Dear Editor:
Your Thursday, July 18,
1963, edition contained an ar
ticle on the front page, head
lined “Rader Says Legal
Rights Violated.”
I can well appreciate the
difficulty involved in reporting
unrehearsed radio and tele
vision panel discussions. This
is particularly true when the
problems are as difficult and
complex as those related to the
Borough government.
On the television show, you
reported, very strong views
were expressed to the effect
that legal rights of persons had
been violated. However, this
expression was not by me. nor
did I concur in it. I believe
that the sum and substance of
my remarks were to the effect
that I did not know whether
or not legal rights had been
violated, and that, if they had
been violated, those who were
aggrieved could present their
case to the court for determin
ation. I expressed the hope that
rights had not been violated;
and that the court action would
be unsuccessful, because, I
stated, that I much desired, as
a matter of policy, to see the
people vote as to whether or
not they want the Captain

Cook Borough, as amended by
the boundary commission. I,
personally, favor this large
size borough.
In the long view of govern-,
ment. I think that the public
will be far better served with I
a larger borough than with the I
smaller, and I, frankly, think !
that such a borough would be
to the mutual advantage of the
| many different communities,
groups and areas which would
become a part of it.
Sincerely,
JOHN L. RADER*
Editor’s Note: The Frontiers- i
man has mailed a letter to Mr. ;
Rader, pointing out the por- j
tions of the program on which I
the July 18 story was based.
Our contention is that Mr. Ra-1
der was quoted accurately. A |
tape recording of the program '
is available for reference.
