Freedom of Speech „ Readers frequently believe that newspaper editors, who seem to disagree violently with each other on a variety of subjects are necessarily not friends. This just isn’t so. In fact, freedom of speech means the right to disagree, intelligently of course, and still be friends. Freedom of speech does not mean the right to lie about others, or to make allegations that cannot be verified. Some people do not always recognnize the difference. We occasionally get letters which we cannot print — because they make charges that cannot be proven — charges that are, in fact, a libel against the person talked about. But ordinarily, within the bounds of good taste, freedom of thought is a good thing, and necessary for progress. Last week the Portland Commercial-Review quoted the following from Indiana University President Elvis Stahr, Jr.,’s speech before the National Congress of the Sons of the American Revolution. “My friends, if freedom, individual freedom, means anything really significant to Americans — and I deeply believe it must — it means at the very least that the rights to differ, the right of dissent, the right of debate, is jealously guarded for those of our fellow-citizens with whom we disagree. Freedom of speech for those who agree, who conform, exists even in a totalitarian communist society. But jail has often awaited him who speaks in disagreement with established doctrine. Can that happen here? To propose it surely does no service to the American way of life — Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Adams, Hamilton, all would say that this represents what they were fighting against, not fighting for. One can almost hear them signing, “Oh, ye of little faith!” “No matter how well-meaning the motives of those who would substitute indoctrination for education for education, and supression of opinion for freedom of expression, they not only betray the American heritage but their efforts are self-defeating. The force of wrong-headed views is soon dissipated in a climate of free and open inquiry, as steam from a teakettle, but when driven into the confines of apparent silence it can build up the explosive pressures of steam in a boiler without a safety valve. Our forefathers knew this — though this was not the only reason they fought for the right of mankind to have rights, individual rights, the rights they bequeathed every American in the Bill of Rights. “These rights unquestionably carry responsibilities —and most certainly one of those responsibilities is that each of us defend those rights for all, and all of us defend them for each. “Let us not emulate the enemy, who mortally fears to permit his people the freedom to dissent. Let us have faith ourselves in the validity and strengthen pf what we want out children to believe. And let us not try to raise test-tube babies — Freedom can stand up under critical examination; antifreedom cannot. Let us encourage the the next generation to observe and examine, question and think for themselves so that as they reach adulthood their childhood lessons will be more likely to become mature convictions; so that they will become expert in seeing through the fraud and deceit of anti-freedom; so that they will know it when they see and hear it, because it hasn’t been hidden away from them, and they will not be beguiled by forbidden fruits; so .that .they will be stronger in the' cause of freedom because they themselves believe in it rather than weaker because they’ve only been told by 0 their elders not to argue about it.”

Take Civil Rights Dispute To Streets

By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International The Kennedy administration has been deserted by its principal Negro ally in the effort to keep the civil rights controversy in the courts and off the streets. The ally was the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. But NAACP took the c»sl rights dispute to the streets in Philadelphia with mass picketing against job discrimination. Later Roy C. Wilkins, NAACP national secretary, joined the Jackson, Miss., street demonstrators and was arrested. Heretofore, NAACP has been the Negroes’ legal counsel. It was NAACP that confronted the Supreme Court with the arguments that obtained the court’s order for desegregation of public schools. But the legal process has proved to be to< slow for impatient Negroes, just as the Kennedy’s administration’s major strategy effort proved too slow. The Kennedy strategy was to obtain registration and voting rights fori southern Negroes. That would be the moderate, reasonable, least abrasive way to assure the Negroes’ civil rights—permit them to vote. The other rights then would follow. The white man got his civil rights guaranteed that way. The white man needed many more than 100 years to accomplish that, however, if you date the beginning of basic white civil rights no further back than 1215 A.D. That was the year of the Magna Carta. Taking into account the civil disorders in Birmingham, Jackson, Miss., Philadelphia and elsewhere, plus the movement* of NAACP from the court room into the street, the Kennedy administration had no alternative but to adopt its present civil rights strategy. The administration was compelled to move to other ground. The time of the moderate, reasonable, least abrasive approach to the problem of civil rights had run out. The direct actionists among Negro leaders were taking over. Negro children also were injected into the controversy. Negro

