Thanksgiving
Traditional paintings of the first Thanksgiving day
depict the American Indian assisting the early Euro
pean settler in gathering in the plenty for which they
to give thanks to the Almighty 1t might be inter-
esting and even amusing to speculate the variety OF
mental images of the Almighty in the various minds OF
'he Europeans and the American Indians at that time
History between that seemingly sanguine period and
the present time records of the most gruesome
happenings in the records of humanity AS Indians of
different tribes does not behove to dwell on what
is recognized bloody and unfair treatment received
at the hands of the white is vastly more appro-
pirate to look ahead and to examine what opportunity
lies ahead The present and in all probability the tu-
ture is that for which today give thanks. say
in all probability because this good fortune and oppor-
tunity depends and the leadership we can OIL

ask only that be accepted equals in opportunity

We are unique in the developing world today. One

nations have been helped toward independence by the
larger powers One of the outstanding organs OF
the United Nations and which is not often publcized
is the Trusteeship Council. This organ is one which

US. Wants Castro
 And Communism Out of Cuba

WASHINGTON R - Sen. Rich ard Russell, D.Ga0, said today that Secretary of Defense Robert Me Namara had assured the Senate Armed Services Committee that this government is pursuing a policy to eliminate Castroism and Communism from Cuba"
 Russell, chairman of the com- mittee, said McNamara also as- sured it that any Cuban-based Migs will be shot down if they attack American ships or installa- tions.
 Russell'S comments to newsmen came as McNamara concluded four consecutive days of closed-door testimony on the administrations $55 billion defense budget.
 McNamara gave detailed intelli- gence reports on the attack by Cuban-based Migs Wednesday on a US. shrimp boat between Cuba and Florida.
 III 1NoHOlAoC " IlOSSCll brushed aside as unimportant a threat by Soviet Defense Minister Rodion Malinovsky that any US attack on Cuba would mean a third world war.
 'If we are going to be guided in our defense and foreign policie: by some Soviet marshall's pro paganda then we are going to b, a second-rate power" Russell said
 Before his session with the com mittee, McNamara had told news men that US. pilots had exercise prudent caution in not firing O. the Migs which attacked tn shrimp boat.
 He noted the boat was not dis playing an American flag, leavin. an implication that neither thu Migs nor US. pilots knew it wa. an American boat.
 we avoid any trigger-happy incidents" McNamara said.

Not Hard to Fire

SPARTANBURG, sc. R - "There's a story about how I got this job but a lot of people don't believe it," Peace Corps Director Sargent Shriver said here Thurs day.
 Shriver, President Kennedy's brother-in-law, said he received a telephone call in Chicago from the President.
 Kennedy wanted Shriver to head the Peace Corps.
 Shriver said he replied he knew nothing about the organization and suggested that the President pick political friend.
 The President insisted, related Shriver, on the grounds that Eff the Peace Corps blows up, it will be easier to fire a relative than a political friend"

Kennedy Lays Down Warning: US.
 Will Blast Cuban-Based Warships or Planes That Attack American Craft

WASHINGTON R - President Kennedy has laid down on unmis- takeable warning that US. fire power will blast any Cuban-based warships or planes that dare at tack American vessels or aircraft
 But Kennedy indicated Thurs day that, for the time being at least, American jet fighters and Navy craft will be restrained from chasing attackers back to Cuba to punish them.
 If Wednesdays Mig strafing of a wallowing shrimp boat develops into a pattern of attacks, the Pres ident may then give the signal for "hot pursuit"
 Several hours after Kennedy ut tered the warning at a news con- ference, the Cuban government rejected and denied categorically" the charge that its jets poured rocket fire near the disabled shrimp boat Ala in the Florida Straits Wednesday afternoon.
 And Prime Minister Fidel Castro was expected to have something to say about it in a televised ad- dress tonight.
 Once before, when a U-2 was shot down at the peak of the Cuban crisis last fall, stern US. warn ing apparently deterred any more anti-aircraft missile firings on US reconnaissance planes operating over Cuba.

