Lt. Gov. Says He Will Run,
'Nominated, Or Not Nominated'
Speaking of his relationships with Gov.
Edward T. Breathitt, Lt. Cov. Waterfield said
he was still getting along with the governor.
"But," he added, "I don't have as much
to do as I used to."
Further into the question session Lt. Gov.
Waterfield outlined the chances for success of the
current attempt to rewrite the state constitution.
"I think we are headed in the right direction
this time," he said of the present drafting committee working on a revised constitution.
Lt. Gov. Waterfield said that although three
attempts to revise the constitution have failed to
get approval from the voters, each attempt has
received more favorable votes than the one before.
"This time the rewritten version will be
presented to the people as a basis for a convention," he said. "The people haven't understood what the changes would be in the past,"
he went on, and he added, "I think it stands a
much better chance of passing this time."

Lt. Gov. Harry Lee Waterfield revealed at
a Young Democrats Meeting last night that he
would probably seek the governorship of Kentucky in 1967.
In a questioning session after his remarks
on the national campaign, Lt. Gov. Waterfield
said of the governorship, "If nominated I would
run, if not nominated I would run anyway."
He made the statement after he explained
his qualifications of having served six terms in
the Kentucky House of Representatives and twice
as lieutenant governor.
Lt. Gov. Waterfield explained, "If I sit
over the next session of the Kentucky Senate, I
will have served as president protem of that body
more than any man in history."
In his opening remarks Lt. Gov. Water-fiel- d
said it seemed sometimes as if he were stuck
in the position of lieutenant governor. He explained later that he has twice unsuccessfully
sought the governorship while twice he has been
elected to the office of lieutenant governor.

Dr. Marcos Kohly told 30 students participating
in a special seminar last night.
Dr. Kohly said Castro's Communistic views
were evident in 1942 when he killed a schoolmate in dissention between Communist and
student groups.
"Records of the Cuban Communist Party
captured in the Russian Embassy in Cuba showed

that Castro was a

The seminar speaker said also that Castro's
Communistic background was betrayed when the
Cuban dictator led a raid on the Bogota Conference in 194S, setting fire to the building in which
meetings were held and killing several ComHe refuted ideas that Castro had come
under Communistic influence after the revolution,
saying that this particular view held by many
Americans was caused by the work of Herbert
Matthews, a New York Times reporter.
Matthews followed closely tlie Castro over

throw from its early stages in 1952. Kohly said he
is responsible for the initial American sympathy
toward the Castro takeover.
Dr. Kohly traced the overthrow of the
Batista regime and described
social, political, and economic aspects of Cuba.
He attributed the fall from power of Batista
to misuse of power. "Batista suspended the constitution, a democratic constitution, five times
after his rise to power," Dr. Kohly said.
He said the Castro revolt and Castro's
Communist tendencies were known to many of
those close to the situation, including American
Ambassador to Cuba Earl Smith. These people
were ignored by the higher government officials.
Dr. Kohly charged.
In a public lecture yesterday afternoon Dr.
Kohly told about 70 listeners that the United
States is fighting a propaganda war with its
enemies.
He spoke of the need of better preparation
of foreign service personnel and also suggested a
faculty-studeexchange between the University
and various Latin American countries.

Tuesday night and said they
took another man into custody
several hours later.
They withheld the name of
the second man.
Word from informers about

prompted simultaneous raids on
the home of Schmidt and that of
his mother, Nueces County Sheriff Johnnie Mitchell said.
Informers reported there was

saying they would try to obtain
guns from Schmidt, Mitchell

KANSAS CITY AP-S- en.
Barry Coldwater charged today
President Johnson has forced a new delay of a Senate investigation "because Bobby Baker's affairs lead right straight into the
White House itself."
And the Republican presidential nominee found himself in
the middle of a lively word battle with Democrats after an off
the cuff charge Tuesday night that the rival party was "a fascist
organization that will not even allow a member to speak his mind
in favor of a member of the other party."
With election day less than three weeks away, Coldwater
returned to the attack on the Baker case in a prepared speech.
The issue he said Monday, "is hurting the President more than
anything else."
As a springboard for his new charges, the Arizona senator
used the announcement Tuesday by Sen. B. Everett Jordan,
that the Senate Rules committee, which Jordan heads, would
delay its probe of Baker until after the election because of the
difficulty of getting enough senators to come back to Washington
to form a quorum for the committee.

"Scarlet Ribbons," the folk song made popular by The
Browns and The Kingston Trio, tells the story of a little girl
whose father is trying to find her some hair ribbons. The plaintiff strains relate that there are no ribbons to be found. But
as always in the magic world of little girls the hair ribbons somehow mysteriously appear.
Today, any little girl who finds herself with a shortage of
hair ribbons, has only to retrieve them from her big sister.
Hair ribbons in all colors, materials and widths have been
"borrowed" from the three-to-1age group and are now the almost exclusive property of college women.
These
accessories which add a dash of color
to compliment casual outfits can be bought in varying lengths
at the notion counters of department and dime stores.
The most popular materials are velvet and grosgrain, with
madras and wool lengths used to coordinate with specific outfits.
The ribbons and there broader counterparts, headbands,
serve a twofold purpose. While it is obvious that they are an
attractive accent they are a practical addition to the coed wardrobe as well.
To the coed whose hair has not turned out "just right,"
the ribbons and bands can camouflage the setting errors of the
night before. On a windy day they can also serve to keep the
"nerfect" hairdo iust that. . . perfect.
Hairbands and ribbons are part of the natural look strived
for by this year's changes in fashion design.
The youthful look and secure feeling a'hair ribbon or band
gives its wearer is an indication that many more fathers will be
searching cities and towns looking for these pieces for their much
older as well as younger, "young misses."

