Zorcr Residents Express Shock Disbelief And Sorrow
Shock. Diibelicf. SurprUe.
Sorrow.
These are some of the reac
tions of persons in Klamath
Falls to the death of President
Kennedy at the hands of an as
sassin Friday.
"It leaves you with nothing
to think about. It's as if every
thing ended right there."
That was the reaction of a
Malin farmer, Ed Cacka.
Klamath Falls Mayor Robert
VeaUh summed up his reaction
to the assassination in one
word:
Flags Should Be Flown
Half Mast For 30 Days
Organizations and individu
als desiring to display Ameri
can flags at halt mast in mem
ory of the late President John F.
Kennedy should do so for a
peiiod of 30 days.
In March, 11154, Gen. Dwight
Eisenhower, then president of
the United States, designated by
proclamation that the flag
should remain at half mast for
that appeared to cover an in
jured hand.
For several days, his condi
tion held out some hope of re
covery, but a week later lie be
came suddenly worse and died.
There comes now the assassi
nation of President Kennedy.
A suspect lias been arrested.
He is Lee H. Oswald. He is a
former Marine with a 'dishon
orable discharge. He is a pro
Castro Marxist. He once sought
citizenship in communist Rus
sia. He follows the historic pat
tern of American assassins.
Without exception, they have
been crackpots.
That suggests a thought for
those of us who have not agreed
politically with some of our
Presidents. Perhaps' we liave
been TOO PARTISAN. Perhaps
our partisanship has been unin
tentionally carried TOO FAR.
We can make the necessary
rationalizations. We can make
cracks alwut the man in the
White House without meaning
anything disrespectful to the
President of the United .States.
Perhaps the crnckxts CAN'T.
At least, it's worth some seri
ous thinking on our part.

" Incomprehensible."
.Klamath County Commission
ers Ken Allison and Frank Ga
nong issued the following state
ment: "Our feeling is that our na
tion has suffered a great loss
in the death of our President,
John F. Kennedy, and our
hearts go out and suffer along
with Mrs. Kennedy and her
family. Our desire would be
that the people in Klamath
County and the nation would
rally behind our new President,
Lyndon B. Johnson, and that
that period when noting t h e
passing of a former or present
U.S. President.'
Flags are flown from sunup
to sundown, except in stormy
weather; however, a reliable
source at Kingsley Field said
that in observance of the death
of a President the flag should
be displayed at half mast even
in inclement weather.
McKinley

Recalled
Mrs. W. A. Bishop, 429 North
Ninth, who was a little girl of

and News Saturday that she

death of President McKinley in
IDOL

to be assassinated until the
death of President Kennedy
Friday, was shot Sept. 6, 1901,

the time and could remember
services being held on the court

My God To Thee'," she said.
