Economic Pleasures

RECOMMENDATIONS to President
Kennedy by the Civil Rights Com
mission asked that all federal funds,
such as aids to highway construction,
rivers and harbors, defense plants, ETC.,
be withheld from the State of Missis-
sippi until and unless all restrictions
on registering and voting were eliminat-
ed. In other words, it is recommended
that the law and the Constitution be re-
placed by economic pressures. The peo-
pie Of the State of Mississippi would be
proceeded against economically instead
of by law.
The parents of Prince Edward Coun-
ty, white and Negro, have experienced
this new type of government by econo-
mic pressures in the withholding of
scholarships, valid under Virginia law,
for the education of their children
Under the present system of govern
ment the Constitution would be replac-
ed by Presidential directives in the case
of Mississippi, and has been overridden
by judicial injunction in the case of
Prince Edward County.
Our nation is on dangerous ground
in either event.

Cold War Losses

THE loss of nuclear attack sub
marine is serious matter and while
the case of the vanished Thresher is
not vet solved some of the story seems
pretty clear
The submarine was practicing deep
dive in a deep sea. Something in the
boat either failed, or someone failed
or the boat rammed an object or an
other boat
The possibility that another subma-
rine was rammed is fantastic one,
though in World War II submarines
often spotted their adversaries and
sometimes fought submarine duels with
them. Though the Russians would like
~ remain silent in the case of such an
accident, chances seem small that
ThresLer struck another boat, especial
ly since she was diving very deep.
There are only two other u S. subs
of the Thresher's class and only small
number of nuclear attack submarines
in operation, so the loss of this boat,
which was thought to be the fastest
and deepest-diving boat in the world is
a heavy one
The loss of these trained and dedic-
ated officers and men and this fine nu-
clear submarine is tremendous loss
to the Navy and to our security pro-
gram 1t should remind every citizen
that while most of us live a peaceful and
protected life, there are others constant

Economic Stability
REPRESENTATIVE Otto Passman

REPRESENTATIVE Otto Passman,
Louisiana Democrat, surprised a num-
Der Of his fellow legislators with the
bluntness of his recent comment on Sec
rotary of State Dean Rusk's testimony
in behalf of the current Is billion dol
lar foreign aid bill.
Rusk, the controversial head of the
number-one executive department, gave
the usual communist scare" argument
in trying to convince Congress to vote
another big foreign aid bill. He said
communism was ready to move into the
vacuum if we reduced our aid
Passman, who has devoted years to
an effort to analyze the effectiveness
of foreign aid, and reduce it, said of
Rusk's testimony: HE doesn't know
what he is talking about"
Passman says the way for us to OPP
pose communism is to remain strong,
economically as we'll as militarily, and
he says the economy cannot afford the
luxury of another huge wasteful and
ineffective foreign aid slush fund -
since we face a major deficit and seri-
Gus pressure on the dollar He is right.

4 Of The United States is with re-
spect to Socialism, it desires to
live in peace with Cuba. The
Cuban government has often de-
clared that it wants peaceful re-
lationS with The United States.
Such a declaration by the
Kennedy Administration, and its
enforcement within the Penta-
gon and The CHA would have
the overwhelming support Of the
American people.
1T would expose the war
hawks as betrayers of our lives
and our security. and would pre-
vent our land being used as the
base for Batista-type killers who
want to drown the new Cuba in
blood, and to restore the old ex-
ploitation.''

there were sentimental cheers and tears
as Scots waved goodbye to the Polaris

The ship had been stationed at Holy

200 members of the Proteus' company
transferred to her replacement ship and
remained in Scotland rather than sail
for home. And another group had to
leave and sail away against their wishes.

THE PAY-OFF - Senator Ted
Kennedy still has a long way to
go to make good on his cam
palgn promise Ito do more for

pioneering henchmen already are
cashing in handsomely.
Latest to do SO is Edward
Moss. former manager of the
Worcester office of the New
England Telephone & Telegraph
Co.. who has been given
$4,000 job as civilian aide to
Army Secretary Cyrus Vance.

fairs around the country"
Moss owes this juicy patron
age plum entirely to Senator
Kennedy.

in his slam-bang drive for the
Democratic senatorial nomina-

Mrs. Gertrude Daley, Berk-
shire, Mass, delegat esupport-
ing former State Attorney Gen
eral Edward Mccormack, charg-
ed Moss told her PreSi den
Kennedy would telephone her if
she would switch to his brother.
The incident as related by Mrs.
Daley is as follows:
Moss came to my apartment
and spent a lot of time trying
to get me to switch to Ted Ken
ndy. I told him l loved the Ken
nedys, but that nough is
enough. Also that I didn't think
Ted had any experience, while
Eddie Mccormack is older and
has come up through the ranks.
Moss even tried to get my
daughter-ln-laW to persuade me
to change over. But she would
not interfere.
"A few days later, he called
and asked if l would change my
mind if the President himself
phoned and asked me to vote for
Ted. Moss said he could arrange
such a call quite easily. | told
him no"
This published account was
termed utterly ridiculous by
Moss. He admitted trying to in
duce Mrs. Daley to shift to
young Kennedy. but fatty de-

