MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1963
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Top
House Republicans warned to
day against what they called ef
forts to make "Americans gen
erally" feel guilty in the assus
sination of President Kennedy.
At the same time they served
notice that sorrow at the Presi
dent's death will not be allowed
to impede honest debate and
dissent.
"There is guilt," they said,
"but it is not American guilt.
It is the guilt of the murderer.
There is hatred, fanaticism,
and bigotry in the world but

ical forces in the United States
and "stir up anti-Communist,
anti-Soviet, and anti-Cuban hys
teria." The charge was made in a
communist parly statement in
j the official newspaper Pravda.
Most of the statement was de
voted to an appeal to Commu
nist China to cease its propa
ganda attacks on the Soviet
Union so that a world confer
ence of Communist parties
could be summoned in an ap
parent final attempt to solve
the Sino-Sovict ideological dis
pute. The references to Kennedy
were the first made in a formal
parly statement. They echoed
charges made frequently since
the President's assassination by
Soviet newspapers and Moscow
Radio.
Kennedy, the statement said,
was "the most authoritative
political figure in the capitalist
world and, while adhering to
the position of his class, took a
sober view of the changes in
the international arena and
tried to adjust the foreign and
domestic policies of his country
to those changes."
A Soviet call for a Commu
nist summit meeting to discuss
the split with Peking had been
expected for some time. West
ern observers here gave such
a meeting few chances of
success.
America is not its source or
loyal Americans its practition
ers. America instead has
worked hard against these
forces and continues to do so."
Nation's Heritage
However, Sen. J. William Ful
bright took a different view. In
a speech Thursday, he put the
blame for Kennedy's death on
the nation's heritage of puritan
self-righteousness and vigilante
justice. By renouncing extrem
ism, Fulbright said, the nation
might find some redemption for
Kennedy's death.
But the COP leaders said the
time has come to assure thai
Americans are not now divided
and confused hv "susnirinn rlis.
i trust and unwarranted accusa
tions.
"We are totd that htn was
tne assassin that struck down
the President," they said in a
formal statement by the 36
member House Republican Pol
icy Committee.
"If it was hatred that moved
the assassin, that hatred was
bred by the teachings of com
munism. All the evidence so far
presented affirms this.
Alien Doctrine
"Efforts to make Americans
generally feel guilty of the
crime now are obscuring the
nature of the crime. Rather
than setting American against
American, as easily could hap
pen if guilt is misplaced and
doubt becomes a device of po
litical debate, the tragic event
should serve to set the face and
heart of all Americans firmly
against the warped and alien
doctrine which, alone in the
world today, preaches destruc
tion of societies and freedoms,
employs murder as a tool, and
threatens violence around the
globe from a base of major na
tional power.
"That doctrine is the doctrine
of communism."
The statement was drafted
for the committee's approval
today by a three-man subcom
mittee set up for the purpose
at the group's last regular
meeting on Tuesday.
