"We plan to use these resources as we
need them and particularly will we use them
in the critical Colorado River Basin," he
added.
He urged all those interested In water to
work toward new national goals described by
President Kennedy-that of having suffi-
cient water, Sufficiently clean, at the right
place and at the right time.
"As the country develops its efficiency in
use of water, the water is bound to increase
in salinity," he said.
"We have a challenge facing us there," he
said. "Two years ago our concern was with
radiation. Today it is salinity," he added.
"One thing we know is that we won't get
more water," he said, "but we will get more
people. We've got to increase our efficiency.
The matter of controlling pollution is be-
coming a real challenge."

OFFICIALS PRESS ORCHARD MESA SEWAGE
CLEANUP
(By Alice Wright)
Something must be done about Orchard
Mesa sewage, and soon. That's the word
from health officials.
The sewerline dumping raw sewage into
the Colorado River at the Fifth Street Bridge
has been branded as intolerable.
So has the seepage bubbling up from doz-
ens.of septic tanks: Some of the seep un-
doubtedly drains into the river.
Health authorities, both county and State,
are preparing to apply the squeeze if neces-
sary, to correct the situation.
Either the citizens get together and come
up with a concrete plan, or, there's always
the court order route.
Willing cooperation is preferable, because
it is less costly and faster, according to Frank
Brown, the State health department's sani-
tation engineer on the Western Slope.
"We feel the citizens themselves should
decide how they want to handle the matter,"
according to Everett Marsden, acting direc-
tor of the Mesa County Health Department.
Both men, incidentally, live on Orchard
Mesa.
The situation there points up a problem
prevalent along much of the Colorado River,
which has been referred to as one of the
country's longest sewerlines.
Two solutions are possible locally, Brown
says. The residents could. form a sanitation
district to construct a collection system and
build a treatment plant. Or it could use
the city's two plants, which probably would
mean annexation.
While the line dumps considerable raw
sewage into the river, it serves only a very
small portion of the area, Brown says. Chief
contributors are a dairy, a trailer court, and
several businesses along Highway 50 imme-
diately south of the river.
The problem area actually extends out to
around 29 Road, between the river and
Highway 60. All of the residences and busi-
nesses in this area use septic tanks.
Those residents who have been having tank
trouble will not be hard to convince of the
necessity, Brown says. Others may be.
Septic tanks in general are. usable for
about 20 years, Brown .says, although many
of them will not last anything like that long.
Their lifespan depends on the amount of
water usage, the size of the tank, and soil
conditions.
The Mesa County Health Department is
conducting a survey of the area to see how
many residences and business places are tied
into the existing line, and how many have
been having trouble.
The State health department has made
some tests of effluents reaching the river
and will make more, Brown says.
When the survey is complete, the next
step will be to call a public meeting and lay
the facts on the line.
Whatever plan the citizens adopt is bound
to be expensive, Brown says. He believes
annexation would be less expensive in the
long run, because sewage collection lines
could be tied into either or both of the city's
treatment plants.
Lines could bridge the river, one to the
plant which is immediately east of the Cli-
max Uranium Mill, the other tied to the
Fifth Street Bridge and dumping into the lift
station there, for routing to the plant at
First Street and North Avenue.
Prayers Asked for the Presiding Bishop

HON. PAUL FINDLEY
OF ILLINOIS
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Monday, April 1, 1963
Mr. FINDLEY. Mr. Speaker, Episco-
palians and non-Episcopalians alike
throughout the Nation were saddened
last week to hear that the presiding bish-
op of the Episcopal Church, the Most
Reverend Arthur Lichtenberger, is suf-
fering from Parkinson's disease, and will
in all likelihood have to retire at the next
convention of the Episcopal Church to be
held in St. Louis next year.
The Episcopal diocese of Springfield
covers a substantial part of my congres-
sional district, and it is with. deep pride
that I noted that our newly consecrated
bishop, the Right Reverend Albert A.
-Chambers, was the first Episcopal bishop
in our country to ask for diocesanwide
home and public prayers for the ailing
Episcopal presiding bishop.
