Inteqrotion

Our young Attorney Cen
eral may have done the con-
servative movement more of
a service than was at first
apparent in the way in which
he entered the Prince Edward
school suit. Perhaps now
many slumbering Americans
may assume some Of the di-
mensionS of this new order
that the liberals are prepar-
ing for us. That is, If they
can be pulled away from their
power mowers, martins and
chrome monsters long enough
to consider anything at all.
If, in addition to possess
ing the power to amend the
Constitution and statutes by
Interpretation and the power
to create law out of the vague
ambiguous phrases in the
Fourteenth Amendment, the
Supreme Court can also gar
ner the power to tell the
legislatures what to legislate,
then the doctrine Of Sepa-
ration of powers and in fact
most of the Constitution will
have been interpreted out Of
existence. At that juncture
we shall have completed the
transition from a Govern
ment of laws to one of per-
SonalitieS.
The really disturbing thing
about this is that this de-
velopment has been the fore
runner of every totalitarian
movement in the history of
the world, and ironically our
legal system, especially our
Federal. legal system, was set
up in the first place to pre-
clude forever such an even
tuality. And when it is done

Travel Indiqnity

l nave just returned from
a trip around the world where
one of the stops was Bombay,
India. with a supposedly
direct flight to Rome.
After departure, the cap
tain of the airlines announced
that there would be a one
hour stop in Dhahran. Saudi
Arabia, and the stewardess
proceeded to collect our pass
ports, as she informed me
that the officials in Saudi
Arabia insisted on check
ing every passport passing
through.
I jokingly mentioned that
they might not return my
passport because I was Jew
ish. The Stewardess turned
white. She asked did the
airline officials know this .
and she got so panicky that
I assured her that 1 was born
in Washington, D. c., and
served in the Women's Army
Corps. and there was nothing
in my passport to indicate
that I was Jewish.
I will not mention the name
Of the airline as the crew
acted in my behalf; however.
they were so frightened. that
after a conference, they de-
cided not to hand my pass
port in at all, for fear that
the plane would be detained
and cause some embarraSs-
ment to me.
l remained on the plane
during the time it stopped in
Dhahran, but could not help
but be repulsed' by the fact
that the personnel Of an
American airline and an
American citizen are sub
jected to such indignities by
the Arab countries.
I certainly hope that the
Department Of State will take
early and effective action to
discourage such degrading
practices against American
citizens.

Equality for All

How often l have picked
up the daily newspapers and
read about incidents of dis
courtesy and diSrespect in
volving African diplomats
either assigned to or touring
this country-of Unfair and
unjust policies regarding
housing where they are con-
cerned.
African diplomats, how
ever. are constantly being
reaSsured that, insofar as
possible. such embarrassing
situations will not happen
in the future.
1t has been publicly stated
that such incidents do not
help our foreign policy, par
ticularly in Africa. At best
they can only aid Commu-
mist propaganda.
Wouldn't the most prac-
ticable solution to the prob
lem be to rid our country
of these malignant practices
that have existed for so long
and continue to exist?
There would then be no
need for the "Dr. Jekyll and
Mr.. Hyde" routine - the
good side" for African
diplomats, and the mot so
go0d"-the despicable side
for those who have resided
here far too long to be re-
garded as Africans, who are
natural citizens (though in
voluntarily secon d-class),
who have helped America to
become the great Nation that
she is. who have long since
turned both cheeks, and who
have fought to preserve her

issue. Thus, you try to show
that big Federal spending
during that period was in
effective in taking up the
economic slack and isn't USE
full now.
Using your own argument,
and the correct statistics in
an untwisted manner, l can
now show the opposite view.
My reference is Survey of
Labor Statistics" by F. Peter
son, 1947, p. 139. The per cent
unemployment from 1884 to
1910 is as follows: 21.6, 1919,
16.5. 1873. 1877, 16.5, 1879.
Thus. from 1884 to 1895, un-
employment decreased 1870.
From 1884 to 1910, unem-
ployment decreased 35.6%.
In this manner, I have
shown that big Federal
spending may have been a
very important economic
pump primer during the
New Deal period, and may
be quite useful now.

The statement prepared by
the college professors insists
that the struggle against
communism in the Western
Hemisphere will not be won
by brandishing the big stick,
and that the effort to de-
stroy Castro fails to come to
grips with the meaning Of
the recent Cuban experience
and seriously endangers the
pursuit of our most vital
interests in world affairs. It
puts the blame on the C1A
for the invasion disaster.
This has become an increas-
ingly favorite pastime Of
those seeking to find a scape-
goat for the fiasco. 1t attacks

more than a year, which
was to crush Castle. The
open letter says. too, that
Castro may we'll be a threat
to the security of the
Americas. "B u t." it conti-
nues, this is not primarily
a military threat" The real
danger Castro presents, is one
of subversion and the ex-
ample of his own brand Of
social revolution in othe er
Latin American republics.
The professors couldn't be
more correct. But the remedy
they propose does not take
into account either the kind
of man Castro is nor the fact
that Khrushchev will never
allow Castro, even if he
should have a change OF
heart, to become reconciled
to the United States-un-
less it is for the purpose Of
throwing dust in our eyes
while he builds up a really
powerful military threat,
capable of blackmailing us
in the end.
Propaganda for dealing
gently with Castro is not
confined to college profess
sors. More than a year ago

Committee was organized to
work among college students
"a pro-Castro organization.

