Near the middle Of the second

Golden knights 40-yard line.

Davis broke through the left side
of the line and into the open for
20-yard touchdown run. With
the point after touchdown added
by Tom Fitzgerald, the Bucs
scoring had begun.
Soon after the kick off, the
"Fired-up" Milford defense
again got possession of the ball
at midfield. On the very next
play, the ball was pitched to
Davis who dropped back and
threw deep to John Whalen. The
end, with his speed, had gotten
behind the defensive men and he
easily gathered the pass in and
dashed the rest Of the way into
the end zone. Although the time
in the half was drawing short,
the incredible Milford team
wasn't finished yet.
Right after the kickoff Dave
Kenton intercepted George
town pass on their 35-yard line.

Under sunny, cloudless skies,
but with chill in the air, the
young dead President was then
taken across the river and under
the trees of Arlington. There.
in sonorous tones, Richard
Cardinal Gushing of Boston, who
had married John F. Kennedy
and his beautiful bride ten years
ago, commended the slain Presi-
dents soul to God.
"Let his soul and all the souls
of the faithful departed rest in
peace" the archbishop prayed.
At the mass the cardinal also
had offered the reassuring words
and promises of the faithful.
"Ltfe is not taken away :.
Life is but changed. I am the
Resurrection and the Life; he
who believes in Me, even if he
die, shall live."
Through the funeral hours,
bells of churches of every faith
were tolled in unison.
Some of the most moving mo-
ments of the service came when
the Most Rev. Philip Hannah, in
the only remarks approaching a
eulogy, read from the fallen
Presidents inaugural address
and from his favorite Biblical
passages.
From the third chapter of Ec-
clesiastes, Bishop Hannah read:
"There is an appointed time for
everything under heaven A
time to be born and a time to
die A time to plant and
time to root up A time to
weep and a time to laugh. :"
Throughout the day there were
vivid pictures that would remain

Secret Service would comment
on the news report.
The newspaper quoted what 1t
termed reliable source as say
ing:
"This was a map Of the city
of Dallas. Oswald had placed
marks at major intersections
along the motorcade route :
three or four as I recall. There
was also line from the Texas
School Book Depository build
ing to Elm Street. This was the
trajectory Of the bullets which
struck the President and Gov.
Connally."
The map may have constituted
what police termed "major evi-
dence" against Oswald in
Kennedy's assassination, but
which they had refused to re-
veal.
The News said officers
theoriZed Oswald marked spots
on the map from which a sniper
could get good shot at the
Kennedy motorcade.
Meanwhile, from Mexico City,
came another report this time
that Oswald visited the Soviet
and Cuban conSulS there last
September and tried to get
visa.
The newspaper Excelsior at

leans permitted to vote were
willing to vote - but surely,
in this Centennial year Of EN-
ancipation all those who are
willing to vote should always

Speaking Of our relations
with non-aligned nations of
Africa and the Far East, the
President said: '"They have
been treasured by our prompt
assistance to India, by our sup
port through the United Ma
tons of the Congo's unification,
by our patient search for dis
armament, and by the impro-
vement in our treatment of
citizens and visitors whose skins
do not happen to be white"
The President described the
waste of our human resources.
He told the Congress: "The
future Of any country which is
dependent on the will and wis
dom of its citizens is damaged,
and irreparably damaged, when
ever any Of its children is not
educated to the fullest extent
of his capacity, from grade
school through graduate school.
Today an estimated 4 out of
every 10 students in the 9th
grade will not even finish high
school - and that is a waste
we cannot afford"
The President added: "there
is no reason why one million
young Americans out of school
and out of work, should all re-
main unwanted and often I'M
trained on our city streets when
their energies can put to good
use."
In a plea for action on med
ical care for the aged, the Pre-
sident said: "Our working men
and women - instead of being
forced to ask for help from
charity once they are old and
i'll - should start contributing
now to their own retirement
health programs through the
Social Security System.
The main thrust of the Presi-
dents message dealt with need
for expanding the American
economy through a reduction Of
income taxes and other means
in order to get the country NOV
ing "along the path to higher
rate of growth and fully en-
ployment."
The income tax cuts proposed
by the President will bring need
ed economic relief to workers
and put more money in the
pockets of the little man in
America.

Case Held Vital to Free
Press and Struggle For
Equality
Mr.. Polier described the
issues in the case as "of the
gravest Importance to freedom
OF the press and to the struggle
for equality, for which an un-
fettered press is essential" He
expressed the hope that full
presentation of the facts and
discussion of the issues would
"soon replace the relative sill
ence by the makers of public
opinion that has thus far blank
eted the case"
Additional suits have also
been brought against the same
defendants, based upon the
Times ad, by the other two
Montgomery commissioners, by
the Mayor of Montgomery and
by former Alabama Governor
James Patterson.
The Times has also been sued
by a group of Birmingham,
Ala, officials seeking to re-
cover alleged damages for stori-
es in The Times by Harrison
Salisbury, a staff member, on
the treatment of Negroes in
that city. Birmingham officials
have also brought suit against
the Columbia Broadcasting
System for the networks tele-
vision coverage of racial con-
flict there.
AID Asked For Funds To
Support Indignation
Efforts
The Supreme Court last week
monday, Jan. y agreed to
review the action of the Sup
RENE Court of Alabama in af-
firming the award of 100000
punitive damages against The
Times and four Alabama Negro
ministers for an alleged libel
contained in two paragraphs of
an advertisement published in
The Times on March 20, 1860.
The advertisement, signed by
approximately 80 prominent
Americans, appealed for funds
to support the Rev. Martin
Luther King, Jr., Negro inte-
grationist leader, in the prosecu-
tons then pending against him
for perjury, and generally to
support the activities of DR..
Kings Southern Christian Lead
ership Conference. The Negro
minister has since been acquit-
ted of the perjury charges.
Suit was brought by L. B.
Sullivan, one of the City Com
missioners of Montgomery,
Ala, who - although he was
not named in the advertisement
claimed that its charges of
police misconduct and failure to
prevent police intimidation of
Negroes could be attributed to

and the penalty"

ana the Pehaity.
He also forecast that the
judgement against the four Ne
gro ministers would be reversed
~ we'll.
Although the 100000 Judge
ment was in the form Of an
award to redress q private in
jury, Mr.. Polier commented, it
was ''in substance a prosecu-
ton for criminal libel. The only
difference" he added, is that
no threat Of Jail hung over the
heads of the defendants and the
moneys awarded are payable to
the plaintiff, a public official,
rather than to the State"
Mr.. Polier continued:
"Such damages are no less
likely than criminal convictions
to stifle the free political dis
cussion' which the Supreme
Court long ago recognized as
the very foundation Of consti-
tutional government
He cited the 1941 U. s. Sup
RENE Court decision, in Bridges
". California, in which the high
court ruled that a Judge could
not constitutionally punish for
contempt a criticism of his con-
duct or decision even though
such an utterance contained
'haf truths" and "misinfor-
nation"
Mr.. Polier said the Supreme
Court had repeatedly made clear
its view that there must be a
showing of clear and present
danger Of perversion of the
cause of justice for a contempt
citation to be sustained. He
added:
at is difficult to believe that
comparable criticism Of an
elected political official may
consistently with the holdings in
those cases be punished as a
libel on the ground that it dim
inishes the reputation of an
elected official. The supposition
underlying the contempt Of
court holdings that judges are
men of fortitude able to thrive
in a hardy climate must GER
tainly extend to public offici-
ais as WELL"
Analysis of Case Contained

Mr.. Polier, a prominent civil
liberties and civil rights lawyer,

commission on law and social
action Of the American Jewish
