PORtHgIBSON, MISS., RE
VEILLE: “Now that the John
son Administration is being
firm in its, dealings with com
munists in Vietnam and San
to Domingo, let us have full
cooperation fom the Admin
istration, Including every
phase of it, In dealing firm
with communists who are in
festing our own country.
Those who fail to see the
work of communists in ,the
civil lights movement and in
education, particularly many
of our large universities, have
only to read of the findings
of the FBI and the Senate
Internal Security Committee.
Such information has been
given, along with, the names
of some of the subversive
leadership in the movements”.

PETALUMA, CALIF., AR
GUS-COURIER:' • The New
Vork Times recently printed
the following news item: ‘Ac
crington, England Derek
Jopson, 25 years old, was In
formed by health authorities
recently that he could have
his tonsils taken out soon at
the local hospital He has
been on the hospital’s waiting
list for ten years.’ Is this*
what we can look forward to
under Medicare In the United

CORVALLIS, ORE., GAZ
ETTE-TIMES: “There a-e 47
million families in the United
States, one fifth or 9 3 million
of these families have an in- *
come of less than $3 000 a
year and are classified as
living In poverty. Federal,
state and local welfare pro
grams total $44 billon which,
if divided without all the
bereaucratic strings attached,
could be apportioned so that
each family now making less
than $3,000 should have $4,400.
But then how would we sup
port all those unemployed
bureaudrats? The~e are un
doubtedly many good things
about the poverty program
and If we ever wake up in a
positive mood, we may recall
some of them."
