Dem, Minn.)
A hundred years ago the great
President Lincoln unleashed a sec
ond great American revolution-a
revolution of political and social
equality. 1t was documented in his
Emancipation Proclamation - the
charter of freedom for a whole
people. 1t was a mighty whip that
struck down the inhuman institu-
ton of slavery. Yet though that
proclamation was ratified by fire
and sword, a century later there
are those that still resist it, and
repudiate even in our times the
true meaning Of that great docu-
ment. The exploitation of man by
fellow man, the denial of constitu-
donal rights of American citizens,
will not be ended by public state
ment - even by one as great as
Lincoln's - nor even by the ordeal
of terrible civil war. Only
through several generations of con-
slant, persistent effort, and daring
leadership have we been able to
approach the promise Of the pro-
clamation. That effort continues
to this very hour, and it will con-
tinue until the last Vestige of dis
elimination based upon race, creed
or color has vanished from the face
Of America. We have come a far
journey from a distant era in the
100 years since the Emancipation
Proclamation. At the beginning Of
it, there was slavery. At the end,
there is citizenship. Citizenship,
however is a fragile word with an
ambivalent meaning. There is stin
much ground to cover before full
citizenship is enjoyed by many
Americans.
The final chapter in the struggle
for equal opportunity for the
American Negro has yet to be
written.

The exigencies Of war finally
forced Abraham Lincoln to sign
the Emancipation Proclamation.
He was always hesitant because
his prime program at the begin
ming Of the Civil War was to save
the Union, not free the slaves. His
original view on the issue was
gradual emancipation to be COM
pleted by the year 1900.

(Denn., MINI.
In the centennial year of the
Emancipation Proclamation we
have reason to be gratified at the
progress which has been made,
particularly within the last two
decades, toward the goal of equal
rights and equal opportunity for
all citizens. At the same time we
must recognize that the history of
the last hundred years has by no
means been one of gradual and
continuing, however slow, progress
toward this goal there have
been long periods in which virtual
ly no progress was made, and
other periods of retrogression, in
which gains achieved were lost or
watered down. And we must
realize that although much has
been achieved in the years since
World War II, much remains to be
done. The bold and ringing words
of the Declaration of Independence,
that "all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain inalienable
rights" are still to be fully real
lied.
Alexis de Tocqueville, writing
in 1885, foresaw the melancholy
possibility that discrimination and
inequality would be sanctioned by
the manners while it is effaced
from the laws of the country.
Today we have at last begun to
face up to the problem of reform
ing both the manners and the law.
From lunch counter to lunch
counter, from bus terminal to bus
terminal, from school to school,
and from one voting registrar to
another we are breaking with the
old patterns and casting off the
old subterfuges and approaching,
let us hope, with something more
than deliberate speed to the goal of
full equality.

For virtually a 100 years we
have moved at less than even de
liberate speed" to make reality
what the Emancipation Proclama-
ton gave us reason to hope for.
Though the past eight years par
tcularly have seen the pace of
equal rights quicken, much remains
to be done. We must move to guar
antee equal opportunities in en-
ployment, housing, education, and
voting rights.
With advances in these areas, we
will approach the goal of democ-
racy-a fair and equal opportunity
for all. AS the privilege and right
to vote is guaranteed nationwide,
we will see significant changes in
our political structure.
The role of the South as a block
ing and negative force in the Ma
tional Congress, will be changed
and we can anticipate making
strides we should have made years
ago.
With the power of the vote will
come new hope in breaking down
housing restrictions which artifiCi-
ally divide our cities. In turn, this
will permit the natural integration
of schools which a free society
should have. And the hopes for en-
ployment, where every man can
labor faithfully for reasonable
wages, will also come closer.
Those of us in the North, would
do well not to pretend that we
have accomplished what we should
have in these 100 years. Our eff
forts, too, must be redoubled. Then
the hopes which flowed from the
greatness of the Emancipation
Proclamation may be realized
throughout our entire nation, for
our entire people. Lets go to work!

