The strength of our country stems from the right of it's citizens to vote Our democracy rests the freedom of the individual to choose for any elective position the candidate who he thinks will best repre- sent his interests
 Our form of government has brought untold bene- fits and advantages to us, it's citizens In return 1t Is our duty to help keep that form of government strong, by assuming responsibilities in voting to be that all governed by those who represent the choice of the ajority It is when shirk this duty that individuals who have only their own interests at heart find it easier to creep into take over governments, where their private ambi- tons can work to the detrment of the American people,
 We urge every qualified voter to exercise his prv1- ege and obligation of Voting-not only in the forth coming election, but in all elections for which he is eligible It's every voters duty to "get out the vote' talk It up with neghbors-volunteer to transport them to the polls.

Gen. Truman and half a

Mr.. Salinger said he could
not comment about reports
that the United States might
send jet fighters to bolster
u. N. forces in the Congo.
Neither would he speculate on
whether American pilots might
accompany any planes sent
there.
The administration is con-
cerned because a number of
nations plan to withdraw their
units from the u. N. Congo
froce early next year. Officials
also are worried about the pos
sibility that Communist ele-
ments might try to take over

Morton Hits
Role of U. S.
In Ransom

LEXINGTON. KY, Dec. %
(AP). - Senator Morton, Re-
publican Of Kentucky is crit
ical Of the Governments role
in the ransom Of invasion pris-
oners from Fidel Castro's Cuba.
Senator Morton said the gen.
eral belief had been that ran
som money was raised by pri-
vate enterprise. But he said
facts do not bear this out. Gov
eminent got into the act, he
said.
The Kentucky Republican

lions Of materials to the fund

That Attorney General Rob-

pending against it" and sug-
gested "they contribute to the
ransom fund :"
And, that a. member Of the
investigating committee Of Sem
ator Kefauver, Democrat of
Tennessee, suggested, that a
drug company make donations
to this fund. :"
When these things happened,
Senator Morton told a civic

eminent was connected with

Tshombe's supporters inter-
preted the visit as a forerun-
ner Of United States military

charged that U. N. forces had
opened fire at several points