The leadership of Bishop Chambers is
typical of the firm and constructive
things he has done since he was conse-
crated October 1, 1962, as the bishop of
Springfield by Presiding Bishop Lichten-
berger.
I join the many members of Bishop
Chambers' Church and his friends in
commending the diocese of Springfield's
leadership in this matter, and I hope
that the example being set in Illinois will
be followed in other parts of the country.
In a statement the Right Reverend
Albert ?A. Chambers, bishop of Illinois,
said:
Like the human body, the holy, catholic,
and apostolic church, of which the Episcopal
Church is a living part, suffers when one of
its key members suffers from a disabling dis-
ease. Since the church is moreover the com-
munion of saints, we ought to pray for one
another, even as the faithful of other ages
pray for us.
Hochstein Sinfonia Achieves Merit Early

HON. FRANK J. HORTON
OF NEW YORK
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Monday, March 4, 1963
Mr. HORTON. Mr. Speaker, an or-
chestra from my home community of
Rochester, N.Y., has won outstanding
acclaim for its rapid development. The
Hochstein Sinfonia, after performing
widely in its home area, recently took its
talents on tour. One of the tour points
was here in Washington, D.C., where the
orchestra gave a notable concert in the
Cramton Auditorium on the Howard
University campus. This concert
thrilled the audience and brought criti-
cal praise to the performers. I take
pleasure in noting the Hochstein Sin-
fonia's enthusiastic reception in the Na-
tion's Capital and commend to the
reading of my colleagues this review
from the Washington Evening Star:
HOCHSTEIN SINFONIA ACHIEVES MERIT
EARLY
(By John Haskins)
(NOTE.-Hochstein Sinfonia, of Rochester,
N.Y.; Paul Freeman, conductor. Soloist:
Calvin Dash, baritone. At Cramton Audi-
torium, Howard University. Program: "Toc-
cata," Frescobaldi-Kindler; "Allegro Moder-
ato," from "Symphony No. 8 in B Minor,"
Schubert; "pane Rhythms for Orchestra,"
opus 58, Riegger; orchestral prelude to act

"L'Arlesienne Suite," Bizet.)
The. Hochstein Music School in Rochester
was founded as a memorial to a Rochester
violinist named David Hochstein, who was
a combat casualty of World War I. Original-
ly established as a school to train musical
children, its enrollment `has expanded to
include some 400 students, 4 to 73 years of
age, with a specialized faculty of 48.
The Hochstein Sinfonia, a 45-piece en-
semble led by the school's director, is one of
those hybrid faculty-community groups
which abound in musical centers, and its
membership is mostly quite young.
Conductor Freeman, born in Richmond, is
a product of the Eastman School of Music
in Rochester, and is currently a candidate
for a doctorate in music at that institution.
He is a properly schooled batoneer, some-
what florid in a stately old-fashioned way,
but businesslike on the podium. His or-
chestra plays well what it like to play, with
good string tone.
Baritone soloist Calvin Dash displayed a
voice with a ringing top and an insufficient
bottom. Nerves seemed to trouble his pro-
jection during his recitative and aria from

"ri Trovatore," while therewere times during
the Pagllacci prolog when he suffered the
embarrassment of being covered by the or-
chestra. He did not always receive perfect
support, which may have caused him to press
a little.
The best moments of the evening came
in Hans Kindler's very free transcription of
the Frescobaldi toccata. in Wallingford Rleg-
ger's "Dance Rhythms" and in the Faure
prelude. For an orchestra formed as recent-
ly as 1960, and one of such beterogenous
character as usually distinguishes voluntary
groups, the ensemble has merit.
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. BRUCE ALGER
OF TEXAS
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Monday, April 1, 1963
Mr. ALGER. Mr. Speaker, I would
like to call the attention of the House
to an excellent editorial which appeared
in the Dallas Morning News of March 20,
1963. The editorial points out that
President Kennedy has issued great ora-
tory, but has taken little action toward
moving Cuba out from under its Com-
munist sphere. Text of the editorial is
as follows:
WORDS NOT ENOUGH
"We will build a wall around Cuba, not a
wall of mortar or brick or barbed wire, but
a wall of dedicated men to protect their own
freedom and sovereignty." The words-by
President Kennedy at the Inter-American
Conference in Costa Rica-may strike a re-
sponsive chord or appeal to the idealistic
purposes of this Nation and Its neighbors.
