EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. SEYMOUR HALPERN
OF -NEW YORK
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Wednesday, October 11, 1967
Mr. HALPERN, Mr. Speaker, I am in-
serting in the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD the
very significant and timgly remarks of
my distinguiphec Colleague, the gentle-
;nap from Virginia, Congressman BROY-
HILL, who has rendered a vital service to
the Middle East, hiding like cowards behind
the robes of the Arabs. The Arabs acted with
arrogance and open contempt for the basic
right of Israel, a free nation, to exist.
Israel was the only factor standing in the
way of the Communist Arab clique in its
cynical move. to exploit America's preoccupa-
tion with Viet Nam and weakening of NATO.
They planned to use Israel as the scapegoat
in a brutal and calculated attempt to expel
American influence from the Middle East,
and even from the Mediterranean.
Israel was characterized as the stooge of
the United States. But Israel proved not only
not a stooge, but a nation with the courage
and determination that our own Government
lacked.
As we, the American people . . . regard-
less of religion ... look back in re-examin-
ation of those tense days in May, we must
face some conclusions. We must face the im.-
mitment signed by Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles in 1957. It was a solemn under-
taking to support Israel If the Arabs closed
the Straits of Tiran.
Soviet military equipment of the latest de-
sign poured into the Arab States. The Arabs,
having sealed the straits without American
intervention, saw the commitments so often
expressed by the Executive Branch of our
Government were meaningless.
They watched the Tripartite Declaration,
linking Britain and France with us in pre-
serving freedom in the Middle East, dissolve
into nothing.
Arab armies mobilized on Israel's borders.
They prepared for the final and fatal blow,
the liquidation of Israel. They would ride
the crest of success, having closed the straits
and brought King Hussein of Jordon into
their camp. Soviet strategy backed the Arabs
each step of the way. Russian warships
sailed into the Mediterranean to neutralize
the U.S. 6th Fleet.
The Executive Branch of our Government
proclaimed no doctrine of "thus far and no
further". The commitment held so firmly in
Viet Nam was ignored in the Middle East.
,Was Saigon more sacred than Jerusalem?
The State Department boys felt that if
Israel had to go, it was a domino that we
could spare. They advised against U.S. mili-
tary Involvement on the side of Israel. They
told the President that U.S, action in the
Mediterranean might offend the Arab world
and turn them toward Moscow . as if
they are not already very far gone in that
direction.
The war was thrust upon Israel. Thank
God the Israelis were not found wanting.
They thrilled the inner heart of every Amer-
ican devoted to human freedom. It was the
little guy against the bully. It was a little
country of 21/z million against the hundreds
of millions of Arabs, Russians, Red Chinese,
and so forth. David slew Goliath. We shared
Israel's joy and exhilaration in escaping the
cruel fate intended for her. '
But I seem to remember the State Depart-
ment proclaiming that we were "neutral in
word, thought, and deed". Perhaps the pol-
icy-makers were neutral. I was not. I saw a
great deal of difference between the inde-
pendent, free republic of Israel and the pro-
Communist Arab dictatorships, I am pleased
to report tonight that your Congressman
was not neutral in word, in thought, nor in
deed.
Let us look back in reflection . not in
recrimination. If we understand the past we
are not doomed to repeat previous errors.
We must be grateful that Israel survived and
repelled aggression on a do-it-yourself basis.
But we must allow Israel to consolidate her
victory, in our own American interests as
well as for the survival of the Jewish State.
We must guard against any tendency to
barter away the fruits of Israel's victory. We
must guard against appeasement of the
Arabs and Communists in the Middle East,
especially at a time when American boys are
dying In Viet Nam. We must not permit a
vacuum to develop in the Middle East that
would again allow the enemies of freedom to
miscalculate. Next time the results might
not turn out as well as in June. We cannot
allow Israel to be turned into another Viet
Nam.
Only the strongest American posture of
defense and openly stated U.S. purpose will

