and there are even arguments that he's bet-
ter in some ways.
When I started Father's Day, family society
was much different from what it is today.
The head of the family faced a challenge
that was much more confined and local than
it is nowadays. His responsibilities were as
clearly defined as was his undisputed posi-
tion as head of the household.
Today his responsibilities are as varied and
confusing as the instrument panel of a
manned missile. He has to be breadwinner,
father confessor, babysitter, playmate, social
director, community planner, answer man,
short order cook, savings and loan company
and romantic husband all rolled into one.
When I was a teenager, for instance, I went
to the country school with my brothers.
That was it. Who went to college in those
days?
Ask Mom, sons and daughters what they
think of Pop, and they'll add to his list of
virtues until you have to ask them to stop
in self defense.
Dad in 1961 looks a lot different from Dad
in 1910, I'll admit.
I don't think he has changed much inside,
though. And that's where it counts.
Wisconsin Has Many "Firsts" in
Dairying
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
HON. LESTER R. JOHNSON
or WISCONSIN
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Monday, June 19, 1961
Mr. JOHNSON of Wisconsin. Mr.
Speaker, under leave to extend my re-
marks, I would like to make a few ob-
servations about the importance of the
dairy industry to my home State of Wis-
consin as well as to the Nation as a
whole.
The silver anniversary of the observ-
ance of June Dairy Month calls attention
to the gold brought to Wisconsin dairy-
men through the unceasing flow of milk
during the past 25 years. There have
been slight variations in the total cash
value, but in that time, the income from
milk have averaged out at better than a
half billion dollars a year for State
farmers.
Well known as America's Dairyland,
Wisconsin leads in the manufacture of
dairy products. Since our State's popu-
lation is modes, around 85 percent of the
milk produced in Wisconsin is shipped
out of State in many forms for sale
and consumer consumption across the
Nation.
Wisconsin ranks first in the production
of American cheese, brick cheese, muns-
ter cheese, blue mold, limburger, and
Italian cheeses, malted milk powder,
condensed whole milk, dry whey, con-
densed skim milk and evaporated milk.
It is second in the production of swiss
cheese, butter, dry buttermilk, and dry
skim milk for both human and animal
uses-and ranks third in dry whole milk
production and ninth in ice cream gal-
lonage.
Obviously, June Dairy Month means
much to Wisconsin, but the observance
also has considerable national signifi-
cance. The nutritional value of milk and
dairy products in the diet of young and
old alike is widely recognized, and the
nutrients in dairy foods represent a tre-
mendous bargain the year around. Ac-
cording to U.S. Department of Agricul-
ture estimates, dairy products make up
about 28 percent of our total food supply,
yet they take only 19 cents out of each
market-basket dollar.
The dairy industry not only helps to
maintain the Nation's health but also
plays an important role in our total
economy. About 14 percent of total cash
farm receipts comes from milk and dairy
products, providing a leading source of
agricultural income which is spread
throughout virtually every State in the
Union.
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. JAMES C. AUCHINCLOSS
Or NEW JERSEY
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Monday, June 19, 1961
Mr. AUCHINCLOSS. Mr. Speaker,
for the past few years the eighth grade
class of the Deal Elementary School,
Deal, N.J., has come to Washington and
I have always felt very much honored
when they pay me a visit. These young
people are very much alive to the respon-
sibilities of citizenship and visit the
Capital City with an eagerness and an-
ticipation which is outstanding. I have
always been so impressed with their en-
thusiasm that I offered prizes for the
four best essays written about their trip
to Washington and I am pleased to ap-
pend to my remarks the winning essays.
The first prize was won by Susan
Steadman, the second prize by Ellen
Linky, the third prize by Patti Pyle, and
the fourth prize by Chris Rankin:
OUR NATION'S CAPITAL
(By Susan Steadman)
How privileged I feel, to be a part of this
wonderful Nation after visiting its Capital.
Washington, D.C.,,with its marble struc-
tures, tree-lined avenues, and numerous
statues, is one of the most impressive cities
in the world. Yet, it was not for its elegance,
but its national and worldwide importance
that Washington, D.C., captivated me.
The Capitol Building, designed by Dr. Wil-
liam Thornton in 1792, contains wings for
the Senate and House of Representatives. A
section of this magnificent structure houses
Statuary Hall honoring two men from each
State who aided in constructing our demo-
cratic Government. Also within the confines
of the Capitol, located in the rotunda, are
huge murals representing dramatic eras in
American history.
Visiting the Supreme Court, where the
judicial section of our Government presides,
I saw the nine seats our erudite justices
occupy.
In the Archives Building, I viewed the
Declaration of Independence, the Bill of
Rights, and the Constitution, so precious to
our American freedom.
Later that evening, I visited the monu-
ments and memorials honoring the great
men of our glorious past.
At the White House, I took pride in feeling
that this was the residence of the President
of the United States. in the famous Red
Room, I saw where the First Lady receives
her guests and on the south lawn, where
Comdr. Alan Shepard's helicopter landed
when a well-earned citation was presented
to him by President John F. Kennedy.
It was like turning back the pages of his-
tory and having important events unfold
before me as I strolled through the Smith-
sonian Institution. I envisioned the Wright
brothers at Kitty Hawk, and flew with
Charles Lindbergh in his Spirit of Saint
Louis.
At the Washington National Airport planes
come and go like taxicabs at Grand Central
Station. The airport receives and departs
people that guide and determine the world's
destiny,
After visiting the Arlington National
Cemetery, nothing again will appear so hal-
lowed, yet so sorrowful, as the row upon
row of honored dead buried here. This de-
picts all too well, the price paid for freedom
and democracy.
On top of a grassy knoll, I saw the mag-
nificent changing of the guards who keep
tireless vigil over the Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier bearing the inscription, "Here lies in
honored glory an American soldier, known
but to God." The tomb represents the many
unidentified Americans who gave their lives
for the United States during the wars: wars
which we hope will never occur again.
To complete this wonderful trip, we visited
the Washington Cathedral built in 1906.
it is a prime example of Gothic Architec-
ture. In this structure are 9 chapels and
70 crypts of famous Americans. Here lie
Admiral Dewey and Woodrow Wilson. The
belief of the priests of this Episcopal Church
is to unite people of all faiths under one
common bondage.
As we rounded the final hill on our de-
parture from this fabled city, I felt a sorrow
in leaving, but I left with greater knowl-
edge and deeper emotion for our Nation's
Capital-Washington, D.C.
WASHINGTON-DEMOCRACY IN ACTION
(By Ellen Linky)
My visit to our Nation's Capital, Wash-
ington, D.C., proved to be a great experience
historically, educationally, and emotionally.
There were only a few places that I did not
have the opportunity to visit on previous
occasions, but one could benefit at any time
in revisiting this memorable city.
Washington, D.C., radiates the symbols
of freedom and opportunity. Each monu-
ment and building represents a special trib-
ute to our great leaders, their foresight and
courage in founding the United States of
America. The architecture, the paintings,
the symbols of freemen Impressed me ex-
tensively.
Each memorial is arranged and planned
so that it is situated in a different locale
in the city.
Our sojourn with one of the leading citi-
zens, Representative AUCHINCLOSS of New
Jersey, was most impressive. This outstand-
ing spokesman made us realize how great
our United States Is, He described our
ideals, our responsibilities as future citizens
for the understanding of free people, in a
free government, in a free world.
Washington is and will always remain (to
me) the pivot from which the threads of
knowledge, courage, and humaneness spread
over the world.
WHAT WASHINGTON MEANS TO ME
(By Patti Pyle)
Washington, to me, is the city of the
people. She is the city belonging to every
citizen of this country, whether a million-
aire or a pauper. She is the city of fairness
and justice. She is the home of all men
seeking liberty. She is the city of light, the
city which all men look to as the last beacon
on their "voyages on stormy seas."

