ideals of personal freedom which -motivates
the United States and her people. There is
also a variety of explanatory literature avail-
able for further study.

EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. STEVEN B. DEROUNIAN
OF NEW YORK
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Wednesday, May 29, 1963
Mr. DEROUNIAN. Mr. Speaker, the
President is such an expert when he
writes about courage, but he does not dis-
play it when he faces the Communist
tyrant. The following report of the
farewell meeting between Castro and
Khrushchev, in the May 23 issue of the
Washington Evening Star, is most re-
vealing.
The Communists are arrogant and
have every reason to be. President Ken-
nedy_ is. on the defensive and acts it. Is
this the way the Commander in Chief of
the most powerful military force in the
world should behave?
The report follows:
READY To RESIST ANY ATTEMPT To INVADE
CUBA-DEPARTING CASTRO HEARS PROMISE
OF STRONG BACKING
Moscow, May 23.-Premier Khrushchev,
addressing a huge farewell meeting for Fidel
Castro, warned today that the situation in
the Caribbean carries possibilities of be-
coming worse than last October.
In a speech of more than an hour, the
Soviet Premier, in shirt sleeves and bare-
headed in a broiling sun, declared:
"If the U.S. Government does not show
necessary commonsense and understanding
of the situation and permits itself to be
drawn into a dangerous path, a situation
even more formidable than that of last Oc-
tober might arise in the world.
"If such a, situation is created by the
aggressive forces of imperialism, clearly it
would be much more difficult to emerge from
the crisis than it was in 1962."
Later, at a Kremlin reception for the
bearded Cuban, Mr. Khrushchev appeared to
be in a more peaceful mood when he said he
will not capitulate to "delirious talk" about
going to war to promote communism. His
statement seemed aimed at the Chinese.
PLEDGES DEFENSE
Stopping only occasionally for small bursts
of applause, while the Cuban Prime Minister
looked on at the outdoor mass meeting, Mr.
Khrushchev said:
"A breach of obligations assumed by the
United States would not be regarded other-
wise than perfidy. This would radically
undermine trust and make coming to terms
more difficult."
He pledged that the Soviet Union would
defend Cuba If the United States should at-
tack that island of communism.
Responding, Mr. Castro thanked the So-
viet people for their cordial hospitality dur-
ing his visit.
"An avalanche of love fell upon us," he
declared.
He was unable to begin speaking for sev-
eral moments after he stood up because of
the roaring applause.
SEES CAPITALISM DEAD
"The Cuban revolution has again borne
out the -Marxist-Leninist teaching that in
the modern world the balance of forces is
in favor of the Socialist (Communist) camp,"
Mr. Castro declared.
"Cuba has buried the old capitalist so-
ciety forever as a corpse which will never
come to life again.."
The victory of the revolution in Cuba,
which he said lies only 90 miles from the
biggest center of imperialism, also proved
another Marxist-Leninist principle: That the
imperialists themselves inevitably dig a grave
for themselves, he added.
Later, Tags announced that the Govern-
ment had conferred upon Mr. Castro the title
of Hero of the Soviet Union, the Order of
Lenin and the Gold Star Medal. The decree
says the hero title was granted to Mr. Castro
"for his. outstanding services in organizing
the triumphant struggle for freedom and in-
dependence of the heroic Cuban people, for
a worthy contribution to the great cause of
peace and socialism."
In pledging again to come to the aid of
Cuba, Mr. Khrushchev said:
"If the U.S. Government does not strictly
observe the agreement that has been reached
and aggravates the situation, we shall have to
discharge our international duty, our obliga-
tions to the fraternal Cuban people and come
to their assistance."
DON'T PLAY WITH FIRE
"We must say with all seriousness: Do
not play with fire gentlemen, and do not
play with the destinies of the people."
He proposed that the situation in the
Caribbean could be "normalized" on the
basis of principles put forward by Mr. Castro,
including American surrender of Guantan-
amo Naval Base.
He did not clearly outline what he felt
made the situation now possibly more dan-
gerous than last October, when President
Kennedy declared a blockade of Cuba to
force the Soviet leader to pull nuclear rockets
off the island.
Mr. Khrushchev recalled that the United
States, during settlement of the Cuban crisis,
had promised not to invade Cuba.
He maintained It was the policy of the
United States which nearly brought the
world to the "brink of thermonuclear war"
last October.

