I% 5 incuti ¿V î W ç H by N o rm a je a n Who is to blame for stirring up the mess President John son finds himself in, due to «he argument between two of H . Johnson’s favorite people, J. Edgar Hoover, FBI director, and Dr. Ftertm Luther King Jr., the Nobel prize winner’ Ft. Hoover says Dr. King started it when he said the FBI is drag ging its’ feet in the investiga tions in the southern states and finds nothing wrong when Negroes are deprived of their rights, because, he says, so many of its* personnel are southerners. 14. Hoover says the civil rights leader is a notorious liar when he makes such statements. And he didn’t soften it up by saying there is no basis for truth in such statenents, or that King must be mistaken; no sir! He used the word “ liar” . The negro leader disputes this and puts it up to the President to get rid of the "tired old man” who has “ outlived his usefulness” . So now the President IS wondering what to do; and it re a ly puts him in somewhat of a spoil He has said he wants the able Director of the FBI to remain on the 10b after he readies retire ment age shortly, but Now [> . King wants him thrown out. There could be political implications . Ur. King is leader of some six million votes, some wonder how many J. Eigar Hoover has, Somehow, I’m betting on Hoover.

NATIONAL BOY SCOUT WEEK Central Point is unique in that it has about the most active Cub Scout group in Jackson County but no regular Boy Scout troop. Many people are work ing hard to give the Cubs the fundamentals of their scouting. Will this work go for nought? One church group in Central Point is interested in sponsoring a troop. The stumbling block is that capable lead er ship has not been available - - at least there have been no volunteers. There must be a number of form er Boy Scouts in the community who undoubt edly are Interested in scouting. We realize that time is valuable to all, but if we can find four or five men who would be willing to donate a fraction of their time and efforts, the load might be spread so as not to work a hardship on anyone. This is a very Important civic enterprise that should not go by the wayside. The Times will give its fullest cooperation in every way open to us tp aid the form ation of a scout troop. Any man who is interested in being a scoutm aster or assistant, please inquire at the Times office or call 664-3600.
