Four Apprehended In County Break-Ins A series of breaking and entering cases in Rappahannock County have been solved by county authorities, and three men and a woman have been charged with the crimes. Arrested [are Sdas Woodward, 27 ; Archie J. Clarke, 27 ; Roy Lee Burracket, JX; and Sue Riley, 19, all of Baltimore, Md. The bre;<k-ins which began in August, included Atkins Store in Sperryville where $1()0 in cash was taken; VVoodville Post Office where an adding machine and clock were stolen; Rappahannock County High School was entered twice; first time $71 in cash was taken and the second time typewriters and record players valued at over $1,000 were missing; Russell Brothers Garage at Flint Hill was also entered twice and $20 in cash and merchandise taken the first trip. The second time the safe was opened and about $170 in cash taken. The Elementary School at Sperryt ille was entered, but nothing was removed as far as could be ascertained. According to Commonwealth's Attorney, George H. Davis, Jr., the foursome may also be connected with recent break-ins in Warren County. The group has admitted the thefts but all were not involved in each robbery. Woodward was already in jail in Luray when the last one occurred, says Mr. Davis, and only Clarke and the girl entered the countv high school the second time. The first break in the case came when Woodwaid reported his car, a 1953 Mercury, had been stolen.' The license plates from the car were found on a Pontiac driven by Clarke, when he was stopped by authorities in the vicinity of Washington, D. C. Clarke stated that the automobile had been given him for use in the robberies.

Actually most accidents can be prevented and as the saying goes, "The life you save can be your own.” To say the least, it will be interesting to learn whether men meet with more accidents than women or vice-versa. Are you more subject to an accident at 14 or 40 years of age? Where and when do most accidents occur in Rappahannock.'' Also, do they happen most to people in. or out of our labor force; mor to fanners or to housewives, Continued on page tuo NOTICE A Republican Rally will be held Saturday, November 5 at the high school ip Warrenton, Va. beginning at 6:30 p.m. Farm Bureau Meets Gen.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia T E LE P HO N e7w AS hTnGTON28B 1 IL C. BURKE, JR. Owner I. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered as Second Claas Mail at the Poet Office at Washington, Ve. SUBSCRIPTION (in advance).$2.60 PER YEAB The Political Choice Vice President Nixon recently stated: “At the present time, Communist prestige in the world is at an all-time low and American prestige is at an all-time high.” But a report of the United States Information Agency completed October 10, 1960, shows that this country’s five major friends in Europe now have become increasingly convinced that the Soviet Union’s space feats presage a Conpnunist trend to be best in everything. Senator Kennedy contends this image of America should be improved. For this Vice President Nixon accuses him of irresponsibly running America down. Mr. Nixon has further accused Kennedy of “a despicable, win-at-any-price effort to convince America it is about to suffer a recession.” However, 3.4 million unemployed people and their families feel the recession is already here. A few statistics supply further evidence. ’Gross national product was downi$2 billion in the last three months; the index of industrial production has dropped from 111 to 107 in nine months; steel production has been barely over 50% of capacity ; and new claims for unemployment benefits have recently been 50.090 to 125.000 above the average of the past three years. Senator Kennedy believes it is these facts and not his words which have been running America down. While Nixon and Lodge have emphasized votes in the United Nations and talking tough to the Russians, Kennedy and Johnson have stressed the actual course of world events from the first Sputnik through the U2 debacle, the Paris summit failure, the Japanese humiliation, and most recently the Cuban crisis. Vice President Nivon has now announced that, if elected, he will immediately send Mr. Lodge to Geneva to resume disarmament negotiations and he himself will try to visit all the Eastern European countries to “carry the message of freedom into the Communist world.” Senator Kennedy has replied that the first task of the next President should be to strengthen America rather than to tour the Communist world. Senator Kennedy and the Democratic Party have presented a program designed to do at home and abroad those things which must be done if we as a nation are to provide a better future for our citizens at home and an appealing example of freedom and democracy to the citizens of the world. The issue before us is whether or not our country can afford to do what it should be doing in defense, inToreign affairs, in education, in programs for the aging, in medical care in housing and in the development of our natural resources.

EXTRA - EXTRA By Ed Halloween apparently was very quiet in Rappahannock. There were lots of folk out trick or treating, but aside from a little window soaping, I haven’t heard of any mischief done. Don’t know whether the Rappahannock News is so well liked or whether we are just jnot worth bothering with, but our windows were left untouched while those all around us got a good soaping. I am sure ours needed washing worse, too. Election! Election! Election!— that has been the constant topic of conversation ever since the end of the World Series. We hear it discussed endlessly. When a certain attorney here in town, who is promoting Kennedy, was asked by a Nixonite if he wanted to see the Pope in the White House, prompt-1 ly replied, “I’d prefer to see the Pope than the Devil!”.Ouch. • * * • It is gratifying to know (and probably everyone feels a bit safer) that the gang who has been doing all of the breaking and entering of many business establishments, has been rounded up and jugged.

