OF INDIANA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Wednesday, March 6, 1963
Mr. WILSON of Indiana. Mr. Speaker,
while a committee of this House holds
hearings on managed news and the New
Frontier's own brand of almost total
censorship, the so-called country press is
anything but fooled. Daily in news-
papers arriving in my office, I find edi-
torial expression of the insight and
knowledge about today's events possessed
by Midwestern newspapers.
'Under unanimous consent I insert at
this point in the RECORD, as an example,
an editorial from the Madison Courier of
March 15, 1963, which shows graphically
what the editor of that newspftper, Mr.
Lloyd G. Neal, thinks about our Cuban
Although New Frontiersmen in Washing-
ton insist that President Kennedy made no
deals with Premier Khrushchev to obtain
removal of offensive weapons from Cuba, an
exchange of letters from October 26 to Oc-
tober 29, 1962, reveal a number of conditions
and demands laid down by the two leaders.
Mr. K. demanded as a condition for re-
moval of Soviet missiles from Cuba that the
United States close its Jupiter bases in
Turkey and guarantee Cuba against invasion.
Asked for, but not as a condition for re-
moving missiles, was the closing of all other
bases surrounding Russia, including other
Jupiter bases in Italy, and the airfields from
which U.S. bombers carrying nuclear weapons
could attack the U.S.S.R.
Several days after the initial exchange of
letters. Khrushchev said the Soviet Union
would back Cuba's demands that the United
States give up its naval base at Guantanamo
Bay.
J.F.K.'s requests were less complicated:
Removal of offensive weapons systems from
the island nation and supervised inspection
to guarantee that all missiles and bombers
were removed.
Today, just 4 months after the conditions
were laid down by both sides, the box-score
reads like this:
Missiles: The U.S.S.R. dismantled and re-
moved 42 medium-and intermediate-range
missiles from Cuba. The United States or-
dered shut down 15 Jupiter intermediate-
range missiles in Turkey and 30 in Italy.
Score: 45 to 42, In favor of Russia.
Bombers: Khrushchev ordered 42 Russian
IL-28 jet bombers from Cuba. The Kennedy
administration has ordered the eventual
closing of all B-47 jet bomber bases around
the Russian periphery, approximately 1,000
aircraft. Score: 1,000 to 42 for the U.S.S.R.
Mr. PIRNIE. Mr. Speaker, by grant-
ing Sir Winston Churchill honorary
American citizenship, the House pays a
great man a singular and well-deserved
tribute.
His contributions to the preservation
of American freedom in a time of
supreme crisis, for all of Western civili-
zation, fill the pages of modern history.
In the 1930's he courageously defied the
appeasement policies of his own country
which culminated in tho Munich capitu-
lation and the advent of World War II.
In the early months of the war, when
Hitler's armies had triumphantly sub-
dued the European Continent, leaving
England to fight on alone, his eloquent
voice and masterful personality provided
& -rallying point for the hopes of both
the free and the enslaved nations. His
dogged determination sustained Eng-
-1dnd during her darkest hour and held
.the Atlantic frontier safe until America
entered the war. Thus. he gave his na-
tion one of its finest hours.
For these and other acts born of con-
8innmate wisdom and indomitable cour-
age. we owe Sir Winston an immeas-
urable debt of gratitude which House

affection for him is deeper, not only

hall's far more scholarly contemporary, Rabbi
David 'Einhorn, then of Baltimore-he was
forced to flee from this city when a mob
threatened to lynch him--called slavery "the
greatest possible crime against God."
The fact is that the Bible, while recog-
nizing slavery, constantly tries to humanize
the institution. Thus, while as late as 1854
the Congress of the United States passed a
law making it mandatory to restore fugi-
tive slaves to their master, the Book of
Deuteronomy (23: 16-17) commands:
"Thou shalt not deliver unto his master
a slave that is escaped from his master. He
shall dwell with thee * * * in the place
which he shall choose within one of thy
gates, where it liketh him best; thou shalt
not wrong him."
.Even more significant is the experience of
Miriam, sister of Moses, as recounted in the
Book of Numbers (12: 1-9), when she and
Aaron "spoke against Moses because of the
Ethiopian woman whom he had married."
