one-not even one older person in that com-

unteered to put in so much as a single hour.
It seemed incredible considering all we hear
about old folks wanting some way to pass
the time in useful occupations.

they had put on several parties for senior

buses to take them on short trips.

would seem they'd welcome a chance to per-
form auseful service. for an institute as well
known as ours which is dedicated to child
health, It also seemed they'd welcome the
chance to meet new people and pass some
pleasant hours in a different atmosphere."
Let's hope that was just an isolated case
where the message somehow did not get
across to older people in the community.
Let's also hope that older people every-
where will make a special effort to keep their
ears and hearts open to opportunities for
useful and humanitarian service.

The Great Debate
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
HON. ABRAHAM J. MULTER
OF NEW YORK
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, June 22, 1967
Mr. MULTER. Mr. Speaker, the United
Nations debating society is in full swing
again. _
An article appearing in the Washing-
ton Evening Star and an editorial written
for the Christian Science Monitor, indi-
cate what we are to expect from these
talks, and specifically from Soviet Pre-
mier Kosygin.
.I commend to the attention of our
colleagues the following article written
by Richard Wilson for the June 21, 1967,
edition of the Washington Evening Star
and the editorial which appeared in the
June 21, 1967, edition of the Christian
Science Monitor,
The articles follow:
lated that will require answers, ~ ~~~
For instance, have we explored how real-
istic the expectation of performance require-
ments might be; have we considered the
expenses of being a volunteer; have we won-
dered about the attitudes of younger staff
and volunteers toward older people-and how
this affects the desire to serve; have we
recognized that far too many years the
younger community has implied that older
people should find a comfortable corner and
stay out of the way? Surely, the answers to
these questions present a better indication of
why older citizens haven't been as responsive
to requests to serve.
It is important to remember, also, the
many older people who have so genereously-
and quietly-given of themselves to the com-
munity, and who continue to do so.
I feel there is a vast reservoir of skill, time
and wisdom that our older citizens can give.
Perhaps it Ss up to the community to work
toward making volunteer service more attrac-
tive and desirable.

KOSYGIN, FAILING AT U.N., NEEDS JOHNSON
TALKS
(By Richard Wilson).
UNFrED NATIONS, N.Y. AIexei N. Kosygin
didn't defiantly walk out of the United Na-
tions; he sort of ambled out absentmindedly
in protest against the scathing attack of
Abba Eban, the foreign minister of Israel.
Eban had by far the better of the argu-
ment and it was no wonder Kosygin didn't
care to sit tluough to the end. This kind of
Instant histrionics sets the tone of the Rus-
sian-sponsored emergency meeting aE the
U.N. General Assembly, a kind of diffident
and desultory attempt to condemn Israel and
push her back to her old borders.
Kosygin knows his effort will fail and so
does everyone else. What he needs now is a
meeting with the President of the United
States and a start of talks with about the
whole range of problems that divide the
super powers, from the Sinai Desert to the
DMZ in Vietnam.
Once Moscow's Arab clients have been pia-
. toted by a repetition of the tired old cliches
of Soviet diplomacy, and now that they have
witnessed a poor imitation of Khrushchev-
type behavior, it will be possible for Kosygin
to get down to the real business at hand.
This business, President Johnson has made
crystal clear, cannot.-be conducted in the
haphazard forum of the United Nations. It is
too serious for that.
Everything taken into consideration,
Kosygin was quite reasonable, cram his point
of view, in his attacks on the United States.
Johnson, by the same token has adopted his
blandest come-let-us-reason-together tone,
not insisting on anything in the Middle East
except the exercise of a little reasonableness.
Sa there is as yet no barrier to their having
a nice long talk, which everyone, except pos-
sibly the Arabs, would welcome.
Kosygin put everything in one package
in his address to the United Nations-Ger-
many, the Middle East, Vietnam. The fact
that Ambassador Arthur Goldberg does not
want to talk about anything in the United
Nations except the Middle East does not
change the fact that Johnson would' be glad
to talk about other subjects outside the
United Nations.
As every day of the emergency session
passes, it becomes clear that Kosygin, who
really is not a politician but a technologist,
feels compelled to establish himself as a
world leader in the tradition of Stalin and
Khrushchev, and he is not well equipped for
it. This is all to the good. It will make it
easier for Johnson to tralk with him when the
time comes.
Faced by a prospective defeat in the Vnited
Nations, Kosygin cannot wisely go back to
the council ai ministers 1n Moscow with
nothing but press clippings of his early
morning tours around Manhattan. He needs
to see Johnson as much, if not more, than
Johnson needs to see him. The odds are
aabout X60-40 against the United Nations
adapting any kind oP a resolution condemn-
ing Israel, much less the censure, repara_
tions and withdrawal demanded by Kosygin
on behalf of his confused and frantic Arab
clients.
Watching once again the charade on the
floor of the General Assembly, one wanders
ii it is good for anything except the enter-
tainment of the world's TV watchers. The
United Nations could not prevent the war
from starting; it could not stop it before
Israel had reached its objectives; and now it
hoe no effective way to find a consensus on
what to do about Israel and the Arabs, or
enforce a consensus solution ii it could be
devised.
Then what good is the United Nations? it
is good for just what is happening now, the

uninhibited and bitter expression of national
animosities in words rather than gunfire.
IrI spite oP all Kosygin's stylized invective,
he recognizes the use of the United Nations in
a nuclear age when war between the super
powers is impractical.
Maybe now he has said something else of
great importance. Local wars; he says, can-
not be permitted because they may enflame
the world in a general war. That sounds

of national liberation are OK, and will glue

THE GREAT DEBATE OPENS
It will be a sad day for the United Na-
tions, the Middle East and for world peace 1Y
Soviet policy rather than American policy
prevails in the General Assembly,
The speech of Soviet Premier Alexei Kosy-
gln was hard, unyielding and clearly de-
signed to restore the tension, animosity, and
uncertainty which has so long prevailed at
the troubled eastern end of the Mediterran-
ean. Its aim was patently to harden Arab
intransigeance, however much. this might in-
crease Arab suffering.
In demanding that Israel be condemned
by the United Nations, .immediately with-
draw from its present positions and make
financial and physical restitution for all Arab
losses, Moscow was-and knew it was-ask-
ing for what it is extremely unlikely to get.
Note must, however, be taken of Premier
Kosygin's reference to Israel's right to exist
and to the need to avoid nuclear war and
to find a common language for peace. These
are interesting and hopeful hints.
Although President Johnson's own state-
ment on the Middle East can be criticized
far generality and impreciseness at some
points, it laid the basis for constructive cri-
ticism and action by the General Assembly
and the Security Council. The- assertions
that each nation in the Middle East has the
right to exist free from threats, and that the
political and territorial integrity of each
must be inviolate are policies upon which
anq peace-seeking nation can agree. We
equally applaud his demand that something
constructive be done about the vast tragedy
of the Arab refugees, about ending the fruit-
less and impoverishing arms race, and about
guaranteeing free waterway passage for. all
"innocent" cargoes.
Whether or not the American policies are
adopted as guidelines far a Middle Eastern
solution, they have the great merit of moving
in the right direction.
But perhaps the greatest -merit of the
Johnson proposal, and the one which dis-
tinguishes it most sharply from Premier
Kosygin's, is Washington's realistic realiza-
tion that there can be no partial or piecemeal
moves towards peace. Israel, as Foreign
Minister Abba Eban made clear, will not
agree to a proposal such ~ Russia's which
asks Israel to surrender all with no com-
pensating guarantees. The Arabs on the
other hand, and if they can be brought to
any sort of an agreement, will certainly give
none until Israel has surrendered the terri-
torial fruits o`i its military victory and some-
thing major and constructive is done for the
refugees. Washington recognizes these con-
flicting viewpoints and, we believe, seeks to
harmonize them.
There would be no greater tragedy for the
Middle East, and first and foremost for the
Arabs, then if the Soviet Union were again
given free rein to play any deliberately and
self-seekingiy disruptive role in the area. It
has now became clear that such a role can
only be a harmful and hurtful one. Now is
a moment for a constructive and pacifying
step forward. We deeply hope that the world
will not let this opportunity slip,
National Arts Endowment Grants to States
Are an Example of High Statesmanship
by the Congress
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. WILLIAM 3. MOORHEAD
OF PENNSYLVANIA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, June 22, 1967
Mr. MOORHEAD. Mr. Speaker, my
distinguished colleagues in the House
and the Senate should have been very
pleased 'this past week by some obsrva-
tions printed in the New York Times re-
lated to the great success of the National
Endowment for the Arts and 'its program
of assistance to~the States.
The calumli, written by an honored
critic-a"t-large, Howard Taubman, con-
tains an excellent review of the progress
most of our States have been able to
make in the field of the arts.
When we remember that less than half
a dozen States h"ad full-scale councils or
commissions for the. encouragement of
the arts when the Congress approved the
National Foundation for the Arts and
Humanities in 1965, it becomes clear that
the seed money provided through the
Arts Endowment has produced a re-
markable harvest.
Mr. Taubman's article presents the
case far better than could hope to do and
I hope that all ~ my colleagues will read
it. Under leave to extend my remarks,
I ask that it be inserted in the RECORD at
this point.
[From the New York Times, June 12, 1967]
ARTS ENDOWMENT GAINS-MATCHING GRANTS
PROVIDED 2 YEARS AGO HAVE SEEDED PRO-
GRAMS IN MANY STATES
(By Howard Taubman)
When Congress acts out of political mo-
tives, it is not necessarily narrow in its vision,
Note the manner in which its imprint on
the National Arts Endowment legislation has
worked out. In 1965, when the endowment
was enacted into law, Congress added a sec-
tion authorizing matching grants of $50,000
each year to each state and to the District
of Columbia and Puerto Rico. If the inten-
tion was the prudent one to take care of
the home folks, the outcome nevertheless
has been beneficial. An examination of the
states' applications for matching funds for
the fiscal year beginning July 1 reveals that
many are moving forward, that they are tak-
ing careful stock of their resources and
needs, and that they are devising programs
that not only answer urgent requirements
but also have imagination and validity.
A summary of 'applications, prepared by
the Arts Endowment staff, has been circu-
lated among state arts councils and commis-
sions. It was not meant for publication, be-
cause revisions and modiflcations are still
being made. But the changes are not likely
to be great, and the quality of many of the
projects are so impressive that they deserve
analysis and comment.
FORTY-TWO STATES SEEKS GRANTS
Forty-two states have put in for the en-
tire $50,000, or nearly all of it. Only Alaska,
Delaware, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota,
South Carolina and South Dakota have asked
for substantially less, and Idaho's applica-
tion had not arrived when the summary was
sent out.
Alaska's situation is instructive. The state
formed its arts council last March, and there
.A 3217
was hardly time to forge a full program.
Other difficulties were the state's limited arts
resources and problems of transportation.
But the council was undaunted. Although it
submitted a series of modest projects, re-
quiring matching funds of $25,683, it in-
tended to file a supplemental request. For
the present its plans include tours of per-
forming and visual arts, help for. several
festivals, technical assistance and some work
in arts education.
The most sophisticated proposals, not
surprisingly, come from the states that have
had the most experience in the arts and
their public support. New York expects to
use its entire Federal grant to assist in the
establishment of aboard program of resi-
dencies at various campuses of the State
University for Sndfviduals and arts organi-
zations like A. P. A.-Phoenix, the Merce Cun-
ningham Dance Company, the Dorian
Quintet and Danny Nagrin, the choreog-
rapher. The Federal contribution will cover
only about 20 per cent of the program's total
cost, but then New York has been notably
forward looking in its allocation of funds
to its arts council.
Illinois, Misscurl and North Carolina have
drawn up ambitious programs. The total
cost ai the Illinois projects, which have been
planned for a period of two years, fs $847,-
000. What is especially striking about the
plan is its emphasis on technical assistance
and artists in residence.
The state has budgeted $110,000 to pay
experts stipends plus travel costs, to provide
local arts organizations, at their request,
with guidance, evaluation and instruction
in such areas as administration, commu-
nity relations, organizational techniques and
artistic and technical problems of produc-
tion. Atotal of $187,000 will be used to send
professionals in the various arts on stays of
a year in a community, to live and work.
Among the proposals that catch the eye
are a plan in Georgia to establish slow-in-
terest emergency loan fund for writers,
composers and artists; a project for envi-
ronmental design in Hawaii; the continua-
tion of Missouri's program of bringing
students from rural -areas into metropolitan
centers for a wekend of exposure to the
arts; North Carolina's seminars for art teach-
ers, the Texas plan to conduct an intensive
training program for string players and the
blueprint to expand the availability of Vir-
ginia's four artmobiles.
TECHNICAL HELP POPIILAR
Technical assistance recurs frequently in
the state planning. Another commendable
development is the readiness oY neighboring
states to turn to one another for art and
artiste. Thus Delaware counts partly on
Pennsylvania, Vermont on New York, Kan-
sas on Missouri, Montana on Utah. Maryland
declares that it will cooperate with neigh-
boring states, and the Virgin,Sslands is in-
viting New York's Theater-in the Street to
play in Spanish and English.
It would be too much to expect all the
states to be equally balanced and adven-
turous in their planning. Some, indeed, have
so few cultural resources that they must
almost begin at the beginning. For them the
stress on state initiative may be a handicap.
For the temptation is always there to use
matching funds for local projects, no matter
how uninspired they may be.
One assumes that the National Arts En-
dowment's staff will insist on minimum cri-
teria. The objective must be to raise stand-
ards where they most need raising, not
merely to give the appearance ai abundant
activity. If the Federal matching funds con_
tinue to be applied with increasing creativ-
ity, the Arts Endowment and the state's arts
councils will make the original Congressional
decision look like high statesmanship,
Wouldn't that be nice far a change?

