Nixon Tells Kennedy
u. S. Must
Take Risks,
He Asserts
BY CECIL HOLLAND
Star staff Writer

Former Vice President Nixon
yesterday called on the United
States to unleash the Cuban
exiles and take whatever steps
are necessary to force the with
drawal of Soviet troops from
Cuba. |
I'VE have got to take what
risks are necessary to do the
job" Mr.. Nixon declared. /
The 1860 Republican presi-
Dental candidate spoke at a
luncheon meeting of the Amer
lean Society of Newspaper
Editors and afterwards an
swered questions from the
floor.
In his first m a jor speech
since his defeat in the Cali
fornia governors race last fall!
Mr.. Nixon criticized President
Kennedy's handling of the
Cuban situation and other ad-
miniStration foreign policies.
Asks Command Decision"
He said the time has come
for "a command decision to do
whatever is necessary to force
the removal of the Soviet
beachhead" from Cuba.
Asked if he meant he favored
an invasion of Fidel Castro'S
island, Mr.. Nixon replied that
he would not suggest at this
time the maximum power Of
an invasion but would start
with political and economic
measures.
If these do not do the job"
Mr.. Nixon added. I'VE must
step up what needs to be done"
He called for a 'fundamen-
tai change" in American policy
regarding the Cuban exiles to
make it clear that the United
States will support those forces
trying to restore freedom.
The United States cannot
for too long a time sit on this
powder keg and tell the Cuban
refugees we are going to quar-
antine you and not Castro"
Mr.. Nixon declared.
Urges Action on NATO
In other highlights of his
speech and in his answers to
questions, Mr.. Nixon:
l. Declared that the Atlantic
alliance must be "reassembled
and strengthened" by expand
ing NATO from "a pure mill
tary alliance to a political con-
federation" with the transfer
of a limited number Of nuclear
warheads for use by this coun-
try's European allies.
2. Called for major altera-
tons in the foreign aid pro-
gram including steps by the
United States to develop popu-
lation or birth control pro-
grams consistent to the extent
possible with religious tradi-'
tons in those countries receiv-
ing aid where the population

Debris Hints
Rush of Fire
On Thresher

PORTSMOUTH, NH, April
20 (AP).-Debris which in
cluded a piece of plastic shield
ing charred by what was de-
scribed as a rush of flame"
was tentatively linked today
with the nuclear submarine
Thresher, lost at sea April 10
with 129 men.
Frederick L. Downs, a chem
iSt at the Portsmouth Naval
Shipyard, said tests showed the
piece of plastic-about 10 in
ches SQUARES of the type
used for nuclear reactor shield
ing on submarines of the
Thresher class.
He told a Navy court Of in
quiry chemical tests indicated
charred marks were not from
slow burning, but rather a rush
Of flame.
Other Debris Found
The shielding was among
about a dozen pieces of debris
found floating at the last
known position of Thresher be-
fore she sank about 220 miles
east Of Cape Cod.
other debris included two
large pieces of padding from
a life jacket used on sub
marines Of the ThreSher class
and several small pieces Of
white and yellow plastic, also
carried in Navy catalogs for
interior use in submarines.
Mr.. Downs said some of the
smaller pieces of plastic also
were charred and, like the
larger piece, had jagged or
torn edges. The debris was
found in the Atlantic by ships
searching for the sunken
Thresher.
Bits of Metal in Plastic
The items were introduced
today as evidence before the
court trying to learn what
caused the Thresher to sink
during deep-dive tests.
Another shipyard chemist,
John E. Carrigan, said the

National Library Week
By A. Holmes Johnson, MD.

A Community Library is a na- tional heritage whose cultural ad vantages are given iiberally to all worthwhile cities and towns. Ko- diak is fortunate in having had public-minded citizens who, with no thought of personal gain, have given of their time to establish and carry on an excellent local library of 10000 volumes.
 National Library Week is April 21 to 28. Let us take this week to give special honor to the volunteer librarians who are giving, and who have given over the years, count less hours of time from their busy lives in order that this very inn portant service may continue. Our thanks go to each one of them per sonally.
 Plan to visit your library during this week, look over the card index files and the shelves and express your appreciation to the librarian on duty. The Library is open every evening except Saturday each week and will have a special day for yis- itors on Tuesday, April g, from 1:30 to 4 pm.

