to advisers who considered the
question in terms of minimum ac-
tion and maximum political ad-

the electorate and Khrushchev’s
knowledge that he cannot risk a
war can save the situation.
THE MILITARY argued that a
naval blockade would create con-
tinuingly dangerous problems and
fail to eradicate the root cause
of the crisis To elaborate: The
blockade would, by its very nat-
ure, be a prolonged maneuver,
perhaps embroiling the United
States in new troubles with allied
and neutralist nations and extend-
ing the period of nervous interna-
tional tension. It would not re-

. Before a cold supposedly cut short President Ken-
nedy’s political touring, he was traveling more than
any of his predecessors in an attempt to help elect
congressmen who would support his program in the
next session of Congress.
Kennedy probably was aware that he had a big
selling job to do if he were to carry out any of the
domestic promises he made during an election just
two years ago. His bare victory in that election
must still be very fresh on his mind, for it was obv-
iously proven that a far from overwhelming num-
ber of Americans did not necessarily approve of his
promises. Kennedy, you will remember, did not
carry Denton County, probably because of his stand
on domestic issues.
Although Congres next session will be faced with
, many problems outside of the domestic field, it
perhaps has never been more important to elect con-
gressmen who will stand up first for the national in-
terests and for their political parties second. Both
parties, of course, think their aims and those of the
nation are the same and. in many respects, they are.
But blind party allegiance and the nation’s heeds
are not necessarily the same.
Since the highly regarded Democrat, Frank Ikard,
resigned his post as congressman from this area,
Denton, Wise, Cooke, Wichita and other North Tex-
as counties have been represented in Congress by
another Democrat, Graham Purcell of Wichita Falls.
Having been in Congress for only a few months, it
is difficult to know what his potentials are. It is
not, however, difficult to analyze his voting record
on key issues.
The non - partisan Congressional Quarterly has
compiled th voting records of all congressmen in
relation to their support or lack of support of Presi-
dent Kennedy’s program.
Rep. Purcell supported President Kennedy’s dom-
estic programs 83 per cent of the time he had an op-
portunity to cast a ballot. Out of 22 Texas congress-
men, only two Texans supported the President’s do-
mestic programs to a greater degree than Purcell—
Rep. Thomas of Houston backed Kennedy 90 per
cent of the time on domestic issues and Rep Gon-
zalez supported the Kennedy New Frontier 86 -per
cent of the time. Other Texas Democrats ranged
down to 31 per cent Kennedy support on domestic
matters.
It is unfair to judge a candidate solely on per-
centages of. anything. But in the case of next Tues-
. day’s election, Purcell’s voting- record thus far is
not one pleasing to the political conservative. And
since so few Dentonites actually know Purcell, his
voting record is about all most of us can use as a
yardstick.
Fortunately, we do not have to go to the polls
next Tuesday to find only one name on the ballot
in this and other major races Purcell has an
opponent—Republican Joe Meissner, also of Wich-
ita Falls, who already has voiced opposition to Pur-
cell’s voting record. Meissner’s stand on every
issue is still fresh on the minds of voters in the
13th Congressional District.
The Record-Chronicle believes the cause of in-
dependent, constitutional consideration of domestic
issues would better be served in the election of Joe
Meissner.

In Depth
Dear Sir:
Your Sunday editorial entitled
“There's No Hurry" is just the
type of attitude described so apt-
ly in the article entitled “Some-
times Life Just Happens" in the
October issue of the Ladies Home
Journal. An attitude which seem-
ingly has left out the word com-
passion from its vocabulary, and
an attitude which seems to have
almost forgotten the word human
understanding.
I find it hard to believe that
you have read the article in
its entirety, and yet still assume
tiie very critical attitude that you
evidently do When you said, "No-
body thought of checking the actu-
al people who were getting the
checks," you forgot, I’m sure, to
mention that the writer of the
article was writing about her
country-wide tour during which
she visited the homes of 20 moth-
ers who were receiving aid to
dependent children payments
I would like to suggest to all
those who have not read the ar-
ticle to do so, and gain further
insight into the real problem that
faces this country, the problem of
rehabilitation for those who may
not have been so fortunate in the
circumstances of their lives. I
believe we need an "in depth"
study of these people and their
problems and the problems of the
future generations to come. A
I study that delves deep into their
history in search for the reasons
they have come to depend upon
their fellow citizens for relief. It
is in this way that we will begin
to solve the mounting relief and
welfare problems and also the
taxpayers’ money. It is not some-
thing you can solve with crash
