Millions Send Aid To Victims
Of Ration's Worse Disaster
Millions of people all over the
world sent aid for the victims of
that disastrous Nov. 4 floods that
devasted one third of the nation.
Was it well spent?
Italian press reports of Danish
boots and blankets blocked in a
Verona storehouse or U. S. Army
waterproof coats being issued to
policemen instead of flood victims 
were quickly denied. But they
aroused doubts here and abroad.
"It's easy for newspapers to criticize 
but when disaster hits one
third of the national territory suddenly, 
it isn't easy to organise
aid," said a spokesman for the
Italian Red Cross, which handled
much of the distribution.
"The Red Cross has permormed
acrobatic feats to get things distributed 
when and where they were
needed. All requests have been answered." 
he added.
Italians have a deep - rooted
district of anything involving
bureaucracy so there is never any
shortage of critics .But in hardhit 
Florence at least, even the critics 
agreed that the aid program
generally functioned, and flood victims 
themselves were remarkably
free of complains.
Florence lawyer Mauro Fantechi
and psychologist Corrado Cooragechi 
had first — hand experience
in aid distribution among flood
families. With other volunteers they
acted as unofficial liaison between
food victims and aid authorities.
"The great problem in the first
days after the flood was that no
on eknew what was happening in
other parts of the city," Fantechi
said.
So they went around, found out
what was needed by families and

then either got it or told them how
to obtain it."
"For the first days the Red
Cross was "magnificent. If you said
families in Via Gampaolo Orsin;
needed heating stoves, blankets
and clothes, they got them," Fantechi 
reported.
"Then the bureaucrats moved in
with red tape and forms to fill
out and things did not go as
smoothly."
'One night I had to get very
angry with a high government
official to Ret some food and
clothes for children In the flooded
Santa Croce district but it worked," 
Corradeschi said.
But both Fantechi and Corradeschi 
agreed that - "making allowances 
for inevitable red tape"
— aid reached flood victims when
it was needed.
Ida Capretti, who works at a
school in the Gavinana district
where flood waters wore 15 feet
deep, said "Everyone seemed to
get what they needed."
Mr. Capretti, like other flood victims 
interviewed, did not recall
where the aid came from.
"I heard that people of many
countries had sent help but there
was no way of knowing where
thing came from The important
thing for people here was that
they came."
Enzo Lullini, who lost his home
and his shop in the flood, said
'we got almost ton much when you
consider how many of us there
were, all over Italy." "My wife and
I got clothes and $641 from the
City," he said.
Render therefore to all their
dues; tribute to whom tribute is
due; custom; fear to whom fear;
honour to whom honour.

Rebellious Rhodesia Talks
Of Electing First President
Talks of a Rhodesian republic 
now rising from a whisper to a
roar since Britain took the independence 
issue to the United Nations, 
has put the spotlight on
the man likely to be the nation's
first president Clifford W. Dupont. 

The 61-year-old Dupont has been
officer administering the government" 
since shortly after Premier
Jan. Smith seized independence
from Britain Nor. 11, 1935.
He look over all the duties of
the British governor, Sir Humphery
Gibbs, who refused to quit the official 
governor's residence and has
lived as a virtual recluse there
ever since Dupont admits to triends 
he finds his position "embarrassing." 

But he blames the British government 
for Sir Humphery's life
Antolerable." The rival administrators 
have accidentally met at
a Salisbury club of which they are
both members but talk was restricted 
to such items as the weather. 

Dupont has taken his job seriously 
traveling to all corners of the
nation and meeting thousands of
people including African chiefs in
their tribal reserves.
"The Job is what you make it."
 Otherwise it
could be very dull."
Life certainly has not been dull
for Dupont to date. Born in London 
in 1905, he was a Cambridge

law graduate and a lawyer until
the outbreak of war. After service
in Britain and North Africa in
the Royal Artillery with the rank
of major, he came to Rhodesia "for
a visit" in 1948. He has lived here
as a farmer and a politician ever
since.
Dupont was an opposition member 
in the old Federal Parliament 
from 1958 to 1962, then served
as minister of Justice law and order 
in the southern Rhodesian legislative 
assembly. He resigned his
seat to run in another constituency 
against the former federal
leader, Sir Roy Welensky.
He ended Sir Roy homes of a
political comeback by winning
the seat with a majority of 446
votes in a poll of 1,700.
Dupont then became deputy premier 
under Ian Smith and was
minister of external affairs and
defence until his appointment as
officer administrating the government. 

