Southern Governors
Cool Toward Move
To Bolt Democrats
Thompson~of Georgia
Drufts Resolution
Opposing WoIkout
By the Associoted Press

WAKULLA SPRINGS, Fla,
Feb. 7.-Southern Governors
with a notable lack of enthu-
siasm today awaited a call from
Mississippi's Gov. Fielding l..
Wright to bolt the national Dem
ocratic Party.
A Southern Governors conference
which opened here today was called
primarily to discuss ways and means
of providing graduate level educa-
tion for Negroes in the region, but
quickly developed into political
forum.
The Governors moved calmly into
a discussion of education, however
without mentioning officially the
explosive issue of Democratic
Party split.
After, brief statements by Chair
man William Preston Lane, jr., of
Maryland and Gov. Millard Cald-
well of Florida on the aims of re-
gional education, the conference
went into executive session.
COnSultants Are Present.
Sitting in with the Governors as
consultants on the racial problem
in education were several public
school officials, college presidents
and other educators.
Gov. Wright, angered by Presi-
dent Trumans stand on matters
pertaining to racial segregation. the
anti-lynch law and the Fair En-
ployment Practices Commission, told
Gov. NJ E. Thompson of Georgia
last night he would introduce a
resolution calling for formation of
an all-Southern party.
Counter Resolution Ready.
Gov. Thompson then showed Gov.
Wright an advance copy OF
sharply -worded statement con-
demning party bolt.
WELL said Gov Wright coldly,
Il see you are against me-
Yes" Gov. Thompson replied,
"and we're going to beat you
The Mississippi Governor said he
would introduce the resolution any,
how.
Even Gov. James E. Folsom of
Alabama, candidate for the pres
idential nomination, said, Il am a
Democrat. Well argue it out within
the party. Ill always support the
Democratic nominee"
Both Gov. Folsom and Gov.
Thompson said they believed Pres
ident Truman's civil rights recon-
mendations "unWiSe"
Other Governors Cool to Idea.
Gov. Strom Thurmond of South
Carolina and Gov. Beauford Jester
of Texas refused to comment on
Gov. Wright's call for a Southern
party, but intimates who accom-
panied them said they were cold to
the idea.
Even as the conference awaited
Gov. Wright's resolution, the Jack
son (Miss.), Clarion-Ledger re-
ported the Governor would call an
all-Southern convention March /,
to select presidential nominee.
The paper also said Gov. Wright
would ask the Mississippi Legisla-
ture for 100000 to finance such
convention.
Gov Wright confirmed that he

teristic of Soviet policy since the Iran
affair has been steady retreat cover
ed by barrage of noisy speeches
AT the same time official Washing
ton realizes that with the adoption of
single Soviet currency in Berlin, the
city will become an economic part Of
the Soviet zone. If separate govern
ment is set up in western Germany at
frankfurt, the western powers will
have to make their headquarters there
rather than in Berlin.
How far this realization has spread
may be gathered from long article
IN the Washington Star, October "a,
by Constantine Brown, who has the
capitals best pipelines into the State
and War Departments, and often
speaks for their dominant circles.
Brown pictures Berlin as an economic
liability and military death trap"
AT this time when, in the eyes of

Let's Flip A Coin Over Berlin Question :.

the blockade would follow the intro
duction of single currency. Why not
flip for it?
1t is true that there are subsidiary
matters to be ironed out. Stain agreed
to four-power supervision over the
Berlin currency; the details are yet
to be decided. Some way must be
found to provide currency control over
commercial passengers arriving in
Berlin by air, without depriving the
western powers of their one independ-
ent access to Berlin.
But these subsidiary questions have
to be settled in any case, and one way
to make sure of settlement would
be to let both sides pick an arbiter en-
powered to decide remaining disputes.
[ suspect these, too, would soon get
down to the coin-flipping level.
The Berlin dispute is given an air
of unhealthy because both sides are al
ready planning withdrawal, the Rus
slams from eastern Germany, the west
ern powers from Berlin.

Timing Involves Prestige
The western powers do not wish
to appear to be negotiating the. cur
rency change under duress. The Rus
slams do not wish to appear to be CIV
ing up the blockade under information
al pressure. That is why the question
of who gives first is so important to
both sides.
The difference is a question of
timing. The question of timing is a
question of prestige. The best way
of handling question of prestige is
by leaving it to chance. To lose in
gamble is to suffer no loss of face.
If this were a quarrel between
children, the natural impulse would be
to settle it by tossing a coin.
The neutrals of the Security Coun-

By [. F. STONE, New York Star
The crisis headlines have served
to distract attention from the wide
area of agreement reached in the Ber-
lin dispute between the Russians and
the West.
Let us itemize the points of agree
ment The Russians are agreed that
the blockade will have to be lifted.
The Western powers are agreed that
the western ''B" mark will have to be
withdrawn from Berlin Both sides
agree on a new four power ministers
conference on Germany.
These basic points of agreement
did not exist earlier The airlift and
the counter-blockade have been sue
cessful enough to make the blockade
costly to the Russians. The impracti-
cability of having two currencies in
one city has been demonstrated. Since
Berlin is in the heart of the Soviet
zone it is admitted that the Soviet
mark will have to be used.
The essential difference of opin-
ion now is whether the lifting Of the
blockade and the withdrawal of the
western zone mark are to be stimuli
taneous or not. The Russians at one
point in the Moscow talks suggested
simultaneous action. The proposal
vetoed by the Russians. at Paris called
for lifting the blockade Immediately