But, we cannot tell of Washington. It is
for her to tell her story, for she is the city
of conflicts for freedom within a growing
nation, of men and women and their heroic
deeds, of the soldiers who "here gave their
lives that that nation might live," and the
lovers of liberty who proclaimed "that this
Nation under God shall have a new birth of
freedom," and, indeed, of all people who
have lived and died for the "sweet land of
liberty."
This is our city. She has survived the
aging of time, the clamor of change, and
the tensions of an unsettled world. She has
seen success and failure, prosperity and
need. We here dedicate her to the task of
maintaining freedom for the entire world,
and of restoring to every human being his
unalienable rights; life, liberty, and the pur-
suit of happiness.
WHAT WASHINGTON MEANS TO ME
(By Chris Rankin)
My trip to Washington, D.C., our Nation's
Capital, has left me with a deep apprecia-
tion for my country. A realization of this
Nation's glory was awakened in me when I
saw the Washington skyline, a breathtaking
view. The Capital dome with the statue
of "Freedom," and the massive Washington
Monument held me spellbound.
I was fortunate in seeing Congress in
session. I have read about Congress, have
seen it on TV, but to see this in person
is like a dream come true. -
At night I visited the Jefferson, Lincoln,
and Washington Memorials. The figures of
these men gave each one of us the incen-
tive never to lose the touch of freedom and
the rights for which they fought so hard.
To have had the honor and pleasure of
meeting JAMES C. AUCHINCLOES, Represent-
ative from the Third District of New Jersey,
was an everlasting experience not everyone
can be so lucky to have.
One enthralling experience was the White
House. I took special pride in this as I
realized that all of the Presidents of our
great Nation with the exception of George
Washington have lived here.
To learn about George Washington in
textbooks can never be as realistic to an
American as an actual visit to his home.
There at Mount Vernon I obtained the sig-
nificance of real colonial living.
A somber and reverent atmosphere over-
whelmed me when the opportunity to visit
Arlington National Cemetery arrived. I
witnessed the changing of the guard in front
of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Sud-
denly, I became aware of the meaning of
War.
Words cannot express the amount of learn-
ing gathered from the Smithsonian Insti-
tution nor the appreciation of Gothic archi-
tecture as embodied in the Washington
Cathedral.
Seeing the chapel and the crypt of John
Paul Jones at Annapolis was another ex-
perience never to be erased.
From the knowledge that I obtained from
this trip. I know that Washington, D.C.,
symbolizes the virtues of democracy, the
only way of life.

