Landon Criticizes JFK For News Management
BARTLESVILLE, Okla.—(UPI)—Former Kansas Gov Alf M. Landon in a wide-ranging speech today struck at President Kennedy's news management policies and called for a national debate on "Cuban progress."
Landon made his remarks before a Washington County Bar Association meeting here.
The 1936 presidential candidate said the administration's policy of "not only managing but suppressing news and threatening our military security" is one reason for uneasiness in the nation.
"For adequate and proper press coverage," the 76-year-old Landon said, "we must rely on reporters who wear out their shoe leather instead of being satisfied with administration news handouts."
TURNING TO another subject Landon said, "Just as there are new weapons, new mass communication, new standards of living, maybe new worlds, we have a new kind of alliance—an alliance not for the perpetuation of a family on a throne, or for power, or for gold or trade.
"The alliances of the Western world—NATO, OAS and SEATO—are all based on the common bond of preservation and defense of democratic processes for all mankind against tyranny," he added.
The one-time Republican standard bearer continued, "it is up to all Americans to show the world that we are going to stick to our policy regarding the imperialism of tyranny.
"OUR POLICY for 45 years has been to defend democratic processes in Europe at all cost against tyranny. And that we will stick to.
"We have followed a similar policy in the Far East for over a decade. And that we will stick to.
"Can we do less for the Western Hemisphere — in Cuba — 90 miles from our own coastline," asked Landon.
"As I see it," Landon observed "the administration is continuing its policy of last November of quarantining Castro.
"THIS IS A realistic policy if it isolates the threat of Communism in the Western Hemisphere. There is no easy answer in determining the steps that will have to be taken one by one in solving the Cuban question. That is why we need a national debate on its progress," he added.
The former governor said West.
ern world alliances are "a connecting web that binds together the free world in the strength, characteristics and ideals of the democratic process."
"But however dedicated a people are to their country's interest in that alliance, emergencies cannot be met successfully against a dominant dictator without a center of decision on diplomatic and military tactics," Landon added.
HE CONTINUED, "By reason of our economic and military power, that place of decision has been forced on the president. . . There is a time for discussion and consultation but there is a time for instant decision — without talking things over."
Though the speech was entitled "International Politics," Landon devoted some time to a discussion of the possible affects of President Kennedy's tax cut-planned deficit budget.
"That's the way it will be for some time to come, providing there is clear direction and clear leadership." Landon predicted.
Landon charged that the theory of "spending your way out of debt" was first advanced by the English Lord Keynes and was "sold" to Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal.
"It did not work here and has not been adopted by any other country," Landon noted.
Vodka Bottle Breaks Traffic Stall Window
Unknown vandals tossed an empty vodka bottle through a window of the traffic control station at Memorial Drive and Sunflower Road between 1:30 and 2 a.m. today.
Vandals have broken control booth windows at least a half-dozen times before, according to Joe Skillman, chief of campus police.
Skillman said police were unable to obtain fingerprints from the bottle.
JFK Still Wants Reforms. Cuts
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The White House is trying hard to dispel any notion that President Kennedy has abandoned his wish for revenue-raising reforms to accompany tax reductions.
With assistance from Democratic congressional leaders, the administration is seeking to tone down the effect of Kennedy's own words in this regard Monday.
A BIG ASPECT of this effort is to placate irritation reportedly felt by Chairman Wilbur Mills, D-Akk., of the House Ways & Means Committee. Mills, a potent force on tax matters, advocated reforms if taxes are to be reduced.
Problems arose Monday when Kennedy spoke at a symposium of the American Bankers Association. The President urged support of his program for a net tax reduction of some $10 billion over three years, including some $3 billion in revenue boosting reforms.
A QUESTIONER asked, in effect, if opposition from various quarters to the proposed reforms might not result in rejection of Kennedy's anti-recession tax program.
Kennedy emphasized that he wanted his reductions-and-reforms package enacted by Congress.
"If we cannot get the reform, then quite obviously you are going to have to rewrite the package," Kennedy said. He stressed that if the rate structure were changed through such rewriting tt still should provide at least a $10 billion tax cut — with or without reforms.
"WHATEVER IS necessary to get that bill. I would support," Kennedy said.
This led to news stories and headlines ranging from reports of Kennedy being willing to abandon the reforms as a last resort, to his even urging Congress to do so.

Seniors to Decide On Gift to School
The Senior Class of 1963 has a problem.
It has some $1,000-$1,500 to spend on another gift to the University, but class members are undecided as to the exact selection.
The first gift of $3,000 was given to the Endowment Association for the Senior Loan Fund.
Four possible gifts have been suggested by the Senior Gift Committee.
One suggestion is the purchase of trophy cases for Allen Field House. There are many undisplayed trophies in the Field House, because there are not enough cases to show them. Such trophy cases cost about $1,000 each.
Lobster War Continues
Adm. Pedro Suzano, Brazilian naval minister, said last night the navy intercepted French radio messages which indicated the aircraft carrier Clemenceau, the Cruiser de Grasse and the destroyer Cassard were "halfway between France and Brazil."
A third gift suggestion is a fountain court for Murphy Hall. Plans are now on the drawing board for a fountain court between the wings of Murphy Hall. However, funds are still short for this project, and more money is needed before actual building can begin.
France denied the ships were en route to Brazil.
Another gift idea in the athletic field would be improvements such as field markings for Quigley Field. The present dugouts for the field were given by a former senior class.
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil—(UPI) —The Brazilian navy stood ready today to repel four French warships believed headed for the const of Brazil in the "Lobster War" between the two countries.
The Senior Gift Committee has also suggested the possibility of purchasing a coffee service for the Museum of Art. This idea arose from discussion with Marilyn Stokstad, associate professor of Art History
THE FRENCH DESTROYER Tartu was sighted 90 miles off the Brazilian coast by an air force reconnaissance plane earlier yesterday, according to Brazil's presidential press secretary.
The French navy ministry officially denied the Brazilian reports. A ministry spokesman said "no French warships are on their way to the coast of South America and it is not planned to dispatch any ships in that direction in the near future.
THE SPOKESMAN SAID the only French warship in the area of the Brazilian coast is the frigate Paul Goffeny, sent there earlier this week to relieve the Tartu in protecting six French lobster boats.

and director of the Museum of Art.
One of the museum's functions is to host exhibit openings and various receptions — activities for which it finds itself ill-equipped. Miss Stokstad would like to acquire an antique silver coffee service for this purpose, but funds are not available through regular channels.
A gift such as this would be functional as well as a display and study piece.
Ballots with these above suggestions have been sent to each senior. They are to vote on the gift ideas and return the ballots by March 8.
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe has offered to allow Miss Stokstad to go to England during spring vacation to pick the service out personally.
Gen. Walker Starts 5-Week Crusade
Traveling with the 30-year army veteran was Billy James Hargis, head of the Conservative Christian Crusade. Speaking before Walker, Hargis attacked the National Council of Churches and defended the House Unamerican Activities Committee.
MIAMI — (UPI) — Former Maj. Gen, Edwin A. Walker opened "Operation Midnight Ride," a five-week, 17-state speaking tour, last night with a verbal barrage against the United Nations.
Walker, who ran unsuccessfully for governor of Texas following his removal from command on charges including attempts to influence the votes of his troops, said the U.N. was "pleased" at the use of federal troops in the University of Mississippi integration crisis last fall.
"Whether the U.N. sent them (the troops) there or not, I cannot say, but it pleased the U.N. for them to be there," said Walker, who was arrested during the rioting on the Mississippi campus. Federal charges against him were later dropped.
