News Report From Washington
ADMINISTRATION'S FOREIGN
POLICY ON CUBA AND
? " NUCLEAR TESTING SIGNI
flcant
Washington - The Administra
tion's current foreign policy,
particularly as it relates to this
country's position on Cuba and
nuclear testing, could Itecome
one of the most significant ls
sures of the Congressional
session, though not necessarily
the most dramatic.
Signs now Indicate it could
produce a direct clash between
liberal and conservative ele
X. ments on Capitol Hill by the very
fact It seeks to avoid a con
frontation in dealing with
Russia
Pressure has l>een building up
behind the scenes for more than
a year - dating back to the first
awareness of the existence -of
a paper by Walt Rostow, chair
man of the State. Department^
Policy Committee, calling for
efforts at ,4ac(ompK>datlon''
with the .Soviets. //
Full contents^of the Rostow
document w?re not then made
public arfci to this date have not
bee^tfnvelled.
enough leaked out, however,
to make the document a signi
/ ficant point of discussion dur
ing the Senate's Investigation
of "military muzzling" promp
ted by charges of Sen. Strom
Thurmond (D-SC) that Pentagon
and State Department censor-)
ship was tied directly to what
he termed a 44 no-win" policy
g on the cold war front.
The foreign policy question
was missed again during the
Senate Preparedness subcom
mittee's Inquiry into the extent
and significance, of tlie Soviet
military build-up 4n Cuba.
And if even f?ow is figuring
prominetly liehlncl closed doors
in hearings on disarmament
and proposals for a nuclear
test ban treaty.
What really spotlighted th? is
sue, however, was a speech by
. president Kennedy at Ameri
can. University^ earlier this
month in whi^Ji he spelled out
plainly a foreign policy goal
of avoiding any direct conflict
while seeking a basis of com
promise between the United
States and Russia.
That policy, he indicated, is
based on the toelife that si>efi
accommodation is bothmsMble
and desirable, but .Urn a sta
tus-quo must remain undisturb
^ed and lrritapta avoided in the
process (^Seeking it.
He sj^led out that feeling
wlujir he In part, "we
/Hfust deal with world as It
Is, .not as It might have been
had the history of the past 18
years been different."
And In the same vein he eom-v
mented that "we must there
fore persevere In the hope for
peace that constructive changes
within the communist bloc might
bring within reach, solutions,
that now seem l>eyond us."
He added, on a note of caution
"And if we cannot fend our dif
ferences, at least we can help
to make the world safe for
diversity."
To observers that seemed full
confirmation that the Hostow
policy paper has now become
the official guideline If Indeed
It had not already been for some
time.
That seemed to be under
scored by the fact the Presi
dent used the same ^speech to
announce high-level negotia
tions In Moscbw on a nuclear
test ba'n* treaty anfckto disclose
this country's plans for con
cealing its own testing eveu on
a limited basis.
The speech also detailed the
noconfrontatlon policy whlch^
said an adversary must npt be
forced Into a choice bet^en hu
miliating retreat ana nuclear
war - a clear reference to the
Cuban situation and reasons for
lack of pressure to force the
issuexm on-site inspections or '
wjKidrawal of Soviet troops and
-^Jms.
Reaction to the speech clearly
pointed up the cleavage on Capi
tol Hill. The same liberals who
had jolhed earlier In a resol
ution proposing a U.S. offer of
a test moratorium saluted the
address.
On the other hand, Minority
Leader Everett Dlrksen, (R
111.) called it a "triumph for
accommodatocs flying in the
face of all known- experience
dealing with the Commu
nists." ?
It's sure then, the issue won't
subside any time soon.

Receives Plaque?