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - APPENDIX A3199
Catholic men and women of Irish extrac-
tion have filled and do fill public posts of
great importance efficiently and faithfully.
The first Irishman to hold the office of mayor
of New York was William R. Grace. elected
in 1880, and today, 83 years later, the mayor
of New York. Robert F. Wagner, lays claim
to Irish ancestry through his late mother.
And that is the pattern throughout the
country. There are at present in the Sen-
ate of the United States, Catholic men of
Irish extraction representing their States
and in the House of Representatives there
are a large number of men and some women.
Catholic and of Irish blood representing
their congressional districts in a most com-
mendable manner.
We have now and have had down through
the years many outstanding men of Irish
blood serving as Governors of our great
States. In my judgment the most Illustrious
of them was the late Alfred E. Smith, whose
record as Governor of the State of New York
will live forever in our State and throughout
our country. It can be said without fear of
contradiction that he was responsible for the
enactment Into law of more beneficial legis-
lation than any other Governor of any State
in the entire country, and laws now on the
statute books of New York State have set a
pattern which has been followed in numer-
ous other States throughout the Nation.
It is Indeed remarkable that shortly after
the great migration President Franklin
Pierce, a Democrat, appointed as his Post-
master General, James Campbell of Pennsyl-
vania, an Irish Catholic and the first to be
named to a President's Cabinet. Since then
other Catholics of Irish extraction have
served in Presidents' Cabinets, and they have
served as members of the Supreme Court of
the United States and in various judicial
posts throughout the country.
The election of John Fitzgerald Kennedy,
whose forebears were born in Ireland, as the
35th President of the United States-the
first Catholic President-was a great tribute
to the intelligence and tolerance of millions
of non-Catholics in our country. We can be
proud of him. He is a man of fine Intellect,
great integrity, and courage that is bound-
less. His problems from the day he took
office have greatly exceeded the norm. No
President in American history has borne
greater burdens than he is bearing at this
moment. Diplomatic disasters of first mag-
nitude confront us on every side. Pressure
of the enemy and doubts among our allies,
the groans of the enslaved nations and
peoples, and the whimpers of the appeasers
assail the President from every angle. The
press indicates almost daily the creation of
one crisis after another. But, it can be truly
stated, that In-the American tradition, if the
crisis is great the crisis Will produce the
man, and I feel that no man in our history
is better qualified to make decisions than
President Kennedy. He knows the horrors
of war because he has suffered them. But
he also knows that freedom is priceless be-
cause he offered his own life to save it. It
is my conviction that he will meet the chal-
lenge on every side and that he will give the
leadership we must have in these crucial
days. I sincerely believe that historians of
another day will cite this Catholic American
President of Irish ancestry as one of our
greatest Chief Executives.
I do not want to conclude my remarks this
morning without paying a tribute to the
priests and the religious for the position the
Catholic Church In America holds today.
Since the formation of the Republic, nearly
187 years ago, most of the priests were of
Irish blood, and they were followed by hun-
dreds of others down through the years, who
with the members of religious orders help-
ing them, built our churches, our schools,
our colleges, our universities, hospitals and
other institutions. We shall never be able
to repay them for not only their spiritual
leadership, but for their great contribution
through accomplishment to the American
way of life. I am sure that everyone present
this morning, Is fully cognizant of their
tireless efforts. There are in this room,
members of families whose relatives pre-
ceded them to this country who were part of
that great contingent of priests and re-
ligious-to whom I sincerely pay tribute.
And, let us all ever be proud of and grateful
for the contribution of the Irish to the-
church, education and government in the
United States.
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. HERMAN TOLL
OF PENNSYLVANIA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Wednesday, May 29, 1963
Mr. TOLL. Mr. Speaker, I believe the
Members will read with interest the re-
marks of Harry D. Shargel, Esq., and
the program of the dedication cere-
monies In connection with the third law
observance- exhibit, "Law Enforcement
Serves the Community," which took
place under the sponsorship of the Phil-
adelphia Chapter of the Federal Bar As-
sociation on May 27. 1963: t
LAW OBSERVANCE EXHIBIT
(By Harry D. Shargel)
The Federal Bar Association (Philadelphia
chapter) through Its law observance com-
mittee Is engaged in a year-round program
to promote respect for law and those who
enforce It.
Our activities are designed to educate the
public In the functions Of the Federal. State,
and local law enforcement agencies; to urge
the public to respect and uphold the law;
and to improve the morale of law enforce-
ment personnel, broaden their training, en-
hance the prestige of law enforcement as
a career. and help attract the highest caliber
of personnel to this field. We have pro-
moted coordination among law enforcement
agencies, prosecuting attorneys, the judi-
ciary, penologists, and welfare organizations.
As part of our endeavors we have caused
posters to be displayed bearing the slogan,
"The Law Protects You. Respect It. Uphold
It. Obey It," published a directory of law
enforcement agencies; sponsored television
programs designed to educate the public
concerning the fine work of law enforce-
ment agencies; organized coordination con-
ferences among those concerned with crime
and delinquency; arranged the distribution
to teachers, parents, and students of rele-
vant literature; established a speakers bu-
reau which furnishes speakers In further-
ance of our program; arranged for the es-
tablishment of a degree course In pollee
science and administration at Temple Uni-
versity and organized exhibits. We are cur-
rently sponsoring a weekly radio program
on station WIBG of Interviews of persons
connected with the law enforcement process,
a series of spot messages urging respect for
law by outstanding citizens on radio station
WIBG and a similar series on WRCV-TV.
We are also sponsoring a youth accomplish-
ment program designed to direct youthful
drives into constructive channels, provide a
sense of accomplishment and appropriate
recognition to young people regardless of
their relative capabilities. We have already
had dramatic evidence of the Importance of
this youth program.
Today, under the theme, "Law Enforce-
ment Serves the Community," we inaugurate
our third law observance exhibit to be held
at the Philadelphia National Bank. We hope
that this exhibit will help us all to realize
the important part our law enforcement
personnel play In making our American way
of life possible. All of us should become
familiar with the fine work of each law en-
forcement agency and realize that the law
enforcement agent, whether a local police-
man. State official, or Federal agent, is a
friend dedicated to public service and the
protection of each of us.
We In Philadelphia can take special pride
in the fact that the work of the Phila-
delphia chapter law observance committee
Is serving as a model for Federal Bar Asso-
ciation Chapters around the country. As a
matter of fact, as a result of the Inspiration
afforded by past exhibits in this bank, a
national exhibit will be opened In the RCA
Exhibit Hall in Radio City, N.Y., on June 17,
1983.
We are especially thankful to the Phila-
delphia National Bank for making this ex-
hibit possible.

