By KENNETH HOSKINS

Kernel Managing Editor
The John Kirch Society's state coordinator for Kentucky Thursday refuted
charges by Sen. Thruston H. Morton,
that the organization is clandestine and "as dangerous as the Ku
Klux Klan and the Communist Party."
Virgil R. Craycraft, of 214 Rugby Rd.,
called Morton's charge an empty one.
"As a U.S. senator, he should be more
specific in his complaints," the state
coordinator said.
),

Morton announced Wednesday his intentions to rid the Republican Party ranks
of influence by the JDS. He said the
organization was attempting a precinct-by-precintake-ovof the COP.
However, Morton told the Kernel,
"There is nothing for the government to
ct

do."
"Let's

have

less

government," he

added.

"The only thing I can do," the senator
continued, "is bring the light of public
opinion on this matter."

Krogdahl Says Birchers In Area
Dr. Wasley S. Krogdahl, University
professor of mathematics and astronomy
and a member of the John Birch Society,
stated Thursday that several chapters of
the society do exist in the Lexington
area.
Dr. Krogdahl also commented that the
society is "a whipping boy for almost
everyone."
He rejected Sen. Thruston B. Morton's

statement accusing the society of deliberate infiltration of the COP and said
participation in the society should not
bar them from public affairs.
"A good bit of the criticism," he said,
"stems from ignorance."
Dr. Krogdahl then quoted a slogan of
theJBS:
"Education is our strategy, and truth
is our only weapon."

Kentucky's other senator, Republican

John Sherman Cooper, agreed Thursday

with Morton and his proposal to exclude
the JBS from the Republican Party.
"When I was a delegate to the COP
national convention one year ago," Cooper
said, "I voted for a resolution todenounce
the John Birch Society. I don't think they
add anything to the American system or

idea."

The resolution to w hich Cooper referred
failed at the 1964 convention.
Both Morton and Cooper stressed they
were not attacking the right of anyone to
be a member of the John Birch Society.
"Anybody that wants to be should be,"
Morton said. "I just wish they would
drop their clandestine cloaks. I'm not
worried about political opposition I can

see."

The society's veil of secrecy concerning
the names of members and membership
figures was defended by Craycraft, who
claimed, "It is something that has been
forced on us."
He explained that members who reveal
their JBS activities are harrassed by their

employers and in their private lives. He
said the situation exists in the federal
government and at the local level as well.
Membership figures are concealed by
the society, Craycraft said, because other
organizations are not pressured to reveal
such statistics.
Though he would not list membership
totals for Central Kentucky or Lexington
w hen questioned
Thursday, Craycraft said,
"We are growing in this area."
Morton denied any knowledge of the
society's activities within the state, saying, "I don't know a single member."
"I think J. Edgar Hoover knows who
they arc," the senator said of John Birch
Society members in general, "but Thruston
Morton doesn't."
In Los Angeles, John H. Rousselet,
former Republican congressman ami now
a JBS official, was quoted Thursday as
saying that FBI director J. Edgar Hoover
could tell Morton "that the JBS is in no
way similar to the Ku Klux Klan or
the Communist Party."
Rousselet said Hoover has made it.
clear that the society is not subversive.

Breathitt Defends Bond Issue

Vote counting after Thursday's Student Congress revote proved
tedious for these students last night. Paper ballots used in the
election had to be counted individually. The task was abandoned
late Thursday night and was to be resumed today so results of
the election will be made public late this afternoon.

'Just A Little Longer'
SC Candidates Told

Dr. Charles F. Haywood, dean
of the College of Commerce, dedicated that school's new building
Thursday, telling 250 luncheon
guests of the relatively recent
alliance between business and
education.
Business education in the
middle 1950's, he said, was almost
universally a mixture of the vocational fields, functional areas,
some economics, and a "course

Higher education for business
was an American invention, Dean
Haywood noted, "and its pragmatism has given it great capacity
for change."
Governor Breathitt used his
dedication address to warn that
financial needs of Kentucky
educational
institutions will
probably increase. He urged
support for the state's $176
million bond issue, emphasizing
that some of its revenue would
help finance the University's four
year, $35 million building program.
The new Commerce building
has six "case" classrooms, a 266- -

seat auditorium, 48 individual
faculty offices, and 25 study
cubicles.
Designed to accommodate the
2,000 students expected by 1970,
it replaces White Hall, built in
1865.

Present for Dean Haywood's
address were Kenneth Wilson,
dean of the University of Cincinnati's College of Business Administration, R. B. Johnson, of
tethe Kentucky Bankers Association; Harry Carloss, of the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce;
and
Sam Ezelle, executive

Zukofsky belives that a poem
should make a statement which
can be translated into prose. "I
do think that every poet must
have this responsibility to a prose
statement. If you really have a
statement, you will have a poem
with a song."

