nent Washington socialite and
owner of historic Webley, In
Talbot County on Maryland's
Eastern Shore, died yesterday
in Eudowood tuberculosis San

torically Democratic section,
Mrs. Walker was a member of
the Republican Party. In the
1854 primary she faced Rep
resentative Edward T. Miller

unsuccessfully.
Mrs. Walker, to the chagrin
of residents from New York
and Washington. attracted to
the area for its pastoral charms,
campaigned for industrializa-
ton to bring needed jobs to
support the community.
She accused some fellow res
idents Of trying to freeze a
whole area down and make it
a rich mans paradise. with
no thought of the poor people
who have to make a living
here"
Concerned With Delinquency

of the National Parent Teacher
Association, Mrs. Alice McLel-
Ian Birney, Mrs. Walker was
deeply concerned with the
problems Of juvenile delin-
quency.
She was born IN Marietta,
Ca, two months after the
death of her father, Alonzo j.
White. Her unusual first name,
Alonsita, is the Spanish femi-
nine diminutive of Alonzo. Her
mother later married Theodore |
Weld Birney and the family |
moved to 7 East Kirke street,
one of the first houses in the |
Chevy Chase section.
After Mr.. Birney's death a
few years later, Mrs. Birney
plunged more deeply than ever
into work she had started with
Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, mother of
the founder Of the publishing

While the two organized the |
National PTA, Alonsita was
educated in q variety Of
schools as she went around the
country with her mother.

The lnvective

Il this was an international political murder it
makes sense only a maneuver of the opposition to
the Khrlshchev regime in Russia or his opposition in
the world communist movement. Khrlrshchev had
been outmaneuvered by President Kennedy on many
occasions, but his policy had been one of getting
along with the United States as Kennedy's policy
Was one Of accommodation with Communist count
ries in the interests Of more peaceable relations
This easing of tensions has been deplored in the
communist world by the more extreme advocates of
east-west hostility, and in this country by the
tonary forces which forever in favor Of using
muscle instead Of in the conduct Of govern
ment and diplomacy.
The school children who cheered on hearing of
the Presidents death reflect the reactonary spirit
better than they know 1t Is bitter piece of irony
that American reactonaries and Communist ex-
remsts have again met on common ground-this
time ground that Is wet with the blood of a great
and brave American.

Criticism and
Experience

One should not criticize the
President of the United States un-
til one has served as President and
has a thorough understanding Of
the problems of the office.
This type of reasoning disturbs
me. Occasionally, am called down
for criticizing individuals or groups
on various levels of governmental
service because you don't know
what is involved"
No one, then, should criticize
operations of any office or group
unless the critic has had service
In the office or with the group,
under this line Of reasoning.
I was once told, when opposing
a proposal by the City Council,
that I should run for a position on
the Council and (assuming that ]
should be elected) find out what
it's like" before criticizing.
In a way I should be happy to
accept this advice. Perhaps, then,
when people criticize something
have written I could ask pointedly
Have you ever worked on a news
paper?" and tell them to be quiet

But, carrying the limited-critic
belief farther, we could eliminate

least restrict 1t to a very few

Was The Assassination An
International Conspiracy?

It is impossible to overlook the possibility that
the Presidents assassination carried out by the
international Communist apparatus. Fantastic as
this may SEEM there are some facts in the that
impress students of international Communist in
trigue.
First is the fact that the assassination was
very carefully planned operation, whether the plan
ming was by one man, or-as seems more likely
several The planning placed a skilled marlxsman
equipped with high-powered rifle and telescope
sight in a window overlooking the route of the
Presidential caravan at the right time. It provided
him with maps and calculations bullet trajector-
les. 1t appears that this took good deal of fore
sight and planning, small amount of resources
and some Connections"
Second is the background and associations of
the assassin: The bitterness of his relations with his
own native country; his admiration for Mar,Iism
his associations with Russian Communists including
quite possibly those who plan the murders that are
part of Russian international intrigue. The assassin
had said he going back to Russia Could
promise have been made to him, by people with the
authority to carry it through?
Third is the assassination of the assassin a
classical pattern in Communist intrigue The Pres-
dents murderer had the sIdlls of the sharpshooter
the, talent for keeping his mouth Shut for keeping
his own counsel His killer, nondescript man with
a nondescript background evidently does.
. We are sure that these and many other circlm-
stances have been carefully weighed and investigated
by the authorities the story outlined here does
not emerge fact 1t will no doubt be because the
authorities have been able to disprove it, or unable
to find strong enough evidence to substantiate it.
Minneapolis spokesman., 1963-12-05
A Crop OF Violence From
The Land OF Hate

Reporters on the scene noted that Dallas was
plastered with hate" signs Teachers in Dallas have
reported that when the word over the schools
tnter-com systems of the children cheered. 1t
has been generally noted that the Presidents visi
to Dallas greeted with appalling messages of
hate in Dallass appalling newspapers.
Other great Americans have been similarly
greeted by expressions of hate contempt and Vol-
ence when they have visited Dallas and the express
sions have come from high officials such Dallas's
Congressman as well as low sources like the Dallas
newspapers
It appears, then, that whether the Assassination
of President Kennedy was planned by crazed
mind, a committee of hate-crazed people, or in
ternaional conspiracy, the locale appropriately
chosen
1t has been said by many respected commenta-
tors that this tragedy reflects upon the entire nation
and that it marks a national failure. We disagree
We are sure that President Kennedy knew and
understood the per1ls he faced when he ventured
into the South We think that he faced those perils
of the duties of the Presidency-that he con-
sdered it his responsibility and duty to carry for
the ideals of Americanism in the very places where
lesser Americans have with equal bravery faced
physical injury and death
Ironically President Kennedy had prepared
message for the people Dallas that was consistent
with his gentle soul. His message preached toll