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - APP$NDTX June ~a',2, 196'
would now be appropriate for me to place
in the RECORD a biography of Congress-
woman SULLIVAN to round out the docu-
mentation on the award of honorary de-
grees by Lindenwood College on June 3.
I have obtained such a biography,
brought up to date from an official-pub-
lication of the Women's Bureau of the
U.S. Department of Labor, "Women of
the 89th Congress."
The information contained in this
biography makes it even more of a sur-
prise to us that the degree which Mrs.
S1LLIVAN reeelVed On June $ waS her fiTSt
such honor. The gentlewoman from Mis-
souri has been the chairman of the Sub-
committee on the Panama Canal since
1957, and has done a truly outstanding
job in that important responsibility; she
also servies on the Subcommittee?on the
Coast Guard and on the Subcommittee
an the Merchant Marine.
On the Banking and Currency Com-
mittee, she is chairman of the Subcom-
mittee on Gonsumer Affairs, the ranking
member of the Subcommittee on Hous-
ing, and a ranking member of the Sub-
committee on Small Business. She has
carried out all of her tasks and duties
with conscientious care and great dill-
-Bence, and we are all proud of her. Fur-
thermore, she has taken an active role
'in the consideration and passage of every
piece of legislation which is of vital in-
terest to consumers, and has initiated
action in a great many areas of national
legislation.
I .think every Member of the House
joins Lindenwood College at St. Charles,
Rlio., in applauding the achievements of
this outstanding Representative from the
city of St. Louis, who has played a great
role in the transformation of her own
-city as sponsor of the legislation which
led to the construction of the Gateway
Arch and the Jefferson National Expan-
sion Memorial, and also through the
changes for which she has been repson-
sible in the laws dealing with housing and
.urban development.
And every poor person in the United
States owes her a particular debt of grat-
itude for her indefatigable work over
'the last 14 years in making a reality of
Iher proposal for a food stamp program
to assure adequate and .nutritious diets
for our low-income families. She de-
serves every honor which as been ac-
corded her over the years, including her
first honorary degree.
Her biography is as follows
BIOGRAPHY OF REPRESENTATIVE LEONOR K.
SULLIVAN, DEMOCRAT, THIRD CONGF.ESSIONAL
DLSTRICT, MISSOURI
Mrs. Leonor K. Sullivan, now serving her
eighth term, is the only woman to have
served in Congress from the State of Missouri.
She is the widow of Representative Jahn
Berchmans Sullivan, who was serving his
fourth term in the Congress at the time of
his death in 1951.
A native of St. Louis, Mrs. Sullivan repre-
sents a district located wholly within the
borders of that city. She resigned as training
executive for a St. Louis business machines
corporation when she married the Congress-
man in 1941, and later served as his adminis-
trative assistant. In 1952, after a special elec-
tion had filled the vacancy in the 82d Con-
gress caused by her husband's death, Mrs.
Sullivan decided to run for his former seat
and won election to the 83d Congress. She
was subsequently reelected to the 84th, 86th,
86th, 87th, 88th, 89th and 90th Congress.
Known throughout her career in Congress
for her strong interest in consumer issues,
Mrs. Sullivan is a senior member rf the House
Committee on Banking a'nd C trrency and
chairman of its Subcommittee cn ,Consumer
Affairs, with primary legislative r~reponsibility
for the "truth in lending" bil which she
introduced, and for other cons Inver issues
within the committee's jurlsdi rtion. As a
member of the Subcommittee :on Housing,
she has played a leading rcde in he prepara-
tion of all housing bills passed l y the House
since 1955-sponsoring, particuls.rly, housing .
far the elderly and a new F:EIA la:~n insurance
program for non-profit organizettons to re-
habilitate inexpensive hoxries foc sale at 3%
mortgage financing to low-income .families.
She also helped draft a series of najor meas-
ures to bolster national economi,, conditions,
including the Area Redevelopm,rnt Act, the
Small Business Investment Act. the Export
Credit Insurance Act, the Mass 'Transit Act,
and the Community Facilities Ac t. A ranking
member also of the House Cc~nmittee on
Merchant Marine and Fisheries Mrs. Sulli-
van has served as chairman of Its Subcom-
mit on the Panama Canal since '1957, direct-
ing numerous studies into the operational
problems and activities of 'the Px,nama-Canal
Company.
Besides her own committee responsibili-
ties, Mrs. Sullivan has aei;ively participated
on legislation of consumer interest before
other committees, and was insi.rumental in
the passage of the Poultry Prod acts Inspec-
tion Act of 1957, establishing I'or the first
time compulsory Federal inspect Ian of poul-
try in interstate commerce; a , cries of an-
nual Increases in the approprfa? tons far the
Food and Drug Administrati ~n (Health,
Education, and Welfare Departn i.ent) and of
the Meat and Poultry Inspecti-sn Divisions

tives Act of 1958, requiring px etesting for
safety of all chemical additives used in or on
foodstuffs; the anticancer pro vision-deal-
ing with artificial coloring used 1n foods,
drugs, and cosmetics-of the Ca or Additives
Act of 1960; the Hazardous Su?~stances La-
beling Act of 1961; the :far-rel.>ching Drug
Control Act of 1962, includnn6; the major
provisions relating to Frescrii>tiaxi drugs
first proposed by her 18 mont: is earlier as
part of an omnibus bill to rewr: a the Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 15138; and the
Drag Abuses Control Act of 1'165, dealing
with "pep" pills, barbiturates, L.'3D, etc., also
.taken from her omnibus In.easur:. Other pro-
visions of the omnibus bill, H :8,. 1235, not
yet enacted, call for pretesting for safety of
a.ll ingredients in cosmetics; l~remarketing
clearance of all health device; , a ban on
flavored aspirin; stronger factoay inspection
standards for all products su=xject to the
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act; s ;rioter label-
ing requirements, and many other consumer
protections. She has worked ciao-for auto-
mobile safety and the regulaticix of hazard-
ous materials in industry.
Congresswoman Sullivana woe. the author
of the food stamp law enactec in 1959 for
the distribution of surplus; agrienltural com-
modities to needy Amex?1eLns t}trough regu-
lar grocery stores. A madifled food stamp
plan was instituted by the late President
Kennedy. This led to her introd.xction in the
88th Congress of an admihis hration food
stamp bill which was enacted c l2 August 31,
1964, and now assures good ni. trition for 2
million needy Americans.
In 1957 Mrs. Sullivan drafte, i and intro-
duced for the first time the exceptional
children educational assistancf bill to en-
courage experienced teachers uo take ad-

broadened the program to tnclude teachers of

Mr. GARMATZ. Mr. Speaker, I read
with i~reat interest in the Appendix of
the C9NGRESSIONAL RECORD for Friday,
June ::6, an insertion by our colleague,
the g~:ntlewoman from Missouri [Mrs.
S17LLIC AN7 which included the text of an
address delivered at commencement ex-
ercises . at Lindenwood College, St.
Charles, Mo., an June 3, by the Honor-
able Patricia Roberts Harris, U.S. Am-
bassador to Luxembourg. According to
the information placed in the RECORD
by Co:zgresswaman SULLIVAN, Ambassa:
dor H;1'rris received an honorary degree
of do~:tor of laws at that commence-
ment. Mrs. SULLIVAN stated in her re-
marks in the RECORD that it was her
privilege to hear Ambassador Harris
make an excellent address an the sub-
ject "'Che Duty of Dissent." With char-
acteristic modesty, however, Mrs. SUL-
LIVAN failed to indicate in her statement
how s:ie happened to be at Lindenwood
Colleg~ commencement exercises that

I happen to known why she was there.
Congresswoman LEONOR K. SULLIVAN,
the ranking member of the House Com-
mittee on Merchant Marine and Fish-
eries, of which I am privileged to be
chairman, and a ranking member of the
Committee on Banking and Currency-
one oi" the outstanding Members of the
House of Representatives, and the fore-
most 'Member in the field of consumer
affair;-was present at Lindenwood Col-
lege an June 3 in order to be honored,
as wss Ambassador Harris, with the
award of an honorary doctor of laws
degree:.
For this fine Member of Congress who
is one of the hardest working Members in
either body, the event was of .more than
routine significance, for it marked the
award of her very first honorary degree.
This ~lndoubtedly will be something of
surprise to most of our colleagues-that
is, that after nearly 15 years in the House
of Representatives, where she has served
with :such distinction and effectiveness,
this v ould be her first honorary degree.
I rece;7tly noted in the press that Senator
MARGE.RET CHASE SMITH Of Maine had re-
eeived her 50th honorary degree.
All I can say is that Lindenwood Col-
lege, `which is not in Mrs. SuLLrvex's con-
gressi~nai district, deserves the thanks
of th~a entire House of Representatives
for hs?ving the perspicacity and imagina-
tion t~ single out the gentlewoman from
Missouri for this honor which I know
Mrs. I~uLLIVAN will always treasure.

