MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25. 1962 " The U.S. has declared a blockade of Cuba. Communist ships and, presumably neutral ships are plowing westward in the Atlantic. A U.S. fleet is plow ing eastward through the At lantic. It has orders to stop nd'or turn back ships carry ing offensive arms to Cuba. Our defense officials in Washington say the blockade line will be extremely flex ible. The plan is to spot ships by plane as soon as there is reason to suspect that they are heading for Cuba. If track ing indicates that Cuba is their destination, they will be intercepted at sea. First, they will be required to submit to search. THE ORDER to stop will of course be transmitted by radio. If a ship refuses to stop, a shot will be fired across its bow. If it still fails to stop, our ships will be free to SINK IT if they can. Presumably, they can if they try. WHAT will happen when the ships meet? : We'll have to wait and see. What will happen is on the knees of the gods. WE HAVE declared a block ade of Cuba. What is a blockade? .. In recent centuries, a block ade has had to be established by FORCES ON THE SPOT. J'Paper" blockades have not been respected. In other words, we can't just say THERE IS A BLOCKADE and expect foreign ships to turn ground and go home. ; We must be ready to SHOOT if the challenged ship jfails to stop. ' HOW ABOUT air cargoes? Well, it is questionable. The Russians weren't able to STOP US from supplying Ber lin by air when they "block Bded" Berlin. Our supply planes went through and the Russians didn't shoot. ARE THERE efforts to med iate the crisis? Well, the situation has been placed before the Security Council of United Nations. There are 11 members of the Security Council. It will 'lake seven votes to CENSURE Russia. Whether the seven votes can be mustered re mains to be seen. BUT What the Security Coun cil does isn't TOO important. -WHATEVER it does, Russia .will veto it. It will take seven .votes to OVERRIDE the Rus sian veto. It seems improbable that seven votes to override can be mustered. Record Peacetime Appropriations Measures Signed . Washington -dpi)- President Kennedy today signed the last two money bills passed .by the 87th Congress, com pleting enactment of a record peacetime total of $102,262, 154,659 in appropriations. The measures were among 11 signed into law by the president. This cleared h i s desk of legislation approved by the Congress before it left the capital. The other measures includ .ed legislation cutting taxes .immediately for all persons .over 65 who have big retire ment incomes. Total funds voted by Con gress to operate the govern ment this year has been ex ceeded only twice before both times during World War II. Subject of Wrangles . The measures signed today . provided $5,487,029,500 for the Agriculture Department and $5,069,134,000 for public works projects and the Atom ic Energy Commission. Both were the subject of bitter wrangles in the hectic last days of Congress. The public works bill in cluded $1,077,526,800 for the Army Corps of Engineers, $394,203,600 for the Bureau of Reclamation, and $400 mil lion for acceleration of all types of public works under Kennedy's standby antireces sion program. The tax relief, in effect, boosts to about $6.0011 the amounri of retirement income a couple over 65 can receive without paying income taxes. For couples who receive all their retirement income from stock dividends, the tax cut off point will be $7,000 a year.
