Americans Should Stay
Away From Cuba
Says State Department

WASHINGTON, R-Americans
should stay away from Cuba I'M
less they have compelling reasons
to go there, advises the State De-
partment.
The statement Friday came on
the heels of another State De-
partment suggestion that wives
and children of American resi-
dents in Cuba-other than those
stationed at the Guantanamo Bay
Naval Base-should be sent back
to this country.
The department said American
tourists had asked whether they
should travel to Cuba now, in
view of Prime Minister Castro's
anti-American campaign and the
advice the department had given
on American dependents.
The Department said, "It is be-
lieved prudent to advise US. citi-
zens to refrain from travel to and
within Cuba unless there are COM
polling reasons for such travel"
1t said some businessmen might
have compelling reasons.
The American Embassy at Ha-
vana said 81 Americans have been
detained by Cuban authorities
since Jan. l, either on no charges
or on charges filed long after
their arrest.

The Goal Is in Sight

The tagging pace Of the United
Givers Fund drive has been attributed
in part to the preoccupation of the pub
lie with developments in the presidential
race. Now that the heated national
campaign is history, however, there is
reason for hope that redoubling of
efforts will close the 100000 gap which
separates the UGF from its $7.2 million
goal. If the business community joins
in the last-stage push with enthusiasm
and determination already shown by the
governmental unit, success will be
assured.
Government workers have set an
over-the-top mark for others to shoot
at, with los per cent of their quota in
hand and some collections still being
made. The slow returns from the busi-
ness firms, however, have pulled the
overall percentage down to 90.33. Cam
paign officials have noted that more
than $4,000 persons or corporations listed
in last years drive have been unreported
as yet in the current canvass. The fate
Of the 1860 campaign thus rests largely
with the missing donors. We hope the
absent contributors will come forward
before the close of the drive on Novem-
ber 81 and clinch the victory that is not
too far away.

Mr.. K. to Mr.. K.

There is an admirable measure Of
reserve in President-elect Kennedy's
properly cordial and appreciative an
swer to Nikita Khrushchev's congratu-
latory message. For the reserve has to
do with highly arguable and sensitive
subject-namely, the Russian Premier's
suggestion that the two of them ought
to get together in an effort to improve
Soviet-American relations in way that
would again follow the line along which
they were developing in Franklin
Roosevelt's time"
This line, according to Mr.. K, would
meet the basic interests not only of the
peoples Of the USSR and the United
States, but Of all mankind, which is
longing for deliverance from the threat
Of new war" And he has gone on to
that there are no insurmountable obsta-
cles to the preservation and consolidia-
tion of peace. For the sake of this goal
we are ready, for our part, to continue
efforts to solve such pressing problem
as disarmament, to settle the German
issue through the earliest conclusion Of
peace treaty, and to reach agreement
on other questions, the solution Of which
could bring about an easing and i'm
provement of the entire international
situation"
Mr.. Kennedy's most appreciative"
and pleased" response to all this con-
slsts of only three sentences. Two Of
these thank Mr.. KhruShchev for his
courtesy" and the third simply asserts
that achievement Of just anG lasting
peace will remain a fundamental goal"
Of the United States and "a mai Or task"
of himself as President. AS for Ileetings
at the summit, including the suggestion
by West German Chancellor Adenauer
that the two Mr.. KS should get together
without delay, the President-elect has
indicated that he intends to make haste
slowly, with a resolve not to rush in
where sensible angels and experienced
diplomats fear to tread.
Is All of which makes good sense, and 1t
Is In keeping with the President-elect'S
campaign promise to 60 to the summit
only If there is some reason to believe
that meeting of minds can be obtained
on either Berlin, outer space or general
disarmament, including nuclear test
Ing" Certainly, unless or until there Is
advance assurance along this line, 1t
would be foolish of Mr.. Kennedy, as he
has plainly intimated, to meet with Mr..
KhruShchev.

Virqinio's S Leaders

AS a conservative, I wish
to congratulate the Virginia
State leaders Howard w.
Smith, William M. Tuck, and
Harry F. Byrd for placing
convictions and love of coun-
try above party. I know that
extreme pressure probably
was exerted upon them to
publicly announce support
Of the Presidential Demo-
cratic ticket.
I watched other Virginia
leaders come out-one by
one-indorsing the Kennedy
johnson ticket-leading con-
servative constituents to sup
port liberalism.
Fortunately we still have
a few men left like Smith,
Tuck and Byrd in Congress,
whose love of country is
greater than desire of politi-
cal position.
My deepest respects are
with them.