My Brother, the Movie Star
By BOBBY CHRISTMAS
West Rockville Junior HiGh Eighth Grader

It's difficult to have movie star in the family My
brother gets Us all up at $3.50 every morning yakng about
all this Hollywood stuff Like being on location and on
camera
One day he came home and said "I talked to Warren
and Jean today" This really funny because he calls
them Mr.. Beatty and Miss seberg to their faces
He has to the clothes every day. because the
scene they shooting supposed to take place in one
day. so there lot Of trouble around the house. throw
ing his clothes in the laundry every night We are tired Of
seeing him in the same old shirt and Jeans, but think
he's going TO deduct them from his income tax
We've heard so much about "Lith" from Johnny that
it sounds as he headed for an Academy Award Anyway,
even If he doesn't make the Academy Award dinner t be
nice to have his movie career end, SO that we can
have our own dinner on time.

The tCriter Is a Seventh-
grader at West Rockville
Juntor High. He tDas one of
many teen-dge ertrGS iDork-
ing during the filming of
'fLiIith." HIS tirSt-perSoH dc-
count OF his experiences tDdS
1pTttten especially for TEEN.
The comment belotD on the
author Is By his older
brother, an eighth grader at
West Rockville.
After spending q week as
q very small part Of the cast
Of Q movie called "Lihth,"
my main impression is that
there isn't as much glamour
a. ! had expected In the
movie business.
There were around 150-
teen-agers hired as back
ground riders and extras for
q big scene in the movie
which was set at q little
town in Montgomery County
named GAINESVILLE.
Evening star., 1963-05-24

Gus. 1t was like q big
stampede.
It was fun getting to meet
all the teen-agers from all
over who were there every
day. tn cast was real nice
to us, and joked with us. I
got a kick out Of some Of the
clothes the crew wore. They
looked like Florida people.
One man with longish hair
in white pants and a Mexican
kind Of shirt Of all different
colors, would always jump
out on the set and look up at
the sky Just before the di-
rector would yell, Roll it."
When he wanted everything
to stop, he'd yell, "All right,
cut It'll" Nobody rushed. One
man who looked through the
movie camera, would pull a
big purple straw hat over his
head like a Mexican, lie on
ground and take a little nap
whenever there was q break.
Good Experience
On rainy days I didn't
work, and I had to go to
school. I had gotten permis-
sion from home and from the
principal to be excused from
school to be in the movie. I
did homework at night the
whole time, though, and kept
up. The school thought it
would be a good experience
for me to see what 1t was like
to earn money.
Tomorrow is my last day
in the movies. I'd like to be
in the movies again, and so
would the other kids. But I
guess we'll never have an
other chance because Holly
wood doesn't come to Mont
gomery County very often.
oh well, back to school and
those California tests. And
that's no screen test.

the background Of the scenes,
pretending to be in q horse
show. Riding an hour q day
is a lot Of fun, but sitting In
the saddle all day, sometimes
from 1880 am. to Z pm, is a
lot different, because then
you have to. But I liked it
because I got paid for it.
All the guys from Holly
wood wanted to learn how
to ride. They asked how
long it would take to learn.
I said six weeks. Some Of
the kids said Warren Beatty,
who Is one Of the stars in
the movie, was afraid of
horses, at first. But one
afternoon he got on a horse
and didn't want to get off.
The most exciting thing
about being In q movie is
seeing the stars and the
crew. I saw Jean Seberg and
Warren Beatty just about
all the time, every day for
seven days. They don't live
very exciting lives being
movie stars. In fact, I would
say it is pretty dull and
downright boring when you
have to go over and over
the same scene so many
times.
Nice to Kids
Anyway, somebody said
that Warren Beatty was get
ting $250,000 to do the movie.
so / guess he could afford to
be bored.
Everybody on the set liked
to talk to Warren and Jean.
They were very nice to the
teen-agers and seemed to be
having q good time. Jean
Seberg played gin rummy
with the staff when she
wasn't on camera. One day,
when they kept doing a scene
over and over where Warren
Beatty had to eat popcorn.
/ noticed he kept eating it
even when he was sitting In
his chair waiting to go on
camera. He must be pretty
sick Of popcorn by now.
A boy I know at school who
had relatives in GAINESVILLE
told me about the movie and
how they needed extras, so
! got my name on the list
through him. Then I wrote
off to Silver Spring for my