She is punished by being stricken with lep-
rosy. Aaron pleads with Moses that she be
forgiven. Moses prays to God on her be-
half and after 7 days she is healed.
Like all peoples, ancient and modern alike,
the Hebrews of Bible times regarded them-
selves as the chosen of God. As proof of
their superiority, they would point to their
miraculous deliverance from Egypt by God's
mighty hand and outstretched arm. The
prophet Amos reminds his people that all
races and peoples are equally loved by God
when he cries: "Are ye not as the Ethiopians
unto Me, 0 children of Israel? saith the
Lord" (9: 7). Yes, God brought Israel out
of Egypt, but He also brought the Philis-
tines out of Caphtor and the Syrians out of
Kir.
The glorious and undying message of the
Book of Jonah is oft obscured in the minds
of many by reason of the unimportant and
inconsequential incident of the whale or, as
the story has it, the "great fish" which God
had especially prepared. Jonah is coln-
manded by God to journey to Nineveh, "that
great city," and plead with the people to
mend their ways lest they be destroyed by
the corruption and wickedness into which
they had fallen. The prophet flatly refuses
to obey God's command, boards a ship and
begins his journey westward toward Tarshish
rather than eastward in the direction, of
Nineveh. Why? Because he feels himself
superior to the people of Nineveh, has no
pity for them and is quite content for them
to be destroyed. Whereupon God again or-
ders him to go to Nineveh and this time he
obeys. He preaches to the people and mira-
ble dictu, they hearken to him, repent and
are saved from destruction.
Now one might think'that the prophet
would have rejoiced over his successful
preaching_ mission. But not Jonah. He is
exceedingly displeased and downright angry
over the outcome, even to the point of wish-
ing that he were dead. Then he is again
filled with anger when a gourd which God
had caused to grow out of the earth to
shield him from the sun withers the next
morning. The sublime lesson of God's con-
cern for all His children, whatever be their
race or creed or nationality, is driven home
in the last two sentences of the book of
Jonah:
"And the Lord said: 'Thou hast had pity
on the gourd, for which thou hast not la-
bored, neither madest it grow, which came
up in a night and perished in a night;
shouldst thou not have pity on Nineveh,
that great city, wherein are more than six
score thousand persons that cannot discern
between their right hand and their left
hand, and also much cattle?' "
In view of its significant and enduring
challenge , to humankind throughout the
ages and even to our own times, it is not
surprising that the ancient rabbis ordained
that the Book of Jonah should be read in
all synagogues on the Day of Atonement,
the most sacred holy day in the Jewish
religious calendar, a practice which is ob-
served to this very day.
Racial discrimination has been defined as
"the unjust separation of people from things
and circumstances" and segregation as "the
immoral separation of people from people"
(Kyle"Haselden). Many organizations are
dedicated to breaking down the cruel walls
and barriers which divide people from peo-
ple. They demand that the right to vote,
to equal educational opportunities, to equal
employment"opportunities and to adequate
housing shall be denied to no man on ac-
count of difference in race. In this battle
to build a society and a world in which the
dignity of every human being is jealously
guarded and the equality of all men taken
for granted, the forces of religion, if they are
true to their purpose, must, both by precept
and example, be in the forefront, leading and
not following, courageously fulfilling their
prophetic mission of being the conscience-of
humankind.
To them, religion in, its truest and finest
sense is a certain way, based upon man's
awareness of God and God's requirements
of His children, of looking at all things. For
them religion is only partly concerned with
enabling souls to enter heaven. Its prin-
cipal purpose is to help create a little more
.heaven on earth for all the,children of God
as' taught by the prophets of the Bible. That
is why the prophets preached against corrupt
politics, land monopoly, social injustice,
racial bigotry, national arrogance. Micah
summed up his concept of religion in the
famed utterance wherein he declared that
walking humbly with God constitutes just
one-third of our Heavenly Father's require-
ments of man. The other two-thirds con-
sist of doing justly and loving mercy.
It is, of course, one thing to proclaim
lofty teachings which envisage a society
wherein all human beings live together as
brothers, It is quite something else to Im-
plement these principles of simple justice.