If George Washington Were President Today

WASHINGTON LR - If George Washington were President today ''I don't believe he would be faced with Cuba now," said Sen. Win ston Prouty, R-Vt0.
 ''As a military man he would never have authorized the Bay of Pigs invasion without knowning it would be successful" he said. "If he had had doubts, he would not have authorized it. A man like Khrushchev could not understand why a nation as strong as ours would permit that sort of thing to fail"
 Prouty has been reading over the Presidents farewell address.
 Washington himself never de- livered that address written back in 1796.
 But, according to a 1901 order of the US. Senate, the address is to be read in the Senate ''on the 22nd day of February in each year, or if that shall be on Sunday, then on the day following"
 Prouty was the man to read it today.
 The House has no such order, but picked it up as tradition in 1912.
 The House isn't in session to- day, so it was read Thursday by Rep. Laurence Burton, R-Utah).
 Both Burton and Prouty read the address several times to them selves and at least one time out loud before delivering it on the floor.
 Both said they thought that times had changed since Wash ington exhorted the people against foreign alliances.
 q don't think it's possible to disengage ourselves today = it may have been then," Burton said.
 Prouty said he believed, if Washington were here today, ''he would recognize that the policy of isolationism would probably not be practicable because of the great scientific progress that has been made"

Congressional critics were not stilled by Kennedy's orders that "all necessary action' be taken by the military forces to prevent any more attacks like the strafing of the helpless shrimp boat.
 Several suggested the incident discredited the administrations contention that the Soviet-built Migs are in Cuba for defensive, rather than offensive operations against the United States. Kennedy said he saw no reason to change his view.
 Kennedy said he had instructed the Pentagon to make "any neces- sary revisions in standing orders so as to insure that action will be taken against any vessel or air craft" which strikes at an Ameri- can ship or plane over Caribbean international waters.

Labor Reported
 Bitter Over .JFK's Economic Policies

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. R - Top labor leaders, it was learned today, have decided after much soul searching to file a bitter protest direct with President Kennedy on his domestic economic policies.
 The biggest development yet at AFL-CIO winter meetings here is secret session held on the Ken nedy economic program. The labor leaders felt the Presidents pro- posals, including his tax reduc- tion plan, are too feeble even if enacted by Congress to effectively curb unemployment.
 The question was how far labor wanted to go, as political ally of the President and the Democratic party, in voicing criticism of Ken nedy policies.
 The decision - after thorough debate, the details of which are yet unknown - is that the AFL- CIO has prepared statements for weekend release that will hit only mildly at Kennedy tax and general economic policies.
 The statements will not men, tion, however, that George Meany AFL-CIO president, and other tor , federation leaders, including Wal ter Reuther, United Auto Worker
 president, have agreed to conve, s personally much stronger objec e tions to the White House. = From talking with union chief
 it is obvious they are disappointe
 at the domestic economic resul
 during the first half of Kennedy
 administration. Acutely aware
 the Presidents troubles with
 balky Congress, they nevertheless
 feel he could have done more.
 On the other hand, they de cided not to say as much publicly Reuther wanted to hit much hard CT at Kennedy personally in state ments drafted for public consump tion outlining labor economic views. Reuther proposed language that was bitter and caustic against Kennedy, it was learned.
 M eany, however, reportedly urged a more diplomatic approach. He was said to have told Reuther he agreed with every word Reu- ther wanted to say but questioned the wisdom of saying it publicly.

US. Warned:
 Attack Against Cuba Means a
 Third World War

MOSCOW RNDefense Ministe Rodion Malinovsky warned thu United States today that an at tack against Cuba would mean |; third world war. He said the So. viet Union will be in the first ranks ranks of those who come to Cuba's aid.
 Malinovsky spoke at a Kremlir meeting marking the 45th ami versary of the Soviet armed forces Seated near him was Premier Khrushchev, making a rare appear ance in uniform. He wore the uni form of a lieutenant general with several rows of decorations on his chest. The uniform was pale blue with gold shoulder boards and wide gold stripes down the sides of his trousers.
 "We would like to warn the ag- gressive circles of the United States that an attack on the Cuban Re- public would mean a third world war. If such an attack is made, the peace-loving forces of the world will not confine themselves to pro- tests and demonstrations.
 They will rise in defense of the victim of aggression and the So- viet Union will be the first ranks to those who will come to it's assistance," Malinovsky said.
 Malinovsky warned also that a war involving Cuba twill not be waged only in the territory of Cuba but in the territory of the United States, too."
 Touching on a recent speech by his American opposite number, De- fense Secretary Robert McNamara, Malinovsky said:
 s'I maintain emphatically that in retaliation to 344 missiles with which MT. McNamara is threaten ing us, we shall deal a simultan- eous blow of several times more missiles and of such tremendous nuclear yield that it will wipe off the earth all targets, industrial and administrative-political centers of the United States, will destroy completely the countries which have made available their terri tories for American war bases"
 The audience of 5000 included military attaches of many nations of East and West.

BELEM, Brazil R - The hi- jacked Venezuelan freighter An zoategui left for home today. A Venezuelan destroyer escorted her to ensure that the return trip is more peaceful than her forced run to Brazil.

The hijackers have requested political asylum in Brazil.
