IT’S RED CROSS TIME AGAIN
THERE HAVE BEEN several campaigns already this month
for worthy causes to which the people of Nome always con
tribute generously. Because it is last to make its appeal, does
not mean it is of lesser importance.
For over 100 years the Red Cross has been a symbol of
man's effort to use humanitarian principles as a guide for conduct
in the world community.
In 1963, which is the 100th anniversary of the Red Cross,
some 90 nations and over 157 million people are members of the
Red Cross and subscribe to its increasing efforts to aid all in need.
In this area in the past year over S6,000 went to Kotzebue
following their storm last fall, with boats, nets, fishing gear and
other items being given the community. Two individual families
were given relief following disastrous home fires, with clothing
and other supplies. One family is in Shishmaref and the other
was in Unalakleet.
Do your bit this week, because it may be YOU that needs
help next year.
Negro Leader Disillusioned
By The Civil Rights
Movement In Seattle
SEATTLE (TP — A negro min
ister said Saturday he is disillu
sioned by the civil rights move
ment here and is leaving Seattle
to study at an Atlanta, Ga. semi
nary. He has been a local inte
gration leader.
The Rev. Mance Jackson, pastor
of the Bethel Christian Methodist
Episcopal Church, said members
of his own race failed to support
unspectacular work in housing and
job discrimination.
They “lend a hand only when
there is something dramatic like
a march,” he said in a Seattle
Times interview.
The minister said too many
long-time negro residents here are
afraid of rocking the boat “or dis
turbing the relationships they
think they have.”

I Sen. Kefauvei
Dies of Ruptured
Heart Vessel
WASHINGTON 1.4* — Sen. Estes
Kefauver, the tall folksy Tennes
sean who campaigned in a coon
skin cap and once nearly won the
Democratic presidential nomina
tion, died Saturday of a ruptured
heart vessel.
Death came in the predawn
hours at Bethesda Naval Hospital
and followed what doctors had de
scribed earlier as a “mild heart
attack’’ after Kefauver left the
Senate floor Thursday evening
feeling ill.
Kefauver had observed his 60th
birthday on July 26.
The death was announced by
his administrative aide, Charles
Caldwell.
Mrs. Kefauver and two of their
three daughters, rushing back
from a Denver vacation to be
with him, arrived too late. Their
plane landed just about the time
the senator died at 3:40 a.m.
Kefauver, Tennessee's senior
senator serving his third straight
six-year term, was as well known
for his Senate investigations of
crime, the drug industry and box
ing as he was for his two unsuc
cessful campaigns for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination in
1952 and 1956.
A big friendly man, he had a
wide campaign grin and reached
out to shake any hand in sight.
His softspoken voice seemed al
most surprising, coming from his
6-foot-3, 200-pound frame.
“My name is Estes Kefauver,”
he would say in that soft voice.
“I'm running for President of the
United States. I hope you'll help
me.”
Before entering the Senate, Ke
fauver had served more than nine
years in the House.
Noted as a liberal on many mat
ters, including civil rights legis
lation, he was one of the few
southerners in Congress to refuse
to sign a manifesto attacking the
1954 Supreme Court school deseg
regation ruling.
His support of anti-poll tax and
anti-lvnching legislation, and at
tempts to reform Senate rules to
curb filibusters, won him political
friends among the southern bloc.
He first became familiar to mil
lions of Americans through the
cross - country series of televised
hearings of his Senate Crime In
vestigating Committee in 1950 and
1951.
Many of the nation’s big-time
racket chiefs, gamblers and hood
lums were hailed before Kefauver
—and the TV cameras. He wrote
a book about his findings, called
“Crime In America.”

termittent rain, fog and drizzle.

Messages of Condolence
Come From All Over
To President and Wife
By The Associated Press
“Our deepest sympathy to the
grieving parents.”
Thus did West German Presi
dent Heinrich Luebke express the
sympathy felt by people all over
the world at the death of the in
fant son of President and Mrs.
Kennedy.
“I am greatly saddened, dear
President, that the happiness of
yourself and Mrs. Kennedy was so
brief,” messaged President An
tonio Segni of Italy on the death
of Patrick Bouvier Kennedy. “My
wife and I are near you with the
most sincere grief.”
Messages of condolence poured
in from all over the world to the
saddened President and his wife
on the passing of their son after
little more than 39 hours of life.
Private messages of sympathy,
the contents of which were not
made public, came from President
and Mrs. Charles De Gaulle and
Premier Georges Pompidou of
France, British Prime Minister
Harold MacMillan and his wife,
and Pope Paul VI.
Democratic Leader Mike Mans
field who had happily announced
the baby’s birth to an applauding
Senate only two days before, gave
the sorrowful news of his death. .
“I know I speak for the Senate,
the Congress and the people of the
nation and the world in expressing
a deep sense of sadness at the
untimely passing of Patrick Bou
vier Kennedy, son of the Presi
dent. May his soul rest in peace,”
Mansfield said.

Cardinal Cushing Says
Mass of the Angels For
Little Patrick B. Kennedy
BOSTON W —Richard Cardinal
Cushing, Boston Archbishop and
long-time friend of President John
F. Kennedy, said a private Mass
of the Angels Saturday for little
Patrick Bouvier Kennedy, who
died Friday.
The President and a few close
relatives filled the little chapel at
the Cardinal’s residence as the
prelate, wearing white vestments,
said the special mass for children.
The mass lasted less than a half
hour and then the cortege—eight
limousines and a hearse—left for
the cemetery.
Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy, 34,
the first lady who gave birth to
the premature baby Wednesday,
remained at Otis Air Force Base
Hospital.
The main theme of the Roman
Catholic ritual for the Mass of the
Angels is: “Everlasting life to all
children.”
The ritual was established par
ticularly for children who die be
fore the age of reason — about
seven years.