When a priest, minister, or rabbi exerefses
his right, as a teacher of religion, to de-
nounce not alone evil but evil doers and
speaks out forthrightly in defense. of those
who are denied the elementary rights which
belong to all human beings, he is likely to
share the experience of Amos, who was told
in so many words by Amaziah, the priest
of Beth-El: "Go peddle your radicalism
somewhere else, where the overhead isn't
so high."
In the minds of many laymen, and some
ministers of religion, there appears to be a
dichotomy between religion and life., They
insist that preachers confine themselves to
purely religious matters, which have little
or_ nothing to do with the practical affairs
of life. Several years ago a young rabbi
expressed both amusement and sadness when
he learned that an important member of his
congregation vigorously objected to a pas-
sage in one of his sermons wherein he ex-
pressed sympathy for a young Negro who
had been brutally murdered by a mob. His
congregant objected on the grounds that his
rabbi "had no business mentioning politics"
in his sermon. The pulpit of this rabbi, by
the way, is not in Mississippi or in some
other southern community, but in enlight-
ened California. Basically, race prejudice is
not .a political or an economic problem but
a moral and religious problem.
If this Conference on Religion and Race
is to succeed in achieving its objectives, we
must make it crystal clear that while we
are 'all uncompromisingly loyal to our re-
spective religious convictions, practices, and
ceremonials, we are united as sons and
daughters of Catholicism, Protestantism, and
Judaism in our equally uncompromising af-
firmation that God "hath made of one blood
all nations of men for to dwell on all the
face of the earth" (Acts 17:26) and that all
human beings are descended from one com-
mon ancestor, proving thereby that no man
1s racially superior or inferior to his fellow
man. Created in the image of the Divine,
all men enjoy equal spiritual dignity. They
are entitled to the same rights and upon all
alike devolve the same responsibilities.
It is well known that proponents of racism
and segregation have quoted the Bible to
prove the existence of superior and inferior
races as a manifestation of God's will. Thus,
shortly before the outbreak of the Civil War
a distinguished rabbi of New York City,
Morris J. Raphall, delivered a scholarly ad-
dress which brought comfort to believers in
human slavery. Rabbi Raphall was only one
of numerous ministers of religion through-
out the centuries and even to our day who
pointed to many Biblical ordinances and laws
as evidence that the Bible condones slavery.
That the Bible also condones polygamy
seemed, to have escaped their notice. The
fact is that a, great many customs and prac-
tices to be found in the Bible merely reflect
the mores of ancient society. Rabbi Rap-

anced budgets. The following editorial
from the Washington Daily News is an
example of favorable reaction and I am
asking that it be inserted in the CON-
GRESSIONAL RECORD in the hope that it
might inspire our National Government
to follow the same course.
The editorial follows:
WATCH OHIO
One of the most interesting developments
in government in the Nation today is oc-
curring in Ohio.
There the . new Republican Governor,
James A. Rhodes, is doing something most
of his fellow Governors, and President
Kennedy, claim is impossible.
In office only 8 weeks, he has ordered 7,000
State employees cut from the payroll, im-
posed a 9.1-percent cut in funds of all State
departments, dropped $120 million of State-
financed projects and even sliced welfare
and relief funds. The point in reducing
State relief contributions is not to cut pay-
ments to recipients but to force relief ad-
ministrators to tighten the relief rolls.
Governor Rhodes is trying to make Ohio
the testing ground of an economic program
in sharp contrast to that of the New Fron-
tier. He thinks by rigid government
economy and no increased State taxes for
4 years, his program will encourage industry
to expand and locate in Ohio, thus relieving
the State's economic and fiscal problems.
. Only time will tell whether his slashes in
State services will arouse the wrath of a
majority of his constituents-most of whom,
as judged by Washington politicians, want
only more and more from Government.
Whatever the outcome, Governor Rhodes
at least has the guts to try to restore old-
fashioned frugality. If successful, he will

She ranks of stalwart Columbiana lessened
in-.the death on Tuesday of Col. Albert S.
Oailan, Sr., of Chatham. He was a vigorous
and active. man throughout his lifetime in
many lines of endeavor and his passing
came as a severe shock to countless admirers
and friends, even though they had known
for some time he was in falling health.
There were so many facets associated with
his life and career that a writer has the
problem of dealing sufficiently with them
and their order of Importance. Included
were over 50 years as publisher of the Cha-
tham Courier, historian, political leader and
adviser, legislator, soldier. He might be
called the father of the American Legion
in Columbia County as it was he who fos-
tered practically all the posts numbered here.