TRANSLATED FOR CASTRO
Mr. Khrushchev's charges were made in
a long, prepared speech which he read
through his steel-rimmed spectacles. An
interpreter whispered a translation into the
ear of Mr. Castro, who wore his customary
green fatigue uniform and beret.
Mr. Khrushchev also claimed it is the im-
perialists themselves who are creating revo-
lutions in Latin America-but the "mythical
hand of Moscow." The imperialists, he said,
are exploiting the people and thus causing
them to demand something better.
Mr. Khrushchev approvingly quoted those
phrases from the American Declaration of
Independence which say that people have
the right to choose a government of their
liking. These words, he said, have a very
current ring 200 years later.
He hailed Mr. Castro as "Dear comrade."
HUGE CROWD ON HAND
More than 125,000 persons jammed the
stadium to cheer the two leaders. Overhead,
planes trailed Soviet and. Cuban flags.
Swarms of Russians wore paper hats bearing
Cuban emblems.
Mr. Castro, who arrived in late April, has
had one of the greatest welcomes the Soviet
Union has ever given a foreigner during his
stay here.
Today's crowd gave Mr. Khrushchev a
roaring reception.
The Soviet Premier accused American
monopolists of exploiting Cuba until they
were thrown out by the Castro revolution.
But, he added, the revolution and seizure of
the property of the landlords is the easiest
part. The harder part, he said, is to "rid
the people of bourgeois tendencies and con-
struct socialism."
"The peoples of the Soviet Union have al-
ways been, are, and will be with the people
of Cuba.
"The Cuban revolution marks the dawn
of a new life on the American continent.
The eyes, of millions in Latin America are
now turned to heroic Cuba because it is on
that island that a road to a better, happy
life is being blazed."
SEEKS CHINA ACCORD
Mr. Khrushchev also declared the Soviet
Union would make every effort to make
ideological peace with China. He mentioned
China by name.
"We will spare no efforts to unite our
forces and remove differences between us,"
the Premier said.
He scoffed at what he described as West-
ern efforts to develop a split within the Com-
munist camp.
He said he looked to Chinese-Soviet nego-
tiations to slay old myths.
"Not a few fabrications appear in the bour-
geois press concerning the relations between
the Communist Parties of the Soviet Union
and China," he said, "As you know, a meet-
ing of delegations of the Communist Party
of the Soviet Union and the Communist
Party of China will be held shortly. We
shall do everything to have this meeting lead
to the rallying of our forces, eliminating the
differences in our understanding of certain
questions."
PREDICTS RED TRIUMPH
"We express the hope that this meeting
will bring our parties, the entire interna-
tional Communist and working class move-
ment, even closer together. The great cause
of communism will overcome all obstacles
in its onward advance and will triumph
throughout the world."
Planes flew overhead and big balloons sur-
rounded the stadium for one of the biggest
rallies ever staged in the Soviet capital for
a visiting foreign leader.
Vladimir Promyslov, Mayor Of. Moscow,
presided at the ceremony from a big stand
mounted on the football field.
Mr. Promyslov said Cuba had chosen the
slogan "Homeland or Death" for its slogan,
and added: "This slogan will win:'
"You cannot bring to their knees the
courageous Cuban people," he cried.

