Respect For American Law And JUSTICE

ourselves (The memory of riots and
murder at Ole Miss and the Staying OF
Medgar Evers are still fresh in the
minds of people everywhere.)
In taking the law into his own
hands Ruby has committed a crime not
only against his victim but this en-
tire nation.
Now Ruby will be dealt with in a
court of law - and this is as it should
be.
The panel of distinguished Ameri-
cans named by President Johnson to
Investigate the assassination OF Presl-
dent Kennedy may serve to extinguish
some of the doubts raised at home and
abroad. Let us hope so.
Three of the men are well and
favorably known to the rest OF the
world: Chief Justice Earl Warren OF
the U. S. Supreme Court, ", who was
was appointed in 1858 by President
Dwight D. Eisenhower; John j. Nc
Cloy, 68, a lawyer, banker and diplo-
mat who has served for the past Is
years in special capacities to presidents,
an assistant Secretaryof War in World
War II who helped plan the German
war crimes trials in 1916 and later
served as high commissioner for Ger
many and a presidential adviser on dis
armament; Allen Dulles, 70, director of
the Central Intelligence Agency from
1853 until 1860 responsible. for our own
spying apparatus, a brother of our late
Secretary of State John Foster Dulles,
and now a practicing attorney in
Washington, D. G.
Other membergaof the panel, very
well known in this country, are Sen.
Richard B. Russell, &c, Georgia Demo-
crat, leader and spokesman for the
conservative Southern bloc; Sen. John
Sherman Cooper, So, a liberal Repuhli-
can and former Ambassador to India |;
Rep. Hale Boggs, 40, Louisiana Demo-
cratic whip who was one of the few
Southern members of the House who
worked for Mr.. iKennedy's election in
1860; Rep. Gerald Ford, so, a Michigan
Republican and chairman Of the COP

Respect for American justice and
our world image as a nation Of law
abiding people has suffered in the ira
gedy of the Staying of the President
and it's aftermath.
Veteran American reporters abroad
say no investigation will completely
cleanse the suspicion now held in east
ern and western Europe that Oswald's
Staying was for the purpose of shut
ting him up, to make certain he did
not talk. (Many Americans still hold
the same idea.) Europeans cannot be-
lieve the murder of Oswald came SIM
ply through the bungling of Dallas
police.
Italians believe the American peo-
pie are being ''hoodwinked," said n
reporter. A Milan editor obtained an
Italian-made 6.5 Carcono rifle, Identical
to the one used in the assassination,
and made extensive tests. He concluded
that three bullets could not have been
fired from one gun in five seconds, as
supposedly took place.
No citizen or official should DEFY
or take the law into his own hands.
I That is the law of the jungle, or the
mark of a totalitarian system.
Under our constitutional form OF
government courts are set up to dis
pense Justice and the verdicts of those
courts are carried out after the ulti-
mate appeal as the law of the land.
1t is true the wheels of justice
sometimes grind slowly = too slowly
In many instances = and some begin
to question or lose faith in the Ameri-
can way, in our American concepts and
institutions. They forget we are, in
fact, one nation under God of free men
who live in liberty under law, dedicated
to justice for all.
But we cannot let them forget,
now or ever.

continued to play their usual rock and

morning one played, as usual, one OF
the controversial programs that is al
ways critical of the government.
Across the country and IN much
of the world, Monday was a full day
of mourning with institutions and
most businesses closed, but Jackson
and Mississippi generally observed
only a two-hour break in what other
wise was mostly a business-as-usual
day.
In West Berlin that Friday night,
after 10000 had gathered in the
square. at the suggestion of Mayor
Willie Brandt, city lights were dlmmed
and a million candles flickered in Silent

while in Jackson at roughly the same
time of evening, there was a ceremony
turning on the downtown Christmas
lights.
Saturday afternoon on WLBT and

to our late President which brought

Federal Bureau of Investigation
findings that the assassination of
President John F. Kennedy was a one
man job, planned and executed by mi
man, Lee Harvey Oswald, were report
ed early this week. The FBI also
allegedly indicated there was no link
between Oswald, the accused killer,
and Jack Ruby or Rubenstein, the
Dallas night club owner who shetland
killed Oswald before the eyes of the
world on television.
What the FBI report actually con-
tains, of course, will be known only
after President Lyndon B. Johnson or
his Investigating panel speaks. The
President is expected to receive the
report late this week. Whether he will
make any of it's details public imme-
diately or later, remains to be seen.

Dick Sunders' Comment

This has been a week when even
for men and women who work with
words, words have been inadequate.
How do you express pride and
gratefulness for our country which
was able to take such an unexpected
tragedy as the Presidents death, and
react with such noble strength and
confidence that we are today every
bit the nation and leader of the Free
World we were last Friday noon?
How do you express g~ratefulness
to the young widow whose tender
courage gave us the strength to carry
through what had to be a dignified
mourning and an orderly transition,
both for the sake of our own coun-
try and for the entire world?
How do you express g~ratefulness
for the comforting realization that
most of the rest of the world was
feeling the loss of a President as deep
ly as we?
How do you express appreciation
and pride for being shown on this
television screen the countless people
overseas who joined the mourning out
Of respect for the man, the office, and
the country they are looking to for
understanding, leadership, and peace?
But there were sharp contrasts
reported -.
Friday and Saturday night in
West Berlin, students marched in silent
torchlight tribute to what will now be
known as Kennedy Square while
here in Jackson and some other Mis-
sissippi towns and cities, some students
and adults were openly happy = as
the little Jackson girl who skipped
home saying, won't Mommy be glad'
- and the little boy who told his
teacher, 81 bet my Daddy did it,.
Radio Moscow made the announce
ment of the assassination, and then

Mississippi highways continue to
exact their toll in human lives. Already
we have had one hundred more deaths
this year than during 1862.
A special campaign is on to lower
accidents and reduce the terrific cost
in human lives and property.
If each driver will pay close atten-
ton to these six, leading causes of fatal
accidents in the state, as found in a
comprehensive survey by the Missis-
sippi Highway Patrol, perhaps the pic
ture can be changed.

diverse as state editors themselves. Each reflected in
his own way indifferent point of view. All expressed
regret in one way or another.
