The bargain prices which prevail at these establishments are regarded by many in the military service as "fringe benefits" to compensate for some less desirable aspects of military life, including the level of salaries. These attitudes on the part of the military are not shared by all--including many members of Congress who regard commissary stores as inimical to our free enterprise system and as an extravagant luxury which the federal government should not support. Commissary stores were established originally at military posts located in remote areas far removed from shopping areas. These privately owned stores replaced the earlier "sutlers" or licensed peddlers who followed the troops in Civil War days and supplied the personal needs of the officers and men with civilian merchandise. Today there are 289 commissary stores located in United States and another 217 such stores at overseas locations. These great merchandising centers dispose of about $1 billion of civilian goods ranging from tooth picks to expensive jewelry, usually at bargain prices not to be found in any private off-base shopping center or department store. In 1953 the Congress expressed dissatisfaction with the growth and operation of commissary stores at military posts and sought to outlaw such stores wherever merchandise was available at reasonable prices in close proximity. However, in establishing criteria under this statute, the Department of Defense has failed to discontinue operation of a single commissary store. On the contrary, the. number of such stores has increased from 210 at the time the law was enacted to 289 in 1964. In an effort to carry out the congressional policy, the sum of $100,000 has been appropriated . annually to conduct surveys as to the reasonableness of prices and proximity of privately operated stores. The futility of this congressional action can be demonstrated by the example of two commissary stores at Cameron Station, Va., and Fort -Myer, Va., each of which is located within one MED FORCES TO COMPLETE EXAMS IN JULY " Illinois Selective Service local boards will begin in July to order 18-year-old registrants for complete examination by the Armed Forces, John H. Hammack, state director of Selective Service, said this week. He emphasized that the examination of 18-year-olds does not mean that they face induction in the immediate future. The examination of 18-yearolds who are out of school and not deferred for other reasons initiates a program announced by President Johnson on Jan. 5, 1964. The President directed th^ Secretary of Defense and the director of Selective Service to begin the early examination of 18-year-olds after a presidential study determined that large numbers of young men being found disqualified for military service were interested in obtaining educational, vocational and medical rehabilitation. At present, men are being reached for induction between 21V* and 22, as a national average age of involuntary induction is about 21 to 22.

The commissary store at Cameron Station did more than $10 million worth of business last year at an expense to the federal government of $1 million for pay and allowances of military and civilian personnel employed at the store and not charged to the customers. The Fort. Myer operation resulted in a $640,000 federal expense- In a recent report to the Congress, the Comptroller General of the United States estimates that the loss to the government from the operation of the military commissary stores totaled almost $150 million per year. In addition (since the annual surveys have not caused the discontinuance of a single commissary store), the $100,000 annual survey cost has caused a useless outlay of $1 million since 1953. A great public controversy continues while the commissary stores record everincreasing annual sales. Store owners located near military posts- lare justifiably disturbed by the competition resulting from the federally subsidized bargain centers at most of our military bases. The question is asked as to whether this nation should support a double standard dependent upon whether a person is employed in a civilian enterprise or at a military base. For instance, under the present system an Army captain's wife may buy a particular loaf of bread at 11c a loaf while her next-door neighbor, employed at a civilian factory, must pay 22c at the supermarket for the same loaf of bread. It would seem timely for the Congress to establish policy consisting of more than mere words in a federal statute. If commissary stores are to continue as a military way of life and as a continuing "fringe benefit" for our military families, the Congress should declare this intention by repealing the 1953 Act and conserving the $100,000 spent annually on the surveys which were intended to reduce the commissary store load. The Joint Economic Committee of the Congress, to which the comptroller general's report was delivered, should come forth with some concrete policy statement as well as some recommended action. Regardless of one's attitude on the 1964 civil rights bill, it must be recognized that major credit for enactment of this historic legislation belongs to our Illinois' Senator Everett M: Dirksen, minority leader of the Senate. More than one citizen of the 12th Congressional district has been surprised at the leadership role on this measure assumed by this conservative veteran on Capitol Hill. Senator Dirksen has worked quietly and without apparent effort to gain any political advantage or prestige from the civil rights bill. It is clear, too, that he has sought to be botb conscientious and objective in his work on this issue. During recent months, he has received numerous threats of political retribution. Also, he has withstood the taunts of racists and bigots, as well as the jibes of numerous integration zealots unfamiliar with political realities. • Senator Dirksen's frequent references to the constitutional aspects of the civil rights legislation offer convincing support for the thesis that he has endeavored to work within the constitutional framework on this subject of legislation, seeking to protect constitutional guarantees of individual rights while recognizing the basic limitations on the federal power in this area.