1963 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD -APPENDIX A3455
It is submitted for your information
without comment.
From the Wall Street Journal, May 24,
1963]
REALISM GROWS IN BROOKLYN
If a group of employers get together to
eliminate all competition, they're soon in
a lot of hot water with Washington. It's a
bit different with unions, which are able to
control the supply of labor to many em-
ployers.
A recent example is the big. Brooklyn local
of the. International Longshoremen's Asso-
ciation. The union has been worried about
unemployment on the borough's docks-in
other words, "excessive" competition for jobs.
But Anthony Scotto, head of the local, now
thinks he has the solution.
First off, he has pushed through new rules
which will, by and large, keep non-Brooklyn
longshoremen out of Brooklyn. And since
a card in the Brooklyn local is a prerequisite
for work, he has tightened up on his own
membership. "These changes," declares
Mr. Scotto, "are an approach to realism.
Years ago, a man accepted for membership
faced periodic unemployment * * * We
think we have eliminated this risk. In
effect, we have closed the books on new
members."
Tough on prospective new members, of
course, and hardly in line with official lip-
service to competition in general. But for
purposes of running a monopoly, it's realis-
tic all right.
Persistent Threat So Long as
w Frontier Philosophy Remains
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
of
HON. WILLIAM C. CRAMER
OF FLORIDA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Wednesday, May 29, 1963
Mr. CRAMER, Mr. Speaker, the
formidable Soviet military strength in
Cuba can no longer be hidden from the
American people and the New Frontier's
cries of "politics" as an answer to its
critics no longer holds water with the
release of the bipartisan Stennis com-
mittee report.
What is most alarming about the
Stennis committee report is the "philo-
sophical judgment" of the New Frontier's
advisers which was 100-percent wrong
about Russia's intentions both before,
during, and after the Cuban crisis of last
October. It clearly evidences what many
of us have been saying all along-that
the Kennedy administration does not
understand the Communist menace, its
devious ways, its double talking, and
does not know how to cope with it, even
when confronted with credible informa-
tion of a monumental doublecross.
In line with the Stennis committee re-
port and recognizing the presistent So-
viet threat in this hemisphere, I am in-
serting in the RECORD at his point an
article which appeared-in the May 26,
1963, issue of the Miami Herald:
VIEWS ON THE NEWS
Last week, I stated here that Soviet mili-
tary strength in Cuba "is still very formid-
able."
Mentioned were 42 high performance jet
fighters, heavy and medium tanks, antitank
guns, field artillery pieces, rocket launch-
ers and a minimum of 17,500 military per-
sonnel. -
But, at the President's news conference on
Wednesday last, this colloquy took place:
Question: Mr. President, there's still a lot
of. discussion in the Congress-Senator
LAUSCHE among others-on the increasing
buildup militarily of Cuba. Is there any-
thing ou can say that would be in any way
encouraging about the removal of Russian
troops, or of the military situation in Cuba?
Answer: We do not have any evidence of
increasing military build-up by the Soviet
Union. I think at previous press conferences
I've given an answer to the question of how
many Russians were there, and the comment
in regard to the withdrawal of Soviet troops.
There has not been a satisfactory withdrawal
as yet. But we have no evidence that there
is a number coming in larger than going
out.
Question: Pardon me, sir, I was thinking
more in terms of military equipment going
into Cuba.
Answer: Yes, I understand that.. We have
no evidence that there is an increasing mili-
tary build-up in Cuba. The intelligence
community has not found that.
THEY LOST BECAUSE
In the preceding dialogue, the important
words to remember are: "The intelligence
community has not found that."
This is the same "intelligence community"
which last summer mistook Soviet troops for
"civilian technicians," and estimated Soivet
"personnel" in Cuba at 5,000.
This is the same "intelligence community"
which, notwithstanding human-source re-
ports, could not Identify the presence in Cuba
of Russian-organized ground combat forces
until October 25 although some of them had
been there since last July.
The preparedness investigating subcom-
mittee of the Senate exonerates the "intelli-
gence community" of the charge that a gap
existed in our photographic reconnaissance
over -Cuba from September 5 to October 14.
But the committee does say "the deficiency
in the performance of the intelligence com-
munity appears to have been in the evalua-
tion and assessment of the accumulated
data. Moreover, there seems to have been a
disinclination on the part of the intelligence
community to accept and believe the omi-
nous portent of the information which had
been gathered.
"In addition," says the committee, "the
Intelligence people Invariably adopted the
most optimistic estimate possible with re-
spect to the information available. This is
In sharp contrast to the customary military
practice of emphasizing the worst situation
which might have been established by the
accumulation of evidence."
PHILOSOPHICAL?
The Senate subcommittee, on testimony
taken from top officials of the CIA and the
Pentagon, makes the startling statement
that intelligence community analysts "were
strongly influenced by their philosophical
judgment that it would be contrary to So-
viet policy to introduce strategic missiles in-
to Cuba."
The committee says further that the intel-
ligence - chiefs acknowledge that they were
misled and deceived. The intelligence peo-
ple now say that all strategic missiles and
offensive-weapon systems have been removed.
The committee cannot reach a conclusion
on this because "of lack of conclusive evi-
dence."
Actually, it will never be known how
many weapons are hidden in Cuba without
on-site inspection, an early Kennedy ob-
jective now forgotten.
So when the President tells the Nation
that our intelligence community "has found
no evidence of a military buildup in Cuba,"
we can well ask on the basis of the past rec-
ord, "How reliable is the information?"
AND NONPARTISAN
I believe the Senate subcommittee, with
Senator JOHN STENNIS as chairman, has per-
formed an invaluable service for the country
by revealing that-as in the days before
Castro-our intelligence evaluations are too
often influenced by the philosophical lean-
ings of the evaluators.
It Is significant, too, that the full report
was unanimously approved by Chairman
STENNIS and the full subcommittee, consist-
ing of Democratic Senators STUART SYMING-
TON, of Missouri; HENRY M. JACKSON, of
Washington; and STROM THURMOND, of So, ith
Carolina; and Republican Senators LEVERETT
SALTONSTALL, of Massachusetts; MARGARET
CHASE SMITH, of Maine, and BARRY GOLD-
WATER, of Arizona.
Time for Freeman To Resign
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
or
HON. GEORGE MEADER
OF MICHIGAN
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Wednesday, May 29, 1963
Mr. MEADER. Mr. Speaker, under
leave to extend my remarks, I include the
following editorial from the Jackson
(Mich.) Citizen Patriot of May 23, 1963:
TIME FOR FREEMAN To RESIGN
Rejection by the Nation's wheat farmers
of mandatory controls over their 1964 crop
was more or less expected by experienced ob-
servers. However, the margin of the defeat
in the referendum held Tuesday was aston-
ishing, even to the most dedicated opponents
of the marketing quota system.
All of which means that Secretary of Agri-
culture Orville Freeman and President Ken-
nedy, who went all out to sell the program,
have been slapped down, but hard, by the
Nation's wheat farmers.
So severe was the defeat and'the blow to
Secretary Freeman's prestige that his resig-
nation is in order. Certainly he does not
have the confidence of the farm families of
America. His position is untenable.
However, we really don't expect Mr. Free-
man to resign. He Isn't that kind. He won't
give up gracefully. A man who can make
himself appear as ridiculous as he did in the
campaign preceding the election is the kind
who will stay on even after he has been
repudiated. -
And Mr. Kennedy defended him in his
Wednesday press conference.
So much for that. The big question is,
What happens now? Will Congress write a
wheat program more acceptable to the Na-
tion's farmers, or will the administration
make good on its promise to force the farm-
ers to live with their decision - under the
present law?
Either way It goes things are going to be
tough on the Nation's wheat farms, at least
for a time. The price support level will
drop drastically and those who choose to
plant above the allotments granted them by
the Government will have to take their
chances in the open market. - -
But all these things the farmers knew be-
fore they trooped to the polls Tuesday to
reject the marketing quotas. Then why did
they do it? Why did they take the chance?
The answer seems to be that the farmers
are fed up with interference in their busi-
ness and honestly believe they had better
take a chance on getting new legislation, or
competing in a free market.

