Defending Againsttl5urprise Attack
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. GEORGE A. GOODLING
OF PENNSYLVANIA.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Tuesday, September i2, 1967
Mr. GOODLING. Mr. Speaker, the age
we live in is filled with many uncertain-
ties, and a major concern is whether or
not we have an adequate defense against
a surprise nuclear attack.
David Lawrence has written an inter-
esting article on this aspect for the Sep-
tember 11 issue of the Evening Star,
touching on some vital aspects of this
defense proposition. Because of its timely
nature, I 1nSert It lnt0 the CONGRESSIONAL
RECORD and recommend that my col-
leagues give it their attention.
The article follows:
DEFENDING AGAINST SURPRISE ATTACK
(By David Lawrence)
Most people do not understand the prob-
lems involved in trying to avert a nuclear
war. They have assumed that America is
strong enough to deter any country from
making such an attack.
But it is not so simple. There are develop-
ments which indicate that the United States
will have to do far more than has been
planned to protect the American people
against a "surprise attack."
Two speeches made over the weekend tell
a significant story, One was delivered in
London by Prof. William Polk, director of
the center for Middle East studies at the
University of Chicago. The other was given
by Sen. John O. Pastore, Democrat of Rhode
Island, who is chairman of the Joint Com-
mittee on Atomic Energy.
Their statements shed new light on the
risks and perils of nuclear War despite the
negotiations going on now for the signing of
a treaty to prevent more countries from
making weapons of the nuclear type.
Polk pinpoints a potentially dangerous
situation in the Middle East. He says that
either Russia or Red China may endeavor to
set up nuclear missile bases in Egypt. This
might, incidentally, explain why the Rus-
sians have been investing so many millions
of dollars in giving arms to Egypt. Most peo-
ple have been puzzled over Russia's continu-
ing interest in Egypt.
Polk declares that a Soviet medium-range-
missile base, established in Egypt, could be
used as a threat to force the U.S. 6th Fleet
and Polaris submarine units from the
Mediterranean. He says;
"This would be a rational Soviet oUjective,
particularly if it involved-as it probably
would-a substantial increase in the Com-
munist position in the Arab countries."
Polk, whose talk was presented by the
British government's broadcasting system,
suggested the net result might be an ap-
prehensive reaction by Israel to the setting
up of either a Russian or Red Chinese
nuclear base on its doorstep. He remarked
that Israel has "both the capacity to man-
ufacture and to deliver a nuclear weapon."
All this has a direct relationship to the
facts revealed in an address Saturday at
Groton, Cann., by Pastore at 'the ceremony
launching a new nuclear submarine. The
senator said a subcommittee of the joint
Committee on Atomic Energy soon will start
hearings to consider a program of expansion
of both PGlaris submarines and nuclear-
attack submarines. He stressed that another,
Senate committee soon would take up the
question of an anti-ballistic-missile system.
He added:
"There is little doubt that the Polaris
submarine represents our most formidable
deterrent to an all-out war .
"The Soviet Union's offensive nuclear
striking power is increasing in comparison
to our own-while at the same time they are
deploying one and probably two antiballis-
tic-missile systems to defend their country-
which we are not doing-I repeat-which we
-are not doing .. .
"We cannot live in a world of atomic energy
and discount completely the possibility of
`surprise attack' on our nation... .
"Our offensive weapons are second to
none-but. it has been our announced and
continuing policy for generations never to
strike first. Today-in effect-we are asking
the American people to be prepared to ac-
cept near nuclear annihilation because our
strategy calls for absorbing the first nuclear
strike .. .
"With all our offensive power, our defense
posture could be our Achilles' heel. We can-
not sit back and let ourselves be lulled into
a sense of false security, relying only on the
hope that fear of retaliation will deter poten-
tial aggressors.
"Development of an ABM system is, I
repeat, extremely expensive but, incleed,-
necessary. In this kind of a world, the alter-
natives are few. The security of our coun-
try-the ultimate in its defense-deserves
the highest national priority. An affluent
America-with so much to lose-must not
face this mortal challenge cheaply."
For several months now, there have been
reports that American naval experts are
urging a plan to help defend India and other
friendly countries on the Indian Ocean from
coming under Communist control through
nuclear blackmail.
