PROCEEDINGS AND DEBATES OF THE 88th CONGRESS, SECOND SESSION
WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 6,,-1964
House of Representatives
The House met at 12 o'clock noon.
Rabbi Joseph S. Safsel, Congregation
Shomrei Habrith, Reading, Pa., offered
the following prayer:
Almighty G-d, who has been our source
of comfort and spirit throughout all
generations-and to whom Thy children
turn in their moments of despair-we
beseech Thy blessings upon this day,
to instill within our hearts Thy divine
wisdom and understanding to guide us
through our deliberations in planning
the laws of our beloved Nation.
Instill a love of mankind and under-
standing among Thy children wherever
they may be, so that neighbor will live
in peace with neighbor, and the seeds
of hatred and unrest shall be turned
into peace and tranquillity.
Guide us through these trying days of
uncertainty with Thy light of truth; give
us the moral courage to inspire mankind
that the plow is mightier than the
sword.
We pray that the words of Thy prophet
be fulfilled: "And the L-rd shall be
King over all the earth-in that day
shall the L-rd be one, and His name
One." Amen.

STEVENSON SPEAKS FOR AMERICA
(Mr. O'HARA of Illinois asked and was
given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his
remarks.)
Mr. O'HARA of Illinois. Mr. Speaker,
the Chicago Tribune, which is a Repub-
lican newspaper and is supporting Sen-
ator GOLDWATER for the Presidency, de-
votes its lead editorial in this morning's
edition to what it terms "Ambassador
Adlai E. Stevenson's calm and lucid dis-
cussion before the United Nations yes-
terday of Communist torpedo attacks
upon American warships off the coast of
North Vietnam." The editorial is
headed "Mr. Stevenson Speaks for
America."

 17670 Approved For ~C,R S NA~:a &866 POO0200160050-6 August 6
I quote from the final paragraph of
this editorial:
Mr. Stevenson has put Communist pirati-
cal acts and the systematic campaign to con-
quer South Vietnam and Laos In clear per-
spective. His unadorned recital of what has
happened and is happening in southeast Asia
will go a long way toward persuading the
people that they now are informed about
Communist objectives and the purpose of
American counteraction.
Mr. Speaker, in times of national crises
Americans close ranks and unity Is the
shield of patriotism. The Chicago Trib-
une is abiding by the finest traditions of
our country in approving and praising
the performance in this suspense-
frightened occasion of a distinguished
son of Illinois with whom cn political oc-
casions the Tribune usually is in dis-
agreement. Truly, Mr. Stevenson spoke
for America, and a united American peo-
ple stand behind his words.
CORRECTION OF THE RECORD
Mr. RHODES of Pennsylvania. Mr.
Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that
the RECORD of July 29 may be corrected
on page 16696, since certain words are
incorrect. The word "fixing" in my re-
marks, column 1, should be "having",
and the word "proposed", in column 3,
should be "prospered".
I ask unanimous consent that the per-
manent RECORD be corrected accordingly.
The SPEAKER. Without objection, It
is so ordered.
There was no objection.
U.S. MARSHALS SHOULD ARREST
AMERICANS RETURNING FROM
CUBA
(Mr. ROGERS of Florida asked and
was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute and to revise and ex-
tend his remarks.)
Mr. ROGERS of Florida. Mr.
Speaker, there are currently some 84
American students touring Communist
Cuba as guests of Fidel Castro. They
are destined to return to the United
States sometime Saturday, or shortly
thereafter, according to reliable reports.
Just as was done last year when a similar
group defied the ban on such travel, this
group will probably land at one of the
airports in the New York area.
U.S. marshals should be on the spot to
arrest these U.S. citizens who have vio-
lated U.S. law in the most flagrant man-
ner. These same Americans should be
prosecuted to the fullest extent under the
law.
And adequate legal sanctions exist
under 8 United States Code 1185, which
prescribes penalty of 5 years in prison
and $5,000 fine, as well as 18 United
States Code 371, carrying 5 years' im-
prisonment and $10,000 fine. The first
provision spells out the law dealing with
violating the travel ban on Cuban visits.
The second citation covers conspiracy,
which it clearly appears to be in this case.
These American citizens went to Cuba
completely aware of their violations.
Each passport issued them bore the
words "This passport not valid for travel
to or in Communist-controlled portions
of Cuba." They had every intention of
defying the United States by going on a
Communist "Havana holiday."
I have contacted the Internal Security
Division of the Department of Justice to
urge that these arrests be made imme-
diately, and these particular sections of
the law be applied with full weight.
REAPPORTIONMENT
(Mr. VANIK asked and was given per-
mission to extend his remarks at this
point in the RECORD.)
Mr. VANIK. Mr. Speaker, if the ef-
forts to attach a rider to the foreign aid
authorization bill to suspend the recent
reapportionment decision of the U S.
Supreme Court is successful, it will be
my intention to vote against the bill.
The reapportionment decision of the
Supreme Court was long overdue. The
growth of the State of Ohio has been
thwarted by the "cornstalk brigade" in
the Ohio Assembly under the Hanna
amendment which provided one legisla-
tor toevery county, regardless of popula-
tion. These rural legislators have con-
sistently represented real estate instead
of people in cruel disregard of growing
urban needs.
The legislative rider would perpetuate
the injustice of the present rural domi-
nation of State affairs. The tactic is
designed to push constitutional amend-
ments to nullify Supreme Court rulings
through the several State legislatures
while they are still illegally controlled by
the "cornstalk brigade." The proposal
is an act of legislative mischief which
could permanently impair the equality of
citizenship.
CORRECTION OF VOTE
Mr. ABBITT. Mr. Speaker, on roll-
call No. 197 I am recorded as not voting.
I was present and voted "yea." I ask
unanimous consent that the permanent
RECORD and Journal be Corrected accord-
ingly.
The SPEAKER. Is there objection
to the request of the gentleman from
Virginia?
There was no objection.