All the kids in the cast
were paid $40 a day. Because

got SIS q day. I rode my
own pony. The movie people
set UP q whole carnival for

to run q spear through a

about the size Of q 50-cent

Lyndon Baines Johnson Is Now
 President of The United States

to Johnson.
 The Presidential plane took off immediately for Washington with Johnson, Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Kennedy and some White House aides aboard.
 Lyndon Johnson made his first statement as President after fly ing in from Dallas with the sad cargo of the Presidential plane.
 Before beginning his talk, John- son pulled his wife closer. Then, with grim expression on his face, he began slowly his first statement as President of the United States.
 Johnson said this is a sad time. He said the country has suffered a sad loss and he has suffered a personal one. The world shares the loss, he said, with Mrs. Kennedy. He went on:
 ''I will do my best - that is all I can do. I ask your help and Gods"
 After his brief statement, John son spoke briefly with Congress sional leaders.
 Then Johnson slowly made his way through the crowd to the Pres idential helicopter, shaking hands with a few friends along the way.
 With Mrs. Johnson leading the way, he climbed into the heh- copter and soon was on his way to the White House.

Staying Suspect
 Is Apprehended

DALLAS, Tex. - Dallas police have arrested a 24year-old man, Lee H. Oswald, of Fort Worth, Tex, in connection with the slay ing of Dallas policeman. Oswald was pulled screaming and yelling from a theater in the Oak Cliff sec ton of Dallas.
 He brandished a pistol which officers took away from him after a scuffle. A policeman who was cut on the face in the scuffle, quoted Oswald as saying: Well, it's all over now"
 Oswald, who said two years ago he wanted Russian citizenship - is being questioned in the Kennedy assassination. The shooting of the policeman was in another part of Dallas, some time after the PreSi- dent was killed.
 The officer who was slain, J. D. Tippet, had been killed by a man answering the description of Os- wald in the neighborhood a short time before. Tippet had been slain with a pistol.
 The shots that killed President Kennedy came from textbook storage building which had a clear view of his motorcade. An old 30 caiber rifle with telescopic sights and spent cartridges were found in the building.
 A photographer for the Dallas Times Herald, Bob Jackson, said he looked around as he heard the shots and saw a rifle barrel dis appear into an upper floor win dow. He did not see the gunman. l Oswald reportedly worked in the 1 textbook building. Police say he denies any part in the assassi- nation.

Cardinal Cushing Will Officiate at DC. Funeral

BOSTON tR - A funeral mass will be said Monday in the Shrine of the Immaculate Con- ception, Washington, D.C., for President Kennedy by Richard Cardinal Cushing of Boston.
 A spokesman for the Cardinal said the mass will be at 1 pm. and there will be no eulogy.
 The mass will be what is called a low mass with only the Cardinal officiating in contrast to the GUS tomary solemn high mass of re- quiem sung by three clergymen.
 There is no information on the possible place of burial of the President
 The Cardinal, a longtime friend of the Kennedy family, gave the invocation at the Presidents in- auguration, officiated at his mar riage, baptized the two Kennedy children, and presided at the fu- neral mass for Patrick Bouvier Kennedy, the first family's son who died within 40 hours after birth last August.

 At six feet three, weighing close to 200 pounds, Johnson has al ways been supercharged with en- ergy.
 He has been called self-centered and considerate, humanitarian and power-hungry; a shreWd op- portunist and a political genius; tough and yet vulnerable; vain, friendly, sensitive, flamboyant.
 Friends and others who watched him on his rise over the decades agreed that he was just flexible enough, or human enough, to have been all of those things at one tune or dllOLlltl.
 Johnson once said of himself:
 "I am free man, an American, a United States Senator, and Democrat, in that order.
 "I am also a liberal, a conser- vative, a Texan, taxpayer, a rancher, a business man, con- sumer, a parent, voter, and not as young as I used to be nor as old as I expect to be - and am all those things in no fixed order"

 The President was administered the last rites of the Roman Cath olic Church by two priests shortly after he was carried into the hos pital. A doctor said the President lost consciousness as soon as he was hit and never revived. The doctor said; We never had any hope of saving his life"
 He died about 30 minutes after he was shot :, at 2 pm. EST.
 Democratic Senator Ralph Tar borough of Texas, riding in the third car behind the President in the mOtorcade, told of hearing three shots as the motorcade left downtown Dallas through a triple underpass. The shots apparently were fired from above, from nearby building.

 Doctors said the bullet entered the back of the chest, emerged from his body, struck his wrist and entered the thigh.
