The Rail Splitter Yesterday marked the 152nd anniversary of the birth of one of the United States’ greatest sons, Abraham Lincoln. The humble man from Illinois will be in the limelight for the next four years, as we celebrate the centennial of the Civil War. It would do this country good to make a serious re-evaluation of Abraham Lincoln. One of the greatest injustices to both Lincoln and history 7 stems from those people who put the man up on a pedestal and consider him some sort of god-like being. Lincoln’s very greatness stemmed from the fact that he was most human. He knew people; felt what the people felt; and loved people; not because he was so much above them, but because he was so much one of them. That he had qualities that are not found in Buch _ abundance with the majority of people is evident. But he was no backwoods superman. Few men who have served as president of the United States have taken on the dictatorial attitude that Lincoln did on occasions. He denied the right of habeas corpus; he instituted a very unpopular draft for the armed forces ;and he brought into reality the income tax. But he did these things for the UNITED States of America. There are those who have the mistaken idea that Lincoln set out to free the slaves. Actually, he is often quoted as having said if necessary he would free half of the slaves, all of the slaves, or none of the slaves if it would serve to preserve the Union. As a man with deep feelings for his fellow humans, Lincoln undoubtedly felt compassion for the slaves, but only when the war made it a necessity did he make an issue of slavery. Other people seem to have the opinion that Lincoln was a great tower of strength sailing calmly through a troubled time. Lincoln was a tower of strength—steel strong and steel hard when he needed to be. But he was also one of the master politicians of this nation. Lincoln was not drafted for the presidency—he wanted the position and worked for it And few men/have been able to handle a cabinet made up of political necessities with the smoothness and skill of Lincoln. So, a nation salutes a great and good man. A man of strength and character; a man of skill and judgment; a man of the people, His driving force was a desire for a united country working for the good of this nation and the world. In this, we can all agree.

Rumor Castro To Cut Base Supply

HAVANA (UPI) — Premier Fidel Castro affirmed his determination to export revolution to Latin America in a weekend challenge to the inter-American system which appeared to dash hopes of a reconciliation between Cuba and the new U.S. administration. In a speech early Sunday to a group of factory workers, Castro also hinted his regime is preparing to take over Cuba’s Roman Catholic schools and cemeteries. Rumors circulating here today said the government may be preparing to follow up Castro’s new declaration of hostility to the United States by cutting off the water supply of the U.S. Navy’s big Guantanamo base. The water company which supplies the base, controlled for months by the Castro regime, was formally taken over by the government a few days ago. “We don’t have any specific information on plans by the Cuban government to cut off the water,” said a Navy spokesman in Washington. “Os course, this could be done at any time, but we have no new word on the situation.” The Navy already has worked out plans to supply Guantanama by water tanker if its regular supply is cut off. Foes Explode Bombs Shortly before noon Saturday, bombs exploded in washrooms on the 6th and 14th floors of the INRA (land reform) building, where Castro and other leaders of his regime have offices. The explosions caused some damage but no reported casualties, y 7 INRA workers, who usually knock off at noon on Saturday, were o held four hours overtime while agents of the Dier (secret police) investigated the bombings. An undisclosed number of employes were arrested. In his 2%-hour speech to the workers, Castro announced that his regime is building a powerful radio transmitter to “spread our truth to the four winds of the world.” Reports circulating here said /experts from Communist East Europe were overseeing the job. Claims Rights , “If the United States thinks it has a right to promote counterrevolution in Cuba and. , .reaction in Latin America, Cuba feels entitled to encourage revolution in Latin America. . .” Castro said. “They (the U.S. government) feel they have a right to approve a credit of 84 million for counterrevolutionary exiles. Well, Cuba feels it has a right to approve a credit for Puerto Rican exiles and revolutionary exiles from all Latin American nations.” He said he would notify the United Nations of his decision. Diplomatic quarters said Castro appeared to be trying to provoke the United States into seeking collective inter-American action against his regime, confident that his friends in Brazil, Mexico, Ecuador, Uruguay and perhaps Argentina would torpedo any such campaign.

Civil War Outbreak Is Feared In Congo Lumumba and his two adherents had been transferred to the custody of Katanga Province President Moise Tshombe, the deposed premier’s bitterest enemy, from custody at the Congolese army camp near Thysville last Jan. 17. 4 The three men were beaten badly at the time by their captors and had disappeared behind a government-imposed iron curtain. Attempts by United Nations representatives to see or interview Lumumba or his companions were denied repeatedly by the Katangese authorities, who insisted the three men were in good condition. The Katangese government said Lumumba and his two supporters had overpowered their guards at their farmhouse jail and fled in t an ancient car with two rifles and enough gasoline to last 60 miles. The Katangese government said the car was found wrecked in a ditch last Friday. Lumumba’s death was expected to set off new violence in the Congo. Polished Furniture It is well to know that strong sunlight is very liable to fade polished furniture, and especially articles of mahogany.