But what do they mean?
What is a wall of freedom? How does It,
or how can it, protect the sovereignty of na-
tions and the liberty of their peoples?
Was there not a wall of freedom surround-
ing Cuba before Fidel Castro came out of the
hills to tyrannize its people? If the wall did
not stop him then, how can It be expected
to overthrow his regime now so well guarded
by Soviet troops and weapons?
Did a wall of freedom confronting the
Soviet Union a few years ago prevent that
aggressive colonialist nation from overrun-
ning Its neighbors in Eastern Europe?
Has a wall of freedom overthrown the
totalitarianism which enslaves the people
of Hungary, Tibet, Red China, and other
Red spots around the globe?
Two months ago President Kennedy ad-
dressed a crowd of Cuban exiles and pris-
oners liberated from Castro's dungeons and
told them it was "the strongest wish of the
people of this country, as well as the peo-
ple of this hemisphere, that Cuba shall one
day be free again."
Then, as now, the President's wish was
sincere and correct. But there is a vast dif-
ference between wishes and effective action.
it deep gulf between words and deeds. Each
time the President makes one of these anti-
Castro pep talks, his words demand the Im-
mediate response: "Fine, but how are we
going to do it?"
At the same time Mr. Kennedy gave lip-
rervice to the maintenance of freedom and
sovereignty in the hemisphere, he rejected
appeals from several of our Latin American
neighbors for specific hard-line measures
which might accomplish precisely what Mr.
Kennedy has set forth as our ultimate goal.
Too many people-perhaps the President
included--seem to share the naive notion
that we are able to deal with Communists
In the same way that we are able to deal
with civilized nations.
The fact is otherwise. Communists don't
play the game by our rules. They don't gain
power by a majority vote. They grab It by
subversion, sabotage, infiltration, dishonesty,
and Intrigue.
Only yesterday, syndicated Columnist Vic-
tor Riesel noted on the pages of this news-
paper how the Soviets have used at least
nine hot-, cold- and class warfare training
centers in Cuba to expand their Subversive
operations in this hemisphere. This sub-
version is not going to be combated by presi-
dential phrases uttered from the White
House. Miami, or San Jose, Costa Rica. It
must be met head on by concrete elements
of defense.
At the very least, those elements should
include stronger and more effective diplo-
matic and economic sanctions against Cuba
than we have instituted to date.
Ultimately, however, the threat of sub-
version can only be ended by eliminating Its
nerve center, the Cuban Communist regime.
Measures directed toward this end-includ-
Ing the recognition of a free and democratic
government In exile, the training and sup-
plying of an effective underground network
and the use of psychological warfare to build
a sturdy resistance to communism within
Cuba--must begin. And the sooner the
better.
The Trade Expansion Act of 1962:
Where We Stand Today
E :TENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. JOE L. EVINS
OF TENNESSEE
I:: T LE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Monday, April 1, 1963
Mr. EVINS. Mr. Speaker, Mr. Eugene
Bradernan, Director, Bureau of Interna-
tional Commerce, Department of Com-
inerce, recently appeared before the
House Small Business Committee and
presented testimony on how the Trade
Expansion Act is being implemented. He
also testified as to the opportunities of
small business in foreign trade.
As a supplement to his testimony, I am
pleased to have reprinted in the RECORD,
under unanimous consent, a recent
speech by Mr. Braderman on the present
status of the Trade Expanison Act.
The article follows:
THE 'TRADE EXPANSION ACT OF 1962: WHERE
WE STAND TODAY
(Address by Eugene M. Braderman. Director,
Bureau of International Commerce, U.S.
Department of Commerce. prepared forde-
livery at the business conference on ex-
panding California's share of world mar-
kets, presented by the Los Angeles Regional
Export Expansion Council, Town Hall, and
the University of Southern California at
the Biltinore Hotel, Los Angeles, Calif.,
March 15, 1903)
1 am very glad to be with you. It is a real
pleasure to meet with so many of the busi-
nessmen who make Los Angeles and the
State of California grow bigger and faster
from year to year.