President name"

WASHINGTON, D. G., ADJ

WASHINGTON, D. c., April
q m Thos eangry State Depart
ment denials Notwithstanding
President Kennedy is saying
things privately regarding Cuba
that he is giving no hint OF pub
icly.
An indisputable illustration is
his statement to a score of edi-
tors that Fidel Castro may be
aSSaSSinated.
The P re S j d e n made this
startling forecast at a recent
White House luncheon for Mary
land and Delaware editors. At
the time, there was no disclo-
sure of what he said.
Subsequently. Roger Farquhar,
editor Of the Montgomery, Md,
Sentinel. published a detailed
and glowing account of this
meeting. Obviously greatly i'm
pressed at dining with the Presi-
dent, Farquhar wrote about him
and his comments in most
friendly vein.
For that reason. the Maryland
editors disclosures are particu-
larly significant. He cannot be
charged with giving a critical
account. Following is his report
of the President remarks re-
garding Cuba and Castro:
During the 80 minutes the
President lunched with US, he
covered a wide range of sub
jectS. He is obviously proud of
the major setback the Commm-
lists suffered as a result of the
missile withdrawal. An Ameri-
can President, if he were sub
jected to such an indignity would
be lmpeached, he said.
The Russian withdrawal from
Cuba hurt Castro and the Cuban
dictator may have been destroy
ed as a symbol. The President
put forth strong arg n
against outright invasion of
Cuba by the United States.
Many innocent Cubans would be
killed if that were to happen, he
said.
And he added that there are
signs of unrest in Cuba that
could topple Castro, possibly
even lead to his assassination
ITO a question as to whether
he would prefer to have a few
Russians stay in Cuba, rather
than have a completely unpre-
dlctable Castro solely in charge,
the President said firmly he be-
heveS it would be better if all
the Russians got out.
Farquhar relates the President
feels definite gains have been
made against the Communists
in Laos, Berlin and Cuba" What
these alleged gains are was not
indicated.
The President also expressed
impatience," reports Farquhar,
with those who oppose him on
trying to work out a test ban,
and he cited the Illustrations of
trying to negotiate disarmament
with the Communists.
The charmed editor, with I'M
abashed pride. told his readers
that "about a dozen walters how
cred around the table bringing
good-taSting things that were de-
Scrlbed in French on the menu"
and that lust before the finger
bowls and the dessert (Vachelin
glace Mckao arrived. the Presi-
dent started by saying he was
honored to have us there"
Farquhar concludes his flatter-
ing recital with, 1T was an ex-
perience none of us will ever
forget"

Secret Deal With Russia?

What is the truth? Has this
Administration entered into a
secre. deal with Soviet Russia,
are we playing the Communist
game? Has America become a
pawn Of the Krenlin's grand de-
sign to Sovietize the world?
Consider three pieces of evi-
dence as they pertain to Cuba:
On April l, Congressman Bill
Stinson Of the State of Washing
ton spoke in the House. This is
what he said:
Mr.. Speaker. it is disturb
ing to me that the United States
is taking measures to prevent
Cuban atr IS from taking
sanctuary in any area of the
Caribbean after launching at
tackS upon the Communist re-
gine in Cuba.
Are we to be in the fantastic
position of not only eliminating
the possibility of not invading
Cuba ourselves but also of in
surfing that the Cuban patriots
will not be allowed to hberate
themselves? Are we to abandon
permanently the freedOm-cra
ing people of Cuba?
The United States accepted
the principle of sanctuary when
we allowed the Red Chinese to
attack us from across the Yalu
river in Korea. We accept the
principle of sanctuary in South
Wet Nam when we allow the
Communists to escape across
the border into North Wet Nam.
The aggreSSOrS in Angola were
permitted to escape across the
Congo River into the Congo Re-
public When France was locked
in conflict in Algeria, they per-
united the revolutionaries sane
tuary in Tumsia. And, finally,
Cuba has been established as
the Communist sanctuary from
which to Subvert all of South
and Central America.
What a double standard we
have"
That same day, April |, Con-
gresham August Jobansen Of
Michigan read into the record a
telegram he had sent the Presl-
dent: We must end the harass-
ment, which this government
has carried on of liberty loving
antl-CaStro forces in Cuba and
in other lands. While we cannot
violate international law, we
must recognize that these exiles
and rebels represent the real
voice Of Cuba, and should not
be constantly handicapped by
our Immigration and Justice De-
partnent authorities.
Congressman Johansen said he
hoped his telegram actually
reaches the President S desk. /.

tlrety, is verbatim quotation of
a public statement made in
