Aji ancient question:
Can any good thing come out
of Nazareth? Uohn I: 4
Question often asked today:
Can any good thing come out
of Dallas?
The answers:
Jesus came out of Nazareth
This kindly deed was done in
Dallas.
There is good wherever
GOOD PEOPLE live. There are
more good people than bad pen
pie. That has always been true.
That's good to remember.

Something else to remember:
The Pilgrim Fathers came to
America lo get freedom. It was
rough in the wilderness, h u t
freedom in a raw wilderness
was more esteemed by them
than LACK OF FREEDOM IN
.MORE COMFORTABLE SUH
'ROUNDIXGS. Thai's also a good thing for
all of us to remember.
Still more to remember es
pecially in these days when
crackpots tell us that com
munism is the wave of the fu
ture: Both at Jamestown, in IfitiT,
and at Plymouth 13 years later
(where Thanksgiving Day orig
inated', the communal system
was tried at the beginning. It
was a TOTAL failure at both
places.
Under the communal system,
first at Jamestown and later at
Plymouth, the people were
starving. In both places, the
communal 'communist' system
was abandoned and each was
given HIS OWN plot of ground,
and told that it was his to be
done with as he pleased. The
immediate result was PLENTY
for everybody.
Don't ever let anyone tell
you that the communist system
is better than the free enter
prise system. It isn't true.
Jamestown and Plymouth prov
ed that long ago.
In conclusion:
Today is a holiday.
Tomorrow we go back to
work.
Glancing backward to our be
ginnings, this fact stands out:
WORK IS A GOOD TIIING
not something to be dreaded.
II was WORK that built Ameri-
ca. It is work that has made
' America what it is today.

Congress Mes 0i

WASHINGTON' HTl Con
gressional leaders agreed today
lo keep Ihe House and Senate
here and at work, as President
Johnson requested. They said
talk of early adjournment was
"out."
As a first step Ihey cranked
up machinery looking to faster
action on the civil rights bill
that Johnson said would make
a most fitting memorial In his
predecessor, the slain Presi
dent Kennedy.
In response to Johnson's plea
for prompt Senate act inn on
Kennedy's $11 billion tax cut
hill, already approved by the
House, Ihey held out a "hope"
of getting the measure out of
Ihe Senate Finance Committee
before Congress quits for the
year.
SH'aker John W. McCormack,
O-Mass.. promised lo do
"everything possible" lo win
House passage this year of tlie
anti-discrimination bill, which
has been approved by the Ju
diciary Committee and awni'a
clearance by the Rules Com
mittee. Tlie bill seeks to end ra
cial discrimination in voting,
education, employment, public
accommodations and the use of
federal funds.

after Johnson's speech In a
joint session of O o n g r e s

civil rights before adjournment,
now tentatively set for a few

do is get Ihe bill out of Ihe

by tlie so-called Armed Forces

Wednesday, four heavily
armed men kidnaped U. S.
Army Col. James K. Chenaull,

The tiw in-engined plane, w ith
14 passengers and three crew
men, was hijacked shortly af

Armed men entered Ihe cock

off Vcnez-ucla, about 45 minutes

Tlie Foreign Ministry an
nounced it would ask Trinidad
authorities for prompt return of

If fulfilled, the leadership
plan also means that both the

likely.
Reaction In Johnson's first
address to Congress was mixed,
according to the listener's po
litical persuasion and philoso
phy. However, most lawmakers
had some kind words for the
man who as vice president saw
his chief shot to death by a
sniper in Dallas on Friday.
sian leaders have a better idea
of how Johnson will react un

Johnson's first ventures into
the field of personal diplomacy,
as presently planned, will be
is meetings shortly after the
new year with British, West
German and French leaders.
There is a possibility, U.S.
officials said, of a "Western
summit" conference early in
the year. However, such a ses
sion might prove awkward since
French President Charles de
Gaulle differs rather sharply
with the other Allies on nuclear
defense strategy and some

For that reason, it is consid

Sir Alex Douglas-Home and