The idea is for the U.S. Navy to station
Polaris submarines permanently in the
waters bordering Asia. It is argued that this
would furnish a way to reach a new set of
targets in Russia and Red China as a part
of the American plan of defense. The program
of "deterrence" of a nuclear war has by no
means been completed.
Resolution in Support of 3~-Day Holiday
Weekends
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. THADDEUS J. DULSKI
OF NEW YORK
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Tuesday, September 12, 1967
Mr. DULSKI. Mr. Speaker, I favor leg-
islation which would change the dates
of five Federal holidays so that they can
be observed on a Monday and thus pro-
vide a 3-day weekend.
Under leave to extend my remarks, I
include below a resolution adopted by
the board of supervisors of Erie County,
Buffalo, N.Y., on September 8, 1967, ex-
pressing support for such a proposal:
Whereas, there is presently before the Con-
gress of the United States, a bill introduced
by Senator George Smothers, in which it is
proposed that flue Federal Holidays be
changed to fall on a Monday, and
Whereas, said bill would change the cele-
bration of Memorial Day from May 30 to the
last Monday in May; Independence Day from
July 4 to the first Monday in July; Veterans
Day from November 11 to the last Monday
in October, and Thanksgiving Dap from the
fourth Thursday in November to the fourth
Monday in November; and Washington's
birthday would be changed to President's
Day, to honor all U.S. Presidents, and would
be observed on the third Monday in February
rather than February 22, and
Whereas, the enactment of said bill would
increase the number of three-day weekends
and thereby reduce absenteeism which occurs
when employees arbitrarily extend their
holidays, and
Now, therefore, be it resolved, that the
Honorable Body memorialize the Congress of
the United Sttaes to enact the Smothers Bill,
and be it further
Resolved, That certified copies of this res-
olution be sent to Congressmen McCarthy,
Smith and Dulski.

Boxer KO's Hatemonger's Rabid Pleas
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. CHARLES C. DIGGS, JR.
OF MICHIGAN
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Tuesday, September 12, 1967
Mr. DIGGS. Mr. Speaker, under leave
to extend my remarks in the RECORD, I
include the following article by Archie
Moore:
THE 1930'S WERE TOUGHER; BOXER KO'S
HATEMONGER'S RABID PLEAS
(By Archie Moore)
The devil is at work in America, and it is up
to us to drive him out. Snipers and looters,
white or black, deserve no mercy, Those who
would profit from their brother's misfortunes
deserve no mercy, and those who would set
fellow Americans upon each other deserve no
mercy.
I'll fight the man who calls me an "Uncle
Tom." I have broken" bread with heads of
state, chatted with presidents and traveled
all over the world. I was born in a ghetto, but
I refused to stay there. I am a Negro, and
proud to bc~one. I am also an American, and
I'm proud of that.
The young people of today think they have
a hard lot. They should have been around in
the '30s when I was coming up in St. Louis.
We had no way to go, but a lot of us made it.
I became light heavyweight champion of the
world. A neighbor kid down the block, Clark
Terry, became one of the most famous jazz
musicians in the world. There were doctors,
lawyers and chiefs who came out of that
ghetto. One of the top policemen in St. Louis
came from our neighborhood.
We made it because we had a goal, and we
were willing to work for it.
Now then, don't get the idea that I didn't
grow up hating the injustices of tllis world. I
am a staunch advocate of the Negro revolu-
tion for the good of mankind. I've seen al-
most unbelievable progress made in the last
halldful of years. Do we want to become wild
beasts bent only on revenge, looting and kill-
ing and laying America bare? Hate is bait,
bait for the simple-minded.
Sure, I despised the whites who cheated me,
but I used that feeling to make me push on.
If you listen to the professional rabble-rous-
ers, adhere to his idea of giving up everything
you've gained in order to revenge yourself for
the wrongs that were done to you in the
past-then you'd better watch your neighbor,
because he'll be looting your house next. Law
and order is the only edge we have. No man is
an island.
Granted, the Negro still has along way
to go to gain a fair shake with the white
man in this country. But believe this: If

we resort to lawlessness, the only thing we
can hope for is civil wax', untold bloodshed,
and the end of our dreams.
Wo have to have a meeting of qualified
men of both races. Mind you, I said quali-
fied men, mot some punk kid, ranting the
catch phrases put in his mouth by some paid
hate-monger.
