Good Grief, Charlie Brown!
Italian Reds Pick on Peanuts
Rome-WPIMtaiian Communists, apparently with nothing better to do during
the summer doldrums, took issue today with the American comic strip "Peanuts."
According to the Communist Party newspaper Unita, Lucy is simply a fascist.
Other characters have tendencies ranging from a suicide complex to simple
stupidity.
Here is what Unita had to say about the different characters in "Peanuts"
in an article Sunday:
-Lucy "When you have turned to the last page, you hate her. She is a fasc st,
Patty, however, like Violet, is simply stupid."
-Linus: "He has a suicide complex. He saves himself by carrying around
a blanket which substitutes for the motherly bosom."
-Schroeder: "He is taken with music and plays Bach, getting angry when
Lucy asks him what he will win if he is able to memorize all the sonatas of
Beethoven."
-Snoopy: "He is a nervous wreck. He varies between his own life as a
dog and the aspiration to become another beast or man."
-Charlie Brown: "He is the only one who is precariously balanced betwean
mental health and a nervous breakdown. . . . faced with the strangeness of his
friends he is overwhelmed or exclaims his alarming 'good grief.' "

Alabama Governor
Calls for Defeat
Of Civil Rights
Washington -flIPD-. Alabama
Gov. George C. Wallace told
Congress today that President
Kennedy should be "retired
from public life" and his civil
rights program defeated.
He said the legislation is
totally unacceptable to the
South and called for a nation
al referendum on the propos
als. If a referendum was held,
Wallace said the civil rights
bill would be overwhelming
ly rejected.
The fiery Southern Demo
crat, testifying before the
Senate Commerce Committee,
accused Kennedy of making
his White House office a "vir
tual switchboard" of com
munication with the Rev.
Martin Luther King and other
Negro leaders who were in
volved in the Birmingham
racial demonstrations.
Wallace joined Mississippi
Gov. Ross Barnett in accusing
King of having "pro-Communist
friends and associates."
He urged the committee to in-
vestgate the matter, which he
noted now had been raised by
"at least two governors." Bar
nett testified similarly before
Slippage Damages
Irrigation Canal
Extensive damage to the
main canal of the Eagle Point
Irrigation district was dis
covered about mid-afternoon
Saturday, which necessitated
turning off the water, accord
ing to Lawrence R. Silveira,
district manager.
The canal is expected to be
in full service by late Tues
day, Silveira said.
The break, in the upper
reach of the canal near Butte
Falls, is about 350 feet in
length. It was discovered
shortly after it occurred be
tween 3 and 4 p.m. Saturday
by C. J. Kelley, foreman.
Water was turned off before
extensive damage could be
done to surrounding property.
Sixteen men plus heavy
equipment are making neces
sary repairs, Silveira said. The
break was caused by slippage
due to geological conditions
in the area.
The manager explained that
present plans call for the sec
tion in the area of the break
to be concrete lined following
the end of the irrigation sea
son about mid-September. The
section to be lined will be be-
twen 400 and 500 feet long.

Chairman Warren Magnu
son, (D-Wash.) told Wallace
such an investigation was a
task for other committees
which have been active in in
quiries about Communist ac
tivity. Wallace rolled out charge
after charge against the Ken
nedy administration.
"A president who sponsors
legislation such as the civil
rights act of 1963 should be
retired from public life," Wal
lace said. "And this goes for
any governor or public of
ficial who has joined in- this
mad scramble for the minority-bloc
vote."
Wallace sad that the Presi
dent and his brother, Atty.
Gen. Robert F. Kennedy, "by
design and political motiva
tion are sponsoring and foster
ing a complete and all-inclu
sive change in our whole con
cept of government and so
ciety a revolution of govern
ment against the people.
Sen. A. S. (Mike) Monroney
(D-Okla.) said a charge by
Wallace that the President
was abetting racial violence
by his public statements is
'hard to believe" because the
President had appealed for
law and order. But Wallace
insisted that the Birmingham
situation was "inflamed all
over again" because, he said,
Kennedy told a nationwide
television audience Birming
ham Negroes had been
"abused" for a lone time.

