Asked whether he believed
Congress would pass President
Kennedy's civil rights program,
Truman said: "Ask Congress" "
A newsman mentioned re-
ports that Negro leaders have
indicated they will stage demon
strations and possibly sit-ins at
Capital Hill this summer if they
are dissatisfied with the pro-
gress of the civil rights legis-

be perfectly silly" eff they are
foolish enough to do anything
like that it will turn those who
have always been for them
against them. If that's what
they want let'em go ahead" +"

we've found file cards for per-

like that.
While in the process OF cor
recting the list, we are also up
dating subscriptions, In accord

What They Fear

Ever since Fidel Castro seized
power in Cuba, the Central Amer
ican nations have been very aware
Of the dangers posed by the spread
of communism to this hemisphere.
Their reasons for urging action
against Castro have been varied.
Miguel Ydigoras Fuentes, the
President of unstable Guatemala.
has feared a return Of commu-
nism to his banana growing coun-
try. To eradicate Castro, Mr..
Ydigoras allowed use Of his land
as a training base for the Bay Of
Pigs invasion. He has called for
tough action against Cuba.
Jose Figueres, former President
Of Costa Rica, and now a sort Of
elder statesman, was one Of the
first to break diplomatic relations
with Cuba when he realized in
1859 that communism and not
progressivism was winning in
Cuba. He has called for increased
attention to the broad goals OF
the Alliance for Progress as the
means for combating commu-
nism's allure.
Mr.. Kennedy. who now seems to
lean toward the non-violent ap-
proach toward Castro, has had to
deal with many in the United
States who advocate a harder line
toward Cuba. The presence Of So
Wet weapons and troops has
further aggravated the situation.
Not only did the missiles threaten
Evening star., 1963-03-17
A Varied Group

Mr.. Kennedy will find the heads
Of the Central American nations
a varied group indeed. They range
from tough and dictatorial Luis A.
Somoza -Debayle Of Nicaragua to
the progressive and liberal Fran
cisco Orlich of Costa Rica.
1t Is obvious that. Mr.. Kennedy
chose Costa Rica for his first visit
to Central America because he
wanted to encourage in the rest
Of the Americas the sort of demo-
cratic leadership and progressive
government that has existed in
Costa Rica for many years under
a succession of wise Presidents.
The other Presidents at this
"semi-summit" of the hemisphere,
include Robert F. Chiari. PAN
anna; Ramon Villeda Morales,
Honduras, and 1t. Col. Julio Adal-
berto Rivera. FL Salvador.
Mr.. Kennedy's agenda with his
fellow Central American Presi-
dents falls under two categories:
political and economic. Put an
other way, It is what to do about
Castro and Castroism, and how
much the United States can con-
tribute to Central Americas
economy.

Origin of Inquiry

When reports began circulate
ing that Boeing had submitted
the lower bid and that military
evaluation boards had recon-
mended Boeing's design as the
better one for a combat aircraft,
Senator Jackson, Democrat Of
Washington, suggested that the
Senate Investigations Subcommit-
tee, Of which he is q member,
take a look. Boeing headquarters
are located in Washington State.
Senator Mcclellan, subcommit-
tee chairman, operates differently
from many committee chairmen.
He likes to start at the bottom,
so to speak, and work up to the
top. He calls the working staff
first and then the top policy
makers, presumably so the for
mer viii not be unduly influenced
by what the latter testify to.
Thus for the first couple Of
weeks the subcommittee took tes-
timony from and questioned the
Air Force colonels, Navy captains
and civil servants who had q
hand in studying and evaluating
the Boeing and General Dynam-
ics contracts.
The early record showed that
the military men preferred the
Boeing plan and that the Boeing
bid. was lower by more than $400
million. 1t showed, too, that Air
Force Secretary Zuckert had cited
an incorrect figure In justifica-
ton Of the award given to Gen
:eral Dynamics.
