OPEN LETTER
TO THE EDITOR
LORD, bless now the council
members of this city. Grant us
greater wisdom than Solomon;
greater patience than Job; greater
strength than Sampson; and great
er courage than Daniel.
Help us repair all the city
streets and provide all the muni
cipal services requested by all
our constituents, and without
special tax or fee, help us give an
abundant amount for all public
requests; and after doing all these
things, help us reduce the gen
eral tax rate.
We do not complain of our
duties; we asked for them and we
got them. But, there are times
when malicious gossip starts up
and down Front Street.
Then when our term of office
is through, when we have given
our utmost to the service of the
people, or at any time when the
chips are down; give us the
strength to stand up and take the
criticism of those who have
never lifted a finger for our city.
— Bob Herman
Family of II Die
In Home Fire
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. l/P> — A
family of 11, and possibly 12,
died Tuesday in a fire which
destroyed the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Alex Whitehead in the near
by rural community of Dotson
ville.
Sheriff Kenneth Albright’s of
fice said 10 bodies, most of them
children, were recovered within
a few hours from the smouldering
ing embers. Firemen sought two
more bodies believed to be in
the debris.
“The bodies were burned hor
ribly and could not be identified
when they were recovered,” said
deputy seriff Charles Binkley.
“But most of them appeared to
be children.”
Mr. and Mrs. Whitehead and
their nine children lived in a
five-room log house, along with
Mrs. Whitehead’s father, Albert
Gibbs.
Firemen were uncertain how
the fire started but a neighbor
said it may have been struck by
lightning.

GOP Accuses
JFK of Submitting
Dishonest Budget
WASHINGTON UP> — The Re
publican National Committee ac
i cused President Kennedy Tues
day of submitting a dishonest
! budget to Congress last Friday.
The committee in its publica
tion “Battle Line” declared:
i “There has never been a Presi
dential message quite like the
budget message submitted by
President Kennedy on March 24,
1961. It is a dishonest document.
“The clear purpose of the mes
sage — and of the Kennedy
separation of defense and non
defense spending plans — is to
obscure the simple fact that the
new administration is proposing
whopping federal deficits as far
into the future as forecasts can
be made.
“The budget message must have
..been designed by a man who used
to operate the old shell game at
the county fair.
“Now the budget is balanced.
If one forgets billions in new
spending and reduced revenues.
“Now the budget is unbalanced,
and when it is unbalanced it is
not Kennedy’s fault — it is in
the red chiefly because the Ei
senhower Administration failed to
recommend the Kennedy ex
penditures.”
In his message last week, Ken
nedy forecast two years of red
ink financing for an apparent
combined deficit of $5 billion,
sending the national debt to new
records.
He discarded as “over-optimis
tic” the January budget estimates
of former President Eisenhower,
who forecast a slim 80 million
surplus this year and a $1.5 bil
lion surplus in fiscal 1962, start
ing July 1.
