ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER m ADAMS COUNTY

Decatur, Indiana, Friday, June 28, 1963.

DUBLCN (UH) — President Kennedy today called on the Reddominated peoples behind the Iron Curtain to follow Ireland’s example and never cease to struggle for freedom. The President’s appeal was delivered before an historic joint sessioh of the Irish parliament shortly after Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev arrived in East Berlin and accused Kennedy of trying to play, politics with the German issue. Kennedy was in good form after his flying visit to Cork, where he was made a freeman of the city and given probably the most tumultuous welcome of his career by cheering, laughting crowds who pushed him backwards into his automobile in their rush to get close to him. ♦ “Those who suffer beyond that wall of shame I saw on Wednesday in Berlin must not despair of the future,” Kennedy said. “Let them instead remember the constancy, the faith, the endurance and the ultimate success of the Irish.” Ireland Not Neutral His appeal to the East Europeans to hold high their, faith in the eventual advent of freedom came after he had said that Ireland, although taking no sides in the cold war, “is not neutral’ between liberty and tyranny and I know it never will be.” The President called upon the people beyond the Berlin wall to remember the boys of County Wexford, which he visited Thursday, who are fabled in song and story for having “fought with heart and hand, to burst in twain the galling chain and free our native land.” Virtually all the nearly* 80,000 citizens of Cork turned out to cheer and clap for Kennedy who flew here by helicopter from Dublin for a brief visit. The President returned from; Cork to Dublin by helicopter. Some observers said the reception in Cork was . bigger and better than any Kennedy has received since he arrived in the land of his ancestors Wednesday. “Anything Dublin can do, Cork can do better/’ said one resident of this “second city” of Ireland. The President, who was mobbed by more than 1,000 screaming teen-age girls Thursday night, decided to pass up ah opportunity to kiss the Blarney Stone, a favorite tourist attraction five miles north of Cork. Riding a crest of adulation heaped on him by relatives at the old Kennedy homestead Thursday, the President took a 75-minute helicopter trip to Cork to receive the freedom of the city in a city hall ceremony. The theme of Kennedy’s busy day, his second full day in Ireland, was independence and tribute to* those who died in the Irish rebellion. Host At Lunch The visit to Cork, capital of County Cork along the Atlantic coast, was a prelude to a lunch given by Kennedy for President Eamon de Valera and Premier Sean Lemass ahd Kennedy’s unprecedented address to the Dail (parliament). The near-riot by teen-age girls last night climaxed Kennedy’s dramatic and sentimental return to the land of his ancestors where he turned kiss in’ cousins with Mrs. Mary Ryan, a second cousin once removed, who was his hostess at tea. The girls converged on Kennedy as he emerged from a whitetie banquet at Iveagh House, home of the Irish External Affairs Department, in Dublin. The girls broke through police lines and caused what authorities described as “near panic.” The teen-agers were the noisiest part of a crowd of 5,000 waiting for the President. “We want Jack, we want Jack,” the crowd shouted. Moves Toward Crowd As the smiling Kennedy moved away from his security guards toward the crowd, the girls broke loose and surrounded him. They grabbed his hands and pawed his arms and clothing. Fearing for the President’s safety, police and security guards waded into the mob, pushing girls against 'walls and railings. The friendly ,7 but over-enthusiastic Continued on Page Six

Khrushchev In Berlin, Scores Kennedy Visit BERLIN (.UPD — Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev flew to Berlin today in an attempt to match the personal success of President Kennedy’s visit to the divided city 48 hours earlier. He complained that Kennedy’s trip was “directed against the interests of the German people.’’/ The Soviet leader landed at East Berlin’s Schoenefeld Airfield to attend celebrations next Sunday of the 70th birthday of East German Communist party boss Walter Ulbricht and perhaps to hold an Eastern Red bloc summit meeting. In a welcoming speech, Ulbricht charged that Kennedy’s visit to West Berlin was “directed against the interests of the German people.” “I am in full agreement with the remarks made by comrade Ulbricht about the Kennedy visit,” Khrushchev said in a six-minute reply. Khrushchev's speech 'otherwise consisted almost entirely of thanks to Ulbricht and other East German Communist leaders. Part of his statement was drowned out by a Russian jet plane taking off. Khrushchev flew here directly from Moscow aboard a Russian ILIB turbo-prop transport, amid reports that other Communist leaders from Poland, Czechoslovakia, Romania and Hungary were on the way, too. The convergence of satellite Communist party chieftains on Berlin led to the speculation of a possible Red bloc summit while Khrushchev ir here.