As Secretary Hodges says, one of the great-
est challenges we In this country face today
is to make our economy move ahead faster.
We must expand business profits and em-
ployment opportunities more rapidly in order
to meet the needs of our expanding popula-
tion.
You are rising to the challenge. You are
making every kind of economic enterprise
flourish in California.
As the head of the Bureau of International
Commerce, where we work day In and day
out to expand the International trade of the
United States. I am sure you expect me to be
especially mindful of the benefits of a rising
tide of trade. I will not disappoint you.
I think you do not really need to be per-
suaded that export business is excellent bust-
ntas. This meeting is an impressive demon-
stration of your awareness of the importance
of export expansion.
California businessmen want to sell more
goods abroad. They want to earn more ex-
port profits.
Export expansion will advance both the
interests of business and the Interests of
the Nation. For business, exports mean
greater profits; for the Nation-increased
economic growth and a better balance-of-
payments position.
Last year we sold just under $21 billion
In U.S. goods in oversea markets. If we
could increase our exports by 10 percent-
by about $2 billion-we could just about
wipe out the deficit in our International bal-
ance of payments.
Can you think of a better. way to show
the world that the U.S. dollar Is worth a
dollar-and that our free-enterprise econ-
omy is as good as we say it is?
Business and Government share respon-
sibility for expanding U.S. exports.
Business has the job of selling. U.S. busi-
nessmen have shown outstanding ingenuity,
enterprise, and salesmanship In developing
markets here at home. The same kind of
drive will win the same kind of success
In makets abroad.
The Government has a twofold responsi-
bility: (1) To help businessmen sell more
overseas; and (2) to help remove unrea-
sonable tariff and other barriers so that
U.S. business can compete on a fair basis
for a larger share of world sales.
In the Commerce Department, it Is the
job of the Bureau of International Cpm-
merce to help you sell more of your prod-
_ucts abroad. In the development of trade
policy we present the views of industry in
the councils of government. In terms of
services, we offer you the possibilities of us-
Ing trade missions, trade centers, and trade
fair exhibitions to bring your products to
the attention of potential customers abroad.
With the advice of U.S. Industry, we have
developed a wide variety of specialized serv-
ices to help you make judgements respect-
ing the choice among export techniques, to
size up overseas markets, and to provide In-
formation on concrete business leads de-
veloped by our commercial officers in the
Foreign Service.
Over and above this, the Government must
do every reasonable thing within its pow-
er to make it easier for U.S. goods to en-
ter world markets. We must gain truly com-
petitive access to the European Common
Market. This Is our best regional market.
But we must also concentrate on fair con-
ditions of access to other world markets,
which now buy more than two-thirds of
what we sell outside the United States.
Tariffs impede our access to many over-
sea markets. But tariffs-as you well
know-are not the only barriers to trade.
Licensing controls, customs restrictions, and
other administrative and technical regula-
tions-and practices-often make it diffi-
cult for U.S. goods to enter markets abroad.
Both tariff and nontariff barriers to trade
must be reduced, if U.S. trade Is to be ex-
panded successfully. The Government Is
taking a close look at all barriers that keep
U.S. goods out of world markets or make it

State Department's policies consider one of
the best informed students of the Arab re-
fugee situation. His book "Israel and Pales-
tine Arabs" (Washington, D.C., 1958), pub-
lished under the auspices of the authorita-
tive Middle East Institute, has become a
highly regarded document in top-level gov-
ernmental circles. Dr. Peretz, as Roger
Baldwin described him in the foreword to
"Israel and Palestine Arabs," has been "one
of the few American Jews to move freely" be-
tween Israel and the Arab States. He is,
wrote Mr. Baldwin, possessed of "a single
bias, which is basic to his whole treatment:
it is that peace and the guarantee of its fu-
ture * * * can be achieved only by Jewish-
Arab cooperation, both within Israel and
outside. * * *" Mr. Baldwin summed up:
"Dr. Peretz is as balanced. and fair as any
man could be." It was this studiously cul-
tivated "bias" for being "balanced and fair"
to both sides in the Arab-Jewish dispute,
which largely accounted for Dr. Peretz's sta-
ture among U.S. Middle East policymakers.
