But he still, obviously, loves

During the most heart-rending event of the assassination of Presi- dent John F. Kennedy, his wife, Jacqueline, was a sad and ma jestic figure to behold. She con- ducted herself with a boise un- equalled, we believe, in history. It seemed to us that God was walking with her.
 Outside of the repeated exclama- tion of, "Oh. no,," when she sud- denly realized that the President had been shot, she conducted her self regally under the most trying circumstances any human being has ever been subjected to.
 Jacqueline Kennedy personified greatness that we read about in his tory. She was stricken with over whelming grief but she carried it with sad dignity. The awesome gravity of it would, perhaps, in- capacitate any other human being. The way she carried herself made all of us love her and grieve with her.
 It made us feel grateful that we have people like her, who display strength under the shadow of a great tragedy. Her husband, John F. Kennedy, had such strength and We are seeing it in our new Presi- dent, Lyndon E. Johnson. It makes us feel little more secure because of their strength in the face of tra- gedy.
 Many natives have talked with us since the senseless assassination of our good president. Their grief has been deep - deep from the heart It showed us that they have unquestioned loyalty to their coun- try When it is hurt, they are hurt When it grieves, they grieve.
 When they saw Jacqueline Ken nedy in her hour of greatest sad ness and how she stood up under it, it was to grieve with her-grief that reached into the depths of their souls.
 We feel little inadequate to pay our tribute through our North Star Award, but we feel we must. And so to Jacqueline Kennedy, whose greatness we have seen in her hours of great ordeal, goes the twenty eighth North Star Award along with our deepest sympathies and prayers for her comfort.

By Robert N. Zimmerman Moose bones beneath the winter

Large, near round |. You need no sound To tell you, Wolf. The storys clear: He travels there: he circles here The paw is wide. And see - his stride. But day or night You catch no sight Of this loner. You hear a howl. You know above the bones, a growl, That weasel, fox, and birds picked

'Deferment' Shelves Bill
To Split Powell Group

The House Rules Committee
has come up with a soft answer
to turn away the possible wrath
Of sponsors Of some bills it

1t announced after a long
closed session late yesterday
that it has deferred" proposed
resolutions to divide the House
Education and Labor Commit
tee into two committees and to
permit television, radio, movie
and other camera coverage Of
House committee hearings.
When newsmen pressed
Chairman Howard Smith to
say whether deferred" meant
that the measures would be
brought UP later or that they
would never see the light of
day on the House floor, the
Virginia Democrat replied:
III give you q l1on-Webster
definition Of deferred. It means
we Just didn't want to hurt
anyone's feelings"
The chairman did not chal-
lenge an immediate interpreta-
ton that the deferral in this
instance meant the bills were

was concerned.

granted premature indepen-

who supported that organiza-
ton.
There is even now snug
Cling from the distant dia-
mond fields. This. too, is a
large operation and Is finan-
ced and managed by interests
foreign to the Congo. There
is q lack of revenue and an
absence Of trained bureau
cracy. The parliament Of
tribal chiefs Is largely irres-
ponsible. The army is not yet
possessed OF the discipline or
training necessary to police
the nation.
Nonetheless, the Congo Is
viable. Premier Adoula has
been TO Brussels. He was well
received. The Belgians show
signs Of wanting TO make
amends for their bad show In
the Congo. There viii be
some aid forthcoming from
them. The United States will
need 10 continue substantial
assistance.
One must always consider
the alternatives. Chaos and
war win produce more ex-
pense and danger than the
cost Of aid to the Congo. The
French and Belgians, by their
refusal 70 pay the special
u. N. assessments made ne
cessary by the Congo opera
tons. are revealing anew one
OF history's oldest lessons. II
is that some nations. like
individuals, prefer to lose all
rather than save an equitable
share.
The Congo Is destined 10 be
the great industrial boom re-
gion OF the future. II the
major burden OF sustaining

