Highlights Os JFK Message

WASHINGTON (UPI) - Highlights of President Kennedy’s address to the nation Tuesday night: THE ALABAMA CRISIS “I hope ’that every American . . . will stop and examine his conscience about this and other related incidents. This nation was founded by men of many nations and backgrounds. It was founded on the principle that all men are created equal and that the rights ; of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened.” THE PROBLEM ‘‘This is not a sectional issue. Difficulties over segregation and discrimination exist in every city, in ever state of the Union, producing in many cities a rising Local Auto Dealers Are Given Plaques Plaques for distinguished public service hace been awarded by the Chicago Motor club to automobile dealers in Decatur. This recognition was given for suplying driver training cars to high schools in Hoagland, Pleasant Mills, Monroe and Decatur during the 1963-63 school year. Dealers being honored are Schwartz Ford Company, Inc., and Bill Zoss Chevrolet-Buick, Inc. G. W. Cavanagh, president of the Chicago Motor Club, praised the companies for their significant assistance to the vital driver education program. He said: ‘‘The contribution to traffic safety made by these firms is invaluable. Through the use of cars generously supplied by these firms, youngsters have been trained to be safer, more competent drivers. The cost of this training is far less than the expense involved in the average traffic accident.” Since 1946, when the driver training program was started by the motor club in Illinois and Indiana, dealers have supplied cars in which thousands of students have benefited from behind-the-wheel training. To train instructors for this rapidly expanding program, the motor club helps to conduct siminars at colleges and universities in Illinois and Indiana. The club also negotiates with local automobile dealers for use of cars by schools having experienced instructors, and supplies visual aids such as movies, pamphlets, and posters. Cavanagh said that “students who have taken driver education courses have only half--as many accidents as'those who have not- a remarkable reduction. The proven effectiveness of these courses is emphasised by the fact that insurance companies offer reductions in premiums to drivers who have had . such training.” ONE POLICY TO GIVE YOU PRACTICALLY COMPLETE INSURANCE PROTECTION FOR YOUR HOME Broad Homeowners Insurance Policy COWENS INSURANCE AGENCY 209 Court Street PHONE 3-3601 L.

tide of discontent that threatens public safety ... The heart of the question is whether all Americans are to be afforded equal rights and equal opportunties, whether we are going to treat our fellow Americans as we want to be treated.” The events in Birmingham and elsewhere have so increased the cries for equality that no city or state or legislative body can prudently choose to ignore them. The fires of frustration and discord are burning in every city. North and South, where legal remedies are not at hand. Redress is sought in the streets, in demonstrations, parades and protests which create tensions and threaten violence, and threaten lives.” THE SOLUTIONS “I am ... asking the Congress to enact legislation giving all Americans the right to be served in facilities which are open to the public—hotels, restaurants, theaters, retail stores, and similar establishments. “. . . I am also asking Congress to authorize the federal government to participate more fully in lawsuits desigped to end segregation in public education. “. . . But legislation, I repeat, cannot solve this problem alone. It must be solved in the homes of every American in every community across our Country.” THE SUMMARY ‘‘We have a right to expect that the Negro community will be re. sponsible, will uphold the law, but they have a right to expect that the law will be fair; that the Constitution will be color blind, as Justice Harlan said at the turn of the century.

Com And Soybean Plants Are Shorter LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UPD—lndiana’s corn and soybean plants were reported today as about an inch shorter than usual—apparently because of cold weather back in May. The weekly crop report of agricultural statistician Robert E. Straszheim of Purdue did not give a reason for the corn crop averaging 5 inches in height compared with a usual 6 and the soybean crop averaging 2 inches in height compared with a usual 3. But since field work progress was generally 2 to 3 days ahead of normal during most of the spring, the weather apparently was responsible. ‘‘With corn planting about complete, farmers were active in cultivation practices,” Straszheim’s report said. “Soybean planting continued and by weekend less than 10 per cent remained to be planted compared with the usual 20 per cent.” The report said about 20 per cent of the wheat crop was turning color, slightly less than usual. About 20 per cent of the oat crop headed, compared with the usual 35 per cent. First cutting of alfalfa was about one-half complete whereas 40 per cent usually has been eut by this time of year. “Resetting of tomato plants lost in the May 22-23 freeze is largely complete. Farmers active in cultivating and spraying, and the blocking of seeded tomatoes continued,” the report said.

See Easing Os Reds'Attitude On Arms Issues GENEVA (UPI) — Diplomats today detected an easing of the Soviet attitude on arms Issues which they hoped foreshadowed further progress toward general disarmament. Delegates to the 17-nation disarmament conference noted that Monday's announcement of renewed big - three nuclear talks next month followed a draft agreement to establish a “hot line” between Washington and Moscow. Although nothing spectacular was expected at today's session, Western and neutral delegates were watching Soviet bloc speeches for possible additional signs of conciliation. Informed sources said there had been a distinct softening of the Soviet attitude in negotiations on measures to reduce the risk of war by accident or miscalculation. The plan for a “hot line" con> munications link — "hot” in the sense that it always will be open —was worked out by American and Russian technical experts and is ready for signature as soon as Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev gives it final approval. ............... The teletype link will enable Khrushchev and President Kennedy to communicate directly and instantly in times of major crisis and thus lessen the possibility of nuclear war being caused by misunderstanding. The draft agreement was the first concrete progress at the conference here. The projected resumption of U. S.-Soviet-British talks toward a nuclear test ban treaty encouraged diplomats here, since the conference has been stalled on the nuclear issue for months. The threepower talks will begin in mid-July in Moscow. The U.S. and British ambassadors in Moscow conferred Tuesday on Western strategy for the coming talks. President Kennedy announced Tuesday that Undersecretary of State W. Averell Harriman will represent the United States in the Moscow’ talks. Lord Hailsham will be Britain’s spokesman. The Kremlin has not yet announced its man, but speculation centered on First Deputy Foreign Minister Vasily Kuznetsov. One Man Killed As Elevator Collapses MUNCIE, Ind.
