we pointed out that It was per- fectly logical for Jackie, the indi- vidual, to be perturbed about this dire possibility, adding that we thought he had been a bit ire sponsible in saying so as the most I significant of the Negro players in the major leagues. t...
 We objected also to his tragic comic remark that if anything hap pened, he and Campanella would head right into the midst of the many Negro fans whom they knew would be on hand.
 It was a great source of pleasure to us, therefore, as we'll as some sort of vindication to our stand, that the demonstration accorded Jackie in Atlanta, Ga., despite in flammatory statements of the Ku Klux Klan, was a wholesome and friendly one.
 Reports from Atlanta say that, at the beginning of the first night game between the Dodgers and Atlanta Crackers, there was bit of booing, but that this was rapidly drowned out by rousing cheers from the majority of the 15,OOO fans who were seeing a Negro ana his white teammates playing against whites for the first time in the history of Talmadge-land. Thousands of the fans stood up and applauded Jackie when he slapped a single over the second baseman's head. They were not only Negroes. Many, many of them were whites.
 Despite Dr. Green Dr. Samuel Green, the grand dra- gon of the Klan, must have won dered what was happening, either to the sovereign, white supremacy state of Georgia, or to the once great power and influence of the white-sheeted boys. Green had stated that he was in receipt of some 10000 pledges from persons who had promised never to attend another game at Ponce De Leon Park if Robinson played.
 "Believe me-" Robinson stated

plane at the Macon airport two white girls came over to him and in deep southern drawls asked:
 Please MT. Robinson may we have your autograph ?"
 We too, are thrilled and we think that perhaps this experience may teach Bobby that his greatest good is accomplished when he keeps such opinions as those he expressed prior to the Dixie tour - strictly to himself. Certainly, it takes cour- age and forbearance, but that's the price a Jackie Robinson has to pay for being more than just great ball player - for being an import ant symbol who is actually mak- ing all kinds of history and whose every word and deed are carefully noted.
 Hats off to Jackie. His expressed reaction to what happened in Dixie sounds more like the Jackie Robinson we've always admired.

 Athletes often break down some seemily impossible barriers. "Lou'' Montgomery has made his contri- button to our society and will con- tinue.

suggested, therefore. that sub
committees for planning related
to specific functions be established
under the fifth group.
Only the three-power Stand
ing Group" of the Military Com
mittee was assigned a permanent
headquarters by the council. 1t
said this body should function
continuously" here.
The council itself, the policy
body to which all the other groups
will be responsible through the
Defense Committee. decided to
meet normally once a year in con-
junction with the United Nations
General Assembly. Extraordinary
sessions may be called at any
time anywhere.
The Defense Committee also
will meet normally once a year,
wherever its members shall de-
eide is convenient. The council
said the Military Committee nor
mally should meet in Washing
ton.
Bradley May Be Selected.
RECOGNIZING Importance of pro-
duction. supply, economic and
financial factors in defense plan
ming, the council assigned work
ing groups" to make detailed rec
concentrations for establishing ad-
equate machinery to consider these
matters.
Oficials said the American
member Of the important Mill
tary Committee has not been Sc
lected yet. Presumably he would
be Gen. Omar Bradley, chairman
Of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
It was emphasized that none OF
the committees or planning groups
set up by the council can make
decisions binding on the United
States or other governments con-
cerned. They can only make rec
concentrations to the respective
governments.
In its communique, the council
stressed that the basic objective
Of the whole treaty machinery is
to help maintain peace by making
clear the determination Of the AL
lied nations to defend themselves
against aggression.
Russia Mentioned Only Once.
Although the need for unified
defense plans obviously is against
a. possible attack by Russia as
the only potential aggressor at
Evening star., 1949-09-18

ming the defenses in the North
Atlantic Ocean cannot be shared
equally by all members Of the
group. On the other hand, these
responsibilities can to some ex-
tent be divided along functional
lines and allocated to those parties
who are best able to perform
the respective defense functions.
Therefore. the North Atlantic
Ocean Regional Planning Group,
when it meets. should establish a
series Of planning sub-groups
related to specific functions of
defense. The group should deter
mine on which sub-group or sub
groups each party should sit. and
the arrangements necessary to in
sure coordination between these
sub-groups in the interest of
speedy and effective planning.
Terms Of Reference.
Each Regional Planning Group
should:
Develop and recommend to the
Military Committee through the
Standing Group plans for the de-
tense Of the region:
Cooperate with the other re-
gional Planning Groups with a
view to eliminating conflict . in,
and insuring harmony among, the
various regional plans.
.,.-. Location.
The Defense Committee should
consider the question of the loca-
tions Of the Regional Planning
groups.
VII.
The council recognizes that the
question of military production
and supply is an integral part of
the whole problem of the defense
Of the North Atlantic area.
Consequently, there shall be es-
|tablished as soon as possible ap-
propriate machinery to consider
these matters. The details of
organization Of this machinery,
terms of reference, etc., shall be
studied forthwith by q working
group which shall submit recon-
mendations to the Defense Com
mittee or to the council.
Viii.
The council recognizes the i'm
portance Of economic and finan-
cial factors in the development
and implementation of military
plans for the defense of the North
Atlantic area. Consequently,
there shall be established as soon
as possible appropriate machin-
cry to consider these matters. The
details Of organization of this
machinery. terms Of reference,
etc., shall be studied forthwith
by a working group which shall
submit recommendations to the
council.

and that incidentally.
One council member was said
to have remarked at conclusion
OF the Commute session that if
Russia had been participating it
would have taken years to &C
complish the same amount Of
work, recalling the obstructive
tactics of Soviet delegates In other
international meetings. This re-
mark was passed along to re-
porters without identification of
the man who made 1t.
