Conceals Small Weapon
Police believed Pass had con-
cealed the small weapon in his
hand. Mundy, regarded as one Of
the fastest drawing policemen on
the Atlanta force, Immediately re-
turned the fire, striking Pass five
times in different parts Of his
body.
Pass ran from the apartment
building but collapsed at the en-
trance. He lived a while but was
later pronounced dead on arrival
at Grady hospital.
Mundy, too, lived until other
policemen swarmed the area in
answer to a help call, but he was
unable to speak when Hooks and
other police officers reached him.
He Also was pronounced dead at
Grady hospital.
Atlanta's first Negro officers
joined the force in 1948: Mundy,
though added in $780, was still
considered as being among the
first of his race to serve the city's
police department. He was highly
regarded by fellow officers.

San Francisco
Charged With

San Francisco, Jan. 30-City
officials are somewhat miffed
about the recent charge hurled
by Frank Quinn, Executive Direc-
tor of the Council for Civil Unity,
that San Francisco housing is
more segregated than ever before.
Quinn singled out the Western
Addition Redevelopment Project
for special criticism. Making his
charge in his annual report, he
stated that, "In the present West
ern Addition project most Of the
5000 non-white dislocatees went
into public housing or the next
oldest neighborhood. Now we
hear proposals to tear down these
blocks. Where will the people 60

Quinn saw the elimination Of
racial discrimination in housing
as the only solution. "a
"Fair housing laws will help,
but they are not enough by them
selves" he said. "Even though
we establish the legal right to
rent or buy a home without dis
elimination, we still must accomp-
lish the fact. We have legacy of
segregation which exists in the

Tuskegee NEEDLES
Discover Cure
For Sore Throat

Tuskegee, Ala, Jan. 30.-Drs. J.
w. Giles and A. L. Brookhardt,
members Of the staff Of the Tus-
kegee Veterans hospital have an
nounced the discovery Of a new
mouthwash solution which is more
effective than penicillin in killing
germs and curing sore throat.
The new product called chic
raseptic promises to give relief
for eight types Of throat ailments
including laryngitis, tonsilitis,
pharyngitis, inflammation Of the
tongue and mouth and smokers
cough.
This decision was reached as a
result Of test conducted since Aug
ust Of last year upon some 200
persons, each reporting that this
solution had given them relief
from throat pain. This product is
now on sale at all drug stores.
The official announcement of
this new mouthwash was first
made in a paper prepared by DR..
Giles and read, in his absence, by
DR.. Brookhardt at the monthly
meeting Of Tuskegee Institutes
John A. Andrew Hospital staff.
DR.. Giles, one Of the researchers
for this new throat gargle, is as.

services for research and educa.

bitter and wasteful competition Of
the cold war;" he said.
To lead America through deep
ening world tension, Kennedy dis
closed he had ordered Defense
Secretary Robert S. Mcnamara
Ito reappraise our entire defense
strategy" He directed Mcnamara
to submit preliminary conclusions
by the end Of February with a
view to quick budgetry, legisla-
tive and executive action.
Kennedy directed three immedi-
ate steps in the defense area. He
ordered a quick build-up of air
lift capacity so Americas conven-
tional military forces could "re-
spond, with discrimination and
speed, to any problem at any spot
on the globe at any moments
notice."
"The present state Of the econ
omy is disturbing" he said. 1--WE
take office in the wake of seven
months Of recession, three and a
half years of slack, seven years
of diminished economic growth,
and nine years of falling farm in
come"
"The most resourceful indus
trialized economy on earth ranks
among the last in economic
growth. Since last spring it has
actually receded. Business invest
ment is in decline. Profits have
fallen below predicted levels. Con-
struction is off. A million unsold
automobiles are in inventory.
Fewer people are working = and
the average work week has shrunk
we'll below 40 hours. Yet, prices
have continued to rise-so that
now too many Americans have less
to spend for items that cost them
more to buy"
Kennedy's approach was unusual
for a new President in that he
accented gravity rather than a
bright tomorrow. He frankly
placed more stock in forecasts of
continued slack economic condi-
tions into 1862 than he did in hope
full prognoses.
He recommended action; quick
action by Congress.
"We cannot afford to waste idle
hours and empty plants while
awaiting the end Of a recession,
he said. eve must show the world
what free economy can do -"
After calling for unified Amer
lean efforts to sharpen military,
economic, political and diplomatic
tools, the President said, wishing
predicting and even asking fer an
easier 1861 would not make it so
He said strenuous effort would be
the only answer.

