Senate Grants President
Authority Call Reserves
In View of Cuban Crisis
By Senator Sam Ervin
The Senate has approved the
President’s request for authority to
call up 150,006 military reservists if
he deems it necessary. The Senate
acted with war-time speed to
strengthen the President in deal
ing with the serious international
situation confronting the nation.
Russia has had the effrontry to tell
the United States that the Monroe
Doctrine is dead. The Communist
military buildup in Cuba constitutes
the jnost direct security threat to
this Hemisphere in the 20th cen
tury.
Several years ago when Cuba
started receiving arms from Rus
told Rus^^hfh^tfe^was^tTclear
violation of the Monroe Doctrine.
Our nation should have demanded
at that time that Russia stop ship
ping arms to Cuba.
Mankind has spent a large part
of its time and energy and given
of its blood and treasure in fight
ing wars. The United States has
taken part in three major wars in
the span of half a century. Our
nation has appropriated more than
$932 billion for national defense for
World War II, the Korean War,
and the cold war, 1947-1961.
America must be prepared to
continue her national security ar
senals for the foreseeable future.
Twice in this century following
world wars, we let our army prac
tically disband in the expectation
that the world was going to be at
peace.
History records tragically that
the Kaiser and Hitler began wars
when they, were convinced that the
Western Powers had become soft
| and would hot stand firm against
There are no easy or speedy so
lutions to the international crises
which we face. In my judgment,
however, it is essential for us to
manifest our resoluteness to defend
ourselves. I do not think that you
strengthen your position or make
peace more secure by appearing to
appease aggressors. I think that
we must endeavor always to con
vince Russia that the United States
fully intends to protect the secur
ity of this Hemisphere and that no
aggressor Jiation shall be permitted
to violate that security.

Corps, the Atomic Energy Com
mission, the District of Columbia,
and the Departments of State, Jus
tice, Commerce, and the Judiciary.
This week the House is scheduled
to take up the Foreign Aid appro
priations bill, and the Senate Fi
nance Committee at the time this
column is written. Both bills may
cause lengthy debate in the Sen
ate.
This year, Congress has been re
quested to appropriate $4.7 billion
for new Foreign Aid commitments.
I have advocated for many sessions
that Congress adopt a more sensi
ble and prudent approach on For
eign Aid appropriations.
Economic troubles, diminishing
U. S. gold reserves, and the in
effectiveness of many foreign aid
programs justify again this year a
hard look at this appropriation bill.
Even long time supporters of
these programs are conceding that
a substantial cut will be made in
these funds this time.
Whether that will happen or not
is uncertain, but Congressional
speeches are voicing more and more
dissatisfaction with the accomplish
ments of current foreign aid pro
grams. All the evidence indicates
SHOPLIFTING?

County Commissioners
Erase Lot Purchase
Amendment to Minutes
Last Friday afternoon the Le
noir County Board of Commission
ers passed a resolution erasing an
amendment made to the minutes
of the Setember 4th meeting of
the board.
Chairman Ike Whitfield assum
ed full responsibility for the addi
tion to the minutes on Friday after
the Tuesday meeting. .The amend
ment approved the sale of a 33
foot strip of land back of the court
house to County Attorney Tom
White.
Whitfield said it was his under
standing that the members of the
board had agreed to the transac
tion.
Commissioner Johnny Davenport
said that it might have been pos
sible for Whitfield to have gained
that impression, but he certainly
never intended to infer that he ap
proved the altering of the board’s
minutes.
Cnmmtssioner Ralph Daughety
field that he would “go along” if
the other members of the board did.
Commissioner Harry Sutton said
the matter was discussed after the
September 4th meeting and that
there was unanimous but unofficial
feeling that White could buy the
lot.
Attorney White, who wrote the
resolution included in the resolu
tion a request that a lengthy let
ter from him to the board be
“spread upon the minutes.” The
letter labelled the story in the
Kinston Free Press as false, and
the editorial comments of News
Editor Jack Rider as false, because
they both stated that a land deal
had been consummated.
Rider objected twice to the in
clusion of this phrase in the of
ficial minutes of the board. Rider
told the commissioners that if the
Frei Press headline and his state
was abso
