SAN DIEGO SURVEY BACKS PRESIDENT

San Diegans appear to be squarely behind

President Kennedy's blockade of Cuba. Here's what they say:

William G. Sandor, 5224 Canterbury Drive, Kensington: “We're Americans. We have to be behind the President. It has been a little too long. Something should have been done when they started confiscating American property in Cuba.”

Mrs. Sylvia Undersoon, 1171 Naranca St., El Cajon: “We all knew it was coming. It should have been done weeks ago when we found out about the missile bases. It is about time we show the Russians we mean what we say.”

A.P. Molnar, 817 Portsmouth Court, Mission Beach: “I'm glad, man. Glad he spoke up as he did. It is time we took a positive stand. This is like having a Russian missile in your back yard. I don't believe Russia will start a war.”

Mrs. Betty Willett, 1454 La Corta Circle, Lemon Grove: “It was pretty frightful. I think we will be in a war within the next few months.