Goal for America

The Russians have never
been ones to concentrate on
a hundred major objectives
at once. They saw what hap
pened to Hitler when he
spread his forces too thin.
Look back at the beautiful
strategy the Russians have
used to divide one country at
a time, and then let that
country. continue divided.
After Africa. the next great
Communist step will be the
systematic division of each
country in South America.
This will leave the United
States and Canada isolated.
At this point, the Russians
will call for a global count
and this will be the most cru
cial point in all history, for
they will then say: 1--WE now
outnumber you 10000 to
one!" 1t will be a red letter
day, when all Communists
will be asked to show them
selves to the rest Of the
world. We will be amazed at
how many of our own people
will be among them.
It will then be a matter of
absorbing" those in all coun-
tries but ours. for the hold
outs will have no choice but
to go communistic, or perish.
Then Canada and the
United States will truly be
alone, and the last block to
a totally Communist world.
That is, in essence, the
Russian master plan-a plan
=, Of infinite cunning and pa
tience. i
To overcome this, we must
sell freedom and dignity of
man as we have never sold it
before. We must not only say
that all men are free and
equal, but prove it.
We, too, must begin to
count those who are for us
and those against and re-
gain some of the backbone
we lost when we were fight
ing for our independence. We
need men such as those, to-
day. Back then. the odds
against us were overwhelm-
ing, but we won. Today, the
odds are still great, but it
takes the Spirit of 1776 for
us to again stand. up for
what is right.
Sure it sounds school,
bookish to say such things,
but there is. a crisis calling
for strong men, strong words
and strong actions.
Our forefathers wouldn t,
I'm sure. let a minor bearded
hoodlum push us around and
then recognize that same
hoodlum as a Leader of his
country" .

nonWhlte world, the good
will and friendship for the
United States created by bill
lions in foreign aid and
thousands of man-years of
technical assistance is di-
minished if not destroyed by
racial persecution in the
United States. OF our foreign
aid, n per cent has been
spent on white nations, only
% per cent, including mill
tary assistance, on the non-
white nations, and only 3.8
per cent on all of Latin
America.
In this country the de-
gree of racism and degree Of
mistreatment of nonwhites
varies considerably according
to locality and according to
the race or color of the non-
white; there are degrees Of
difference in our treatment
of black Negroes, mulatto
Negroes, Mexicans, Japanese.
Chinese, Indians. American
Indians, Arabs. etc. But
make no mistake about it:
all nonwhites over the rest
Of the world deeply resent
it and are personally af-
fronted when any nonwhite
in the United States is, be-
cause of his color, hogged or
bombed or denied a vote or
a meal or a job or an educa-
tion or even a burial. Ask
any American who happened
to be in a nonwhite country
at the time some racist in
cident here was reported by
the press and radio there;
an item on page 20 in a
Southern paper will scream
from headlines there, and
be featured on radio news.
White Americans must
stamp out racial persecution
in this country. for their own
sake and for the sake Of the
Nation.

FIuorinoted Water

I am appalled, at the con-
tinued propaganda for fluo-
rination of our water supplies
as per the article in the No
vember 6 Star.
This article stated that the
American Council on Educa-
tion's Commission recon-
mended that the Nation
increase to 81 billion a year
"a 20-fold boost-its annual
outlay for dental schools,
fluorination of water supplies,
care of school children's teeth
and dental research.
I think we should be in
formed as to who the mem
bers of the American Council
on Education and their Com
mission are and their back
grounds.
Must we submit to mass
medication with all its dan
gers and violation Of our
personal rights and the 14th
Amendment to further some
interests who base their cam
paign on the controversial
premise that the result will
be less tooth decay in chill
dren, without harm to con-
sumerS?
Maybe the Federal Govern
ment better step in and take
over our children's tooth
brushing habits, with a tooth
brushing agent for every
home. 1t is true that with
our present tax system and
high prices the poor do not
get a balanced diet" which
provides adequate calcium
and phosphorus needed for
good teeth and health. It is
also true that bad habits of
food and drink and lack of
dental hygiene are respon-
sible, whatever the family
budget may be in many cases.
Cases of serious illness and
even death resulting from the
consumption of fluorinated
water have been reported.
Therefore may I ask why the
following as recommended by
DR.. Granville F. Knight Of
Santa Barbara. Calf. is not
by far the better way?
a.. How much more logical
it would be for those wishing
to use f1uorides to add a
known daily dose of sodium
f1uoride to water by means
of a tablet or drops-on the
prescription of a physician OF
dentist - and how much
cheaper. Statistics cited
to prove a marked reduction
in dental cavities in those
children consuming artif1ci-
ally fluorinated water are
both contradictory and un.
convincing"