Intent on cultivating the objectivity of his
1958 study, Dr. Peretz has, in the words of
the Middle East Institute, "refrained from
imposing his answers upon the reader." He
did, however, "make clear that it is his con-
viction that solution of the refugees' plight
is the central problem of the Middle East
peace." As Mr. Baldwin put it: "One gathers
from Dr. Peretz that * * * the refugee prob-
lem is central to all others and that progress
on it is progress toward peace."
It was with this basic notion that Dr. Pe-
rezt last year undertook, on a Rockefeller
Foundation grant, a trip to the Middle East
to study the latest conditions of the Arab
refugee situation. Shortly before his depar-
ture I took part in an hour-long discussion
with him over CBS radio, followed by an-
other hour or so of heart-to-heart talk in
a neighborhood cafeteria. It was a sharp yet
friendly confrontation of widely differing
approaches. A major point of difference be-
tween us was the place and role of the refu-
gee issue in the overall context of the Arab-
Israel conflict. Dr. Peretz opined that "first
things first," : that the settlement of the
refugee issue was the key to peace, and that
Israel-as the more "mature" (as he put it)
partner to the conflict-must make the first
constructive move, thus enabling the Arabs
to reciprocate in some way without losing
face.
We parted without having reconciled our
views. I expressed the vague hope that his
forthcoming study trip would lead to an at
least partial revision--of his approach. He
neither encouraged nor -eliminate.d such a
contingency, and merely promised to "keep
an open mind."
Now, after his return from the Middle East,
Dr. Peretz has submitted a 10-page "Arab
Refugee Report." It offers some significant
revisions of his former stand, of which the
most important is the revised approach to
the interdependence between the refugee
problem and the prospects for an Arab-Jew-
ish peace settlement. In sharp contrast to
his earlier view, Dr. Peretz firmly establishes
the thesis that-
Today the refugee problem is not a cause,
but a symptom of Arab hostility to Zionism.
To reduce or even to remove the symptom,
would not end the hostility. * * * The refu-
gees are the central issue in the Palestine
dilemma neither to extremist nor to mod-
erate Arab nationalists.
"Continued Identification of a refugee solu-
tion with a solution of the total Palestine
issue," the report describes as it%usory. How-
ever, in an obvious attempt to justify his
former stand, Dr. Peretz argues that "10 or
more years ago, before the new generation
of Arab political leaders and Palestinian
youth had come into Its own, a rapproach-
ment with Israel on the basis of a refugee
settlement might have been possible; Arab
unity was still quite a vague sentiment, and
the deep-seated antagonism to Israel was
because of refugee personal loss." But now,
no arrangement, however "worthy and justi-
fled," would "remove Arab political opposi-
tion to a Jewish state In the Arab homeland."
Coming as it does from a student of the
Arab refugee problem who for years was the
main protagonist of the illusion he is now
denouncing, this statement should be care-
fully weighed by thos8 American officials
who propose to focus on a solution of the
refugee issue as the key to a peace settle-
ment in the Middle East. They would then
realize the utter futility of trying to con-
centrate on the symptom while bypassing
the cause. A shortcut to peace via the iso-
lated treatment of the refugee issue per se
simply does not exist; there is no alternative
to direct peace negotiations.
Another notable innovation in Dr. Peretz's
report is his appraisal of the extent of the
refugees' integration in the Arab host coun-
tries. During our radio debate he had argued
that the backward economies of these coun-
tries offered scarce prospects for the over-
whelming mass of unskilled Palestinian
refugees to find gainful employment and to
become self-supporting. The picture Dr.
Peretz now paints is quite different. Though
his report fails to mention the fact that,
according to the? latest UNRWA figures, 61
percent of the refugees now live out of
camps, he stresses that for the minority still
remaining in the camps existence is far from
being dismal and hopeless:
Once the symbol of refugee degradation,
the camps, in many instances, have developed
into permanent quarters of the towns and
cities onto which they were grafted. There
are no longer tents in UNRWA camps.* * *
The schools, social welfare stations, clinics,
and feeding centers are often constructed
according to the latest architectural models.
