CARACAS, Venezuela (UPI)
Four pro - Castro terrorists

kidnaped U.S. Army Col. James
K. Chenault, 45, Sherman, Tex.,
today In front of his home.
The voune assailants overpow
ered a Venezuelan army soldier
who was Chenault's chauffeur to
kidnap the deputy chief of the
U. S. Army Mission in Venezue
la. The kidnaping was carried out
at 6:30 a.m. two nours later,
the American Embassy received
an anonymous telephone call in
which it was told "Col. Chenault
will not be harmed.
, "We only want him for prop
aganda purposes," the caller
said.
No Witnesses.
There apparently were no wit
nesses to the kidnaping other
than the driver of the U. S.
Army Mission car. He told po
lice Col. Chenault, who was not
armed, did not resist his cap

away in a 1952 car, found aban

Chenault's wife, Ruth, Council

Johnson
Signs
Debt Ceiling
WASHINGTON (UPI)-Prcsl-dent
Johnson today signed a
bill to extend the temporary
debt limit to $315 billion. It was
the first legislation signed into
law by the new President.
The bill raising the debt ceil
ing from $309 billion, effective
Friday, was vitally needed be
cause the legal debt limit would
otherwise drop to the $285 bil
lion "permanent" level on Sun
day, Nov. 30.
The debt balance Is currently
running approximately $308 bil
lion and it would be Impossi
ble for the Treasury to reduce
the debt to the $285 billion level
when the legislation extending
the authorized limit to $309 bil
lion expires Saturday.
This is the third "tempo
rary" increase in the last three
months.
The new $315 billion limit in
effect for the remainder of this
fiscal year was endorsed re
luctantly by Treasury Secretary
Douglas Dillon and Budget Di
rector Kermlt Gordon.
Dillon said he would have
preferred a slightly higher ceil
ingapproximately $317 billion
to give the Treasury a little
more flexibility in its borrow
ing policies.

Dear Sir: The Jackson County
Pharmaceutical A s s o c 1 ation
wishes to bring to your attention
the following as concerns the
recent action in pro-rating the
cost of formulary prescriptions
to welfare recipients. . ,
The idea of economy in the
use of taxpayers' money is very
commendable and is highly ap
proved by this body. However
the action as taken in this case
appears to be pointed only to
wards medical requirements.
We are critical of this action
for the following reasons:
1. Why Is pro - rating only
directed towards medical needs
and not spread over the full
spectrum of costs of operation?
2. The formulary prescriptions
costs as set up by the Oregon
State Welfare Board are mini
mal at best, and contrary to in
formation advanced in the press
is not calculated at cost of
drugs plus 50 per cent plus a
professional fee of 85c. This is
borne out by prescription costs
in the State Welfare pricing
chart starting at 85c, 90c, 95c,
$1.00, $1.10,.and hence allows for
no pro-rating without a loss by
the individual operator who
then is called on to subsidize
the welfare program.
3. We are reliably informed
that the Jackson County budget
for formulary prescriptions is
set at less than $1500 per month.
Further that the overage during
the pro-rating period for this
county amounted to approxi
mately 6 per cent. Why then
must this county and those co
operating under this welfare
program be penalized up to 35
per cent and what happens to
the surplus funds during the
months that this county has not
exceeded the budget?
4. It is our feeling that since
we are operating under mini
mum set fees that this price
should bo guaranteed as we
have no control ovor the number
of welfare recipients, the num
ber of prescriptions written or
the amount and type of medica
tions used.
Hence we protest the pro
rating of all payments under
the fee schedule as established
by the Welfare Commission. We
do not feel the welfare recipient
should be penalized by inade
quate budgeting which could re
sult in a discontinuance of medi
cal services.

strongly as Chief Justice Earl

cause of the terrible tragedy

ous hatred that has been in
jected into the thinking of peo
ple by bigots, is responsible for
the death of President Ken
nedy." lo disagree is Amer can it's
healthy; but to persist with ma
licious, false, derogatory innu
endoes on the level that has pre
vailed the past three years, is
against everything that is patri
otic! Bigotry is the most base
kind of psychic cancer, and like
physical cancer, leaves the per
son totally unaware of its pres
sence until the terminal stage
which is, of course, too late. Let
ters have been printed which
have left me aghast. Officials at
the Whito House have been
deeply concerned over the vol
ume of derogatory mail re
ceived for the President. Base
less, hateful accusations, word
of mouth implications; all these
imngs poison and grow until
one man pulls a trigger. But
who has helped aim the gun?
i am truly asnamcd for my