"PROFILES IN COURAGE" l>> John F.' Kennedy (memorial <Hlition with a special forward by Robert F. Kennedy) In .1954-55, Senator John Kennedy's, active role in the affairs Of the nation was interrupted for the better part of a year by his convalescence from an operation to cbrrect a disability incurred as skipper of a World War II torpedo boat. The Senator used his "idle" hours to great advantage; he rediscovered, and did intensive research into the courage and patriotism of a handful of Americans who at crucial moments in history had revealed a special sort of greatness: men who disregarded dreadful consequences to their public and private Jives to do that one thing which seemed right in itself. These men ranged from the extraordinarily colorful to the near-drab; from the born aristocrats to the self-made. They were men of various political and regional allegiances their one overriding loyalty was to the United States and to the right as God gave them to see it. There was John Quincy Adams, who lost his Senate seat and was repudiated in Boston for his support of his father's enemy, Thomas Jefferson; Sam Houston, who performed political acts of courage as dramatic as his heroism on the field of battle; Thomas Hart Benton, whose proud and sarcastic tongue fought against the overwhelming odds that insured his political death; and Edmund Ross, who "looked down into his open grave" as he saved President Johnson from an impeachment; and bring to an end the Southern Democrat filibuster -- Senator Dirksen declared in his sonorous voice: "Stronger than all the armies is an idea whosft time has come. This (the civil rights bill) is an idea whose time Has come. It will not be stayed. It will not be denied." He described the civil rights legislation as a "moral issue" with which the nation is confronted. Senator Dirksen is not a candidate for re-election or for any other office. His role in civil rights debate cannot, under any circumstances, be considered a political move. To the extent that it is possible to keep civil rights legislation on a bipartisan basis, this Illinois Senator has been eminently successful. On behalf of those who have sought meaningful civil rights legislation, as well as those who have feared an excess of federal activity in this field, Senator Dirksen has directed a course of reasonable action. This report is not intended as final judgement on all parts of the civil rights bill. However, it is intended to note the final resolution of this historic issue and to appropriately recognize the prominent part played by Senator Everett Mc- Kinley Dirksen of Illinois. Norris of Nebraska; and Taft of Qbio; and Lamar of Mississippi (who did as much as any one-man to heal the wounds of Civil war). There was Daniel Webster, scourged for his devotion to the Union by the most talented array of constituents ever to attack a Senator. For tmost part Kennedy's patriire United States Senators, he also pays tribute to such as Governor Altgeld of ois and Charles - Evans Hughes of New York. And in the opening and closing chapters, which are as inspiring as they afe revealing, Senator Kennedy drew on his personal experience to tell something of the satisfactions and burdens of a Senator's job --of the pressures, both outward and inward, and of the standards by which a man of principle must work and live. John F. Kennedy used wonderful skill in transforming the facts of history into dramatic personal stories. There are suspense, color and .inspiration here, but first of all there is extraordinary understanding of that intangible thing called courage. Courage such as these men shared, Senator Kennedy made clear, is central to all morality a man does what he must in spite of personal consequences- and these exciting stories suggest the thought that, without in the least disparaging the courage with which men die, we should not overlook the true greatness adorning those acts of courage with which men must live. "Profiles In Courage" won a Pulitzer Prize for biography in 1957. All proceeds from Robert F. Kennedy's special foreward are being contributed to the Kennedy Memorial Library. All of the publisher's profits go to the Kennedy Memorial Award for a book of history or biography. "THE TIMES I'VE SEEN:" Oliver St. John Gogarty, A Biography by Ulick O'Connor Here is a book to savor. And here is the unequivocal and joyous life of a real man--one of Ireland's legendary figures. Replete with the wisdom of one who truly knew the art of living, "The Times I've Seen" is a classic example of good humor, brilliant writing, and above all, great conversation. The strong, joyously dissenting voice of Oliver St; John Gogarty still echoes in Dublin, London and New York--in medical circles, libraries and pubs, and on the playing fields of Trinity college, Dublin. Surgeon, Irish revolutionary, Senator, dramatist, aviator and conversationalist, all of these and more can be used to describe Oliver St. John Gogarty, James Joyce's model for "Buck" Milligan, Stephen Daedalus' boon companion in Ulysses. Here is the Dublin of Joyce, Yeats, Synge, George Moore, James Stephens, the exciting world of Irish Renaissance, bawdy life, violence, laughter, side by side with the all-pervading Irish melancholy that are as typical of the Irish as the jig and the come-all-ye. It is a broth of a book. "BLACK AMBER" by Phyllis A.
