to kill someone riding by in an

actions to date was to authorize
the closing of many military in
stallations. This was accompanied
with the announced intention to
shut down several naval shipbuild-
ing establishments. Both steps are
long overdue.
A new slant in reference to the
ideal Republican nominee is that
he must be an aspirant who has
aroused no widespread antago-
nisms. This reasoning eliminates
Governor Nelson Rockefeller of
New York because of his divorce
and Senator Barry Goldwater OF
Arizona. The latter is more than
little disliked by many union of
ficials and Negro leaders.
The fact that both Rockefeller
and Goldwater have strong sup
port in various areas is regarded
as inconsequential. They are writ
ten off because they have made
strong and articulate enemies. This
leaves as principal contenders for
mer Vice President Richard Nix
on, Ambassador Henry Cabot
Lodge, Governor George Romney
of Michigan and William Scran-
ton of Pennsylvania. Sen ator
Thruston Morton of Kentucky is
also counted among the possibili-
ties. If we are to be limited to this
category, Morton is by long odds
our favorite. More than likely,
however, Senator Goldwater and
Governor Rockefeller strange
bedfellows, indeed - will have
views that are different from
those Of the so called rule makers

then becomes Of the legal rule
that suspects cannot be h e | d
without arraignment?
Nor will it serve any good
purpose to lay part of the blame
to the fact that Mr.. Kennedy
himself permitted the parade
route to be changed four days
before the tragedy so that the
procession would pass through
an area of which the FBI and
the secret service didn't ap-
prove because of dangers from
persons in high buildings. 7 h e
fact is that the President gives
the final orders, and chief ex-
ecuiives have always ia k e n
such chances. Only ten days ago
many a member of the govern
ment services charged with pro-
tecting Mr.. johnson on his trip
to the funeral of Herbert Leh-
man in New York City would
have been greatly relieved if
the president had decided not
to 60.
An assassination happens so
rarely that worldwide interest
has naturally arisen concerning
the motives of the assassin.
Some superficial-minded persons
in the clergy and in political
life promptly accused the eek
treme right of having foment-
ed the crime. The Russian
press was quick to grab tn e
idea and broadcast the charge
that American "reactionaries"
had plotted the deed. But in a
day or so it became known that
Oswald had been to Russia and
had once been anxious to en-
brace communism. This afford
ed an opportunity for those on

and accuse the cleft" especial
ly when it was disclosed that
Oswald had actually tried to
kill General Edwin A. Walker,

of $2.5 million a month for relief.
Federal assistance checks for
$4,000 Cuban exiles range up to

week a u. S. official took a close

John F. Thomas of Washing

target date should run to about

did not mean closing Of the refugee

Il is natural and proper that
political and private discussion
should focus on two subjects that
are currently of great interest:
What kind of President will Lyn-
don Johnson be and who will get
the Republican Presidential nomi-
nation?
A recent appraisal of MIR. john
son was made by an old but not
close friend who observed: "John-
son has the capacity to be truly
great President and will be If he
decides that is what he wants. This
involves change of pace. During
most of his adult life he has been
a successful political opportunist,
fighting his way up and paying
what it took to win when victory
was worth more than the cost.
Now that he has reached the top,
no higher than he aspired but
probably above his expectations,
he has a chance to make this de-
termination"
Another comment from a
knowledgeable person was that
Lyndon Johnson would be his own
man in the White House and not
just fill-in for his predecessor,
but that he would do the necessary
to get the Kennedy vote next No
vember. This includes keeping
Bobby Kennedy as Attorney Cen
eral so long as he wants to stay.
He already is directly cultivating
the minority groups responsible
for President Kennedy's election in
1860.

Others attempt to limit the number
of students S permitted to operate cars
on the campus. In Kentucky, for ex-
ample, freshmen may not drive on uni
versity grounds, and only sophomores
with a certain grade in their studies
can win the coveted permission.
Some, as in Michigan, build familiar
multi-level parking garages. Others, as
in Wisconsin, provide car parks in out

Their reasons were cogently
put; military bases, with til e
Federal spending they bring to
communities and states, are
sacred COWS in Congress. Worse
yet, in this unexampled case of
cutting down in IA states, five
of these states - New York,
California, Illinois, Texas and
the biggest and most critical in
electoral votes.
Why, then, did President john
son allow it; and how does he
feel now about things in gener-
al - and Secretary Mcnamara
in particular? Far from inept
as a practical politician, it was
a poignant thing to him to open
this first hour of diScord in
his heretofore warm relation

The Refugee Problem

to complete interviews on this with
the refugees in the three-month
span.
About 10000 Cubans have
registered at the center since its
opening in 1861 and more than
10000 have been settled in jobs in
other areas. Reports have been
heard that many of these returned
to Miami but Mr.. Thomas claims
only about four per cent have
done this and of these, two per
cent have been resettled again.
Admittedly, however, there is
growing criticism in other parts of
the country against the exiles for
not leaving Miami more rapidly
and going elsewhere. To this, Mr..
Thomas says the U. S. goal is to
continue being as helpful as pos
Sible to every refugee in aiding
him to become a self-supporting
and contributing member of soci-
ETY..
A couple of questions have
been handed him from around the
country, he said and they seem
right pertinent, like, "What is
wrong with the Cubans in Mi
ami?" and 'Do they just want to
sit there and get public assist
ance?"
The answer to that seems easy.
If they don't, they make up about
the first group that doesn't.

Amid university headaches, most Of
which have become gradually familiar
over the years (Such as obtaining new

staff, another has been making an in
creasingly common appearance in re-

It is the question of what to do with
