all the hazards involved , when our present Post Office is so conven- ient ? 4. Why, do the folks living at the south end , west end and east end have to travel so much fur- ther , because of this ill-chosen location ? 5. Wh y, do they take away the priviledge of the elderly and chil- dren , (who do not have cars), the possibility of going to a centrally located Post Office ? 6. Why, do I (in the elderl y class) have to spend thirty-cents bus fare to mail a parcel post package or to get a money-order because of the proposed location ? 7. Why, must all the folks that live in the south , west and east end , have to face the hazard of a \U\ turn on a four-lane high- way to go to the Post Office ? 8. Why, will the elderly and the children that live west and south have to face the danger of cros- sing a four-lane highwa y to go to the Post Office ? 9. Why, can 't the large van trucks that have used our central location the past nine years con- tinue to use our present location ? 10. Wh y, don 't the people of Blue Point protest? Frederick G. Bruck Blue Point , August 4 , 1961 In 1890 the reappearance of sensationalism , the rise in promi- nence of evening papers , and great improvements in the mechanics of newspaper production marked a turning point in the evolution of the American newspapers.

Trials are costly and time-con- suming. Appeals follow appeals. Quite often I read where a wrong-doer is allowed to p lead guilty to a lesser crime. This , I presume , is to assure a conviction. So when a conviction is se- cured — after a police officer may have risked his life in making the arrest , after all the time , trouble and expense of the trial — it' s only logica l that the person be made to pay his debt to society. We need tougher judges , toug h- er juries and tougher laws if this alarming increase in crime is to be halted. Leniency encourages the fur- ther commission of crime and therefore is a crime in itself against society. Petticoat Justice—A Crime Against Society In the U. S. last year , 48 po- lice officers were killed in line of duty, 28 at the hands of killers , according to J. Edgar Hoover , di- rector of the FBI. Six of these officers , Mr. Hoover said , were slain bv vicious killers then benefiting from LENIENCY granted after conviction for crimes of murder , robbery, aggravated assault , burglary and forgery. Virtually every one of the po- lice murderers had been previous- ly arrested from one to 39 times on a wide range of reprehensible and malicious charges , the FBI director added. On top of this , more than 9 , 600 cit y police were assaulted while performing their duties. Crime in the United States reached an all-time high last year , with an astounding 98 per cent increase over 1950 , while the pop- ulation increase during this decade was only 18 per cent , the FBI chief stated. Judicial leniency is directl y to blame for a large part of this crime increase. Suspended sentences are handed out like ice cream cones. Piddling fines are the rule , rather than the exception. Why ? Who knows . I doubt if the gal with the blindfold on her eyes , holding the scales of justice , has the slightest idea herself. In the U. S. last year , a bur- glary was perpetrated every 39 seconds , a car was stolen every 2 minutes , there was a robbery every 6 minutes , Mr. Hoover said. Crime , for the past five years , has been rising over four times faster than the population. Thieves in 1960 stole loot amounting to over $570 , 000 , 000 ! And effective police work resulted in recovery of 52 per cent -of this stolen property. Would you like to join a police- man in a 90 or 100 mile-an-hour chase after a speeder ? Would you like to take that kind of a chance with your life , only to see the speeder get off with a stern warn- ing and small fine ? Just last week I read where New York City policemen are be- coming increasingly concerned over the number of occasions where ar- resting officers have been roug hed- up b y bystanders sympathizing with wrong-doers. A policeman can be attacked by a gang of hoodlums and it' s some- thing sort of a miracle if one per- son would step from a crowd of onlookers to help him. All of this is a symptom of moral decay in America. Flaunting the law is a growing national pastime. This is a direct outgrowth from the fact that peop le know they can break the law , and that if they do get caught there ' s a darned good chance they 'll get off with a suspended sentence or a short vacation in the local jug. - Long Island - SAYVILLE — An app lication for financial aid and assistance has been filed with the federal government by the Sayville Board of Education. The assistance is for current expenditures based on the school district' s location in an area affected by federal activity. * * * HUNTINGTON — The Hunt- ington Town Building Department has issued permits for the con- struction of over $18 , 000,000 new buildings during the first six months of the year , according to Chief Building Inspector Earl Wil- lets. Building of private homes led the list of building classifica- tions , totaling $12 , 109 , 658 for one and two famil y dwellings. Esti- mated costs of constructing four industrial buildings were given as $1 , 080 , 750. * * * AMITYVILLE — A 10-year-old boy suffered burns on both legs last week , when his p lay wagon caught in the third rail as the boy pulled it across the Long Island Rail Road track here. Jo- seph Koehler of Austin Avenue , fell in front of the wagon and his legs were enveloped in a show- er of sparks. He had lost his grip on the wagon ' s metal handle when it hit the power rail. * * - -H BAYPORT — Taxpayers here last week approved a department request for a $42 , 000 appropria- tion to purchase a 75-foot aerial truck with a vote of 69 to 14. * * * SOUTHA M PTON — An anti- ques sale and show , sponsored by the Southampton Colonial Society, will be held August 22 through August 25 in the Southampton Junior High School Auditorium. * * * HUNTINGTON — Three Re- publicans here , last week announc- ed p lans to run in the September primaries for the position of town councilman. The three are John F. Dolan , Anthony Nicosia and Wil- liam King. * * * WASHINGTON — The recent death of W. Kingsland Macy for- mer congressman and long-time Republican leader , was noted in the Congressional Record of July 19. Congressman Otis G.