Fishing Tournament last week i

Off The Record Comments
*
By T. H. Pearce
You probably realize by now
that I am much concerned about
the way things are going In this
country, and that It Is my opin
ion that our government Is head
ed straight towards Socialism.
I have mentioned numerous
times that, in my opinion, In a
few years there will be no per
souiWreedoin and that the In
dividual will have very few
?rights, If things continue going
the "way they have l?een in the
past few months.
Well, it seems that a lot of
- folks share my views^ ?ud my
concern over the situation.
Possibly you have noticed re
cently that an organization has
been formed in Raleigh known
as Citizens For the Preserva
tion of Constitutional^ Govern
ment.' This goup is made up of
? a number of highly respected
citizens who are greatly con
cerned over the direction In,
which our government Is head
ed and want to do something
about it. [Their aim Is helping
restore and preserve four basic
freedoqjs which they list as;
Freedom from Federal domlna
usurpations and controls; Free
dom from having the privileges
of Individual Citizens taken
away; Freedom from the con
stant erosion and deterioration
of rights of Soverign Sta
tes; Freedom from having the
rights of private property vlo
lated with the blessings of many
politicians.
A group of folks who feel the
same way about these things
are forming a, chapter of this
organization in Franklin Coun
ty. If you are concerned and
want to do something about it
you will be welcomed. Contact
me and I'll give you the de
tails. A dinner meeting is be
ing planned for Friday night,
July 5.
If you are one of these people
who are content to sit back
and say, "Well, you can't dc
anything about it so you just
might as well go along with
what they say," or if you are
willing to accept anything 'that
a leftist Supreme Court dictates
as beijig above- Question, then
We ..don't want yon.
What/We. want are people who
bejieve in the constitution, as
It was written by our fore
fathers, and object to it being
changed as best suits the po
litical ambitions of a group of
charlatans, -and who .will stand
up and state their views for all
to hear. 7- *""r'
Our rights as free people are
^bein^; threaten^., .Perhaps we
ciin't stop It h but' we can. sure
as hell make our voices heard.
If you feel the same way, join
this Y,roup. One voice is some
times hard to hear,. but a chorus"
can hardly be denied.
Do you ever refcd the letters
to t4ie editors that appear In
various daily papers? They are
sometimes amusing. For in
stance of late theVe have been
a number from an admitted
atheist? Quite naturally he had
high praise for the recent Su
preme Court ruling which made
any prayer or Bible reading
unlawful in our schools.
Tlie strange things was that a
certain Raleigh Baptist preach- |
er, long noted for his racial
leftlsh views, In a separate
news article which appeared at
almost the same time, agreed
with this atheist completely*
Wonder why it 1s that many
preachers are prone to go along
with the communist line, when i
It is an accepted fact that com
munism teaches atticism and i
that one of the first things they |
do when they takeover a nation j
is to forbid any religious wor
ship.
Possibly they are that gulk?
H'TIe, blit 1 sometimes think r
there Is a much more sinister
reason for It. Particularly when
one preacher is always among
the first to accept any racial
notion or opinion , that fairly (
reeks of socialism.

TOTAL PERFORMANCE:
FORD GALAXIE 500/Xl SPORTS HAROTOP
IF YOU KNEW WHAT ? I.
THIS "CAR KILLER" KN0WS...Y0UD BE DRIVING A SOLID, SILENT SUPER TORQUE FORD
This steel-edged pothole is probably the world's toughest test
of a car's suspension^We drive mto this car "RTtter jfT30 mph,
locking our brakes as we go so the wheels can't roll through
the hole as they no^frully would. The car slams against the far
edge ot the hole.vvith such impact that it literally bounds out.
If \ou added up the cumulative effect of all the jars and jolts
your~car's suspension system experiences in years of normal
driving.it wouldn't malih the impact 01 one trip through the hole.
Yet? a Ford must run this test three times to prove its strength.
How can a Ford take it? Bei.ause Ford's front suspension has
extra beet in spindles, springs, suspension arms ? in fact, it's
about 20 pounds heavier than the front suspension 01 our
.prini ipal competitor's car.
We don't expect you to abuse your car the way we do our test
cars. But, however you drive, you'll welcome the extra strength
of a total performance Ford. Ford strengih is tested in a thousand
ways in Ford's laboratorie* and proving grounds? and in open
competition in the world's toughest rallies and stock car events.
Look it Ford's astounding record in open competition this
year in the grueling Daytona, Riverside, and Atlanta 500's, the
World 600 at Charlotte; N.C., and in the demanding Pure Oil
Performance TrialyCWlly a car with total performance? the best
combination of strength, balance, precision control and road
clinging suspension? could roll up so many wins.
Before you buy any new car, test-drive the solid, silent Super
Torque Ford. If you'haven't driven one lately, you can't feally
know what a new Ford is like. Make this important discovery: i(
it's built by Ford, it's built for performance... total performance.
