WASHINGTON (UPI) Presi- dent Kennedy sought national sup port today for a racial Golden Rule to put out "fires of frustra tion and discord" among Negroes by guaranteeing them full equali ty irom iuncn counter to polling place. Warning that there .is "a rising tide of discontent that threatens the public safety." Kennedy de clared in a radio-television ad- areas mesaay mgnt Mat "we face... a moral crisis as a coun try and as a people." "it cannot be met by repres sive police action, he said. "It cannot be left to increased dem onstrations in the streets. It can not be quieted by token moves or talk, it is a time to act in the Congress, in your state and local legislative body and, above all, in an ot our daily lives. To carry out his aims, Ken nedy said he will send to Congress next week legislation which for the first time in this century would commit this country to the idea that "race has no place in American life or American law." In a near-paraphrase of the Bib lical Golden Rule, the Chief Ex ecutive said: "Every American ought to have the right to be treated as he would wish to be treated, as one would wish his children to be treated." Kennedy spoke from his White House office shortly after he had federalized the Alabama National Guard to enforce integration of the stale university. There were these immediate results: Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield and other admin istration backers accepted Ken nedy's legislative challenge. Southerner! in Congress reject ed it.

Box 580, Roseburg, was being held in .Mercy Hospital in Roseburg to day where he is being treated for injuries sustained when a tractor tipped on him Tuesday morning. He was admitted to the hospital at 11 : a.m. Tuesday. King Jr. called Kennedy's ad dress "a hallmark in the annals of American history. . .one of the most eloquent, profound and un equivocal pleas for justice and the freedom of all men ever made by a president." Roy Wilkins, executive secre tary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), said Kennedy should have gone farther but had given "forthright support to and encouraged those Americans who want to eliminate racial discrim ination." Filibuster Likely Southern senators are- expected to filibuster against Kennedy's civil rights legislation. Whether the legislation can overcome such an attack depends on how much support it gets from Republicans, most of whom were reluctant to commit themselves until they see the bills. For Kennedy, it was a dramat ic summation in public of the many pressures that have built up since race riots In Birming ham, Ala., kindled a burgeoning Negro drive for "freedom" now, not later. "My fellow Americans, this is a problem which faces us all in every city of the North as well as the South," Kennedy said in an unwritten finale to his carefully prepared text. Kennedy appealed to Ameri cans "to move ahead and to pro vide the kind of equality of treat ment which we would want our selves." Cannot B Ignorad "Now the lime has come for this nation to fulfill its prom ises," Kennedy declared. "The events in Birmingham 8nd else where have so increased the cries for equality that no city or state or legislative body can prudently choose to ignore them. "The fires of frustration and discord are burning in every city. North and South, where legal remedies are not at hand. Re dress is sought in the streets, in demonstrations, parades and pro tests which create tensions and threaten violence and threaten lives. . . . i "The fact that we face a great change is at hand, and our task, our obligation, is to make that revolution, that change, peaceful and constructive for all."

Military Leaders Have Doubts Over New Ban On Nuclear Tests WASHINGTON (UPI) V. S. military leaders have misgivings about President Kennedy's quali fied new ban on testing nuclear weapons in the atmosphere. Some believe America should be de veloping a lOO-megaton bomb such as the Russians claim to have. Armed forces chiefs were de scribed today as believing nation al security requires continued test ing of a variety of nuclear de vices under present world con ditions. A 100-megaton bomb, advocated by some military men, would have more political and psychological than purely military significance. America's present 25 megaton bombs are more than adequate militarily. But it U argued Amer ica can iil afford not to have a weapon ot such torce as the Rus sians claim to have. To bring home this argument, the specter is raised of Russia someday putting a 100 -megaton bomb ia orbit about the earth. America could not do that today, but WOtild h shift In with Iha Titan III space booster now un- uer Development. Kennedy has said Russian missiles could not yet carry such heavy warhead. Military leaders' views seemed likely to get an early airing in Congress, where the President's newly announced policy received a mixed reaction from cautious Democratic support to Republican Sen. Barry Goldwater's claim he made a "dreadful mistake." vjtN Ex- I .... . , MsV, tV' "".7"' 4 - -":-t FIRST TO ANNOUNCE Animated circus animals performing jt the qoromond of the first entry officially announced for the Douglas County Rodeo parade in North Rose- Myrtle Creek Council Sets Budget Hearing The Myrtle Creek City Council Tuesday night set July 9 as the date of a hearing on the 1963-64 city budget.
