KEY WEST. Fla, April 20.
The long absence from the
airWays of television's greatest
political ham continues to be
one Of the big question marks
of the Cuban crises.
From this vantage point 80
miles northwest of Havana, it
is possible to monitor the pro-
grams of the Cuban broadcast
ing system. Station CMQ-TV
Channel g. is received clearly
here.
A Time to Show Up
Constant monitoring of CMQ
since the outbreak of fighting
Monday morning has failed to
reveal Cuban Premier Fidel
CaStro'S presence before the
cameras, even for a moment.
In normal times of crises, and
in times of no crises at all, Mr..
Castro is fond of making long
winded, arm waving speeches.
IF there ever was a time
when the head Of a govern
ment should put in an appear
ance, that time is now" an
American close to the Cuban
scene remarked today.
The continued absence of Mr..
Castro from the airwaves has
caused renewed speculation in
South Florida over the posi-
bility that the Cuban dictator
might have been killed or in
jured in an air attack a couple
Of hundred miles southeast of
Havana early Monday.
There is still nothing to con-
firm the report except the mega
tive confirmation" of Mr.. Cas-
tro's non-appearance.
Program Features Slogan
The ly-evening fare on
CMQ yesterday was a lengthy
round-robin TRADE among three
announcers. who devoted them
selves to a marathon denuncia-
ton of the United States. This
is a regular feature of Cuban
TV these days. a veteran
watcher in Key West said.
The show last evening was

This group had tried to pa
rade in front of the Russian
Embassy, but police allowed
them to approach no closer
than Sixteenth and K streets,
about two blocks away.
After milling around the
corner between 10 and 1920
am the picketS marched to
the White House and shuttled
in orderly fashion on Pennsyl-
vania avenue.
Russia Assailed
Many of them carried signs,
some of which read:
Cuba is Russia, THE Com
mics Dream - Cuba To-day
The World Tomorrow" Cuba
Si-Russia No" "Commies Get
Out of Cuba" and Americans
Help Stop Communism"
Following the egg-throwing.
Washington plainclothes police
went to the Embassy unlimited
to inquire into the incident.
They said Embassy attaches
were a little upset" but did
not seem overly disturbed, They
would not say if any of their
staff had been hit by the eggs.
The White House picketS ap-
peared satisfied with their
work by noon, and quietly de-
parted.

which fails to mention the role
of the OAS in settling the re-
gional dispute, he said.
The American delegation adds
its own disgruntled footnote.
Its members are perturbed
about the way the Mexican res
olution was "precipitately" in
troduced without consultation
among hemisphere nations.
The United States group is
giving full support to a resolu-
ton of Venezuela, Argentina
and five other Latin American
countries which would throw
the Cuban-American dispute
back into the OAS.
The blunt Soviet resolution
and relatively mild Romanian
proposal are not taken very
seriously and stand little chance
of passing. Their language
smacks too much of cold-war
verbiage for the neutral Afri-
cans and Asians.
Many to Abstain
The seven-power resolution
backed by the United States
seems likely to gain a simple
majority-but with many sig
nificant abstentions. Whether
it will go on to receive the
two-thirds majority in the
General Assembly necessary to
make it binding is still in
doubt.
The General Assembly is
rushing to finish the current
session on Friday. Controvnr-
sial questions of Hungary,
Tibet and African economic
development have still to be
settled.
Valerian A. Zorin, the So
Wet delegate, held a festive
reception to commemorate last
nights adjournment.
None of the Communist dele
gates seemed much disturbed
about their impending defeat"
in the Cuban debate. Over