Girding for Battle The eominii Fall election in Brook- es ha\ cn Town will be a wide open ailuir. No one can , at this point , successfull y jn ognosticate the result. The Democrats ha\ e the ed ge because they are the \ins \ , the Republicans should be able to recapture control tor the reason that there are far more of their political iaith icsidine here than there are Demo- ciats. The Denis will run on their record; the UOP with a long history of success- Jul accomp lishments and with a slate oi new taces and presumabl y l e d b y Charlie Dominv. should be able to put up a lig ht of no mean proportions. The COP is handicapped with the disaster that o\ crtook it at the polls two years ago with the exception of a sing le oihee — that of the hig hway depart- ment. The Denis have accomp lished some constructh c measures that were o\ ei due but thev have also failed in other matters. All of these things will be hi ought out lorcibly during the cam- paign b y the candidates who will do battle. It is interesting and encouraging to note that both parties are forgetting the heat and humiditv and that they are already girding themselves for the hot fi g ht to come. E\ ery bod y is g lad to read of Mr. Dominy ' s declaration that it w ill be a hard one but a clean one— we presume his adversaries arc of the same mind. Not Doing the Job There are valid arguments against compulsory federal health insurance. The claim that private insurance can adequately meet the rising cost of me- dical care is -not valid, however. Private insurance hel ps, but is demonstrabl y not now providing the amount of cov- erage needed b y the American peop le. This assertion can b y supported b y statistics showing how private coverage , thoug h excellent in princi p le , often falls down in cases of catastrop hic illness. But perhaps the point can be put across more effectivel y b y citing a sing le case. All this is brought to mind , indeed , bv exactly such a case. The victim is a 17-year-old g irl , d aug hter of a lab or er , who developed severe tetanus after her f oot was accidentally gashed. A month alter the accident , the girl was still in the hosp ital, where the bill was mount- ing at the rate of more than $750 a week. Th e g irl' s lather has medical insur- ance that will pay 80 per cent of the b i ll up t o $ 5 , 000 - a tot a l , that is , of $4 , 000. Ordinaril y, that much coverage M ould seem fine. But the significant thing here is that this is not an ordinary case; the total bilk as in many instances of catastrop hic illness , is expected to exceed the limit oi coverage b y a con- siderable sum. The case of the girl wi th tetanus is not unusual. In many cases , hospital care must go on for many months. Or- dinary resources simp l y fail to meet need of that magnitude. The fi gures on hosp italized illness show this over and over. Whatever arguments there may be against government assistance in footing medical care bills , the claim that private insurance does the j ob cannot be accepted as one of them.

