VIEWPOINT BY JESSE HELMS Vice President, WRAL-TV The hysteria that has washed across America since the tragic death of President Kennedy seems to proclaim that the na tion is a good deal sicker than most had imagined. All must hope, however, that merely the tirades of a minority are being heard, and that the majority of the American people are silent in their rational sadness. All should pause to think. An effort is being made — and it grows more Incredibly vociferous by the day — to equate dis agreement with criminality, and independence with hatred. That’s the word! Hatred. How many times have you heard it in the past ten days, inevitably assigned recklessly and irresponsibly to those who dared to differ with a trend or an advocacy or an idea? The American people need to be reminded that President Kennedy was not murdered by an assassin who was participating in the American tradition of debate. The trigger was not pulled by a conservative, nor by what in the American political dialogue has caine to be known as a “reactionary.” The President lies dead at the hands of g self - admitted Marxist and a self - described official of the “Fair flay for Cuba Committee,” a leftwing Castro - front organisation. And. yet, repeated charges are being heard that America must bear a “collective guilt” for the dastardly deed. A Senator who calls himself a “liberal” says that the responsibility lies “on the people of Dallas” because the tragedy occurred there and be cause there was much disaffection among the people of Dallas for some of the President’s programs. To contend that this created an atmosphere of encouragement for Lee Harvey Oswald is absurd logic, a crude and callous distortion of truth. The assassin Oswald also despised the things that Barry Goldwater stands for. If it had been Goldwater lying dead beneath Oswald’s hail of bullets, would there now be an outcry about “hatred”? No, the blame would simply be fixed upon a depraved agent of the communist conspiracy — perhaps self - appointed, perhaps not — and the matter dropped. So, when our nation’s highest Judge says — as he did — that Mr. Kennedy’s murder was stimulated bv the “hatred and malevolence” that are "eating their way into the bloodstream of American life,” where is his authority for the statement? If America has a collective guilt, it must inevitably be traced to our tendency to misjudge the nature of our enemies.

It, is riskv business to forecast what the fact - finding com mittee. annointed bv President Johnson, will discover as it unravels the threads of a tragedv. B”t soma things are known, though they are being ignored amidst the oratorv about “hatred” and “extrem ism”. When Lee Harvey Oswald was taken into custody, there was a brief scene on television when he screamed that he wanted “Abt” to be his attorney. Later it was determined that Oswald was refer ring to John Abt, whose last public aDDearance occurred last Decem ber when he served as chief counsel for the Communist Party In connection with its failure to register as an agent of the Soviet Union. John Abt for manv years was an employee of the federal government and it is known that he was a member of the first communist cell organization in Washington which, bv a touch of ironv. was headouartered less than a block from the church where Mr. Kernedv’s funeral services were conducted. It Is not o”r nuroo«e to assign Mr. Kennedy’s death to any political sfmu) or faction. But'those who are now shoutine so oious lv about “Wood - stained hands” had better be careful.

Most of all we bad now all best stand together against a common enemv which, in one wav Or another, sent Tee g»r'"s Oswald to do the deed that shocked and saddened all true Americans. 51 P***1 rof of the pWMnut in thte cmwitw ere rot treklntr u«e of the education that )« rmrtvided for them.

Mr. Coates invites those who would like to help someone at Christmas to come to the office for an opportunity. Volunteer help is needed to check out each case of need to determine if it is legiti mate and to find out exactly what is needed. Last year every single case of need was met ,so far as the Committee can determine. Those who know families in need are requested to call the Committee and let them know of the family and its needs. Families in need are invited to let the Com mittee know of the needs. In his report today, Mr. Coates said that 206 families were helped last year during the Christmas season, and 152 have been helped during the spring and summer. Prescriptions have been filled for medicine for the needy sick, tran sients who are hungry and need a place to sleep and help to get home have found that help here. Milk for babies, meals for child ren at school, clothing and fuel for families in need, and even aid in getting a youth out of jail and home for a new start — these are some of the things done. All this is being done under the auspices of the Dunn Ministerial Association, of which the Rev. J. Doner Lee is President.
