as well as of this nation.
1t was reflected in his
fortnight stand on civil
rights and his determination
to make this a nation of peo-
pie equal under the law. He
knew he was taking an un-
popular and emotion arousing
course in sending armed for
ces into two states to enforce
the decision Of courts IN
school indignation. He was
fully cognizant that carrying
out orders of high courts were
his duty and responsibility
as President. To shirk a re-
sponsibility or procrastinate
on action was Incompetent
sihle to him.
It was reflected in his eff
forts and success in getting
a limited test ban treaty
signed between this nation
and Russia and endorsed by
practically all other nations.
There was considerable hos
.tility to this in the beginning
and spproval of the Senate
was obtained hv the superb
presentation Of his case for
adoption.
It was reflected in the re-
cent flareup on movement OF
u. S. troops over the Russian
controlled autobahn into West
Berlin. A weak response to
the's challenge would have
been -aRussian victory andsAa
bold act fraught with potent
danger Nevertheless, tn 6
President would not back
down, the Russians did. And
Khrushchev backed down
when the President insisted
that an unjustlv jailed Yale
professor be freed.
And it had been reflected
over two years and ten
months in hundreds OF other
instances, some of worldwide
Importance, others on a do
mestic, or even on a personal
scale. The President was 9
compassionate man, a family
man, "a lover OF children. He
was a firm believer in the
dignity and the destiny OF hui
man beings. All of them, not
merely a favored few born to
the purple or achieving great
power and influence. To the
President this consideration
extended to the humblest OF
the some 100 millions Of peo-
pie over which flies the Anne
erican flag. now at half mast.
And at half mast are the
flags of many other nations.
A man for the nation and
the world. The amazing out
pouring of grief and svmpa-
thy for a stricken chief and
a stricken nation which oc-
Cured all over this world the
past few days is ample proof
cof the greatness and the glory
of John Fitzgerald Kennedy,
"a President martyred at the
pinnacle Of his career.

Mr.. Kennedy Never
Minded The Odds, /
Held A Firm Fuith

70 III
nedy. Editor Curtis H. Muf-
len Of the MADISON coUN-
TY HERALD said, in part:
Born to great wealth and
who could easily have be-
come a charming playboy, the
late President early in LIE
became dedicated to public
service. His wealth and stand
ing meant little to him other
than it being helpful in his
quest for position and OPP
portunity to render service to
his country in the most re-
wording manner.
In life, in war, in peace, IN
politics, President Kennedy
never minded the odds that
might be against him or lost
faith in his own ability Yo
overcome obstacles and ev1nr
tually triumph in any undEs
taking or obligation that he
assumed or fate thrust upon
him. M
This reflected in his ability
to maintain and lead his small
group back safely after his
PT-boat was sunk by enemy
fire near lonely atolls IN the
Pacific.
It was reflected in his long
and trying efforts to gain
back his health and strength
even when death was hover
ing so near.
It was reflected in his up
hill and seemingly impossible
task to win the Democratic
Party nomination for the
Presidency in 1860. "A Catho-
lie in a Protestant majority
nation and less known than
some ofNhis opponents for the
office, yet he overwhelmed
the old pros and won The
nomination on the first ballot.
1t was reflected in his all
out campaigning for the Of
flee In his challenging the
Republican opponent to pub
lie debate and his success IN
this venturesome innovation
before television audiences.
In his modesty and restraint
when it became known that
he would be the next Presi-
dent.
II was reflected in his ljn-
augural address. one Of the
most heart-warming and com
aforting. yet resolute and chal-
longing messages ever pre-
sented to the peoa5lr he was
-
TO lead. His concluding aeK-
hortion: "Ask not what you'

what YOU can do for ynu1

ming up the discussion. "If the
Negro woman has a major un.
derlying concern" she pointed
out, at is the status of the Me-
gro man and his position in the
community, and his need for
feeling himself an important
person, free and able to make
his contribution in the whole
society in order that he may
strengthen his home"
The consultation was one of
a series sponsored by the Com
mission to explore specific
areas designated for review and
recommendations by President
Kennedy in establishing the
Commission. These areas in.
volve the status of women in
categories of employment, civil
and political rights home and
community, education, and
social insurance and taxes. 9th

Attorney General Brooke re-
ferred to the graduation as the
end of formal education and the
beginning Of a new life.
1.-THE mere fact that you are
graduating today means that
you are taking on responsibility,
he said, "and those of US who
are educated must take on the
responsibility of the masses.
81 trust that you will go home
not all of you, but most of you
because they need you at home
he pointed out. "They need
women on school committees and
men as city officials" he re-
vealed.
Real government is not OBJ
tanned in Washington, D. c., but
on the local levels.
"Your right to vote is your
most precious right. 1t is your
responsibility to train the mass
es to vote, said the attorney gen.
eral.
He told his audience of his
success in winning the election
in Massachusetts. 81 was a
Republican in a Democratic state
a protestant in a catholic state
and a member of a race which
constitutes less than two per
cent of the population. Your
