81 am Just a Poppy; I am
French. We poppies have grown
in the fields Of France for many
centuries, dying with the win
ter's frost and snow, but rising
again every spring to help make
our land more beautiful. Seldom
noticed by the natives Of our
land, we are satisfied to grow
in peace with nature, each Of us
feeling we are making this world
a prettier place by just show
ing our crimson selves to all
who look upon US. That Is our
destiny: To put our prettiest
shades all over the fields. We
even resented the farmers
plowing US under when they
wanted to plant the corn and
beans to nourish the bodies Of
those humans who had a right
to live and who needed this food
to stay alive"
"We know now Just how
selfish we we're, thinking that
just looking pretty, as long as
we could do that, was the most
important thing: That we whould
be left to bloom in the fields
for beauty's sake alone"
"We little poppies had no say
in the matter, and even If we
did resent some Of our number
being plowed under where some
Of the humans wanted to SOW
food seeds, still leaving us
fields in which to bloom gave
us to feel that we could just full
fill our destiny, never letting Us
know that we could be useful"
"Thsn one day we were
shocked when great masses Of
men carrying weapons Of de-
struction went through our
fields, trampling many Of US
with iron-shod shoes and crush
ing many Of my beautiful little
friends who could do nothing to
stop them. They were met by
more armed men who cared less
for destroying those men than
they had for destroying US.
Shortly there were men In diff
ferent attire shooting at each
other and meeting in hand-to-
hand combat, graphing with each
other and many thousands of
were trampled to death,
never to grow again. Just as
many OF those men, each be-
lieving in his own cause, doing

I repeat that we will not get

the Latin American people. as
/ have indicated above. The
trouble with these nations is
that they have no "middle
Glass;; they are either very
rich or very poor; and whether
rich or poor, they are tempera-
mental. One sad fact is that the
rich do not invest their money
in their own country, but send
1t to Switzerland to be invested
in high-grade stocks listed in
New York or London.
All of the above means that
1t will be very difficult to help
Cuba or any of the South or
Central American countries.
Russia knows this. President
Kennedy also knows it; but does
not know the real answer, which
is one of the fundamental Diff
ficu1ties with the Cuban prob
lem. Geographically Cuba is a
wonderful base for Russia to
have in the Western Hemi-
sphere; but from a tempera-
standpoint Russia knows
that neither Castro nor any sue
cessor Of Castro's can be de-
pended upon. Hence, I believe
President Kennedy is now right

3. Add lot of mileage to the
life of your car : and put
more mileage between the
repair bilIs-by having your
service station install a gas
oline filter. 1t will keep i'm
purities out of delicate car
buretor mechaniSmS.
4. While the traffic light is
red, give your engine a
break by putting the auto
matte transmission in neu-
tral-this saves strain on the
transmission, too.
5. Add up to three more miles
per gallon of gasoline by
changing the air filter (it's
inside that drum-like con-
tainer atop the engine every
10000 miles of normal driv-
ing.
5. If your engine vibrates while
you're standing still, the car
buretor is probably out of
whack and you are wasting
gas. Ask the service station
man to make the necessary
adjustment.
7. On a cold night don't turn
on your lights and radio un-
til the engine starts. The ex-
ira strain can break your
battery's back.
8. Change the oil and lubri-
cate your car regularly, as
required by your make of
car and the way you drive
il. Consult the service sta
ton man on this one.
,. Change your oil filter at
least every 1000 miles. 1t
collects abrasive grit and
the metal particles, carbon,
condensation, and acids that
are the uby-products" of en-
gine operation. IF not
changed regularly, they
could dump their load of
harmful impurities back in
to the oil stream and make
a job for the repairman.
}. If that little noise in the
engine is a "ping!" try a
tankful of premium gaso-
line. This should cure il and

Republicans are urging MT.
Kennedy to do. He knows that
such an event could well start a
world war. Furthermore, Presi-
dent Kennedy knows that tn e
American people would much
rather lose Cuba now than start
World War III. Consequently,
Russia seems to be "sitting In
the drivers seat" at present.
further believe that Mr..
Kennedy wants to go to the
voters in 1864 under the slogan
81 kept you out Of war;" I also
believe that II any Republican
candidate for the 1864 election
urges that we now "clean up
Cuba", he will surely be de-
feated. Another thing to re-
member is that the Cuban
people are 90% Catholic and that
the Pope is working for a
settlement. The Pope
has no influence In

Prouty Submits
New Rights Bill.
By the Associated Press

Senator Prouty, Republican
Of Vermont, has introduced a
new public accommodations
bill that is based on the citi-
zenship clause Of the l4th
Amendment and the abolish
ment Of slavery by the 18th
Amendment.
While put on a different
legal footing, the bill is similar
to the Kennedy administra-
tons proposal for banning
racial discrimination In stores,
hotels, restaurants and other
private establishments cater
ing to interstate trade.
Senator Prouty said yester-
day, however, that its coverage
would be broader, that it would
apply across the board to all
places open to the public.
He told the Senate his bill
would make "the full and
equal enjoyment of public &C
commodations a right Of ma
tional citizenship" It also
would prohibit segregation in
these places as q vestige of
slavery.
The administration bill, a
key part Of its civil rights pro-
gram. relies primarily on the
commerce clause of the Con-
Stitution and would apply to
public accommodations that
substantially affect interstate
commerce or interstate travel.
Changes Not Explained
Another amendment intro
duced yesterday by eight Re-
publican Senators would pro-
hibit racial discrimination I'M
der all Federal aid programs.
1t would make cutoff Of funds
mandatory, instead of discre-
tionary as proposed by Presi-
dent Kennedy, but provision
would be made for judicial
review.
This proposal has been
brought to the attention Of
Attorney General Robert F..
Kennedy, Senator Heating, Re-
publican of New York, told the
Senate. Mr.. Kennedy had dis
closed on Thursday the ad-
ministration was revising its
original proposal but did not
say what changes he had in
mind.
In the past, however. Mr..
Kennedy has rejected pleas for
a mandatory denial of Federal
aid funds because of discrimina-
tory practices.

ing in introducing the amend
ment we're Senators Beall Of
