Soviet Position in Cuba Is Violation of Monroe Doctrine Ervin Says By senator Sam Emi How serious is the Soviet-Cuba military threat? This question ec hoed in Capitol corridors and in the Senate last week. It brought charges and counter-charges from Senators and Administration. The new Congress confronted by seven Presidential messages, in cluding proposals for farm, educa tion, and mental health programs, awaited the investigation to be conducted by the Senate Armed Services Preparedness Subcommit tee for a clearer answer. The Subcommittee is headed by the very able Senator John Sten nis of Mississippi who has demon strated his ability on other occa sions to conduct such an investi gation with regard to the national interest I am satisfied that this Subcom mittee will make a fair investiga tion of reports of a continuing mil itary build-up in Cuba and in due Take Car for Taxes Jonas Brown of Pollocksville was temporarily grounded last week by Jones County Tax Collector Julian Waller. Brown had failed to pay his Jones County taxes for a six - year period. So Tax Collector Wall er levied on and took possession of Brown's 1959 Ford automobile^ which would have been sold at auc tion to satisfy his tax payment. This didn’t prove necessary, how ever, since Brown got up the money for hia taxes and bailed his flivver „ ■ .. ■ '■■■ — NORFOLK CHARGE Leo Foskey of 800 Forest Street was picked up by Kinston police last week on a Norfolk warrant that charged him with breaking, entering and larceny. course will irtTOftn the American people of its fiMmgs. The unfortunate Cuban situation arises out of the United States not using the Monroe Doctrine. This nation ought to have firm foreign policies. I am milch concerned about Soviet forces WrCvfca. Ever since we learned Russia and her satellites were' 'shaping arms to Cuba, I have, the following position: (1) That the United States should declare that such action constitutes an invasion, of the .Western Hem isphere ift'VtOtatfcttobf the Monroe Doctrine. I see no useful purpose in distinguishing in the present circumstances between shipments of “defensive”, and “offensive” weap ons to Cuba. (2) That the United States should make demand upon Russia and her satellites tp cease forthwith to make such shipments and impose a com plete blockade of Cuba in case the demand is not complied with. The United States ought to state that what is going on in Cuba is a violation of the Monroe Doctrine, and that in essence, the Western Hemisphere is invaded by an out side power. It is certainly an in vasion of the Western Hemisphere for Russia to have 16 to 17 thous and armed men and technicians stationed in Cuba. No amount of sophistry can erase that plain fact. I am not satisfied with the in spection we made of the ships that were allegedly taking missiles out of Cuba. It is certain that Russian forces are not being kept in Cuba for any pro-American purpose. I am confident that Senator Stennis and his Subcommittee will go to the bottom of the Cuban af fair and find out the truth as far as it can be learned. I am convinc ed that the United States would occupy a much safer position in this precarious world if it adopted the two-fold policy which I have stated above and would adhere to it without deviation. Alone on 13 Acres, His Secret Emerges with *15,000Gift (Reprinted from The Hertford Hearid) COFIELD — For 33 years Quincy A. Whitaker has lived in solitude on Route 3, Aihoskie. Last month, First Baptist Church of Murfreesboro received a check in the amount of $15,000. It was signed by Quincy A. Whitaker.

Secret of Wealth The gift of $15JX)0 during Jan uary uncovered Whitaker's" Secret of wealth. Little did anyone know the man who every week bartered chicken eggs for groceries at Co field could afford more than moat of those people who held compas sion for him. As a bachelor, the 60-year-old fanner lives without luxury. The thin edge of existence visible to neighbors, friends and relatives ac tually is considered by Whitaker all he need# ,<or enjoying a full life: Where does a man get $15,000 to give away when he scratches 13 “I am satisfied as I am,” Whit aker explained in a soft voice. Whitaker reluctantly allowed Your Home Newspaper reporter to crack 33 years of pride in discov ering source of the church dona tion. Savings Bonds ‘‘I cashed in savings bonds,” he said. Further investigation revealed the benefactor cashed in seven bonds — pn.e $10,000 bond and six $1,000 bonds —. fo 'aid.the. Murfreesboro 000 bond had not- matured but was govemihierit * investrneSits was'. 14 years. "Well, I thought it would be easier on the church and more economical if the six percent bank interest could be avoided," Whitaker point ed, out when asked why he decided to give the large sum of money. Attends PhlUipi Although a member of Murfrees boro’s First Baptist Church, Whit aker usually attends Phillipi Bap tist Churchat Cofield because it is nearer and transportation more readily available. He became a member of die Murfreesboro church as a child, one of 13 in the home of G. F. C Whitaker. A-.:.. Quincy Whitaker left home at unseen farm in Hertford County. His father^ contacted by mail, handled details of purchasing a farm near Cofield and recorded the deed at the courthouse. One year fetter, in 1929, after saving more money for purpose of building a house, Quincy Whitaker returned to Hertford County and the farm he owned. Builder of the three-room house, John 0. Cox of Murfreesboro, died last week. Continued Savings Settled on the farm, Whitaker continued his money-saving habit and by mail invested In V. S. 'S4v-‘ higs Bonds" with profits' from 5V£ acres of peanuts, 2Vi acres cotton, 4Yi acres corn and less than one half acre of tobacco. Usually, pur chase of a $1,000 bond is made an nually with the largest single bond being the $10,000 one included in the group cashed in for the church. Whitaker’s first mail order bond purchase was made in 1937. How did Quincy Whitaker’s $15, 000 gift to the church leave him financially? He confided there was' Still more money in savings bonds than the amount cashed- in. “I left myself safe,” he smiled. Qther Contributions. t Previously, during recent years, Whitaker contributed $1,200 in scheduled amounts pf $200 and $300 for credit to the building fund. The church has just Completed a reno vation project which included brick veneering. Whitaker does not claim any in parlaying the small farm suable holding of accessible "I start work around sunrise 1 or a little later depending on what there is to be done and go to bed bed around eight or nine o’clock at night,” he explained. Successful Crops The tall, unpretentious farmer tonfessed he grows successful crops without the help of advice from the county agent. Instead, he relies upon weather cycles and almanac signs for planting and cultivating. ‘‘My father was a sign man,” Whitaker commented. On the farm, Whitaker has had lit mules since 1929 — the animals one> at'a - time from one MR to sis lb»g as;ll years. Thurs-;; lay, a new mule was acquired through a trade-in deal. Whitaker stays around home most of the time, getting pleasure in valking over his farm, talking with riends at the store and occassion dly hunting. He grows much of his :ood and preserves home-grown tears. The last movie he saw was it a Connecticult theater during 928. "Waste of Money” “I thought about buying a tele vision one time,” Whitaker said, Ixit decided it was a waste of noney since I would be the only terson watching it.” A trip to Norfolk 24 years ago vhen his father was hospitalized here turned out to be Whitaker’s mly journey from home (bther han area-stockyard business) out ide Hertford 'County since retum ug in 1929.