SMCIAI WASHINGTON REPORT "Fixation" On Castro Ignores Bible Warning By Sen. George S. McGovern (D. S.D.) * Rarely in American history has so much futile and irresponsible discussion been devoted to a single issue as the present Cuban question. Partly because of this, we now have a dangerous fixation on Castro that is not worthy of this great Nation. While hunger, disease and injustice—the tra- . ’IJM ditionai handmaidens of revolution—stalk Latin America, we hear nothing in this country but ■Vp" ‘ the clamor and controversy over Castro and his future. We have ignored the biblical warning jO against straining at a gnat and swallowing a I® camel. If Khrushchev’s purpose was to create a gadfly to divert the attention of the United V States from the real dangers and challenges of Latin America, he must feel handsomely re- G. or 9. j. mcOov.™ j

warded. j As President Kennedy has wisely said, "The big dangers to Latin America—are the very difficult, and in some cases, desperate conditions i» • the countries themselves—unrelated to Cuba.” Neither Castro nor Khrushchev, not even communism, created the social ills that beset our neighbors to the South. The real bombshells of Latin America are fused to the following conditions: (1) 2 per cent of the people own more than half the wealth, (2) 80 per cent of the people dwell in miserable shacks amidst hopeless poverty, (3) illiteracy is the lot of well over half the population, (4) mote than 50 per cent of the people suffer from hunger and disease and most of diem will never in their lifetime See a doctor, nurse, dentist, or pharmacist, (5) most governments are weakened by unjust tax structures, excessive military budgets designed to keep the popple under control, and (6) * growth In population that is several times faster than the rate of increase in supplies of food and services. 2 What, then, is our problem— Castro or the frightful conditions on which hte thrives? The question answers itself. Every government in the hemisphere is taking a new and searching look at the desperate needs of its masses of citizens. This Administration, through the Al- . liance for Progress, is cooperst- ; ing with self-help efforts to

adults sent the grade schoolers into the streets to challenge local police power. A misplay then 1 with a gun, a dog or a night stick could have triggered bloody ‘ violence in most streets of every ' major U.S. city. It hasn’t happened that way yet. But it could. All of this is some measure—r but not all of the measure—of the crisis the Kennedy brothers how ’ clearly see and which they now seek to control with more federal . legislation. Basement Floor Checkup Be sure that your basement floor is dry before laying linoleum or tile, or painting the floor. Test for moisture by laying a rubber floor mat on the concrete and leaving for about three days. Then lift it, and immediately examine the surface. If the floor is even slightly moist, do not proceed with new finish. & ft Wwl LIGHT TOUCH—Welding has become a delicate art in the space age.

At stake is the future of the whole Western hemisphere. Will change come through peaceful democratic change, or by a violent Communist-led upheaval?, I suggest that too many have . been willing to shed the blood of young American* in a Cuban invasion, and not enough have paid attention to the great problems confronting the Alliance. I applaud President Kennedy’s policy of wisdom and restraint toward Cuba. He has been firm and courageous in resisting the clamor of the war hawk*. rj Last October he rejected the counsels of those who called for a naval blockade before we knew th* nature of the Russian arms shipments. The President also rebuffed those who favored an immediate air strike against Cuba. By waiting until he had positive proof of the SovietCuban offensive missile threat,-' the President won unanimous support for his action from out Western allies and the countries 1 of Latin America. He forced : Khrushchev to back down, but f he did it without war. He ha* j since resisted those who have | shouted for blood and battle and j \ blockades. J ■ I earnestly hope that we will ; not dissipate our energies in a ' senseless fixation on Castro, i Our mission is to point the way • to a better life for the hemi- . sphere and, indeed, for all man- > kind. .. •

0 0 Modern Etiquette Br Roberta Lee o o Q. If it is necessary, while you are a weekend guest in someone’s home, for you to make a longdistance call, how do you handle paying for it? A. Tell the operator to call back the charges as soon as the call is completed, and pay your hostess THEN. Remember, if you don’t pay this debt, you are sponging on your hosts! Q. The man I am to marry is a widower, and I am a widow. What kind of wedding ceremony is in best taste for us, and should we have a reception? A. Your wedding ceremony, religious or civil, should be small
