nevertheless fly. the direction of a life. Peo-
ple who thrive on effort and hard work
and sacrifloe. The world has always moved
ahead only because of the existence of such
people. Are they dying out in the present
generation? Certainly not Certainly not.
Students at Wheaton, as In many other
colleges, live under an honor system. They
bind themselves to obey certain regulations
and to set that those regulations are obeyed
by others. It works remarkably well. I
wonder how many of us can imagine such
a system In the city halls or State houses of
our respective homes,
The" students show increasing concern
for the state of society and the world in
general, as indeed the current fund drive and
other campus activities of the year show.
They work long and hard at their academic
work, and they add to their 0- or 50-hour-
weeks charitable enterprises, pocket money
jobs, and political and social interests.
They support one another. One of the
most Impressive aspects of college life is the
degree to which young people In trouble can
rely on their fellow students. Half the peo-
ple who come into a dean's office are not
there on their own behalf but are there to
try to find a solution for the problems of a
roommate or a friend, When a student I.
dismissed from college for violation of rules
or for academic failure, It is routine for other
students to volunteer to make personal secri-
fioes In order to give the dismissed student
another chance.
They are honest. There tuaIon

almost anywhere also. I sometimes think
that what shocks their elders most is exactly
their cheerful forthrightness in facing their
own shortoomings atid'Calking about them.
They. are charitable. If. the ' question of
racial intetntion qra left to the college stu-
dents of aria counntry," the problems would
have long since dleapp., 'ed. ' At their beat
they are sacrificial and brave. The young

Your daughters will tell you. If they have
not already done so, that thew are prob-
lpms In their generation, as in every gener-
ation, They are not saints.. Some have
greater strength of character than others,
and the temptations to human frailty placed
before the young people of today are surely
no less than they ever were. But by and
large no one Who spends day in and day out
With Wheaton students can bav any doubt
that they are growing up to be bulwarks of
and Iuteilectuea leaders of whom any so-
ciety can be' proud, But I am Concerned

your neighbors are genuinely concerned
about the world and its future and are will,
Ing to make sacrifices for their own Ideals,
live for awhile, as you are living this week-
end, in a college dormitory. But remember
that there is no better way to destroy the
genuine moral vision of our young people
than to exaggerate the moral Importance of
their foibles or to let them iielleve that we
consider their dress and their dating habits
and their views about the Beatles of greater
cosmic imlortanee than dishonesty in gov-
ernment and business, poverty and despair
in city tenements; police brutality in Selma,
or the wanton destruction of lives In the
Congo and in Vietnam.
It Is surely one of the purposes of col-
leges like Wheaton to accentuate the post-
tlve and to build on the lively Interest, the
moral strength, and the emotional resilience
of the young. I hope we can always have
the joyful support of parents In this
enterprise.
And if your daughters are full of health
and promise, what about the dollop? What

comes in for Its share of criticism some of
it deserved, some not. some serious, some
petty, most of It (like the criticism you
direct at your daughters) constructive in
purpose and friendly In tone. Like the girls,
we have some of the pains and problems of
growth and of establishing for ourselves a
new and more significant role In society.
Like the girls, we have chosen. I believe, a
basically sound set of goals and need only,
to learn how to modify and adjust our
preaches to those goals.
We have recently strengthened our faculty
by additions to the departments of eco-
nomies, government. sociology, and history.
We have also enlarged. the staff of classics,
Spanish, German, Russian, and French.. We
will add another professor in art and brie
in philosophy next year. We have also sub-
.Itantially increased faculty salaries for an-
other year and have. undertaken to provide
'.new quarters for the nursery school. and for
.the department of psychology, file former
to a new building and the latter by r snodal-
Ing of the, old gymnasium which, : will be
freed when our Impressive Clark Recreation
Center is opened in a few weeks.
The curriculum continues under active
and continuous review, as do calendars,
grading procedures, and other aspects of our
-major task.
- We shalt have to undertake a major cern-
paign for capital needs sometime In the next
.couple of years In order to provide badly
needed scholarship funds, the long overdue
science building (already designed and
awaiting the necessary money) and various
renovations and restorations of existing
facilities, including an organ for this build-
ing which you will see in seals model in
Watson Hall.
But we are on our way. We are happy
.about our general'-goats and achievements,
and we intend to build for the future on the
traditional Wheaton description of an excel-
lent, small, residential, private, liberal arts
college for women. Those adjectives are all

