as we understood it included not
only Russian weapons, but also
Russian personnel along with the
dictator-stooge Castro, after which
free elections were to be held in
order to give the Cuban people
control of their own country.
Apparently our country intended
to make up for its pitiful blunder
of more than a year before when it
failed to support the liberation eff
fort by Cuban patriots. But now it
seems intent on more plumbers
which will strengthen, rather than
weaken, the communist hold in our
hemisphere
As of now, Russians say they
have diSmantled all of the of
fensive" missile bases They backed
up that claim by permitting OBJ
servers on U. S. ships to see the
crates on Russian ships headed
back to the Soviet. What kind of
assurance is that, coming from
scoundrels who are known to lie
every time it serves their purpose?
Did those crates really contain mis-
siles? If so, how can we know that
all were, sent out. How many are
hidden in caves, as indicated by
reports from Cuba?
Questions can be asked by the
dozens, and in every case our coun-
try is depending for the answer
on the honor of people who have
no honor. It's hard to imagine less
dependable agreement than that.
It's hard to imagine how responsible
people in our government could
conscientiously become parties to
such a deal.
The absurdity of our agreement
can be reduced to few words. We
made a poor deal In the tlrst place
allowing the Reds to confine their
promised cleanup to offensive weap-
ons. and allowing them to decide
what is defensive" or offensive"
In that alone we left ourselves
wide open for every possible
fraud. by men who are known
masters of deceit. And then we
don't even have assurance that they
are moving the stuff which is I'M
qucstionably offensive. It's doubt
full if any nation ever held the
bag as foolishly as we hold this
one.

Holding The Bag Again

President Kennedy's courageous
ultimatum to Khrushchev a few
weeks ago seems to have lost it eff
feet. In fact the present state of
affairs hints strongly that this will
become just another case of COM

with the Soviets.

that first day of brave talk has
been humiliating At that time

Monroe Doctrine would be applied

DISTURBING FACTS
BY RosaIie M. Gordon

Only many weeks after the
smoke and fire had cleared away
from what is now called the Ok
ford Incident - the unhappy cpl
sode at the University of Mississip-
pi - are certain disturbing facts
emerging. They are worth notice
for two reasons: Cd That they
are not essentially concerned with
the question of whether or not a
Negro should or should not have
been admitted to the University,
and (2) that they have very SER
ious bearing on the liberties and
constitutional rights of all Ameri-
cans, no matter what their color
Put differently, there were certain
actions in the Mississippi case
which, if allowed to stand, could
be turned against any American
citizen of any color.
Due Process Ignored
First, Supreme Court Justice
Hugo Black, with the help of the
President and Acknowledgement
Kennedy, played havoc with due
process of the law Before trouble
erupted at Oxford, the case of the
State of Mississippi objecting to en-
rollment of Negro at the Univer-
sity, was pending on appeal to the
Supreme Court. Justice Black, a
month before the Supreme Court
met for its first session of the new
term, decided this case by himself.
The other justices we're scattered
about the country. Justice Black,
presumably by telephone, made
some sort of poll among them and
on the assumption that when the
Court would meet later it would
decide against the State of Missis-
sippi, he issued an order that it
register James Meredith. 1t was to
enforce that order that the Presi-
dent and the Attorney General sent
federal marShalS and troops into
Mississippi = an order that was
legalized only when the full Court
finally met Lawyers call this ex
post facto action. 1t is hateful to
all traditions of American Judicial
procedure and, if you will think
about it, is something that can be
turned against any citizen, includ-
ing Negro citizens, once the prece-
dent is allowed to stand.
Role OF Marshals
Second, there is a growing
amount of evidence that the riots
at the University of Mississippi
were spanked by the federal mar
shals, not by the students, For eX-
ample, the very sober and careful
U. S. News & World Report last
month printed a letter from a stu
dent. The gist of it was that the
students, many of them girls, with
natural curiosity and some jeering
but expecting no trouble, were
milling about watching the federal
marshals take over their campus.
All of a sudden the marshals,
armed with tear gas guns, began
firing into clusters of students and
crowd of curious young people
turned into an angry, rioting mob.
The important point here is that
the kind of federal authority turned
loose on the campus of the Uni
versity of Mississippi can be turned
loose against anyone in any con-
ceivable situation if such authority
is allowed to proceed unchecked.
Individual Rights
Third, there was the case OF
General Edwin Walker, arrested,
held in the fantastic bail of $780,
600 and without benefit of counsel
slapped into a mental institution
without even a psychiatric exami-
nation. It does not matter what one

wigs protected them from the

came back in the 16OO's, it was
strictly for vanity's sake, and
the repercussions were felt by
innocent babes and national

From the moment Louis XIV
became bald, the wig was the
thing in Paris, and the style
quickly jumped the Channel into
England. The English, eager for
a diversion after the gloomy
rule of the Cromwells, took up
wigs with a passion. Wig-snatch-
