The heating season is in full

~ Walter MondaIe
Attorney General. stat. OF Mron..o,.

Because of the Importance of a
flourishing economy to all consum'

iously providing me an opportunity
to report regularly on the Con-
sumer Protection program operat-
ed in the office of the Attorney
General.
Nearly four and one-half billion
dollars is spent by the buying pub
lie in Minnesota each year. That
means that if only one per cent of
the states retail sales transactions
are tainted with fraud Minnesotans
are losing up to $45, 900, 900 annu-
ally.
This glittering wealth is a bon
ANA beckoning the worst element
in our ambitious, energetic Amer
ican Society. Fast talk, shoddy
merchandise, fancy" pricing, de-
ceptively easy credit terms, and
the fulsome promise of empty
money back" guarantees, all are
combined to blk the unsuspecting
public.
The fraud of which I speak is a
blight on our entire community.
More important, such fraud Is a
gratuitous insult to the vast ma
jority of ethical, conscientious, and
fair merchants in Minnesota. I
don't for a moment mean to imply
that the illegal and unethical oper-
ators in our midst are more than a
tiny fraction of our whole business
community.
In fact, our new Consumer Pro-
lection Unit, a special legal staff
headed by Special Assistant At
torney General Thomas Gallagher
Jr., has found in more than a year
of operation that our program is of
direct assistance to the business
man of the state. When we succeed
in removing from the business

Weaver Appointment &
New Dept. Made
ConqressionoI Issue

Washington (ANP)-In a dram
attic move, President Kennedy last
week reduced the question of Great
ing a department of urban affairs
to its basic issue whether Con.
gress approves a Negro holding q
cabinet position.
The establishment of a depart
ment of urban affairs and housing
is one of the Presidents pet prop
osals and indications were that il
had congressional approval until
Kennedy made known his inten-
ton of elevating Housing Admin
istrator Robert c. Weaver to cab
met rank to head up the new de-
partment.
Then votes shifted and Repub-
ican and southern Democratic
members of the House Rules
committee voted to shelve the
bill, thus preventing it from
reaching the floor for cOnsidera-
ton. The vote was 8 to 6 against
the bill.
Rebuffed by the committee
Kennedy announced that he was
"astonished" by the G. o. P. stand,
that he would create the depart
ment by executive decree under
the Reorganization Act and that
he intended to put Weaver in
charge.
The department comes into be-
ing automatically unless one
house of Congress casts a ma
jOrity vote against it within
sixty days.
Knowing that approval of the
plan is tantamount to the naming
of Weaver to the cabinet makes
the racial question the main issue.
Aware that the strategem
places them on the racial hot
seat, Republicans Immediately
accused Kennedy of injecting a
racial issue.
John M. Bailey, chairman Of the
Democratic National Committee,
issued a statement charging in ef-
feet that the real reason the Re-
publicans voted unanimously to
kill the new department was their
desire to prevent a Negro from
being named to head it.
Rep. John w. Byrnes (R-Wis.),
chairman of the House Republican
Policy Committee, explained the
reason why the House Republican
Policy Committee - and all the
Republican members of the Rules
Committee - opposed the bill.
The reason, he said, had nothing
to do with the question Of who
might eventually be named to head
the new department. He said it
rested on fundamental principles:
(1) that in the Republican view
the new department was fraud"
and would solve mot one single"
urban problem, (2) that it con-
tanned the seeds Of destruction of
our federal system" 90 that its
size and cost were appalling" and
(4) that the proposal was direct
ly contrary" to the 1860 Repubi-
can platform.

Dom Jackson Has
Good Role In
Orphuem Film

Dan Jackson, featured in Charles
H. Scheers production of Jules
Vernes, Mysterious Island" which
is now showing at the Orphuem
theaters of both cities, believes he
has one of the best roles given a
Negro in recent film history.
Jackson plays the role of Neb,
a Negro Union Army corporal in
the film, and he says this was the
most sought-after role in years
among Negro actors.
This picture" explains the
Montreal-born actor, "is a mile
stone in film history. This is the
first time that a Negro has been
one of the central characters in a
film without any explanation be-
ing offered for his color or his
presence.
"Neb is accepted as a man.
Ihere is never any attempt to
make him comical or sad, or even
subservient to the white men with
whom he struggles for survival on
the mysterious island. In short,
Neb is just a man, brave as the
rest, just as fearful, with the same
81 90
as the white man."
He points out, for example, that
he does not have a comic line to
say, nor is he asked to speak with
a so-called Negro dialect.