About "All," Zukofsky says:
a sense "All" is an autobiography: the words are my

an imposition of history but the

Elizabethtown Coed Receives Double Title
By CAROLYN WILLIAMS

Kernel Staff Writer
Neysa Jo Routt scored a "double take" at the recent 1965 Kentucky State Fair in Ixniisville.
She not only walked off with
the Kentucky State Tobacco Princess title, but she was named as
the pageant's Miss Congeniality
winner, an honor the girls bestow
upon their favorite contestant.
"I didn't have any idea that
I'd win," says the
sophomore at UK's Elizabeth-tow- n
Community College. "I was
concentrating so much on relaxing that I didn't even hear my
name announced as the winner."
Being crowned Kentucky Tobacco Princess means she's the
"adopted" daughter of 150.000
tobacco growers in the state. It
likewise means she'll represent
them as the good will ambassador of the world's largest burlcy
tobacco producing market.
"It's a great experience," she
remarked. "I enjoy the feeling
you get from being friendly. I've
already made some lasting friends
from the state contest."
The title was formerly held by
Miss Jo Ann Pedew of Western
College. Miss Routt, a resident
of Hodgenville, was chosen from
14 other girls in the state contest.
She was selected on the basis
of talent, poise, personality and
beauty. Her talent included a
medley of songs from "Gypsy"
and a dance to the song "Alley

Democracy's Smudge
The House of Representatives

by failing to approve immediate

changing their way of life in a

are struggling to catch up with the

The Auto Insurance Muddle
Americans with automobile
insurance need no reminder of the
increasingly high rates they have
to pay. The cause of the ever higher
rates is mainly due to the ever
growing number of automobile
accidents, but it is also due in
part to the rising number of personal injury claims, irrespective
of the accident rate.
For the mounting frequency of
claims the present legal system of
adjudication is partially at fault.
Jury awards for personal injury
claims have been increasing at
such a rate and, in some instances,
have been so unbelievably high

(occasionally
$1,000,000), that responsible critics
are suggesting that better means of
settlement can be devised.
Alternatives seriously proposed
include compulsory arbitration and
even the institution of a compensation system in auto accident
cases, resembling workmen's compensation. Since personal injury
suits comprise over 80 percent of
the civil cases in the courts today,
the adoption of any alternative
settlement procedure would constitute a major innovation.
Under the present system
lawyers in many states collect fees
in personal injury cpses on a contingent basis. If they achieve a
settlement or win the case, they

The contingent
provides lawyers with no little
financial inducement to encourage
clients to claim damages regardless
of the merit of their claim. This
contributes to the glut of personal
injury cases in the courts and consequent lengthy delays in bringing
the cases to trial delays which
amount to a denial of justice for
many in need of financial relief.
A rather drastic solution would
be outright abolition of the contingent fee system. But this would
have the disadvantage of working
against the improverished who
would not otherwise be able to
afford legal assistance. A more moderate method of control would be
the adoption of legislation to limit
the percentage allowed lawyers

Berkeley Riots Inspire Mass Faculty Transfer
-

Almost
BERKELEY, Calif.
every noon at sunbaked Sproul
Tlaza in the heart of the campus
here, a leftist agitator harangues
students with angry denunciations of President Johnson, the
University administration, and
the faculty.
What makes this so remarkable is that such oratory is fully
sanctioned by the University of
California, which even supplies
the loudspeaker equipment. It is
as though a government was supplying bullets to the revolution.
This typifies the mood of
nightmarish carnival prevailing
on the Berkeley campus as the fall
term begins. Although the new
administration here has staved
off a recurrence of last term's
violent student riots, peace has
been bought by giving the student
radicals what they want.
The implications
are
The Republicans have
issue in their cama ready-mad- e
paign for Covernor next year.
Because of Berkeley's national
eminence, the radicals' success
may be attempted on other campusesraising the danger that
the American university, traditionally nonpolitical, may become a haven for political agitators, as long has been the case
with Latin American and European universities. And, by no
means least important, a great
university here is in danger.
"We were able to withstand
one year of this," one worried
liberal professor told us. "No
university can go through another
year of this agitation and sur-

vive."

To understand what is happening at Berkeley, it isessential
d
to demolish the
myth of a spontaneous student
revolt at Berkeley against mass
education and the depersonalized
university. Only a smoke screen
last spring, this issue has now
widely-propagate-

disappeared.
In fact, the student movement
is the product of 300 student leftsome 30

ists (including

nonstu-dent- s

maintaining only the most
tenuous connection with the university). But because they can
rub the administration's nose in
the dirt and get away with it,
the radicals get tacit support
from a majority of the 27,000 students here.
This radical hard core controls
a network of student organiz-

ationsconcerned both with campus affairs and foreign affairs
(with a tendency to follow the
Chinese Communist line in foreign affairs).

The tone is set on Sproul
Plaza with posters that picture
the President of the United States
over the caption "Lyndon Johnson: Wanted for Murder in Viet
Nam," and petitions circulated
among students pledging them
to defy the draft.

Any faculty member bold
enough to fight this risks harassment. When liberal professors
recently criticized the intemperate stand of one student organization protesting the Vietnam
war, they were promptly reviled
at the daily noontime harangue.
Professors who had hoped the
new administration would crack
down this fall have been disappointed.

John Searle, a philosophy professor w ho loudly encouraged the
student radicals last spring, was
named liaison officer to the student groups. Moreover, Searle
promulgated a new set of rules
that includes a loose definition of
"student." This definition permits a nonstudent agitator to get
a part-tim- e
job as a university
typist or librarian and still be
classified as a "student" eligible
for office in student groups.
More ominous, however, are