They saw the marketing quotas (which
limit the amount of grain the farmer can
grow and sell) as opening the door to even
more Interference In their business. Noth-
ing Secretary Freeman said served to dispel
that fear.
Make no mistake about it, the wheat situa-
tion Is serious. With millions of bushels of
the grain In Government hands, there is no
easy way out. If all stored wheat, plus what
the farmer can produce, should be dumped
on the open market, the grain would go for
about 10 cents a bushel. If that much.
Yet. under years of mandatory production
control programs, the problem has gone from
bad to worse.
It Is significant, perhaps, that the farm
commodities which are doing the beat In
production and in the marketplace, are those
which have been freed from controls or in
which Uncle Sam never has been a partner
of the producer. It Is when the Government
moves in that trouble develops.
It Is doubtful, at this point, whether wheat
farmers can operate In a free market. But It
also is obvious that the producers have told
the Government, In the only way that counts,
that they want to move toward greater free-
dom their operations, even at the risk of
lower prices.
And certainly the wheat-producing system
needs a good shaking out. The farmers in
the vast Wheat Belt, who can operate most
efficiently, find their allotments cut down
and down. Even producers of specialty
wheats, such as those in Michigan, sometimes
find themselves in trouble. It seems Impos-
sible to write a control program which is
flexible enough to meet all the needs.
In any event, the farmers have spoken and
have told Mr. Freeman and Mr. Kennedy they
want less, not more, control of their opera-
tions. They showed a brilliant spark of
independence.
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
or
HON. JIM WRIGHT
or TEIAS
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Wednesday, May 29, 1963
Mr. WRIGHT. Mr. Speaker, in the
day-to-day rush of our duties, seldom do
we in the Congress have occasion to take
note of the quiet, dedicated work being
carried on by our civil defense officials.
Though their numbers are few, these
men and women constitute a devoted
and conscientious group of public ser-
vants. Their work seldom hits the head-
lines, but they daily do battle with pub-
lic apathy in an effort to build our pre-
paredness against a day we pray will
never come.
The work of these people was brought
home to me a few weeks ago when I was
privileged to take part in a ceremony
marking a fallout shelter in the Fort
Worth National Bank Building.
It was the first fallout shelter official-
ly marked in Office of Civil Defense Re-
gion 5, which is under the direction of
William C. Parker In Denton, Tex.
Since that time I have been informed
that Noble Shepherd and the staff of
the Fort Worth civil defense office have
carried out a 3-day shelter stocking pro-
gram called "Operation Big Lift." A to-
tal of 478,194 pounds of survival items
for 47,084 shelter spaces were placed in
33 Fort Worth buildings licensed as pub-
lic fallout shelters.
Forty-one truck lines, coordinated by
the Fort Worth chapter of the NDTA,
donated an estimated $10,000 In equip-
ment and personnel to handle the move-
ment. In addition. 89 volunteers assisted
in the loading and unloading operations
at the depot and shelter points through-
out the city.
To Mr. Parker, Mr. Shepherd and the
staff and volunteers devoting themselves
to these efforts, I would like to extend
my personal thanks and congratula-
tions.
The Tortoise Is Winning
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
HON. EARL WILSON
OF INDIANA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Wednesday, May 29, 1963
Mr. WILSON of Indiana. Mr. Speak-
er, I am certain all of you recall the
childhood story about the race between
the tortoise and the hare. As the story
goes, the tortoise won the race by sheer
determination and persistence. My fight
for the concept of true competitive bid-
ding in military procurement reminds me
of that story, for my "persistent" efforts
are-bearing fruit.
One giant step forward In this long
"race" toward the goal to achieve more
competition in the manufacture of de-
fense equipment occurred today when
the Army canceled a proposed no-com-
petition purchase of 240 test sets used
to check operation of a gyromagnetic
compass. The action came after my
charge in my speech on the House floor
yesterday that a false certification of
"no drawings available" for the produc-
tion of the equipment was being used to
shut out competition and channel a con-
tract to a past producer.
These charges were substantiated in a
matter of hours yesterday after I con-
ferred with Brigadier General Stanwix-
Hay, Chief of the Army's, Electronics
Materiel Command in Philadelphia, on
the telephone. General Stanwix-Hay
checked into the matter immediately,
found that I was right and took direct
action by ordering the procurement for
the AN/ASM 61 test set-for which $220
was paid the last time a no-competition
purchase was arranged-"'pulled off the
street" immediately and requesting a full
and unbiased Investigation by the Army's
Inspector General of the obviously false
certification. Further, he assured me
that the procurement will be carried out
under full competitive conditions when
it Is reissued soon, and he warmly
thanked me for bringing the case to
light.
I wish I could get the same coopera-
tion from other officials when I pinpoint
waste and worse in defense purchasing
elsewhere. I congratulate General
Stanwix-Hay, but at the same time, I
would suggest the civil or military serv-
ant who set up the false certification
should be disciplined severely. If this
case had gone undetected, the contract
would have gone to a favored producer
at an unchallenged price. Now, I pre-
dict a bid considerably below $22il per
unit will result when the 240 test sse~ts
are bought competitively. I must takt-_
sharp issue with a system which allows
such obvious flouting of purchasing reg-
ulations and the law. There is some-
thing wrong when a U.S. Congressman
must Investigate and turn up the facts
that hide behind redtape and fine print.
To briefly relate the story as it hap-
pened, upon learning of the false certi-
fication by the Army, I scrutinized the
Army's own files and private business
sources to prove that the test set had
been purchased twice before from Wins-
low Electronics. Asbury Park, N.J., as a
part of a June 1961 contract, and the
Government paid $1,000 for and received
a complete set of manufacturing draw-
ings for the equipment. Further, this
equipment is almost exactly the same as
an earlier test set called the TS-1086.
Made as a commercial "off the shelf"
Item as early as 1958 by Sorenson &
Co., Stamford, Conn., this set, too, was
accompanied by complete drawings.
Hence, the Army has drawings for both
sets.
I hope the Inspector General turns up
some bodies In his investigation. Such
people should be severely disciplined as
an example to others. Once we see a
few middle-grade paper shuillers pay for
their mistakes and worse, we will see a
real clean-up come about in procure-
ment. The- comparatively few b' d ap-
ples In the procurement barrel make all
the rest look bad.
A week ago. I lauded two Navy officers
for stopping a procurement under simi-
lar conditions. The Navy swept the case
under the rug. Americans should thank
General Stanwix-Hay for his action
which will save tax dollars and improve
procurement efficiency while exposing
those who misuse their positions of trust
and authority. Those who rig purchases
either through inefficiency or by design
should not escape punishment while
those who bring the facts to light and
cause corrections to be made are being
praised.