Mundt Calls for
Tighter Economic
Boycott on Cuba
Washington-(UPH-Sen. Karl
E. Mundt (R-S.D.) called on
the Kennedy administration
today to tighten what he term
ed its "half-hearted" economic
boycott of Cuba.
Mundt recommended a four
part program of action "far
short of war" which would
deny U.S. ports to ships of
any country letting its vessels
trade with Cuba and would
use the foreign aid program
to reward nations joining in
an anti-Castro effort. ' .
He also proposed that the
Organization of American
States and NATO be asked of
ficially to halt trade with Cu
ba and that similar requests
go to every other nation out
side Communist domination.
Trips Incraata
Mundt, in the latest in a
series of Republican Senate
speeches on Cuba, said that
the number of trips by free
world ships to Cuba had in
creased since January and
that the "volume of Soviet-
bloc shipping to Cuba seems
to be rising.
He conceded that there was
"virtually complete embar
go on U.S.-Cuba trade" in ef
fect since February 1962, and
that most Latin American
countries were sharply cur
tailng their own Cuban trade.
Provision Not Enforcad
But Mundt said a provision
of the Foreign Aid act de
nying assistance to countries
whose ships carry arms or
strategic materials to Cuba
was not being enforced as to
NATO-type aid to NATO
countries. Thus, he said, the
aid restricton is "virtually
inapplicable."
The other present restric
tion, Mundt said, is an order
of last February barring U.S,
government-financed cargoes
to foreign ships that - have
traded with Cuba since Jan, 1.

Khrushchev Meets
With Leaders of
Western Nations
Moscow -(UPD- Premier Ni
kita S. Khrushchev, in a jo
vial, wise-cracking mood, met
for 3VJ hours today with high
U.S. and British negotiators
in the opening of a Kremlin
conference that could break
the East-West deadlock on a
nuclear test ban.
U.S. chief negotiator W,
Averell Harriman and British
Minister of Science Lord Hail
sham, drove after the meeting
to the U.S. Embassy where
they presumably compared
notes on the talks.
There was nn immediate
comment from either Western
delegation.
Waitarn Hoptt Raised
Nor was it disclosed when
the next meeting would take
place in the talks which are
expected to last about 10 days.
But Khrushchev's surprise
move in heading the tioviei
delegation at the opening of
the negotiations raised West
ern hopes that some form of
agreement - perhaps an ac
cord for a limited test ban -might
emerge from the cru
cial conference.
Khrushchev, in opening the
three -power conference this
afternoon, cnthusias ti c a 1 1 y
pumped the hands of presi
dential envoy Harriman and
Lord Hailsham and remarked:
"Where do we begin? Perhaps
we should begin by signing an
agreement first." In a banter
ing aside, the Soviet leader
turned to Harriman and said:
"You did right when you
kicked the British out of
America."
Khrushchev then turned to
the British chief negotiator
and said: "They acted with
wisdom, they kicked you out."
Mumbles Reply
Hailsham's mumbled reply
was not heard distinctly.
The Soviet leader had es
pecially warm and personal
greetings for Harriman, U. S.
undersecretary of state who
had dealt face - to - face with
Josef Stalin while ambassador
to Moscow during World
War 11.
Khrushchev, 69, vigorously
shaking the 71-year-old Hurri
man's hand, exclaimed: "You
are absolutely blooming, what
are you doing? Are you count
ing the years backwards?"
"I began doing that a long
time ago," answered Khrush
chev with a broad grin.

(UPD.
sources said Russia s bitter
and unprecedented attack on
Peking's militant Communism
had already sealed failure of
the talk and ft was believed
the Chinese delegates may
leave for home at any time.
More than a week of talks
have only deepened the split
between the two Communist
giants, and even if further
meetings are held the only re
sult expected is a non-com-mital
final communique, they
said.
The Soviet Union, which de
nounced the Chinese Sunday
as hypocrites, warmongers,
and racists and proclaimed its
intention of seeking better re
lations with the West, today
followed up the attack with
fresh charges against Poking.
Communist China also con
tinued the acrimonious ex
change that shows the world
the depth of the split In the
Communist camp.
No Peaca Possible
The sources said the Chi
nese closed the last meeting
with Soviet ideological ex
perts with a declaration that
no peace will be possible un
til Premier Nikita Khru
shchev and his co-leaders are
thrown out of office.
The events of the week end
left no doubt that the talks
failed completely, these diplo
mats said. They doubted that
the Stno-Sovtet split will be
heated within the lifetime of
the present leaders.
