Funds Roll In for Family j
Of Med gar Evers
NEW YORK W — »i am a girl
11 years old,” the letter began,
“and I was sorry to hear that the
Evers children lost their daddy
because some bad men shot him
dead.
“I am sending a dollar bill,
which is my allowance for the
week. It is not enough. 1 know,
but it is all I have right now. I
hope it will help a little bit.”
The contribution was one of
more than 1,000 that have poured
into the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People for the education of Med
gar W. Evers’ three children.
Evers, the NAACPs field secre
tary for Mississippi, was shot in
the back outside his home in Jack
son, Miss., June 12.
The fund totals $44,163.57.
The first contributions arrived
even before the NAACP consid
ered estalishing a fund.
Miss Mildred Bond. NAACP Ad
ministrative Assistant in charge
of the fund collections, says: “When
we came to work the day Evers
was shot, we found three or four
people waiting in the office. One
lady said she cried when she heard
the news and just had to make a
contribution to help the family.”
Mrs. Evers received a letter
from a New York man, who wrote
it the day Evers was shot. It said,
in part: “I’m white, the grand
father of two boys and a girl and
I’m 55 years of age. Today a little
of me died when I read the news
of the brutal, cold-blooded murder
of your husband.
“I work for a living and make
a fair salary. You would honor me
if you would permit me to set up a
modest annuity in behalf of your
children.”
Enclosed was a check for $25.

Avoid ‘Little Sir Echo'
Role, Advises Goldwater
By GAYLORD SHAW
BARTLESVILLE, Okla. UP\ —
Republicans will win in 1964 if
they avoid a “Little Sir Echo"
candidate and offer instead a clear
alternative to President Kenne
dy s policies, Arizona Sen. Barry
Goldwater said here Friday night.
Speaking in a basketball gym
nasium jammed with more than
1,000 noisy supporters, Goldwater
talked like a man who would like
to represent “the clear cut choice”
he urged.
But again the conservative Sen
ator said he isn’t ready to say if
he will seek the Republican Pres
idential nomination.
'The Republicans can and must
offer this nation a choice,” Gold
water said. “We must offer the
chance for sound policies here at
home and for freedom around the
world. We don’t want to be known
as Little Sir Echo. We want real
Republican voices and choices to
be heard.”
The loud, happy — and at times
nearly rowdy — crowd greeted
Goldwater’s remarks with waves
of thunderous applause
Goldwater criticized — with
out mentioning names — Republi
cans who advocate offering “the
warmed over, watered-down argu
ments of the Democrats,” declaring
this would deny the American
people “the clear-cut choice they
want.”
He said it would be foolhardy
and unrealistic for the party to
aim only for northern cities and
write off the South in its 1964
campaign strategy.
WASHINGTON W — The Sen
ate has confirmed these postmas
ter nominations by President Ken
nedy:
Theodore Samuelson, Bethel;
Lyman E. McBride, Kenai.

Man On Moon
Is Boeing Project
(Note: Mining Claims Forms for
Sale at The Nuggel) . . .
SEATTLE Sept. 16 'Special) —
The Boeing Company put four
men on the moon in the vicinity
of the Ural Mountains last spring.
Two were astronauts; two were
lunar scientists. They stayed for
90 days exploring the lunar sur
face and then returned to the earth
via a modified Apollo. Their names
— A, B. C and D
Alas, it was only a paper moon
— a company-sponsored study on
lunar exploration.
Since conducting the study, Boe
ing’s Aero-Space Division has been
awarded a $196,000 contract for j
lunar base designs by the National
Aeronautics and Space Adminis
tration.
The first objective of lunar ex
ploration, according to the Boeing
study, should be to understand the
physical and chemical nature of
the moon. This could be done by
manned landings at 12 carefully
selected spots on the visible side
of the lunar globe. Each expedi
tion would last 90 days or less.
About four per cent of the earth
side of the moon could be explored
by the multiple landings approach.
This is enough to give representa
tive information on visible moon
features.
Boeing, in its study, planned a
90-day excursion to a point on the
moon within 12.4 <20 miles km.)
of the Ural Mountains, 18.6 miles
(30 km.) of the Ripaeus Boreus
Mountains and 77.5 miles (125
km.) of the large equatorial cra
ter, Lansberg.
The time assumed for this moon
landing is in the early 1970s.
The moon laboratory or lunar
shelter is an upright cylinder di
vided into two compartments, one
over the other. A walk-in airlock
allows entrance and exit without
disturbing the near-earth atmos
phere inside the shelter. The bot
tom compartment is the living
space. It doubles as a storm cel
lar in case of intense solar flare
activity.
At the end of the exploration
period, the crew climbs aboard the
Apollo, stacks some moon rocks
in the trunk and heads for home.

LOTTERY FINANCING
DAWSON CREEK, B. C , — ,
Financially hard-pressed enmmu
nities in British Columbia are

mitting lotteries.
Lottery revenue, the resolution
said, should go exclusively into
education, public health, hospital
construction and similar purposes.

of detection.
