William Mason, circulation manager for Scottsdale Publishing, is mentioned in a brief newsroom note dated Tuesday January 21 1964.
The paper highlights two front page items from last week noting teen age crime concerns in Phoenix and celebrating Jeff Huber, 18, of 518 Kalarama as Boy of the Year. The editorial frames youth as either well behaved or troubled and praises training and environment for positive outcomes.
The author cites Justice Felix Frankfurter on civilization’s test in how crime defendants are treated. As the Ruby trial nears for Oswald’s murder, concerns arise about press bias, police conduct, and access to counsel. The piece argues all defendants deserve a fair trial and warns of erosion of civil liberties.
Wayne Morse of Oregon reshapes the Senate with delaying tactics and bold amendments in the foreign aid debate. Mansfield’s leadership is praised by some yet criticized for leniency toward Morse, who dominates the chamber and tests the majority leader’s power.
Jacqueline Kennedy plans for a John F. Kennedy Library evolve as the widow weighs how to respond to mass letters and public support. Stephen Smith outlines a three part project combining a library museum and off campus discussion space with an oral history program. Contributions exceed ten million dollars, with donations from the Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Foundation and others while leadership may come from John Kenneth Galbraith.
Don Nivens, writing in the San Quentin Prison News, says inmates are emotionally disturbed personalities not criminals and notes that being caught disturbed them most.
The piece notes Barry Goldwater's path from Senate club member to presidential hopeful, his New Hampshire stance on missiles, and mixed reactions from Republicans. It cites his recent Meet the Press appearance, a heated reception, and critiques from within the GOP about his perceived superficiality and political experience.
A columnist faults Goldwater as erratic on foreign policy and weak on major issues. Republicans worry he may stay in the Senate, while Rockefeller’s divorce harms his bid. If primaries falter, Scranton could emerge as a viable Republican challenger, elevating the national debate.
Republicans warn of Castro linked violence spreading through the Caribbean and Latin America. Dean Rusk notes Cuban agents active in Panama’s unrest and the use of Molotov cocktails and snipers as evidence of Castro terror tactics. The issue is framed as a strategic threat to U S interests.
The speaker condemns Castro's Soviet backed regime as a cancer across Latin America. He urges stronger U S economic sanctions and diplomatic pressure, including a blockade similar to Kennedy's 1962 move, to erase the Castro base 90 miles off our coast and prevent further subversion and violence. The piece questions current policy and asks for firmer action.
