Ribicoff Urges Parents to Get Tough with Children Absorbing Crime on TV

WASHINGTON LR - Secretary of Welfare Abraham Ribicoff called on parents to get tough to prevent children from absorb ing a diet of crime and violence on teleVision.
 Parents must learn to get tough with themselves and their children, as well as with the tele- vision industry" Ribicoff told a Senate subcommittee.
 He also said "the television in- dustry must fulfill it's obligations to it's viewers by providing bet ter programs. He urged intensive research into the impact of TV programs on the nations youth.
 The subcommittee is trying to determine what, if any, relation ship exists between crime and vio- lence depicted on TV and rising rates of juvenile delinquency.
 Ribicoff said long-term re- search into this problem should be financed from both public and private funds.

Kennedy Wins Solid Support from Britain

LONDON R - President Ken nedy's stand against Communist advances won solid support Thurs day among Americas allies. British newspapers on both right and left praised his Tuesday night speech.
 The President spoke too late to make the editorial columns of much of the European Press earlier.
 "President Kennedy said the Laborite Daily Herald, "has made it clear as words and precaution- ary deeds can make it, that there will be no surrender to Russian threats or to Russian force over Berlin
 The Conservative Daily Mail said the situation recalled the mounting tension before 1889.
 "Others have made the danger ous mistake of assuming that the West was far too soft to defend freedom" said the Mail. Hitler made that same mistake" :"
 The Guardian called Kennedy's broadcast firm but unprovocative.
 Il Messaggero, one of Italy's most pected independent dailies, said Kennedy's speech twas precise and without equivo- cation"
 Communist reaction continued bitter.
 Kennedy's call to step up U. s. military preparedness was a boon to American arms manufacturers, the Soviet news agency Tass said.  The Persian Gulf is the world S hottest sea with a water tempera- ture of 96 degrees.

EDITORIAL
WE STILL SUPPORT THE NOMINEE

WE DILL SUPSORI HE NOMINEE ~
HWOULD SEEN a paradox that the people of the Viz
gin Islands would support, and actually want, the nomination
of Ralph ~Paiewonsky as Governor. The paradox is that a sup
posedly very poor class of people, on the whole, 90 per cent
colored, would go out and support a white man, credited
with being one Of the wealthiest in the Islands,
CONTRARY TO Latin America, this picture is not the
same here. True, there is need to improve the lot of the low
income family, which is the vast majority, True, wealth is
concentrated in the hands of a few; that very many are in the
low-income class. Yet, there is a difference.
FORTUNATELY, THERE is universal suffrage here, and
sitting in the same legislature would be a son of a poor family
right along with the son of one of the w~ealthiest families. 1t is
this type Of situation which made possible a non-discrimina-
ton law on the books of this place.
ANOTHER FACTO is the improvement in education,
which is the foundation of what is known as the middle class.
AS time passes and conditions improve, this class will lind it
self amply supplied with the thinking, curious, inqustive
type of person. This will be the class which will abound in
professionals and the like, and bring the type of balance
which removes the gap.
AS H ECONOMIC situation develops, including deve-
lopment of industry and greater income, the standards OF hv-
ing will improve to the point where the scouge OF peasant
living will have been erased. This fact is recognized by the
nominee, at least to the point where he gives expression to
it.
Mr.. PAIEWONSKY is one of the wealth
lest men in these parts, yet he is progressive, understanding,
aware Of the situation, and realizes that only as business pro-
presses will the entire picture become sound and permanent.
His own welfare, his own future, and that of his own family,
is tied up 50 closely with the progress Of the place that ne
would be foolish not to want to see growth and prosperity.
TITS THIS opinion Of the man which causes support for
his nomination..

the Budget. | was Cashier
and then President of the
West Indies Bank and Trust
Company from 1854 to
1858. My family and /, as
did our forbears for a gen.
Grafton, are proud to call
the Virgin Islands our
home. 1t is to our interest,
therefore, that the islands
should continue to make
substantial improvements
physically, economically,
socially. It is to our inter-
est, also, that the islands
should become self-support-
ing. We are well on the way
to that goal.
/ am here, Gentlemen, to
support the Presidents no
mination Of Mr.. Ralph Pals
wonsky to be our Governor.
Virgin islanders are proud
and pleased that the Presi-
dent at this time of world
stress and strains has seen
fit to nominate a Virgin Is
lander to be our new Gov

