But the main emphasis in

Answers to Criticism
Obviously referring to some
criticism among Arab circles
that his trip would be political
and constitute Vatican recog-

"Once again we declare clear
ly that the nature and pur-
poses Of our pilgrimage are
solely religious"
He added that his journey
would be one of search for all
those who are, for us, sons and
brothers in Christ
"And our heart will reach
out to those outside the fold
of Christ, and our good inten-
tons will embrace all the peo-
Piles of the earth, those far and
near, with sentiments of re-
spect and of love, wishing them
happiness and peace.
1T will thus be a journey of
prayer, made with humility
and with love. In our heart

The House today voted to

The House voted tentatively
this afternoon to make another
effort to break the logjam over
the foreign aid bill without fur
Their delay, but this decision was
still subject to a roll call.
On a standing vote, the
necessary two-thirds favored
settling the issue today so that
members could start home for
Christmas. This vote was I'll
to 80 to proceed at once.
But Representative Findley.
Republican of Illinois, author of
the amendment which has tied
up the bill, demanded a roll call.
Halleck Replies to Critics
The Findley amendment,
which has blocked adjourn
ment since last Friday would
have banned any Government
guarantee of private bank
loans to finance sales of wheat
and other commodities to
Communist countries.
House and Senate conferees
have submitted a compromise
which would give President
johnson discretionary author
ity to give such guarantees
when he deemed it in the ma
tional interest.
When the House met today
Republican Leader Halleck re-
piled to critics who, he said,
have castigated him for OPP
posing credit for these Com
muniSt transactions.
why All the HerOics?
Mr.. Hallack said he has been
accused of playing politics
and leading a Midwest isola-
ton bloc in trying to take over
foreign policy" despite the fact
he has voted for foreign aid
bills under four presidents.
The Republican leader also
repeated his assertion that
there is no necessity to pass
the the aid bill before Christ
mas when the program already
has gone six months under a
continuing resolution which
does not expire until January
81.
why all the heroics of keep
ing Congress here right up to
Christmas and having members
coming back to Washington at
the risk of their lives in a
Snowstorm?" he asked.
He called it "cruel treat

Jackson And Montgomery - Hate Capitals!

of 1963.'O
But before ~condemning the minis
ter to damnation it seems that we
people of Alabama and Mississippi
should take this expressed view OF us
from a neighbor and determine
whether or not it is true.
Does Jackson qualify as a "hate
Capital?" The idea is most %repugnant.
We might start by examining the
established records of our governors,
and lesser state officials, u congress-
men and senators, and many other
persons who are presumed to be
speaking for the people" Their voices
and our reaction are undoubtedly the
factors upon which the Florida minis
ter judges us.
Were these bitter and vltriollc
people, including the elected officials,
really speaking for the people of Ala
bama and Mississippi? If not, why did
the people not speak up and disclaim
their statements, repudiate their ac-
lions? The people of a state, any state,
are judged by the performance OF it's
elected public officials and those
who are trying to be elected.
Do we really believe that we are
free from hate?
Only the individual can look into
his heart and know what is there. But
there is a Greater Power that knows
all - what we admit and what we re-
fuse to acknowledge, even secretly.
In | John 3:15 we find Whose
ever hateth his brother is a murderer,
and We know that no murderer hath
eternal life abiding in him."
In the Forthcoming season Of cele-
bration of the birth of one who per-
sonified love it is truly time for us to
take stock.

The Johnson Challenge: Our American Dream

government is a conspiracy against
the American people, particularly the
e. S. Supreme Court, the White House,
the United Nations, the National
Council of Churches, the National
Education Association, etc., etc., etc.
In a few more days these people
will have completely ~rationalized the
assassination of President Kennedy
and say he brought it upon himself.
But it is not these extremists
which we are today considering, either
OF the Right or Left.
What we are concerned about now
is the great mass of American people
in the middle, the M~oderates, if you
please.
Yes, we dare to say the word al
though Moderate has been a dirty
word in the Magnolia State for a num-
Der of years.
The vast majority of Americans
are moderate and belong in the middle
= and it is to this group of Ameri-
cans who will decide where this coun-
try is going and how we are going
to get there - the great mass of
civilized, feeling, Christian, human
beings.
This great group, too long silent,
must today speak up and out for what
is right and just and honorable in
order that the affairs of this nation
may go forward peacefully within the
context of law and order. The future
of our country depends upon it..
Your continuing failure to assume
responsible leadership will result in
increased strife, dissension, chaos,
anarchy, more murders and possible
blood baths.

who loves our country to take heed.

Responsible Citizens

President Lyndon B. Johnson is
sued in his first speech to Congress
the challenge that must be met by all
fifty of the American states and all
Americans if this nation is to en-
dure.
John Kennedy's death commands
what his life conveyed - that Ameri-
ca must move forward" President
Johnson declared.
"The time has come for Ameri-
cans of all races and creeds and poll
tical beliefs to understand and respect
one another.
'Let us put an end to the teach
ing and preaching of hate and evil and
violence.
LET us turn away from the fana-
tics of the far left and the far right,
from the apostles of bitterness and
bigotry, from those defiant of law, and
those who pour enom into u nations
bloodstream."
President Johnson is only asking
that we Americans live up to our long
established principles and ideals, the
American dream of equality under law,
with liberty and justice for all the
same ideal held by our late President
and for which he gave his life.
Already the fanatics of the Far
Right, people who call themselves
conservatives" but who are far from
actually being conservative, are be-
grudging President Kennedy the honor
and Difference now paid him in death
- and this before the official mourn
