Fortress America
Concept Blasted
By McNamara
Washington, Apr. 8 (AP) — Defense Secretary
McNamara has told congress that American dollars
used by foreign nations to fight communism protect
American lives. McNamara warned the House For-
eign Relations Committee against a return to a so-
called Fortress America concept of defense—saying
it would lead to slow suicide. ’
---
The defense chief testified in
support of the administration’s
foreign aid program.
The administration has ask-
ed for four and one-half billion
dollars in foreign aid. More
than one-quarter of this — or
one billion, 400 millions —
would be used for military as-
sistance for foreign countries.
This program, McNamara as-
I serted, is a vital asset for col-
lective security. He said it re-
duces the risk that the United
States will be compelled to take
■i direct action.
He added: “It is infinitely
cheaper than the price — in
American dollars and Ameri-
can lives — of another Korea-
type engagement.”
The chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, General Max-
well Taylor, told the committee
that South Viet Nam, aided by
the United States, has started
winning its fight against Com-
munist guerrillas.
McNamara told a congres-
sional committee the U.S. is
am watching closely the renewed
fight in Laos. He said while no
U. S. emergency military aid
is now contemplated for the
neutralists he said there is cer-
tain planned U. S. military aid
for them.
New Trustees
To Take Oaths
At Meeting
Two newly elected trustees
of the Sulphur Springs Inde-
pendent School District will
take office Monday night at
the board’s monthly meeting in
its Junior High School office.
They are Dr. Sam Swindell,
who was reelected, and B. F.
Ashcroft, who was chosen for
the place being vacated by
John J. Morris.
The old board will have its
final meeting at the start of to-
night’s session, which begins at
7:30. It will approve minutes
and bills, canvass the returns
from Saturday’s election and
administer the oath of office
to the new members.
The new board then will go
into session to conduct other
business. .Jack F. Gibson, su-
perintendent of schools, said the
group will discuss replacements
for three teachers who have re-
signed and the question of new
uniforms for the High School
band.
Dr. Ray Hanna
Cited for Work
With Board
Dr. W. Ray Hanna of Sul-
phur Springs has been cited
for his role as medical adyiser
with the Hopkins-Delta County
Draft Board.
W. E. (Ted) Bagby announc-
ed Monday that Dr. Hanna had
been presented with a certifi-
cate of appreciation and lapel
pin for his more than 20 years
volunteer work as medical ad-
viser.
The certificate and pin were
forwarded from the Selective
Service headquarters for pre-
sentation to L)r. Hanna.

A challenge to church mem-

Some Progress

Detroit, Apr. 8 —Deputy
Unde rsecretary of State U.
Alexis Johnson contends there
is reason for guarded optimism
thpt the fight against Commun-
ist subversion is making im-
portant progress in South Veti-

whole. In comments prepared
for the Economic Club of De-
triot, Johnson said he did not
want this interpreted as cheap
or- careless optimism or this
would not be jutsified. He add-

state Department has denied a
published report that the Unit-
ed States is maneuvering for a
resumption of diplomatic rela-
tions with Communist Cuba. A
Florida newspaper—the Pom-
pano Beach Sun-Sentinel—re-
ported that negotiations may
be under way for the re-estab-
lishment of such relations with
New Y'ork lawyer James Dono-
van playing an important role.
The newspaper quoted what
it called a “highly placed of-
ficial” in the Castro govern-
ment as reporting to Cuban un-
derground sources in Miami
that Donovan was in Havana to
lay t h e groundwork for re-
sumption of diplomatic rela-
tions. However, the Sun-Sen-
tinel quoted presidential news
Secretary Pierre Salinger as
saying that Donovan is not
working for the US govern-
ment.
Donovan is the man who ar-
some: country and North Vietnamese
I troops were supposed to be
withdrawn.
Rusk, in his speech in Paris,
made it clear he doesn't think
the Communist side has lived
up to its promises.
The pro-Coitimunist deputy
premier used his power of a
veto to reject an appeal by the
neutralist premier for inter-
vention by the international
control commission. The tjyo
men are half-brothers.
Rusk declared the agreement
of last June cannot be realiz-
ed un|ess the Red-led faction
supports the coalition govern-
ment.
The secretary of state de-
scribed the situation as tragic
and deplorable. And he called
on SEATO foreign ministers to
be vigilant for developments in