There is no question of where the Com-
munists stand on the issue of Israel. They
despise the brave Israelis for frustrating the
Russian timetable for penetration in a vital
area.
But where does our own Government
stand? That is what is troubling me. I have
heard the old Hebrew saying that "the watch-
man of Israel does nqt sleep and does' not
slumber". That would be in excellent slogan
for our entire nation.
King Hussein of Jordan jumped like a
jackal into the war when he thought the
pro-Communist regimes of Egypt and Syria
would,destroy Israel. We had given him tre-
mendous American aid. We were sold an im-
age of the 'king as an alleged moderate' and
friend of the United States. But when the
showdown came, Jordan joined Communist-
oriented forces of aggression.
Jordan has ignored Israel's practical and
generous offer to establish a cooperative re-
lationship with Lebanon and Jordan for the
rrlutuai_development of all three. Israel en-
:visaged export of Jordanian products through
Israeli ports. Israel's genius for technical
and agricultural progress would be available
to the Arabs. All that was asked of the Jor-
danians,.was a firm and fair peace agreement.
The Jordanians gave their answer with
bullets and bombs. Terrorists in recent weeks

leftist Arab camp.
The State Department's response, I regret
to report, is 'the presentation of checks total-
ling about $6 million to Xing Hussein .. .
to prop up the Jordanian economy. And this
is merely a portion of some $27 million we
expect to give Jordan this year. We are also
said to be studying the grant of new U.S.
arms to Jordan.
'T'his can only be interpreted by Hussein
as appeasement and softness I feel It is ab-

by faking peace with Israel. Israel told Jor-

gave vent to her hate and greed. Let her now
face the consequences.

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - APPENDIX c o er 11, 1967
ing. They see in their experiences only what
they wish to be true above all other truths.
Medical records indicate that most people
now taking the drug are young, mainly 'be..
tween 17 and 25; but a number of older per-
sons also turn to L.S.D., especially persons
having some difficult personality conflict.
One significant statement about the use
,of L.S.D. was made by Freedman and Powel
son in the Nation on January 31, 1966:
L.S.D. enthusiasts talk of religious conver-
sions, the awakening of artistic creativity,
the reconciliation of opposites. The main
change to be observed in such individuals,
however, is that they have stopped doing
anything. The aspiring painter talks of the
heightening of his aesthetic sensibilities and
skills, but he has stopped painting. The grad-
uate student who withdrew from writing his
dissertation in philosophy talks of the won-
drous philosophical theories he has evolved.
But nothing is written. It seems that the
world of fantasy has become far more com-
pelling than external things. Indeed, fantasy
is substituted for reality."
We know now that long-term subtlee'~psy-
chological damage may result from L.S.D.
Such damage may beyglossed over by the
pleasure and enthusiasm engendered by the
substance, but we have seen too many cases
of phychic breakdown to doubt the serious
dangeis of the drug. It is even possible that
the brain is structurally damaged. There is
recent evidence that L.S.D. attacks heredi-
tary genes.
In short, our professional medical opinion
is that playing with L.S.D. is a desperately
dangerous form of "drug roulette." The
medical evidence is clear. Any person taking
L.S.D. runs the clear risk of psychotic break-
down and lcngrun physiological damage.

