June 10, 1980 the stars and stripes Page it it takes a sense of humor of work on Capitol Hill by Patrick Washington up capital humor past present imperfect. Why does senator Kennedy carry a tur key around with him when he campaigns spare parts. Like most Washington jokes the Liim is usually replaceable. Look for Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan to be the tur key Carrier this fall. Asked one frustrated congressional aide this Spring what is the difference Between Congress and a kindergarten a Kinder Garten has adult supervision. Until the polls started improving the Carter White House was not particularly noted for its sense of humor. But press Secretary Jody Powell was credited with telling this one to the White House correspondents association dinner this Yean i walked into the Oval office. I did t pussyfoot around i did t mince words. I looked at the Leader of the free world straight in those steely Blue eyes and i said Rosalynn make Jimmy do it " the president is sometimes self effacing in his humor. Lost week. Carter talked of the primary Campaign and How All the Republican candidates got their minute on television to talk about him. Sen. Robert Dole got his minute George Bush got his minute Ron Ald Reagan got his minute As did the others All to make critical comments. Then i got my minute to talk about the rate of inflation Carter said. Events sometimes take the humor out of Washington officials. Alfred Kahn had the reputation of being one of the capital s Best humorists when he was the chairman of he civil aeronautics Board merrily deregulating the air lines. But since he began waging an Uphill Battle As the presi Dent s chief inflation fighter Kahn does t have much to joke about. If All the economists were Laid end to end Kahn now says they would All Point in a different but he occasionally still comes through. Mixed emotion Kahn said during a re cent speech is what a very religious Mother feels when her daughter comes Home from a Date with a Gideon Many presidents have been the Butu of capital humor. One statement heard Dur ing the second term of Dwight Eisenhower was this never would have happened if Ike were still Henry Kissinger is credited with lower ing the window of his european train car As it pulled into the romanian Alps station and asking Pardon me boy is this the Transylvania station even g. Gordon Liddy the Strong willed watergate Felon has displayed a late Blooming humor.

Gordon Liddy the tape begins then says the occupant is not at Home. Please leave a message when you hear the tone. Or i la break your rep. Morris Udall d-ariz., is one of the capital s most sought after masters of ceremony and he has a repertoire of stories that can be changed to meet the occasion. All purpose quote on issues some of my friends Are for it and some of my friends Are against it. And i m going to stick by my All purpose War statement updated from Vietnam we might consider turning the War on inflation Over to the Post office. They might not Stop it but at least they could slow it letters to the editor friends of ., or slaves of Russ this is to Correct the a idly Belic cd fal Lacy implied in a recent letter that the struggle Between the United slates and the soviet Union is essentially an ideological one. That is russian propaganda and the popularity of that belief is a tribute to the effectiveness of their propaganda machine. The Union of soviet socialist republics which name As the russian dissidents say contains four lies is in fact a russian Empire. It is run by members of the russian nation its military leaders arc All russians and so on. The other nations which have been annexed Latvia Lithuania the Ukraine Etc arc essentially Vassal states of the Empire. The satellite Stales arc buffers which serve to isolate Russia from the conflicts it Gener ates at the Periphery of its influence . Afghanistan. This russian Empire has All the aspects of any Empire in history including a ration ale to justify its aggression and tyranny. Empires of old were ruled by divine right but the russian imperialists justify their reign with communism to which no More than lip service is paid. They supposedly have the right to brutalize nation after nation because they support the Proletario in fact of course they exploit the masses More than any free nation could. Communism is preached simply As a substitute for religion to pacify intellectuals like Gore i Dat and dupe fools like Jane Fonda. The reason Tito was important is that although a dictator he freed Yugoslavia from domination by the russian Empire and therefore halted russian expansion in that area. Communism has nothing to do where is heaven i think the following Story will hit Home with Many of us overseas and May even put a smile on a few faces tucking my 3w-Ycar-old son in bed one night he began asking questions about Hea Ven. I told him that heaven has All kinds of cute Little animals dogs cats lambs Deer and Trees with All kinds of fruits. In heaven you can have anything you want. He asked Why Jesus died and if he can Sec us now. I told him Jesus died for us and went to heaven to be with his daddy god. He watches us All the time just like great grandma and grandpa Are watching us now and seeing if we re Good. Heaven is a great place to go to. He Lay there All tucked in his brow in a Little wrinkle trying to figure it All out. His concluding question Mommy. Is heaven in the states Jean a. Hildebrandt Parma sons Germany with it. It is merely the excuse the russian imperialists give for their expansion. If that were not so China another nation intent on expansion would not be on the Brink of War with the russians. The fact is that we Are not witnessing an ideological struggle but a political one. Marx himself admitted that. The dictators of the russian Empire have clearly stated their goal of world domination. Their Mili tary build up and constant aggression throughout the world prove they Are in this area at least Good As their word. Nations have a Choice regardless of the name by which their government goes of being friends of the United states or slaves of the russians. The future of the world depends on How these two sides line up. We cannot afford to turn Down any support merely because we have fallen victim to russian propaganda. Capt. Frank d.