here Is q Limit

Our severance Of diplomatic rela-
tions with Cuba has come as the inevi-
table and logical result of what Presi-
dent Eisenhower we'll describes as "the
latest Of long series of harassmentS,
baseless accusations and vilif1cation"
from Havana'S terroristic Castro regime.
There is limit, as Mr.. Eisenhower
said, to the indignities which self
respecting nation can take at the hands
OF the madmen who have gained dicta-
torial power in the Caribbean island.
,, The last straw was the sudden and
SenseleSs order by Castro reducing our
embassy staff in Havana to eleven men,
bers-a skeleton force incapable of ham
ding emergency diplomatic problems
in Cuba. The reason given for the
order-that the embassy employees were
"spies"-Was as SpeciouS as all the other
insults hurled at the United States by
Castro and his pro-Communist gang.
Notable among the big lies was the one
which the United Nations Security
Council was to consider in New York
today, namely, that the United States
is about to invade Cuba Castro may
cite our severance of relations as step
toward such military move-but the
council is not apt to be deceived, espe-
cially since half dozen Of Cuba'S Latin
neighborS previously had similarly bro
ken diplomatic ties with the patiently
irresponsible Castro government.
Our main concern now will be the
rapid evacuation of Americans wishing
to return to this country-a problem
which presumably will be worked out in
cooperation with the Swiss mission,
which has been asked to handle our
future relations with Cuba. .......
I. All of these regrettable develop
ments come as climax to Castros cele-
bration of his second anniversary as
revolutionary dictator. He rules today
in country where there is no freedom,
where terror and violence are common
place, where the national economy has
been reduced by his policies and actions
to an insecure dependence on the
pound-of-flesh promises of his Com
n1unist friends abroad, and his own in
famed mind is obsessed with an evil
sort of Don Quixote fitting at the fan
tasy Of Yankee imperialism.
+, 1t has been an increasingly sad and
tragic two years for Cuba, Just as this
is a deeply unhappy day in the history
OF 1nter-American neighborliness.

The most dubious story of the year,
we think, is the one that says John F.
Kennedy will stop playing golf just as
soon as he enters the White House on
January 20. After all, although he has
displayed kind of allergy to being
photographed on the links "a curious
sensitivity that leaves us baffled),
rumor hath it that he shoots fine game
that is said to be a shade or two better
in fact, several strokes better-than
that of President Eisenhower and count
less other Americans, including numer-
Gus friends of ours, who feel quite
proud (even if not understandably so)
Of their respectfully mediocre driving
and putting.

tionally expert at this sort Of thing

altogether wholesome pursuits as SWIM
ming and touch football Surely, when
man is good at neutrality-suspicious.
golf-he ought to keep at it, and we
doubt that he can tire of it, or brush
it aside, just because he suddenly
happens to become President of the
United States. We are willing to bet that
Mr.. Kennedy, despite the news report,
will take to the links after January 20.
Anyhow, we hope so, because some of
our friends tell us that nothing could
be more relaxing even in those moments
when 1t infuriates.

