What?

Dear Sir: I have been a member of Y A F for only a short time, so please understand my confusion.

T h e organization is called Young Amercans for Freedom. Yet the article on McCarthyism in the NEW GUARD sounded as though it condones government restriction of the freedom of thought. A m I mistaken, or does Y A F only support certain specific freedoms? Please clear up the matter for me.

Richard Gottfried Flushing, New York Dear Sir: I have been reading the NEW GUARD since its very beginning and never thought I could be so displeased with it as I am now. I am referring to your April, 1963 issue. O n page 19 there is an a d v e r t i s e m e n t w h i c h s h o u l d at once sicken and digust all who read it.

It reads, "Pacifism Bugging You? Wear a 'Drop It' P i n . " Just what Young Americans for Freedom should wear! I f we cannot stomach pacifists, most of whom I must admit seem a little insane, we ourselves should become just as insane and wear buttons advocating total nuclear destruction! I f only our buttons' advice were followed we would no longer be "bugged."

Both the "buggers" and ourselves would be gloriously dead!

Wonderful!

Furthermore, on the same page, there is an interesting little passage from the article "McCarthyism: What W a s It A l l About?" which, in combination with the above-mentioned advertisement, would seem to indicate that the editors of the New Guard are a bunch of raging maniacs, interested more in destroying freedom than in fostering it. T h e passage to which I refer is the one saying, " I n such a society (as the U . S . ) by no means are all questions open questions;" Professor Kendall is referring here, generally, to questions pertaining to the basic premise of our nation, and specifically to questions raised by Communists. Now if a "free society" has the right to forbid the raising of certain questions which attack its basic premises, it cannot really be called free. F o r if Communists can be forbidden to have their views, then what is to prevent Congress from prohibiting John Birchers, Liberals, Conservatives, Democrats, and even middleof-the-road Republicans from having their views, if in Congress' opinion such views attacks the basic premises of our society?

Men, of course, have a right to advocate blowing the world apart if someone does not agree with them, and they have a right to advocate setting limits to how far others can disagree with them. However, I should think that the editor of a 2

Editor

magazine dedicated to freedom would exercise his right not to print their views, at least not without inserting his own adversary comment. F o r without such comments, it would seem that the magazine itself was in agreement with these views, which would mean that the magazine was not in favor of freedom and therefore was a contradiction in terms.

F r e d O . Lawson Lakewood, N e w York We have learned several interesting things from the letters of Mr. Gottfried and Mr. Lawson. One is that many of our readers do not read the statement on the masthead on this page, i.e., "Opinions expressed in signed articles do not necessarily represent the views of the editors."

And we hardly thought it necessary to point out that neither YAF nor the NEW GUARD necessarily endorses all the products which are advertised in these pages.

A good example is the ad carried in the May issue for one of our competitors.

However, we also learned that it is extremely difficult to excerpt and shorten such a fine work as Professor Kendall's on McCarthyism without destroying some of its more important philosophical bases.

We urge both Messrs. Gottfried and Lawson to obtain a copy of T h e Conservative Affirmation pronto, and read the whole book, or at least the whole chapter.

We are sure, even if they do not agree with all of Professor Kendall's views, that they will find his concern is primarily the preservation of freedom as we know it in the United States. The good Professor would probably give as an example of the kind of restrictions needed on Communist subversion the use of "no smoking" signs in a petroleum refinery.

And finally, we learned, to our dismay, that some of our good readers are pain-

fully humorless, failing to find anything, including the "Drop It" pin, funny.

Nothing is funnier than the antics of the pacifists. So why not laugh at them?

No one is advocating nuclear war. It's a spoof, really, fellows.

-The Editors More Responsible Dear Sir: I was disturbed to say the least when I read the advertisement for the "Drop I t " pin in the April issue of the NEW GUARD. This kind of irresponsible action on the part of well-meaning conservatives does the Conservative movement unmeasurable harm. No thinking conservative, no matter how much he dislikes our present no win policy, advocates such an utterly ridiculous move. A stronger policy toward Communism yes, by all means. But to advocate a nuclear war, of course not. It is through a stronger policy toward Communism that a nuclear war will be averted. Y A F must exercise a niore responsible position in the future.