dents to Cuba last Decem-

what Castro has done in

Is an era Of appeaSement
upon us - as it was when
Hitler came into supreme
power before World War II?
In Hitler's day, the United
States was not involved in
the appeasement of the Nazi
leader. Today, however, the
seeds of appeasement seem
to have been sown in this
country-and the appeaSe-
ment runs to c ON m u n t
leaders in Soviet Russia, in
Red China, and now to the
Communist-directed govern
ment in Cuba-to Fidel Cas-
tro. So far this appeaSement
trend has not involved in any
way President Kennedy and
the Gov ernmen of the
United States. But pressures
are being brought to bear.
And they are pressures OF
various kinds Of intensity.
For example, an open let
ter, published in the New
York Times May 10, ad-
dressed to the President of
the United States, signed by
68 college professors and two
''intellectuals," proposes that
the United States seek in
stead Cof intervention) to de-
tach the Castro regime from
the Communist bloc by work.
ing for a diplomatic detente
and a resumption of trade
relations (between this coun-
try and Cuba)." Probably
many, if not all, Of the sign
ers of this open letter would
resent being called "appeas-
ers." 1t is difficult, however,
to characterize their proposal
as anything except appease-
ment in view Of the stand
taken and by Castro's actions
toward the United States and
it's citizens, along with Cas-
tro's recent statement that
his government had become
completely "socialistic' IN
the sense the word is used by
the Communist Russians. A
"detente"-a relaxing OF
strained relations b etwee n
nations - as asked by the
professors so far as Castro is
concerned, appears naive in
the extreme and completely
unrealistic.
A member Of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee,
questioned about the open
letter to the President. COM
mented: The signers Of the
proposal show a failure to
recognize the facts of life,
The Communists-and Castro
has announced his Commu-
mist form of government-do

they work for constantly

One of the main things
for us TO remember is that
God is with the righteous. So,
we, all of us, should strive
to be among the righteous
in thoughts and in deeds. We
can do this through prayer,
study and right thinking
about our relationship with
G 0 d. and our fellowman.
When we do our best, we
will find that God has already
done the rest. Our destiny is
in Gods care. and this should
be our common reasoning
and spiritual sense to know.
~. The Scriptures imply
that God is AII-in-aII. From
this il follows that nothing
possesses reality nor exist
ence except the divine Mind
and His ideas. The Scriptures
also declare that God is Spirit.
Therefore in Spirit all is har-
mony. and there can be no
discord; all is Life, and there
is no death. Everything in

President Kennedy
I want to say, speaking
personally, and also as Presi-
dent of the United States,
that it has been a source of
great satisfaction to me to
have the Prime Minister visit
this country again.
He has enjoyed the closest
relations and the fullest con-
fidence with three of my
predecessors, President Roose-
welt, President Truman and
President Eisenhower; and it
is therefore, as the fourth in
this series of American Presi-
dents, it has been the greatest
possible pleasure to have had
this opportunity to establish
close and I think highly sat-
iSfactory personal and public
relations with him during
these last few days.
We are delighted that I had
a chance to see him again after
our very satisfactory talk in
Florida. Each one of our meet
ings I think has increased the
degree of cohesion which ex-
lists and must exist between his

II More Committees
Abolished by Kennedy

President Kennedy yesterday
terminated Al more inter-
departmental committees as a
part of his administrations
efforts to abolish non-essential
agencies and place responsible
ity in specific individuals.
This brought to 81 the num-
Der of such committees the
President has ordered abolished
since taking office.
Seventeen groups having di-
rect connection with the White
House were terminated on
March 9. The committe e S
dropped yesterday had been
set up mostly among various
Government departments. Most
of them were inactive.
ANY work which must be
continued after these groups
are abolished" the White House
said, has been assigned to the
department heads that have
provided chairmen of the spe-
cial committees"
Among those abolished was a
Civil Service committee which
served as an advisory group on
training for boards of United
States Civil Service Examiners
in the Washington area.

(AP). - The bodies of three
crewmen of a B-52 jet bomber,
shot down accidentally by a
8 National Guard fighter plane,
were discovered today.
Two remaining crewmen were
missing in the snowy wastes
3 around Mount Taylor in west
ern New Mexico. Both were
presumed dead.
20 The Air Force declined to
identify those known dead.
A mock aerial battle over
. the mountainous terrain Fri
day ended when a heat-seeking
Sidewinder missile fired from
g the National Guard F-100 and
crashed into one hot left en-
gine on the eight-engine, So
million bomber.
The guard pilot blamed me-
chanical failure.
Three men parachuted to
safety and were recovered alive.
They were kept incommunicado
by the Air Force.
Crashes in Storm
The big bomber crashed near
the 8000-foot level in a heavy
snow storm. 1t dug a hole in
the hillside eight feet deep and
80 feet wide.
One jet engine was found 300
yards from the crash scene.
One still identifiable piece of
wreckage bore what apparently
was the planes nickname

Force base at Ell Paso, Tex,
where the B-52 was stationed,
is just across the Rio Grande
from the city of Juarez, Mexico.
TWenty-one would-be reScu-
erS and newsmen remained
stranded on the snowy slopes
tonight in 10-degree cold. They
were not considered to be in
any danger. Forty-nine were
stranded Friday night, but sur
vived with air dropped food and
blankets.
Mechanical Failure
The Air National Guard
safety officer whose plane fired
the heat-seeking Sidewinder
missile, today attributed the
tragedy to a mechanical failure
of some kind, II don't know
what" First 1t. James Van
Scyoc said he saw the missile
strike a jet pod on the bomb

and the bomber plunge into the