Time to Rotify

{. To Washingtonians, who hope for
early ratification Of the constitutional
amendment granting them the right to
vote for President and Vice President,
this is the month of opportunity. No
less than "a State legislatures are open
ing their doors for business this week.
Next week, an additional IS legislatures
will convene and, shortly after, another
five will meet.
- The campaign, from the Washing
ton end, is off and winging Copies of
the amendment, already have been sent
to the Governors of each of the A
States for transmittal to the legislators.
Within week or so, the District Com
missioners will follow this up with
official requests for action, enclosing
brochures which fully explain the back
ground and purposes Of the simple
amendment. simultaneously, Washing
ton political, business, labor and civic
organizations viii dispatch hundreds Of
the brochures to afflliated groups in the
States, soliciting their support. Without
such concerted efforts as these, the out
look for early ratification by the neces-
sary IS additional States would be dim;
If the hard work is sustained, the pros
poets for success this year will be bright
indeed. .-
Among the numerous legislators
convening today are the senators and
assemblymen Of the Maryland Legisla-
ture at Annapolis. Encouragingly, the
amendment has widespread support in
the Free State, and nothing could be
more fitting than for our neighbor to
the north to become the fourth State
in the country to ratify, and the first
during 1861.

Keeping Lyndon Around

We doubt that the separation of
powers principle has been compromised
by the unusual tribute paid Vice Presi-
dent-elect Lyndon Johnson yesterday
by his Democratic colleagues. If prec-
edent is established in the permission
extended to him as Vice President to
attend or preside over Democratic eau
cuses, when invited by the Majority
Leader to do so, 1t would not appear
to be dangerous one. It could be
thrown out of the window tomorrow,
or when the honeymoon is over, and
perhaps 1t will be. What has been done
was no doubt based merely on a desire
to confer honor on Mr.. Johnson in rec
ognition Of his past performance as
Senate leader. .,
It Is true that as Vice President
Mr.. johnson will be a member of the
executive branch, although presiding
over the Senate and, in certain circum-
stances, entitled to vote in its proceed
ings. While he may preside over or
attend Democratic caucus, he can
neither vote nor take part in its de-
bates. The sentiment which moved a
majority Of his colleagues to extend this
privilege probably expressed nothing
more than sentimental desire to keep
Lyndon around.
AS for Lyndon, he wants to be
around. There are some individuals
who, faced with difference of opinion
among their colleagues as to the propri-
eties involved, might have chosen to
decline the invitation and remove the
source Of conflict. Not Lyndon. The
Senate is his first love. He wants to be
a part Of 1t. He will continue to be a
part of it, energetic, driving, determined
to get things done. Mr.. Nixon was
new sort of Vice President. Mr.. john
son will undoubtedly reveal an even
later model

Two Reasons for One

President-elect Kennedy appears to
have had two good reasons for appoint
ing McGeorge Bundy, 41-year-old Dean
OF Harvard faculty. as special assistant
to reorganize and coordinate the White
House staff structure dealing with ma
tional security affairs.
One reason is the record Of Mr..
Bundy's interest in international affairs
and his competence in the fields Of or
ganization and administration. Nomi-
nally Republican, Mr.. Bundy served
as foreign policy adviser to Republican
presidential candidate Thomas E. Dewey
in 1948 and as a supporter of General
Eisenhower in the 1852 campaign. At
Harvard, he has taught a course on
''The United States in World Politics"
while directing the organization and
work Of the university faculty with a
skill that has been widely commended.
Mr.. Kennedy stated the second rea-
son In this case In rejecting the rather
strange protest against the appointment
by outgoing Democratic Governor Fur
colo Of Massachusetts,. On grounds not
explained, Mr.. Furcolo described Mr..
Bundy as completely unqualified" and
pronounced the selection as completely
incredible" Since 1t was Mr.. Furcolo's
choice not to offer any supporting evi-
dence for his complaint, we are inclined
to accept Mr.. Kennedy's explanation:
Il think the Governors objection is that
Mr.. Bundy opposed him in the 1858
election :. I am not going to be de-
tered from appointing people who may
have opposed somebody else" It would,
indeed, be incredible" If the presiden-
tial privilege of making appointments
were to be foreclosed on any such basis.