He was the first commander of the county
-Legion and he was one of the earliest of the
State commanders.
Colonel Callan was a rugged exponent of
the philosophy of the Republican Party
principles, both with pen and voice. His
'belief in that party was so stanch that he
never wavered In his support of that organi-
zation no matter how strong his personal
regard, admiration or even affection of mem-
bers of the rival major party, was. Over the
period of a great many years, it was his
judgment, advice and counsel that enabled
the GOP to maintain Its weight and pre-
ponderance In Columbia County. His coun-
eel was also sought by State leaders and he
-always responded to appeals to stimulate
campaigns In other areas. 'He truly was one
of the vanls iIng school of old-time and ef-
fective orators. He did not become a dis-
ciple of the modern school which produces
readers chanting or parroting the works of
ghost writers. He was invited to speak In
every county of New York State In political
campaigns over the years and the power and
appeal of his voice was widely recognized.
,He thriilee to the combat of political wqr
but he was a generous victor in thought and
action. He was always a friendly business
competitor and frequently visited this office
to chat and exchange greetings with old
friends and acquaintances and It can be said
his visitations were relished and enjoyed by
us. A vigorous and enthusiastic man, he
possessed a most appealing personality and
It was a pleasure to meet and visit with him
on many and all occasions.
There are many who will remember Col.
Albert S. Callan for a long time and there
are many who will always cherish memories
of his kind and generous acts. We are in-
cluded among the friends who mourn the
passing of a fine citizen and an intense and
outstanding son of Columbia.

RON. HUGH SCOTT
Or PENNSYLVANV,
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
Tuesday, March 19, 1963
Mr. SCOTT. Mr. President, the Wash-
ington Star of March 21 contains an
interesting editorial that I would like to
call to the attention of the Senate. In
discussing the rumored removal of Soviet
troops from Cuba, the editorial says:
After all, since'-there are at present about
17,000 Soviet soldiers and technicians In
Cuba, the withdrawal of, say, 5,000 would
still leave the Kremlin with a relatively for-
midatle force * on the small captive Island.
And why should such a force be maintained
there?
Why, indeed? I ask unanimous con-
sent that the editorial be printed in the
Appendix of the RECORD.
There being no objection, the editorial
was ordered to be printed in the RECORD,
as follows:
Or ALL OF THEM OUT
As far as it goes, It is welcome news that
Soviet Ambassador Dobrynin has publicly
reaffirmed Premier Shrushchev's promise to
withdraw "several thousand" Russian troops
from Cuba by the end of the week. But
what Is meant by "several"? four? five? six?
The. Kremlin remains altogether vague on
the subject, and the Americas therefore have
reason to feel a continuing sense of deep
concern.
After all, since there are at present about
17,000 Soviet soldiers and technicians in
Cuba, the "withdrawal of, say, 5,000 would
still leave the Kremlin with a relatively
formidable force on the small captive island.
And why should such a force be maintained
there? One plausible explanation is that
it could be used effectively in a long-term
program designed to train traitorous Latins
to carryout sabotage,' subversion, and guer-
rills warfare against their native countries--
a program with the ultimate objective of
communizing the hemisphere. And another
explanation is that the force could be put
into swift action to smash any possible pop-
ular uprising against Fidel Castro's tyranny.
It Is because of these and kindred con-
siderations that Defense Secretary McNamara
has warned Moscow that the United. States
will never tolerate Russian combat opera-
tions in the Americas. And for the same
reasons Secretary Rusk has declared' that so
long as there Is a Soviet "military presence"
in Cuba, and so long as a Marxist-Leninist
situation exists there, there will be "un-
finished business" in the Western Hemi-
sphere. Certainly, even if there `Is a pullout
this week of 5,000 or so of the Kremlin's
troops, the basic menace will still remain-
a menace grave enough to call for the closest
possible inter-American cooperation to con-
tain and counter it, politically, economically,
and otherwise.
This prospect will change for the better
only when, as, and if the men of the Kremlin
decide to remove from Cuba all their troops
and arms. Clearly, unless and until that de-
cision is made, there will be precious little
chance of easing international tension and
promoting a trustworthy peace.
