Louise Reedy, chapter executive secretary. Guest speaker at the meeting was John B. White of Jackson, general personnel manager for Southern Bell Telephone Company in Mississippi. He discussed the necessity of vitality in Red Cross operations or in the activities of any organization or business, he said, "is the power that an organization demonstrates today that assures its success tomorrow." He noted that "vital people" are necessary to make an organization vital, White listed several danger signs indicating that an organization may be losing its vitality. These included out-of-date methods, failure to set new and greater goals, failure to think reflectively, growth of institutionalism, acquiring a reputation as "a stable but not a progressive" organization, and low tolerance for criticism.

To build vitality, White urged use of research and asking people to tackle tough and challenging jobs. Walter A. Scott, former Jackson mayor, dies at 87 JACKSON, Miss. (AP)-Walter A. Scott, 87, mayor of Jackson for 28 years, died early today.

There he told a cheering crowd that when he retires he will take great satisfaction "in not only being president of my country but a freeman of this city." Cork, Ireland's chief port and second city, staged a rousing welcome for the President. Packed into a hectic 75-minute schedule was a parade through the city, the ceremony making him a freeman and a reception by the city fathers. It seemed as if all of Cork's 80,000 inhabitants had turned out to see and cheer the President. The freedom of Wexford, New Ross, Galway and Limerick also have come or are coming Kennedy's way before his three-day Irish tour ends Saturday, Under medieval custom, this gives the President first claim on a bed in the poorhouse in any of the six towns should he need it. This seems unlikely; his fortune recently was estimated at $10 million.

The President was guest of honor Thursday night at a banquet given by President Eamon de Valera and Prime Minister Sean Lemass in Dublin. Kennedy flies to Britain Saturday for a 24-hour visit with Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. President's- (Continued from Page 1) developed into sharper criticism by two Republican members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Halleck thought that the "recognition of friendship" given the President in Germany "could be important," but he doubted that "the President has added much to our relations with France." Rep. Frances P.

Bolton of Ohio, the ranking Republican member of the foreign affairs committee, said she considered the President's statements about France and De Gaulle "the poorest politics I have seen played by a man who is supposed to know his politics." Mrs. Bolton said such public criticism "was no way to re-win a friend, and we certainly don't need any more enemies." Rep. Peter Frelinghuysen also a foreign affairs committee member, said he thought that the "great impression made abroad" by the President's restatement of policy had "unquestionably exacerbated our relations with France."
