Libertarians

work to end

oppression

Platform includes

abolishing tariffs

busing, foreign aid

By Pamela Elhett

Mlssouriaa staff writer

Taxation is theft!

The draft ia but slavery!

Censorship most be abolished as

must drug laws, government subsidies,

all gen control laws, antitrust laws,

foreign aM and, of course, tariffs!

Though this may sound Hke the rebels

of 1776 calling for an end to British

Imperialism in the states, these cries

actually are being, beard in Missouri

and across the United States in 1978 by

those Mohave been called the current

young rebels.

At the United States' 200th anni-versary,

a group of Americans again

is calling for the freedom to punfes life,

liberty and property as they choose

not as they say the present government

declares they must choose.

They can themselves the Libertarian

party to empharite the liberty they

seek have adopted " Legalise

Freedom" as their slogan. They

promise to keep George Orwell's threat

of the absolute absence of Individual

liberty in " 1984" from occurring.

To gain the freedom they say

' Americans have lost since

Revolutionary times, the government

must be made to roll back its size and

power, the party's supporters says. As

a matter of fact, Libertarians see the

government's role as being that of a

police force or court system.

By working through the system and

campaigning in Missouri and other

states and in national elections, the

Libertarian party seeks to destroy the

system at least the system that they

say taxes, regulates, controls and runs

people's lives. !

Americans of all interests are tired of

government interference in their lives,

the Libertarian pamphlets profess.

Those who wantfreedom can find It, me

party deans, in the only consisUjnt

Americac party since Revolution days,

the libertarian party.

on one consistent principle of freedom,

m their platform, appear to be bow ett

the left and on the right too a political

scale.

They believe ma free market without

government controls and regulations,

in ending protective legist ffian for big

i And MgnrtfryHfo the repeal of

victimless crime laws such as than

dealing with drags, gambling or mi They believe in hriJatiwiaBsm, in free

trade by doing atfay with tariffs and

import quotas and in an end to cen-sorship

by destroying the Federal

Communication Commission's power.

Unlike the patriots o 200 years ago,

the Libertarians vote for persons!

libertybybeing against bodog, against

the mandatory 8& 4dk& netar ( 5frcBe)

per hour speed limit, against being

forced to wear a helmet to ride' a

motorcycle and against the censorship

of cigarette commercials on television.

Because the party principle is that all

individuals have the right to control

their own fives and live however ( hey

choose so long'as they do not forcibly

interfere with anyone etae, taxation is

seen as the unauthorised taking of an

individual's money.

AH programs and government ac-tions

using tax money, such as public

schools, hospitals and transportation,

foreign aid, welfare and business and

from subsidies therefore are opposed

by Libertarians.

PLO joins U. N. debate despite U. S.

By our wire services

UNITED NATIONS Saying it,

would " open a veritable Pandora's box

of future difficulties," the United States

Monday tried to block participation of

the Palestine Liberation Organisation

.( PLO) In the Security Council's Middle

East debate and failed.

Four hours before the. start of the

meeting, a package containing three

pipe bombs was found beneath a U. N.

Bpmbs were found

very near the Security

Council chamber

library near the scene of the debate.

The bombs were timed to explode 30

minutes before debate was to begin.

Toe package bomb did not cause me

Security Council any difficulty, though,

as it tasocked down the U. S. protest II to

1.

The United States voted against the

proposal; Britain, France and Italy

abstained.

The United States was not able to veto

the measure because of a procedural

rule.

Immediately after the vote, a PLO

representative took the floor and vowed

to continue its " Just struggle" against

Israel by " all legitimate means."

Israel boycotted the session because

of the presence of the PLO, with which

It refuses to deal and declaring mat it

would not negotiate its " own suicide "

" We took up arms and had recourse

to arms in defense of our valid desire to

live in our own land," Farouk Kad- -

' doumi, foreign policy adviser to PLO

leader Yasser Arafat, told the council.

" We struggle for legitimacy and

peace not to seize what does not

belong to us. It is the resolve of our

people to continue our struggle

military and political."

Israel, confident the United States

would veto any move in the council to

give the PLO a seat at the Geneva

peace conference, rebuffed a UJS. effort

to get it to reconsider staying away

from the session.

Israeli ambassador Chaim Herzog

told a meeting organized by major

American Jewish organizations that his

government was ready to negotiate

with its Arab neighbors but not the

PLO.

" We will negotiate only on the basis

of a recognition of Israel's sovenegn

rights," Herzog said. " We will not

negotiate our own suicide."

U. S. ambassador Daniel Moynihan

told the council the United States op-posed

the invitation because the PLO

" refuses to acknowledge the authority

of the council" and Israel's " right to

exist"

Soviet ambassador Jacob Malik

noted that a council majority agreed

Nov. 30 to invite the PLO.

The PLO, umbrella organization for

Palestinian guerrillas, was invited to

participate for the first time in the

council debate even though it is not a

U. N. member, a recognized govern-ment

or a government in exile.

The package bomb was found at 10: 30

ajn. CDT about 3 hours before it

was set to explode by a city elec-trician

routinely checking a subway

maintenance entrance located un-derneath

a ramp leading to the U. N.

library, police said.

A U. N. spokesman said the bomb

package was placed behind a pillar

outside the entrance.

Although the site where the bombs

were found is outside the international

U. S. warns against

a ' Pandora's box of

difficulties'

compound, it is less man 91 meters ( 100

yards) from the Security Council

chamber.

It was not immediately known how

powerful or what type of explosives

were contained in the bombs.

About five hours after the discovery,

a man telephoned the Associated Press

and said the Jewish Armed Resistance

Strike Movement claimed respon-sibility

for the bombs.