This morning in private de
votions I ran across the follow
ing quote from a fine writer of
the past on the subject of
thanksgiving, and trust all read
ers may receive as much from
it as was mine to experience.
"Our whole life should speak
forth our thankfulness; every
condition and place we are in
should be a witness of our thank
fulness; this will make the time
and places we live in the better
for us. When we ourselves are
monuments of God's mercy, it
is lit we snould be patterns of
wis praises, and leave monu
ments to others.
"We should think life is given
to us for us to do something
better than to live in; we live
not to live; our life is not tho
end of itself, but the praise of
tne uiver. God hath joined His
glory and our happiness to
gether: it is fit that we should
refer all that is good to His
glory, who hath joined His glory
to our Dest good in being glori
fied in our salvation (Psalm
50. 14, 116. 17). Praise is a just
ana aue tribute for all God s
blessings; for what else do the
best favors of God especially
call for at our hands? How do
all creatures praise God but by
our mouths? It is a debt alwavs
owing, and always paying; and
the more we pay the more we
snau owe: upon the due dis
charge of this debt, - the soul
will find much peace.
"A thankful heart to God for
His blessings is the greatest
blessing of all.
Were it not for a few gra
cious souls, what honor would
God have from the rest of the
unthankful world? Which should
stir us up the more to be
trumpets of God's praises in
the midst of His enemies; be
cause this, in some sort, hath
a prerogative above our prais
ing uod in neaven: for there
God hath no enemies to dis
honor Him." Author: R. Sibbes,
In Biblical Museum.
A real good thanksgiving to
every reader.

Making Plans for
Holiday Reunion
Entire Clan
Will Be Present
HYANNIS PORT, Mass.
(UPI) The grief-stricken Ken
nedy family today made plans
for its saddest Thanksgiving re
union. Within the last four months
death has struck twice. First
the newborn son of the Presi
dent and Mrs. Jacqueline Ken
nedy died shortly after birth.
Last Friday the President, vic
tim of an assassin's bullet,
joined his son in death.
The President's widow was
expected to fly here Thursday
with her two children aboard
the family plane, the Caroline.
Little John John turned three
on Monday, the day his father
was buried in Arlington Nation
al Cemetery.
Caroline was six today.
All 11 adults and 20 children
of the mourning family were
expected to be present. At the
head of the table will be for
mer Ambassador Joseph P.
Kennedy. The 75-year-old head
of the clan has been paralyzed
and confined to a wheelchair
since a stroke in December,
1961. He says clearly only one
word "no."
Laughter To Be Absent '
It will mark the first time
Jacqueline and Atty. Gen. Rob
ert F. Kennedy will have seen
the former ambassador since
the President's assassination.
The attorney general's wife,
Ethel, Sen. and Mrs. Edward
Kennedy, Sargent Shriver and
his wife, Eunice, Stephen and
Jean Smith and the Peter Law-
fords also will be present.
Laughter and joy usual in
gredients of any Kennedy clan
meeting will be absent. So will
the traditional touch football
game.
Otherwise the Thanksgiving
observance was expected to fol
low the traditional pattern. The
children will have their dinner
in the afternoon at Robert Ken
nedy's home. The adults will eat
in the evening at Joseph Ken
nedy's house.
government, and if you were
lucky enough to get to really
know him as a friend instead
of just a president, you would
realize I'm sure what a great
man he really was. And this is
now how the Deoole of the Unit
ed States feel, even if we didn't
get to know him as well as tne
people he loved did.
Mr. Kennedy's smile was one
that brought a great deal ot
warmth and admiration, that no
one man could receive more of.
Then came the day in Novem
ber of 1963, 22nd day of the
month, on which we lost the
great man, President Kennedy,
for a foolish shot was fired by
one man. The firing of this shot
was heard all over tho world
and that the people felt with
deep sorrow.
John r . Kennedy s name win
go down in history not as the
man that was shot to death, but
as the man who tried to make
a wish come true, and as a
man that died serving his coun
try the best way he could.
There's not anything that any
one could write or even say that
would give this man the credit
due to him and to the family
survivors.
Tho only thing the American
people and people all over the
world can do now is pray that
the new President will be able
to carry on his shoulders the
responsibility that John F. Ken
nedy died trying to do, and that
he will carry on with all the
other members ot tne govern
ment the last wishes and the
final wishes of the late Presi
dent, to have peace not only
to this nation but in .all the
nations all over the world.
Let's hope his great speech
will be remembered in the
hearts of the people:
"Ask not what your country
can do for you but what you
can do for your country."
May God be with you, John
F. Kennedy, as you rest in
peace. And, you, Mrs. Jackie
Kennedy, with all the deepest
sympathy, and to you President
Lyndon B. Johnson.

his accused assassin, Lee H.

