Editorial-Wise Double Congratulations It is with pleasure that The Daily Banner today extends double congratulations to the Bainbridge High School Pointers and the Cloverdale High School Clovers. Those two basketball teams withstood the add hardwood court test Saturday by winning the Covington and Terre Haute regional tournaments. Strict training, long hours of practice, teamwork and the will to win were the determining factors in Saturday’s keen emnpetition. These young Putnam County athletes, their coaches and cheer leaders are splendid representatives of their respective communities. Not only did the Pointers and Clovers gain honor for themselves but they also brought statewide recognition for this entire county by Saturday’s performances. It certainly is not every county in Indiana that can boast of two regional champions at the same time. Agmiti, The Banner congratulates these two fine teams and wishes them both the best of luck and success in the Lafayette and Evansville semi-final rounds come next Saturday.

Kennedys Continued from Page 1) the bombing of North Viet Nam, said mining Haiphong harbor would cut oft the shipping which carries supplies tq the Communists. He said the continued bombing would give an “impression of the inexorability of greater discomfort” to Hanoi. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield, Mont., said he did not agree with Taylor. He said he did not favor strikes against Haiphong — by mining, bombing or other means — “unless we are prepared to go a long way” toward a greatly expanded conflict in Southeast Asia. Sen. J. Wulliam Fulbright, D-Ark., chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said during a television interview Sunday that such a move ‘would indicate a rather serious expansion of the war.” In addition to the danger of sinking a Russian vessel, Fulbright said, “I think this would be a symbol of a very important expansion of the scope of the war, just as would be the destruction of Hanoi by bombs ... and would make the North Vietnamese much more attached to or subservient to the Chinese and would lead to the escalation which is so ipuch talked about.” As for the Kennedys, their position appeared to be in opposition to that of the administration, which has firmly rejected the idea of dealing directly with the Viet Cong in the past.

Evade Missiles Continued from Page 1) Saigon killed 199 Viet Cong before completing Operation Cocoa Beach.

The massive sweep of the longtime Communist sanctuary began Jan. 25 and resulted in 1,484 Viet Cong and North Vietnamese regulars known dead, 570 Communists captured and 1,700 suspects detained by the Americans and South Korean infantrymen. Air Force Thunderchief pilots in ths latest raid on the North said one SAM missile was fixed as they completed a strike 85 miles southwest of Hanoi. They saw it coming and took evasive action, a spokesman said.