There are members of the black commu-
nity who call for a seps~rate nation within
America. Well, 7: do not intend to give up
oxxe square inch of America. I'm not going to
be told I xriust Live in a restricted area. Isn't
tl:,at what we've all been fighting to over-
come'.+ And then there is the element that
calls for a return to Africa.
For my part, Africa is a, great place to visit,
but I wouldn't want to live there. It' the
Lrishmen want to gc back to the Emerald
Isle, let them. If' the Slaws want to return to
the Iron Curtain area, okay by me. But I'm
not going to go to any part of Africa to live.
I'm proud of ancestry, :and of the country
that spawned my forefathers, but I'm not
giving up my country. I i'ought all my life to
give my children what I'm able to give them
today: A chance for development as citizens
in the greatest country i.n the world.
L do not; far a moment think that any
truly responsible Negro wants anarchy. I
don't think you'll find intelligent-no, let's
rephrase treat-mature Negroes running wild
in the streets or sniping at total strangers.
A.NY DOY CAN
Something must be done to reach the
Negroes and the whites in the ghettos of
this country, and I propose to do something.
As a matter of plain fact, I have been doing
something for t:he past :several years. I have
been running a, program which I call the
A8C-Any Boy Can. By teaching our youth,
black. white, yellow and red, what dignity is,
what self-respect is, what honor is, I have
been able to ob iterate juvenile delinquency
in several areas.
I would now expand my program, change
scope. Lf any bay can, surely any man can.
I want to take teams of qualified people, top
men in their fields, to t:he troubled areas of
our cities. I know that the people who par-
ticipated in the recent riots, wtxo are par-
ticipating :and vrho will participate, are mis-
guided rather than mad.
Lf some bigot can misguide, then I can
guide. I've spent too much of mq life build-
ing what I've got to put it to torch just to
satisfy some ancient hatred of a man who
beat my grand.-father. Those men are long
dead. Do we have to choice what could be a
beautiful garden with weeds of hate? I say
NO! And I stand ready to-start "Operation
Gardener." I invite the respected Negro lead-
ers of our country to join me.
Percy's Home :Plan Can Help Low Income
Familiies
EXTENSION Ola REMARKS
NON. ;EDWARD Jf. DERWINSK[
OF ZLLnvOIS
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Tuesday? September 12, 1987
Mr. DERWINSKI. Mr. Speaker, as a
Ilouse cosponsor of t:he homeownership
legislation introduced by Senator
CHARLES PERC'Y, of Illinois, I am pleased
to note ghat the Ho~newaod-Flossmoor
Star saw fit to commend him in an edi-
torial which appeared in their August 27
edition. The e,3itorial follows:
PERCY'S HOME 1PLAN CAN HELP LOW INCOME
FAMIL:LES
Home ownership for low income families,
as proposed by United States Sen. Charles
H. Percy, impresses us as being :=, source of
real hope i.n the essential effort ;o ixpgrade
a large se?>ment of our citizens and con-
tribute significaxxtly to the well-b=xiny of tl"ie
nation as a whole.
Sen. Percy, the Republican freshman from
Illinois, outlined his imaginative proposal in
a 1968 speech before the Chical;o Kiwanis
club and later presented it to the Senate
after being elected to that body. And if imita-
tion is indeed the sincerest form of flattery,
he should be pleased by reports from Wash-
ington that Senate Democrats are incorpo-
rating large slices of his housing program
into one of their own.
No matter who might eventu~.lly receive
the credit, the plan to make available the
pride of home ownership to a gre:~t r~ew seg-
ment of otlr population has mucL, to recom-
mend it. At the very outset, it is superior to
public housing-20-story concrete cages, :xs
Percy described units in the large cities-ern
one most important score. It would provide
the homeowners an incentive to improve not
only their property but their personal finan-
cial status, perhaps leading to the acquisi-
tion oP better homes. Public housing neces-
sarily clamps a lid on initiative; if the
tenant's income passes a set figcxre, out he
goes, and not to better accommodations by a
long shot.
Briefly, the Percy plan calls for non-profit
associations which would buy up housing
sheLs and other structurally sound but rwx-
down buildings from private o?,xners. The
structures would be rehabilitated by local
contractors with the help of unskilled and
unemployed men wishing to be trained as
rehabilitation craftsmen. The rehabilitated
homes and. condominium apartments would
be sold to families taking part in t;he pro-
gram, which would include the opportunity
to build up "sweet equity" tow:rd a dovm
payment by contributing their own h.bor.