HON. F. BRADFORD MORSE
OF MASSACHUSETTS
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Monday, June 19, 1961
Mr. MORSE. Mr. Speaker, the fol-
lowing brief editorial from my home-
town newspaper, the Lowell Sun, reveals
the extent to which we have mortgaged
the futures of our children and grand-
children. I commend it to the attention
of all my colleagues in the Congress:
A TRILLION
A trillion is a thousand billion-12 zeroes
after a number.
This, in the opinion of senator BENNETT
of Utah, is what U.S. Government programs
authorized will cost taxpayers in the next
40 years.
The Senator was speaking only of author-
ized programs. New and expanded programs
in the welfare state will up the cost.

Mr. LIPSCOMB. Mr. Speaker, under
leave to extend my remarks, I submit
for inclusion in the RECORD an editorial
entitled "The Second Cuban Fiasco,"
which appeared in the June 16, 1961, Los
Angeles Times.
This editorial contains well-reasoned
and cogent observations concerning the

it ceased officially to recognize the Castro
regime. Bringing the U.S. Government to a
negotiating table would indeed be sweet
revenge.
When the Castro ransom offer was first
proposed, Jack Bell of the Associated Press
reports, President Kennedy saw in it the
chance for a propaganda coup. The U.S.
Government could not dignify the callous
offer by involving itself directly. But a
group of private citizens could, on humani-
tarian grounds, offer to deal with Castro.
'That way Americans could demonstrate their
regard for human life, while at the same
time maneuvering Castro into a position
where he had either to give up the prisoners
or reveal himself as a brutal fraud.
The only fault with this reasoning is that
it ignored two points that should have been
learned long ago. One is that if the Com-
munists cannot win at negotiating-in
Geneva or anywhere else-they will continue
to increase their demands until the other
side, in exasperation, puts and end to the
negotiating. This allows the Communists to
claim that it is the other side which is un-
interested in reaching agreements.
The second is that for every Latin Ameri-
can who might be impressed with U.S. con-
sideration for the dignity and worth of the
individual, there are probably two who would
much rather see tiny Cuba make a fool out
of the giant of the north. If nothing else

satisfying the majority.

THE SECOND CUBAN FIASCO
Representatives of the Tractors-for-Pris-

their negotiations in Cuba, bearing with
them Castro's latest ransom demands.
The dictator's conditions make it clear
that the committee has only to find the an-
swer to one question before giving Castro its
response. That question is, How much more
humiliation and ridicule is this group of
private citizens willing to bring upon the
United States by treating with the utterly
cynical and corrupt dictator?
The sorriest thing about this whole dis-
gusting spectacle is that Castro never in-
tended to give up his prisoners in the first
place. When he made his original offer dur-
ing a speech he did so as a casual aside, a
bit of comic relief, the way any politician
throws in an occasional joke to keep his
audience awake. He even offered, reaching
for another laugh, to throw in several hun-
dred priests as part of the deal. When a
group of Americans snapped at this bit of
bait Castro probably got the surprise of his
life.
He quickly learned better. Like any black-
mailer Castro found that a victim willing to
pay can usually be made to pay a lot. He
upped the ante-from 500 tractors to $28
million worth of tractors. He reduced the

UNSOUND HOME FINANCING
The Kennedy administration argues that
the United States, the wealthiest country in
the world, can finance the development of
the newly emerging nations. It also pro-
claims that under the economic programs
of the New Frontier we shall ourselves reach
new heights of prosperity.
It believes further, however, that the free
enterprise system that produced this wealth
is incapable of providing homes for millions
of Americans, of rebuilding its decaying cities
or constructing the dormitories for its future
college students.

