ARMED FORCES DAY—)9€0. This eleventh annual observ
ance. May 14-22, will again afford all our citizens and
our free world friends an opportunity to become better
acquainted with the men and women, the weapons and
equipment that provide the POWER FOR PEACE for our
Armed Forces.
ARMED FORCES DAY started in May of 1957,
When the President of the United States, by
Proclamation, directed the Secretary of Defense and
the Secretary of the Treasury to arrange each year
for appropriate observance of such a day.
This annual program imposes a responsibility
upon the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, Marine
Corps, Coast Guard, and Reserve components, to give
the public at home and abroad the best possible
opportunity within the limits necessarily imposed for
security reasons, to become well informed on all
aspects of our national strength and its relationship to
the security of the Free World.
Nome is fortunate in having, among its military
personnel stationed here, Major Larry Flanagan of the
Army Advisory Group, Alaska National Guard, who
has taken the initiative in having an outstanding
program planned for May 18.
The community has offered its wholehearted sup
port to his pllan, with civic organizations shouldering
responsibility by extending hospitality to our visitors
for that day. Business houses and the school are also
cooperating to make this a holiday to be remembered
'-throughout the year. This is a good opportunity to
proudly wear our patriotism, by displaying the
American Flag in front of homes and business houses.
Candidates Fashion
Campaign Views
Senator John F. Kennedy, cam
paigning in Maryland, took an
indirect dig Saturday at former
Prseident Harry Truman’s en
dorsement of Sen. Stuart Syming
ton for the Democratic Presiden
tial nomination.
Kennedy told an early morning
meeting in front of the Havre De
Grace .City Hall he would rather
go to the Los Angeles nominating
convention “with the endorse
ment of the people than any poli
tical figure.”
And gibing again at those who
seek the Presidential nomination
but balk at entering the primaries
— such as Symington — the Mas
sachusetts Senator said:
“I don’t see why candidates
now in bed should secure the nom
ination while we are out here
working.”
Symington, meanwhile, con
tinued to campaign in his own
fashion — swinging about the na
tion speechmaking and meeting
people.
In Brunswick, N. J., he spoke
at the Rutgers University Insti
tute of Management and Labor
Relations, saying “It is inexcus
able that this country should be
crippled by national policies of
economic scarcity. An able and
active President would never
countenance such policies,” and
added:
“We need a profound change
in the Presidential concept of na
tional responsibility.”
Vice President Nixon, almost
certain to be the Republican Pres
idential candidate, gave reporters
in Hot Springs, Va., some clues
of how his 'campaign views will
be pitched.
Nixon said that Congress should
be able to consider tax reform in
1961 if the government shows a
large surplus and is meeting its
national security responsibilities.
He said, any tax legislation should
be shaped to stimulate invest
ment, reduce some excise rates,
and cut higher bracket income
taxes.
But Nixon said he does not at
any time in the Presidential
campaign intend to promise tax
reduction in view of international
uncertainties. The Vice President
said his own program has not been
settled. Nixon said, however, he
would favor rapid action to lib
eralize credit and expand the
money supply, but would shun
massive government spending as
a cure.

South African Police Pull
In Youngsters Protesting
Arrest of Parents
By RICHARD KASISCHKE
JOHANNESBURG, South Af
rica, (A1) — More than 20 white
and black youngsters were ar
rested Saturday while demon
strating outside Johannesburg’s
City Hall against the jailing of
their parents under South Africa's
emergency laws.
The children were bundled into
police vans and taken to jail for
questioning.
They ranged from small chil
dren to 17-year-olds. Later they
were released separately and told
to go home.
They had lined up on the steps
of the City Hall holding up plac
ards declaring: “We want our par
ents’’ and “Why are you keeping
my mother and father?”
The youngsters’ parents are
among the 1,700 adults of all races
jailed in South Africa as suspected
political subversives. Emergency
regulations proclaimed to combat
racial violence allow them to be
detained indefinitely without trial.
CONFESSION ...
FALLS CHURCH, Va., OP)—The
The Vatican’s apostolic delegate
to the United States, Archbishop
Egidio Vagnozzi, recalls \hat in his
childhood he “had a tendency to
be somewhat wild.”
As a result, he told a Sodality
meeting Sunday, he was frequent
ly well spanked by his parents.
“In fact,” he said. “My mother
once said to me, ‘I pity the poor
woman who will marry you.’
“But, as you can see, Almighty
God took care of that.”