Indeed, the Palestinians live far better than
refugees in India, Pakistan, and Hong Kong.
In Syria and Lebanon, development of
agriculture, industry and trade has facili-
tated the economic absorption of most em-
ployable refugees. * * * UNRWA relief re-
ceived in these two countries is a necessity
for only a few; for most it is a welcome sup-
plement to low wages.
Thus in Syria and Lebanon, which con-
tain some 250,000 former Palestinians, . the
refugees are no longer a problem, at least
economically. Of the 600,000 refugees in
Jordan, Dr. Peretz believes, "nearly half"
could not be integrated "in the foreseeable
future"-which means that the other half,
some 300,000, could be. Only for the 250,000
refugees in the Egyptian-controlled Gaza
strip are there no prospects of integration;
there must be relocated or continue to re-
ceive relief to survive. It would, therefore,
seem that the prospects of integration are
not at an discouraging for more than one-
half of the refugee mass.
Far-reaching changes have also occurred
in the refugees' attitude toward integration.
The older generation is still suffering from
the "trauma" of their flight, which engen-
tiered deep bitterness and found its expres-
sion in absolute refusal to cooperate in
transplanting their community to new soil
* * * rejecting permanent housing, employ-
ment and all other assistance which would
further its relocation. * * * Such negative
forms of opposition still continue among
many who fled 15 years ago. The younger
generation is, according to Dr. Peretz, "no
less bitter about its refugee status * * *
and no less determined to regain its home-
land, but its reactions are far less self-
destructive".
The youth realize that only through
strength can they attain their ultimate ob-
jective, and strength will be created through
self-improvement, not - self-destruction.
Consequently, they are not only willing to
April 1
accept, but eagerly search out opportunities
for education, vocational training, and em-
ployment. Refugee youths realistically ap-
praise the possibilities of an early return to
Palestine, and see that that objective may
take more than a lifetime. Thus, they seek
normal lives now. They want to marry, raise
children, and enter the mainstream of na-
tional life until the day of their, or their
children's or their children's children's re-
turn.
To this young generation, who relegate the
"day of return" to some indefinite future,
belong over 400,000 Palestinians born out-
side of Palestine. "Thus,", says Dr. Peretz,
"nearly 40 percent of those classified as refu-
gees have never been in their homeland;
they, and those who were infants with little
if any first recollection of Palestine, are more
than half the refugee population. * *
Soon a whole new generation of Palestinians
will have grown up in the Arab 'diaspora'
where they will have acquired only second-
hand knowledge of their homeland."
This being so, how is it that-again ac-
cording to Dr. Peretz-both the old and the
new generation, those who have become eco-
nomically absorbed and those still not re-.
settled, are equally "intense in their attach-
ment to Palestine" and continue to cling to
their refugee status? The explanation given
in the report is twofold: (1) "[The refugees]
are constantly reminded by their families,
their UNRWA-UNESCO schools and by the
most governments and populations that they
are Palestinians"; and (2) the relief ration
cards of UNRWA serve as "a token of con-
tinued identification as displaced Palestin-
ians * * * in effect, the UNRWA ration card
has become the identity card of the displaced
Palestine Arab."
UNRWA thus appears as something of an
overgrown umbilical cord, which is artifically
keeping alive the refugees' vanishing identifi-
cation with Palestine. It intensifies their
feeling of apartness from their Arab kin in
the host countries and impedes rather than
encourages their integration in these lands.
As things now stand, UNRWA, a United Na-
tions agency which has thus far spent well
over $300 million, is actually defeating the
purpose for which it had been established:
to extend temporary philanthropic assist-
ance to the displaced Palestinians with a
view to gradually putting an end to their
refugee existence. What the UNRWA lead-
ership Is now practicing and planning is just
the opposite of this assignment.
In his 1962 report to the U.N. General As-
sembly, Commissioner General Dr. John
Davis described relief as UNRWA's sole ac-
tivity. Dr. Peretz, who investigated the
situation at first hand, says bluntly that
while "assistance is still essential for the
majority of refugees in Gaza, for large num-
bers in Jordan, and for a few, mostly of the
older generation, in Syria and Lebanon * * *
to continue with primary emphasis on relief
encourages perpetration of a refugee mental-
ity and undermines the initiative of the
younger generation eager to end the refugee
status."