U. N. officials said no warning was

received that the bombs had been

planted at the world organization

headquarters. ' Security was unusually tight for the

start of the Security Council's Middle

East debate.

Child abuse policy clarified

School board reinstates 26- ce- nt levy

By Carafe Pickett sad Jim Orso

Mfsssarlsn staff writers

--" 4The Columbia Board of Education

Monday lught reinstated a 26- cen- t

operating tax levy that had been cut in

September by property re- evaluatio- n.

The board also voted to accept a child

abuse policy for Columbia public

schools.

The tax increase raises the operating

levy from $ 3.40 to $ 3.68 per $ 100

assessed valuation. The increase

replaces the same amount cut from the

levy last September and can be added

without voter approval. " This is a

routine restoration," board President

Bay Lewis said.

According to Missouri law, the board

is allowed to restore the highest levy

approved by voters previously if it has

been lowered to meet the requirements

of higher property evaluations.

State law also requires a cut in the

levy when total assessed valuation in a

taxing district increases by 10 per cent

. m a year. The levy must be reduced to

produce substantially the same amount

of taxes estimated to be produced by

the old tax rate before the valuation

increases.

The language of the resolution states

that the increase was proposed . . " for

the purpose of supplementing the

teachers fund and the incidental fund."

School superuitendant Robert Shaw

said, " We realize this isnt the best time

in the world to ask for a tax increase,"

but the board must " keep pace with

increased operations tike beat, light

and water and also with the cost of

living"

The 26 member Citizens Advisory

Commission formed to study school

finances, recommended in December

that the board exercise its option to

reinstate the tax levy. The commission

also has recommended the board ask

voters to raise the levy an additional 44

cents per $ 100 of assessed valuation

making the total increase 70 cents. That

increase would require two- thir- ds voter

approval. The board will meet at 4 pjn.

Jan. 26 to finalize plans for that vote.

The child abuse and neglect policy

introduced by board member Jan Fisch

outlines procedures for teachers to

follow in reporting suspected child

abuse cases. The policy provides that

" any staff member who suspects that a

student has been abused or neglected

shall immediately notify the principal

of the school where the student at-tends."

The principal, along with the

school counselor or nurse, will in-vestigate

reported cases and notify the

Boone County Division of Family

Services

The policy also states that in- servi- ce

training will be provided by the family

service division in cooperation with the

public school system. All school per-sonnel

directly involved with pupils will

be involved in the sessions.

The sessions will show personnel how

toqtvictims of neglect and abuse and

inform them of the state laws on child

abuse. They also will review school

policy on child abuse.

The schools will appoint one member

to at on the community- wid- e Com-mittee

on Child Abuse that oversees

policies and problems connected with

child abuse cases.

hi other action the board:

Repaid a $ li milium loan that it

had been forced to take out in the fall

when the state aid payment was lower

than had been anticipated. It was

repaid because the district received its

January tax payment a little earlier

than expected. Shaw said the dtstrcit

expected to remain m the black

financially for the rest of the year, but

the same problem of a shortage of state

aid in the fall will happen again next

year.

Russell Thompson, assistant

superintendent, reported that the

district has tared 11 new black teachers

this year, as compared to 13 the year

before.

Pot- se- x test: ,

not everyone

high on idea

V

CARBONDALE, I1L ( AP) Some

opponents, including Missouri Sen.

Thomas F. Eagteton, have labeled

them tax- pai- d debauchery. But the

federally financed experiments

testing the effects of marijuana on

human sexual response have the

food and Drug Administration's go- ahea- d.

Andthey could begin within a

week at Southern Illinois University

at Carbondale.

Dr. Harris Rubin will conduct the

studies. " We are prepared to start

almost immediately," he said

Monday. " We are ready to go. We

are ready to start our pilot studies.

We have all of our stimuli, except

the marijuana:"

That will be supplied by the

government.

Rubin said he has been told to

expect, within a week, a response

from the Justice Department to has

application for a required grant of

immunity from prosecution

" Actually," be said, " I was never

really terribly worried."

Eagleton, a Democratic member

of the Senate Appropriations

Committee, spoke against the

project as recently as last Friday.

He said he had written letters to the

attorney general and the director of

the FDA demanding the ex-periments

be dropped and

suggesting their budgets would be

subjected to dose scrutiny for

noncompliance.

He said the experiments are

irrelevant to the nation's drug

BnBaBnaHHBaaaMBaBawBWHaflDaiaHaHnBHnBaaBBia

problem and are appalling.

UJS. Attorney Henry Scbwarz, in

whose jurisdiction the school lies,

also has called for disapproval of the

immunity application.

Rubin, a psychologist who has

conducted similar experiments with

alcohol, last spring obtained a

$ 121,000 grant from the federal

National Institute of Drug Abuse to

administer marijuana to paid male

volunteers and measure their

arousal as they view stag films. Sex

hormone levels also will be

monitored.

All of the test subjects, he said,

will be current marijuana users of

legal age and will be paid $ 10 to $ 20 a

day for their participation.

The FDA, which has no power to

review the worth or morality of the

project is required to certify that

the rights of the participants to

privacy were protected adequately

and that experimental procedures

met professional standards.

Rubin said be received a letter

with that certification Monday.

All that is needed now is the im-munity

from prosecution. " I hope

that won't be too long in coming. We

have been told to expect a response

within a week," Rubin said.

He said he knew of no grounds on

which immunity could be denied. A

Justice Department spokesman

would say only that " If the request

checks out within the law, there is no

reason to expect denial" J
