Reds Losing Unity
As West Gains.
Kennedy Asserts:
Talk in Ohio
Cites Albanian,
Chinese Riffs

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 6
(AP).-President Kennedy said
tonight the Western alliance
is gaining strength while the
Communist bloc has begun to
crack.
"The past 18 months has
seen the beginning of the frag-
mentation of the Communist
empire" Mr.. Kennedy told a
Democratic Embarrassing ban
quet here tonight.
The President flew in from
Washington i'll the rain to ad-
dress the banquet at the State
fair grounds in honor Of Gov.
Michael V. DiSalle's 54th birth
day anniversary. He flew back
to Washington after the din
ner.
Mr.. Kennedy contended that
Soviet influence has declined in
Africa and the Middle East
and that the Western alliance
has been strengthened while an
important split has developed
in the association Of Commun-
iSt nations.
Sees 2 Nations DESERVING
| The President said East Ger
many, Poland and Hungary
have been forced to stick with
the Communist front, but that
Red China and Albania have
started to move away.
Blowing apart Communist
predictions, M. Kennedy said
the Western world has received
its greatest impetus toward
unity in history"
MIR. Kennedy declared that
freedom is the handmaiden
of abundance"
AT the same time, he de-
clared that anyone who con-
tends there is nothing left to
be done and that the function
of the Federal Government is
to sit and rest at anchor" is
wholly wrong.
The President called for SUD-
port of his administrators
proposals to make 1862 a year
of progress" in this country
and abroad.
Success, he said, will give the
Democratic Party a record on
which to run next fall.
Delayed by Fog
The President, grounded by
heavy fog before taking off
from Washington, was nearly
an hour late in reaching the
Ohio capital. He drove di-
rectly to the Buckeye building
on the State fair grounds to
give Gov. Disable a boost and
claim "a year of achievement"
for mis- first IL months in
office.
Mr.. Kennedy plugged hard
for his programs to lend Fed
eral support for higher educa-
tion and to link medical care
for the aged to the social secur-

gram, including a broad new

by the rash of new stock issues
The problem, building up
here for more than two years
was described as one of the
most serious faced by the COM
mission. The investigators have
their orders to clean up WASH
ington." "
The secret investigation, dis
closed now for the first time,
has already brought charges
against 16 area broker-dealers
More cases are in the works.
Enforcement Staff Enlarged
The drive here reflects inten-
sified SEC enforcement activity.
Recently, the SECS Division of
Trading and Exchanges was re-
organized and it's branch of
special investigations greatly
expanded.
Only yesterday, the SEC staff
came out with a hard-hitting
report on the manifold abuses"
of the American Stock Ex-
change. Officials strongly i'm
piled that SEC itself will follow
up the revelations with stricter
supervision as we'll as action
against individual violators.
Typical of the unsettled stu
alton in Washington securities
dealings is the fact that 73 new
broker-dealer firms moved in
here during the past three years
and 40 moved out-including II
expelled by the National As
soclation Of Securities Dealers
1O4 Firms Here Now
The NASD, the Self-policing
organization in the securities
field, reported a net increase in
its membership here from II
firms in 1859 to 104 in 1861.
The upward surge of broker
dealers joining NASD here is
reflected in figures showing
10 joined in 1859, % in 1860
and 81 in 1861.
Washington became the mag
net for the bad along with the
good because virtually every
State in the country has some
version of a "blue sky" law pro-
viding State control of security
dealers and their stocks.
State enforcement officers
not only block the issue of ques-
tionable STOCKS, but prevent the
registration of questionable
stock dealers.
While the SEC has more au-
thority here to protect investors
than in the States where intra-
state stocks are exempted, rep
utable dealers here believe a
blue sky" law would make
Washington less of a magnet
for promoters driven out of
other States.
Virginia has a tight law of its
own and Maryland is now
drafting Stricter requirements
for its dealers.

L. PEASTER
OFFERED MUCH

Love of God, country and family, courage, kindness,
and diligence are the virtues On which America rose to
greatness. All of these virtues were fully exemplified in
the long and useful life Of the late R.. L. Peaster Of Quofo-
Iona Plantation, near Tchula in Holmes County, who pas
sed to his Heavenly Home on Saturday, June 2, 1861, at
the Kings Daughters Hospital near Yazoo City.
Coming to the Holmes County Delta as a young man
of twenty years, by his courteous manner, wise counsel,
patriotism, and in success in his own planting operations,
he deservedly achieved a position of high esteem and re-
spect by all.
His passing is mourned by his beloved family, and by
his wide circle of friends, to whom he was the epitome of
honor and kindness.
His memory will long endure, and will ever inspire those
who knew him to live their best.

Although the actual date
for construction of the new
facilities has not been deter
mined, the Holmes County
Board Of Supervisors has au-
thorized an additional one :
quarter mill ad valorem tax
to be levied with the proceeds
earmarked for the barn. The
action was taken at their re-