The principal cause of this paradoxical
state of affairs, his report avows, is again
twofold: (1) "the reluctance of the United
States and the United Nations to face chang-
ing realities"; and (2) vested interests of
the large UNRWA staff. As the report puts
it:
The Agency employs thousands of former

my colleagues a newspaper article in
the Detroit, Mich., Courier, of March 2,
1963.
This article sets forth the fact that a
south Dade County. Fla., community,
comprising nearly 7,000 persons of the
Negro race, has been singled out for a
special award by the public safety de-
partment for maintaining an outstand-
ingly low crime rate through the previous
year.
Tapped for the honor was Richmond
Heights, a quiet section of well-kept
homes that would do justice to any racial
group. There the per capita crime rate
was only one-sixth of the average for
other unincorporated areas of this
county.
While the average number of crimes
per 1,000 for the rest of Dade County's
unincorporated area was 36, the figure
for Richmond Heights was fewer than
6 per 1,000. During 1962 the community
recorded no homicides, no robberies, and
no rapes.
In presenting Richmond residents with
a plaque commending them for their
"outstanding accomplishments in mak-
ing the community a respectable place
to live," Metro Sheriff R. A. Buchanan
stated:
Richmond Heights' low crime incidence in-
dicates that a large number of Individuals
and organizations have devoted attention
to the problem of crime prevention and
community pride with a great degree of
success.
Mr. Speaker, it is with pride that I
wish to place the complete news story of
this inspiring Dade County record before
my colleagues for their information and
edification:
FLORIDA COMMUNITY CITED FOR IoW CRIME
RATE
MIAMI, FLA.-A south Dade County Negro
community of nearly 7,000 persons recently
was singled out for a special award by the
public safety department for maintaining
an outstanding low crime rate throughout
the previous year.
Tapped for the honor was Richmond
Heights, a quiet section of well-kept homes
that would do justice to any racial group.
There the per capita crime rate was only
one-sixth of the average for other unin-
corporated areas of this county which sur-
rounds the fabulous Miami Beach.
At a gathering of civic leaders. Metro
Sheriff T. A. Buchanan presented Richmond
residents with a plaque commending them
for their outstanding accomplishments In
making the community a respectable place
to live.
in a letter of commendation Buchanan
stated. "Richmond Heights low crime Inci-
dence indicates that a large number of indi-,
viduals and organizations have devoted at-
tention to the problem of crime prevention
and community pride with a great degree
success.
"We of the law enforcement profession
sincerely appreciate your excellent efforts
and commend you. You have set an example
for Dade County which warrants this recog-
nition."
This phenomenon did not occur sponta-
neously. It was the result of concerted action
growing out of a series of community meet-
ings, an instrunxsntal figure being newsman
Jim Ried, a Richmond resident.
As a result, during 1962 the community
recorded no homicides, no robberies, and no
rapes. There were only 2 auto thefts, 6
grand larcenies, 20 burglaries, and 11 assaults.
While the average number of crimes per
1,000 for the rest of Dade County's unincor-
porated area was 36, the figure for Richmond
Heights was fewer than 6 per 1,000.
EXTENS*QW'OF REMARKS
or
HON. GEORGE HUDDLESTON, JR.
OF ALABAMA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Monday, April 1, 1963
Mr. HUDDLESTON. Mr. Speaker, the
concern-indeed the alarm-of the
American people about the continuing
active Communist government in Cuba,
and the imminent danger of the spread
of the communistic plague in other parts
of the Western Hemisphere is well evi-
denced in a resolution just adopted by
the City Council of Trussville, Ala.
I want to call to the attention of my
colleagues and to all who read the REC-
oRD the sentiments which the Trussville
City Council has unanimously voiced
and. thus. I insert herewith in the REC-
ORD that resolution:
RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL
Or THE CITY OF TRUSSVILLE. MASeU 26.