strate to the world that the

have been fortunate to have
as their Governor during
the past 2R years, another Virgin
Islander, Governor John D. Mer-
win, who has proved to be a most
effective and able chief executive.
/ have known Mr.. Paiewonsky
all my life. / need hardly say, be-
cause it is so well known, that he
comes of a family prominent in
the business and social life of the
communities of the islands. The
PaieWonsky family over the years
have made substantial contribu-
tons to the development of the
islands. In making their contri-
buttons to the welfare and adj
vancement of the islands, the
Paiewonsky families have never
forgotten their responsibility to
all segments of community life.
They are respected and beloved
by people in all walks of life in
the islands. Ralph Paiewonsky
himself is an able and dynamic
businessman a n d community
leader. He has been a member of
the islands legislature for many
years and has participated in the
planning of many public improve
ments of a substantial nature. He
commands the respect and the
esteem as well as the confidence
of a great majority of the islands
people. When Mr.. PaieWonsky
speaks on island matters he
speaks with knowledge and I'M
derstanding, born of long expert
ence and deep thought and study.
His views are widely respected in
the islands.
He is thoroughly and complete
ly acquainted by intimate day-to-
day association, with all the prob
lens which the territories faces
and must overcome in their strug-
gle for self-support and self-deter-
mination. Under his leadership we
may expect the progress of the
islands to continue without inter
ruption. There will be no period
of hating, no hesitant and uncer-
tain steps, no hold up of our pro-
grams. On t h e contrary, the
islands will be faced with a Wig
orous administration guided by
steady and capable hands.
President Kennedy's nomina-
ton of Ralph Paiewonsky has met
with universal acclaim in the is
lands. / unhesitatingly say that if
the selection of a new Governor
had been by election rather than
by appointment, Mr.. Paiewonsky
would have been the choice of the
majority of Virgin Islanders. Mr..

official, and a native of the islands,

CIimatoIogiists
Puzzle Over
Fluctuations

ROME. Oct. 4 (AP).-The
earth has been getting gradual
ly warmer since 1900, but now
wide reaches from Soviet ST.
IBERIA to Greenland are getting
colder. The climate experts
don't know why.
Meteorologists and climatol-
ogists here for the world
meteorological organization
meeting say the pattern is so
notified they cannot tell even if
a trend to warmer or cooler
climate has set in.
DR.. J. Murray Mitchell, jr.,
climatologist with the United
States Weather Bureau in
Washington, said the United
States still is warming up along
with Central Europe and the
Pacific coast of Asia.
Other Changes Noted
Some places are getting
colder - the Kurile (Kam-
chatka) peninsula of Russia
and parts of Canada, Green
land and Alaska" he told re-
porters. But it's too early yet
to tell if a trend in that direc-
ton has started"
| DR.. Mitchell and two British
colleagues discussed with re-
porters yesterday what came
up at the first technical session
of the six-day gathering.
r. G. Veryard. climatologist
with the British Meteorological
Service, said the warming trend
since 1900 was greatest around
the Arctic.
Mr.. Veryard said barley now
grows much farther north in
Iceland and Canada; Soviet
Arctic ports once blocked by,
ice half the year are now closed
only three months annually;
and Goldfish have emigrated to
Greenland, where they were
almost unknown before 1890.
Cod Leave FarOes
H. H. Lamb Of the British
service said the North Atlantic
showed greater changes than
the rest Of the world. Mr.. Lamb
said the western side of the
Atlantic Ocean seemed to have
warmed up more than the east
ern side.
Cod have almost disappeared
from around theFaroe Islands,
a few hundred miles off Nor
way. he said. 1t takes a change
of 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit to
start them moving.
I'VE don't know why all this
is happening" Mr.. Veryard
said.

Loyal Forces Crush Algerian 4-Day Army Revolt

ALGIERS LP - Forces loyal to President Charles De Gaulle crushed the four-day army revolt today with hardly a shot. The man who led the insurrection, Gen. Maurice Challe, surrendered to face trial and possibly a death sentence.
 Three other retired generals who joined in leading the mutiny - Raoul Salan, Edmond Jouhad and Andre Teller - were not accounted for.
 The French Ministry of h. formation said Challe will be brought to trial on charges of or ganizing an insurrection and usurping power. Similar charges have been placed against the three other generals and three colonels.
 The government has not dis closed whether Challe will be tried as a soldier or as a civilian. On that issue could depend whether he faces a firing squad or the guillotine.
 The uprising ended with the bewildering bruptn n s with which it began Saturday.
 Thousands of Europeans gather ed in the center of Algiers as ru- mors swept the city that loyal soldiers were preparing an attack
 But the mutinous general: could give little encouragement to the French settlers, who hac hoped De Gaulle's plan of self. determination for Algeria was doomed by the insurrection.
 The fleeing generals left be- hind them despairing and be- wildered French settlers of the North African metropolis who had supported their effort to over throw De Gaulle and keep AL geria forever French.

TShombe Arrested After Walking Out on Conference

COQUILHATVILLE, The Con- go lR = President Noise Tshom- be of Katanga was arrested here Tuesday by soldiers of the Congo lese central government as he was on his way to his plane to leave COquilhatville for home.
 Tshombe had walked out on a conference of anti-Communist leaders in this capital of Equator Province, charging President Jo- seph KasaVubu of the central government had sold out to the United Nations.
 The conference that Tshombe left was a meeting of all Congo factions except that headed by Antoine Gizenga.
 Tshombe's chief complaint was an agreement Kasavubu reached with the U. N. command calling for immediate withdrawal from the Congo of all foreign advisers not under the central govern ment's authority.
 Belgian advisers are prominent in Katanga's government.
 Last month Tshombe and the Congo's tn CT anti-Communist leaders agreed in principle to a confederation of Congolese states. But Tshombe's walkout appeared to doom such a confederation.