Goldwater

Dear Sir: Akin to your convincing editorial: " W e L i k e Barry," is the following result of a Presidential preference poll that radio station W H N , New York City, recently conducted.

The fourth day was climaxed by the question: " W h o do you prefer for President, Goldwater or Kennedy?" 61 percent said Goldwater; 39 percent said Kennedy.

The poll was a "call i n , " conducted from six to nine in the morning.

It clearly establishes that many people, even in metropolitan areas, prefer Goldwater!

Congress: A Whipping Post for the Liberals

by Lee Edwards O H , IT'S ENOUGH to bring tears to your eyes as the frustration and i m patience of the liberals become more apparent every day. They fell into line like good soldiers back i n 1960 and worked for the election of Senator John F. Kennedy, who certainly talked a fine collectivist theme. They would have preferred Adali or Hubert but Jack buried their heroes i n West Virginia and Los Angeles and then went on to w i n their hearts w i t h a grand design for socialism during the presidential campaign and the first One Thousand Days. But somehow the New Frontier has failed to head oflF unemployment, urban blight, segregation and the other villains at the pass.

The Progressive magazine, a rebel w i t h a new cause every month, probably summed up the smoldering i n dignation of the liberals i n a recent analysis when i t said: "As President Kennedy embarked on the second half of his term, the prospects for enactment of a N e w Frontier program of legislation d i d not impress us as being at all hopeful.

The stultifying rules of Congress, which make a mockery of majority rule, and the domination of committees by ancient hacks enthroned by seniority, register two strikes against such a program before the battle begins."

Certainly tired old stuff, automatic abuse, one might say. But here's the real barb: "The t h i r d strike might well come from the President himself. The evidence is persuasive that for all his good intentions, expressed i n some of the finest public prose since Winston Churchill, M r . Kennedy w i l l continue to call retreat, and settle for weak-aswater compromises, on most of the major issues confronting the Nation."

I think the Progressive's appraisal of the President is accurate. More than two years ago, i n the first issue of the NEW GUARD, I described JFK as "a moldy moderate; i.e., one who w i l l extend slowly and cautiously the W e l JUNE

1963

fare State and who might even desist if the objections are loud and prolonged enough."

Well, there have been loud objections, articulated by conservatives of both parties, and there has also been profound indifference and apathy among the great majority of the American public to the extensions of the Welfare State which the President and his advisors first submitted to the Congress back i n early 1961.

W h y has the President not pushed for enactment of the many many programs described i n special and extraspecial executive messages which poured down on Capitol H i l l i n the beginning? The answer lies, I think, in a recent column by Marquis Childs, a most perceptive left-wing columnist for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Childs wrote that the President has displayed a mastery of the politics of personality, maneuver and power, but that the missing ingredient, i n the judgment of those closest to JFK, is conviction.

No conviction.

I suppose we can be grateful that the domestic policies of the N e w Frontier have not passed into law because of a possible lack of conviction but i n the field of foreign policy this particular ingredient is rather important — particularly when dealing w i t h such implacable bullies as Khrushchev, Mao Tse-tung, Tito and Castro.

But let's leave that point for the moment. The liberals are suffering possibly permanent damage to their psyche because the pink banner of socialism is not waving from every Federal building.

The Progressive can crack Kennedy across the knuckles and Senator Ernest Gruening of Alaska, at 74 beyond political redemption or caring, can insert the biting editorial i n the Congressional Record. But what are the liberals i n and of the Administration to do?

What method of political therapy can Hubert Humphrey, Walter Reuther, Adlai Stevenson and Chester Bowles employ?

Simple. W h i p the bejasus out of Congress. Crank up the typewriters, the mimeograph machines and the T V prompters and spread the w o r d that it is Congress' fault that the N e w Frontier is not spreading across this great land like a bright summer*s day.

Herein we find a principal reason for the increasing number of critical comments about the Congress, which has weathered similar storms in the past.

Now, where does all this leave us, that is, us conservatives? First, i t suggests strongly that President Kennedy is not a miracle man i n the eyes of many liberals and that he may not do as well among them i n 1964 as he did i n 1960. After all, liberals have been known to stay home Election Day too.

Second, this analysis offers us more ammunition to use against JFK. Whatever else a man may or may not have, if he wants to be the President he had better have conviction, or be able to simulate i t .

