IN MEMORIAM
In Memory of James Cooper
who passed away two years
ago June 17, 1965.
You cannot say, you must
not say
That he is dead. He is just
away
With a cheery smile
and a wave of the hand
He has wandered into an un
known land
And left us dreaming how
very fair
It needs must be,
since he lingers there;
So think of him faring on, as
dear
In the love of There as the
love of Here,
Think of him still
as the same, and say
He Is not dead, he Is just
away.
Wife, Marie Cooper,
Children,

And Grandchildren.

GOP Task Force
Critical Os
Sen. Talmadge
ATLANTA (UPI) — Charging
that Sen. Herman Talmadge,
D - Ga., has blocked reforms,
a Republican ‘‘task force” re
ported Friday on what it called
"carelessness, ignorance and to
a lesser extent, downright dis
honesty” which has marred
Georgia elections.
The report, released at a
news conference, accused some
unnamed counties of tampering
with elections.
The GOP report said reforms
were badly needed and blamed
Talmadge for stopping an at
tempt to introduce an election
reform bill in Georgia.
If the Democrats who con
trol the legislature do not work
for a revision of election laws,
then they must take full re
sponsibility for Governor Mad
dox and those of his kind who
will follow if present laws are
not modified,” the report said.

YEAR OF CONTINUED

Open Market
Is Criticized
SEA ISLAND, Ga. (UPI) —
Rep. Bassil L. Whitener, D-
N.C., warned Friday that the
gold drain will continue unless
‘‘there is an immediate change
in our national approach to
world trade.”
Whitener attacked “the vir
tual open market” which for
eign textiles enjoy in the Unit
ed States and called for “a re
turn to sanity” in U.S. trade
policy.
“We have seen our gold re
serve go from $23 billion in 1952
to $lO billion in 1966,” Whitener
said.
Speaking at the 42nd annual
convention of the Combed Yarn
Spinners Association, the North
Carolina Democrat said practi
cally every nation which ships
textiles to the United States al
so does a flourishing business
with Communist nations.
“In 1965, our nation did al
most S3OO million in trade with
Communist nations,” he said.
“During this same period, trade
between some of our so-called
friends and communist and sa
tellite nations amounted to $15.8
billion.”
He concluded “we are afford
ing nations engaged in active
trading with our communist ene
mies a virtual open textile mar

Hanoi Believed
Hinting At
Peace Talks
American diplomats generally
agreed today that recent official
statements from Hanoi fore
closed the possibility of Viet
nam peace talks in the
immediate future.
Despite the gloom, Secretary
of State Dean Rusk reiterated
the U.S. desire for talks and
indirectly asked North Vietnam
to respond with some signal
that it was ready to negotiate.
Rusk will get a fresh chance
to persuade the Soviet Union to
use its influence with Hanoi in
arranging a peace confernce.
The secretary of state conferred
in Washington Friday with
Soviet Ambassador Anatoly F.
Dobrynin, and the Russian
diplomat announced that
Foreign Minister Andrei Gromy
ko would meet with Rusk in
New York toward the end of the
month.
Gromyko arrives in New York
Monday for the opening session
of the U.N. General Assembly.
In a related development,
Sen. Joseph S. Clark, D-Pa,
said Friday that U.S. Ambassa
dor Arthur J. Goldberg will
confer with Gromyko on the
possibility of a U.N. Role in
arranging some kind of a
Vietnam conference. Clark
spoke at a U.N. news confer
ence.
North Vietnam has said many
times that the United Nations
has no right "to interfere” in
the conflict on any level.
At a news conference Friday,
Rusk and other U.S. officials
firmly discounted the accuracy
of French news agency reports
from Hanoi that North Vietnam
was showing signs of moving
toward peace talks. The Ameri
can diplomatic community took
the view that the Hanoi position
was in fact hardening, and this
received some confirmation
today from a Filipino newsman
in the North Vietnamese
capital.