* When Will They Learn
Another Student Congress Lecture Series has come and gone.
The program was almost perfectly
planned. The speaker had contact
with students in two lectures, a
seminar, appearances before
classes, a talk to girls at Blazer
Hall, and other small discussions.
Students were able to seek information on a personal basis. The conditions were optimum for interchange of information and ideas because of the planning done by the
Steering Committee and the Seminar Committee.
All that was lacking was a
speaker who could make a worthwhile contribution to those who
heard him.
Dr. Marcos Kohly spoke to
several hundred people during his
stay, but we suspect most of them
went away wondering why he had

been brought to the campus.
He spent much of his time
dwelling on lofty platitudes about
the "American Way," the unity of
heart and soul among the people
of the hemisphere, and the nobility
of Motherhood (don't ask why.)
When he dealt with specifics, the
facts were isolated and disunited.
Those who thought that a speaker
on Latin America would give a
consistent overview of the political
and economic situation in Latin
America or the impact of Cuba
on the hemisphere or the imperatives of U.S. foreign policy toward
Latin America were very disappointed. Dr. Kohly did not fill
the role expected of him.
When will Student Congress
learn that no matter how well the
lecture series is structured, its success depends on the quality of the
speaker? It would seem that planners of the series would seek advice
from professors who are knowledgeable in the field to be discussed.
Yet no one approached the Latin
American expert in the History
Department to get his opinion
about Dr. Kohly's qualifications.
In fact, he had never heard of the
man.
After an outstanding initial
series featuring Dr. Huston Smith
in 1963, the quality declined in the
lectures given by John Ciardi last
spring. Now the series has reached
a new low. If it is not greatly improved in the future by bringing a
truly outstanding speaker to the
campus, a potentially valuable program will be needlessly

Heading between the lines in a

quietly resisting all the doctrinaire

Communist China Moving In Africa

invasion of African political and

China. That there will be an increase in this influence is certain.
That it may be checkmated soon

Back of this slow change,
hich will mean increasing diplomatic recognition of Peking by
African nations with, of course,
the establishment of embassies, is
General de Caulle. That austere
man, in his stubborn, arrogant
search for personal and national
glory, sometime ago gave diplomatic recognition to Mao's government.

There began then, in the onetime French colonies in Africa,
a series of "approaches" by the
Chinese. They took the form of
cultural exchanges and suggestions that if aid were needed Peking would be in a receptive mood
to discuss it. President Senghor,
of Senegal, recognized the danger
of the Chinese effort to get a
foot in the African door. He has
remained polite but cool. Other
African nations, all more or less
desperate for economic aid, gave
ear. The Chinese responded.
It now is expected that by the
first of 1965 perhaps three to five

opened diplomatic relations with
the Chinese. The number maybe
large. It likely is not. What is
certain is that the tide of Chinese influence rises in Africa. It
is not, so far as now may be deSoviet

ideological.
ideology has not made any substantial inroads in Africa. But
the Chinese are playing the racial line. They are more patient.
They possess superior under-

standing of African psychology.
They are more subtle and suave
than the Soviets.
It was predicted, when General de Gaulle impulsively
granted recognition to Peking,

that he had set in motion forces
which would, slowly but inexorably, produce many changes in
Europe and the world. One now
may see the beginnings. Certain
European nations, wishing to
participate in trade and watching African nations establish diplomatic and trade relationships,
will follow the French lead.

President

has said
he will go
to Europe and talk with the
leaders. This certainly is the more
sensible approach. These leaders
are themselves involved in their
own national politics. They will
not pay very much attention to a
Goldwater commission report.

But they, as practical men with
realistic problems, can, and will,
discuss them with the President
of this country.
By late autumn or early 1965
the African developments, set in
motion by De Gaulle's precipitate
politics, will be a subject for
direct discussion.

Each passing day makes more
clear that Sen. Goldwater assuredly is not a man for our times.

Dutch Lunch will meet Thursday at 12 noon in the party
rooms of the Student Center
Cafeteria.

There is, in diplomatic circles
here and in London, an understandable increase in fear of Sen.
Goldwater. There is the growing
belief that he is even more superficial and uninformed than was
thought to be the case when he
first became a serious contender
for the Republican nomination.
The senator now has adopted
one of the more naive anil costly
ideas of former President Eisenhower. Mr. Eisenhower said, and
believed, that once he became
President all he had to do was to
"bring the best brains to Washington and put them to work."
All would then be well with the
budget, with domestic and foreign affairs. Mr. Eisenhower appointed many commissions and
committees. They didn't work.
Late in his second four years,
when he had learned that long
drawn out "studies" and "reports" did not always produce the
answer, he turned to the more
direct approach. He was making
plane disprogress until the
aster cut the ground from beneath
his feet and those of Premier
Khrushchev as well.