T h i r d , the evidence suggests that the public is not as enamoured of the welfare concept as some urban analysts and Congressmen believe.

The American majority remain receptive to a basic conservative theme of free enterprise and individual freedom.

Fourth, the facts confirm what conservatives have known for a long time: that the Congress is a mighty useful institution to have around and what might be one man's whipping post is another man's hitching post.

Democrats ample opportunity for such a suicide. can't touch h i m anyway.

Yet i t is not!

Close examination of the evidence leads to the rather unexpected conclusion that the cannons have made a hundred and eighty degree t u r n and are now pointed directly at Albany, New York. The 1964 Senate races, in w h i c h the Republicans are putting increasingly greater emphasis for a big victory, are a clear case for the argument that i t is Rockefeller, not Goldwater, whose candidacy w o u l d damage the Party; and that, indeed.

Senator Goldwater as nominee is a definite asset i n the vital races for the Senate i n 1964.

Let us begin by examining the nine of the thirty-four races w h i c h involve incumbent Republicans.

Arizona: (Goldwater).

The t w o leading contenders at this time, i f Goldwater were the Presidential nominee, w o u l d appear to be Rep. John Rhodes or Gov. Paul Fannin.

W i t h the Senator on top of the slate either w o u l d be a near cinch for election.

Delaware: (Williams). There should be little doubt that Sen. Williams seeking his fourth term, w i l l get i t regardless of the Presidential ticket.

Hawaii: (Fong).

This one w i l l be tough to hold no matter who heads the ticket.

Maryland: (Beall). Maryland went Kennedy by 75,000 votes, and w i l l probably do so again. Sen. BealFs chances depend on his o w n campaign, not who leads the ticket.

JUNE

1963

New Mexico: (Mechem). Here is a clear cut case where Rockefeller's candidacy w o u l d probably cost us the seat.

Goldwater-thinking is popular i n N e w Mexico and the Senator's candidacy w o u l d add i m measurably to the Republican chances i n N e w Mexico.

that i t cut deeply into the vulnerable Democratic majority. The most i m portant single question i n 1964 is not so much who can defeat Kennedy, but can the G.O.P. i n this election take f u l l advantage of the massive Democratic Senatorial weaknesses and, therefore, begin to regain the voice of power i t lost i n 1958.

The Democratic Senators are v u l nerable i n varying degrees. A t least five are assured of re-election on the basis of their o w n popularity: Symington i n Missouri, Kennedy i n Massachusetts, Stennis i n Mississippi, Pastore i n Rhode Island, and Robert Byrd in West Virginia.

Three others: Young i n Ohio, Moss i n Utah, and McCee i n Wyoming—based on the 1962 Congressional elections — stand next to no chance of re-election.

New York: (Keating).

That island ninety miles from our shores, not Rockefeller's coattails, w i l l re-elect Sen. Keating.

Pennsylvania: (Scott).

Sen. Scott runs strong on his o w n . Rockefeller's candidacy w o u l d increase his margin, b u t does not spell the difference between victory and defeat.

Vermont: (Prouty).

Despite the governorship upset i n 1962, coattails are not yet needed to assure a Republican victory i n Vermont.

Thus i t appears fairly obvious that in only one Senate race w i l l the Republican Presidential candidate play a major role i n deciding whether the G.O.P. holds the seat or not, that being Sen. E d Mechem's race. W i t h the popular Rep. Joe Montoya as the likely challenger, Mechem's success almost depends on Goldwater*s nomination.

The Democratic side of the aisle presents the extremely f r u i t f u l hunting ground the G.O.P. needs. I f the Republican Party is to be any k i n d of a viable force i n the Senate during the next f e w years, i t is imperative

Goldwater

Kennedy

Two Southerners: Harry Byrd i n Virginia, and Spessard Holland i n Florida w i l l be overwhelmingly reelected—if they r u n . Both are i n their seventies. Should they choose not to run, the Republicans stand an excellent chance of picking up these seats w i t h Goldwater as the Presidential candidate since Virginia and Florida w o u l d go even stronger for him than they d i d for Eisenhower.

Rockefeller could not help the G.O.P. w i t h these seats one iota. A t h i r d possible Southern seat belongs to the very liberal Albert Gore i n Tennessee whose defeat, if there is any chance of that, w o u l d only come w i t h Goldwater leading the ticket.