Twentieth-Century Miracle
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. ABRAHAM J. MULTER
OF NEW.YORK
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, June 22, 1967
Mr. MULTER. Mr. Speaker, since the
beginning of the Middle East crisis,
American sympathy. and admiratKOn has
been with Israel. It is not difficult to see
why this brave, small state has won the
hearts of so many of our citizens.
Yvette Scharfman has expressed this
very idea in an article written for a
Brooklyn newspaper.
I commend to the attention of our col-
leagues her column which appeared in
the June 17, 1967, edition of the Bay
News & Kings Courier.
The article follows:
TWENTTETI3-CENTURY MIRJICLE
(By Yvette Scharfman).
At this writing one week ago we heard that
war had broken out in the Middle East. We
wrote our column with heart-sick outrage at
man's inhumanity to man. We saw Israel, the
only.bastion of democracy in the area, sur-
rounded on all sides by those who openly
threatened to annihilate her, the interna-
tional tribunal notwithstanding. Enforcing
the threats of the bully Nasser were hundreds
of Russian communist "technicians and ad-
visers" plus thousands of tanks, planes and
other armaments .costing millions of dollars.
We write that only a modern David-Goliath
confrontation; a veritable miracle would be
needed to save Israel; but that the little
oaulitry has proven herself worthy of a
miracle.
Let us remind our readers that after the
Hungarian revolt against Russia some ten
years ago there were conferences at summit
level by the western world as to the absorp-
tion of some 80,000 refugees over-running
Vienna. The civilized world looked to our
country to lead the way in welcoming the
brave group who escaped the communist
hordes. The then President (American his-
tory has shown that good generals make bad
presidents) consented to the admittance of
35,000 Hungarian refugees-each of whom
was submitted to a rigorous health examina-
tion, besides requiring a bond posted by an
individual or organization testifying that said
immigrant would not become a public charge.
Let us compare that with the new little coun-
try, Israel, which could then comfortably fit
into the state of Rhode Island. The Israelis,
newly arrived, were themselves struggling for
survival. But from the time they beat the
Arab world in 1948 they declared an open-
door policy for any Jew who wished to enter.
Israel admitted one and ahalf-million people
since she became a state I There are no health
or medical qualifications here; no bonds re-
qulred.'On the contrary, she has welcomed
the sick, the lame, the blind, the ignorant,
and- the penniless. She has sheltered them,
fed them, healed them, clothed them, edu-
cated them, and at great sacrifice has tried
to absorb them into the economic and social
fabric of'the country, In all the world there
has never been a people so responsive to the
needs of others! Is she not then worthy of the
miracle which we in the sophisticated, skep-
tical, cynical latter-half 20th century have
been privileged to witness? For those of us
who still believe in miracles, no explanation
is necessary; for those who do not, no ex-
planation is possible. Suffice St to say that the
two million have conquered the whole Arab
world (eighty million) and their communist
henchmen who fed their vanity and their
coffers.
But the Israelis have also lost; besides too
many young brave soldiers, close to ten mil-
lion dollars in their grass national product.
Their economy, at a complete stand-still, has
been set bank ten years. Persecution of Jews
in Arab countries a_nd in the communist
satellites is expected to be accelerated. Jews
will attempt to flee to Israel, although the
escape is fraught with peril. We Americans
must help to take over the task of caring for
the anticipated immigration and for the in-
digent refugees already in the country.
Emergency meetings have been called for
every night in the week since the war began!
It is a great thrill to relate that some of the
most successful of these meetings have been
called by our Christian neighbors.
Al Hesterberg, President of the Flatbush
Democratic Club, called one on Monday
night. President Lester Sachs presided, and
did much of the spade work behind the
scenes. Al Hesterberg is no stranger to the
mid-east situation. He read a resolution
which he, in the company of Congressmen
Rooney snd Multer, presented to the State
Department way back in 1956 when the situ-
ation was much the same. Congresswoman
Edna Kelly reminded the audience that the
only reason she didn't accompany the mis-
sion of mercy was because she was not our
representative at the time. Her pithy x?emark
that the Israelis were fighting the world's
fight ago-inst communism was well taken;
she-will so state ixx a resolution she plans to
offer in Congress. We don't know how much
money was raised at the club, but we under-
stand it was quite substantial.
Yes, it seems decent people of all faiths
are indeed rallying to the side of Israel, who
has exposed the evil forces in the world today.
Let us support our President in his honest
and sincere effort to stop the spreading of
their tentacled
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. LESTER L. WOLFF
OF NEW YORK
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, June 22, 1967
Mr. WOLFF. Mr. Speaker, the recent
tragic events in the Middle East are only
part of a long history of Russian sup-
ported Arab aggression against Israel.
In the June 20 issue of the Long Island
Press an editorial on the cooperation
needed for a permanent peace in the
Middle East struck at the heart of the
problem. This clew' and eloquent edi-
torial displays the deft hand of editor
David Starr. Under leave to extend my
remarks I wish to include that editorial,
which follows, in the CONGRESSIONAL
RECORD
IP words and reason were bullets and
bombs, Abba Eban did to th,e Soviet Union
yesterday what "Israel's armies did to the
Arabs the week of June 5.
The eloquent Israeli foreign minister
hurled battalions of logical arguments
against the entrenched positions of Soviet
Premier Alexei N. Kosygln in the opening
A 3213
debate in the United Nations General
Assembly.
The Russian quit the field, outclassed. But
before he left the Assembly Hall, he heard
Mr. Eban-in rolling, Churcllillian oratory,
never once lapsing into acliche--demolish
the narrow, legalistic Russian attempt to pin
the blame for the Mideast mess on Israel.
Mr. Eban traced the "sad and shocking
story" of 14 years of Soviet aid and encour-
agement to the Arabs. He ticked off in over-
whelming detail the numbers of tanks, fighter
planes and bombers, mortars, field guns and
rocket launchers-the entire $2 billion In
Russian arms now either in Israeli hands or
rotting in the desert. He exposed the fabric of
Arab provocation that sparked the war Russia
is trying now to pin an Israel. And he out-
lined, too, a blueprint far the cooperation
that will insure the road to a Mideast peace.
The man from Moscow, true to the
absolutist tradition of hLs country, could not
get away from wards like "categorical," "ir-
refutable," "without any condition," "resti-
tute 1n full," "inadmissible," and so on. Israel
was black, the Arabs, white. And back. in
Moscow, television carried Premier Kosygin's
speech in full and live, but cut the sound
and ended the transmission as Mr. Eban took
the rostrum.
But beyond style and wards are facts.
Israel stands at Suez, at Sharm el Sheikh and
on both banks of the Jordan. The Arabs are
ixx disarray-militarily, politically and eco-
nomically. If the Russians are deficient in
style and words, they're sharp about facing
facts. They know today, as they knew two
weeks ago, that to make their demands in the
Mideast stick they would have first to cross
nuclear swords with the U.S. This has not
changed.
There is a way out of this blind alley, if
Russia wishes to take it. President Johnson
made it abundantly clear that the U.S. stands
ready to tackle substantive issues that lie at
the roots of world turmoil. His speech was
clearly designed to create an atmosphere in
which constructive moves would be possible-
for all sides and with honor. The opportunity
for peace is here. It simply must be seized.
Law Needed To Curtail Incitement to
Violence

OF
HON. JOE L. EVINS
OF TENNESSEE

Thursday, June 22, 1967
Mr. EVINS of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker,
the violence and anarchy in our streets
are corroding our country-eating away
at the basic principles of law and order
that are the foundation of our great Na-
tion.
In this connection, Mr. David Law-
rence, the nationally syndicated col-
umnist, has written an article emphasiz-
ing the need for legislation to make it a
Federal offense to travel between States
for the purpose of inciting violence and
insurrection.
I have joined other colleagues in spon-
soring such a bill and because of the in-
terest of my colleagues and the Nation
generally in this matter of law and order,
I ask unanimous consent that the article
written by Mr. Lawrence be reprinted in
the Appendix of the RECORD.