Holmes County has only

Health.
The peak number of cases
reported this year was
reached in July. DR.. Gray
said, although the number
is declining and is a cause
for relief, unfortunately the
rate of decline of polio is us
ually slower than the rate of
upsurge. So more cases can
be expected to develop here"

Government By Executive Order = In Mississippi

ever, if he persists in the action ne
has taken by increasing these load
limits, the Governor will have taken
his place among those individuals who
believe in government by executive
order"
The Union County lawmaker called
attention to the fact that a 1868 sta
tute specifically states the Highway
Commissioner has the authority to
designate highways upon which the
maximum weight limits T3,28O
pounds) may be raised and the Gov
errors executive order increasing the
weights is Unconstitutional and in
fragrant violation of the law as pass
ed by the state legislature.
1t has been reported the state
general legislative investigating com
mittee is interested in this matter and
may take a hand.
Maybe so, but we doubt it.
After all, the state Constitution
has been violated in one form or ano-
Their ever since Governor Barnett took
office - and nothing has been done
about it, by the investigating commit
tee or anyone else.
Illegal and unconstitutional grants
of state tax monies have gone almost
every month to the State Citizens
Council = and nothing has been done
about it. There was an investigation
of Parchman = and one at Ole Miss
of the riots = to say nothing OF the
$4,000 kick-back payments to some
Mississippi supervisors = all OF which
were investigated and given a good
whitewash, or the silent treatment.
When it's all said and done Cover
nor Barnett is going out of office and
down in history as the most contro-
yersial public figure since Bilbo.

compelled to raise my weak voice for

Church leaders in Mississippi are
sacred cows. AS such they are an I'M.

public channel of criticism OF these
sacred cows, is the primary reason
for the inef~fectiveness of u so-calied
church leadership.
Never was this more apparent
than during the recent Baptist con-

hold q convention among members OF

Of fundamental theology, are ridiculed
throughout the world. There will be

if they are disturbed at all by the
realization that they prefer a popular

It is tragic indeed that not one
voice was raised at this convention to

Most Controversial

Governor Ross Barnett is obvious
" one of those great leaders who,
while LAYING down rules for everyone
else to follow, feels no obligation to
follow them himself.
In other words, he is saying:
Don't do as ! do. Do as | say do"
This week he told a heckling au-
dience at Ann Arbor, composed of
Michigan university students and facul-
ty:
"The only thing today that stands
between the people of America and
dictatorship is the United States Con-
stitution as it was written and not as
it is being interpreted today by federal
DEGREES and by executive orders"
At the same moment Governor
Barnett was engaged in this nate-ln-
citing and rabble-rousing mission ito

sissippi a conflict was raging over the
Governors own illegal and unconstltu-
tional %usurpation of the authority OF

through the issuance of an executive
order increasing state highway load
limits. This is nice for the trucking
industry, but rough on the state high
ways which have not been construct
ed to carry such weights = and on
taxpayers who must pay for those
roads.
Clearly Governor Barnett is doing
at home expressly what he accuses
President Kennedy and others of doing
on a national level promulgating
government by decree in defiance OF
Constitutional authority.

ly, he said: Il do not believe that Gov.

Church Leadership

Are we Mississippi editors falling
down on our jobs?
Do we actually regard church
leaders as being sacred COWS" or I'M
mune to criticism?
Because Of a lack of criticism, con-
structive or otherwise, is Mississippi
church leadership ineffective and lack
ing in intelligence and courage?
Do Mississippi ministers and-or
those who pay them prefer a popular
pulpit to unpopular truth?"
The foregoing are questions raised
in our own mind because of a letter
to another editor in the state and pub
lished in his letters to the editor
column. The man who wrote the letter
obviously believed the swe to the
questions would be a resounding yes.
We found this letter interesting
because we are a lifelong Baptist and
it commented on the state convention
of Baptists held in Jackson last week.
Also, our own conscience was sharply
pricked on hearing a Baptist leader
say something to the effect there is no
disagreement or division on any ques-
ton among state Baptists. (Our re-
action was when there is SO much
agreement among Baptists, someone
has stopped thinking, or worse.)
Another speaker said Mississippi
is being lost for Christ = that more
people are born than are being gained
for Christianity. If this statement is
true, and we have no reason to doubt
it, all Christians should be concerned
about why Mississippi is not winning
those it should to Christ and be
determined to do whatever is neces-
sary within Christian beliefs and ethics
to change the situation. Each OF us is
individually responsible to God for U
actions, thoughts, beliefs.
It is in this spirit that thoughtful
Christians will consider this biting,
piercing, letter from one State mai to
d state editor, and reprinted here
with:

will never be published because you