Breaking down the other seats i n dividually, a definite pattern of Goldwater aid can be established, since eight of the remaining fourteen are 7

in what might be called "Goldwater Republican" areas as opposed to "Rockefeller Republican" areas.

Indiana: (Hartke).

This seat w i l l be Republican w i t h Goldwater's candidacy, provided the G.O.P. comes up w i t h an attractive candidate; and might be Republican anyway even w i t h Rockefeller as head of the ticket.

North Dakqta: (Burdick).

Another Goldwater state, i n w h i c h the situation is nearly parallel w i t h that of Indiana.

Montana: (Mansfield). This one, i n conservative Montana, w o u l d be a big fish, for w h i c h the Goldwater candidacy is an awfully strong lure.

Oklahoma: (Edmondson).

Sen. E d mondson must first survive his own primary. No matter what the outcome, Goldwater is a great aid i n swinging this one to the Republicans; Rockefeller almost no help.

Texas: (Yarborough).

Almost the same situation exists here as i n Oklahoma. A Republican seat is a distinct possibility w i t h Goldwater, practically none w i t h Rockefeller.

Nevada: (Cannon). Goldwater sentiment is strong here among Republicans. The G.O.P. could possibly get this seat w i t h Goldwater as the candidate.

Washington: (Jackson). A n increasing enthusiasm for the Arizona

Senator i n this far-western state definitely lessens "Scoop's" chances w i t h Goldwater as the nominee; but gaining this seat w i l l depend on the strength of the Republican candidate.

Wisconsin: (Proxmire). Sen. Wiley's defeat i n 1962 was a defeat for liberal Republicanism. I f the popular Sen. Proxmire can be beaten at all, i t w i l l take a conservative running on a ticket headed by a conservative Presidential choice.

I n two races neither Goldwater nor Rockefeller are much of an aid.

California: (En^le). This one strictly depends on the man running. I f i t is former Senator Bill Knowland the G.O.P. w i l l probably get the seat; otherwise i t is hard to tell.

Minnesota: (McCarthy).

The Republican Party has weakened here over the last four years. A strong personality might stand a fair chance of beating Sen. McCarthy, but coattails are no advantage.

Four races are feller's candidacy.

aided by Rocke-

Connecticut: (Dodd). There is but an outside chance of an upset here, depending on the Democratic p r i mary. Rockefeller and proximity to New York help, although probably not enough to gain a victory.

Maine: (Muskie).

This seat w i l l likely go Republican anyway, if there is a strong candidate.

New Jersey: (Williams). This one Rockefeller might p u l l i n , although the race w i l l be uphill all the way.

Michigan: (Hart). This is the one Senate race i n which Rockefeller's candidacy does aid enough to quite possibly bring Republican victory.

However, i t is still likely that Kennedy w i l l carry the state.

This pattern is admittedly spotty as a great deal may transpire i n the next eighteen months. Yet the grounds on w h i c h i t is based, and the conclusions drawn, are valid—and a powerful argument for the need of Goldwater's nomination as the vehicle for advancing the Republican Party i n these Senate contests. The reasoning is simple; the great majority of the Democratic seats up are i n the west, south, and midwest—nineteen of the twenty-five—the territory i n w h i c h Kennedy is weak. Rockefeller is weak, but Goldwater is strong.

The conservative is long used to the feeling that, although his position is right, the pragmatic politics of the nation make i t impossible for his beliefs to predominate at the National Convention. But now the pragmatic politics are on our side. For the first time since 1936 they prove, rather than disprove, the argument for a conservative nominee. The ancient cry leveled at conservatives since that time of "But he w i l l hurt the Republican Party," is at last a weapon in our hands. Let's not fail to use i t .

hearings, Shaw was asked if he were employed by the Socialist Workers Party, a Trotskyite group that has been labeled Communist and subversive by the Attorney General. He took the F i f t h Amendment on this and more than 40 other queries.

He refused to deny membership i n the Communist Party and w o u l d not discuss his Cuban jaunt. Committee investigators disclosed that Shaw left the United States for Mexico i n September, 1961, then flew to Cuba where he spent a month.

