tion, Communist-inspired. ' X
2. President Johnson's swift and decisive
intervention in the crisis was necessary to
save American^ lives and tp i-estore some
semblance'of order. There was no time to
t^jy consult or delay. Some 1,400 nationals
—mostly Americansr^were rescued by the
operation.. */
3. While £<ftnmunists did not actually
control the rebellion at this point, a small
cadre of Castro-oriented professionals had
heavily' infiltrated the upper., layers of lead-
ership and threatened to wrest direction of
ie movement from the idealistic amateurs.
4. Allowing the government to fall into
the hands of Communist-trained terrorists
Was to be avoided at all costs. The result
could have been irreversible. The Cuban
experience demonstrates all too clearly that
when Communist functionaries come to
power, there are no more constitutional elec-
tions so long as they remain.
5. The Organization of American States
backed Us even though we probably violated
its charter by our unilateral intervention.
By a vote of 14-5 the OAS approved the U.S.
plan lor art inter-American military force to
over the peacekeeping mission.
6. Having interrupted the course of their
civil war, both the U.S. and the OAS have
assumed a definite obligation to see that the
people of that unhappy little republic are
given the opportunity to have a constitu-
tionally chosen and popularly supported
democratic government of their own selec-
tion. We dare not relinquish our active in-
terest in the area Ufctil this is positively
assured.
7. Once the new government is elected,
.we have a continuing responsibility to help
it in every way to establish and make secure
a free government on Dominican soil—and
one that responds to the needs of the people.
If we have made any big mistakes in all
of this, it was , in our recognition of the
military juntá in late 1063. Our. greatest
danger is that we may again become falsely
identified throughout Latin America with
corrupt, unpopular and undemocratic re-
gimes. We have made too pood a start on
n new day of hope for the hemisphere to al-
low this to happen.
The Alliance for Progress, while it has
not yet fulfilled all the hopes it aroused, has
made a good beginning. The self-help mea-
sures instituted by Latin American republics
are, taking hold and making their effects
felt, even though slowly. We must not let
the momentum die.
Salvation Army Campaign Needs, Our Support
The Salvation Army is Orange County's
oldest welfare organization. It was founded
62 years ago and throughout that period has
carried on a remarkably effective program
of aid foir.persorts who qualify for its help.
During about two-thirds of the lime the
army has been active here it relied entirely
upon, its own resources for financial support.
Since the formation of the Community Chest
and its successor, the United Fund, the army
has had the help of those two organizations
in providing the money for its services.
The post has lopg needed more ample
physical facilities ana now, for the first
time, is engaged in a campaign to raise a
minimum of $100,000 for that purpose. W. B.
Hilliard, longtime civic leader, is chairman
0f the fund-raising drive and has working
with him a large number of outstanding citi-
zens of the county.
The United Fund has approved the cam-
paign. However, it does not provide funds ■
for new construction or property expansion
in any of its agencies. Fund allocations are
for agency operating expenses only.
This means that the entire amount needed
by the army, for its new facilities must be
raised in the special campaign. We hope
that the sum needed will be quickly forth-
coming. The post already has struggled
along for too many years with inadequate
facilities.
Here is a challenge for our community
which can. and .should be met during the
month of July which has been set aside for
the campaign.

Kentucky To wn Stages Poke Salad Festival
By J. CULLEN BROWNING
t
M
There was this Red Cross Grey Lady (and the
Lord bless each and every one of them) who catne
into my room at Bess Schofield's boarding-house
and expresed this reaction of surprise:
"What are you doing her?? This is the ob.
ward."
I was in that particular room at Orange Me-
morial Hospital because, as we have noted often
in The Leader, it's rather crowded these days and
they had no place else to put me when I was
admitted.
And I might add that the service is just as
excellent in the hospital área which is constantly
populated by a dozen or so newborn babies and
their mothers as elsewhere in the building.
Besides, in the periods when one feels like
roaming around a bit there is the extra diversion
of watching expectant fathers as they sweat out
their waiting routines.
