Holland Land Of Cities
With Gardens Between

Editors Note: Here is another

correspondents living and work

THE HAGUE (UPT - ViSi-
tors to Holland are apt to be
told by a smiling native that
''we are a nation of cities with
a few gardens in between"
It is an appropriate descrip-
ton. Holland is one of the
worlds smallest countries, with
a territory Of only $1,000 square
miles, but more denSely popu-
lated with its 1 ,417, 254 people
than any nation except Japan.
With a size slightly more
than one-fourth that Of Illinois
but a population roughly 1,OOO,-
600 greater, Holland - pressed
between Germany to the east
and Belgium to the south and
fronting on the North Seals
in constant need Of space. The
nation now is engaged in a
project to wrest some SOC, O0n
acres from the former Zuyder-
zee, now renamed Lake IjSSel.
The country'S official name is
the Netherlands, but Holland is
more popular. "The Neither
lands" is a strict translation of
"De Nederlandzen" meaning
the low lands. The name "Hol-
land" is a leftover from the
time when North and South
Holland were the nations two
largest provinces.

Low land'' is the right name
for the country, whose average

Pleasant Land
Holland is a pleasant country
to live in and visit. 1t is noted
for its good food as well as Its

nomic prosperity for several
years.
The main pedeStals of Hol-
lands industrial strength today
are its ShipyardS in Amsterdam
and Rotterdam, its electronics
industry centered at Eindhoven,
and its many Woodworking in
duStrleS. In the agricultural
field, tulip bulbs have taken the
place of dairy products as the
c0untry'S No. l export although
Dutch cheese is known and
popular around the world. Also
sent around the world are Hol-
lands pedigreed COWS and bulls
valued as breeding stock.
Holland is a constitutional

Communism and Madison

The only signs you see in Mos

Samples Of those you do see:
Beware of fire." Put your

"Take a taxi - it's fastest
it's fastest and most conven-

The nearest thing to a catchy
jungle is "Krasnaya svet, Pere-

Catholics Urged
To Reduce Bans
On Marriages

VATICAN CITY CUPID - A
German cardinal urged the
Ecumenical Council Thursday to
ease Roman Catholic regula-
tons against inter-faith mar
riageS as a contribution towards
Christian unity.
Joseph Cardinal FringS, arch
bishop of Cologne, said church
legislation should be changed to
permit recognition of the validi-
ty of a mixed marriage, even
when performed by a non-Cath-
olic minister.
Such a move certainly would
be well-received by none Catholic
Christian churches.
Cardinal Frings made the pro-
posal during council debate on
a document on Christian unity.
Supporting the German cardi-
nal in another speech was la
rio Capucci, superior general of
the Basilian Fathers.
Cardinal Frings said couples
in wl.ch one member is a non
Catholic should be urged not to
marry if they do not agree to
bring up their children as Cath
olicS.
Debate Slow
He added that ecclesiastical
penalties for mixed marriages
contracted before non-Catholic
ministers should be removed
from Canon Law.
Debate was slow this morn
ing, with IA speakers exercising
their right to speak on the
Christian unity issue.
During this mornings debate,
the council fathers voted to
elect new members to fill new
ly created positions on key
council commissions.

WASHINGTON (UPD - The
text Of President Johnson'S adj
dress before a joint session Of
Congress.
Mr. Speaker, Mr.. President,
members of the House and SEN
ate, my fellow Americans:
All l have l would have
given gladly not to be standing
here today.
The greatest leader of our
time has been struck down by
the foulest deed of our time.
Today John Fitzgerald Kennedy
lives on in the immortal words
and works he left behind. He
lives on in the mind and memo
rieS of mankind. He lives on in
the hearts of his countrymen.
No words are sad enough to
express our sense Of loss. No
words are strong enough to ex-
press our determination to con-
tinue the forward thrust Of
America that he began.
The dream of conquering the
vaStneSS of space - the dream
of partnership across the Allan
tic-and across the Pacific as
well-the dream of a Peace
Corps in less developed lands
the dream of education for
our youth-the dream of jobs
for all who seek them - the
dream of care for our elderly
the dream of an about attack
on mental illness-and above
all, the dream OF equal rights
for all Americans, whatever
race or color-these and other
American dreams have been vi
talized by his drive and dedi-
cation.
Now the ideas and ideals
which he SO nobly represented
must and will be translated
into effective action.
Under John Kennedy'S leader
ship, this nation has demon
Strated that it has the courage
to seek peace, and the fortitude
to risk war. We have proved
that we are a good and reliable
friend to those who seek peace

country about equal rights. We
have talked for 100 years or
more. Yes, it is time now to
write the next chapter-and to-
write it in books of law.
| urge you again, as ! did in
1857, and again in 1860, to enact
a civil rights law so that we
can move forward to eliminated
from this nation every trace of
discrimination and oppression
based upon race or color. There
could be no greater source Of
strength to this nation both at
home and abroad.
And second, no act Of ours
could more fittingly continue
the work Of President Kennedy
than the earliest passage Of the
tax bill for which he fought-a
bill designed to increase our ma
tional income, our federal rev.
enues, and our insurance
against recession. That bill, if
passed without delay, means
more security for those now
working and more jobs for
those now without them.
In short, this is no time for
delay. 1t is a time for action
strong, forward-looking action
on the pending education bills
to help bring the light of learn
ing to every home and hamlet
in America-Strong, forward
looking action on youth EN-
ployment opportunities, strong
forward-looking action on the
pending foreign aid bill, making
clear that we are not FORGETTING
our responsibilities to this hemi-
sphere or to the world, nor
erasing executive fleXibility in
the conduct Of foreign affairs
and strong, forward-looking ac-
ton on the remaining appropri-
alton bills.
In this new spirit Of action
the Congress can expect the
full cooperation and support Of

penditures of the government

you that I shall always respect
this. 1t is deep in the marrow
Of my bones. With equal firm