HON. RAY J. MADDEN
OF INDIANA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Monday, June 19,1961
Mr. MADDEN. Mr. Speaker, Mr. John
Dreesen, editor and publisher of the East
Chicago Globe, East Chicago, Ind., sets
out the following timely and factual
thoughts on some of our past failures
and present problems with the Soviet
Communist leadership.
Let us not repeat the same mistakes
that were made before, during, and after
World War II with these tyrants seek-
ing world domination.
Under permission granted me so to do,
I include the article in the Appendix
of the RECORD:
GLOBE TROTTER
There must be something wrong with us.
Almost every Russian-dominated country is
sending funds and supplies to Cuba; a re-
cent $3 million loan from Communist
Poland, steel and wire goods supplies from
Communist Yugoslavia, rice and other food-
stuffs from Communist China, just to men-
tion a few; yet, last week the U.S. Senate
approved legislation (sponsored by the ad-
ministration) authorizing President Ken-
nedy to pour money and goods into Russian-
dominated countries.
This bill amends the 1951 Battle Act which
forbids U.S. assistance to countries which aid
the Soviet bloc.
Members of our Senate should read a book
recently written by Jameson G. Campaigne,
editor of the Indianapolis Star entitled
"American Might and Soviet Myth."
It is powerful contribution to the enlight-
enment of the American people on the facts
of the war for survival in which our Nation
is engaged. Mr. Campaigne is convinced that
we are losing the war and the Communists
are winning it. He documents a powerful
indictment of our U.S. foreign policy-its
lack of traditional American character, its
continuing aid to the enemy.
"In the earliest years of our existence,"
writes Mr. Campaigns, "we established cer-
tain principles in dealing with other gov-
ernments. While history has made the ap-
plication of these principles different in
technique, it has not outmoded the prin-
ciples themselves, nor can it permanently
alienate them from our national character,
without damaging that character beyond re-
covery or repair."
GEORGE WASHINGTON'S CODE
He cites the character of foreign policy
enunciated by President George Washington:
"Observe good faith and justice toward all
nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with
all. Religion and morality enjoin this con-
duct. It will be worthy of a free, enlightened
and, at no distant period, a great Nation to
give to mankind the magnanimous and too
novel example of a people always guided by
an exalted justice and benevolence. Who
can doubt that in the course of time and
things the fruits of such a plan would richly
repay any temporary advantages which
might be lost by a steady adherence to
It*
' ?."
Mr. Campaigne says, "Until the United
States begins again to operate its own for-
eign policy in the interests of its own people,
and to follow its own historic principles and
to reestablish its authentic national charac-
ter, it will continue to fail. The Soviet
Union will continue to win the cold war.
uNrrED STATES IS MIGHTY
Mr. Campaigne'a book, as the title suggests,
assesses the "myth" of Soviet might which
has seemingly caused the United States to
retreat, to give ground, to complain but
finally accept the continuing advances of
Communism in nation after nation-at a
time, he contends, when a determination on
our part and a show of our unmatched power
would have halted the Reds.
'Too many people in the United States,"
he says, "have surrendered weakly to the So-
viet psychological offensive. Only twice in
recent years have we actually called a So-
viet bluff-once in Quemoy and once in
Lebanon. On both occasions the enemy
backed down. He will back down every
time-in Berlin, the Middle East, the Far
East, anywhere. We have only to knock
the chip off his shoulder, and he is sud-
denly quiet."
REDS RUN FROM FIGHT
Khrushchev and the other Communist
leaders, Mr. Campaigne says, "know who has
the stronger force: economic, political, ethi-
cal, military, and every other. It is we who
are.not sure. With great cunning (Khru-
shchev) has exploited our growing weakness
of character to create in us this dangerous
uncertainty. It is time we saw ourselves as
the enemy sees us, formidable and in fact
unbeatable."
He says in the conclusion of his provoca-
tive book: "As long as we seek 'peace' In the
Soviet sense more than we seek freedom and
liberty, we will remain on the defensive, and
the Communists will keep on winning. If
we wanted that sort of peace at Quemoy, we
could have had it at the price of surrender.
We can have peace in Berlin at the price of
surrender. We can end the whole cold war
at the price of surrender. There is only one
reason for carrying on the cold war. That
is to preserve our liberty and extend all hu-
man liberty. If liberty is important, noth-
ing should deter us. Our foreign policy must
be based on this concept. Until it is, we will
not even begin to succeed."

OF
HON. ROBERT A. EVERETT
OF TENNESSEE
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Monday, June 19, 1961
Mr. EVERETT. Mr. Speaker, all of us,
whether we realize it or not, have a
pocketbook interest in the education and
training of the deaf. It goes beyond our
natural sympathies for the handicapped.
It is a sound public investment to pro-
vide the facilities and the teachers for
deaf children to be developed into self-
supporting citizens and taxpayers.
Unfortunately, despite the efforts of
the State and local governments and
private organizations, there has devel-
oped in our country a critical and grow-
ing shortage of teachers of the deaf.
This problem, because it is national
in scope and because it cannot readily
and feasibly be solved at the State and
local level, addresses itself to the Con-
gress.
The problem is ably discussed in the
following editorial, entitled "Teachers
TEACHERS FOR THE DEAF
In the United States there are about 9
million persons with impediments in hearing
and speech. Science has found how to help
a large part of them, especially the children,
if teachers with special training are avail-
able for the formative years.
But the help gets to only part of the
children for lack of training of enough teach-
ers. There are only about 3,000 speech
pathologists and audiologists with enough
training for professional certification, and
only about 4,000 others are working in this
field, even without being accredited.
For the children alone, leaving to one
side the mature who are handicapped in
voice and ear, about 20,000 professionally
competent teachers are needed. Less than
200 are being graduated from this training
course annually.
This is a branch of education in which
local school boards, or even States, are un-
likely to find a solution. Training for these
special teachers probably will have to be en-
larged by action of the Central Government
if there are to be enough instructors to
prepare these children for as much of a
normal life as they can manage.
A 10-year program of scholarships for these
instructors, beginning with a Federal Gov-
ernment cost of $1.5 million annually, is
before Congress. The Senate approved S.
336 unanimously last year and again this
year. Senator LISTER HILL, Democrat, of
Alabama, is the sponsor.
It is pending in the House before a sub-
committee heEded by Representative EDITH
GREEN, Democrat, of Oregon. It has the sup-
port of the Convention of American Instruc-
tors of the Deaf, the Conference on Execu-
tives of American Schools for the Deaf, and
the Alexander Graham Bell Association for
the Deaf, with Representative CHARLES MCC.
MATHIAS, JR., as spokesman.
Only the normal hearing parents of chil-
dren with this difficulty can appreciate fully
the hope they will have enough trained
teachers. Or the hopelessness of such a
widely scattered need getting adequate at-
tention except at the congressional level.