Dupont says he is  man
despite ownership o a 17,000-acre
cattle rahah.
A former chairman of the ruling
Rhodesian Front, he has stayed
strictly non - political since assuming 
his now port.
When Rhodesian Front organized
nearly all the many anniversary
balls. Dupont attended noue of
them but turned up at a social
gathering run by the local police.
Dupont has diplomatically been
"out of town when official functions 
has been held in South Afica 
and Portugal — the two countries 
who have continued diplomatic 
representation in Rhodesia.
Dupont is known to be an 'inherent 
loyalist" and has privately
expressed disgust at the way the
British government has brought
the monarchy into their feud with
Rhodesia.
With the clamour for a republican 
mounting, Dupont is known
to believe the country has not other

choice but to become a republic
as Britain has "abandoned" Rhodesia 
by its action in going to the
United Nations.
To friends who have posted the
question as to whether he would
accepts the presidency. Dupont has
replied "I cannot give an answer." 

He has privately expressed the
here that if Rhodesia did eventually 
assume republic status it could
later petition the queen to resume 
the monarchy should relation 
with Britain ever be normalized.

TEN BEST COIFFURED —
The Ten Best Coiffured
Women, of 1966 as selected by The Helene
Curtis Guild of Professional Beauticians: singerdancer 
Joey Heatherton (upper left), TV personality 
Eva Gabor (lower left), actress Julie

Andrews (upper right). In the center section
left to right: actresses Audrey Hepburn, Donna
Reed, Dina Merrill and Rosalind Russell, and
singers Marlene Dietrich and Nancy Wilson.

U. S. Has Resources To Solve
Problems. Dr. Jackson Avows

She has the Federal Constitution,
the supreme law of the land, which
is dedicated to the freedom of all
America. She has a laden philosophy 
of freedom which ascribes
equal opportunity to every citizen
of this Republic, and has the blessings 
in fertile soil and economic
plenty that insure food enough for
all of her children, and she has
dedicated and patriotic citizens in
all races."
In pointing to the connections of
the Judeo-Christian Religion the
speaker said: "This Nation has also 
the moral and spiritual dynamism 
that can set the evil captie
free and redeem our society from
class prejudice, hatred and discrimination." 

Then is if to challenge the
young people who had grown impatient 
and frustrated he said:
"A history of this Nation's growth
and achievements in the past is
evidence of what she can do and
become when she dedicates herself
to her ideals of justice and freedom.
"The solutions to the remaining
precepts are with in the Nation itself 
and are resident in her people 
but they require a greater delication 
and commitment."
The entire speech was a ringing

call to America to retain to law
and order and to a militant patriotism 
and the ethical standard of
the Christian Religion.
The president of the six-million
member denomination observed
that there are some people among
us who have little or no faith in the
supreme law of the land and the
power of the fellowship and togetherness 
of all American citizens.
They contend for the divisive positions 
of white power or black power
and advocate a separative movement 
ment by which some groups
may retire to an exclusive state
and make their own rules and law
of life. Dr. Jackson then Said: "But
this is not the answer." However,
if such people continue their separative 
cry he favored granting them
their request.
In a joval mood that met with
chuckles and much laughter the
speaker continued describing his
drop through the Columbia Basin in
the state of Washington, where
there is now in process a great
irrigation project near Ephrata.
Washington. When this project is
completed a million acres of fertile
land will be reclaimed that can
be converted into 12 to 15 thousand 
acres of farm units averaging
from 65 to 85 acres each Dr. Jackson 
continued: "I will recommend
this area to those who say that
they prefer to go it alone." He was
willing to donate the first $1,000 to
help the first settlers. "But if they
find that they can't 
state or life separate from the rest
of the Nation." the speaker continued. 
"I am willing to re-open
the doors of the United States and
permit them to return providing
they pledge to be loyal to the eFderal 
Constitution and defend this
Nation against enemies foreign rand
Domestic and will commit them
selves to wok for the continued
growth of this Nation according to
the Nation's ideals of Justice and
freedom."
Dr. Jackson closed his address
by telling his audience about a
letter which he had received from
the Evangelical Baptist of Russia. 
The Russia Baptist some U.S.A.
citizens against the present policies 
of the United State in Viet
Nam. Dr. Jackson was not duped
by the Russian letter, and yet he
did not turn a deaf ear to the
faintest cry for pease. Dr. Jackson 
handed the Reverend E. S.