1963
Whereas the citizens of the city of Truss-
ville. Ala., are gravely concerned about the
welfare of this great Nation composed of 50
united States, embracing and furnishing the
livelihood for 180 million people, we feel that
with the threatening menace of communism
supported actively, advocated and diligently
pursued by the Soviet Union In an attempt
to control and destroy utterly and completely
the Christian concepts of the rest of the
world, and feeling that the target is the soft,
underside of the continent of South America
and Its Latin speaking countries, and in this
endeavor, using every conceivable deceitful
and treacherous and malicious approach to
accomplish their goal of worldwide commu-
nism:
Therefore. We, the mayor and council,
unanimously supported by our citizens, re-
quest that action be taken by you, as the
final authority in the governmental processes
of the United States of America, as expedt-
entiy as possible to forestall any further
activity by this diabolical conspiracy, as
follows:
1. Enact any strong reliable law that will
prevent from this day forward the use by the
United Nations of any moneys that arc
furnished by the U.S. Government (that are
derived from a tax burdened people) for the
use of feeding, or supplying or nurturing any
group of people who have embraced the com-
munist philosophy. so that they may 1150
their good health and well-being to enslave
by their sinister methods the very people
who so willingly gave of their susbtanec as a
Christian act that they might live.
2. Use every means at your disposal to see
that the Monroe Doctrine is applied in every
instance pertaining to any moves or guise
put forth by the Soviet Union or any of its
satellite countries, Red China, or any politi-
cal doctrine that might attempt to violate
this act, as originally written and enforced
since the time of Its inception, and to guard
against any maneuver that might through
any act circumvent its Intent.
3. Realizing the widespread publicity given
to the activities of the Soviet agents and
their fellow conspirators in Brazil at a time
when this same government Is attempting to
hedge on previous debts to the United States
and attempting to borrow additional moneys
to boost their economy, while at the same
time holding or permitting to be held anti-
American meetings in their large cities, have
the United States, on behalf of the American
people, withdraw any economic support
from this nation or any other nation em-
bracing and continuing to promulgate the
Communist philosophy.
And whereas, it is understood by the gov-
ernmental departments-the executive, the
legislative, and the judicial-that we, the
citizens of Trussville. are not complaining of
the extra tax burden required by these ex-
penditures, nevertheless, we do feel that
these departments, being the custodians of
these moneys, should endeavor to see that
they are spent wisely in regard to any U.N.
action or loans or grants to any country,
either as a military, sanitary, health and wel-
fare or a capital Improvement, so as to bring
the best dollar return to the United States
and Its citizens in regard to their well-being
and their safety; If these conditions cannot
be met, and if these moneys are spent to
hasten the day in which this great country
might be enslaved by this unholy commu-
nistic conspiracy, then we feel that the citi-
zens-of the United-States should not be taxed
so as to bear the burden of their own down-
fall: and
Therefore, we urge that all partisan poli-
tics cease to be played and every effort made
to present a united effort by all elected and
appointed officials to eradicate from this
hemisphere the threats of the Soviet Union
and the Communist bloc nations.
Adopted this 26th day of March 1963.
JAMES W. BARR, bfayor.
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. ABRAHAM J. MULTER
OF NEW YORK
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, March 28, 1963
Mr. MULTER. Ml'. Speaker, I com-
mend to the attention of our colleagues
the following article by Joseph B.
Scheehtman as it appeared in the
March 18, 1963, issue of Congress Bi-
Weekly published by the American Jew-
ish Congress:
ARAB REFUGEE PROBLEM REASSESSED
(By Joseph B. Schechtman)
There is growing reason to believe that the
Kennedy administration, perhaps embold-
ened by the successful outcome of its diplo-
macy in the Cuban crisis, Intends also to
press for some form of Arab-Israel settle-
ment during the current year. High on the
agenda Is an effort to break through the
Palestine Arab refugee deadlock. For both
the State Department and the White House
seem to be convinced that the start toward
peace must be made with the question of the
refugees. The administration sees in the
refugee problem the major, if not the sole,
cause of the Implacable Arab hostility to
Israel and is confident that the road to peace
can only be cleared In the wake of Its re-
moval.
This approach, It appears, is to be made
the basis for the expected American Initia-
tive In the Middle East. A notable role in
the creation of the "rationale" for this con-
cept was undoubtedly played by Dr. Don
Peretz, whom influential molders of the