THE WAR CALLED PEACE-WHAT COMMUNISTS

Simultaneously this past week (1) the
Chinese Communists accused the United
States of "imperialist aggression" for help-

spectable test ban unless Moscow could veto
inspection at will.
That's quite an agenda of diplomatic gall,
even for the Communists. It shouldn't be
surprising because this has been standard
operating practice since the Communists
seized power in Russia 44 years ago. But
it has happened so often that we have be-
come inured to the fantastic effrontery of the
Communists who ask for normal relations
with the non-Communist nations and be-
hind the scenes seek to destroy the West-
ern governments.
What are the Soviet Communists saying
to the nations and peoples who want only
to work out their own destiny free of out-
side interference? It is the judgment of one
of America's most qualified and thoughtful
experts that if you combine in one formula
the various elements of Communist doctrine
and practice and put them together into a
single statement, this is what the Soviet
leaders are really saying to us
"We despise you. We consider that you
should be swept from the earth as govern-
ments and physically destroyed as individ-
uals. We reserve the right in our private, if
not in our official capacities, to do what we
can to bring this about: to revile you pub-
licly, to do everything within our power to
detach your own people from their loyalty
to you and their confidence in you, to sub-
vert your Armed Forces, and to work for your
downfall in favor of a Communist dictator-
ship. But since we are not strong enough to

This appraisal of what the Soviet Com-
munists and their allies in 81 Communist
Parties want to do to the free world does
not come from the head of the John Birch
Society or from the Committee on Un-
American Activities. It comes from George
F. Kennan in his new book, "Russia and the
West." Mr. Kennan is a careful historian,
former U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union,
present Ambassador to Yugoslavia.
"I can assure you," he writes, "that this
formulation is not one whit sharper or more
uncompromising than the language con-
sistently employed by the Soviet leaders."
Mr. Kennan cites this Comintern resolution:
"The Comintern will not let its freedom be
hampered by any obligation whatever. We
are deadly enemies of bourgeois society to the
last breath, in word and in deed, and if neces-
sary with arms in hand. It is the historical
mission of the Communist International. to
be the gravedigger of bourgeois society."
Mr. Kennan is here describing Communist
policy and purpose toward all non-Commu-
nist governments formulated in the 1930's,
which hasn't changed in the least.
It is the same today-in Korea, in Laos, in
Vietnam, in the Congo, at the conference
table at Geneva. To the Communists, United
States aid to the legitimate Government
of South Vietnam is "aggression" because the
Communists recognize no non-Communist
government as ever legitimate.
We are not at peace with the Communists.
We are engaged in a war called peace by
the Communists. We can't afford to think or
act otherwise for one second,
Resolutions Passed by Second National
Congress on Environmental Health
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. JOHN E. FOGARTY
OF RHODE ISLAND
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Monday, June 19, 1961
Mr. FOGARTY. Mr. Speaker, I would
like to have inserted into the RECORD
the resolutions passed by the National
Congress on Environmental Health
which met in Ann Arbor, Mich., June
6-8,1961.
These resolutions were sent to me by
Dr. Henry F. Vaughn, the chairman of
the congress, who has long been one of
the Nation's outstanding health leaders.
He is president of the National Sanita-
tion Foundation and,- until his recent re-
tirement, was dean of the School of
Public Health of Michigan.
I had the privilege of attending the
congress at Ann Arbor, and I was im-
pressed with the number. of top-ranking
industrialists, scientists, and public
health officials from all parts of the
Nation who were there. I found that
these people share my concern about the
increasing pollution of our environment
and its possible effect upon the health
of present and future generations.
Their views underscore what I have
been saying for a long time: that the
Federal Government should be doing
much more than it is to learn what all
these new pollutants are doing to the
health of the people and to bring the
dangerous ones under effective control:
RESOLUTIONS PASSED BY THE SECOND NATIONAL
CONGRESS ON ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH 1 AT
ANN ARBOR, MICH., JUNE 6-8, 1961
A
That man is both the creature and crea-
tor of his environment threaded through
the discussions of the Second National Con-
gress on Environmental Health. The his-
tory of civilization is replete with evidence
that life, health-and death-have been in-
fluenced by physical, chemical, and biologi-
cal forces, as well as bacteriological agents
in the air, water, and land which man needs
for his vital processes and which he uses
in his daily activities. Population growth
and technological development have in-
creased the breadth and changed the char-
acter of the interphase contact in this eco-
logical relationship. Moreover, there are evi-
dences of impact of these two forces on
botanical and zoological aspects of our
world. Observation and ' study now and in
the future will continue to elucidate the
cause and effect relationship of these phe-
nomena as they have in the past. And as
man in his society understands these rela-
tionships he will make choices and take
steps to modify these impacts in such a way
that he profits from the benefits of tech-
nology and population growth without pay-

