We Agree With The Congressmen The Eisenhower administration seems to be getting ready to ask Congress for ‘ legislationto allow the U.S. to transfer nuclear weapons to its military allies. Up to the present, the U.S. has not allowed atomic or nuclear warheads tocome into the hands of foreign allies. The first hint of this situation came from the President himself at his February 3 press conference when he said that, "when the Soviets have the information and know-how to do things, it's pretty hard for me to understand why we don't do something with our allies." But Rep. Chet Holifield, member of the joint committee on atomic energy, said on the House floor February 9, "Many of our allies are, unfortunately, possessed of weak governments, some of them are based on the strength of a strong, but aged or egotistical leader. These governments could change over night because of he death of a strong leader. Other governments could change as the result ofa new alliance of splinter parties and others could become more unstable through the growth of Communist or rightistforces which, at present, are of minority strength. "What would be the response of KhrushCchevtoour policy of transferring nuclear weapons and thereby creating nth in the nuclear club? Would he then announce his intentions to transfer Soviet nuclear weapons toChou En-lai inAsia and Soviet satellite governments in Europe?

MOST PRESSING PROBLEM By STEVE AYALA, SENIOR It appears to me that the most urgent problem facing the world today is not presented by the hydrogen bomb or the ICBMs. Thereal problem has faced men for centuries. Today, however, more than ever before, we need to examine it and discover ways of solving it. The problem: the preservation of the dignity of man. The doctor and the lawyer have a code of ethics, which tends to bind them morally to the proper actions of their professions. The city official, the movie ‘producer, as he checks the presentation of his product, the librarian, as she chooses books fromthe new selections, each person, as he engages in his line Suddenly it's over. Sunday night we awoke to the fact that the Eighth Winter Olympics are history. Two weeks ago we were full up on preparations, problems and predictions concerning these Winter Games. Today we realize the greatness of the event. Today we realize it is likely that this event will not again be held within driving range. © We are happy: the opportunity presented itself so that we could witness the winter events. Wehope many of you shared our pleasure.While on the Olympics, the following is quoted from Congressman Harold T . Johnson‘'sreportto the people released during the Winter Games: “One of the highlights of my life occured last Thursday as I joined other local, state and federal officials in the official opening ceremony for the Winter Olympics at Squaw Valley. “I could not help but look back on the long road we had come since that day in 1954 when the Placer County Chamber of Commerce and Squaw Valley Resort Operator Alex Cushing came to me with an ambitious idea. “I was State Senator for Placer, Sierra and Nevada Counties then. The Placer County Chamber and Cushing advanced the idea that we should go after the 1960 Winter Olympics for the United States, California, Placer County and Squaw Valley. “Asa result of that nebulous idea, there were 1, 000 of the world's most outstanding winter sports athletes vying for worldwide honors at Squaw Valley today. Another 1,500 coaches, press representatives and officials from three dozen nations made up the official. delegation. “When you get many nations together in an event such as this, you cannothelp but admire the sportsmanship which most of the athletes display and ferventlyhope that it benefits our world through better understanding. “The road to the Winter Olympics has been long and BY DEAN THOMPSON hard. But now the job is done andI am proud of my part in this effort. “I represented the Placer County Chamber of Commercein a delegation which traveled to Cortina D'Ampezzo, Italy, for the 1956 Winter Olympics. There the stage was set for the Squaw Valley event four years hence. “The actual Winter Olympic Games will affect the economy of the state, and especially the mountain regions which comprise the Second Congressional District, for many years to come. “For one thing, the Winter Olympics resulted in a speedup of highway improvement work along Highway 40 and in the vicinity of Placer County. Some $43, 000, 000 has been spent by the state widening major highways, work which was programmed, but completed much sooner than other wise scheduled. “The spending of this money preparing for the Olympics, the several millions of dollars being spent by visitors, advertisers and businesses will have a long-lasting effect on the economy of the entire region. “Looking to the future, when the Olympics are over, the State of California will have as a state park one of the West's finest winter sports areas, a park which will be much more self supporting than most. "In the less than six years since the Placer County Chamber and Mr. Cushing came to