Pike For some time now my mail has been heavily weig hted with letters urging the President and the Congress to \ stand up to Khrushchev \ . The President ' s speech on Berlin , the immediate action of my own Armed Services Committee and the Congress as a whole in author- izing the strengthening of our armed forces to the extent of a quarter of a million men show that the Congress is prepared to do j ust that. Those who say, however , that the peop le arc way ahead of the President oug ht to read my mail now! The onl y way the Americans can stand up to the Russians is for the Americans to stand up together. But there is a fairl y loud minority who want the other guy to do all the stand ing. I am getting letters from Reservists who don ' t want the Re- serves to be called up until everyone has been drafted ; from draftees who don ' t want to be drafted until all the reserves have been called up; from military officers (largel y retired) who want darn near everyone called up; and taxpayers who don ' t mind if every- one is called up as long as it doesn ' t cost anything, Of course , it can ' t be done that way. The great maj ority of my constituents realize it can ' t be done that way. We can ' t beef up our armed forces without getting more men , and the Secretary of Defense has set up a priority system to get those men . 1 believe it is a good system. First , they will try to make it attractive for experienced men to reen- list or to extend their current enlist- ment. Second , they will try to get more new men to enlist. Third, they will draft more men , and finall y, they will call up the reserves. Among reserves those who have been on a pay status will be called where possible before those on a non-pay status. In theory I believe it is a good , fair system. It will , of course , have some very roug h ed ges in practice. Husbands and wives will be separated; many lov- ed sons and some loved daug hters will leave those who love them , some will- ing l y, some not. The cost of this extra Hexing of our muscles is $3/2 billion. I onl y hope that all of us have the cour- age to pay for it ourselves , and not leave it to the next generation. I am sure they will have their own sacrifices to make. New Frontier task forces seem to be gathering up new tasks before the old ones have received full attention. In Washington IN 'YANKEES' CAST—Freddy Jayne , a former pup il of Jimmy Rocco of the Jimmy Rocco Studio of Dance , will appear profession- ally iat the Westbury Music Fair in the musical , \Damn Yankees \ , August 15-19. Mr. Jayne , 19 , is from Great River and is a graduate of East Islip High School , class of '58. In addition to being an excellent dancer , he also excelled in ath - letics while in high school as an outstanding wrestler of Suffolk County. After studying six years with Mr. Rocco and upon graduating frcm school , he was accepted at the Ballet Theatre School in New York City. He appeared in many benefi t shows in Patchogue including the \Rotary Frolics \ , \Kiwanis Kap- ers \ , and \Snoil\ . At the Westbury Music Fair , he is appearing with Julie Newmar , star of the Broadway and movie hits , \Li'l Abner \ and \Marriage- Go-Round\ . HERE'S AN OLDIE , but it still makes good sense: There was a man in our town And he was wonderous wise - He swore—it was his policy He would not advertise But one day he did advertise And thereby hangs a tale: The ad was set as a legal notice And headed , \ sheriff' s sale. \ — Stolen. * * * BALLOON CONTEST — Pat- chogue placed second or third in the distance balloon contest of Johnnycake Elementary School in Baltimore , Md. After the Jun e 9 storm Mrs. J. Arthur Johnson of 14 Shore Road , Patchogue , found a turquoise blue balloon June 10 on her lawn. At- tached was a card saying the Parent-Teacher Association of the school was sponsoring a contest in which a cash prize would be g iven to the student whose balloon was found the farthest distance from Baltimore. The Johnsons re- turned the balloon and tag to the school. On July 5 , Principal John M. Young of the school wrote Mr. and Mrs. Johnson in part , \We appreciate very much your inter- est in our balloon contest. . . Our first-prize winner was Gail Lewis , whose balloon was returned from South Yarmouth , Mass. The next two winners had balloons returned from Long Island , N. Y. \ One of the winners was obvious- ly Patchogue. The mystery re- mains. Was Patchogue second far- thest away or should another com- munity out east claim the runner- up honors ? — on — Main Street Bow to Torture Your Wife ATO > W » CUSSIC Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee Q. Should the tissues that come with engraved wedding invitations from the stationer ' s be left in place when they are mailed out , or should they be removed ? A. Unless they have been or- dered very far in advance so that you are sure the ink is well dried , it is safest to leave the tissues in place. Q. Is it really improper for a bride to take an active part in her wedding rehearsal ? A. This is not a matter of pro- priety, but rather of custom or su- perstition. It has become cus- tomary for some good friend to take the bride ' s role in the rehear- sal proceedings , while the bride sits on the sidelines and directs. Q. How is the best way to in- vite a wedding guest to the recep- tion ? A. By including a small card with the wedding invitation , read- ing: \Reception immediately after the ceremony (or at such-and- such a time) at such-and-such ad- dress — R.s.v.p. \ Q. Should a girl ever give a gift to a man whom she has been dating, and whom she especially likes ? A. Not unless she is engaged to the man , and even then the only gifts necessary are at Christmas and on his birthday. The two most popular features of the first American penny pa- pers , the humorous treatment of police court news and the reports of sensation criminal trials , were borrowed from the English press.