U. S. Stand Against European Systems
In This Hemisphere Believed Given Up

in Cuba in the first place,
but now they have supplied
5000 military men to help
Castro maintain himself in
power.
AS late as April. 1861, the
Kennedy administration was
willing to help by military
means the Cubans who tried
to liberate their homeland.
But after the expedition was
bungled and the President at
q crucial moment withheld
military air support, the ad-
ministration retreated still
further by declaring publicly
1t will intervene only if Cuba
attacks some other country.
The Communist occupation
of Cuba is, therefore, &C
cepted by the State Depart
ment just as the Berlin
wall" was accepted.
There is, of course, an ap-
basement faction in this
country which has a consid-
cradle influence with Presi-
dent Kennedy. This school Of
thought insists that the
Monroe Doctrine isn't Elm
ternational law" or that it
has become outmoded be-
cause the United States has
from time to time stationed
troops in Southeast Asia and
in Western Europe and in
Korea.
But in each case the United
States had taken the meas
ures of military defense at
the request of the existing
governments or by an agree
ment Of allies. The Soviet
Union can contend that it is
doing the same thing in
Cuba. While this may sat-
isfy Moscow's policy makers,
1t doesn't diminish or modify
the responsibility Of the
United States under the
Monroe Doctrine. This doc
trine was recognized explicit
ly in the Covenant Of the
League Of Nations as inter-
national law by agreement.
The Covenant was ratified by
most Of the nations Of the
world, including the Soviet
Union, and the Monroe Doc
trine is as much a part Of
international law today as
any regional arrangement. In
fact, the Charter Of the

Policy on Soviet Seizure of Cuba

United Nations explicitly rec
ognizes regional arrangements
as not in conflict with its
own purposes.
Oddly enough, the joint
resolution adopted recently
by Congress says in its pre-
amble:
Whereas President James
Monroe, announcing the
Monroe Doctrine in 1928, de-
clared that the United States
would consider any attempt
on the part of European
powers TO extend their syS-
tenn to any portion of this
hemisphere as dangerous to
our peace and safety"
This is q reaffirmation Of
the words of the doctrine, but
actually the main part of the
resolution itself doesn't go
on to implement that declara-
ton. The subsequent para
graphs merely say that Cuba
must not attack or threaten
any other country. Certainly
the Monroe Doctrine isn't
needed to formulate any
United States policy to de-
fend itself militarily or to de-
fend other nations in this
hemisphere who seek our
help.
What has actually hap
pened Is that the United
States Government has re-
treated before the world and
given up that section of the
Monroe Doctrine which COM
mits this country to resist
any attempt by European
powers "to extend their sys-
TEN to any portion of this
hemisphere"
This means that, in the
face of the Soviet occupation
of a country only 80 miles
away from our shores, the
United States Government
acquiesces in such an en-
croachmeft on the Monroe
Doctrine by the Soviet gov
eminent. Thus, as Winston
Churchill once said, sur
render or unwillingness to
fight for what is right when
the military odds are in ones
favor leads eventually to a
big war in which the risks
are greater and the INVOLVE
ment is far more dangerous.
The Cuban policy of the ad-
ministration is properly an
issue for speakers in the cur
rent congressional campaign.

Break in Kennedy-Eisenhower Armistice
On Foreign Policy Called RegrettobIe

nedy had thrown barbs at
his own previous conduct Of
those affairs.
This columnist has been
one Of those long alarmed
that a mere campaign to de-
eide who should go to Con-
gress was taking on the tone
Of an about contest between
two men not now running for
any office, Mr.. Kennedy and
Gen. Eisenhower. Five days
before the Eisenhower speech
in Boston, after recalling that
on the mortal foreign issues
the President and former
President had fully Coop
Grated, this correspondent
had predicted:
1.-THE kind Of campaigning
in which they are now en-
gagged could tear apart this
reluctant but incomparably
important Kennedy-E isen-
hover comradeship on this
vital security concept"
If that comradeship has
not now been torn apart, it
is, to say the least, in ex-
treme danger. And for what
has this extreme danger been
risked? For a bare hope by
President Kennedy that he
might, just might, bring to
Congress a few more Demo-
Gratis who would favor such
of his domestic welfare pro-
grams as were denied by the
old Congress.
Put aside that fact that
this old Congress was already
heavily Democratic-though
it is true it did not give him
every single welfare plan he
wanted. Put aside that 1t
memorably supported him,

ton, in the things that were
really important, the issues

WILLIAM S. WHITE

The chickens have come
home to roost. They are
roosting all over that good
degree of bipartisan national
unity on foreign affairs
which had been the one true
distinction of the Kennedy
administration and which
had helped protect this coun-
try In a world Of danger.
What has befallen is the
inevitable consequence Of
an unnecessarily PARTISAN
minded congressional cam
paign from the White House
over comparatively two-bit
stakes.
Angered at criticism by
President Kennedy Of his
own foreign policy record,
former President Eisenhower
has now replied in kind. So
the long armistice main
tanned between them on
perils beyond the waters
edge is now broken.
However they had dis
agreed on domestic matters,
they had thus far been to-
gether in common consent
that this country simply
could not afford harsh par
tisan divisions on affairs like
Berlin and Cuba. They are
together no longer-and the
whole world knows it.
Gen. Eisenhower, indeed,
had been a tower Of strength
to President Kennedy in all
those foreign problems which
beset all Americans, Demo-
Gratis and Republicans. But
on Monday in Boston, for the
first time in this campaign,
he attacked the Kennedy ad-
ministration, not only for
its domestic policies but for
its conduct of foreign affairs
as well. He did so, he frankly
said, because a short time be-
fore, in his home State Of
