Veterans Day, 1861, a COM
memoration of special signifi.
canoe. Each year Veterans
Day, or Armistice Day as many
Americans still call 1t, has a
different meaning for most of
us. In the period between the
Great Wars 1t was chiefly a day
to remember with horror the
cruel experience of World War
II. During World War III the
mood shifted and it was not so
much q day of memory as a
moment of association between
the servicemen and women of
the forties and those of the pre-
ceeding generation of 1918.
This year on Veterans Day I
think the nation is in a questing
mood. We seek national uni.
ty that will be a bond among
ourselves and a bulwark against
our enemies. This kind of uni.
ty may include, but is not lin.
tied to supporting the President
in the discharge of his respon-
sibility for the safety of the
country nor to approving the
acts of the Congress in provid-
ing for the common defense.
The kind of unity we seek
must be found in the hearts of
all Americans. We must each,
individually, have the courage
to face both the real and the
|illusory dangers of our times.
We must each be individually
responsible for a share of the
moral fibre of America. Out
of this common experience of
millions of Americans in pre-
senting inwardly and outward
ly an expression Of the bravery
and faith that have character
lied America in the past will
come American unity.
On Veterans Day l partici-
pated In the annual ceremony
held In Bethesda in Montgom.
cry County. The thoughts ex.
pressed by the speakers on that
occasion, the representative
units Of the Armed Services who
took part, and the whole solemn
program so well arranged by
Bill Allen confirmed my belief
that the basic unity we seek can
and will be realized by the
American people.
Earlier last week I had con.
tinued my circuit riding in the
Sixth Congressional District.
One OF the most interesting trips
| made was an inspection of the
Gao Canal National Monument
to examine the work now under.
way and the potential for fu.
ture development when the
Beall.Mathias bill becomes law.
There has already been a sub
stantial expenditure of Federal
funds on this national property
and the continuation Of this in.
vestment can only be justified
on the basis of making the
Canal available to more and
more people. Its use cannot be
limited, but must be expanded
so that the wonderful Potomac
River Valley, rich in history, in
scenery, in wildlife and in rec
reational opportunities can be
used by those who live on the
TlVerDank as We'll as by visitors
from the rest of the United
States.
My inspection trip of the
Canal for the 48-mile section be-
tween Paw Paw Tunnel and
Four Locks confirm my opin-
Ion that it is possible and prac-
teal to create great national
park along the Potomac. The
Paw Paw Tunnel and the many

COTTON

NEW YORK, June 10 AP).-cotton
futures moved up smartly this week
on the New York Cotton Exchange,
closing with gains Of 20 cents to las
bale.
Demand came from increased COM
mission house buying and short cover
ing in nearby July because Of mod
crate decreases in the stock Of certi-
ficated cotton. Considerable switching
from one month to another tended to
restrict advances in the nearer posi-
tions at times. although these moves
did bolster more distant months.
Hedge selling and, late in the week,
profit-taking attracted by earlier gains
served to hold down the weeks ad-
vance
Exports in the week ended Tuesday
estimated by the bureau at $4,000
bales compared with $4,000 the previ-
Gus week and $4,000 in the similar
1860 week. Exports for the season
through June 6 were at 6.205,000 bales
VS.. 6,047,000 to the same time year
ago. Exports for the. season totsl
around 6.5 million bales VS. nearly

In nMomentum
Of Recovery
BY JACK LEFLER

0@ee-NNNo
NEW YORK, June 10.-The
economic recovery rolled on
this week and expectations of
more rapid improvement later
in the year mounted.
Gross National Produc
(total of all goods and serv-
ices) may be setting a record
in the current quarter ending
June 80.
Walter w. Heller, chairman
of the Presidents Council of
Economic Advisers, said the
GIMP for the quarter might
reach an annual rate of nearly
$50 billion. 1t was a little
under $500 billion the previous
quarter.
The National Association of
Purchasing Agents reported
that new orders, pre- duction
and employment kept on in
creasing in May.
Producers of machine tools,
construction equipment and
other manufacturing machin-
cry equipment predicted a good
gain in sales by the fourth
quarter. This was despite in
dications that investment for
new plants and equipment is
not speeding up.
The momentum of recovery
has aroused anxiety in the
Kennedy administration that
it will bring a revival of in
flation.
Mr.. Heller said direct price
of wage control is not under
consideration, barring a war
time situation.
