mind" Lewis says, that with
regular practice and q good
coach, a blind fellow could
play almost as well as a fellow
who can see. They can play
in the 70s for l8 holes.
Blind golfers are better
suited tempermentally for golf
than sighted people. They
don't allow the game to ag-
gravate them; they accept
their great handicap.
They're just happy to be
out there playing"
What convinced Lewis that
he could teach the blind to
play golf?
well, I went out one day
and saw the blind playing base
ball. They played well, ran
down the first-base line and
everything. And I said to my
self, If they can play baseball,
they sure enough can learn to
play golf, because golf would
be a much easier game for
them"
Uses Short Club
Lewis explained that he uses
a short club to teach the blind
the proper grip. The club is
about a foot long.
II tell them to place their
left hand on the club, right
hand on the face Of it before
swinging and then have them
take the wrist back correctly.
You must try and make them
understand what position the
face Of the club is in. The idea
is to get the wrist and the club
face-shaft Of the club-swing-
ing in the same position to hit
the ball square"
The most important element
in the play Of q blind golfer. In
addition to his ability to hit
the ball, is proper coaching.
Each golfer has a coach, who
lines the ball up before each
shot and sets the player In the
proper position. He also directs
the players along the fairways,
keeps the ball in sight and lines
up the puts.
Lewis says the blind golfer is
the most enthusiastic linksman
Of them all. When he feels a
good shot, he'll inevitably ex-
claim:
Did you see that one?"

If this was an international political murder it
makes sense only maneuver of the opposition to
the Khrshchev regime in Russia his opposition in
the world communist movement KhrlIshchev had
been outmaneuvered by President Kennedy on many
occasions, but his policy had been one of getting
along with the United States, as Kennedy's policy
was one of accommodation with Communist count
r1es in the interests of more peaceable relations
This easing Of tensions has been deplored in the
Communist world by the extreme advocates of
east-west hostility, and in this country by the
Gonary forces which are forever in favor of using
muscle instead of in the conduct of govern.
ment and diplomacy.
The school children who cheered hearing of
the Presidents death reflect the reactionary spirit
better than they know. 1t is a bitter piece of irony
that American reachonares and Communist
Hemists have again met common groumd-this
time ground that is wet with the blood of great
and brave American.

Criticism and
Experience

One should not criticize the
President of the United States I'M
til one has served as President and
has a thorough understanding of
the problems of the office.
This type of reasoning disturbs
me. Occasionally, I am called down
for criticizing individuals or groups
on various levels of governmental
service because you don't know
what is involved"
No one, then, should criticize
operations of any office or group,
unless the critic has had service
in the office or with the group,
under this line of reasoning.
I was once told, when opposing
a proposal by the City Council,
that I should run for a position on
the Council and assuming that I
should be elected) find out what
it's like" before criticizing.
In way should be happy to
accept this advice. Perhaps, then,
when people criticize something I
have written could ask pointedly
Have you ever worked on a news
paper?" and tell them to be quiet
If they haven't.
But, carrying the limited-critic
belief farther, we could eliminate
all criticism of all things, or at
least restrict it to a very few
people.
Personally, I think criticism is
good, whether it be of the news
paper or something else, provided
it is justified. I think that's what
keeps most Americans on their
toes and working for improve
ments.
It's also an important ingredi-
ent in a democracy. - The Fulton

Loud and clear its tone is carried on the breeze.
May to each and every heart its tone be bringing

Race Bias Inequality, Injustice,
It's time that we our house in order set,
Brotherhood could bring much needed Justice
Beware, lest march toward moral death
Bells of Liberty again ringing
look back or bygone years and can see;
Soldiers of Freedom, marching, singing.
Sons of our Land, Home of the Brave and Free.
ALL were there, regardless Race Color
Their life they gave that Freedom may remain,
Freedoms enemies they fought with valor.
Let's make it sure they did not fight in vain
Bells of Liberty again are ringing,
Their peals to a challenge, it's a call
From God, to a somber message bringing:
Mend quick your ways or surely you shall fall;
I am your God, Of ALL mankind the Maker,
I lift up, and put down well,
OF Life the Giver, yet, also the Taker,
Give Me your ear and do whatever tell.
Bells of Liberty again are ringing.
May the future for all be bright;
Truth and Justice final victory winning,

A Crop Of Violence From
The Land OF Hate

Reporters on the scene noted that Dallas was
p1astered with hate" signs Teachers in Dallas have
reported that when the word came over the schools
Cnter-com systems some of the children cheered It
has been generally noted that the Presidents visit
to Dallas was greeted with appalling messages Of
hate In Dallas's appalling newspapers.
Other great Americans have been similarly
greeted by expressions OF hate, contempt and viol
ence when they have visited Dallas, and the express
Gfow have come from high officials such Dallas's
Congressman as well as low sources like the Dallas
neWspaperS.
It appears, then, that whether the Assassination
Of President Kennedy was planned by one crazed
GIind a committee OF 1Iate-crazed people, in
termtional conspiracy, the locale appropriately
chosen.
1t has been said by many respected comenta-
tors that this tragedy reflects upon the entire nation
and that 1t MARKS a national failure. We disagree
We are sure that President Kennedy knew and
understood the per4ls he faced when he ventured
into the South We think that he faced those perils
of the duties of the Presidency-that he con-
Sdered it mis- responsibility and duty to carry for
the ideals Of Amercanfsm in the very places where
lesser Americans have with equal bravery faced
physical injury and death.
Ironically President Kennedy had prepared

with his gentle soul HIS message preached toll

AS long as we disrespect, mutilate,

The John Birchers are still here,
the racists are here, as is the vast
indifference, and as long as these
putrescent obstacles remain, life

Lincoln, Harding, Garfield, Nc
Kinley, and now Kennedy sue
cumbed to the passionate perpetra-
tions Of hate. Medgar Evers and
the six children of Birmingham

Was The Assassination An
International Conspiracy?

Gt Is impossible to overlook the possibility that
the Presidents assassination carried out by the
international Communist apparatus. Fantastic as
this may seem, there some facts in the that
impress students of international Communist in
trigue
First is the fact that the assassination was
very carefully planned operation whether the plan
ming was by one man. or-as seems more likely
several. The planning placed a skilled marl1Sman
equipped with high-powered rifle and telescope
sight, in window overlooking the route of the
Presidential caravan at the right time. Tt provided
him with maps and calculations bullet trajector
les. 1t appears that this took good deal of fore
sight and planning small amount of resources
and some connections"
Second is the background and associations of
the assassin The bitterness of his relations with his
own native country; his admiration for Mar9cism:
his associations with Russian Communists including
quite possibly those who plan the murders that are
part of Russian international intrigue The assassin
had said he was going back to Russia Could
promise have been made to him. by people with trs
authority to carry it through?
Third is the assassination of the assassin,
classical pattern in Communist intrigue The Presi-
dents murderer had the slcils of the sharpshooter
the marksman. His record suggests that he had not
the talent for keeping his mouth shut for keeping
his own counsel His killer, nondescript man with
a nOndeScript background evidently does.
We sure that these and many other CirCum-
stances have been carefully weighed and investigated
by the authorities If the story outlined here does
not emerge fact it will no doubt be because the
authorities have been able to disprove it, unable
