There was a “wait and talk” approach taken. After many months the commander of the ship and his crew were returned to the U. S., received in the na. tional] eye almost as heroes. Now, after a brief time of respectable waiting and of formal inquiry, a different cast is being placed upon the entire incident. The question now is being asked concerning honor, du- ty, obligation, responsibility —and t o whom. Commander Bucher's in- terpretation, apparently, con- cerned only the 80 men who were aboard the ship. He says that he could not suec- cessfully defend the floating intelligence craft. He says that his superiors had not equipped the ship, that they had not provided it with suf. ficient guns, enough equip- ment, sufficient facilities etc. etc., etc. Do you believe that Buch- er’'s duty was to 80 men or to his sworn duty to defend and to fight for his ship as he would against the sanctity of his own home and the lives of his own wife and children? Do you beljeve sacred duty was to defend that portion of the United States which was the Pueb-: lo? Do you feel that an officer of the United States Armed forces has a responsibility far above and beyond the con- fines of the ship? Somewhere the measuring stick of responsibility has been defined as that which is the greatest good for the most people over the longest period of time. As he surveyed the pro- blem aboard the Pueblo, was Commander Bucher capable that his of making that decision? Rather, is it not possible that the tradition of the Navy, the law of the Navy, the oath which he had sworn, was the basis upon which he should have made hijs decis- ion? Is that not why such in- tellectual values are so deep- ly implanted in men who hold responsibility? No commander of men, in danger of death, relishes the idea of sending his soldiers or sajlors to possible harm. Yet, that is the system upon which the defense of our na- tion is based. Some men must make decisions which are greater than themselves, A mar: who has chosen the armed forces as a profession- al career carries an awesome responsibility of delivering, in any situation, the honor and the duty which have been laid down beforehand. There is little of suwprise that mer. were anxious to serve under Bucher. It now sounds as if it was a safer assignment than some others. If all commanders, all men of high duty and responsibil- ity choose to make their de- cisions on the spot with the thought in mind of saving their own skins and those of their men, then this country is in deep deep trouble. If, as it is suggested, the Pueblo carried highly conti- dential and secret informa- tion which fell into the hands of an enemy, then someone likely will pay a big, big price—maybe hundreds, yes, thousands of lives, because one commander thought only of the small-size guns he could man in the face of in- vasion of his contruy’s prop- erty. If Commander Bucher’s duty, honor and supreme re- sponsibility as an officer and as a gentleman meant noth- ing on the decks of the Pueb- lo, then what is next? What do you think? ‘WASHINGTON REPORT Congressman Edwin D. Eshleman 16th District—Pennsylvania Since the opening of the 90th Congress, there has been a good deal of talk a- bout electoral reform. I in- troduced my own version for changing the Presidential selection process a couple of weeks ago. That proposal was based upon rather ex- tensive research, and it of- fers the changes that appear to me to have the best chance of becoming law be- fore the next Presidential election. the re- reform After completing search into electoral my staff assistant, Robert Walker, and I felt that the information we had gather- ed might be of some general interest. We put it together in a magazine article that was published early this too hard, was sitting on the ber:ch with three fouls before the half ended. Charlie Engle battled vailiantly against the big Warriors and even snag- ged himself a bucket in the secend period, But, the five-man first. string combination has been the winning combination this season. Actually, that Donegal did as well on the defencive re- ounding as they did, is a credit to the power of Al Duarte and McCowin. - The former was a demon. Bruce . Sutter, who has a keen basket eye, whammed in 12 points and his buddy at guard, Steve Sload, who is a hotter sniper than indicated, had only seven, Tucker's 4 came early in the game and helped keep the Tribe defin- itely in- the ball game until midway of the second per- od. i So. that's the way it was at Harrisburg! month in ‘The Christian Cen- tury’ magazine. However, I thought that a consideration of points covered in the ar- ticle would aid those of you who follow my newspaper column in understanding the multitude of problems that the Congress faces as it goes about trying to change the electoral - system. Therefore, this column and the one to appear in two weeks will be devoted to the subject of el- ectoral reform. The issue is certainly not a new one for the Congress. As early as 1797 an electoral revision plan was offered in the House of Representatives. Since that time hardly a ses- sion of Congress has passed without the introduction of one or more pieces of legis- lation seeking to change or abolish the electoral college. Yet during those 171 years, this nation’s peculiar fashion of picking its leader has re- mained basically unchanged. Under the electoral college system, the American people do not really choose their chief executive. A small band of 538 independent men and women actually cast the deciding ballots. This system often seems complete- ly inadequate in the modern day, especially when the public's voice can be totally ignored. But, while a wide variety of ideas have been suggested to revise the elect- oral college, each plan has weaknesses as well as areas of strength. Several questions must be asked about each reform pro- posal to determine its rela- tive: merit: Those questions include: Will it make the el- ection process more demo- cratic? Will it. eliminate the uncertainties - row embodied in the “election system? Will THE BULLETIN MOUNT JOY, PA. it add an element of security from possible constitutional crisis arising from electoral deadlocks and the like? Can it survive the difficult and complicated process of be- coming a Constitutional Amendment? Is it a better system than what we now have? My research has indi- cated that none of the re- form plans under considera- tion, including the one I have submitted, can bring a yes response to each of” the above questions. One proposal that seems to have a good deal of popul- ar appeal is called the direct election plan. Such a systeni would have the vote of the people be the only determin- ing factor in the election of a President. The electoral college would be totally ab- olished. Direct election has numer- ous features to recommend it as an adequate reforme measure. It would certainly add a more democratic char- acter to the election of a President. As a matter of fact, it answers all of the basic questions pretty well except one — the most basic or:e. PAGE SEVEN Direct election appears to have little chance of ever becoming an amendment to our Constitution. The thing to be remembered is that three quarters or 38 of the- fifty states must ratify a Constitutional Amendment, ard in this case the small states, in particular, would have a basic reason for op- posing a switch to direct el- ection. The reason is that they would tend to lose con- siderable influence in the whole Presidential selection process. In other words, the few electoral votes given a small state are much more influential than the total vote of its population would be, and a small state is not likely to give up this degree of power. Seventeen states stand to be affected adverse- ly in this manner by a direct election plan, thereby put- ting a probable damper on the chances of such a plan finding acceptance. I shall pick up the diseus- sion at this point in my next column, look at some other reform ideas, ard explain a little about the conclusions that I reached.
