edly told the young man re-
placing him, Laos is the
worst problem I am leaving
you"
AS a military man with ex-
perience in mounting inva-
sions, Mr.. Eisenhower knew
the -impossibility of an
effective intervention in Laos.
What is more, both he and
President Kennedy know the
Soviets are equally aware of
this elemental fact. The Rus
slams pushed for the last ad-
vantage, but they never really
believed we would plunge in
with an all-out intervention.
1t could have been done only
with nuclear weapons. Meth
er we nor they are ready for
that monstrous madness.
There were the hard noses
who want to gain face by
moving into Laos with euough
to do the job. Whatever it
takes" they argued, I'VE
must move now"
Admittedly it is CALLING to
watch geography and events
favor the Communists in
Russia, China and Wet Nam.
1t is a testing and a trying
of the American temper and
sense. Hot-heads demanded
we shoot down Russian planes
supplying the Laotian rebels.
One of ours. over rebel ter
ritory, was gunned down.
But, the Army and Air
Force chiefs of staff knew
there were, in all govern

small airstrips. Knocking
them out would be elemental.

Council To Hold
Freedom March
On October IS

Plans and date for a community
Freedom Ride March" was re-
vealed by Obie Ripper, coordinat-
ing chairman Of the project. The
idea was conceived by the Twin
City Council of Clubs in support Of
the Minnesota Freedom Riders.
Six University of Minnesota stu
dents who last spring became part
Of a national Freedom Riders"
movement are now faced with the
possibility of having to serve up to
six months in a Mississippi peni-
tertiary at hard labor" if they
are unable to raise $1,000 appeal
bonds that has been decreed by
Jackson, Miss. courts. This would
result in the students losing at
least one year of their schooling.
Sunday, October 18th has been
set as the date of the March. I"
Patterned after the Fair Housing
March," in which money was SOL
icited for housing legislation,
'Marchers" will assemble and go
from door to door soliciting funds.
Meeting points had not been es-
tablished at press time, but they
will include one in North Mime
apolis on Southside in Minneapolis
and one in st. Paul.
Ripper stated that the Club
Council had issued memorandum
to all 46 affiliated clubs seeking
a minimum of two marchers from
each club. I'VE feel confident,
however, that many clubs will turn
out en- masse," he said. I'VE are
hoping to be able to arouse as
much support for this project as
was shown for Fair Housing"
Matthew Little, President of the
Club Council, said that he felt
the whole state of Minnesota
should rally behind the courageous
students to see that they are not
unduly penalized for their courage.
IF we of the Negro community
will set the pattern, perhaps it
will set an example for the en-
tire Twin City area"
The appeal bonds have been
raised from $500 to $500. Civil
rights leaders view this as an at
tempt to break the back of the
Freedom Ride movement.

The
HIGH
And Low
DOW
BY BAuE THOMAS

There is a drive on for winter
jobs for the Minnesota Twins right
here in Minnesota. Some of the
players will have no trouble get
ting employment because Of the
present favored" color of their
skins.
The tan boys on the team may
face some difficulty. We hope the
old community spirit Of various
employers who have benefited
from the presence of a Big League
team in this area will prevail and
players like Earl Battey, Zoilo Yer
sailles, Hulio Becquer, Ron Henry
and Lenny Green do not have to
leave the Twin Cities to earn a nv.
ing for their families during the
winter.
Any OF our big corporations in
the Twin Cities have jobs which
these players could do. The good
public relations which any firm
including the top concerns would
receive from having one Of the tan
Twins on their winter payroll
would pay off in good goodwill
dividends.
