WASHINGTON,   (JTA)	
Assassination of George Uncoln.Rockwell, 49, last week, founder and leader of the American Nazi Paiiy In nearly Arlington; Va. near- tin Naziheadquarters,ended a career charactrarl^ by idolent anti-Semitism and admfaration for Hitier.

LABOR DAY
Labor Day liolds a uni- «ie place in our national pattern, both as a symbtfl and as a way of life.
tt is tin story of the beginning of summer's end aad tin unfoldtaig of a new season whose rad¬ iance is in other but eqjially intriguing colors. Soon the rains will come and tbe fTost on tbe tree- tops.
Summer is an open sea- tfon, Winn nature and man are' in unsDent dialogue. Htt so autumn and early fall, when strange silences set in every¬ where, in trees, taior- diards, in the woods and finests, on mountain tops and along the valleys sur¬ rounding waterways.
And so it is that Labor Day is not along atale of joy of labor' and accom- tdisbment, but the harbin¬ ger of a new season and witness to the verity of eternal change. Its com¬ ing in a way means an end to play, but above all it is a reminder that la¬ bor hdds tbe key to at- tataitrient.       . •    ' ":'