The Dealers Speak Up

The retail gasoline dealers OF this
region are to be congratulated for dis
associating themselves from the drive
Of the big oil companies to kill the "tem-
porary" 1-cent increase in Federal gas
taxes which went into effect year ago.
According to Horace Walker, direc-
tor of the Metropolitan Retail Gasoline
Dealers Association, his members have
neither Endorsed nor opposed the tax.
What they do condemn, however, and
in the most fortnight terms, is any
effort to make 1t appear that they sup
port the nationwide campaign now
under way to develop motorist-resist-
ance to the tax.
Such efforts, according to Mr..
Walker, take the form of references to
"Your Gasoline Dealer" on petitions and
billboards which deplore the high level
OF gasoline taxes and exhort motorists
to tlght for their reduction. At con-
ference recently in Durham, N. c., the
retail-dealer organizations from the Dis
trict Maryland, Virginia, Delaware and
North Carolina, demanded that the
pCC1OACuI1l S1OuPo oGOP uoA1A6
the retailers designation in such cam
paigns unless the consent of the re-
tailers is given in advance. They asked
the Federal Trade Commission, in addi-
ton, whether the legal rights Of the
retailers were being violated.
Their complaint, in our judgment,
is entirely reasonable, and we hope the
FTC will give all due consideration to
the request. The oil companies, Of
course, have every right to oppose gas
taxes, and to work for their reduction.
But in direct appeals to the public-and
especially in such complex and contro-
versial subjects as this-it is important
also that the facts be kept straight.
There is no question in our mind,
furthermore, that the interest of the
public in this case will be served best
by an extension of the temporary"
penny-a-gallon gas tax-and very pos
sibly an increase in its acknowledgement

on his legislative programs.
Second, the Democrats have
no really strong candidate to
offer against him. The two
men most talked Of today are
Mayor Wagner Of New. York
and Controller Arthur Levitt.
MIR. Wagner has become an
oldsstory. He may have q diff
ficult time winning re-elec-
ton next year. The Demo-
Gratis have Immediately
turned from united support
Of Senator Kennedy for
President to a bitter battle
for party control. Mr.. Wag-
ner might be given an i'm
portant post in the Kennedy
administration-and seek to
run for Governor from that
vantage point. As for Mr..
Levitt. although he was able
to win his present office in
the face Of the Rockefeller
victory in 1858, he is not con-
sidered a strong candidate
for Governor by top party
leaders.
Blessing For Rockefeller
This row in the Democratic
Party in New York may prove
a real blessing to Gov. Rookie
feller. The reform movement,
headed by former Senator
Lehman and Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt, has determined to
wrest control of the party
leadership from Carmine De-
Sapio, Tammany boss and ma
tional committeeman, in the
coming party primaries.
Democratic State Chairman
Prendergast will back Mr..
DeSapio firmly. There is also
the Liberal Party, whose vote
Of 100000 for Senator Ken
nedy, had a real part in the
Kennedy victory in the State.
The Liberals might put a
gubernatorial candidate in
the field. too. if they are not
satisfied with the Democratic
nominee, making it far easier
for Gov. Rockefeller to win.
The poor showing Of the
Republicans in upstate New
York, despite the hard cam
paigning of Gov. Rockefeller
for the Nixon-Lodge ticket.
has been variously explained:
The Catholic vote in the
larger cities, the increase in
Democratic registration, and
the disgruntlement of upstate
old-line Republicans over the
Rockefeller tax increases,
made after his 1858 victory.
Senator Goldwater has at
tackled both Mr.. Nixon as a
me too" candidate, and Gov.
Rockefeller as a New Dealer.
He went along with the
Nixon-Lodge ticket, 1t is
true, and campaigned hard
for it. He has now given
notice, however, he will do all
he can to bring the party
back to more conservative
ways and more conservative
candidates. His theory has
been a conservative. candi-
date would bring out many
Republican voters who now
do not bother to vote, and
that the country is really
conservative.
The measure of success of
the Kennedy administration,
both in foreign and domestic
affairs-the economic con-
dition of the people-four
years from now will in all
probability strongly affect
the value of a G. o. p. presi-
Dental nomination in 1864.