[Frerrll the Washington (D.C.) Evening Star,
June 19, 1967]
Iu4w i'QEEDED ON INCITING TO VIOLENCE
(By David Lawrence)
Tlae most pressing problem that faces the
American people ie not the friction in the
Middle East but the friction inside the
UxiU:Hd States-the violence in the streets of
marry cities involving personal injuxy, bomb-
ings.and destruction of private property.
MDre than 9Q bias have been introduced in
Congress designed to make it a federal crime
for ;persons to travel from state to state for
the purpose of fomenting disorders. But up
to sow .proposed legislation has not been
acted upon, though within the last few days
efforts have been made to get a bill before
the House of Representatives for action.
O:ze of the principal reasons for delay is
the attitude of the administration and some
of t;Ie Democratic leaders in Congress, Their
feelijlg is that such legislation might be mis.
uses; by local authorities to interfere with
1eg111mate protest. This excuse could be ap-
plied as a barrier to almost any Iegislative
prog~sal. The whole judicial system, however;
was'.' established to differentiate between
abui~ of the law and its groper enforcement.
T](e issue is not as fuzzy as some of the
procfastinators_ in_Congress would have the
peo~~.e of the country believe. For the Su-
prerXe Court of the United States has plainly
statr~l again and again in many an oginion
that` it is a crime to incite. to violencei IIx`
a resent case Justice Black, speaking for the
maj~~rity of the high court, rejected the -idea
thaY'in propagandizing protests people "have
a ocnstitutional xight to do so whenever and
however and wherever they please."
There are, of course, plenty of places-for
orderly demonstrations, not only in auditori=
ums'and stadiums but also through properly
conducted parades or marches. The key to
the current trouble is the tendency of the
agit!~tors to harangue crowds, flinging insults
and' accusations, and too often this results
in physical clashes and violence of all kinds,
Dues "free speech" immunize from punish-
ment a person who incites others to maim or
kill or riot? While the laws of all states pro-
hibit disorder,, can it be argued that incite-
meDt to violence cannot be punished because
"fre3 speech" is impaired?
Lt~t year the House of Representatives, by
a vote of 389 to 25, approved a measure, spon,
sores by William C. Cramer, R-Fla., which
would make it a federal crime to travel be-
twe:il- states, or use interstate facilities, with
the purpose of inciting riots, violence, arson,
bolr,;bing, or any other felony under a state
or f~3deral law. This was an amendment to a
civil-rights bill which later died in the Sen-
ate. Similar proposals have since been
pigeonholed3n the House Judiciary Commit-
tee, with the approval, of course, of the ad=
ministration.
'When will Congress act?-The states have
beelF struggling with the problem, and oc-
casl3nally have to use their National Guard
tb intervene and prevent further violence.
But the issue is whether the states and cities
should be obliged to wait until a riot breaks
out or whether the federal government will
step in to investigate the plots and con-
spirlcies when groups meet to select "target"
citil^s for "demonstrations" which inevitably
lead `to outbursts of violence.
Tie federal government, through its
machinery of investigation, could quickly
put its finger on the individuals who are re-
spo~ISible #or "demonstrations" that lead to
discrder. Many of those who are behind the
big "demonstrations" openly predict violence
and indicate in advance that they will do
thilugs which are plainly provocative. This
can'be dealt with by federal law but not a1-
waye by the states and cities. The difriculty is
that the states do not know what is being
plotted outside their borders where the ar-
rani;ements are usually made for the provoca-
tier.: of disorders.
Congress, therefore, is the starting point for
corrective action. Once a federal law is en-
acted making it possible to arrest and punish
individuals who incite others to violence, it
may be anticipated that those who wish to
express themselves freely on controversial
questions will find ways of doing it in an or-
derly Cashion.
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. EDWARD J. DERWINSKI
OF ILLINOIS
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, June 22, 1967
Mr. DERWINSKI. Mr. Speaker, one of
the obvious failures of the administration
is its unimaginative operation of the
U.S. Information Agency and more spe-
cifically the Voice of America.
The Voice of America is an operation
of minimum effectiveness since policy
decisions have rendered its messages
meaningless. However, there is growing
concern developing across the country
over the ineffectiveness of the Voice of
America and I insert in the RECORD at
this point a copy of a resolution adopted
by the Slovenian Women's Union of
America, at their recent national con-
vention in Washington, D.C., which is
self-explanatory and recommends a
course of action which would be a prac-
tical step in the Voice of America's
operations:
RESOLUTION OF TAE SLOVENIAN WOMEN'S
UNION OF AMERICA
Whereas, the Republic of Slovenia, in the
northwestern part of Yugoslavia, 7s the only
cultural and progressive nation of 2 million
persons without the direct services of a
United States Consulate or Information Serv-
ice post; and,
Whereas, Members of the Slovenian Wom-
en's Union of America continue to receive
complaints from their. relatives and friends
in Slovenia, concerning the time of broad-
cast and lack of medium wave lengths for
the Slovenian broadcasts over the Voice of
America; and,
Whereas, Two evening programs in Slove-
nian were replaced a year ago by two early
morning programs of only 15 minute dura-
tion; and,
Whereas, For many listeners who have in-
dicated their desire to listen to the broad-
casts, this time is very inconvenient; and,
Whereas, The two early morning programs
are not transmitted on medium length
waves; and,
Whereas, Since the Voice of America pro-
gram is the only direct American contact
with the people of the Yugoslav Republic of
Slovenia; now, therefore,
Be it known, that the Delegates convened
at the 14th National Convention of the Slo-
venian Women's Union oP America make this
appeal to the Director of the United States
Information Agency to re-~tabiish the Voice
of America programs in Slovenian Ianguage
to the former, traditional broadcast time
and to be transmitted over medium wave
lengths.
Approved by unanimous decision of the
14th National Convention of the Slovenian
Women's Union of America.

Supreme Court ruled, on Apr is 17, 1967 that
unions have a right to boycott products
shipped into areas of their jurisdiction if
the major purpose is to prote: t workers' jobs.
This decision arose from th,: complaint of

decision were recognized by .the Court in
"holding back progress;." however, they ad-
vised the Manufacturer's A sociation that
this argument was "addresse,i to the wrong
branch of government," and indicated that
legislative relief would be rer~uired. It is for
this reason that I address th s letter to you.

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD --- APPENDIX June ~~, 1967
Also, please note that the Con?zess, which
represents the American people and would
force the public by law to pay the excise tax,
would have no control over the public tele-
vision to be imposed on the nation. The con-
trol would ultimately lie in the hands of
the Executive Branch, for the report fur-
ther proposes that the corporation be run
by twelve directors--six of whom would be
appointed by the President and confirmed
by the Senate-not the House of Representa-
tives-and the other six directors would be
selected by the first six. Their terms of office
would be for six years. Thus, the public
television network, supported by the buyers
of television sets, would be controlled by a
select group of liberal-totalitarians whose
lob it would be to conceive of TV programs to
serve the "full needs of the American pub-
lic," whatever that means. That some of the
programs will be of some value to some
people is beyond question, but the very
means of financing the program-by taxa-
tion, which is one of the govermnent's most
obnoxious and irritating uses of force-sug-
gests that the network will not serve any
pertinent needs of the American public, for
ii it did, it could easily find commercial spon-
sors to back it.
It is typical of the liberal-totalitarians
that they should resort to force i;o impose
their supposedly superior concept of tele-
vision on the American people. Therefore
they appeal to government to do for them
with the stoke of a pen what three decades
of private investment and development did
far comx~erciai TV.
What will "pixblie television"---or, more
appropriately, the Parasitic Network-trans-
mit to the American people? James Reston,
an articulate spokesman for the totalitar-
ians, wrote , in his column of January 26,
1967:
"They [the Carnegie Commission] are say-
ing that while Jackie Gleason. may be more
amusing than Senator J. William Fulbright
of Arkansas, and the battle between the Kan-
sas City Chiefs and the Green Bay Packers
more popular than the struggle for China,
nevertheless there may be a difference be-
tween what is amusing and what fa impor-
tant.
"In short, the Carnegie Commission is
suggesting that there is a difference between
what -sells on television and what endures,
what takes people's minds off the troubling
issues for decision in a democracy, and what
keeps their minds on those decisions:'
In other words, the proponents of "public
television"-overly interested in the minds of
the viewers-are telling the American peo-
ple that their values are all mixed up. What
they are saying is that the American people
should want to listen to J. William Fulbright
more than to Jackie Gleason, that they
should be more interested in the struggle
for China than in a football game. What
the educators are saying is that the Ameri-
casi people are a bunch of children who have
to be instructed in what to want, in what
to value. I}ut please note that these arrogant,
self-conceited instructors expect to be com-
fortably .subsidized by the very consumers
they despise and look down on but who are
responsible and smart enough to earn the
money to pay the .taxes to support the para-
sitic educators, but not smart enough to
know what they should want.
Of course larceny on so grand a scale re-
quires conmanship of an inordinatelq high
caliber. The Commission's report itself is a
good example of such conmanship. But an
even better example is the editorial which
appeared in Life magazine oY Februrary 17,
1967. After opening on the theme of the
"vast wasteland" and giving the Carnegie
Commission a puff, the Life editorialist wrote:
"The commercial networks are both crea-
tors and the victims of the pressure for uni-
formity. Squeezed by ratings, they choose to
appeal to the widest possible audience. De-
spite the magnificent job. they can do, there
is little room in their schedule Yor the new
or the unique-for the item that has great
appeal if its audience is limited: '
Life forgets that TV, like itself, is a mass
medium, that it awes- its entire success to
the fact that it serves a mass audience. No
one has suggested that the federal govern-
ment subsidize a magazine similar to Life
free of commercial pressures "to serve the
full needs of the American public." So why
should the cultural elite require television as
a means of expression? Also, since when is
the new or unique excluded from commer-
cial TV if it is any good3 But if the cultural
elite want a TV network of their own, why
don't they pay for it themselves? Why must
they become parasites and demand that those
whom they consider culturally inferior and
despise subsidize them.
They don't like what their supposed in-
feriors like, but'they do like their money.
Life writes without flinching an eyelash: "a
massive financial transfusion from the fed-
eral government for noncommercial televi-
sion is the only way to give the viewer a
real choice when he turns on his set."
What is this "real choice" and why must
the taxpayer be compelled to subsidize it?
He doesn't have much of a free choice 1f he
is forced to support it. The viewer now has
as much Pree choice as he will ever have in
the selection of programs. What guarantee
does he have that Public TV will actually
offer a real choice? None, of course, He will
be offered whatever the educators think Ss
good for him. Life states:
"A basic concern, held by many, on any
large-scale undertaking od' noncommercial
television is the fear that it will develop
into a "Big Brother" voice of the govern-
ment or of some cultural Establishment. To
avoid this possibility, the Carnegie plan
would esbablish a nongovernmental non-
profit corporation as' the core of Public TV.
The corporation would set as a buffer be-
tween the sources of funds--tax revenues,
foundations ar private donors-and the cre-
ative producers who should be shielded froze
the influence that financial support often
demands: '
In other wards, the "creative producers"-
anew species of sacred cow-will be shielded
fmm economic reality, which all of us plain
folk must face in our daily lives. They will
be insulated froze the harsh economic re-
alities oR' the outer world. What kind of
"creativity" will Dome out of such a group
remains to be seen. Supposedly, this detach-
ment will make these creators free agents,
beholden to no power clique or Big Brother.
Thus, according to Life, they will be a power
unto themselves, in positions to mold tastes,
influence millions, and push their favorite
writers and actors. Why should any group
be given such power on a silver platter with
no strings attached? Why should such a
privileged group exist at all in a free coun-
try?
Life, of course, would hardly be expected
to ask su?eh legitimate and fundamental
questions. );ts main concern is in seeing that
the Parasitic Network gets an expanded tax
base. It writes:
"A tax on sets would- fall directly on the
consumers-the audience. It would seem
more logical to insist that those who are
profiting most should share the burden.
That could be arranged by imposing a fran-
chise tax on commercial television channels,
or a tax on the advertising billings that
support them."
.The parasite knows just where to put the
bite. The commercial developers made tele-
vision possible. They are profiting from
something they themselves nurtured, in-
vested in, and developed. Yet, the impres-
sion Life gives is that they are profiting from
something which is not reallq theirs. The
editorials elaborates, and here has conman-
ship reaches Sts epitome:
"Commercial television stations have a
priceless stock in trade-monopoly control
of an air channel that belongs to the public.
The public has never been paid for it, A tax
on commercial operations to support Public
TV would be a means of extracting revenues
from the airwaves owned by all, to reach
that part of the audience that is now sub-
stantially ignored."
It would take a book to disentangle the
incredible fallacies jammed into that para-
graph. In the first place, no air channel was
ever owned by anyone, let alone the public.
TV stations are assigned air channels in
much the same way that airplanes are as-
signed aflight path. The problem is one of
traffic, not ownership. The public, which is
a loose term used to designate. "everybody,"
never expected to be paid for the use of the
air. Such a concept is so incredible that only
an intellectual Svengali would even want to
make use of it. Using the same logic, one
could argue that the public owns the Eng-
lish language and that Life magazine,
which has earned a huge fortune using it,
ought to pay a special tax to the public just
for using the language. But Life's twisted
logic knows no limits. First, it puts forth
the notion that the public owns the air
channels. However, it doesn't then suggest
that the commercial networks send dividend
checks to every living person in the United
States. It suggests that the commercial net-
works subsidize a group of educators who
will be using the same air channels-sup-
posedly owned by the public-free of charge,
IP the commercial operators owe something
to the public, it is hard to fathom how they
can square themselves with the public by
paying for the upkeep of a parasitic noncom-
mercial system.
Just because the Carnegie Commission calls
their system "Public TV" doesn't mean that
the public will own it. Life magazine stressed
the point that the corporation would be a
power unto itself, answerable to no one, in-
cluding the public. And so, the Life argument
holds as much water as a sieve. As for "that
part of the audience that is now substantially
ignored," we have seen no polls or surveys to
indicate where that audience is or what that
audience wants which it is now not getting
from TV. Everyone has his own pet interests,
but no one expects a television network to
put on TV specials for the benefit oY bird
watchers, button collectors, and devotees of
Sanskrit poetry.
All of these arguments notwithstanding,
the totalitarian juggernaut just keeps rolling
along. According to the New York Times of
March 1, 1967:
"President Johnson asked Congress today
to create a corporation for Public Television
that could channel both public and private
funds into noncommercial television and ra-
dio facilities and programs ... .
"Mr. Johnson said the board of directors
would be appointed by him from the fields of
education, communications and the creative
arts, subject to confirmation from the Sen-
ate. It is thought that these should be men
and women of suf[icient stature to protect
the corporation from interference by the
Government, even though it may become de-
pendent on sizable Federal subsidies."
And so the Great Swindle goes on.

