MAINE STATE POLICE · TheMaineState Police laun­ch~d 120 new investig!ltions into vioiations of .the state's junkyard statutes during the six-mongh period ending .Tune 30, Col. Parker F. Henness­ey announced Wednesday.

Of that number, 19 were cl­eared with 101 pending, Hen­nessey noted. The cases were among 650 investigations made in all. from Jan. 1 to June 30, .233 of which were cleared. Four hundred seyenteen of the total are pending.

Hennessey observed that the bulk of the cleared cases were the result of his department's policy of stressing compliance on the part of violators with state statutes rather than pun­.itive action.

Two state police office:rs are assigned full-ti.me to the in­vestigation. of violations of the statutes governing the opera­tion of junkyards.

tEb.ttnrinlly &prnk ing AN INDEPENDENT T.V. WATCHER'S VIEW OF POLITICAL . CONVENTIONS

. The 1968 Conventions of the two major political parties in the United States are now a matter ofhistory. :rhe contrasts between the two events 'were marked. w.; ·are sure that in both parties many were complacently sati.sfied while many others were sad-ly disappointed. · · It is our opinion that the Republican Convention was a gather­

ing of the affluent middle class completely at home in the plush atmosphere of Miami Beach. On the television screen· they came across as the stereotyped kooky hatted, horn blowing conven­tioneers. They indulged their vanity with endless nomination of non-:-candidates and s~conding sp~eches ad infinitum. In this way thedelegateswhqed away their tim~. while, to allappearances. the busi-ness of tne convention was 2oi1Qucted with all dispatch, and largely behind the scenes .

'fhe Grand Old Party nominated a Republican's Republ.i.can showing little consideration for the polls of American. opinion. They gave him a nonentity for a running mate and stood him upon a platform of plati tud.es containing a plank on Vietnam that would not hamper the :campaigning ofHo .Chi Minh or William· Fulbright. · . ·

This exhibition was not Worthy of the value and dignity of the people who support th~ basic ide.als of the Republican party and who serve brilliantly in:.io,yal, county and state capacities be­fore. our very eyes. It is• our humble but sad opinion that the political aspirations of our .. local Republican candidates will not be enhanced by their national. running mates.

While the Republican Convention seemed to be a Do-nothing gathering, the Democratic Coriventio.n was a Do-everything C.onvention. · ·

Granted that froiD: this distance, we must form our opinions from ~hat we see and hear on the Television, we gathered the feeling that what was affirmed in the Primaries was disavowed in the .smoke -filled rooms.

Probably . never before did such fine people get nominated under worse circumstan,ces. While Hubert Humphrey ·and our own Senator Ed M\lslde came across as the sincere progress­ive politicians that they are! their nominations were marred bY the police state tactics of machine boss Richard Daley.

Neverbefore to our knowledge, has a mayor found it necess­ary to surround a convention hall vtith barbed wire and fill it

· with plain clothed and uniformed police. Never b efore has the chairman of a legitimate delegation been dragged from the hall

· and off to jail in . handcuffs-as was the chairman of the delega -tion of our sister state, New Hampshire. He was arrested as he attempted 1;o prove that the elaborate credentials security system was a fraud. However, his crime was not so great t).l!l.t he could not be excused on the word of the law of C hie ago ,Mayor Daley.

One thing that can be said for the Democratic qonveution. is that it was anything but dull. There was comrnittment evident onall sides. People tried to work for the democratic process. It was evident that m~ny people were deeply committed to the pressing problems at hand.

The one thing that was most evident, however, was that the Democratic Convention was run with an iron gavel by the party machine and anti-Establishment delegates were hard put to gain the .floor.

While their candidate did not win, they have learned much about how to work within the party system and it is doubtful that with four more years of experience and accom­panying maturity, it will be possible to ignore their influence.

Chairman of the Trustees, H.C.

He also advises that a survey is under wayin the three hospitals in the area to supply information for the Health Facilities Planning Council, Augusta .

We hear so much about the young who have dropped out of our society and turned off by means of drugs. It is refreshing and encouraging to witness the efforts of young people who have not written off the society of their eWers , who can and do trus t s ome ­one over thirty (Senators McGarthy. and Kennedy), and who will commit their time and efforts to correcting the problems facing their country today. ·How many of our generation can honestly say that at their age we knew a nd understood, much less cared , aboutanyone1s problems except our very own immediate ones . It was not until the advent of the Kennedy brothers on the poll ti-cal scene that young people began to see that each of us counts and that if we each commit our lives to the betterment of the world ·in which we· live, we can make a difference.

One final observation of viewing conventions is that the Amer­ican people are ably served by the press and T.V. reporters. It is our belief that one can best follow the proceedings by st­icking mainly to one channel because sooner or later they will cover everything that happens whereas if you skip around you may just' see the same thing thrtle times. It happened that we followed both conventions on NBC NEWS and were greatly im­pressed with the untiring efforts of the two lead commentators and themehon the floor. These man are sharp political obser­vers of much experience and not much gets by their notice . A word of appreciation also for David Douglas Duncan's comments and still photos of both conventions and also the entertaining en­counters between Gore Vidal and William Buckley on ABC's summar'y coverage each evening.

We now begin the hard business of choosing a P resident. from Transfers: Margaret LeTourneau of Manchester, Conn. ,

to the candidates now running. As we see it, we have a choice of the far right (George Wallace), Little right of center ( Ric b:l.rd Nixon) and a little left of center (Hubert Humphr ey). However , we here in Maine have a chance to help a Maine man achieve the second highest spot in the couPtry for the second time in the

It is to be noted that among other things accomplished, the Democrats managed ·to put the name of a black man in nom­inationforboth topoffices of the land. This is, hopefully, evid ­idenc.e that we WILL overcome.

Another ac t of the convention which will free the voice of the minority was thedisavowelofthe Unit Rule which has long ham­pered the Southern delegations.

Iftherewas one over whelming impression left from watching hours of these two conventions, it was that a cosmopolitan,he ­mogenous , literate· and democratically oriented society sucn as this s hould be able to come up with a more dignified, nat\onally representative means of choosing the candidates for the leader­ship of this land. A national primary would perhaps be the ans-wer.

Whatever happens this year in November, HJ.72 will find a great change in the D.emocratic Party. What we witnessed on television this week was without a doubt th.e last stages of an outmoded machine-bossed m ethod of picking candida~s. It is our belief that in 1972 the faces on the podium will b e those we saw this year on the floor in the California , New York, Wiscon­sin, New Hampshire and Loyal Georgia delegations.

entire history of our country. It will do our state no harm to have a loyal Maine man in so high a spot. Senator Muskiemay not be famous in some parts of the country but we here in Maine have had ample evidence of the quality of the man.

Since the candidates of the two major parties are honorable men of long service to their country, and it is unlil<ely that the country would be destroyed by a four year .term nf either one, we advocate that here in Maine we unite behind the native son who can do the most of give Maine the national prominence she deserves . It would be only fitting that a Maine man of Senator Muskie 's ability be Vice-President during the time of Maine 's Sesqui -centenial observance . Maine can use a little more leverage in Washington right now.

On the whole, we believe in voting for the man and his s tand on the issues rather than for a party as such.

We welcome the comments of our readers in the form of let­ters to the Editor, on this or any other subject of inter est.
