THE ITERLO INCIDENT
(In tie absence of the By-
The-Way columnist this week,
the following WRAL-TV View
point of Jesse Helms, telecast
January 31, follows:
No matter how, or when- or
if—The Pueblo incident is re
solved, the chilling and depress
ing impression has been estab
lished around the world that
the United States lacks the in
stinctive coinage !,© protect her
own interests, her own property
her own men. The tragedy of
;t is that this was a time of
testing, and we flunked t h e
test.
The Ner\'ous Nellies were in
charge, and it was a humiliating
spectacle to see oar leaders po,
hat in hand, to Russia to ask
that a pood word be spoken for
us with the North Koreans who
seized our ship. What lauphter
that must have rreated in the
Kremlm' Then to the chit-chat
of the United Nations we went,
where the sisue wa- plunped
.nto a whirlpool of meaninpless
words.
Meanwh ba the vv • ; waPh-
ti|, si-nsinp that the Pueblo
seizure wa- a part of commun
>t stratepy to fnvhten t he
United States out of F.ast Asia.
Everybody, :t :-eems. pot the
picture except our leaders in
Washinpton
This is no matter of "hawks
versus “doves”. It is a matter
of national honor. After 24
hours had elapsed, we lost the
opportunity to salvape our
self respect from this particu
lar incident. The most that can
now l< > hoped is that, however
and whenever this incrediable
incident is resolved, we will not
apain hereafter react to timidly
and so belatedly to a deliberate
act of provocation.
In the entire history of the
United States—includinp two
World wars and the Korean
war—only three times have
American warships ever been
hoarded and captured on the
huph seas. Each was taken only
after a heroic defense by its
crew. Until now, no American
skipper has been known to
strike his colors without first
fiphtinp for his ship.
In the war or 1812, British
sailors and marines boarded
and captured The Chesapeake,
an American fripate, after
hand-to-hand fiphtinp. A few
years before that. Barbary pir
ate- had captured another fri
pate. The Philadelphia, after
overpowcrinp the crew when
tie- sin;' ran aeround near
Tr.pol’ And in February 18*>3.

"to work m the lepislative halls

In his announcement, the
Seneca Republican charped that
the Democrat Administration
had forfeited its credibility at
home and abroad. Parker, who
served in the Marine Corps in
World War II, said that the
Democrats have thrust us upo
war and “have neither the
moral courape to take step-
necessary to win nor the diplo
matic skill to achieve the na
lion’s objectives throuph non
military means.”
Accusinp the Democrat- "f

Parker .-aid, "Wo are reapinp

the use of flouride was Dr. E.
M Anderson Jr. Hotli of these
men are local dentists.
Dr. Wiseman pave a number
of reasons why He < ty would
benefit its citizens by floundu
tion. He said “pood health and
an education" are the only
thinp that could h» piveti child
ren. He stated that the addition
of one part per million flouride
added to the municipal water
supply would benefit younper
children and tho.-e yet unborn.
He said the plan had been ap
proved by virtually every
health orpanization in the E.
S., and that over 20 years of
ntudy had been piveti to flour-
jdation, and no harmful effect
has been found.
Spokesmen for two pre-school
mothers groups and at least
one member of the Jayeees
spoke for the use of flouride.
Mayor C. A. Shoal/ Jr. said
no action could be taken at
the meetinp since a resolution
