College Students
Urged 70 Take
Greater Interest
In Politics

BALTIMORE, Jan. I6-"instead
Of too much politics on the college
campus, there is not enough" ac-
cording to DR.. James G. Fleming,
associate professor of political
science at Morgan State College.
He deplores the fact that most
students are not interested in the
political parties and shun political
activity, in an interview in the
Morgan College Spokesman. He
continued:
"For the most part, except for
the few persons enrolled in a
course like Political Parties, there
is every indication that students
believe that politics is something
for later on or they are still
clinging to the old-fashioned idea
that politics is something toe
rotten for educated people,"
DR.. Fleming urged that there
should be activity, lively Repub-
lican and Democratic clubs on every
college campus and he refused to
accept the fact that most students
are not of voting are as an excuse
for lack of interest, especially
nowadays when there are signs
that the voting age may be lowered
to 49," he said.
Pointing out the Importance of
political parties in a democracy,
DR.. Fleming declared that There
is no way to maintain our demo-
cratic system without political par
ties"
even when we are not inter
ested in politics as career, there
is a crying need for increasing
thousands of citizens-even mil
lions-who are interested and con-
cerned about political life, pro-
grams and machinery, and who can
'' become the balance wheel, politi-
cally speaking, in the nation" he
stated.
"Whteher it is a matter of keep
ing ones neighborhood clean, get
ting better schools, lowering racial
expressions, or helping bring peace
to the world, politics must sooner
or later be used to achieve the OBJ
jective," Fleming said; mot only
textbook politics, but politics as
the real world knows it and plays
it."

Virginia School
To lntegrate

Arlington, Va, Jan. 16 - The
local school board voted Saturday
to begin racial Indignation in its
elementary schools next fall.
The program was recommended
by Superintendent T. Edward Rut-
ter on the assumption the contro-
versial Gray Commission program
will be enacted into law.
The Gray plan. approved by Vir-
ginia voters in referendum this
week, gives local communities the
option of migrating their schools
or using their funds for tuition
grants for private schooling.
Arlington was the first Virginia
community to consider publicly q
partial program of Indignation.
The school boards policy state
ment said that certain" junior
high schools will be integrated next
fall and some senior high schools
the following year. The program
is expected to be extended later
to the lower grades.

An explicit, considered policy

drawn up promptly.
This warning before the Ma

Of what it believes the Gov

did stress that the present and
planned capacity of colleges,
universities and other post-high
school institutions will be in
adequate in the face of the needs
and the growth in numbers Of
post-high school age.
while there is time" the
committee said, "plans must be
made to provide the needed
|capacity-in teachers, buildings
and funds"
The committee was appointed

Mr.. Joseph admitted to a news
conference that no philosophy of

report nor does it contain IAN

which it (post-high school edu-
cation) can be financed" Mr.

fident there will be no unanimity
But it may be that we will point
the way toward which a Federal

Synamon Rhee Bows

Syngman Rhee, who has feuded ana
fought with both friend and foe, seldom
has bowed to anybody. But, at 81, he has
bowed now to the will of the people" IN
agreeing to run for third term as Presl-
dent of the Republic of South Korea.
When nominated earlier this month by
his dominant Liberal Party, the elder
statesman startled his followers by plead
ing his age and saying, Il do not want 10

IDENTIFY Mr.. Rhees hearing, despite his
years, has been acute enough to detect
the voice of public opinion" and his re-
election is considered a certainty.
Actually, Mr.. Rhee has so dominated
the South Korean political scene since the
end of World War II that picking pop
ular and we'll known successor would be
extremely difficult Most of the repub-
lies ablest military leaders have dis
claimed interest in political life. Lee XII

do in Egypt. It is not surprising, at the
same time. that it should aspire to be
dominant in the community of Arab ma
tions. It is this aspiration, in turn, that
has led to the increasingly sharp rivalry
with Iraq and critical suspicion of the
latter'S association with Britain and Tur-
key, as well as with Iran and Pakistan,
in the Middle East Treaty Organization.
But twisting the lions tail through anti
British propaganda beamed to East Africa,
or batting the French through similar
propaganda directed at North Africa, are
exercises that do not add to the stature
of the Cairo government There are
more constructive and effective ways for
Egypt to maintain its relations with the
free nations of the West.

Maximum Local Taxes

The Senate has repeated the action
of the House in approving legislation in
creaSing local taxes, and authorizing a
higher Federal payment, with minimum
of fuss and feathers No local revenue
bill ever went through the two houses so
quickly The only important difference
between the House bill and the Senate
bill is in the Federal payment. Senator
Morse, with no opposition, got Federal
payment authorization increased from
$22 million to $24 million. The conferees
are expected to settle that difference
quickly.
An authorized increase in the Federal
payment, of course, is no guarantee that
the increase will actually be appropriated.
The House Appropriations Committee
holds the whip hand in that respect. The
test of whether the increase is actually
to be appropriated will come later on.
The important point in connection with
the new and higher local taxes just ap-
proved-regarding which there is no un-
certainty WhatSoever-is that this latest
series of higher taxes taps practically
every source of revenue in town. And
the rates have gone about as far as they
can go.
Unless there is a continuing increase
In the Federal payment, and Senator
Morse was completely justified in his
argument in that respect, the single re-
naming source of any substantial local
revenue is a payroll tax withheld at the
source and affecting all who earn their
living in Washington. We hope that day
is far off Whether it is, however, de-
ponds on the Federal Governments
willingness to meet its own financial
obligation.

Fruyed Tempers

The strained tempers which have
been building up so alarmingly In rela-
lions between the West and much of the
Mediterranean-Mi Middle East area were on
open display in Britain's sharp rebuke to
Egyptian Prime Minister Nasser. 1t is
unusual for one thing, that newspaper
interview with a chief of state should
prompt an official response. 1t is the
more unusual in this case since Colonel
NasSer'S statements to two British news
papers were friendly in tone. The British
response, in effect, was to challenge the
sincerity of the Egyptian leader and to
imply there is little hope for the amicable
relations that he processes to wish. 1t
will be unfortunate for both countries If
that implication should be borne out by
future events .ta
Having chosen to express it's views,
however, the London Foreign Office did
make some points worthy of the Egyptian
governments serious consideration. In
the past two years, for example, the Brit
ish government has moved long way
from it's historic policy of treating Egypt
with condescension or disdain. The agree
ments on Suez and the Sudan did much
to build up the prestige of the young
Nasser government, not only within Egypt
but throughout the Arab world The
British offer to contribute toward financ-
ing the Aswan Dam project improved the
prospects for an undertaking that is a
keystone in Colonel 'Nasser's plans for
social and economic development of his
country Britain has sent military equip