FLOWERY IDEA
ENDS IN BANG

Senator Monroney, Dem
ocrat of Oklahoma, related
yesterday that a member of
his staff recently called
the Government Printing
Office asking for material
on African violets which
had been requested by a
constituent.
You'll have to call the
State Department" was
the reply. "They would
have any material on Afri-
can violence"

| olrecJ proportion to the failure
of the rebels to achieve rapid
success in their Cuban invasion,
Even the closest friends OF
the United States here are say
ing privately that the high
moral prestige initially built up
by President Kennedy and his
ambassador. Adlai E.. Steven
son, has been wiped out.
Debate Dies Down
Much of the fire in the
verbal exchanges seems to have
subsided with the general feel
ing that the Castro govern
ment has weathered the storm
at least for the time being.
The expectation is Jnat the
battle Of international shadow
boxing here will end in more
abStentions than a positive de-
ciSion.
The chief records left be-
hind are the broken ranks of
the Organization of American
States. The Mexicans have in
troduCed a resolution aimed
directly at stopping the train
ing, financing and equipping
of rebel forces on United States
territory.
The United States will alb
stain on this resolution, but
our delegation makes no secret
of its opposition. On the other
hand, Brazil and Ecuador in
the Western Hemisphere, and
a growing number of African
and Asian nations, have indi-
Gated their sympathy with Mex
ico'S proposal.
Arab Blasts u. S.
Today sharp criticism of the
United States came from Saudi
Arabia'S minister of state
Ahmad Shukairy. who accused
the Kennedy administration of
meddling in the internal af-
fairs of Cuba.
| Mr.. Shukairy challenged the
validity of the Monroe Doctrine,
which bars outside intervention
in the affairs Of the Western
Hemisphere. He also questioned
the right of the United States
to oppose Communist penetra-
ton into Cuba. Every state
can have whatever theology it
wishes" he said.
Ghana's Alex Quaison-Sac-
key said he was not prepared to
pass judgment on the various
charges which the committee
had heard, but he indicated he
would support a Mexican reSo-
luton calling for non-inter-
yention in Cuban affairs.
Mr.. Stevenson is following
the lead set by Sir Patrick
Dean, the British delegate, in
debates yesterday. Sir Patrick
said it is too early to Judge the
Cuban situation. His delegation
could not vote for the Ro-
manian and Soviet resolutions
attacking American aggres-
sion" or the Mexican resolution

Under What Authority?

BY what right does the United
States tax its citizens to raise
money which is then turned
over to a foreign government?
If that question be too gen.
eral, then let us try this one
for size:
What. right does the govern.
ment Of the United States have
to lend the new African nation
of Ghana the sum of $133 mil
lion in American taxpayers dol
lars with which to help build a
dam and an aluminium plant?
The question would be peril
nent if Ghana were our friend
and ally, which it most as
suredly is not. The query be-
comes all the more pointed,
t h fore, in the light OF
Ghana's obvious friendship with
Soviet Russia and equally obvi-
Gus dislike for the United States.
But, quite apart from the
vagaries of who likes who on
the international scene, let's
look at the matter from the
vantage point of the COnStitu-
ton of the United States.
First of all, the Constitution
have the power to lay and col
lect taxes. duties. imposts and
excuses. to pay the debts and
provide for the common de-
Tense and general welfare Of the
United States -
That gene raj welfare"
phrase mas been stretched and
twisted far beyond its Original
intent by those who have pro-
NOTED centralized government
in this country. Now, it appar-
emily is being stretched still far.
Their to acc ON m odate the
worlds welfare.
All this is not new. mind you,
But this latest lending affair
with Ghana provides the &C.
casion for reviewing the whole
pattern of International finan-
cling.
Congress is authorized, by the
Constitution, to regulate com.
merce with foreign nations. But
note that permission is granted
for regulation of, not participa.
ton in. foreign commerce.
Can it be argued. then, that
the rendering of a $133 million
loan to Ghana contributes to the
common defense?"
There may be instances, such
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1961-12-29

