RALPH J. EDSELL, JR., AND HIS W I F E , MARY, return from a three-day Washington session of fresh-men
GOP congressional candidates. Edsell, who is the Republican candidate in the fifth district to succeed the
retiring Frank J. Becker, conferred with top GOP national and congressional leaders on major issues facing the
nation and attended a full schedule of day and evening "shirt sleeve" sessions on the various aspects of cam-paigning.
Mrs. Edsell attended a series of special briefings for the disstaff side of the campaign. The couple
was accompanied by Edsell's campaign manager, John P. Cleary, of Freeport.
The three-day conference, sponsored by the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee, was ad-dressed
by top Republican leaders, including Senator B arry Goldwater, Congressman William E. Miller, Sena-tor
Thrushton B. Morton, Congressman Charles Halleck, and Congressman Bob Wilson. The conference was
held at the Marriot Twin Bridges Motor Motel in Washington.
Cong. Becker Chides Nickerson
Congressman Frank J. Becker (R.N.Y.) fired back the fol-lowing
reply in response to a telegram received from Eugene
Nickerson, Nassau County Executive urging defeat of Senate
proposal to stay reapportionment:
" R E U R T E L urging defeat of pro-posals
to stay reapportionment
would suggest that you give a little
time to government of Nassau Coim-t
y and stop playing politics. Per-
!iT|styou do not know, but the Con-
^IpRion is the Law of the Land, and
not Supreme Court decisions. The
American pepole have never agreed
to be governed by any nine men, or
permit ihem to make the "Law of
the Land". Only the Congress has
the power to make laws, if you
M'ill read Article 1 of the Constitu-tion.
Might add tliat no county in
the State of New York lias been
l)etter served or whose interests
more protected by their legislators
than Nassau County. Quality, and
not numbers, serves the people bet-ter
by far, and the Nassau County
Senators and Asseinblynu^n have
done an excellent job and I am
proud of them. Heapportionnient
/ \come but should not be forced
\ X'ipitately by any edict of the
Supreme Court in violation of tradi-tion
that has stood for J 7 5 years.
Perhaps if you had concentrated
more on doing a job for the people
of Nassau County instead of ou
politics and publicity and posing for
pictures daily, the people's interest
woidd have beea better served.
Remember when you campaigned
in 1961, you and the Democratic
leader told the people to elect a
Democrat County Executive and
you would work with Democrat Ad-ministration
in Washington and sec-ure
more defense contracts for Nas-sau
Coimty plants and provide more
jobs. What happened to this prom-ise?
Defense contracts instead have
gone to Texas and elsewhere and
defense workers in Nassau are look-ing
for jobs with more and more
being laid off weekly. Your main
interest since 1961 was firing Rep-ublicans
from jobs and providing
more and more jobs for Democrats.
My interests for the past twenty
years have been to serve the peo-ple
of Nassau County and my Coun-try.
Why don't >'ou tr>' it for a
change?"
ERHS Open for New

Rockaway High School will be open

Switch in Compassion
Criticized by Bishop
Bishop Fulton J. Sheen in his
sermon at the 36th Annual Red
Mass sponsored by the New York
Guild of Catholic Lawyers in St.
Patrick's Cathedral deplored the
switch in compassion which favors
" t h e criminal, the bum, the breaker
of the law" rather than the victim
of a crime or iiolice officer.
" W e used to feel sorry for the
one raped, but now it is the rap-ist,"
Bishop Sheen said. He called
upon the legal profession to help
stem "the whittling away of the
true freedom" which is exemplified
by the "new compassion" extended
to "the delinquent, the immoral and
the bum."
(An editorial appearing in this
paper on July 2, 1964 deplored this
condition, also.)