Mr.

pleased-to can the Members' attention to
the 26111 anniversary of Slovak -Inds-
pendelibe Day.
Unfortunately, high-ranking oflielaU

WorldtPar II period and during the
diplontlc negotiations with the Soviets
in thtl'3atter days of the war, felled to
underd the aspirations of the Slovak
peopl or Independence.
Co ently, the brave Slovak people,
along th other nations behind the Iron
Cur , are now suffering under the
drea4' ression of oommunlstn. I car-
tai nu+ )e and pray that the Slovak
pebplq ss courageous spirit and love of
freedom will be maintained until the day
when"they regain their national Inde-
pen e. Surely they will be freed from
Cwrnist persecution and achieve their
rightful place In the community of free
natic s.
I Ittlow that the religious heritage of
Roman Catholicism, which the great ma-
jortty'of Slovaks hold dear, is a constant
source of Inner strength to them In re-
sisting C? ilnunist philosophy.

JAY 0. HAYDEN
(Mr. GERALD R. FORD (at the 1'e-
quest of Mr. Moftroii) - was granted per-
mission to extend 'Lis remarks at this
point In the Rxooas and - to include ex-

Mr. GERALD R. FORD. Mr. Speaker,
yesterday I spoke of the retirement of
Jay 0. Hayden. who for nearly 60 years
has been a political writer in Washington
for the Detroit News.
Today, under leave to extend my re-
marks,- I Include, his last dispatch en-
titled "Signing Off."` I. think all of uis
who have known Jay and appreciated
his outstanding services will be Interested
in his "last dispatch" which appeared In
the Detroit News on February 26, 1983:
HArDm ur WAerrtNOrON: &oz.n o Orr
(fly Jay O. Hayden)
W.-.rtrNOTON, February 20.-In this, my
last dispatch, to the Detroit News after more
than 49 years as a Washington correspondent
It seems fitting to recall a tow of the changes,
particularly as sCecting news reporting, over
this long period.
Taking off from Detroit on Christmas Day,
1015, I boarded the Pennsylvania Railroad's
Capital Limited at 11 a.nt. and arrived In
Washington after breakfast the following
morning.
Moving my family later, our modal T Ford
was loaded In a freight car along with the
furniture and was 6 weeks in transit. The
autornobile. drained for fear of fire. was
pushed out on the .freight platform on ar-
rival and treated to one quart at, free gaso-
line to enable we to drive it away. J seem
to recall that the price of gasoline at that
time was about 10 cents a galloa.
There were advantageis and disadvantages
for newspaper 'reporters In those days.
Helpful was the total absence of radio and
television, leaving printed words all alque in
the field of public tnforbaatton. Telephones
were widely used locally, but had barely be-
gun to develop over long distances. News
tranemisrten within the United States and
overseas was almost exelusfvely by hand
operated telegraph or by mail.
COlnsrtnd rrrxns
There was the advantage, however, that
competition between two telegraph compa-
nies, Western Union and Postal, for news-
paper trade was terrific. Their lines were

REPEAL EXCISE TAX ON COM UNX-

(Mr BROCK (at the request of Mr.
MORTON) was granted permission, to ex-
tend his. remarks at this point In the
R eoz and to Include extraneous mat.-

Mrl BROCK, Mr. Speaker, In 1951.
Congiesp voted temporary increases In
excise tax rates to help cover the cost.of
our ootlntsy'a participation In the Kore-
an war. The increases were extended In
1954 said annually since then. Taxes on

were Included in the annual extensions
starting in 1959. The excise tax extem-