As envisioned by Sen. Percy, tie plan
would not only provide home ov/nership to
low income families; it would offer basic
education, job training, coun^,e:ling and
other services designed to give them serif
respect and a deserved feeling of dignity and
independence. And it would eliminate
blighted areas which we can no Langer
endure.
Surely, ,here is much to be none ir_ tlxe
aver-all task of assisting the underprivileged
and making life meaningful to them. The
Percy plan-one which, as he says, has
proved successful on a small scale in several
cities-car.; be a step toward meeting the
obligation-
Free finterprise Success: J?bs For

EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HO:N. JOHN W. WYDLER
OF NEW YORK
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTA'CLVES
Tuesday, September 12, 1987
Mr. W"x~DLE~t. Mr. Speaker, a recent
article in the Long Island Daily Review,
one of our Nation's outstanding business
daily newspapers, told the exlcouragixlg
and intex?esting story of 'the success of
free enterprise in finding jo+~s for the
poor. This particular undertaking is hap-
pening in the Fourth Congressional Dis-
trict of New York, which I represent. In
my opini.an, it could well serve as a
model in pointing the way to a break-
through in our efforts to find good jobs
for our neediest people. I am sure my
colleagues will find it of interest:
FREE E:;7TERPR ISE SUCCESS: JOBS FOR HEMP-
:iTEAD POOR
The new :Hempstead Job Development
Corp., less than a, month old, is already at-
tracting; serious attention from persons who
would like to emulate it elsewhere. The or-
ganization, entiroly backed by private en-
terprise, apparently is the first of its kind to
operate in Nassau-Suffolk without govt dol-
lars.
Director James Rudd says several queries
have come from other L.I, communities for
organizr;tional. information. Rudd has even
been asked to speak before other groups, but
has bee:a too busy.
In ite first 2 weeks, beginning Aug. 14, the
corporation placed at least 170 Negroes in
jobs in Hempstead Village.
Rudd said he was "overwhelmed" at the
program's initial success.
\lollage businessmen, partly motivated by
a desire to dampen any potential riot sparks
in :Hempstea.d, have pledged more than $36,-
00(1 to operate i;he corporation for a year.
"L'm enthused," Rudd, a Negro? said of
inii;ial results. He said good jobs were being
offered, with good salaries.
"We placed a salesman trainee with a bis-
cuit company at $100 a week," he noted.
"We started a trainee with a paper company
at $80. An oil company took on a truck
driver at $3.54 an hour. A donut company
hired a baker-helper trainee at $95 a week."
,1 college hired a custodian for $83, a hy-
draulic concern. soak on a trainee at $2 an
hour a:nd an experienced machine operator
at $3.5(1, he said. A chemical concern took a
trainee at $2, soul Nassau County offered
$80 a week and ap to porters.
Itudc., 32, said the corporation--with an
office at 8 W. Co.urnbia St., staffed by him-
self and 2 other paid employees, Dan Hester,
25, and bfary Scut as sect'-is also moving
into training. Would-be truck drovers, for
ixxstance, are being bought to drive by truck
owners who aenc', themselves and their ve-
hi~?les at no charge to the grogram after
hours, Rudd sa.id.:Drivers are in demand at
$100 a week and bettor, he said.
The Hempstead Job Develaprn~ent Corp. is
run by a 20-man board, half Negroes. Chair-
man iii Glarcmce Newall, president of the
local NAACP cYxapter.
Herxrean Schwartz, owner of the Hemp-
stead F'urnfttu?e Co, and a prime mower be-
hind the corpar~aton's formation, says it
came to life on a private basis to bypass red
tape.
?If vice had gave to the govt. for lxelp, we
probably wouldn't have gotten started until
next yi*ar," said Schwartz, also treasurer of
the He?mpst;e:ad. Village Office of .Economic
Opportunity Counrdl which, he noted, took
a year .and a half to get off the ground.
'Cho new jab development corporation is
not alone, of course, in seeking jobs for poor
m:inori`~ies. A has; of other L. I. organizations
and municipal &gencies are doting likewise
with f~:deral and state help-organizations
such as the Nassau and Suffolk Human
Rights Camnxivsi.ons, several local Office of
Eaononxic Opportunity Councils, and a num-
ber of jab ta?aining programs (mainly U.S.
Manpower I?eveLalrment and Training Act-
funded).
