God stood 1000 years ago
within the silent walls Of ct
ernal disgust and watched as
heartlesS, feeble-minded men
drove nails in the hands of
Christ. Today the world has
grown both in age and rea-
son but each generation pro-
duces still its cruel men, its
nail-drivers. The nail drivers
were still at work on Novem-
Der %. 1868.
Mankind was struck with a
kind Of grief such as the
world never forgets, but let us
never forget to remember the
wonderful things President
Kennedy stood for. As was
said Of Christ, Truly this
was q righteous man"
Rev. Sheridan A. Lancaster.
A thorough exhaustive in
vestigation by the FBI and
other security agencies is
clearly warranted to either
establish beyond the shadow
Of a doubt Oswald's guilt in
the assassination, discover
any possible hackers that
might have been behind this
manor else find the real
murderer and his accomp-
Ices, If any.
This is too important, too
heinous a crime to let 1t sink
into history with the slight
est shred of doubt as who
was responsible for It.

AS a citizen Of Dallas, pres
emily studying at George
town University. I feel I have
an obligation to speak out on
behalf of Dallas.
I am shocked beyond
words that such a scandalous
incident and moral evil could
ever occur in the modern
day United States. I am even
more shocked that 1t would
happen In Texas. The lunatic
that shot down President
Kennedy represented the in
sane ideas of only himself. I
am mortified that the assas-
sination Of the President oc-
CURED In Dallas and out
ragged that any rational being
could think that the citizens
Of Dallas are responsible for
this tragedy
1t is very likely that Dali
las was chosen for the Presi-
dents murder because Of its
peaceful nature. It is also
most likely that the muir
derer was not q Dallasite.
This murder could have
taken place in almost any
city in the nation. The citi-
zens Of Dallas have unfairly
been made the scapegoats of
an incident that caused wide
spread shock and grief in
Dallas.

While 1t may be true that
the minority has lost a great
friend in John F. Kennedy,
let us not lose sight Of the
fact that he is more than a
loss to one people, one cause,
one dream.
His loss Is an incalculable
one to all the causes and
dreams Of people everywhere
for freedom Of opportunity,
freedom of expression, and
equality under a free form of
Government.
I challenge not only the
American people, but all who
have united in sympathy and
sorrow, to dedicate them
selves to walking the path of
peaceful and harmonious
coexistence, the path our
former President walked;
then, and only then, can his
efforts to cement the frag-
mentS of mankind efface the
disgust and filth that plague
our globe.

Any school child over 10
years old can tell you the
name Of the assassin of
Abraham Lincoln. I hope no
child in the United States
will ever be asked to name
the assassin of President
Kennedy.
Perhaps we should start
here and now deleting the
names Of asSassins, murder
ers, etc.. from our text books,
and encyclopedias.
The names Of great men,
such as John F. Kennedy,
live on in the hearts of men.
Let's not keep the names of
