It Is an open secret that a

The fact remains that all these
men have been very careful so
far to avoid giving the i'm
preston that they are speaking
for President Eisenhower. And,
whatever they may say, the
slightest hint that the President
did not entirely share their views
would result in something like
a stampede away from the Nixon
bandwagon.
The feeling of unrest in the
delegations has increased in the

At the conclusion of the hear

were confident that the G. o. P
platform would reaff1rm the de-
termination of the United States
to guarantee the integrity of
Israel and of the surround

considered doubtful.

N. G.. Church
Group Urges
Compliance

BURLINGTON, N.C.-The North
Carolina Council Of Churches Fri
day urged all member churches to
accept the U. S. Supreme Courts
decree on segregation.
A spokesman for the council dis
closed that the group, after a two
hour discussion, adopted the report
of a special committee on integra-
ton in the public schools.
Churches were asked to "endeav-
or as fully as possible, in the spirit
of Christ, to realize an integrated
public school system"
The Church Council critized sug-
gestions that a private school sys-
tenn be inaugurated. The CHURCH
Council declared:
Maintenance of our state public
school system is paramount obliga-
ton of the people of North Caro-
lima and any effort to transform
this system into any so-called pri-
vate scheme of schools, regardless
of the motivating considerations,
would inject a tragic cleavage into
our social structure and deprive
our children of their rightful edu-
cational heritage"
Acknowledging there will be pro-
blemS because of the mature of the
case" the Church Council said in
tegration must proceed at vary
ing rates of speed"
Integration should not be at
tempted over night, the churchmen
said, but they added:
"On the other hand, where racial
ratios and other factors render To-
cal situations less complicated,
more rapid progress may be exc
cuted"
The Council declared:
But whether local situations be
simple or complex, we as law abid-
ing citizens should begin, in good
faith, implementation of the Su-
preme Courts decision. Tactics of
evasion are in effect disloyalty to
the supreme law of the land"

Democratic Family Strife

The fact that Democratic Party
leaders have called their full platform
committee into session next Monday in
Chicago reflects their aWareneSS Of the
formidable task they are facing in laying
this foundation for their 1856 campaign.
Four years ago only a technical staff
assembled week in advance of the con-
vention opening, with the final shape of
the platform a subject of bitter contro-
verSy during the convention itself. This
years advance work may not eliminate
convention controversy. But the invita-
ton to submit all points of view in open
hearings gives opportunity for resolving
the major differences within the family.
Broadly speaking, the current divi-
sion centers around the question whether
the party will be committed to platform
and campaign of relative moderation or
to a more extreme liberal" position.
Adlai Stevenson, leading contender for
the party's presidential nomination, APP
pealed for the former when he told the
Democratic National Committee last NO
vember that moderation is the spirit of
the times" For the most part, he has
stuck to that theme since-a circum-
stance that has improved his prospects
of Southern support, particularly on the
civil rights issue. This Southern reaction
has been displayed most recently in
meeting this week of Democratic leaders
of II Southern States to try to secure
"a platform which would be acceptable to
the South and to the Nation Their
admitted objective was to find mutually
acceptable terms for moderate" civil
rights plank.
Meanwhile, there has been continuing
evidence that the leading advocate
among the top contenders-of the Glib
eral' philosophy is Governor Hartman
OF New York. Mr.. Hartman, only long
shot now for the nomination, took quick
exception to Mr. StevenSon's initial re-
mark by saying "there is no such thing
as moderation . in the Democratic
vocabulary" AS in the case of Mr..
Stevenson, Mr.. Hartman likewise has de-
veloped his theme in subsequent speeches.
In this connection 1t IS interesting that
a Hartman spokesman has revealed that
efforts were made to get Senator Kefauver
to join the Hartman liberal camp rather
than withdrawing, as he did, in favor
OF the Stevenson moderate position.
Failing. the Hartman organization has
charged that the Tennessee Senator
gave up on his principles"
This is the nature OF the tight that

Disputes Stokes

On July 5, Columnist Stokes
again dipped his pen into
socialist ink and held forth on
public versus private power.
He drew a direct comparison
between electric rates in New
York State and Canadian cities
without indicating that there
might be reasons for this diff
ference except that some CAPT.
talists are making all the diff
ference in clear profit. He
wrote: There seems no rea-
son why a great country like
ours could not do as much for
its people in reducing electric
utility costs as does Cana
da. ="
Has Mr.. Stokes reviewed the
tax structures. the pay rates,
fuel costs. etc? If there is mo
reason" then, why do the
numerous local rate-setting
authorities and the Federal
Power Commission allow rates
throughout the United States
that are not greatly different
and yet so much higher than
Canadian rates? Does not
Canada subsidize the utility
companies?

Paris Island Spectacle

Shortly after six young Marines had
drowned during a night march into
tidal stream at Paris Island, General
Randolph Nice Pate, commandant of the
Marine Corps, told House committee:
"The Marine Corps is on trial in moral
sense Tin this case) just as much as is
Sergeant McKeon."
General Pate was very helpful wit
ness for Sergeant McKeon when he teSti-
fed Wednesday at the latter's court
martial. But in our opinion he did nothing
to help the Marine Corps.
Reading the accounts of the days
hearing it is little hard to believe that
the court-martial was concerned with the
tragic drowning of six young men. Cen
eral Pate was in fine spirits. He sought
out Sergeant McKeon and wished him
good luck. He exchanged quipS with the
Sergeant's lawyer. When the courts legal
officer asked General Pate if he would
like drink of water, the latter replied:
mo, thanks. Is that the best you can
do?" One Of the charges against Sergeant
McKeon is that he drank vodka in the
presence of a recruit while on duty.
called hypothetical question, based on the
facts of Sergeant McKeons case. The
question was designed to bring out what
General Pate thought would be appropri-
ate as punishment. Over an unsuccessful
objection, and although he acknowledged
that he had not heard the evidence,
General Pate said he would take a stripe
away from Sergeant McKeon for drinking,
forbid him to train recruits again and
transfer him for lack of judgment. The
lack of judgment consisted of marching
his platoon at night into the stream
without knowing how deep the water was,
but being aware that some of the recruits
couldn't swim.
About all that is left is for the men,
bers of the court, headed by colonel, to
reach verdict and. recommend punish
ment, if any. Perhaps they will not be
Influenced by the views of the comman-
dant of the Marine Corps. But we wonder
If this is the same General Pate who told
Congress last May that it was his FIRST
military and moral obligation" to see that
Sergeant McKeon is punished to the full
extent allowed by our Uniform Code Of
Military Justice"
