Nuclear-Test Ban Viewed as Danger

I am a sophomore in college, 18, not old enough to vote. However, I am old enough to realize that a future which I count precious is being endangered on all sides by the giant steps the administration is taking to relieve me of my rights and my property. I take great pride in being American, but I am appalled at the innocence with which we approach the test-ban treaty. It is difficult to comprehend exactly why we proposed such a cowardly device with such a ruthless nation.

Americans need not be so blind when dealing with their own future, because one cannot deny that President Kennedy is trying to set some kind of precedent by his silences, shallowness, and utter power.

Something has to be done. It seems a shame that we must wait until ’64 for Goldwater.

Kristin Moller, 2611 Chase Dr., Wichita Falls, Tex., August 24

On Road to Socialism

The Kennedy regime tends to lead toward socialism, as shown in its soft policies regarding the Cuban situation and its constant concessions to the Soviet Union in nuclear-test-ban-treaty negotiations. The many failures of the administration are clearly shown to the public. The inefficiency of its policies has lost America prestige and has weakened our bonds with the major European countries.

Any person who supports John Kennedy in 1964 not only is illiterate of the means of democracy but is supporting a truly socialistic regime.

Road to Dictatorship

What does a dictator do to gain control of a nation? First, he must control the army. Next, national police control. We have President John F. Kennedy as commander in chief. Bob Kennedy is head of the national police force.

President Kennedy is always seeking more power. If he gets enough power, free enterprise is finished. States’ rights have vanished. We now have taxation without representation.

The President in Texas

We Dallas County folks are eager for the visit from President Kennedy. We’re glad the trip here will be political, because we want to get our money’s worth. We are paying for these trips, not Mr. Kennedy.

Charles W. Ferguson, 6151 E. Mockingbird Ln., Dallas. Oct. 8

Lasky View of Kennedy

Presumably your ego is flattered by the hate-everything squawkers who will slobber in adulation over you for publishing the vicious tissue of distortions, half-truths and innuendo which characterize Victor Lasky articles. From what garbage heap did you excavate him?

Decent readers, however, will regret another evidence of the slide and dip of a once-great newspaper to the limbo of a “U.S. Confidential” type of publication.

John Rutherford, 418 Hall St., Lancaster, Tex., Oct. 26