MICHIGAN IN NUCLEAR AGE
Dedication of Consumers Power Co.'s Big
Rock Point nuclear power plant in northern
Michigan came appropriately during Michi-
gan week, for it points to another field in
which this State has been a leader.
The high power density nuclear reactor
plant, on the shore of Lake Michigan between
Charlevoix and Petoskey, is Michigan's first
nuclear electric powerplant to go into opera-
tion. Only four other large-scale nuclear
electric powerplants have been completed in
the United States..
James H. Campbell, president of Consum-
ers, told newsmen gathered for the dedication
this week that Michigan was the only State
in the Union to have two nuclear power-
plants ready for operation. The other, of

Mr. CRAMER. Mr. Speaker, unlike
the ostrich-like New Frontier which is
merely hoping and waiting for the day
Castro's communism will wither away, I
am of the opinion that regardless of the
cost and difficulty involved, Russia will
continue to nourish its stepchild in this
hemisphere and Castroism will continue
to spread unless the United States takes
firm 191adership of a meaningful program
to implement the Monroe Doctrine.
My position has become further sub-
stantiated with the recent visit to Mos-
cow by Castro where he was officially pro-
claimed a hero of the Soviet Union and
where he received even further pledges
of

the Soviet fingers?
Nothing that's known to the American
public. Our ships continue the seemingly
interminable job of delivering the $63 mil-
lion payoff in medicines and other supplies
with which the Kennedy administration ran-
somed the Bay of Pigs captives. (Castro, in-
cidentally, sells these drugs to his people at
50 to 200 percent above the American retail
price) .
President Kennedy periodically expresses
concern over the continuing presence of
Russian troops in Cuba and he, or some
administration spokesman, periodically de-

But nothing is done. No government-in-
exile is established, to serve as a legal agency
for waging a campaign against Castro. No
aid, apparently, is being sent to the brave
Cultibans who fight in the underground. No
ultimatum is given Khrushchev on pulling
out the troops he apparently has privately
promised to withdraw-sometime.
Fidel Castro is, indeed, a hero of the Soviet
Union. But he's not self-made. He was
made in America, by policies of blunder,
timidity and complacency. And those pol-
icies, unhappily for the Nation, do not seem
to change.