Kennedy Sends Congress Bill On Aged Care WASHINGTON (UPI) — President Kennedy sent to Congress today proposed legislation to carry out his recommendation for Social Security financing of a billion-dollar-a-year program of health care for the aged. Kennedy said in letters of trans? mittal to Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson and Speaker Sam Rayburn that the program is “based upon the sound and proven social security principles.” He said there is “urgent” need to provide the health insurance benefits for persons over 65. “Every study has demonstrated that the cost of adequate health care for those over 65 are becoming an accelerated problem,” he said. The administration bill was introduced in the House by Rep. Cecil R. King of California, second ranking Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee, which has jurisdiction over the legislation. Kennedy said enactment of the bill “would not relieve its beneficiaries of their entire responsibility for the costs incurred by them for their medical needs.” “But it would enable them to meet most of their medical care costs without any humiliating means test,” he said. Grease Fire Brings Out City Firemen The fire department was called to the Edna Werst residence at 408 N. Second street at 4:25 p.m. Sunday, when some grease caught fire in the oven. The department had the small blaze out in a matter of minutes. The only damage was to a “good supper” that Mrs. Werst had in the oven.

'Man Os Year’ Award To Hoosier Native INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Indianapolis Press Club’s annual “Man of the Year” award was presented Saturday night to Bernard Kilgore, president of the Wall Street Journal and a native of New Albany. Kilgore, a graduate of DePauw University, attended the Front Page Ball to receive the award and earlier met with DePauw University trustees. There is no easy way out of the present recession, Kilgore told Indiana businessmen earlier. Be said a major factor in the nation’s economic woes has been overexpansion of credit through increased government programs financed by borrowing. “The danger is that the government will try to think up a lot of new stimulants.” he said. “If these are not big enough and wise enough, it can actually delay the economic adjustments that need to be made before we can move ahead.” He said a “leveling-off” period now underway may take as long as two years. New Orleans Revels During Mardi Gras NEW ORLEANS (UPI) —lt’s Mardi Gras—the French Quarter is going happily nuts today. Tuesday it throws a fit of color, music, fun and spectacle. It was a fine, warm day for parading and whooping it up Sunday, but the city broke out the snow shovels. The street cleaners followed the parades, shoveling the beer cans into dump trucks. Sunday night Bourbon Street was a bedlam of college kids, oldsters, richly dressed couples and shabby panhandlers, milling, shouting and laughing. But the crowd was only routine. In front of the Famous Door, a famed jazz bar, a preacher of the Church of the Open Air shouted the gospel to a host of onlookers holding beer cans and “hurricane” glasses— a reputedly potent creation of Pat O'Brien’s tavern. A police lieutenant asked the preacher to move on in the interests of keeping the Bourbon Street crowd moving, and the religious ■group left the corner. Most of the onlookers roamed away, peeking through the swinging doors of the strip joints at the shows inside. Four white youngsters were arrested for throwing cherry bombs (small firecrackers) at a policeman’s horse in front of one of the more popular night spots. Many of the bars and clubs were far from full. Hawkers and bartenders were less than ecstatic about the turnout. “I don’t know what’s the matter,” said one. “The people are out there, but they’re not spending.” “I’ve never seen a carnival as slow,” said an unshaved doorman at a popular peel palace. Hotels were full in the quarter itself, but several in the downtown area reported they still have room.

Russia Three Years Ahead On Spacecraft WASHINGTON (UPD — The United States is about three years away from" matching Russia’s feat of launching a spacecraft toward Venus. Scientists said it would take this country that long to achieve the necessary rocket power to send a space probe to Venus or other planets. President Kennedy was informed Saturday night of the Soviet launching, before.it was officially announced by Moscow, and the United States has been tracking the Russian craft. However, White House Press Secretary Pierre Salinger said Kennedy would have no comment. This country maintained a news blackout on tracking information about the Venus shot and the 7.1-ton sputnik launched Feb. 4. The target year for sending a U.S. rocket to the vicinity of Venus .or Mars is 1964. The next ideal launching period for a shot to Venus will come late in 1962 but the United States apparently won't have sufficient rocket power for the attempt by then. American hopes for firing a reconnaissance rocket to Venus rest with the Saturn “super-booster.” a rocket with 1.5 million pounds of thrust. The Saturn’s first stage is scheduled for a test flight later this year.

mus. The walls will be of 6-inch concrete blocks and the ceiling of 6inch concrete block covered by 18 inches of gravel. A filtered air intake that will keep out nuclear fallout will allow breathing. A hand-operated centrifugal blower also is to be standard equipment. Provisions for electrical wiring, a radio antenna and piping for emergency water supplies also will be included.