Upon his return Shaw addressed Fair Play meetings i n N e w York, Chicago and Detroit, telling the "whole t r u t h " about Castro Cuba and showing slides of life behind the Sugarcane Curtain.

Another witness called by H U A C probers was Freddy Jerome, 24-year

The younger Jerome, previously identified as a Communist, traveled to Cuba three times i n 1960, before the State Department ban.

On one trip, acting as an observer at a convention of the Cuban Young Communist League, Jerome traveled w i t h Jake Rosen, another identified Red. Rosen spotted Charles Wiley, an anti-Communist newsman, i n H a vana, fingered h i m for the Cuban Secret Police and saw W i l e y thrown in jail for a week.

I n his H U A C appearance, Jerome was asked: " D i d you i n Cuba receive any information on any matter that you were requested to impart or deliver to persons i n the United States known to you to be members of the Communist Party?"

McLucas received permission to visit Cuba until December 3 1 , 1961.

On February 2, 1962, he showed up at the Swiss Embassy i n Havana and asked officials there to contact Washington and have his passport extended.

The Swiss passed on the request to Washington w i t h this observation: "As expressed verbally, McLucas has very strong political convictions i n favor of the actual Cuban government and even against his own country."

The passport, for reasons not yet known, was extended. McLucas then told the Swiss to keep the passport, thank you, and indicated he was stay(Continued on page 11) 9

I refer to the National Student Association—(which likes to call itself i n print, the United States National Student Association—another lie, but that is a different matter.) NSA has been running into difficulty of late because a great many of its member schools are questioning the organizations right to represent political views of American students.

Whenever an anti-NSA trend on campus gets to the point where some students actually call for disaflRliation, NSA can be counted upon to send out its first string officials to "clear up distortions," etc. about the association.

This " a n t i " movement has appeared on various campuses since 1961—and a grand total of 34 schools w i t h an enrollment of 230,000 have pulled out. Inevitably, Rutgers University, a New Jersey state institution, felt the impact of this nationwide movement.

Praise from The Worker,

and

HUAC So on to Rutgers went NSA president Dennis Shaul, a Notre Dame graduate who served NSA as a vice president i n a prior year. Confronted in public debate by YAF's national chairman. Bob Bauman, Shaul gave a dry, hardly inspiring, defense of the association w h i c h he heads. A t one point Bauman introduced as evidence of NSA's continued leftward trend, words of high praise f r o m the pages of The Worker, an official Communist publication.

10

— Bauman was careful to preface his remarks w i t h the statement that he did not consider NSA i n any way Communist-dominated or infiltrated.

However, he pointed out that Communist youth leaders and front organizers had been allowed free r u n of the last National Student Congress at Ohio State University and had exerted considerable influence on the passage of several important resolutions.

I n rebuttal, Shaul made the amazing statement that none other than the House Committee on Un-American Activities had praised NSA for anticommunist w o r k : Shaul: ''The House Committee on Un-American Activities, in a letter written to Phillips University in 1961 said: 'Not only has this group no trace of being a communist organization, but this group has been the spearhead in the fight against communism at the youth and student level.'' * Bauman pressed Shaul to state whether he knew the quote had been used by NSA supporters at Indiana University during the recent NSA referendum, and that H U A C Staff D i rector Frank McNamara had denied in a wire to the University that the Committee had ever made such a statement about NSA. Shaul denied knowledge of M c Namara's telegram, and stated further * This quote is verbatim from a radio tape recording made of the Bauman-Shaul debate at Rutgers University on, April 30, 1963.

that he was sure that the statement was used w i t h McNamara's permission. He then revealed to his audience that he should know what he was talking about since NSA had only recently sent a representative to the House committee asking about its stand on NSA. McNamara

Letter

W h a t neither Shaul nor Bauman could know at the time of the debate was that M r . McNamara, staff d i rector of the House Committee, had written a letter clarifying the whole point, which was waiting at Y A F headquarters i n Washington — unopened.

The letter, dated A p r i l 25, 1963, was in response to an inquiry made by YAF on A p r f l 19 concerning an advertisement i n the Indiana University newspaper during the NSA dispute there. NSA supporters paid for the f u l l page ad i n the Daily Student for A p r i l 4, 1963, urging the students to vote yes on the NSA referendum, and printing the alleged H U A C quote i n full.