My sojourn in the hospital and a brief period of
convalescence following account for the fact that
the column has been out of the paper for the past
two weeks.
The food, as always, was. excellent — the only
complaint in that connection, being that the hospital
dietitian, Mamie Ruth Turner, «ever did include
poke salad on the menu while she was feeding me.
In that connection, the mail during my absence
included a letter and clipping from Dick LeMaster,
both on the subject of poke salad, only he uses the
Yankee spelling "poke sallet." The letter follows:
"Enclosed Is a clipping from a Parkersburg,
W. Va., newspaper concerning a favorite topic
of yourt, poke sallet. It concerns a fesUval and
the homage paid to that delight of your life
which Is now being held in Harlan, Ky.
"My wife, Frances, is visiting her father and
sister in Parkersburg where she noted the article
add thought it might be of interest to you.
"We hope that you find it interesting and that
it adds to your already large fund óf knowledgé on
the subject."
The newspaper article is datollned Harlan and

poke picker* gather hundreds of pounds of the
tenderes! poke shoots, which are last frozen and
stored.
Then, on the big day, Harlan ladies — chosen
for their proficiency in poke preparation — cook
the poke with slabs of streaked sow belly.
It is served on huge platters with boiled eggs,
garden-fresh green onions, cold buttermilk and
corn bread. Seconds are customary.
Poke, an herb indigenous to the Harlan area is
little known to most urban dwellers. But the ten-
der, early growing green was an important item
in the diet of sturdy pioneers. It is still enjoyed in
rural communities.
Poke fanciers attribute many outstanding prop-
erties to poke sallet: they describe it as protec-
tive, preventive and pallative.
According to Ernest Smith, industrial develop-
ment chairman of the Harlan Chamber of Com-
merce and a prime mover of the .Poke Sallet
Festival, poke is a laxative, a spring tonic, a
cure for gout, a blood thinner and a fair remedy
for the seven-year itch.
Smith notes that poke has been used as a pesti-
cide, plant grower, mange cure and rust remover.
Many vow, he adds, (hat it will dehorn cows and
build up water.
It makes an excellent potlikker for country ham
dip and. Smith continued, a most potent potable
known as "poke julep" can be prepared with a
special secret recipe.
Miscellaneous properties ascribed to the poke
green by Smith include its use as a vote-getter and
seasonal job-builder for "poke wardens" and poke
pickers.
Official poke warden for this year's festival will
be Gov. Edward T. Breathitt. Privileges attached
to the poke warden's office include that of "pok-
ing" fun at any and all poke day participants.
Former Gov. Bert Combs hag been designated
as "chieftain of the clan" and will assist Breathitt
in carrying out his official duties.

THESE DAYS
Black Period for Communists
BY JOHN CHAMBERLAIN
The Foreign Minister of Ruri-
tania was on his favorite sub-
ject: the inability of American
"liberals" to see the world as it
really is.
"I see by your papers," he
said, "that there's grumbling
among the liberal pundits that
Lyndon Johnson has bitten off
more than he can chew in try-
ing to hold thei line, against the
Communists around the world.
But have the liberals ever tried"
to imagine what things must
look like these days from Mos-
cow and Peking?
"Why, in Moscow this must
look like the blackest summer
ever. Nothing . is coming up
roses for Kremlin foreign pol-
icy. Here the Soviets are com-
mitted to building defenses for
Hanoi in North Viet Nam. Un-
der their theory of support for
socialist countries they can't
get out of it. But what if, for
reasons of face, they were
ever forced really to defend the
defenses?
"What have they got for war,
with the Gobi Desert and the
Himalayas between them and
the front ^ Hack home in Rus-
sia they've had to put more
money into trying to build up
agriculture to the point where
it can feed the Soviet, peopte.
They've had to restore at least
an imitation of the profit mo-
tive in industry in ord^r to get
anybody to work. What have
they got to spare for anything
more than defense of their own
home power base?
"True enough, the Viet Cong
is giving the United States trou-
ble now that the monsoons are
turning South Viet Nam to
gumbo. But there were no rains
to protect Ben Bella in Algiers.
