Editorial Boobs—And : Probably one of the most highly respected public f servants the United States has ever employed is J. Ed- gar Hoover, for 36 years Director of the Federal Bureau 5 of Investigation. The high regard in which Mr. Hoover is held, uni- versally, is well deserved. Under Mr. Hoover the FBI E has developed a reputation for complete, immovable, E incorruptible dedication to purpose — which is, quite f simply, to bring to bar violators of the Federal Law. With its solid record of performance and the out- 8 standing high quality of its people, the FBI is, year in p and year out, through one “administration” after } another, a solid rock in our government around which E any citizen can always throw a line, and te which he can always point with considerable pride of owership— f regardless of his political persuasion. | . the FBI to be inde- 1 We have alwaty: consider pendent of politics We can only guess to what exten : (Continued On Page 8) Victor Lasky a nti) JFK -- The Man And The Myth How much do we know about John F. Kennedy, the man in the White House? Less than about any other president in re- cent history, writes Victor Lasky in a controversial series called JFK; THE MAN. AND THE MYTH. Lasky asks some of the questions that have puzzled Americans for several years —— about Kenneds’s health, the influence of Kennedy's father, the convictions, or Jack of them, the President holds — and pieces together the answer from a huge file of facts. This series exclusively in The Examiner wiil undoubtedly be a subject of contraver qin political campaigns to come.

Seibels said: “King’s statement , brands him all the more as a con- temptible liar who will say any~ thing to make his point. If there is any face saving to be done it is up to King and Shuttiesworth. ‘ “#T challenge King to produce ‘any evidence to show that he ‘has ‘inside knowledge that the city ‘plans to add several Negroes to lhe police force in the near future’. “Any discussions concerning any of our present problems will never be with King or Shuitles- worth, and as long as they con- tinue to try to blackmail this city and responsible Negro citizens, then there will never be any real hope for improving race relations. “To follow and endorse the con- Following is the second article trars of Voters and Election Com- temptible tactics of King and in a series by Victor Lasky, ex-|missioners of the Commonwealth. |Shuttlesworth is to aid and abet cerpted from hie forthcoming hook, JFK: THE MAN AND THe MYTH (The Macmillan Company).