DEAR MR. PRESIDENT: "These are the times
which try men's souls:' I know that the af-
fairs of State weigh heavily upon your
shoulders. My prayers include you and mem-
bers of your family. May the Giver of Life
bless you with health, long life and strength.
Map He endow you with the wisdom of a
Solomon, the faith of Job and the strength
of Samson to bear well the difficult affairs of
the world which must weigh heavily upon
your shoulders.
I write to you at this time as a leader of
American Jewry, as a Rabbi who has served
this beloved country in War and Peace, and
as one to whom the American way of life
is dear and meaningful.
I am respectfully asking that you review
the whole attitude of our country towards
the whole world and- more particularly as it
relates to the State of Israel. No country in
the world has shown its love and respect
for the American way of life and has been
as devoted to our country as has the little
State of Israel-small in size but large in
stature. The State of Israel has been stand-
ing as a bastion of Democracy practicing the
principles of life as enunciated by our Dec-
laration of Independence, as taught by
American History, and as set down by the
Founding Fathers of our country.
In observing the proceedings of the United
Nations it is easy to see the difference in
caliber between the representatives of the
State of Israel and the Arab. The presence
of the Arabs in this country is a disgrace;
dangerous and insulting. Their treading on
American soil desecrates the ground for
which ,thousands of American men and
women have given their lives on the far flung
battlefields of the world.
Mr. President I propose to you the follow-
ing steps:
1. Recognition oP the fact that the Arabs
are the aggressors.
2. Recognition of the right od Israel to
exist and to retain whatever new lands they
acquire.
3. Complete discontinuance oP any help to
the Arabs as Lang as they maintain ties with
the communists.
4. No help to the Arabs as long as 6% of
the leaders are billionaires and 9b% poverty
stricken.
b. Internationalization of the Suez Canal
and the Gulf of Aqaba.
6. Expulsion from this country at Fedo-
renko and his communist cohorts, They
have used the United Nations as a base far
spy operations and as a platform for spread-
ing venom. Thank God that the American
people realize this and ignore them. How-
ever, they are dangerous.
7. Trial of Nasser as a war criminal.
8. Help to rebuild the economy of Israel
which has been practically destroyed by the
ignorant Arabs.
9. Continued help to the people of the
State of Israel.
10. Break of[ diplomatic relations with the
Russians and Arab countries.
With kindest personal regards to you and
the family,
Yours in the Service of God and
Country,

HON. PHILIP E. RUPPE
OS MICHICu1N
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Wednesday, June 2i, 1967
Mr. RUPPE. Mr. Speaker, the Part-
ners of the Alliance, consisting of 32 U.S.
States and 31 Latin American counter-
parts, is an outstanding program of in-
ternational understanding with concrete
results. Michigan is fortunate to have
developed under the leadership of Gov.
George Romney and former Congress-
man Alvin M. Bentley, a flourishing
partnership with British Honduras. The
following success story, written by Mr.
Bentley, deserves the attention of every
Member of Congress. Mr. Bentley's arti-
cle appeared in Michigan Challenge, the
official publication of the Michigan State
Chamber of Commerce.
The article follows:
PARTNERa OF THE ALLIANCE
Although the United States sends large
sums of financial and technical assistance to
the independent Latin American Republics
each year through the Agency for Interna-
tional Development, a new concept has been
born under the Alliance for Progress of the
U.S. Department of State-the concept of
direct assistance or, put more succinctly, pri-
vate foreign aid.
Direct assistance, or private foreign aid, is
the operating philosophy behind the part-
ners oP the Alliance programs which are cur-
rently functioning between 32 U.S. states and
31 Latin American counterparts. Rated as
the foremost among these partnerships is
the one between Michigan and British Hon-
duras, soon to be the independent nation oP
Belize. And, it might be added, it is the only
Latin American partner that does not receive
AID funds or Technical Assistance.
The Michigan Partners of the Alliance was
organized on February 24, 1966 at the in-
vitation oP Governor George Romney and
under my chairmanship. The governor had
called the organizational meeting after re-
ceiving aletter from Premier George Price
of British Honduras expressing his country's
interest in a partnership with Michigan.
Although privately incol'porated in the
State of Michigan, the organization operates
in con unction with the Partners of the Al-
liance Program under the auspices of the
Alliance for Progress, Agency for Interna-
tional Development, U.S. Department of
State.
British Honduras is located on the east
coast ai Central America facing the Car-
ribean Sea and bounded on the north and
west by Mexico and on the south and west
by Guatemala. The total land area is 8>866
square miles including a number of pic-
turesque Cayes which lie oS the coast and
are protected by the world's second largest
barrier reef.

E~i:TENSION OF REMARKS
OF
H01V. JAMES H. SCHEUER
? OF NEW YORK
IN THIa HOIISE OF REPRESENTATIVES
kednesday, June 2i, 1967
Mr. S ~HEUER. Mr, Speaker, I would
like to lut in the RECORD the following
report from the Independent Observer,
which is published and edited by Mr. and
-Mrs. Ed ward W. McVitty. I believe this
report f~ a significant analysis of the
results c f the United Nations Secretary
General's actions on the 18th of May:
THE END OF UNEF
At. nocu on the 18th of Map 1967, the
United rations Secretary General was in-
formed t:aat the Government of the United
Arab Republic had "decided to terminate the
presence of the United Nations Emergency
Force in the territory of the United Arab
Republic and Gaza Strip." On the evening
of that same dap, U Thant cabled the UN
CommandQr in the field to withdraw UNEF.
The day before formal notice was received
from the U.A.R., the Secretary General had
held "an exchange oP views" with represent-
atives of governments having contingents in
the Emergency Force. U.A.R. armed forces
had already sought to remove UN personnel
from their posts along the Armistice Demar-
cation Line. There seems to be little doubt
that the usefulness oP UNEF, if not the ac-
tual security of its rnen, was jeopardized by
the advance of the United Arab RepubIic's
Army.
The views that may have been expressed
in the informal consultation on Map 17th
have not been disclosed, but U Thant did
-not refer the matter to the IIN General As-
sembly or to the Security Council. Instead,
he took executive action to withdraw the
Force as soon as the U.A.R. made its. demand.
In his Reports to the General Assembly
and Security Council the Secretary General
stated that the reasons for the U.A.R. de-
cision "have not been officially stated." U
Thant explained his awn action by saying
it seemed "fully cleax" to him that "since
United Arab Republic consent was with-
drawn it was incumbent on the Secretary
General to give orders for the oithdrawal
of the Force."
"The consent of the host country is a basic
principle which has applied to all United
Nations peace-keeping operations," he said.
The principle of consent is certainly one
of the features that distinguish peacekeep-
ing operations from UN military enforce-
ment action. Host country consent is essen-
tial to the deployment of a UN Peace Force.
There is, however, a question as to what
happens thereafter with respect to mainte:-
ruance of the Force in the territory for the
fulfillment of its agreed purpose. It does not
seem to have been intended that "instant"
withdrawal of consent would be matched
bg "irLStant" withdrawal of UNEF.
When the U.A.R, consented to the deploy-
ment of UNEF, that Government and-the UN
Secretary General signed "good-faith"
declarations. The host Government pledged
itself, "when exercising its sovereign rights
on any matter concerning the presence and
functioning of UNEF," to be "guided in good
faith by its acceptance" of the General As-
sembly resolution outlining the purposes and
rote of the Force. The Secretary General, on
behalf of the UN, declared "that the activi-
ties of U~7Ek will be guided in good faith
by the task established for the Force."
Ixl 1958, Dag Hammarskjold, in a report on
UN peace-keeping experience, discussed the
meaning of these "good-faith" declarations
to which he had been a party. According to
Hammarsk fold,
"The consequence of such a bilateral dec-
laration is that, were either side to act uni-
laterally in refusing continued presence or
deciding on withdrawal, and were the other
side to find that such action was contrary to
a good-faith interpretation of the purposes
of the operation, an exchange of views would
be called for towards harmonizing the posi-
tions."
The niceties of such "good-faith" agree-
ments -may have little relevance now that
UNEF is out, and.the Arabs and Israelis are
again at each others throats. The pity is that
the Secretary General did not thus seek to
gain a little time for "an exchange of views"
in Cairo before, rather-than after, the with-
drawal of UNEF. fine situation may have
seemed hopeless, but the UN has saved other
well-nigh hopeless situations by keeping its
own foot in the door for a few days.
The pity is that Israel has not seized the
opportunity to invite UNEF onto its side of
the Demarcation Line. A more constructive
and popular move could hardly be conceived
for that Government in prese at circum-
stances.
The pity is, that prece:ients set by the
United Nations tend to be inv~ eked on all
similar occasions. UN peace-keg--ping capa-
bilities were weak enough before-the United
Arab Republic demonstrated that the Or-
ganization would not. challenge the breach
of a good-faith agreement with :~espe;ct to a
UN Force.