The new Algerian dictator, Col.
Boumedienne, may be no great
friend of the West, but he's
booted out the Afro-Asian sum-
miteers, he's thrown a monkey
wrench into the Commie Youth
Festival which was to have
been held in Algiers at the end
of July, and he's indicated that
he doesn't want to see his coun-
try run for the benefit of either
Russia or China.
"This must seem downright
ungrateful to Brezhnev and
Kosygin; after all, Russia once
committed a lot of money to
build a steel plant in Algiers.
As for. the Red Chinese! they
had counted on the Algerian
Afro-Asian summit meeting to
bring most of Africa into their
orbit: But now the Chinese find
the Prime Minister of little
Malawi denouncing them for
trying to corrupt the Africans.
"Skipping to the Caribbean,
the Communists thought they
had the Dominican Republic in
thejr pockets. But Lyndon sur-
prised them with those 21,000
Marines. Think of the Shock
that this must have caused in
the Kremlin. And think of what
this must have done to shake
the plans to Fidel Castro. Inci-
dentally, Fidel suddenly seems
frightened of his own shadow.
His revolution is now devouring
its own children. Che Guevera
has disappeared. Fidel has had
to replace his economic plan-
ners, and he's had to sell off
Cuba's cattle, presumably to
pay for his wardrobe of bullet-
proof vests.
"In the Dominican Republic
the hid of the so-called rebels'
to take over the government in
the name of Bosch and 'consti-
tutionalism' has misfired be-
cause the OAS pacification force
happens to be led by Brasilians,
who have had enough of 'left-
ists' who play with Communists.
It now looks as though there
would be a long period of OAS
occupation, with an election de-
fer red until such time as the
Communist question. has been
settled. Really, you Americans
have had more luck than you
care to recogniie "
Us4im HEALTH...

1 AM a student in high school.
I use eye makeup and eye liner.
Every once in a while mv eyes
swell up and become itchy It
dosn't happen to the other
girls Is there
some thing
wrong with
my skin?
Miss P H.
Georgia,
Dear \i i s s
H.: My first
and immedi-
ate reaction to
your question
is to ask one of my own. Why
do young adolescents use eye
shadow, eye liners and other
devices that mask the loveli-
ness of their youthful skin?
The premature overuse of
makeup does not automatically
bring with it the sophistication
that teen-agers so urgently seek.
Now, about your swollen eyes.
You seem to be allergic to
the ingredients in that particu-
lar product. The other girls in
your class do not have similar
eye symptoms because they are
Coleman
not allergic to the makeup.
Allergic reactions of the tis-
sue around the eyes are not
dangerous. The swelling, itch-
ing, redness and discomfort will
disappear if the eye makeup !s
discontinued.
For some strange reason this
similar reaction around the eyes
can occur rather frequently as
a result of allergic sensitivity
to the lacquers of hair spray
and fingernail polish.
There are some non-allergic
cosmetic products which seem
to be inoffensive even to sensi-
tive skin.
Antihistamine drugs are used
to reduce the discomfort of a
sodden allergic attack.

IronicalSituation
In Ironical Wtit
By HAL BOYLE
in' mil iiiiiniiMiiiin I I I
DA NANG, South Viet Nam
(AE) — It was one of the most
ironical situations in a most
ironical war.
"We felt pretty helpless,' ac-
knowledged Maj. George V.
Moore, Jr., «, McCook, Neb.
."We were pinned down, end our
burning planes seemed to be
firing their missiles at us."
It happened during an enemy
attack on the Da Nang base
here, one of the 10 busiest in the
world.
Three of the six U.S. aircraft
destroyed or damaged in the
postmidnight Viet Cong assault
were F102 all-weather intercep-
tor planes commanded by
Moore.
These are 1,000-mile-an-hour
planes kept on perpetual alert.
They carry six Falcon air-to-air
missiles and 12 Mighty Mouse
rockets.
Their job is simple — to
smash from the skies any ene-
my. To do this. they, are re-
quired to get ¿airborne in five
minutes — they have done it in
minutes — and reach an al-
titude of 40,000 feet ip 10
minutes.
