tax constitutional amendment,
made public a letter dated
March 6, in which the Presi-
dent restated his approval and
urged action at this session.
Meanwhile, Senator Heating,
Republican of New York. served
notice he will offer a much
broader program of new civil
rights proposals when a bill to
curb literacy tests is called up
next month.
Bigger Fight Seen
- His announcement made Il
clear that the current skirmish
over the poll tax proposal is
only a warmup for a bigger
civil rights battle in April.
Senator Heating said there
is no justification for limiting
civil rights action this year to
the poll tax and literacy queS-
.tions-the only two steps Pres
ident Kennedy asked for speci-
fically.
In his letter to Senator Hol-
land, Mr.. Kennedy wrote:
II share your conviction that
the right to vote in Federal
elections should not be denied
or abridged because of failure
to pay a poll tax or to meet a
property qualification. AS you
know, I was one of those who
joined with you in co-Sponsor-
ing a proposal in the 86th Con-
gresS to eliminate such restric-
lions. In the current Congress
I noticed that you have intro
duced this proposal again. I
assure you of my continued
support for the principles set
forth in that legislation"
The President said the
amendment would encourage
wider participation in presi-
dental and congressional cleo
tions and expressed the hope
it will get through Congress
this year.
Senator Eastland, Democrat
of Mississippi, speaking against
outlawing poll taxes. told the
Senate that Mr.. Kennedy had
Endorsed the poll tax principle
when he asked Congress to buy
500 million of United Nations
bonds.

d.. Craig Pest Control says
Watch Those Fleas!.
Pet owners should be on
guard against flea infection OF
house and yards these hot
summer days. both out of con-
sideration to animals and the
neighbors.
Fleas can breed quickly and
srread rapidly around a neigh
borhood. There are quite a
few reliable insect sprays and
pet soaps that can control and
eradicae fleas before they get
cut of hand.
Homes and yards should be
sprayed thoroughly when
fleas become evident. Many
dogs and cats experience un-
told misery - and neighbors
al-o suffer when pet owners
neglect this all important pre-
caution.
Another Thing: AL creatures
need cool drinking wafer in
the sultry summertime. Keep
those pans and bird baths full
for an extra star in your
crown.

innovation for summer sleep
ing. The device has a custom

resulting in cool, dry sleep

movable for laundering and
are available in twin or

QUEEN - Being out here on the
broad Mississippi River with no
telephones, no kilograms, and no
distractions is conducive to think
ing about the might and majesty of
what man has wrought
This has set me to thinking about
the favorite topic of discussion on
the part of great many would-be
pilots of the nation recently-our
failure to combat Communism. They
have seen Communists behind every
bedpost. have predicted the USA
was on the way to becoming an arm,
of the Kremlin, and some have
charged that because | listened to
and reported the views of Nikita
Khrushchev for two days last sum-
mer, l am pro-Communist.
1t so happens that know some
thing about combating Communism.
having been the first newsman to
report the Canadian spy ring,
having uncovered the theft of the
B-29 blueprints. helped put across
the Friendship Train and the
democracy letters to Italy that
turned the tide of the first Italian
elections, and having organized the
freedom balloons into Poland and
Czechoslovakia at time when the
Iron Curtain was so rigid not even
Fuller brush salesman could get
through.
And having listened carefully to
those who would combat Commu-
nism by preaching hate and heaping
suspicion of their fellow Americans
/ would like to outline my own
seven points for preventing Com
munism. I'll be brief. Here they are:
1. THE ELIMINATION OF Pow
ERTY - When l get letters from
mothers who are struggling to feed
their children and whose husbands
don't have jobs, know they and
the children they are bringing up
could be converts to Communism.
Most people have forgotten that
the young Communists of the 1905
were the product of the depression
1t was those harsh, cruel, heartless
years of no hope, of pitiful men
selling apples on street corners that
brought on Communism, just as it
was the harsh bopelessness of Gar
Jessen's weekly. [volume] (Fairbanks, Alaska) 1942-1968, 1962-05-09

ist rule that brought Communism to
Russia.
2. HONESTY-Corruption in high
places and low places too. is another
way of inducing Communism. A
Democratic Republican form of gov
eminent must be honest Once either
loses high ethical standards, then
is the time to begin worrying about
Communism.
When the Justice Department in
dicted the port manager of Calves
ton, E. H. Thornton Sr., for surrep-
titiously mixing wheat unfit for
human consumption with good
wheat and labelling it Al wheat,
justice was right. The Justice De-
partment knew it must keep high
standard of government honesty.
And when Gov Allan Shivers flew
to Washington and persuaded Pres
ident Eisenhower to drop the in
dictment he was wrong.
The Soviet. in my opinion, carried
things too far when it recently
gave the death sentence to Rus
sian grain official who likewise mis-
branded wheat But they also knew
that the first standard of good gov
eminent is honesty.
3. RESPECT OF GOVERNMENT
This goes hand in hand with hon.
esty. If we don't respect our gov
eminent officials, we have the right,
by means of the ballot, to change
them. But if we lose respect for
too many of them, we may want to
change our system. That's why it's
SO important to keep government
fair and honest, so as to keep re-
spect for and confidence in govern
ment.
4. RESPECT FOR RELIGION -
Some of those who are beating the
tomtoms loudest about the dangers
of Communism are the Bible-pound-
ing fundamentals preachers of the
extreme right, and one of their
stocks in trade is to smear their
fellow preachers as Communists.
The Rev Billy James Hargis claims
that the National Council of Church
es lads and abets Communism" He
also managed to sell the Air Force
on inserting similar charges in its
troop indoctrination program.