ing a dear price in health and life to attain
them.
This congress was impressed with the
breadth and scope of current activity by our
industrial, governmental and university in-
stitutions in research and in application or
control in this field. While these activities
demonstrate both present actual and future
potential accomplishment, more importantly,
this congress feels they reveal Inadequacies
which demand immediate, attention, if man,
and the creature of his environment, is to
be a wiser creator of it.
This congress calls upon our Nation's in-
dustries, our universities, and our govern-
ments for stepped-up programs of research
and application and the training of people
to do them. Because it recognized first the
similarities of the chemical, physical, physi-
ological, toxicological, and control problems
in each of the environmental media and
second, the possible additive and cumula-
tive nature of inimical substances, this con-
gress recommends that the efforts be organ-
ized, conducted and reported in such a way
that environmental health, broadly, is
realized.
This congress recognizes the benefits of
cooperation and collaboration between in-
dustries, educational, and governmental in-
stitutions and urges that such endeavors be
elaborated. Yet it recognizes the appropri-
ate interests, responsibilities, and obliga-
tions that each has and encourages each to
develop its appropriate role.
For industries this seems to be especially
in the identification and study of the prob-
lems peculiar to the particular industrial sit-
uation and the development and application
of effective, pertinent control measures to
protect the worker and his community en-
vironment and the consumer.
For educational institutions it is the prep-
aration of technicians and scientists for
their work and the conduct of research both
basic and applied. ,
For government, local, State and National,
it is the encouragement, support, and assist-
ance to industry and university efforts, the
surveillance of the problems and the pro-
grams, and, when necessary, intervention in
the public interest. This Congress feels that
the official health agencies are especially
suited by reason of their legal responsibil-
ities, their programs and their experienced
staffs, to be the organizational focus within
governments for these activities. It urges
health agencies-local, State and national-
to develop effective programs for environ-
mental health enlisting the participation of
private and public groups who have com-
petence, interest and sometimes responsi-
bility for particular aspects of the environ-
ment. It believes that if the U.S., Public
Health Service will develop on the national
level a program in this field, using features
so successful in approaching individual
health problems, such a program will be a
great stimulus to other governmental agen-
cies, universities, and industries who have
like objectives.

Whereas the Congress of the United States
has in several ways recognized the growing
problems of environment associated with
health and has given careful consideration
to the responsibilities of the Federal Gov-
ernment with respect thereto, and

development of resources necessary to pre-

brash or unseemly for Senators who are
required to confirm appointments to busy
themselves with trying to find the best
qualified men, especially when the Presi-
dent has invited such action.
Furthermore, a considerable amount
of cynicism was involved in not expand-
ing the number of Federal judges for a
very long time, notwithstanding the best
efforts of my colleague and myself, he
in the other body and in the Senate,
and I here, together with many other
Senators. So I do not believe those who
are parties to that operation have any
right to talk about cynicism, or any-
thing being done that is unseemly.
Finally, my colleague has pointed
out the core of this entire proposal.
One-third of the number of judges of
the United States will be newly ap-
pointed. The very weight of that num-
ber of appointments completely out-
weights any party or other considera-
tions which might normally enter the
mind of the new President.
The President has an enormous re-
sponsibility. I think it is our duty to
contribute to enabling him to, carry it
with the greatest credit to the country,
in every way we can.
I again express my appreciation to
my colleague from New York for his
knowledge of this subject and for his
research into it, and for presenting the
matter as forcibly as he has. It will be
an honor for me to continue as his
brother in arms until the job is done
properly for the American people.
Mr. KEATING. I am grateful to my
distinguished colleague from New York
for the very fine remarks he has made
and for his stalwart position in support
of what both of us feel is right and just.
I stress again that I know he shares my
hope and my expectation that the
President of the United States will wel-
come this material in the same way that
the Attorney General has greeted it. We
have no reason for believing that the
President will do anything other than
endeavor to select outstanding men for
Federal judgeships.
VISIT TO THE SENATE BY MEMBERS
OF THE PARLIAMENT OF FINLAND
Mr. HUMPHREY. Mr. President, we
are privileged today to have in the Sen-
ate Chamber a delegation of 10 from the
Parliament of Finland. The delegation
has been at luncheon with members of
the Committee on Foreign Relations and

these fine men, who represent the great
and courageous country of Finland.
The people of the United States hold
the people of Finland in the highest