In 11 months here the. Fl02s
traveled 1,375,000 miles in storm
and sunshine, bv day and by
night — without finding an ene-
my plane to dare their strength.
The F102 flyers are on alert 24
hours, off 24 hours.
While on alert they arc In an
air-conditioned trailer only a
few steps from their planes. It
Is called "Hell Boulevard" be-
cause every jet plane that roars
off shakes the trailer and éverv-
. thing in it as if it were a leather
cuo full of dice.
The trailer has an entrance
sign saying, "Dogpatch Air-
lines."
When the Viet Cong attacked
at 1:30 a.m. recently, the'first
explosions blew Moore to the
floor. He ran to the door, and
now figures its jammed handle
saved nlj life.
"As I bent over to jiggle it,",
he said, "a fragment burst
through the Window behind me
and smashed through the door
glass above me. If I had been
straightened op—."
He and some 25 pilots and air-
men, following their emergency
orders, raced to two small sand-
bagged shelters while U.S.
Marines and U.S. Air Force se-
curity troops moved m.
For iVt hours Moore and his
men had to stay in-the stooped
and uncomfortable quarters
while exploding ammo and
rockets lit up the night.
"The worst thing,' mourned
the major, "was that some of
the missiles we had been saving
lor so long to fire On the enemy
seemed to explode ami come
toward us." .
Moore, a chunky, dark-eve-
browed man. is typical of the
veteran U.S. Air Force pilots
here. Their Jong experience has
given,them an arid sense of hu-
mor through which shines their
perennial dedication. After 17
years of service — he left in
1945 and was called back in l!>51
— during which he has flown 11
different types of fisrhter hr
bomber aircraft, he still Is ruled
by the simple philosophy of a
Soldier — an eagerness to close
with the enemv
So manv of the veterans over
here are like that
They don't look like fichters,
because they aren't flamboyant.
But they are fighters.

NEW YORK (API - The
search for a new way to settle
international trade transactions
will be a long and probably
stormy one. Involved are con-
flicting national goals and also
strong personalities, such as
President Johnson and French
President Charles de Gaulle
The United States now says
It's willing to set out on the path
— ,but only with, due caution.
And it still doesn't like De
Gaulle's ideas.
Since World War II the inter-
national financial system has
been based on reserves of U.S.
dollars and gold, plus the some-
times shaky British pound ster-
ling. A nation whose imports
were exceeding its export*
could use any of the three to
settle its accounts — if it could
get them.
The United States savs it is
now ready to join others who
have been claiming that in the
future this base won't be
enough, or at least not the best
rible one. UhUl Secretary of
Treasury Henry H. Fowler
over the weekend proposed a
conference to effect a change,
the official American view was
that the danger of a breakdown
in the international monetary
system was remote,
But the clash over how the
nations outside the Iron Curtain
can best do the job is still loud
and sometimes violent.
The United States wants to
protect the value of the U.S.
dollar. And President Johnson
holds that Its value depends
mere on the continuing strength
of the U.S. economy than on its
reserve oí gold that has been
draining away.
De Gaulle wants international
monetary settlements to i>e
based more on gold and less on
the dollar ■*. and wants the
French franc to play a bigger
role. He" has been underlining
his belief by turning In his sur-
plus dollars for gold from the
U.S. Treasury. His views are
far from popular on this aide of
the Atlantic. '
TTie British want to bolster
the pound against repeated spe-
culative attacks and the period-
ic threats of further devalua-
tion. Allied with them are the
nation in the pound sterling
bloc — largely members of the
British Commonwealth and
former members of the British
Empire.
The steadily growing number
of independent but underdevel-
oped'nations are primarily in-
terested in easlar credit and
getting more dollars or pounds
or gold — or whatever interna-
tional currency may be
dreamed utp — to finance their
great backlogs of neéds br am-
bitions.
What ail concerned aeem to
be agreed upon today, aftor sev-
eral years of debate, is that at
the rate that world trade II ex-
panding, the international
monetary svstem must be re-
formed again — and expanded.
