gonPresident Kennedy gets a
TREMENDOUS reception.
Some 200,000 people jam t h e
streets of San Jose,, the little
country's capital city, giving the
U.S. President the greatest ova
tion in the little country's his
tory. All plans for a formal pa
rade had to be abandoned, and
the cars carrying President Ken
nedy and his accompanying digni
taries simply had to make their
way through the wildly cheering
masses as best they could.
It must have been a wonderful
sight to see.
It must have been more than
that. It must have been an AWE
SOME sight to see. In President
Kennedy's mind must have been
this thought:
Can we give these people what
they HOPE we can give them?
It isn't going to be an easy job.
It isn't going to be all laugh
ing and cheering.
It isn't going to be all big
parades.
In Latin America, there is
GREAT discontent. And much of
the discontent is deserved. Latin
America has suffered deeply at
the hands of the OUTSIDERS
who have come to it
There have been too many
Coitezes. There have been too
many Pizarros. There have been
too many OUTSIDERS whose sole
interest has been plundering Latin
America of its riches.
The memory of that must still
rankle in Latin American minds
These bitter memories must be
eradicated if we are to bring
REAL HELP to the people of
Latin America.
So far, in our efforts to help
the people of the more backward
parts of the world, we haven't
been able to think of much but
spending money.
If we're going to remake the
America that lies south of the
Rio Grande in the pattern of the
America that lies north of the
Rio Grande, we're going to have
to do a better and more effective
foreign job than we have done in
. much of the rest of the world.
We'd better keep that clearly in
mind.
The remaking of Latin America
is going to require more than
just MONEY.
It's going to require LEADERS.
Leaders of the type of Mexico's
Benito Juarez, a full-blooded Za
potec Indian who rose to be presi
dent of Mexico. His background
gave him the confidence of the
Mexican masses. Because they
had confidence in him, the Mexi
can masses were willing to follow
wherever he led.
If Latin America is to be made
what we'd like it to be, it is
going to need more leaders of
the type of Simon Bolivar who
is known as the George Washing
ton of South America.
Bolivar came of a wealthy and
prominent Venezuelan family. He
devoted his life and his fortune
to the freeing of hes country. The
great objective of Simon Bolivar's
life was the creation of independ
ent South American republics and
uniting them in a strong federation.

The Military Air Transport Serv

Aboard were eight Navy crew

The flight originated in Japan

The piston-engine aircraft was
flying at 11,000 feet in good weath

repeal the law which allows
publisher or broadcaster to free
himself from liability for unintcn
tional libel by carrying a retrac
tion if requested.
Under the Lent biB, a retraction
no longer would free a publisher!
or broadcaster from liability in
cases of unintentional, but "negli
gent" libel. A retraction would
only be a mitigating consideration.
The Lent bill also would throw
the weight of proof of good inten
tions onto the publisher or broad
caster. At present, the person
who says he has been libeled
must prove bad intentions.
Most of the witnesses, repre
senting the broadcasting and pub
lishing industries, spoke against
the bill. Speaking for it was Philip
Levin, a Portland, attorney who
recently lost a libel "case in which
he tried unsuccessfully to have
the present law ruled unconstitu
tional.
Salem publisher and former gov
crnor Charles Sprague said the
types of libel at issite were those
involving an honest mistake on
the part of a reporter, a faulty
news source, or even the slipping
of a line of type into the wrong
place in a column. He noted that
newsmen often work under pres-

He said papers print retractions

the day's talks with a visit to the

Before going to today's formal

Kennedy stopped briefly at the
historic Cathedral of San Jose,
where a special mass was being
celebrated In honor of the feast
of St. Joseph, for whom this
capital Is named.
The President evaded a crowd ,

Kennedy said he hoped for prog-

America.
Though he said Monday that
the Soviet Union, "through its

communism in Latin America,
Kennedy was expected to resist
a wish for an early meeting of
foreign ministers of the Organiza

plan tougher and quicker action
against Fidel Castro's Cuba.
In addition to Kennedy, presi