Brazill a copy of the letter which
he had crafted as a reply to
the letter  the Russian Baptist. 
The letter contained six proals 
which Dr. Jackson felt
would make a positive contribution
ion to peace, not only in Viet
Nam but in the world.
The Reverend E. S. Brazil, president 
of the North Pacific Baptist
Convention, who presented Dr. J.
H. Jackson is Seatle, had his corresponding 
secretary the letter. After
the letter was read an ananimous
motion prevailed that the NPBC
would endo Dr. Jackson's 
and that a copy of the letter be
sent to member churches so that
individual church members could
sign the letter, and that the signed
letters be returned to Dr. Jackson's
office in Chicago in time for the
letter to reach Russia by Christmas. 
Dr. Jackson told the audience 
that he would also send a copy
of the letter to President L. B.
Johnson.

Oliver Points To Changes Made
In Operation Crossroads Africa
Albert J.
Oliver, assistant director of Operation 
Crossroads Africa recently
visited the Knoxville College campus 
to talk with perspective participants 
for next year, which will
mark the tenth anniversary of the
program, According to Oliver, several 
changes have been made in
the program since its venture into
Africa before many of the countries 
gained their independence.
Participants are now required
lo have in more specialized knowledge 
in the fields of medicine, physical 
training, and secretarial work.
The African Youth Leadership
Program has been established
whereby about 45 African students
come to America in exchange for
those visiting their country. This
is designed to give African students 
a chance to develop their
interest.
KC Joined Crossroads in 1961
and since that time has had from
10 to 15 participants. The first
two wore Robert Booker who was
recently elected to the State Legislature, 
and Rev. Frederic Walls
who is now dean of men at KC.
Three KC students participated in
the program last summer.
Mr. Oliver said that Crossroadsis 
a non-profit organization. Contributions 
from individuals are the
main source of finance. Participants 
are required to pay $1,000

towards their expenses, KC holds
a fund - raising drive to help students 
pay the $1,000.
There were 300 Crossroads participants 
last summer from 10
colleges in the United States and
Canada. The participants, ranging
n ages from 18 to 25, visited 26
African countries. Mr. Oliver said
that 30 percent of former Crossroads 
participants are now engaged,
in Some work with Africa. This
includes work with the Peace
Corps which former President Join
E. Kennedy once said was motivated 
by Crossroads.
According to Mr. Oliver, the nexstep 
in Operations Crossroad is
"a complete student exchange pro
gram where 45 to 50 students could
swap rides for about six-and-at
half, weeks of contracted study
local projects, and travel."

Slowdown Seen, But No
Sign Of A Recession
United States Chamber of
Commerce
WASHINOTON —
There is lesezip 
in the boom. This is apparent
wherever one looks in the economy 
— whether at slowing rates
of Business sales, profits, industrial
production, new construction, housing 
starts, or at declining bank
loans and the money supply. All
of these statistics point to a slackening 
in the economy's growth
rate.
The same story is told by a composite 
index of the leading business 
indicators of the National
Bureau of Economic Research,
which has been falling since last
March.
As the New Year approaches,
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States is of the opinion
that the situation shapes up this
way:
The economy is still humming
but at less than full throttle.
This year's Gross National product 
(GNP) will probably reach
$738 billion, a gain of 8 l-2 per
cent over 1965, measured, in current 
prices, and equivalent to a 4
1-2 per cent increase measured in
constant prices. This compares
with the 6 per cent real growth
rate in 1965.
The current record economic expansion 
through 1966 has added
$241 billion to our national output
(GNP) since 1961 a feel gain of
$448 per capita, broadly distributed
throughout income groups. The
strength of the expansion has
moved the economy closer to its
potential output. The increase in
our output in 1966 is larger than
the total output of all but seven
countries in the world.
But what about next year? Highly 
significant far any 1967 business 
outlook is the fact that in
each quarter this year the GNP
gain has been Jess than in the
corresponding quarter of last year,
despite the buildup in defense
spending. The boom apparently
crested between, the last quarter
of, 1965 and the first quarter of
1966.
Projecting this lower growth rate
through 1987 would produce a GNP
of about $783 billion, the midpoint
of, estimates ranging from $775
billion to $790 billion. This midpoint 
figure breaks down into the

