racy - to respect those
with whom we differ. never
to be tolerant Of intolerance,
never to make a difference Of
opinion a pretext for dis
elimination. It will not be an
easy lesson, but in the re-
membered words Of President
Kennedy, let US begin.
During this merciful pause
in the violence and jealousies
of political strife, we can all
take the oath Of the good
neighbor and the responsible
citizen. But what will happen
a few weeks or months from
now? This respite cannot
last. Angry bitterness may
break out in Congress. And
ambitious men win jostle for
the presidential nomination.
Stern issues will divide the
Nation. How then win we
conduct our affairs? That
will be the test.
We can set standards Of
public d eba lie and national
controversy that will shame
those who wish to snatch a
base advantage by erecting
their personal fears into
maxims Of public policy.
We must remain one peo-
pie. We can do so only If we
raise high standards Of rea-
son and responsibility to
which all men of good will
can rally.
Words once spoken by Ed
mund Burke, so great a
friend of young America, are
worth needing now. His ad-
vice deserves our respect be-
cause he never believed in
impossible rules of personal
honor and public duty. In
deed, he told us that all vir-
tue whic h is impracticable
must be imperfect and I'M
worthy. But Burke defined
the doctrine which can
guide us safely across the
dangers and discords of the
next troubled months.

appealed to the Nation to APP
proach its problems in the
spirit Of unity and reason.
We have been scourged
enough by calamity to appre-
ciate the tragic urgency Of
this appeal. The Nation has
Just been bereayed Of q Pres

losing its sense Of responsible
lily unless the doctrines of
fanaticism are quickly driven
out Of our public life.
The assassins Of national
unity wear many masks, but
they always speak with the
voice Of frightened hatred.
They may start by de-
nouncing the courts, forget
ting in their folly that the
law of force always begins
where the force of law ends.
Or they may make ugly
attacks on our political lead
ers, forgetting in their arro-
gance that in this country all
leaders are our servants and
never our masters.
Or they may m axe the
perilous mistake of setting
race against race. forgetting
in their dogmatism that pref
udice is the child of igno,
rance and the ally of vi
olence.
We must return to the
meaning and majesty of
America. In our national rec
ords stand inscribed in proud
equality the names of many
races. We are a Nation Of di-
verse origins but with one
common destiny. Our speech
echoes varied creeds but it
always responds to the litany

made to fit their preconcep-
tons they readily turn to it.
Nothing could have been
more repugnant to the vi
brant spirit and rational
mind Of John p. Kennedy.
Now a series Of inquiries Is
beginning. One is by the FBI
and the Justice Department
into both the assassination
and the murder Of the ac-
cused assassin. Another
study will be conducted in
Congress in connection with
legislation to make a muir

motives; they can never
prove in the legal sense,
however. that Oswald was
the assassin. and he will re-
main for all time the accused

Only a continuing self-ex-
animation by those who in

find the root-causes for the
act. 1t may simply be that
the cause lies more in the
diSorderly, undisciplined and
callous phases Of American
life than in the theological
concepts that divide the
country.
But one simple fact should
not be ignored. The accused,
and likely, murderer was a
proudly professed Marxist;
he never boasted Of being a
segregationist or a Far

Many Seen Linking Kennedy Killing
To R0cists, Rightists, Despite Facts

his remarks that the extrem-
tiles Of the Right in this par
ticular case carried a respon-
sibility for inspiring the ex-
tremities Of the Far Left.
II is understandable that
reasonable men, shocked and
perplexed, should grope for
the causes Of the savagely
incongruous event. But why
there should be supposed to
be any vague relationship
between the assassination of
President Kennedy and the
assassination Of President
Lincoln escapes nationality.
Lincoln's assassination was
indeed the act of a crazed and
pitifully inadequate conspir-
acy that aspired to control
of the Nation. That assassi-
nation was part Of the great
civil war over the issue of
slavery and the rights of the
States.
All too often, and without
sound cause, the events of
today are cast in the mold of
a century ago. as If the rela-
lively peaceful demonstra-
tons for Negro equality were
revolutionary acts. All too
often the reaction of the
white community of the ma
ton is related to the cause
for which millions of men
Sprang to arms a century
ago.
These exaggerations seem
to be part of the uncertain
national mood. It could be
expected. therefore, that the
man-in-the-street last Fri
day, before the Circumstance
es became known, should
conclude that the attack on
the President could be traced
either to the segregation or
the Far Right issues.

Johnson's Effect on U.S.. Policies

sentative policies. The Arr
IONA Senator is still in the
lead, and the only other can
didate with q chance to get
the Republican nomination is
Richard Nixon. The former
Vice President now will have
in his favor the argument
that he knows Is much about
the Presidency as-if not,
more than-Lyndon Johnson,
who has served as Vice Pres
ident two years and ten
m onths. while Mr.. Nixon
held that office eight years.
Mr.. Eisenhower's influence in
behalf Of his forme r Vice
President may be considera-
bic. as the distinguished gen.
eral Is still a powerful voice
in his party. It's an even bet
as between Goldwater and
Nixon today.
8. Effect on Business: The
momentum Of the last sever
al months will continue into
the first half Of 1864 anyway
and perhaps longer, because
businessmen feel that Lyn-
don Johnson is at heart
friendly to the existing sys-
tenn Of free enterprise and. in
that sense. is not a New
Frontiersman."
President Johnson will not
only study carefully the
trends in business but will be
motivated by a desire to en-
courage a stable economic
situation. He will listen to
the views Of his Democratic
brethren in Congress- who
know that business C mot
prosper in America If any
group controls the Govern
ment-the monopolists who
would choke off competition
or the labor union lie aders
who would unrealistically de-
mand wage increases n a t
force price increases when
the national economy cannot
readily absorb such changes.
Lyndon Johnson, like his
predecessor, is a conscien-
tiouS man who will seek to
serve his country. But the
new President has had q
great deal more experience
with the legislative process
and has today a better per-
ception of the difference be-
tween the possible and the
impossible in Congress than
any man who has held the
office of President in this
century.

RICHARD WILSON

The mood Of self-examina-
ton which has overtaken the
country following the assas-
sination Of President Kenne-
dy has produced both ludi-
crous speculation and tor
tured reasoning.
We can see coming now
the tracts entitled The Con-
spiracy to Murder John F.
Kennedy" In one version It
win be an inverse anti-deseg-
regation conspiracy using a
double-agent Communist to
carry out the deed. In anoth-
er version it will be just a
plain Communist conspiracy.
Additional versions will prove
the ingenuity of the human
mind when stimulated by
four days of unremitting w.
radio programming.
These fantasies are not
confined to the lunatic
fringe. Here in Washington,
simple but seriously-inten-
toned people arrived at the
strange conclusion that the
murder of the President is
related in some anonymous
way to the Staying Of a deseg-
regation leader in Mississippi.
In spite of the simple facts
Of the assassination, there
are many in this city who
will not separate the Presi-
dents tragic death from the
segregation and Far Right"
issues. Their tortured reason
ing is that the assassin came
out Of the same pot, that the
city Of Dallas in the reac-
tionary Southwest had
spawned them all and all
were equally culpable.
Even the Chief Justice of
the United States allowed
himself to stray from the
path Of sound reasoning. The

she didn't know what the

he played right outside the
windows on the East side OF

school is not so new to Master
Porter. but being a part of
that school is new, and l am
under the impression, at this

with his first day. He told

in fact he says he liked

seem to be of grave import

In answer to my question OF
what the first grade did to-

that he was able to sit BY