The McNamara letter should leave no doubt that the use of the quote was fraudulent and purposely deceitful.

McNamara explained that, at the request of a U . S. Senator, the committee prepared a four page report on NSA, dated November 14, 1960, w h i c h the Senator forwarded to a member of the Student Senate at Phillips University i n Enid, Oklahoma.

Those famfliar w i t h the committee's policies on requests of this type w o u l d immediately recognize that the report w o u l d not have made conclusive evaluations of NSA—since such characterizations are only made through official reports, issued after hearings and i n vestigations.

McNamara's letter to Y A F was accompanied by a copy of the report.

I n prominent print above the typewritten copy, appears the statement: "This committee makes N O E V A L U A T I O N i n this report. The following is only a compilation of recorded public material contained i n our files and should not be construed as repreTHE

The quote used by Shaul as an endorsement of NSA by H U A C appears on page four of the report. I t was actually made by the NSA Liaison Committee of the National Association of Deans of Women, the National Association of Student Personnel A d ministrators and the American College Personnel Association on A p r i l 1 , 1953 —over ten years ago. The source is clearly stated i n the report.

Other material i n the report is both favorable and unfavorable, compiled f r o m a variety of sources.

ing i n Cuba. I t was not long, however, before McLucas had slipped back into the U n i t e d States, addressed a Fair Play meeting, supplied pictures and written an article for New Horizons for Youth, a Communist publication.

McLucas, who managed to escape H U A C subpoena servers, is one of several US citizens who fled to Cuba and then returned, unexpectedly.

There was Joseph North, a top-ranking US Communist implicated i n Soviet espionage, who reached H a vana some time ago. He returned recently to the States and has addressed Communist meetings since.

There was Fair Play founder Robert Taber, an ex-con (kidnapping, armed robbery, auto theft) who fled to Castroland w i t h $19,000 i n Fair Play funds. He was wounded i n military exercises w i t h the Cuban army, wrote pro-Castro propaganda, and then, suddenly returned to the States.

There are still, however, US citizens, who remain i n Cuba. The most noteworthy is Robert Franklin W i l liams, a hulking, scar-faced Negro, sought by the Federal Bureau of I n vestigation for kidnapping.

A former president of the Monroe, N o r t h Carolina NAACP—he was once JUNE

by the Committee. He says: " I t is difficult for me to understand how the National Student Association could attribute the quotation to the Committee on Un-American Activities, inasmuch as the report specifically stated its source and all Committee reports of this type contain the following prominent notation: ( w h i c h is quoted above.)"

IF M r . Shaul had actually seen the Committee document before making his statement at Rutgers, then he is

suspended for six months for advocating violence—Williams is hysterical in his denunciation of the U n i t e d States.

Radio Havana beams his Voice of Free Dixie to the United States and he is used i n other broadcasts sent throughout the hemisphere.

I n a T V appearance last fall, at the height of the Cuban crisis, Wflliams said: "Cuba has many friends i n the world. The real friends of Cuba w i l l be w i t h Cuba to the death. W e swear as long as we live that we shall never surrender to racism and imperialism.

As an oppressed refugee f r o m John Kennedy's so-called free w o r l d , i n stead of bringing his hypocrisy to Cuba, we invite h i m to take his free w o r l d and go to Hell. N o w let us sharpen our machetes. I f the Yankee dogs come here, let us prepare not to praise them but to bury t h e m . " Other Cuban defectors include: • Barbara Ines Corradini Collins, daughter of a N e w Jersey minister who fled this country while Senate investigators sought her for testimony about pro-Castro activities i n M i a m i .

She now broadcasts to the U n i t e d States i n a manner similar to that of Tokyo Rose and Axis Sally, winning the nickname "Beardless Barbara."

guilty of the most shameful hypocrisy. So also are those who falsely used the quotation i n the Indiana paper claiming i t to be a statement made by the Committee.

Fortunately for both Indiana and Rutgers, students at both schools have seen through the sham and repudiated the organization. Yet, what a sad commentary i t is on our nation s college student community that some of its most "respected" leaders cannot always be relied upon to tell the truth.

• Gloria A n n Gerhardt, a young New Yorker who adopted Cuba as her home i n 1961. She loudly calls the Cuban government an "example of honesty and defense of the people."