1963 CONGRESSIONAL
farm family has been completely changed
and the process of change is still only in the
initial phase.
There were many trying times In the orga-
nizing of the REA cooperative and many ex-
periments were tried to prove to the people
how electricity could become a necessity 1n-
stead of a luxury. For example. In 1923, 10
farmhouses were equipped with practically
every electric appliance then existing. Elec-
tricity was installed in the farmers' barns.
chickenhouses, and milk sheds. Electric
motors were installed for dehydrating bay.
An electric saw for cutting wood replaced the
two-man handsaw, An electric pump
brought running water into the houses.
Separate meters recorded the amount of
electricity used by these devices. And at
the same time the farmer kept a careful
check of his operating costs. As the ex-
periment progressed, electric bills rose
sharply. But at the same time the indi-
vidual farmer found operating costs de-
creasing. Electricity was saving months of
labor each year and thus the farmer was
able to use his energy profitably at other
jobs. Quite apart from these statistics, It
was abundantly clear that life on the ex-
perimental farms was happier and healthier.
The whole level of farm living had been
raised by abolishing some of the back-
breaking tasks of farm life.
The people at the top have been the first
to say that the success of REA is in large
measure due to the devotion and zeal that
run through the rank and file. Lawyers,
engineers, and cooperative organizers have
worked long and hard through the years to
make REA a success. They have taken the
cooperative system off the drawing boards,
translating the plants into reality and bring-
ing the benefits of electricity to millions of
people. Many of the ideas and philosophies
within REA have been violent. These were
arguments not on the goal to be reached,
but on how to reach the goal.
Along with the whole far-reaching pro
grams of subsidies, parity prices, and soil
conservation, electricity now has come to
the farm. It has come in typically Ameri-
can fashion, through a working relationship
between Government, farm leaders, coopera-
tives, and commercial business. Sometimes
private enterprise has cooperated willingly
tCnd sometimes reluctantly. But whatever
the attitude, It is nevertheless clearly seen
that the power load of the private utilities
and the profits of private utilities have been
greatly increased by the transformation
worked on the farm. Private enterprise has
built the refrigerator, the dairy equipment,
the lighting systems, the beating systems,
the food freezers, the toasters, and washing
machines that are found on farms across
the land; and this is to say nothing of the
generators and other facilities necessary to
produce the increased power for distribu-
tion to America's farm families.
There were never truer words uttered
when you say, "live better electrically."
THE VALUE OF RURAL ELECTRIFICATION IN OUR
HOME AND COMMUNITY
(By William A. Carter, 17, junior at Palisade
High School, Palisade. Nebr.; father: Joe
Carter)
"Let there be light."
This was God's own command in the be-
ginning. Since then It has echoed and re-
echoed down the halls of time, picking up
new meaning and importance with each re-
verberbtion until finally man can look back
at the development of light and In Its Images
see his own progress.
Man's existence in his early days on this
planet was not a pleasant one. It was racked
by fear, doubt and superatitution, the height
of which was reached each day when the
sun went down and left him alone In the
dark. The next step in his progress came
with his accidental discovery of fire. Per-
haps it was a bolt of lightning or the Lava
from a volcano that revealed this secret to
man, but at any rate he now controlled light
for the first time. With It he could see at
night and cook his food. As time passed and
man experimented with fire, he used it to
cure bides, form weapons, sterilize wounds.
and to use it to many ways to improve his life
on earth.
It was not until after the Renaissance (16th
century) that the first form of electricity
was noted, namely static electricity. Then
man discovered that lightning was a form
of static electricity and saw the, tremendous
potential energy in it. Following years of
experimentation and theorizing, electricity
was harnessed and the reins were In man's
hands. A mountain of applied uses ap-
peared for this mysterious "white coal."
Among them were the light bulb and electric
motor. These two inventions alone rejuve-
nated lifer In the cities, that is.
While urban people were enjoying lighted
streets and household appliances powered
by electric energy, the inhabitants of the
rural sections of America now no change In
their standard of living. Did not anyone
care about the rural population whose task It
was to teed the entire Nation? Were they
to advance no further than their ancestors
before them whiletown dwellers lived in com-
parative luxury and ease?
There were men who eared. In Washing-
ton, D.C. Sam Rayburn and Senator GsoRGE
NORRrs realized that the effect of electricity
on the farm would be widespread and bene-
ficial not only to the farmers whose lot it
would Improve but the entire Nation as well.
The work that they put Into passing the bill
for rural electricity was finally rewarded on
May 11, 1935, when the Rural Electrification
Administration was created by a Presidential
order. The long sought dream was a reality.
The farms of the Nation were going to re-
ceive electricity.
"Let there be light."
The Southwest Public Power District was
created In 1945. In addition to energizing
and modernizing the farmsteads and bring-
Ing comfort and convenience heretofore un-
known to rural dwellers Of this area, over
150 deep wells have poked their noses into
our vast supply of underground water and
brought up enough liquid to irrigate between
9 and 10 thousand acres of some of the best
land in the Nation. The results of this
change in our community are far reaching
and not confined solely to this district or its
residents.
The demand for the goods a farm produces
will rise in a few years directly following the
steady rise In world population. It is ap-
parent that soon much more food will be
needed. The farmer will need all the helpers
he can get to meet an ever-increasing de-
mand. The REA will supply their helpers
(over 400 are available) cheaply, quickly, and
willingly for the farmer to use to meet the
Increasing demands for his products.
There Is light, and it is good.
PUBLIC POWER IN NEBRASKA
(By Roald E. Psota, 17, North Loup, Nebr.,
senior at Ord High School; father: Edward
Psota)
The year is 1893. A scorching south wind
Is turning the Nebraska prairie and corn-
fields It dull, dead brown. Bits of dust,
debris, and dry corn leaves fill the air.
Money is a scarce commodity.
It Isn't a pretty eight, but these condi-
ditions are to give birth to an idea--that of
public power In Nebraska. Idea of vision
knew that Nebraska had, to have Irriga-
tion to stabilise the State's economy. A
period of plenty when the rains came and
then nothing When they didn't was not
enough.
These men of vision were also realists-
they realized that a source of revenue, other
A3147'_
than that received from irrigation, was neces-
sary to compensate for the huge invest-
ment on dams, equipment, and land. That
source was to be electrical power-public
power for Nebraska.
Dynamic men, like Senator George W. Nor-
ris, Charles W. McConaughy, and the Kings-
ley brothers, worked with both Govern-
ment and private investors to secure the
needed capital. Their pleas were turned
down, but their dreams and ideas were to
live on.
The stage was set. The need was at hand
when drought and depression swept the Na-
tion in the 1930's. The people were inter-
ested; the plans and studies had been made.
The last ingredient, money, was soon to be
offered.
During the 1930's, public power and ir-
rigation districts were formed and with the
help of U.S. Senator George W. Norris, ap-
plications for grants and loans were sent
to the Public Works Administration. Soon,
dams and canals were being built on and
near the Platte and Loup Rivers. The dream
was becoming a reality.
More millions were given by the PWA for
the development of REA districts. Over
60,000 miles of line were built'. Nebraska was
fast becoming. an electrified State.
However, even with Government help the
districts had many problems. Private elec-
tric companies, apathy and fast maturing
bonds stood In the district's way. Almost all
of the districts were deeply in debt the first
5 years.
Yet, by 1945 the Nebraska Public Power
Districts had progressed immensely, and they
were able to buy the last privately owned
electric company. Nebraska became the first
and only State served by an electric power
system owned and operated by Its own citi-
zens.
It is hard to estimate the benefits that
Nebraska has received after 20 years of pub-
lic power. The work and money brought into
the State during the depression years greatly
benefited the economy. The districts also
took an interest in the farmer. Now, REA
lines can be seen everywhere. Nebraska's
power rates are among the lowest in the
Nation.
Many of-the benefits of public power can-
not even be evaluated. The districts provide
irrigation that has stabilized the economy
and attracted industry. Boating, fishing,
swimming, picnicking, hunting, and camping
are carried out on the artificial lakes and
their grounds.
As for the future, It will be written In In-
creased expansion, better service and merg-
ers. Nebraskans will feel the Impact of pub-
lic power even more.
Problems will have to be worked out, but
the districts have met and overcome many
before. The future looks bright, and Ne-
braska and public power will share in it.
T z VALUE OF RURAL ELECTRIFICATION IN OUR
HOME AND COMMUNITY
(By Pat Hageman, 16, Ogallala, Nebr., junior
at Brule High School; father: Lester Hage-
man)
Anyone living on a farm knows that it is
not an easy life. There is always plenty of
hard work for everyone.
We live In a community of fine farmers.
They are a challenge to us to try to keep
making our farm better, and to try to live
up to our heritage. This cannot be done
by pushing electric buttons, but the things
that electricity has brought makes it much
easier.
Besides each of us having specific summer
jobs, our family works together on one big
project, yard beautification. We maintain
an acre of bluegrass, a small orchard, a
vegetable and flower garden, and many trees
and shrubs. An electric submergible pump
makes this possible.