Paid Political Advertisement KENNEDY’S PLAN TO HUMILIATE THE SOUTH NEGRO FEDERAL JUDGES Kennedy, (lie candidate ol the NAACP, promised the % National Bar Association (a Negro group) as follows: "With more than 4,000 Negro lawyers in this country there are many outstanding Negros from whom to choose future judges. President Truman led the way is appointing the first Negro life-time federal judge, and the first Negro on the Court of Appeals. But the fact that only one other Negro has been appointed as a life-time federal judge shows how far we still have to go in making our judiciary representative of the best of all our people. "I assure you that in a new Democratic adminns- , fration there will be far better representation, on the basis of merit, of persons of all our racial groups, including particularly those who in the past have been excluded on the basis of prejudice.1' (The State, 9/3/60). RADICAL CIVIL KIGhTS PLEDGES Kennedy has also pledged to enact and impose upon the South, through Federal Courts, the most punative civil rights program since Reconstruction. He has solemnly pledged: 1. To force every Southern school district to desegregate by 1963. 2. To eliminate by Federal law all poll taxes and literacy tests so that any person can vote regardless of whether he can read or write. 3. To provide for all races access to "all areas ol community life" (churches, clubs, societies, and homes). 4. To pass "Title III" which will authorize the Attorney General to bring integration suits in the name of the United States. 5. To curtail the historic powers of the House Rules Committee which, under Representative Howard W. Smith of Virginia, has been a restraining influence on radical legislation. 6. To enact a Federal FEPC, which would force employers to hire persons of all races. THE COMPANY KENNEDY KEEPS Roy Wilkins, Adam Clayton Powell, "Soapy" Williams, Walter Reuther, Jimmie Roosevelt, Oliver Hill, the NAACP and the ADA are vigorously backing Kennedy and Johnson and their radical civil rights plan. VIRGINIANS IN STRANGE COMPANY It is distressing to see certain Virginians, led by Governor Almond and Francis Pickins Miller, working for candidates more hostile towards the South than any since Reconstruction. They tell you there is nothing to choose between the candidates - - but the NAACP and ADA know better. So do Wilkins, Powell, Reuther, Roosevelt and Hill. THEY ALL CHOOSE KENNEDY! THE CHOICE IS YOURS! If you want 1. all schools desegrated by 1963, 2. the other radical proposals set forth above, 3. Federal judges from "all racial groups" to implement this plan to humiliate the South - - then vote fot Kennedy, with the NAACP and the ADA.

The one ’61 car built to back up a long-term warranty Ford led the way with the one car beautifully built to take care of itself. . . and you On September 29, Ford Dealers set an industry trend—were first to extend their 1961 car warranty from the conventional 4,000 miles or 3 months to 12,000 miles or one full year, whichever comes first. Why? Because Ford built tbt ont car to support such confidence. Ford for 1961 is the ont car beautifully built to take care of itself 1 The ’61 Ford was designed and built to the more exacting standards necessary to offer an extended warranty. Ask to see this warranty at your dealer's. It is significant that Ford has so many t>ke-care-of-itself features not found in other cars, regardless of price. These new Ford features are a triumph of exhaustive research, fine engineering, and quality construction that give you the most reliable Ford ever built. Drive a '61 Ford soon. HERE'S HOW THE ’61 FORD TAKES CARE OF ITSELF Lubricates itself—You'll normally go 30,000 miles between chassis lubrications. Then a quickjt inexpensive Ford Dealer lube job (which costs about $4.00*) will get you set for another 30,000 miles. Cleans its own oil—You’ll go 4,000 miles between oil changes with Ford’s Full-Flow oil filter. Adjusts its own brakes—New Truck Size brakes adjust themselves automatically for the life of the lining. Guards its own muffler—Ford mufflers are double-wrapped and aluminized—normally will last three times as long as ordinary mufflers. Protects its own body—All vital underbody parts are specially processed to resist rust and corrosion, even to galvanizing the body panels beneath the doors. Takes care of its own finish—New Diamond Lustre Finish never needs wax. on 18 minutoi* frvic* at today’i national avoraga labor cojli 61 FORD F0*0 DIVISION.

Paid Political Advertisment EXPERIENCE COUNTS! RICHARD NIXON Eight years’ experience in the President’s Cabinet... in The National Security Council ... in the United States Senate No other man in our history has been as well prepared for the Presidency as Richard Nixon. Working closely with President Eisenhower, he has learned first-hand the intricate duties of the Nation’s highest office. As the most active Vice President ever, he has proven time after time, at home and abroad, that he has the skill and the courage to solve any challenge that may arise. Richard Nixon does not have to grow up to the job. He has lived with it for right years. And because experience counts, Richard Nixon is America’s chief hope in the critical years ahead. / HENRY CABOT LODGE Seven years’ experience as United States Ambassador to the United Nations... “America’s Voice to the World” There is hardly a man alive with a better working knowledge of Communism and its threats than Henry Cabot Lodge. As America’s highly respected spokesman at the U. N. for the past seven years, the Communist challenge has been his primary concern. And time after time, in his forceful and articulate manner he has thwarted Communist attempts at world domination. There can be no more important issue than world peace. And once again, because experience counts, Henry Cabot Lodge «s Richard Nixon’s perfect partner for peace. Vote for NIXON and LODGE: they understand what peace demands

0 Vote Democratic Leadership for the 60’s In 1953 the United States stood as a towering head of world-wide power and respect. We had unrivaled strength, firm prestige, strong and dedicated allies, wide-spread good will and, above all, a positive foreign policy program. We had borne the great burdens of the rehabilitation of the depressed countries of Europe and Asia. We had helped to develop strong democracies in former enemy countries and had helped former colonies achieve their burning desire for independence. We had stood firm in the face of communist aggression and had stopped it cold. These achievements were brought about wider a Democratic administration but were genuinely bi-partisan. Compare our position then with the present. Insure a rebirth of this type of leadership for the critical 1960’s. KENNEDY JOHNSON, I Democratic Campaign Committee—William C. Battle. Campaign Chairman; Garland Harwood. Campaign SwntVf . A Time for Greatness “Courage, not complacency is our need today-leadership, not salesmanship. We stand at a turning point in history. We must prove all over again whether this nation or any nation so conceived can long endure, whether our society with its freedom of choice, its breath of air, its range of alternatives, can compete with a single-minded advance of the communist system. Are we willing to match the Russian sacrifice of the present for the future? Or must we sacrifice our future to enjoy the presen That is the challenge our nation must face.” J. W.