VISIT TO THE SENATE BY SENATOR
HENRIK VOS, THE NETHERLANDS;
AND HON. GUNNAR HECKSCHER,
MEMBER OF THE SWEDISH RIKS-
DAG
Mr. JAVITS. Mr. President, I, too,
have escorted two parliamentarians into
the Chamber, who are guests, the Honor-
able Gunnar Heckscher, member of the
Riksdag of Sweden; and the Honorable
Henrik Vos, a senator from the Nether-
lands. They are here in the United
States in connection with the parlia-
mentary activities of the organization

behind us. [App use, Senators ris-
TATION OF CUBAN MOLASSES
Mr. ELLENDER. Mr. President, I call
to the attention of the Senate two tele-
grams that have been sent to the Presi-
dent today in regard to a shipment of
molasses from Cuba which is being un-
loaded in New Orleans today. Some
months ago, the Publicker Industries,
of Philadelphia, requested our Depart-
ment of Agriculture to sell them surplus
corn at greatly reduced prices in order
to convert it into alcohol. The implied
threat was made by Publicker Industries
that, unless negotiations were success-
ful in getting the Department to sell
them this surplus corn at reduced prices,
they would make every effort to obtain
the necessary molasses from Cuba.
For the last 4 or 5 months now I
have been advocating a complete em-
bargo on all trade between our country
and Cuba. Here we are confronted with
a situation today that to me is intoler-
able. Today there is being unloaded in
the city of New Orleans a tanker-load
of molasses from Cuba, notwithstanding
the fact that negotiations are being
carried on by Publicker Industries with
the Department of Agriculture for this
surplus grain. The Department had
entered into these negotiations in good
faith, but apparently, Publicker Indus-
tries wanted more.
I wish to read into the RECORD two
telegrams sent to the President as well
as to Mr. Dean Rusk, the Secretary of
State, and Mr. Luther Hodges, Secretary
of Commerce:
The telegram is dated today, and it
reads:
We wish to protest in strongest possible
manner recent action by Publicker Industries
in importing into New Orleans tanker-load
of Cuban molasses which we understand is
being unloaded today. It is our understand-
ing that the Department of Agriculture was
negotiating with Publicker in good faith to
arrive at terms to provide them with sur-
plus grain for conversion into alcohol; yet,
at the same time this company in defiance
of President's request is importing black
strap molasses from Cuba at a price sub-
stantially lower than other importers have
paid.
Your prompt action to halt this shipment
would be appreciated.
The telegram is signed by me, by my
colleague from Louisiana (Mr, LONG],
as well as by HALE BOGGS and E. E. WIL-
LIs, Members of Congress.
A few minutes thereafter I had a tele-
gram dispatched to the President, with
copies going to the Secretary of State,
Dean Rusk, and the Secretary of Com-
merce, Luther Hodges, as follows:
Hon. JOHN F. KENNEDY,
The President,
The White House,
Washington, D.C.
With reference to our earlier telegram con-
cerning shipment of Cuban molasses into
New Orleans by Publicker Industries, it is
now our understanding that the shipment
currently being unloaded is only one of a
number planned by Publicker. Since there
is no other alternative, we respectfully re-
quest at this time that you invoke the Trad-
ing with the Enemy Act to halt this and
future shipments of black strap molasses
from Cuba.
This telegram is signed by me, by my
colleague from Louisiana [Mr. LONG],
and by HALE BOGGS and E. E. WILLIS,
Members of Congress.