analysis of the proposal to aid the Bokaro
Steel Mill in India. The article follows:
BOKARO STEEL MILL: POLITICAL SYMBOL
(By Selig S. Harrison)
NEW DELHI.---On a visit-to Moscow in late
January 1961 I spent a morning at the In-
stitute of Oriental Studies on Kirov Street in
a guarded but rewarding exchange with two
ranking Soviet specialists on India and
Pakistan. It was not surprising to find a
sophisticated and Intimate knowledge of U.S.
foreign aid policy on the part of academician
A. M. Dyakov and his younger colleague, V. V.
Balabushevich.
What Induced the Soviet functionaries to
submit to 3 hours of searching cross-exami-
nation was their frankly expressed' desire to
know whether the new Kennedy administra-
tion could be counted on to continue the
agriculture-oriented aid policy of the Eisen-
hower years. The comfortable assumption of
Soviet aid planners has been that the United
States would confine itself primarily to good
works In the villages' and would steer clear
of aid to heavy industry. Professor Dyakov
explained with a proprietary air that the
United States would not change its spots
under Kennedy because aid to heavy industry
means in most developing countries aid to
state corporations. This is our territory,
he said in effect, and a government in search
of industrial power must turn as a matter of
course to the U.S.S.R.
There are two principal reasons why the
Indian Government has given unequivocal
priority to hopes for an American-aided Bo-
karo steel mill and has held off Soviet feelers
throughout the initial 2 years of the Kennedy
administration. The first is the acknowl-
edged sup6riority of the United States in the
technology associated with the flat rolled
steel products. Beyond this lies a fear of
one-sided dependence for machinery and
expertise in the politically strategic area of
steel. As the process of decision in the
United States has been prolonged and as
Bokaro has seemed in danger of becoming a
political football in Congress, the atmosphere
surrounding Bokaro has nevertheless begun
to undergo a subtle change and this has been
sensed by the Russians. The Soviet Ambas-
sador stepped In briskly and uninvited this
week with a formal Bokaro offer in writing.
The United States Steel Corp. team ap-,
pointed by the Agency for International De-
velopment to survey the technical problems
in building Bokaro has contended that the
plant cannot reach its full projected capacity
of 4 million tons per year until 1977.' This
is regarded as an unnecessarily relaxed time-
table by Indian steelmen who argue that 1971
is a realistic target in the light of experience
in the three already constructed mills. An
additional point of controversy in the con-
tinuing exchanges on Bokaro between New
Delhi and Washington is the question of the
extent of American management control.
India has agreed to set up a separate gov-
ernment corporation independent of the ex-
isting Hindustan Steel Limited to provide a
bureaucratic clean slate and this Is viewed

from the rural electric systems.

educational television, is being used. ETV
got its start in Nebraska about 10 years ago

the day, electricity works for this family;
silently, cheaply. At night, there is hot

This Is the modern rural America. This is
life in the same homes which a few years ago
were filled with darkness and drudgery.
That was before rural people joined together
to form their own electric distribution sys-
tems, borrowed funds from REA, and built
their own powerlines.

THE VALUE OF RURAL ELECTRIFICATION IN HOME AND COMMUNITY
With the swish of a pen the farmer was
reborn to a better way of life. One that was
unknown until May 11, 1935, when Franklin
Delano Roosevelt put his pen to Executive
Order 7037. This was a well-deserved climax
to a long drawn out struggle for recognition
to light, the world of the forgotten man-
the farmer.
With low-cost, accessible electricity the
American farmer has become a person equal
In prestige to cityfolks with equal oppor-
tunities to survive. For before rural electri-
fication not many boys remained on the farm
or ranch. What was there to look forward
to-beside solitary darkness? One couldn't
read, write,. listen to the radio, or even get
all the day's work done-such as ironing.
Rural electrification gives the farmer a
chance to take pride in his home and place
of business. With the use of electricity he
finds his work more convenient-for ex-
ample: A cattleman may now use a feed-
wagon to feed his cattle for he has yard
lights set up and is able to steer accurately
through .a narrow gate which otherwise, in
the darkness, is impassi; a dairyman takes
considerably less time to milk-he just hooks
up and lets electricity make life easier.
