From Dallas ' Texas':
Police here predict that do
nations to the the family of
slain policeman J. D. fippit
may reach $200,000 when a
mountain-size stack of mail is
finally processed.
"It's getting more amazing ev
ery day." Police Lieutenant
V. K. Hipskind told reporters
this morning.
In Fort Worth. 30 miles west
of Dallas, a young housewife
reports that a fund or the wid
ow and small daughters of
accused Presidential assassin
Lee Harvey Oswald has grown
to more than $6,000.
The young housewife referred
to is Sirs. Shirley B. William
son, age 25. She says site nev
er met Marina Oswald, the
blonde Russian-speaking widow
of Oswald, but communicates
with her through the Secret
Sen' ice.
J How did she come lo do w hat
she is doing?
She says that after Oswald
was shot by Ituby she looked
at her own four children and
this thought came to her:
"What will happen to his little
kids?" So she decided to start
a fund for them. She adds: "I'm
glad to do what I can that girl
and her children need help."
Question:
Is it WRONG to help the w ife
and children of an assassin?
For a possible answer, let's
turn to John, VllI,:
"He that is w ithout sin
among you, let him cast the
first stone at her."
Let's get closer home:
This comes from Salem:
Five of Oregon's 80 legisla
tors refused to accept full pay
ment of expenses for the spe
cial session of the Oregon legis
lature and one voluntarily cut
his $250 monthly pay to $150,
the secretary of state's office
revealed this morning.
Earlier this year the legisla
ture increased its pay to $250
a month plus $20 per diem
while the legislature was in
session. Oregon lawmakers
were formerly paid $30 per
month.
Representative Edward Elder
, announced earlier that he was
cutting his pay by $100 a
month. He also refused to ac
cept any of the $280 expense
allotment for the special ses
sion. He was a trifle spectacular
about it. He got involved in an
argument earlier in the ses
sion and stood up and cut his
check up with scissors. Later, he
taped the check back together
and then returned it uncashed,
along with another $120 per
diem expense check.
Representative John R. Del
lenback of Medford returned
all of his $260 per diem allot
ment. Representative William

involving NATO including
the forthcoming NATO council
meeting in Paris, talks in Paris
concerning a multilateral nu
clear force and "certain inter

planning chief: William P.
Bundy, assistant secretary of
defense for international secur

battle in South Vict
Nam to "let no day go by
without asking whether we are
doing everything we can to win
this struggle."

GOP Raps
American
Guilt Feeling
WASHINGTON (UPH Top
House Republicans warned to
day againht what (hey called ef
forts to make "Americans gen
erally" feel gu'lty in the assas
sination ot President Kennedy.
At the same time they served
notice that sorrow at the Presi
dent's death w ill not be allowed
lo 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
America is not its source or
loyal Americans its practition
ers. America instead lias
worked hard against these
forces and continues to do so."
Howeyer,.Sen. J. Vyilliam FuJ
bright took a different view. Jji
a speech Thursday, he put the
blame for Kennedy's death on
the nation's heritage of puritan
self-righteousness and vigilante
justice.
But Ihe GOP leaders said the
time has come to assure that
Americans are not now divided
and confused by "suspicion, dis
trust and unwarranted accusa
tions." "We are told that hate was
(lie 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 tlie teachings of com
munism. All the evidence so far
presented affirms this.
"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 tlie
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.

In the middle of tlie packing
Thursday, Mrs. Kennedy took
time out to give three-year-old
nical assistance overseas. An
appropriation bill now must be
passed to provide tlie actual
funds.
The measure was far from
what the administration wanted
and varied a good deal from
each of the widely differing
versions passed by the two
houses. But neither the House
nor the Senate can change the
compromise version and must
accept or reject it as is.
The House is expected to con
sider tlie measure early next

trains and tlie size of train
crews.
The board held that 90 per
cent of the firemen on freight
and yard locomotives could be
eliminated gradually because
other crew members could
handle their work.
It called for renewed nego
tiations on tlie size of train
crews and set up a system of
arbitration in event of deadlock
between union and management
on that issue.
In the suit, the unions said
the board failed to fallow con
gressional directives and did not
include in its ruling the items
on which the labor-management
negotiators already had agreed.
U also declared that pro
visions for elimination of Jobs
other than through normal attri
tion was Ulegal because the at
trition principle also was settled
at the bargaining table.
Congress set up a seven-man
arbitration board to decide the .
two major issues in the work
rules dispute and avoid a
threatened nationwide train
strike last Aug. 20.
The unions decided to attack
the ruling la court after the
board ruled against the fire
men and set up the arbitration
system for deciding the proper
size of most train crews.
They asked tlie federal court
(o set aside the award on
grounds that tlie congressional
guidelines were not followed by
the board. The unions also con
tended that the law setting up
the arbitration procedure was
unconstitutional.
