The WEEK

The Area Redevelopment boys have ladled out a grant for an algae conversion plant. Horatio algae, natch.

Well, you’d think at least one responsible Democrat would get up and denounce the well-organized, fanatical, lunatic extremists who seized control of the thirteen-state Young Democrat organization, at a meeting in California last month, and tyrannically forced it to swallow those insane resolutions. You know—extend diplomatic recognition to Castro’s Cuba, sign a non-aggression pact with the Warsaw mob, take our troops out of South Vietnam, abolish HUAC, repeal the Internal Security Act, and all that. If no Democrat will rise to the occasion, it won’t be because it passed unnoticed. Senator Jack Miller (R., Iowa) has begged his Democratic colleagues to draw the line somewhere this side of rampant extremism in the junior party, and Rep. Ed Derwinski (R., Ill.) has put the House Democrats on notice that their party is being menaced by the fanatics. Or are the Democrats waiting for their cue from Rockefeller?