me, there has been atremendous growth of winter sports activities. Installations built since then or now under construction amount to more than $20,000,000 in capital improvements for the Sierra winter recreation iands from Mt. Whitney to the Oregon border. — eg : “There is no doubt but what the Winter Olympics provided some of the impetus for this. This is good for all the mountain areas. I am proud tohave played a part from the start, in the California State Senate, in the Congress of the United State and at the Opening ceremonies. " The misunderstanding which Feb. 20 sent units of the California Highway Patrol and the Twin Cities’ ambulance racing to the scene of an “accident” eleven miles West of Grass Valley on ‘Highway 20, where three persons were reported killed, has been cleared up. The California Highway Patrol reports that the misunderstanding began when two late-model cars, one driven by Garland Dwayne Armstrong, 31, of Challenge, and the other by Jerline Mildred Langley, 39, of Yuba Cit¥, sideswiped each other at Pet Hill. The first car arriving at the scené after the accident happened to contain three deaf persons, who were given a note with instructions to report the mishap. : ‘Fatal Auto Report Faulty The occupants of the next car that stopped to offer assistance were toldthat "three deaf persons" had been sent for help, whereupon they sped off and informed the Highway Patrol from the nearest phone that an accident had occurred in which three people were killed, Emergency units were immediately sent to the scene where, happily, they did not find the massacre as expected, but rather, a minor side-swipe collision in which there were no injuries and only minor damage to both cars, Brian O'Conner, who has been employed as an insurance salesman in Sacramento is now with Hockett Auto Sales at Hills Flat. February 13, Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Heather of Grass Valley welcomed a son Wayne James into their home. At Miners in NevadaCity Mr.and Mrs. Bert Larson, Nevada City became the parents of a son, Feb. 4th, and have given him the name of Sonny James. February 10th, Mr. and Mrs. Claude Fincher of Grass Valley became the parents of a daughter, Susanna Ruth. At Jones Hospital, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Doppelmayr, presented a daughter Joy Louise. ; of work, if he respects the dignity of those with whomhe deals, can make the problem that much smaller. The problem is far reaching" indeed, involving the rights and the duties of every person, It pertains to the family and -to the state. The philosophy of our country is based on what Jefferson termed “the inalienable rights of men." Likewise ourcountry holds to a system of law which defends the rights of the individual, but which at the same time, necessarily imposes duties upon him. President Eisenhower, speaking before the General Assembly of the American Bar Association, deciared, “Peace cannot prevail until men and nations recognize that their conduct must be governed by respect for an observance of the law. " Under a democracy such as ours, laws are formed to protect the rights of individuals, andrefinedto assure that these rights apply to all citizens Theoretically, under such laws, all persons are truly equal in rights and responsibilities. Consider briefly the role of human dignity in the structure of our own country. First let's look at the field of race relations. A century ago a war ‘was fought to determine the strength of America's foundation. We have taken long strides since then, yet still today the very dignity of a number of American citizens is trampled by other Americans who protest the theory of natural rights. And in other fieldsthe question is equally as important. In labor management problems how often are the rights and duties of the parties concemed really considered until the dispute becomes so acute that a solution literally must be found? a te In the question of voting rights, how can we logically explain the discriminate poll tax? Regarding the communications field, the radio, the TV, the movies, arethe dignity and the moral standards of the viewers given top consideration? Honor and prestige may bea very important thing, but when the “jokes” of an actor become so ribald that a network decides to leave out those items from its presentation, how can that person justify his cries of censorship? Doesn't he realize that he, too, has duties and obligations? When we deal with other countries, I wonder whether primary considerationis given to protecting us, or to helping them. The preservation of man's dignity isa duty of the state, but it rests primarily on the shoulders of each person. The state is the extension of the family. Here, in the family, should lie the roots of an individual's being. He should learn respect for his parents primarily, and for those aroundhim. Here one should learn to respect the rights of others, andheshould acquire a sense of fair play, and justicé, . Simple recognition of the problem is only a start. If the human race is to come to ‘terms with itself, such a start must be made.
