We might as well save the
taxpayers money and close
our security and intelligence
agencies.
I for one think 1t is q
shame to invite to our coun-

the Berlin air life and
blasted the Voice Of America.

I have put my United
States flag at half mast-to
mark the death in so many
souls Of the God-given de-
votion to freedom.
Recently, Congress by joint
resolution declared a week
of prayer for the captive
nations, and their captive
peoples serving under the
harsh despotism Of Soviet
communism, and called on
the President of the United
States to issue the appropri-
ate proclamation to place the
resolution into effect.
Now we have issued a cor
dial invitation to the living
perpetrator of the evils i'm
posed on these captive people,
as well as of the evils in
fiicted on his own people by
him and his regime. Our
peoplesare asked to extend a
warm reception to this ex-
ponent of all evils, this
blasphemer against the Holy
Spirit and against all the
things that we feel the Holy
Spirit stands for. The visitor
that is to be glad handed is
the closest approximation
possible to the devil with
whom Jesus Christ refused
to deal or compromise.
Benjamin Franklin said:
"They that can give UP es-
sential liberty to obtain a
little temporary safety de-
serve neither liberty nor
safety"
When the Butcher of Buda-
pest makes his departure, I
shall masthead my flag

President Eisenhower is be-
ing widely quoted in the
British press as desiring to
go to Russia to "see and
meet the people"
This loyal American citi-
zen suggests that since our
President appears to be so
anxious to meet the slave cit
liens of Khrushchev land he
might first visit thousands Of
humble Americans who live
in cold-water fats and other
types of substandard and
often rat-infested dwellings
throughout New York City
and in the slum areas of
leading American cities from
coast to coast!.
Instead of a jet ride to
Soviet Russia, Gen. Eisen-
hover might prof1tably take
q bus ride around America
and meet the folks right in
the U. S. A.!

London, England.
Hardly a day goes by that
some abuse. some threat, some
actual warlike activity is not
perpetrated by the commu-
nistic world. The record is
found in the very newspapers
which are supporting the
visit. Is it logical, or even de-
cent and manly, to invite the
leader of this underworld
among nations to visit the
United States. to be received
as an honorable guest by the
President. to be feted and
dined? You know the answer
to that one.
We agree that the Iron Cur
tain can be lowered by visits
to our shores by the people Of
Russia, that some of oul
people might visit Russia ii
only to be convinced that they
are q backward nation in some
respects. Some cultural ex-
change could be beneficial
The lavish praise Of every.
thing Russian that comes here
is hardly in good taste. 1r
fact, it is an insult to Ameri-
can cultural activities. What
they are applauding is some
thing new and different which
is ever interesting. Every
thing Russian is not as gooc
as its dancers!
There was nothing accom-.
plished at the Big Four meet
ing. Nothing can be accom-
plished by the Big Two.