10016 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD -SENATE
Mr. LONG of Louisiana. Mr. Presi-
dent, will the Senator yield?
Mr. ELLENDER. I Yield.
Mr. KEATING. Mr. President, I have
the floor. I am happy to yield to my
other colleague from Louisiana, with
the same understanding.
Mr. ELLENDER. I thank the Senator
for permitting me to engage in this col-
loquy. I have a meeting of the Appro-
priations Committee to attend, and he
was most kind to allow me the opportu-
nity to speak at this time.
Mr. KEATING. I am happy to yield
to the Senator.
Mr. LONG of Louisiana. Mr. Presi-
dent, I ask my friend if he does not find
himself confused to find Castro firmly
back in the saddle again? Some of us
though that this administration had
found Castro to be unfriendly. Appar-
ently, whether the tractors-for-prisoners
deal goes through or not, Castro is now
in charge and now has the American
market available to him, for whatever
he wishes to send to America, with the
full backing of American Industry.
From time to time, this Nation should
act with some degree of unanimity. We
should not make way for people who
have current demands for some selfish
advantage in dealing with the Cuban
Government.
Perhaps the administration will be
able to stand up to Castro for a change,
and tell him that market is no longer
his. Certainly in the absence of Castro
making a deal on tractors that should be
done, since he is holding it up at this
time.
Where has this procedure been au-
thorized. Who gave authority for the
deal?
Mr. ELLENDER. As I stated a mo-
ment ago, in order to preclude the Pub-
licker Industries from going to Cuba for
the molasses, an effort was made to sell
them surplus grain. The company took
the position that if we were able to let
them have the surplus grain at reduced
rates, they would not purchase the mo-
lasses from Cuba. But notwithstanding
the fact that efforts are now being made
to meet the demands of Publicker In-
dustries, and that negotiations are un-
derway between their representatives
and those of the Department of Agricul-
ture, they have maneuvered to such an
extent that they have obtained this mo-
lasses from Cuba. It strikes me that the
President should make every effort and
should use all the power at his command
to prevent this. As I said, the longer
we feed that scoundrel from Cuba, the
stronger he will get and the more trouble
we will have with him.
It is my hope that the President will
take action now-not tomorrow, but
now, because the molasses is being un-
loaded now, and there is more to come.
The more trade we have with Castro the
stronger he will get. I simply cannot
understand it. I am puzzled.
We sent these telegrams to the Presi-
dent in the hope that he will act immedi-
ately.
Mr. LONG of Louisiana. Would the
Senator not agree that this is a great
victory for Castro? This Government
is so big and unwieldy that Castro can
continue to raid the American market
notwithstanding the fact that he is no
longer acceptable to some quarters?
Mr. ELLENDER. I cannot under-
stand why that action is taken. The
Publicker Industries must have some
great amount of influence, to be able to
buy this product from Castro notwith-
standing the fact that they are still ne-
gotiating to buy this surplus grain. I
cannot understand it, It is a puzzling
situation.
Mr. KEATING. Mr. President, before
yielding to my colleague from Delaware
[Mr. WILLIAMS] I wish to say to the Sen-
ators from Louisiana that I agree with
them thoroughly. Long before this we
should have ended all trade with Castro's
Communist government. The sooner
we come to a realization that this step
must be taken, the better it will befor all
concerned.
I am very happy that the two Senators
from Louisiana and their House col-
leagues have joined in sending a force-
ful telegram on the subject to the Pres-
ident. I hope it will get the desired re-
sults.
Mr. President, I now yield, with the
same understanding, to my good friend
from Delaware [Mr. WILLIAMS].
Mr. WILLIAMS of Delaware. Mr.
President, I wish to join the Senators
from Louisiana and the Senator from
New York in protesting any trade with
Castro. It is indefensible that we in the
United States should be buying mo-
lasses or anything else from Castro, par-
ticularly since many officials in high
places in the Government are criticizing
our neighbors to the north for carrying
on trade with this same Cuban regime.
I have no brief whatever for the
Publicker Industries' point of view that
if they cannot get cheap corn or sub-
sidized corn from the Government in
order to manufacture their products
they shall insist upon the right to trade
with Cuba. So far as I am concerned,
we should stop all trade with Cuba, and
at the same time we should let Pub-
licker Industries pay the regular price
for corn in the United States. Cer-
tainly we should not be held up by
blackmail in our own country with the
position that we have to subsidize the
alcohol industry in this country in or-
der to keep it from trading with Cuba.
The time has come when the President
and the administration should stop the
Cuban trade-period-and let Publicker
and other companies buy American
products and pay American prices.
Mr. KEATING. Mr. President, be-
fore resuming my remarks I wish to
say it is my understanding that all the
colloquy on unrelated subjects will be
printed in the Rrcoezn following my re-
marks.
FORMER VICE PRESIDENT NIXON'S.
ARTICLE ON THE MAJOR PROB-
LEMS FACING THE NATION AND
THE FREE WORLD
Mr. MILLER. Mr. President, in this
morning's edition of the Washington
Post appears the first in a series of 10
articles to be published in the coming
year by Richard M. Nixon, former Vice
June 20
President of the United States. This
first article is of particular timeliness
and importance, because it places the
finger squarely on the major problem
facing this Nation and the free world
today. That problem is one of firmness
of our national will to resist the ag-
gression of the Communist world-a
willingness to fight, if necessary, to
maintain- our freedom.
Mr. Nixon well points out the long-
recognized principle that when dealing
with Communists' action and not words
is what counts. We learned at the cost
of thousands of casualties in the Korean
war that the slightest indication on our
part that we are unwilling to fight will
be interpreted by the Soviets as a green
light to more aggression. Such a mis-
calculation results in war.
I must say that I am deeply disturbed
over the negative results of the recent
summit meeting, so-called, in Vienna.
If the purpose of this meeting, as far as
the administration is concerned, was to
convince Premier Khrushchev that we
mean business when we say that we will
not permit Communist aggression, direct
or indirect, as far as Berlin and other
sensitive areas of the World are con-
cerned, then this purpose has failed
miserably-so miserably that it might
well be that we would be better off had
the Vienna meeting not taken place at
all-at least at this time. The principal
result of this meeting appears to be that
Premier Khrushchev became convinced
that we would back down on Berlin, and
so he gave the President his timetable
which is to have the Berlin problem
settled-in the Soviet way-by the end
of this year.
If the purpose of this meeting, as far
as the administration is concerned, was
to obtain cooperation from Premier
Khrushchev in working out an agree-
ment for inspection and control in nu-
clear test ban talks, then this purpose
has failed miserably-for the Soviets
have called off further talks in this area.
If the purpose of this meeting, as far
as the administration is concerned, was
to further the cause of peaceful co-
existence with the Communists, then
this purpose was doomed to failure from
the beginning-because there can be no
such thing as peaceful coexistence, as
we define those words, with an aggressive
philosophy dedicated to world domina-
tion, with the United States as its num-
ber one target.
This is no time for so-called "au-
thoritative sources" in the administra-
tion to suggest that the admission of
Red China to the United Nations is in-
evitable. This is no time for responsible
leaders in the administration to suggest
a solution to the Berlin problem which,
as Mr. Nixon says, has its origins in the
war councils of the Soviet Union. This
is no time for the President to say "Our
greatest adversary is not the Russians.
It is our own unwillingness to do what
must be done," when the American peo-
ple are, as Mr. Nixon assures us, far
ahead of the administration in their will-
ingness and determination to do what is
necessary to defend our freedom against
aggression.