| as in the prividing Of arms for
our allies, where such an argu-
ment would hold water. But
who can seriously contend that
building up the economy of a
latently. and almost patiently,
hostile African country will aid
the d tense Of the United
States? If anything. the result
may be exactly the opposite.
But if we stepped out, what
if Russia stepped in, and Ghana
borrowed from the Soviets? On
that point, this much is clear:
If the Russians had dished out
the billions Of dollars FILTERED
away by the United States in
recent years. they would be in
much worse fiscal shape now
than they are-and THAT might
help the common defense Of the
United States.
Incidentally, it IS worth noting
that the U. S. Constitution limits
appropriations of money for the
actual support of our own
American armies to terms no
longer than two years, whereas
this loan to Ghana viii b9 good
for a 19-year period.
Somewhere, sometime. some
how, there must be a halt to
this business of Americas f.
nancing the world.
The Constitution. drafted in
the name of the people of the
United States, has as its .iustifi-
cation the collective desire to
form a more perfect Union, es-
tablish justice. insure domestic
tranquility, provide for the
common defense, promote the
general welfare. and secure the
blessings Of liberty to ourselves
and our posterity."
Nowhere among those lauda-
bic aims is there a loophole
through which the taxpayers
money can legitimately be fun
neled into economic ventures in
a foreign land.
There is ample private capital
available in the hands of Aneri-
can banking and industrial insti-
tutlons to underwrite sound ven
lures undertaken by sound gov
ernments.
The capitalist syste m EN-
bodies the element Of risk CAPT.
tai. and investment monies are
built up with the intent Of
launching new enterprises in
the expectation Of reaping new
profits.
Not SO with the government
which lives on tribute exacted
from its taxpaying citizenry
Americans will pay, and should
pay, for the necessary EXPENSES
OF operating their government
and insuring their defense but
they should pay no more than
these expenses. gA
Every dollar handed over to
foreign country. whether by
loan or otherwise. is dollar
which properly belongs in the
hands Of the American taxpay-
ers. Citizens have the oppor-
tnity. through both CONNER
cial and charitable channels. to
earmark funds for foreign in
vestment or relief.
American citizens Should fi0r
be compelled to contribute to
foreign nations, even though the
contributions be in the name of
the United States.

During 1861, Virginia elected Albertis
Harrison, Jr., governor, Mills E. Cod
win, Jr, lieutanent governor and Robert
Y. Button, attorney general. After their
Inauguration in January, the Virginia
legislature will come to grips with
many and varied problems, including
financing, education, capital improve
ments, industry and agriculture.
The United States got new president
last January, when John F. Kennedy
was inaugurated. 1t has been long
year with many national and interna-
tional problems for the young president.
Cuba, Laos, Vietnam, the Congo, AL
geria, Berlin, have provided some of the
many crises to be faced. Russia is said
to have put man in orbit several times
around the world, and the United States
continues experiments by placing as
tranaut Alan 3. Shepard in sub-orbital
flight.
Premier Khrushchev resumed atmos-
pheric testing of atomic weapons,
preaching an agreement of non-testing.
The Russians have continued the cold
war universally.
Prince Edward County has continued
in the Courts in it's effort to find a
solution to the school dilemma. The
NAACP began the year with Pilgrim
age in Farmville, held an anniversary
meeting on the Courthouse Green May
20 to celebrate the U. S. Supreme Court
decision Of May II, 1854.
U. S. Civil Rights Commission held a
meeting in Williamsburg in January to
which the NAACP and the Prince Ed
ward Board were invited
U. S. Justice Department requested
to be made party to the suit against
Prince Edward then before the U. S.
Federal Court, which was denied by
Judge Oren Lewis.
In decision in August the Federal
Court denied the benefit of State or
County scholarships to Prince Edward
County parents, and at years end the
stage is set for a hearing of Prince Ed
wards position on constitutional
grounds by the Virginia Supreme Court
of Appeals.
Life moves on! The Community Fund
supporting thirteen community service
agencies reached its goal of over $l7, 900.
The recreation program attracted near
ly 300 youngsters to the baseball
leagues, and several thousands to the
swimming pool. The Southside Commu-
nifty Hospital continues to serve the ILL.,.
Life moves on and on, entirely too
swiftly, but we can be treasured as in
ventory is taken Of this community and
its institutions. We are glad we live
here.
