WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi-
dent Kennedy today was reported
nearing a decision on military
and diplomatic measures the
United States may take to meet
the Soviet challenge over West
Berlin.
The president scheduled a Na-
itonal Security Council mexiag
for late afternoon. The meeting
was expected to deal largely if
not entirely with the Berlin crisis
and is the third such White House
gathering of top policy makers in
a period of about three weeks.
Prior to this conference with
his top diplomatic and military
advisers Kennedy was due to
make at a news conference a new
statement of U.S. determination
to protect West Berlin against
Communist pressures.
The Kennedy statement was
timed to follow by about 24 hours
warnings of war danger given to
the Soviet government by the
France. The three powers told the
Kremlin that the Berlin crisis is
solely of the Soviet Union's mak-
ing and they declared they found
it necessary "to warn the Soviet
government in all seriousness of
the grave dangers-’ of its course.
If the Soviets undertake, as
Premier Khrushchev has warned
they will do, to destroy Western
international peace and security
and "the lives and well-being of
millions of people," the U.S. note:
to Moscow said. U.S., British and
French messages on the Berlin
situation were delivered in the
Soviet capital Monday and made
public Tuesday.
The Western powers already

Every person in Orange County stands
a little shorter, with shoulders a little less
square, and with his personal safety and
economic security,a little less secure be-
cause of a continuing series of acts of vio-
lence against men working at plants where
other workers are on strike.
Any man’s home is his castle. Who-
ever violates it in any way commits a
very serjous offense. And when a home
is violated in the manner and under the
circumstances involved in the shotgunning
of the Elzie Wagstaff residence the offense
is unforgivable
Any man’s right to work- and to un-
impeded access to his job is sacred and
whoever violates it commits a crime
against all mankind.
There are no circumstances under
which such acts are justified and when-
ever they occur they stand as an indict-
ment against the entire community where
they take place.
Such indictments have been drawn in
this county several times earlier in this
year and twice in this week One of the
newest is written in buckshot holes and