following major, components of
GNP:
Consumer Spending pf $494 billion, 
(plus or minus $4 billion);
Government Spending Of $166 billion 
(plus or minus $4 billion), and
Gross Investment of $123 billion
(plus or minus $3 billion ( .
Assuming a, 2 1-2 percentage
point price rise, next year's real
growth rate would be only 3 1-2
per cent on this reckoning.
GOVERNMENT SPENDING. The
greater leeway built into the estimates 
for Government Spending
and Cross Investment than in the
estimate for Consumer Spending
mirrors the uncertainties surrounding 
these numbers.
If a more restrictive fiscal policy
is adopted and monetary policyl, as
a trade-off, is made less restrictive, 
investment, spending (including 
net exports) could rise to the
upper limit of the range Indicated.
But the degree of fiscal restrint.
will depend largely on the pace of
defense spending next year, compared 
to the rise in tax revenues
accompanying economic growth.
In short, fiscal restraint or ease
will depend on the size of the budget 
deficit.
If the announced cuts in nondefenseispending 
aggregate $3 billion
and if tax revenues exceed earlier
estimates by $6 bililon, this $9 billion 
total would com close to offsetting 
the $10 billion rise in nonbudgeted 
defense spending this fiscal 
year without a tax Increase
This calculation assumes' that $6
billion of defense sperding will be
added in January to the 1967 fis
cal 
year supplemental budget.
PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
SPENDING. Next to the uncertainty 
about Viet Nam spending is uncertainty 
about the outlook for
business plant and equipment expenditures. 
Our projection implies
an 8 1-2 per cent rise in this category 
next year — Just half of the
17 per cent Increase this year.
Capital spending has risen nearly
twice as rapidly as final demand
since 1963.
Coupled with the slackening of
final demand this year, then sharp
rise in constructor, costs, and the
suspension of both the investment
tax credit and accelerated depreclation 
a slowdown ty investment
spending in the second half of 1967
is clearly indicated. If ored remains 
tight and a corporate income 
tax Increase is enacted, the
drop in investment will be greater
than the, 50 per cent Indicated.
The reason the drop in investment 
spending will be concentrated
in the second half of calendar 1967
as the unusually high backlog of
projects authorized in 1966 but not
yet built.

Dr. Speck Warns Intellectual
Parocts About "Repressed Drive"
Benjamin Spock
recently warned Parents who have
intellectual and cultural Interests
and are reserved In the expression
of the their own sexuality that they
must expect the "romantic and
sexual expect" of their children to
 inhibited and delayed."
Such behavior by parents will
influence their youngsters before
they are six years old and will
show up in adolescence and young
adulthood, the famous pediatrician
said in his column in the current
issue of Redbook. Just released.
"Such a child is apt to have
goals that are more ambitious creative 
and idealistic, he is willing
to study harder and also for more
years, and he is characteristically
more inhibited and delayed in coming 
to full sexual experience as
compared with the child from a
family with lower standard and
education." Dr. Spock said.
If "parents set high standards
for themselves" and hide their sexuality. 
"there is a deeper - than average 
repression of the romantic
and sexual drive in the child and a
grater sublimation into academic
and scientific." the doc
tor 
explained.
'Studiousness, ambitiousness, Idealism 
and creativity are to a considerable 
charge sumations 
sexual energy. And we can say that
the main fork in the road that will
determine which way tin child will
go his been reached by six years
of age," Dr. Spock said.
A child's general attitudes 
as 'trustfulness versus suspiciousness 
friendliness ersus antagonism,
optimism versus pessimism, orderliness 
and cleanliness versus messl
ness" are "fairly well defined be
fore the age of three," he said.
Between the ages of three and
six, a girl "is very definitely form
ing her Ideal for her future hus
band on what her father is like.
Dr. Spock declared.
"For a boy to make rapid emotional 
progress toward manliness
and a girl toward womanliness,
there must be a reasonably good
relationship with the parent of
the same sex,"' Dr. Spock said,
"But this doesn't mean that a parent 
should try to be merely a pal
The child must feel the parent's
self - respect and firm leadership, 
must look up to the parent
as an authority."