American police reports show that Gloria was thrown out of her N e w York apartment building for "undesirable behavior." She had earned the reputation of a "person w i t h very loose morals who entertained men of all races indiscriminately at all hours of the day and n i g h t . " • D a v i d and Betty Michael, Bay Area fellow travelers, who took their children and reached Cuba via Mexico late last year.

The Castro radio tells us that Americans Gerhardt and Wflliams and Michael, et. al., have found "peace and contentment" i n the island paradise that is Cuba today. I t is a peace and contentment that may be shortlived however. Witness the meteoric career of Toledo's W i f l i a m Morgan.

A doughboy i n the Revolutionary Army, Morgan rose quickly to become aide-de-camp to Fidel Castro and executioner-in-chief for Batista "war criminals." Four years after the revolution he helped w i n . Major W f l l i a m Morgan is dead, victim of a Cuban firing squad-and Fidel Castro's whimsey.

YAF BOARD APPOINTS JONES, VIGUERIE National YAF Board Meets in Indianapolis The national Board of Directors of YAF met on A p r i l 27-28 i n Indianapolis, Indiana producing a changing of the guard at national headquarters and a rap for the Kennedy Cuban policy. I n a special resolution, the Board called for a five point plan to put an end to Cuban communism.

The plan includes a tight economic blockade, closing the Panama Canal to trade w i t h Cuba, severing of diplomatic relations w i t h Russia, if Soviet missiles and troops are not w i t h d r a w n completely, and recognition of a Cuban government i n exile.

Bauman expressed the view of the Board; " N a tional Y A F must expand and extend its membership and influence among young Americans everywhere. I t is the duty of national Y A F to provide the political weapons for our thousands of members across the nation.

Dave Jones has demonstrated by his excellent work i n Florida that he has the ability to carry out the program we have mapped."

Outgoing YAF president Blair Crawford, also editor of the Tufts Weekly, answered the YR president by comparing Tufts YAF's record of activity w i t h that of the inactivity of the local YRs. He also pointed out that the YRs have consistently excluded Y A F members from their ranks, prompting YAFer L y n n to comment that the "semisecret Tufts YRs" were being ruled by a "chosen aristocracy."

THE N E W G U A R D

Girl on the Go

A Natural Leader I n a recent issue of Harpers magazine, Virginius Dabney, editor of the Richmond Times-Dispatch called Young Americans for Freedom one of the liveliest young conservative groups i n the South. I f any one person can be given a measure of credit for YAF's Southern exposure, i t is D a v i d R. Jones, YAF's new Executive Director.

As Florida Y A F Chairman, and since last September, as a member of the national Y A F board and as Southern Regional Chairman, Dave Jones has cut a wide swath of political action all across the Southland. N o w he plans the same on a national scale.

The 25-year-old native of West Virginia graduated from Liberty State College i n that state and until last month taught high school i n St. Petersburg, Florida. His subject was "Americanism vs Communism," a special course added to Florida school curriculum to inform students of Jones the nature of Communism and the values of America. Jones taught the course so well that he was chosen "Teacher of the Year" by the local Federation of Womens Clubs, an unusual honor for one so young.

He has also received the American Legions' Patriotism A w a r d and the Junior Chamber of Commerce "Spoke" A w a r d . Jones is a JayCee official i n St. Petersburg.

Under Jones' leadership, Florida Y A F has rapidly expanded to 12 chapters w i t h a state advisory board w h i c h cuts across all party lines. I t includes U.S. Senators Spessard Holland and George Smathers, and Congressman James Haley—all Democrats, as well as Congressman W i l l i a m Cramer, Florida's leading Republican. The one common tie Jones has oreached is active conservatism and constitutional government—a Y A F concept which knows no party lines.

As executive director of national Y A F , Jones w i l l have the tremendous job of increasing Y A F membership and chapters and carrying into action YAF's plans for effective young conservative political action. His past performance makes Dave a natural for the job.