was always interested in building and
development. In becoming an engineer,
he was following in his father's footsteps.
During World War II, Carl T. Jones
served his country with distinction as a
combat engineer in Alaska and in Europe.
Immediately after the war, he was the
only Reserve officer to serve as an in-
structor at the Army War College.
His service to the community grew
as the city of Huntsville expanded at an
unprecedented rate during the past 10
years. He. was considered a full-time
civil servant and a leader in every
worthwhile project in the city.
Carl T. Jones served as a founder and
early president of the Huntsville Indus-
trial Expansion Committee, a group con-
cerned with attracting new industry to
the area; president of the Rotary Club;
president of Huntsville Industrial As-
sociates, Inc., an industrial development
group; head of G. W. Jones & Sons, con-
sulting engineers; was on the board of
directors of the First National Bank of
Huntsville and the North Alabama
Mineral Development Co.; was a member
of the First Methodist Church, Chamber
of Commerce, Newcomer Society; His-
torical Society; Veterans of Foreign
Wars; American Legion; Knight Tem-
plars of the Masonic Order; Alabama
Cattlemen's Association; Alabama Farm
Bureau: Ducks Unlimited, and American
Society of Civil Engineers. He was also
active in real estate, farming, and other
business interests.
He received Huntsville's "Distinguished
Citizen Award" in 1965.
His; unexpected death came October 7
while watching the University of Ala-
bame football game in Birmingham.
As; a close personal friend for nearly
40 years, I have extended to his wife and
family most heartfelt sympathy at his
deatti.
Begause the people of the Huntsville
area 'depended so heavily on Carl T.` Jones
for the spark of drive and leadership to
accomplish worthwhile projects, the
family's loss will be -shared by the entire
community.
Mr. JONES of Alabama. Mr. Speaker,
with a grew sense of personal loss I re-
port the death of Carl T. Jones, Hunts-
ville, Ala.'s foremost civic worker. An
.engineer by profession, he devoted count-
less hours to, building of dozens` of civic
projects to provide a better life for all 'in
the rapidly growing space center of north
Alabama. Ile was an eager and tireless
salesman for Huntsville and was respon-
sible for attracting many new industries
to the area.
He had a vision of the potential for
proper development of the great Tennes-
see Valley area of Alabama and he had
the ability, courage, and determination
to work for realization of that vision.
It was a great personal pleasure for me
to work with Carl T. Jones in numerous
endeavors in the Huntsville area. His
knowledge and enthusiasm provided the
extra push often so necessary for the ac-
complishment of a significant goal. No
community ever h&d a? more devoted
worker for proper progress and develop-
ment.
As the son of an influential? pioneer
Madison County family, Carl T. Jones
How To Tell a Democrat From a
Republican
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. ANDREW JACOBS, JR.
OV INDIANA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Wednesday, October 11, 1967
Mr. JACOBS. Mr. Speaker, at last the
confusion about the difference between
a Democrat and a Republican has been
cleared up. In fact, it was cleared up in
November 1962, by Mr. Will Stanton, by
his article in the Ladies' Home Journal, a
part of which appears as follows:
To BE READ ALOUD BY A DEMOCRAT TO A
REPUBLICAN OR BY A REPUBLICAN TO A
DEMOCRAT
Although` to the casual glance Republi-
cans and Democrats may appear to be al-
most, indistinguishable, here are some hints
which should result in positive identifica-
tion t
Democrats seldom make good polo lS'-
ers. They would rather listen to Bela Bartok.
The people you see coming out of white
wooden churches are Republicans.
Democrats buy most of the books that
have been banned somewhere. Republicans
form censorship committees and read them
as a group.
Republicans are likely to have fewer but
larger debts that. cause them no concern,
Democrats owe a lot of small bills. They
don't worry either.
Republicans consume three fourths of all
the rutabaga produced in this country. The
remainder is thrown out.
Republicans usually wear hats and almost
always clean their paintbrushes.
Democrats give their worn-out clothes to
those less fortunate. Republicans wear theirs.
Republicans post all the signs saying No
Trespassing and These Deer are Private Prop-
erty and so on. Democrats bring picnic bas-
kets and start their bonfires with the signs.
Republicans employ exterminators. Demo,
crate step on the bugs.
Republicans have governesses for their
children. Democrats have grandmothers.
Democrats name their children after cur-
rently popular sports figures, politicians and
entertainers. Republican children are named
after their parents or grandparents, accord-
ing to where the most money is.
Large cities such as New York are filled
with Republicans-up until 5 P.M. At this
point there is a phenomenon much like an
automatic washer starting the spin cycle.
People begin pouring out of every exit of
the city. These are Republicans going home.
Democrats keep trying to out down on
smoking, but are not successful. Neither are
Republicans.
Republicans tend to keep their shades
drawn,. although there is seldom any reason
why they should. Democrats ought to, but
don't.
Republicans fish from thee~ stern of a char-
tered boat. Democrats sit on'the dock and let
the fish come to them.
Republicans study the financial pages of
the newspaper. Democrats put them in the
bottom of the bird cage.
Most of the stuff you see alongside the
road has been thrown out of car windows
by Democrats.
On Saturday, Republicans head for the
hunting lodge or the yacht club. Democrats
wash the car and get a haircut.
Republicans raise dahlias, Dalmatians and
eyebrows. Democrats raise Airedales, kids
and taxes.
Democrats eat the fish they catch. Repub-
licans hang them on the wall.
Democrats watch TV Crime and Western
shows that make them clench their fists and
become red in the face. Republicans get the
same effect from the presidentialpress con-
ferences.
Christmas cards that Democrats send are
filled with reindeer and chimneys and long
messages. Republicans select cards contain-
ing a spray of holly, or a single candle.
Democrats are continually saying, "This
Christmas we're going to be sensible." Re-
publicans consider this highly unlikely.
Republicans smoke cigars on weekdays.
Republicans have guest rooms. Democrats
have spare rooms filled with old baby furni-
ture.
Republican boys date Democratic girls.
They plan to marry Republican girls, but
feel they're entitled to a little fun first.
Democrats make up plans and then do
something else. Republicans follow the plans
their grandfathers made.
Democrats purchase all the tools-the
power saws and mowers. A Republican prob-
ably wouldn't know how to use a screwdriver.
Democrats suffer from chapped hands and
headaches. Republicans have tennis elbow
and gout.
Republicans sleep in twin beds-some even
in separate rooms. That is why there are
more Democrats.