Mr. WYMAN. Mr. :ipeak er, many
Members of Congress and thr.usands of
interested citizens are increasingly con-
cerned with the alarming; gro?,ath of the
Federal Government and the resulting
erosion of personal freedoms -with this
advent of bureaucratic contr~,i. At this
time, there are approxim ~tely 400
grants-in-aid programs admir_astered by
no less than 21 different Federal agen-
cies and 150 Federal bureau.. Perhaps
this is the reason that Arnold Toynbee,
noted British historian, said t'Ze United
States now is encumbered wii'h a semi-
socialistic form of goverlnnen is.
Herein lies a very real Fend grave

they approve of the trend,
Ten years ago, when President l;isenhower
proposed his 1958 administrative budget of
$71.8 billion, the public reaction w;.?s definite.
Irate taxpayers demanded reducti :ins in the
budget in a flood of letters to caaigressmen.
The officials of government, including the
President, the Democratic majorriq in Con-

demned the upward trend of :Federz'1 spending
and joined in calling for substa:'itial cuts.
When Congress adjourned that ye ar, it had
succeeded in cutting the proposed ',~udget_by
almost $5 billion. Since 1960,. the I~opuIation

FIF'T'Y CLERGYMEN SUPPORT
ISRAEL
(Mr. BARING (at the request of Mr.
GONZALEZ) WaS granted permission to
extend his remarks at this point in the
RECORD and to include extraneous
matter)
Mr. BARING. Mr. Speaker, on the
8th of June 1967, 50 clergymen, repre-
senting Protestant, Jewish, Catholic,
Greek Orthodox, and Mormon faiths,
met and by unanimous agreement
adopted a resolution on behalf of the
State of Israel.
This resolution was presented at two
mass meetings in Las Vegas attended by
over 1,500 Jews and Christians, and re-
ceived astanding ovation.
In an accompanying letter signed by
Rabbi Aaron S. Gold, of Temple Beth
Sholom, and three prominent Nevans,
Mr. Hank Greenspan, Mr, Jack Entrat-
ter, and Mr. Al Benedict, the fervent
hope Was expressed that our Govern-
ment will act with courage in support-
ing freedom and justice for the State of
Israel.
Under unanimous consent, I insert this
resolution in the RECORD at this point,
and urge my colleagues here in the House
to read it, and to bear in mind the cour-
ageous efforts Israel made to survive as
a nation, which deserves our support and
gratitude.
CLERGYMEN'S RESOLUTION ON BEHALF OF
ISRAEL
At a meeting held on Friday afternoon,
June 9, 1967, at Temple Beth Sholom, and
attended by over 50 clergyman representing
Roman Catholic, Mormon, Jewish, Protestant
and Greek Orthodox faiths, it was moved
and unanimously agreed upon to offer the
following resolution on behalf of the State
of Israel, to be presented to the proper agen-
cies of the United States Government and
the United Nations:
1. We, as clergymen, cannot be neutral
where an issue of freedom and justice is in-
volved. We, therefore, raise our voices to
state unequivocally that we believe the
cause of Israel is just and right,
2. We favor direct peace negotiations and
not an armistice between Israel and her Arab
neighboring states, and that these negotia-
tions are to be based on the fact that Israel
is a sovereign state, meeting with Arab sov-
ereign states, all participants having full
rights and responsibilities in the interna-
tional community. We further favor a perma-
nent peace settlement as an outgrowth of
these negotiations.
3. We favor that the old city of Jerusalem
remain under the sovereign jurisdiction oY
Israel, thus insuring free access to ail faiths,
at all times, to the holy places located there.
4. We are in favor of Israel's borders be-
coming viable and defensible.
5. We hold that the following water ways
should be international waterways: The Med-
iterranean Sea, The Suez Canal, The Gulf of
Aqaba and the Straits of Tlran, and we favor
free and unmolested passage through them to
all nations, including Israel.
Signed by the Resolution Committee:
Father James Adams, St. John'a Greek
Orthodox Church; Reverend Marion Bennett,
Zion Methodist Church; Dr. Aaron S. Gold,
Rabbi, Temple Beth Sholom; Reverend
Douglas Harrell, First Methodist Church and
President, Clark County Ministerial Associa-
tion; Reverend Joseph Kohn, Cantor, Temple
Beth Sholom; Father Tally H. Jarrett,
Christ Episcopal Church; Father Patrick
Toomey, St. Viator's Catholic Church; Mr.
Reed Whipple, President, Stake of Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
In line with the views expressed in this
resolution I had already on the 20th of
June joined several of my colleagues in
introducing a resolution urging the
President to work for five objectives in
achieving peace in the Middle East.
This resolution calls upon the Presi-
dent to oppose preconditions for negotia-
tions that would require "the relinquish-
ment of Israel of territories possessed"
at the time of the cease-fire.
The five objectives to which I urge
the President to address himself, using
all diplomatic resources and the United
Nations are:
First, Arab acknowledge of Israel's
existence and sovereignty.
Second, freedom of passage for all na-
tions, including Israel, in the Suez Canal
and the Gulf of Aqaba.
Third, final settlement and acknowl-
edgment of Israel's boundaries by the
Arab States.
Fourth, effective restrictions on the
flow of arms into the Middle East.
Fifth, resolution of the refugee prob-
lem in the Middle East.
I urge the President to oppose pre-
condition's to negotiations requiring
Israeli withdrawal from territory held to
avoid repeating the mistakes of 1956
which led to a resumption of hostilities
11 years later.
By United Nations declaration Israel
legally deserves the status and rights of
a sovereign nation and the territorial
integrity which such status entails.

Mr. PURCELL. Mr. Speaker, one of
the finest efforts of the Federal Govern-

States and citizens of countries in Latin
America.

Last year, the Government of Brazil hon-
ored the Partners oY the Alliance which is
a private sector element of the Alliance for
Progress by issuing a Partners of the Alliance
postage stamp. This particular stamp gave
recognition to citizen level participation in
the Alliance for Progress and it was the
stimulus for the establishment of the first
philatelic museum in Brazil. Another signi-
ficant first is attached to this Partners of
the Alliance stamp because Astronauts
Thomas P. Stafford and Eugene Cernan car-
ried a block of the stamps with them in
the historic fight of Gemini IX on June 3,
1966. Those stamps were the first to orbit the
earth. On the occasion of the Second Inter-
American Conference, held in Rio de Jan-
eiro, Brazil, in which over 260 delegates from
15 nations participated, a letter bearing one
of the orbited stamps and the signatures of
Astronauts Stafford and Cernan was pre-
sented to Ambassador Pio Correa, Deputy
Minister of Foreign Affairs in Brazil.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a
bronze medallion which bore a replica of the
stamp on one side and on the reverse bore
the statement honoring the Partners of the
Alliance. Two additional medallions were
specially struck for presentation to Astron-
auts Stafford and Cernan. At this time it is

PRESENTATION OF CERTIFICATE
These gentlemen have done what men have
dreamed about for centuries. They have flown
through space as great explorers of the uni-
verse. Few men have the great skill, the raw
courage, the physical and mental stamina
and the driving motivation which combine
to give them the opportunity to playa pio-

But there are other opportunities and other
pioneering roles which are open to every
American and it is of this that I wish to think
together with you for the next five minutes.
My business is the business of selling op-

tion and private citizen in the three Americas
to play a constructive role 1n the great revo-
lution of development that is called the Al-