Leo A. Rover

Leo Rover was known best in Wash
ington for his two tours of duty as
United States Attorney and for his serv-
ice as Chief Judge of the Municipal
Court Of Appeals. This is as it should
be, for 1t was in those capacities that he
fought the good fight for law enforce
ment and impartial administration of
justice.
There was, however, another side to
the man. Born 72 years ago in SWAMI
poodle, a community which few of
today's Washingtonians can remember,
he started out as clerk in his fathers
grocery store. 1t was in those days, no
doubt, that he acquired the interest in
and concern for his fellow men which
were reflected in later years by his
diligence, not only in the law but in
civic and church activities.
AS WaShington's chief Federal pros
ecutor, MIR. Rover was guided by one
dominant concept-fair and impartial
enforcement of the law. His competence
was attested by his successful prosecu-
ton of that arch swindler, CASTOR
Means. His sense Of devotion to duty
became evident when he unsuccessfully
sought the disqualification of Judge
Youngdahl in the Owen baltimore case,
although he realized quite we'll that his
advocacy of the legal principle he be-
lieved to be at stake, involving an able
and upright judge, might be placing his
future career in jeopardy. Through it
all, however, Leo Rover was warm,
generous and compassionate man. He
had an affection for people, and was
well liked and respected in return. Now
that he Is gone, it Is for these qualities
that those who were his friends will
miss him most.

Wasted Billions

The bipartisan Congressional Joint
Economic Committees report on wasted
billions of defense money has not re-
ceived the public attention it deserves, in
view Of preoccupation Of the voters with
the presidential election campaign. How
ever, the findings and recommended
tions Of the groups subcommittee on de-
tense procurement are too important to
be brushed aside. For it is the public
which is paying for this waste and which
Is being deprived Of stronger defenses
which the lost money might have bought.
The waste which the report, jointly
released by Democratic Senator Douglas
of Illinois and Republican Representa-
tive Curtis Of MisSouri,' denounces in
justihably strong language results from
overlapping and duplication of procure
ment and supply functions of the armed
services. This is not new problem, Of
course. AS the committee points out, 1t
has been the subject Of reports by the
two Hoover Commissions, by the General
Accounting ONCE and by several con-
greSsional and other committees. Num-
erous recommendations for consolida-
ton Of defense buying and distribution
services have been made and numerous
promises by defense officials to take
remedial steps have been forthcoming.
But only small progress toward con-
Solidation has been made.
According to the joint report, the
waste Of the taxpayers money continues,
as overlapping and duplication goes on
in many quarters and as competitive
bidding for contracts remains unpopular
with procurement officers. Says the re-
port in section devoted to conclusions
and recommendations:
The billions that have been wasted could
have been used for more adequate national
defense-for missiles. for submarines for the
better supply Of troops with modern weapons
and for such civilian needs as schools, hos
pitals, urban redevelopment roads, conser-
vation and debt or tax reduction. It is shame
that the military bureaucracies are wasting
the precious economic lifeblood Of this
country, and simultaneously stinting both the
military and civilian programs of essential
needs. This is nonpartisan issue Of great
moment.
The Douglas-Curti group stressed
that no additional authority is needed
by the Defense Department to effect the
economies which would come with the
creation of central procurement and
supply system. All that is needed is will
to do the reorganizing and pressure from
higher up to spur action. We hope that
the next President will give special at
tention to the problem of defense waste
and will take whatever steps are neces-
sary to carry out the reforms urged by
so many investigating groups.