There was renewed specula

Upon Retirement
Martin E. Sands, who retired
last month as vice president and

evening, addressing the 140
guests from various points in
California and Oregon.
Albert also presented Sands
with a retiring plaque to com
memorate his years of service

ridicule them is unwarranted
and unfair and whether they do
or do not investigate and reduce
expenditures. This will not stem
the rising tide of resentment
against more taxes which is na
tionwide at this time. Most of
us are full up to here with being
fleeced for every penny they
can get.
As for this scare that to re
duce expenses would drive our
best teachers out and reduce ed
ucation to mediocrity is non
sense. It would in fact eliminate
only the ones whose interests
were in the money they can get
rather than the services they
can render. These are not the
best teachers and we would be
better off without them as we
already know our teachers are
well paid, in fact one of the
highest paid professions there
is at this time.
So let's come off this foolish
ness. If the expenditures of edu
cation are aboveboard and hon
est then they should not fear an
investigation, if they are not,
the people have a right to know
about it. Senator Pearson ex

Carol s husband and himself
charged with master-minding
the slaying when Anderson
told how he broke off a paring
knife in the woman's throat and
left her dying.
In a slow, careful voice. An
derson recounted the events of
last March 6, that bitter - cold
day when Carol Thompson stag
gered bleeding and unrecogniza
ble from her home only to die
in a hospital hours later.
He said he woke up at 5 a.m.,
put on his slippers and "went
directly to the refrigerator and
mixed a double shot of vodka."
He drank it and then drank an
other. He walked to the bathroom,
where he shaved, put on a
white shirt, clean suit and ad
justed his tie. Another double
shot of vodka and a couple of
benzedrine pills and he was
ready.
On his way out, he put on a
hat borrowed he said from
Norman J. Mastrian, an ex
prizefighter who has been
named as the middleman in the
slaying the man with the
$3,000 payoff.
Anderson said he arrived at
the Thompson's fashionable
home at 5:30 a.m., ducked in
an open door and waited patient
ly in the darkened basement
while Carol Thompson got her
four children off to school.
When the children were gone,
and Carol was back in bed
reading a magazine, Anderson
said he crept upstairs and into
her room.
As Anderson told of the kill
ing Thompson began to shudder.
His jaw quivered convulsively,
his shoulders shook. "Oh, God
help you," he cried, stared at
Anderson and collapsed sobbing
on a table.
Thompson regained his com
posure after a recess, but his
face was ashen. The state says
he masterminded the plot to
collect the more than $1 million
insurance he had taken out on
Carol's life and to take up with
his paramour.

Various Members
Of Kennedy Crew
Will Be Replaced
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
vanguard of President John
son's staff has moved into the
White House and more will fol
low, working with and ultimate
ly replacing various members
of the Kennedy crew.
One of Johnson's first acts
upon being thrust into the pres
idency by the assassination of
President Kennedy was to ask
his predecessor's staff to stay
on.
But as vice president, John
son had a staff of his own
hardly as large as Kennedy's
but sizable' in its own right.
Like Johnson, most of them are
Texans.
No Job Hunting
Just- as many of Kennedy's
staff members were held to
him by close personal tics and
will not want to stay with their
leader gone, Johnson's own
loyal employes will not have to
go job hunting.
On higher policy levels, John
son undoubtedly will want with
him the aides he has known
and trusted for years. Several
already are at work in tho
White House, coordinating thn
new President's desires witM
the departed Chief Executive's)
personnel. These include:
William Moyers, not quite
30, who is deputy director of
the Peace Corps but is acting
as a key liaison man at the
White House between Johnson
and the Kennedy staff. Moyers
is a Fort Worth man who at
tended North Texas State Col
lege and worked for the John
son radio station in Austin.
Johnson holds him in the high
est regard.
Longest in Service
Walter Jenkins, staff mem
ber longest in Johnson's Wash
ington service, was his admin
istrative assistant as vice presi
dent and senator. A University
of Texas graduate, Jenkins be
gan working for Johnson when
the president was a House
member. In his 40's, Jenkins is
a native of Wichita Falls.

Juanita Roberts, staff secretar
ies who have divided the main
burden of personal secretarial
work for Johnson in recent
months. Miss Fehmer was with
the Johnsons in Texas when
Kennedy was assassinated.

Press Secretary Pierre Salinger
are:
Former Chicagoan