The Alliance for Progress is often con-

itself "The Voice of Truth" is broadcasting
daily propaganda tirades into Greece.
"It is an indisputable fact," he repeated,
"that Communists in Greece were receiving
dixect orders daily from the Communist par-
ties in eastern Europe."
Sharing borders with three Communist
states and harboring centuries-old Balkan
suspicions, Greece has been slow to join the
Western teend toward coexistence and rap-
prochement with eastern Europe. Athens'
governments had taken small steps in the
last two years under prodding from Washing-
ton, but this movement has now been halted
bq the new government.
Does Kollias expect Greek Communists at
home and in the neighboring satellite coun-
tries to turn now to guerrilla. tactics and
terrorismP
"It is completely out of the question," he
said. "The army revolution has asserted itself
so effectively throughout the country that
any Communist uprising would be crushed.
"The revolution has gained the highest
Confidence Prom an overwhelming majority
of the people. They know that it has saved
them from political chaos and that it is dedi-
cated to restoring stability so that alt can
prosper."
Kollias appeared at an armed forces dis-
play at Salonika and was greeted by more
than 100,000 persons, Tt was in Salonika that
George Papandreou was to speak on April
23.
Word that Communists planned major
street disorders and a possible grab for local
power touched off the revolution of the
colonels-a startling swift, efficient maneu-
ver based on a NATO contingency plan to deal
with internal subversion.
After more than an hour in the huge,
high-ceilinged office of the old royal palace,
Kollias rose from behind his desk to end the
interview.
"Do not take my word for all this," he
said. "I could be giving you propaganda. Go
out into Athens and into the country, Talk
to the people. They will tell you that this
revolution has saved Greece.
"We have no illusions about the Commu-
nist countries. They attack ua every day. But
it is important, very important, that our
friends and allies understand that we are still
dedicated to NATO, freedom and democ-
racy."
Mr. Speaker, Members should be re-
minded of the fact that the State De-
parment and the administration do not
approve of the new Government in
Greece but are merely maintaining for-
mal but "cool relations," an interesting
contrast to the frantic policy of building
bridges to accommodate the Soviet
STATEMENT ON MIDDLE EAST BY
POLISH GOVERNMENT-IN-EXILE
(Mr. DERWINSKI (at the request of
Mr. BIESTER) was granted permission to
extend his remarks at this point in the
RECORD and to include extraneous
matter.)
Mr. DERWINSKI. Mr. Speaker, the
.president of the Polish Government-in-
exile, August Zeleski, has expressed the
concern of his Cabinet over the Soviet
involvement in the Middle East crisis.
I deem it especially significant that the
Polish Government-in-exile adopted a
very practical statement at the height of
the armed conflict in the Middle East.
I insert the statement in the RECORD at
this point:
STATEMENT OF THE POLISH GOVERNMENT
[IN-EXILE] OF JUNE 6, 1967, ON THE POLISH
NATiON'B ATTITUDE TOWARD THE WAR IN
THE MIDDLE EAST
LONDON.-At a Cabinet meeting on 6th
June 1967 presided over by Prime Minister
Aleksander Zawisza, the Polish Government
[in-exile] drew up the following statement
in respect of the Polish nation's attitude to-
wards the war in the Middle East:
"The Government of the Republic of Po-
land [in-exile] declare that the attitude to-
wards the present armed conflicts in the
Middle East by the so-called "Government
of the Polish People's Republic"-actually
an agenoy of imperialistic Communist Rus-
sia's occupation oP Poland-is contrary to the
sentiments of the Polish nation.
The representatives of the Warsaw re-
gime, in their invariable parrotting of Rus-
sia must also on this occasion support her
attacks on the Israeli nation as also the
imperialistic aim of Egypt--merely one ai
the elements in the totality of Russia's sub-
versive plans. But the Polish nation, with
its keen realization of the wrongs inflicted
upon the weaker nations by the powers that
be in this world, is particularly moved by
this fresh attack on the Israeli nation and
state, an attack song prepared and supported
by Russia.
The Israeli people have during the last few
decades recovered their age-old heritage neg-
lected for the whole centuries past by in-
truders with an alien culture. They have
transformed the land by the effort of mind
and hands, in the sweat of their brow, into
a built-up, developed and prosperous coun-
try which arouses the envy of their neigh-
bours and evokes their chauvinism so skil-
fully directed and exploited by the destroyers
of peace in the world-with Russia as the
ringleader.
We observe and admire the courage of the
Israeli people in the determined and devoted
defence of their country. It inevitably re-
minds us of our own, still so recent fights,
often shoulder to shoulder with representa-
tives of this geople, in the defence of our own
native country-then our common mother-
land.
This brings on the thought and the desire
to reciprocate towards the Israeli nation, to
come to its aid in these difficult times. But
we Poles in exile are at present powerless in
the military sense whilst the Communist re-
gime's authorities of occupation in Poland
stifle every noble reaction of the Palish na-
tion, now deprived of their liberty behind the
Iron Curtain.
May our heartfelt thoughts and moral sup-
port be with you in the heroic efforts of your
patriotic nation and may our voice calling
for justice, also for the Israeli nation and
state, reach the Bowers of this world still
plunged ih their egoism and blind to the
future as they passively regard the organiza-
tion of international crimes. Just as the
Ribbentrop-Molotov conspiracy was aimed
against Poland, so now the Kosygin-Nasser
conspiracy is directed against Israel.
The western powers should remember that,
whilst handing over Poland to imperialistic
Communist Russia was the beginning of their
difficulties with Russia and of groving inter-
national complications, the handing aver of
Israel to the Russo-Egyptian combine could
mark the beginning of their decline and the
undermining of our civilization.
It is sincerely to be hoped that those who
s]umber during the coming storm will awaken
in time."
"SEND ME A BORE ROD AND A PAINT
BRUSH"
(Mr. McCLURE (at the request of Mr.
BIESTER) was granted permission to ex-
tend his remarks at this point in the
RECORD and to include extraneous mat-
ter. )
Mr. M6CLURE. Mr. Speaker, two wor-
ried parents in my district have sent me
a letter they recaived from their son, a
marine in Vietnam. lie wrote them as
follows
Our M-16s aren't worth much. IY there's
dust in them, they wlll jam. Bali of us don't
have cleaning tads to unjam them. Out of 40
rounds I've fired, my rifle jammed about to
times. I pack as many grenades as I can
plus bayonet and K bar (jungle knife) so I'll
brave somebhing to fight with.... If you
can, please send me a bore rod and a 11/4 -inoh
ar so paint brush. I need it for my rifle.
These rifles are getting a lot of guys killed
because they jam so easily.
The parents now ask me: "What can
I do, more than send a bore rod and a
paint brush?"
The Pentagon assures us that the M-
16 is a superior weapon to the M-14
because of its sui$ability to jungle war-
fare. They say that malfunctions are
due to improper cleaning and lack of
maintenance,
Evidently those using the rifles in
Vietnam feel differently.
It is indeed a strange war. We are not
being told the full story.
I think we have a right to know how
effective these weapons really are.
I think we have a right to know if
there is a shortage of cleaning rods.
I think we have a right to know what
effect this is having on morale.
I think we have a right to know if a
significant number of casualties are at-
tributable to faulty equipment,
And then I wish someone would tell
me how I can relieve the minds of the
families of our fighting men when I har-
bor the same doubts as they do.
CONCESSIONS AND OUR POWER
BALANCE
(Mr, McCLURE (at the request of Mr.
BIESTER) was granted permission to ex-
tend his remarks at this point in the
RECORD and to include extraneous mat--
ter. )
Mr. McCLURE. Mr. Speaker, I am very
alarmed at the regularity with which
the Johnson administration allows our
military and scientific superiority over
the Russians to decline. In a world in
which we are totally committed to out-
producing, outmaneuvering, outarming,
and, hopefully, outliving the Soviet sys-
tem, we consistently betray ourselves.
In past weeks, Congress has given.
a good deal of attention to two of the
methods we are using to defeat our-
selves. Many Members of Congress have
noted the economic concessions we offer
the enemy in Vietnam by proposing to
trade with the Communist bloc countries.
We have also heard recently that the
balance of power may indeed be thrown
out of balance by the Soviet anti-
ballistic-missile system. The Secretary
of Defense finds that the only defense is
an adequate offense.
But now I understand, Mr. Speaker,
that this administration intends to offer
still another concession to the enemy,