JUNE

1963

I n one of his rare appearances at his national campaign headquarters during the 1960 presidential race, Richard Milhouse Nixon poked his Vice Presidential head into the office of College Youth for Nixon. Spying the pretty young blond who since late 1959 had served as Executive Secretary of Youth for Nixon, the former V.P. made one of the perceptive remarks w h i c h characterized his race against Kennedy. Said D i c k : " A h yes—you're the leftwinger on the staff." The meaning of Nixon's little joke was not lost on Carol Dawson Bauman— and i t was no joke. She was one of the few staunch conservatives on the Nixon staff.

Nixon is gone but Carol's conservatism remains.

The personal and political career of Carol D . Bauman, Managing Editor of the NEW CuARD, has few parallels i n youthful politics L e f t or Right.

There are few posts she has not filled capably and w i t h Bauman some note; National College Co-Chairman of the Young Republican Federation, Executive Secretary of Youth for Nixon, founding member of Young Americans for Freedom at Sharon, member of the national board of Y A F for its first two years, aide to Congressman D o n Bruce of Indiana, wife of Y A F national chairman, Bob Bauman, and mother of one of the brightest young conservatives i n temporary captivity—15 month old " T e d d y " Bauman. Politician, intellect, housewife, mother and NEW GUARD major dome all rolled into one.

W h a t makes Carol go? The Chicago Tribune characterized her as "not atypical" of the bright young people emerging i n the growing tide of youthful conservatism. Born i n Indianapolis, I n d . , Carol was raised i n the Washington, D . C. area and graduated from Dunbarton College i n 1959 where she majored i n A r t and English. She headed the Dunbarton YR Club, edited the newspaper and worked part time for Vice-President Nixon. After graduation, she worked for Americans for Constitutional Action and attended graduate school i n Politics at Catholic University.

Carol has written for National Review, The Individualist, USA, and one of her articles appeared i n the first issue of the excellent I S I publication. Under Thirty, a magazine devoted to the best of young conservative writing. She has been written about in the New York Times, The Washington Tost, Chicago Tribune, Indianapolis Times and Star, and several other papers around the country.

W h y does she do it? Carol answers: " I have to—for my country, my son, my family and my conscience." W h a t produces such a young conservative activist? " M y early contact w i t h YR politics. National Review, Human Events and the Individualist all made an impression on me. W h e n I came to justify m y political beliefs I found that I was firmly committed, without knowing i t as such, to a philosophy of the natural law, and traditional American conservatism."

Drawing on her wide experience i n young conservative affairs Carol leaves us w i t h this thought: "After the 1960 campaign I knew more than ever that the Republican Party w i l l continue to lose untff i t adopts the basic conservative philosophy of the average American. Y A F and the NEW GUARD provide a non-partisan channel for the expression of youthful conservatism which has been so sadly neglected by the party "leaders" both Democrat and Republican."

Dear YAF Member: The National Draft Goldwater Committee was formed l a s t month with one main objective to convince Senator Barry Goldwater that the people of America want him to rim for President i n 1964. The Draft Committee rightly believes that when millions of Americans show Senator Goldwater their support for him and their concern with the Nation's future^ he w i l l respond with that same s e l f l e s s s p i r i t of dedication to h i s country which has marked his service i n the U.S. Air Force and the United States Senate.

How can you demonstrate your support of Goldwater for President? The answer i s p l a i n .

On the evening of July 4th i n Washington^ D. C. at the National Guard Armory there w i l l be a giant "GOLDWATER FOR PRESIDENT INDEPENDENCE DAY RALLY." Thousands of patriotic Americans are coming from a l l over the nation for this important p o l i t i c a l event. Senator John G. Tower of Texas, Congressman John Ashbrook of Ohio, and Governor Paul Faxinin of Arizona w i l l be the principal speakers. The program w i l l feature entertainment by many stage and screen personalities. Members of Congress, Republican party o f f i c i a l s , and delegates at the 1960 Republican National Convention w i l l attend. You should be there as well to l e t Senator Goldwater know he has your solid support.

Tickets to the Rally are free and may be obtained from the Draft Goldwater Committee, Post Office Box 1964, Washington 25, D. C. The Committee w i l l also send you petitions asking Senator Goldwater to seek the nomination.

I urge each of you to attend this Draft Goldwater R a l l y . I f possible have your YAF Chapter charter a bus and bring a group. This i s a test of strength which cannot - and with your help - w i l l not f a i l . We must demonstrate to the country and the world that America wants Goldwater.
