1 1 rv .4 PongUeepjn Journal Sunday, February 2, 1969 it Bert Burns On The Hot Line i 1v.v.v.v.v..v.v,.v:'XMvi' It figures to be a banner year for Wilbur Doovery Little, possibly The year when his long efforts will finally bear fruit Some time ago, Doovery Llttle recognized the fact that, In every community, there Is a hard core of "anti's" whose Immediate reaction to anything new Is negative. They can be recognized by their vociferous presence at public meet logs, their long and usually confusing letters to the editor, antfHheir fondness for half truths and fuzzy logic. 3 While they sometimes gather In small, parochial organizations, they have as yet to be unified Into a potent political force. This is the objective of Wilbur Doovery Ljttle. Last week, In the midst of the leather bound books In his study, Doovery Llttle fingered Ms pince nez and bounced happily on the cushion of his big yes, he laughed.

could be the year. Yes, yes, yes!" The basis for His optimism, he explained, is the fact that the 20th Century Is fast closing in on Dutchess County. Faced as it Is with a future of unprecedented growth, Its shoulders are pjnned to the ground by the necessities of change. The result has a deluge of plans for many millions of dollars worth of such things as arterial highways, new sewerage systems, community college expansion, a new courthouse and so on. Conditions are fertile for partisans of the "anti" philosophy.

Doovery Llttle is so encouraged, in fact, that he Is preparing incorporation papers for his new political group. It is to be known as the "Simple Total Opposition "STOP," for short. "More and more people," said he, "are recognizing that progress is a delusion. We've had progress since the beginning of the world, and what has it got usT A mess, mess, mess!" Warming to his subject, he continued, "It's time we put an end to progress and return to the old values. It would be much cheaper." Despite what had the ring of an ultra conservative point of view, Doovery Llttle argued that he and his followers are not total reactionaries.

He gave an example. "While we do favor one room schoolhouses," said he, "we definitely support Inside plumbing." County Executive Dave Schoentag was understandably satisfied after attending an informational meeting last week at the Red Oaks Mill fire hall. After subjecting himself to questions on spending and such, he was treated so mildly that it prompted Rep. Earl Bruno to remark enviously, ''Gee, they didn't try to shoot you down at The following Item was spotted In "Women's Wear Dally," the newspaper of New York City's clothing industry: "Three of the distinguished G.O.P. newcomers who have all the ladies flipping are Massachusetts Gov.

Francis Sargent, Oregon's Sen. Robert Packwood, and New York's new congressman, Hamilton Fish." It obviously takes a while for the passions of political campaigns to cool. One of those who received an Invitation to the $10ka plate dinner for Ham Fish last weekwai Glenn Van Bramer, campaign manager for Democrat John Dyson in the last campaign. Needless to say, Van Bramer discovered he had made other commitments. Ray Tyson, publicity scribe for Joe Resnlck, then Gordon Llddy end then Ham Fish, has forsaken politics for the financial world.

He' now on the staff of the magazine. "Financial in New York City. There was a full fledged mystery around County Office Building last week. It seems that the memory discs in the Data Processing Unit's electronic computers, fed with information the night before, turned up wiped clean in the morning. Suspicious Amateur investigators were eyeing, of all things, the Poughkeepsie Police Department's radio transmitter atop the Courthouse.

Another mystery was cleared up. The plaque honoring the County Charter Commission was back on the wall on the sixth floor of the County Office Building.lt disappeared last June. Board Clerk Eltuig Burger explained that it had to.be sent back to the maker three times to correct glaring errors. Missed around the Courthouse these, days Is the sunshine personality of Mrs. Naomi Bradford who makes a trip in the elevator a pleasant sojourn.

She's suffering from a recurrent leg ailment. Mr. and Mrs. Ken Toole (he's associate planner in the County Planning Department) are the parents of a new daughter. Planning Commissioner Henry H.

J. Helssehbuttel points the event as one of the department's contributions jo (he validity of predictions on the county's future growth. On the, subject of planning, one citizen was observed last Thursday morning doing ever so well on the jce coated sidewalks. He was wearing golf shoes. Historic note from the First Friday Club of Poughkeepsie: It has changed its meeting day to Friday flora Thursday.

Finally, members of the LaGrange School PTA have something to look forward to at their meeting this week. The meeting announcement says refreshments will be donated by the "first grades" like Jelly beans, popcorn, and peanut butter and jelly "samlches."

The Half Vote Whalen, who described him self proudly as the "half Vote of the two and one half Votes McGovern got from New York itate was also a delegate, tie believes there are people in the county who want to "get involved and help in the rebuilding of the Democratic party but don't know how to get into it and are waiting to be asked." Mrs. Luther who was chair man of the minority group of delegates from Minnesota as a fervent Eugene McCarthy supporter said that "1908 has made me older, wiser and more skep tical."

PETER S. BROOKS Newburgh Soldier Asks Army Release COLUMBIA, (AP) U.S. District Judge Robert W. Hemp hill is considering a petition of Pvt. Peter S.

Brooks of New burgh, N. who has appealed for a discharge from the Army as a conscientious objector. Judge Hemphill heard Brooks' habeas corpus petition in feder al coilrt here Wednesday after the Army and the Defense De partment had denied the Ft. Jackson based soldier such clas sification. While Hemphill ponders the case, attorneys for the govern ment and for Brooks are com piling briefs which they will present at a later hearing.

Assistant U5. Attorney Wil star D. Stuckey said that Brooks' background indicated no religious training or partici pation in events a religious nauire. I I He contended the Army's de cision was correct and final and that the civilian court has nc jurisdiction in the matter. However Leonard B.

Boudln chief counsel for Brooks, argued mat tne soldiers' objection to participation in all wars is based on deep moral conviction and that this does not come about religious convic tion. Both a Ft. Jackson chaplain and a personnel officer reported they found Brooks' moral objec tions to war sincere, The chaplain recommended thatBrooks, a graduate of New York University and Columbia University, better serve his country in another capacity. The personnel officer recom mended Brooks for non combatantcombatant military duty. However Brooks has objected, saying he wisnes a complete discharge.

January was 11 per cent war mer than the opening month of 1968 andthe season to date, Sept. 1, 1968, to Feb. 1, is five per cent warmer than the cor responding period a year ago. The statistics 'are not surpris ing to those 'persons who remember the surge of bitter cold which stung the area early in 1968. Here were the official lows at the County Airport's weather service station: Jan.

1, minus 15; Jan. 2, minus 13, Jan. 8, minus 7, Jan. 9, minus 17; Jan. 0, minus 16; Jan.

11, minus 18; Jan. 12, minus 20; Jan. 13; minus 19. There was nothing like that last month. The lowest tempera ture was a 3 above Jan, 6 and 15.

me statistics are based on "degrees days," determined by taking the average outdoor tern perature for a 24 hour day and suDtracung the figure from a oase ot 65. Thus, according to Donald Love, secretary of the Dutchess County Fuel Dealers' Associa tion, there were 1.290 DDs last month, compared with 1,451 In January a year ago, or 161 fewer. Since Sept. 1, there have been 3,687 DDs, 213 fewer than the 3,900 recorded from Sept. 1, 1967, to Feb.

1, 1968. Love said that in checking figures lor the last dozen or so years, January was about average. and so is the heating season to this point The average full season de gree day total is about 6,500, meaning there are some 2,800 DDs to go.