Leaders Of the militant
groups in Venezuela, Brazil,

ers that Cuba is willing to

while the amount Of identi-

being sent to Latin-American
insurgents Is not at present
significant, he has no reason
to believe that it will not in
crease. He added:
Cuban financing Of sub
versive operations in Latin
America Is generally effected
by couriers carrying cash"
Mr.. McCone gave several
examples Of this type Of
operation. He continued:
"One Of the most important
Communist assets In Latin
America is a large number Of
Communist : bloc diplomatic
and Cuban missions. These
missions are used to further
Communist subversive activ-
tiles even in countries where
there are no bloc diplomatic
missions.

cases some satellites as well,

The United States Govern
ment spends billions of dol
lars to get intelligence in
formation from foreign
countries, and it has con-
centrated particularly on
trying to find out how much
subversion and infiltration
by the Communists has been
going on in Central and
South America. At last the
facts are coming out authors
tatively.
John A. McCone, director
Of the Central Intelligence
Agency, now has told Con-
gress what Fidel Castro Is
doing to export" COM
munism from Cuba. Presi-
dent Kennedy has said that
1t is the firm intention of the
United States to prevent such
export" from becoming eff
fective. Mr.. McCone said in
his statement to q House
committee:
THE public pronounce
ments Of Cuban leaders, the
daily records Of events in
Latin America, and reports
from our intelligence sources
within Communist and other
left extremist elements
throughout this hemisphere
all agree on one salient con-
clusion: That Fidel Castro
Is squirting and supporting
the efforts of Communists
and other revolutionary
elements to overthrow and
seize control of the govern
ments in Latin America.
Even before the October
missile crisis-and with in
creasing rancor since then
Cuban leaders have been
exhorting revolutionary
movements to violence and
terrorism, and supporting
their activities.
Cuban support takes many
different forms, but its main
thrust is in the supply of the
inspiration, the guidance,
the training. and the COM
munications and technical
assistance that revolutionary
groups in Latin America re-
Quire.

we feel we are making pro-
gress in this regard. It is q
matter of concern. but we
think the operation might
well worsen the condition Of
the patient and 1t would also
raise global problems which
would worsen the position Of
the United States from o

has made that quite clear q

The bland surface of poll
teal news since President
Truman left town has long
troubled thoughtful people
here. President Eisenhower
was helped to maintain it by

his party.
President Kennedy figured
the publishers would be
against him in the clinches
and has brilliantly cultivated

Jdonnas Of al kinds.
Signs Of public disapproval
have been rare. Gen. Eisen-
hover was reelected and it
appears Mr.. Kennedy will be
also. The Democratic Con-
gress which went along with
Gen. Eisenhower is back in
bigger numbers than before.
Now it gets attention princi-
pally when it lags behind Mr..

that the news business put

order to cure the situation,
but it seems to be happening
anyway.

The dangerous situation

This is the denial of news

that the press is free not to

Growth of Costro's Communist Regime
Blamed on Failure of u. S. to Act

A small item lost among
the daily ration of headlined
crises was that Guatemala's
Foreign Minister Jesus Mu-
rillo asked for stricter en-
forcement Of the Monroe
Doctrine. 1t could be used, he
said, to kick the Russians out
Of Cuba.
This recalled that my wife
attended a luncheon of her
OAR chapter a couple of
years ago at which Laurence
Hose, a direct descendant Of
President Monroe. spoke. He
told the Daughters that he
had been attempting to have
a postage stamp made to
commemorate the Monroe
Doctrine. He visited several
offices in the State Depart
ment on this project and in
each was told: I'VE don't
talk about the Monroe Doc
trine around here any more;
all the Latin American
countries hate it. They re-
member that we used the
Doctrine as an excuse to
send United States Marines
down there to interfere in
their internal affairs"
However, had we used the
Doctrine in 1858, a small con-
tingent Of United States
Marines could have ousted
Fidel Castro and his few
guerrillas from the noun

Of sparkling a nuclear war.