H 7874 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD -HOUSE
Incredibly, I find that the Atomic Energy
Commission intends to invite the Soviet
Union to use the 200-billion-electron-
voit nuclear accelerator that will be built
at Weston, Ill, Are we to understand that
the Soviet Union's ever-increasing fund
of scientific knowledge will be supple-
mented by the Atomic Energy Commis-
sion?.
Mr. Speaker, the Soviets are pulling
ahead of us in this field. Although the
largest nuclear accelerator in existence
today is the 33-billion-volt machine at
Brookhaven, the Russians will open ex-
perimentation on their own 70 billion-
electran-volt equipment at Serpukhov
next year.
This will give them more than double
our present ability to conduct sophis-
ticated experiments in high energy fields
and matter constitution. Since we would
prefer not to have the Soviets move
ahead of us in this field, we will build a
still larger and more complex .machine
at Weston. With this in mind, I find it
difficult to believe that we now plan to
Invite the Soviet scientists to take ad-
vantage of these facilities.
Although I am assured that our scien-
tists at present cannot foresee any mili-
tary applications which could be devel-
oped from the accelerator, I feel that our
folly is obvious.
If we are to continue to subscribe to
prinoiples which are opposed to those of
the Soviet Union, and if these principles
are to be defended by superiority of
knowledge and balance of power, then
we must immediately stop granting aid
to our enemies.
MORE MEDICAL SCHOOLS NEEDED
(Mr. CARTEL (at the. request of Mr.
BIESTER) was granted permission- to ex-
tend his remarks at this point in the
RECORD and to include extraneous
` matter)
Mr. GAHILT,. Mr. Speaker, on June 1
of this year I called the attention of the
House to the large number of foreign
medical doctors practicing in the United
States and pointed out the need for new
medical schools so that the richest na-
tion in the world could adequately supply
ibs people with needed and qu~2ifled
medical assistance. I am reminded today
as we are asked to authorize an expendi-
tune of $4 billion for the space program
how woefully short we are in appropri-
ating and planning for the future health
of our country. While I realize that dol-
Lars alone cannot build, staff and main-
tain medical schools, I am convinced
that this Congress through its appro-
priate committee must begin immedi-
ately to require necessary planning and
to appropriate necessary funds to pro-
tect future generations of Americans.
Aside from the $4 billion the committee
recommends we authorize today for the
space program, it is estimated that we
are spending 10 times that sum to put
a man on the moan and directing more
billions to explore extraterrestrial space.
Since World War II we have poured un-
;old billions into foreign aid and are to-
~ay spending an estimated $2 billion' per
ifionth to fight a war in Southeast Asia
i~q protect the peoples of that area from
Communist aggression. If we can do all
of this, I find it impossible to believe that
we cannot spend whatever money is
necessary to build and staff necessary
medical schools to produce the additional
physicians required to preserve the
American standards of health. I have
heard it said that the mast difficult thing
today for a young man to do is to gain
admission into a medical school. How
many times have. Iheard-and you, my
colleagues, heard-qualified, ab]e, moti-
vated young men anxious to serve their
fellow man irl medicine complain that in
spite of high grades in college and ability
to pay the cost of medical school train-
ing, they are denied admission because
of lack of space in our medical colleges.
The time is now. Our responsibility is
now, and we must act now. I urge the
appropriate committees of this Congress
to immediately take whatever actfon_is
required in order to commence construc-
tion and staffing of the necessary num-
ber of new medical schools so that the
needs of the 1970's can be anticipated
and the funds started in the 1960's. This
is a vital and necessary need of the
country and demands immediate
attention.
JUNE 24, 1915, THE DAY OF CHI-
CAGO'S WORST DISASTER
tMr. O'HARA of Illinois asked and
was given permission to revise and ex-
tend his remarks at this point in the
RECORD.)
Mr. O'HARA of Illinois. Mr. Speaker,
June 24 of this Year falls on a Saturday.
June 24, 1915, also was a Saturday. It
was one of the darkest Saturdays in the
history of Chicago-that June 24 of 52
years ago,
It wa.s on that day that 812 persons
died in the Chicago River at Clark Street
when the steamer Eastland turned on
its port side in 20 feet of water. It was
the city's worst disaster.
On that day of tragical disaster Gov.
Edward F. Dunne was absent from the
State and I was the acting Governor of
Illinois. ItSy memory is vivid of the hours
I spent helping to carry to conveyances
the lifeless bodies of the victims of that
texrible accident as they were lifted from
the lake, I have never known such a day
of anguish.
Later I served on a board of inquiry
appointed by Mr. Secretary Redfield and
aided in framing recommendations that
were enacted into law by the Congress
and have prevented similar disasters on
the Great Lakes for the more than half
a century intervening.
Mr. Speaker, I am extending by re-
marks to include the following article
from the Chicago 'T'ribune of 3une 19,
1967:
The 2,000 to board the veaset were pick-
nickers, the employes of Western Electric
company, their families and friends, bound
for Michigan City. Those lost were drowned
or suffocated below decks of the excursion
ship, which had a length of 300 feet and a
38-foot beam.
On that morning, the tanks had been
emptied to make the vessel ride higher in the
water with the gangplanks level with the
dock. Rassengers streamed aboard, and the
Eastland began to list, first to port, then to
June ~~, 1967
starboard. :Che cr.~ew began pumping water
into the tanks.
However, before: they were full, passengers
began to gather on the port side and the
water in they untc;~ped tanks sloshed to port
also and this cau:.:ed the ship to turn on its
side.
Tugboats and other small craft in the vi-
cinity raced to trio rescue, picking swimmers
from the river whiQe other persons scrambled
aboard the :Eiastla ixd and cut hales in her
exposed side and p ixlled survivors thru them.
Rescue work co:tinued all thru the day
and night. But the s was not the end of the
Eastland. The vessel was righted and refloated
by salvage crews s;nd towed to a northern
Indiana port until a group of Chicago busi-
ness men, headed i;q the late utilities mag-
nate, San7ue] Instill, purchased her, 'The
group believed the United States might be-
come involved in ';Vorld War I and would
have use for the shins:
When the .United States did enter the war,
the Eastland was s.,Fld to the navy for lust
what Insuil aaid'hi: `colleagues had paid for
her. She was renarr~.ed the U,S.S. Wilmette
and the intention w.is to send her to the east
coast. A section of hi+r bow had to be removed
because she was too ong for the locks then in
use in the St. Lawrex:ice river. Once in eastern
waters, the bow sect.. an would be replaced.
The war ended, hc. wever, before this could
be done so the ves:.el was reunited in the
Great Lakes. It was. ixsed as a navy training
ship in the pertod b~,tween wars and during
World War II.
At the close of the :,econd war, there was no
further naval use for the Eastland-Wilmette.
She was old-built in -1903-and was destined
for the scrap heap, That was her end in 1946.
CRIME IN TH.I~ STREE'T'S OF
AME .ELICA
Mr. SPEAKI~R, under previous order
of the House, the @entieman from New
York CMr. HaI.eERx~ is recognized for 10
minutes.
Mr, HALP'ERN. M> ~. Speaker, fear rules
the streets of Amerk -an cities, as assault,
robbery, rape, and >lunder continue to
run rampant. Nien, v; omen, and children
are not safe from t~augs and hoodlums
in the. streets, in thi ~ parks, in the sub-
ways, even in their o wn homes.
It is an incautious girl or woman who
dares to walk home alone late at night,
or even to drive a ca r in dark, deserted
streets. Men look of i;r their shoulders
and avoid the shad:''~ws. Almost every
door bears both a chiu.in and a lock, and
is rarely opened witl.out trepidation.
I cannot accept this as a way of life
in the cities of our Nahton. There must be
a way to stop the proavling hood, and to
make our cities safe for their people
again. I am convincedt. that such a way
can be found by the Congress, and we
must waste na m.ore time in setting out
to find it.
A ioint resolution ialtroduced fn this
House by the disting,lished gentleman
from Florida CMr. Pl PPERI proposes a
broad, deep, and deteA mined investiga-
tion which can lead thi9 way toward the
solution of this, one of ,;fur most pressing
and depressing urban l,~roblems.
In offering this proh~osal, the gentle-
man from Florida CMr, :PEPPERI has once
more demonstrated his s egislative leader-
ship and his dedication to the welfare
of all the people oi' AmE,rica. I feel privi-
ledged today to in trodu~~,e a similar res-
olution for the san.~e pus pose.

SITUATION IN GREECE
(Mr. DERWINSKI tat the request of
Mr. BIESTER) was granted permission to

Approved For Release 2004/05/25 :CIA-RDP69B00369R000200300010-0
CONGRESSIONAL .RECORD-HOUSE June ~2~2, Y967
Mr. DERWINSKI. Mr. Speaker, com-
pletely obscured by the developments in
the Middle East is the situation Sn
Greece where necessary changes were
made in the government to prevent
anarchy and a possible Communist take-
over. As a continuation of my remarks
T ask leave to insert at this point an in-
terview reported by Mr. Ray McHugh,
Washington manager of the Copley News
Service, based on his recent conference
with the new Prime Minister of Greece,
Constantine Kollias.
ATHENS.-"This Government has no ambi-
tion to carry on the burdens of office. Since
the day it took office its fundamental aim
has been to return Greece to parliamentary
government as soon as possible."
Prime Minister Constantine Kollias spoke
slowly with emphasis, obviously anxious that
the interpreter relay the full meaning.
A short man with a little moustache and
dark-rimmed spectacles, he seemed uncom-
fortable, almost out of place behind the huge
desk in the red-carpeted room. A pudgy
figure in a dark blue suit and a thickly
knotted gray and black tie, Kollias looked
like a man who would rather be doing other
things than running the Greek Government.
But Kollias also looks like a man who is
determined to see a job through.
"I have already told the American ambas-
sador that even if Greece is left to Stand
alone in its struggle for freedom and democ-
racy, it will continue that struggle," he said
in an exciusiveinterview,
Nettled by foreign press criticism of the
military regime he heads and ooncerned
about the "review" of .American aid pro-
grams to Greece, Kollias said Greece needs
no reminders or lectures about the basic
values of democratic government,
"The history of this land is soaked with
the blood of its citizens," he said.
"We do not have to prove that Greeks
know haw to fight for freedom and de-
mocracy."
His voice had a tart quality.
"The government has set as its aim the
reconstruction of the political and economic
ruins left by the corrupt policies of political
parties who ignored the national interest
for strictly partisan goals and spent the
national treasure in a selfish bid for votes."
Once this reconstruction job is finished,
Kollias said, his regime, placed in -power
April 21 in a bloodless coup by army colo-
nels, will step from the scene.
He said a committee of 20 specialists has
been drawn from a cross section of the Greek
society to revise the national constitution.
It has been instructed to report within six
The plot, said the Prime Minister, was or-
ganized in conjunction with Greek Commu-
nist exiles and the Communist governments
of Eastern Europe, principally Yugoslavia,
Bulgaria and Romania.
"It is an indisputable fact, that the Union
of the Democratic Left (EDA) leftist party
in Greece was headed by five exiled Greek
Communists who are in an eastern country,"
said the Premier. "The EDA took direct or-
ders daily from the Communist Parties in
Eastern Europe."
The Prime Minister mentioned no names,
but he said same Greek political leaders in re-
cent months openly adopted extremist EDA
slogans and accepted Communist support in
a bid for victory in elections that had been
scheduled Yor May 28.
This was an obvious reference to George
Papandreou, former Premier and head of the
Center Union Party, and his son, Andreas,
former University of California professor and
the most controversial Rgure in Greek
politics.
Greece has moved from one political crisis
to another since 1964 when the elder Papand-
reou was named Premier, then resigned in
a clash with King Constantine over efforts to
establish political controls in the military.
Kollias declined to comment on the activi-
ties of the younger Papandreou. He pointed
out that the man has been indicted on
charges of high treason and he said it would
not be proper for him to discuss the case in
view of his jurist background. He did say,
however, that the "Aspida" group in
the Greek army-with which the younger
Papandreou .was allegedly allied--sought to
overthrow the monarchy, seize power and
take Greece out ai NATO into a neutralist
phase that could easily have been a prelude
to communism.
Other Greek officials dismiss fears voiced in
the United States that young Papandreou
mtght be executed. Greek law does not pro-
vide the death penalty on the charges he
Yaces, said one high official.
"Besides," he added, "We have no intention
of creating any martyrs. This has been a
bloodless revolution and we have given our
pledge to King Constantine that it will con-
tinue to be bloodless."
Kollias indicated that he does not beleive
that most Greek political figures who ac-
cepted Communist help were themselves
Communists.
"Thep thought they would use the Com-
munists and their methods and slogans to
gain power," he said. "Then they thought
they could deal with the Communists. But
the Communists had other plans."
In the early days of April, the prime min-
ister said, there was increased infiltration
of Communist guerrillas iota Greece from
"When the draft is completed," he said,
"the government will review it and then sub-
mit it to the people far approval at a ref-
erendum.
"If approved, the government will then
select the proper time for election of a new
parliament,"
Kollias declined to set a time limit for h!s
army-installed regime, but the head of the
Greek Supreme Court emphasized several
times during the interview that "The gov-
ernment has decided this should come as
soon as possible:'
From the United States, he said, Greece
"Expects not only material but moral sup-
port."
Though disappointed by Washington's re-
view of military aid to Greece-an implied
disapproval of the power grab-the prime
minister said Greece will proceed to ask
more help from the United States.
Washington, he indicated, has not yet re-
alized that the colonels saved Greece from
political chaos and Swell-organized Com-
munist plot to seize control of the country
and take it out Of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization.
this was accompanied by the reactivation of
Greek Communists who had been released
from prisott by previous governments, or had
been allowed to return from exile.
"We also have evidence that large num-
bers of Communist guerrilla fighters were
brought to the Greek-Bulgarian and Greek-
Yugoslav borders in early April:' said Kollias.
"They were concentrated particularly in the
Skopjie region of Yugoslavia."
These forces, he said, were made up largely
of Greek Communists who fled to eastern
Europe after defeat in the 1947-49 civil war.
They also were believed to include some in-
doctrinated Greek-born youths who had been
kidnaped by the Reds during the civil war
and raised in Communist countries.
"We do not know the exact size of these
forces; ' Kollias said. "We know there were
several thousand. Same estimates speak of
tens of thousands."
The headquarters of the Greek Commu-
nists in exile has been in Poland, Czeehoslo-
vakia, Yugoslavia and Romania at various
times, he said. It is now believed to be in
Bucharest where a radio station that calls
