Atty. Gen. says U.S.
Must Tell Its Story
To The World
NEW YORK 1*1 — Atty. Gen. |
Robert F. Kennedy said today j
American leaders in the fields of j
government, education and the arts
should be sent abroad to tell the
story of the United States to the
world.
“Capitalism has become a dirty
word because it is synonymous with
selfishness,” Kennedy said in a
speech prepared for the annual
meeting of the Associated Press.
“Many people in foreign lands
believe that Americans are inter
ested only in material gain, that
they are not interested in their
neighbors, but interested in those
that are less well off,” he said.
It is to counteract misinforma
tion and dispel false impressions
of the United States that the At
torney General urged articulate
spokesmen — _ politicians, profes
sors, playwrights, poets — be sent
through the world.
Kennedy, a younger brother of
the President, returned seven weeks
ago from a month-long goodwill
tour of 10 countries. Along the way
he discussed the United States in
open debates with foreign students
and reported on his return: “In my
judgment unless we have an active
program to provide these students
with the information and facts for
which they hunger we will lose
the cold war no matter how much
money we spend on aid — military
or economic.”
Today, the Attorney General said
his proposal to send lecturers to
all nations would “help these young
people know the facts about us
and our way of life.”
An aide said President Kennedy
was aware of the contents of the
Attorney General’s speech.
Last month, commenting at a
news conference about his broth
er’s trip, the President observed
that a number of high administra
tion officials have traveled abroad
and he said they should — to learn
things and to tell people in other
lands “that we have a very vital
moving country here."
In today’s address, Atty. Gen.
Kennedy said individuals salt
abroad under his proposal “should
make tours of as many univer
sities as possible and should con
fer with labor leaders, farm and
cooperative leaders, newspaper
editors, businessmen and govern
ment officials, as well as students.”
U.S. WILL MEET RUSSIANS
IN FIELD & TRACK MEET
STANFORD, Calif. (M _ Th<
United States will meet the Rus
sians in a track and field meet a
Stanford University July 21 am
22 and Payton Jordan, Stanford’!
track coach, says the way each na
tion is selecting its team coulc
work a disadvantage against the
Americans.
The American team will be com
posed of the winners and runners
up in the National Amateur Ath
letic Union’s meet for men at
Walnut, Calif., in June and the
women’s championships at Lcs
Angeles early in July.
The Russians say they’ll also
stage national championships tG
pick their squad but that they will
allow for a proven champion to
have an off day.
To give a hypothetical example,
Russia’s Valery Brumel, the world’s
best high jumper, might not make
the Red squad on the basis of the
national meet but could be picked
to come to the United States any
way,
But great American stars, such
as Villanova’s Frank Budd, a
sprinter, and John Uelses, the
world’s only 16-foot pole vaulter
so, far, could be left off the U.S.
squad if they don’t finish first or
second in the AAU meet.
Jordan says the American selec
tion system should pattern itself
after that employed by the Rus
sians. “Otherwise, we’ll be penal
izing ourselves.”
At a press gathering in nearby
San Francisco, Jordan said he
hopes to set up a three-day train
ing and medical clinic to go along
with the meet. The hope is that
the Russians will demonstrate
techniques in training and evalua
tion of physcial skills that are
widely used by themselves and
other Europeans.

BY VERNE O. MARTIN
Republican for Governor
In forthcoming years, with a
Republican governor and a Re
publican legislature, Alaska faces
a bright and shining future.
A sound economic develop
ment program and sound ad
ministration of the departments
of state is the basic need for
Alaska now. Under the Egan
“c>a r petbagger” administration,
economic development has re
mained largely dormant. As an
illusion, in southeastern Alaska,
our vast timber resources pro
gram demands immediate ac
celeration. We need mills, we
need markets, and we need em
ployment for our available man
power. We have some 137,000,000
acres of timber capable of offer
ing over 2-billion board feet
annually on a sustained yield
basis.
Starting back in territorial
days (under a Republican ad
ministration), Japan looked to
Alaska for timber products, and
now is utilizing a major por
tion of the southeast lumber ,
industry. But new markets can <
and must be developed.
The heart of our timber in
dustry ranges southward from
Juneau to Sitka, Petersburg,
Wrangell and the Ketchikan area.
There has been no development
under the Egan administration.
With a new administration dedi
cated to progress, with vision and
courage, we can start the indus
trial ball rolling. As Republican <
governor of Alaska, this I
promise.

OLD KENTUCKY LAW . . . |
LEXINGTON, Ky. UF> — There’s I
an old Kentucky law that calls for
30-minute temperance lectures at
least twice each semester in uni
versities, colleges and most grades
or secondary schools.
Failure to comply could cost
certain administrators their jobs.
But nobody on the college level
apparently gave it much thought.
That is, until the University of
Kentucky student newspaper came ■
forth with an editorial requesting ,
the lectures. ,
... By statute, the problem is '<
in your hands, Mr. Dickey, whatcha ]
gonna do? . . . asked the tongue- f
in-cheek editorial in the Kentucky
Kernel.
University President Frank G. t
Dickey showed them.
“We have no choice execpt to ‘
comply with the law,” he said
Friday.
The lectures are in store for all
students on the main campus in ^
Lexington and at five extension r
centers.
And guess who the president put
in charge of the lectures? Dr. Niel
Plummer, head of the journalism *
school; instructor Harry Ritter and 5
the Kernel staff.
