Contempt Charges

PEELED to submit to Jim Crow
like an ordinary criminal his
resentment is natural.
If he stands up before a
Congressional committee and
tells its members what colored
people are saying all over the
nation with reference to Sc
gregation, disfranchisement
and discrimination on account
of color, he's only doing in
Washington what's being done
in the ret of the United States
by red-blooded Americans,
white and colored.
If he becomes emotional in
doing it, or even intemperate,
the EastlandS and the Tai
madgeS and the Byrneses and
the White Citizens Council
have certainly given him pro-
vocation enough.
If the House wants to make
a martyr of him, 1t is welcome
to do it.
But we aree with Mr.. Ro-
beson that its members, could
more proftably spend their
time passing civil rights mea-
sures and bringing in for
questioning such un-American
elements as those white SUI
premacist and manifesto sig
ners who have pledged them
selves to defy an evade the
very Constitution they had
previously sworn to uphold
and maintain.
We are not Communists, nor
de we follow the Communist
line.
Moreover, we do not approve
Of some of the activities and
statements attributed to Mr..
Robson.
But we do contend that if
Mr.. Eastland and Mr.. Wal
ters and members of the

entitled to freedom of speech,
so is Mr.. Robson.

CONVENTION SIDE
LIGHTS
Reverting back to the Wor-
cester pri-primary convention
more comments are in order.
While most delegates ex-
pressed confidence that thea
party viii prevail in Noyem-
Der, optimism is tempered by
concern as to whether or not
President Eisenhower Will run
again.
If the President Unexpected
ly decides not to seek reelec-
tion, the Massachusetts, pic
ture could become critical for
the party.
A strong civil rights plank
and an indecisive plank ,on
how to meet state and muni-
cipal fiscal problems feature
the Republican state plat
form presented to the state
convention.
Like the Democratic state
platform adopted at the rival
party convention here last
weekend, the republican docu-
ment upheld the recent SUI
preme Court decision outlaw
ing segregation in the public
schools.
Asserting that 1--WE stand
united in our enthusiastic ap-
proval of the Supreme Courts
decision" the platform said:
I'VE are proud of the achieve
ments of our state and fed
eral administrations in the
field Of civil rights"
1t expressed satisfaction in
having strengthened Massa-
laws guaranteeing
fair employment and fair edu- |
practices, eliminating |
segregation in the National |

elimination in public housing
or by any business dealing !
with the public. These are now |
the nations most effective
laws in this field. In keeping |
with Republican tradition, we |

Burma Premier
ToMeet Chou
In Border Talk

RANGOON, Burma, Dec. 4 up,
Premier U Ba Swe said today
he will meet with Red Chinese
Premier Chou En-lai some 80
miles inside Communist China to
discuss a permanent settlement
of border troubles between the
two countries.
The groundwork for the meet
ing, to be held December is at
Mangshih, in China's Yunnan
province, was laid by former
Premier II M in 1 visit to Pei
ping last month.
The tentative agreement calls
for Red China to take permanent
possession of three townships in
northern Kachin state and for
the Chinese Communists to with
draw from the Wa states they
invaded in 1858.
The 1941 boundary established
by Britain and the Chinese Ma
tionaliStS was accepted as the
basis of negotiation.
Pass to Be Returned
Burma also agreed tentatively
to return to China an IMPORTANT
pass leased in 1897 from the
Chinese imperial government
The So-called Namwan-asSigned
track, the pass across a spur of
Chinese territory, provides a vital
link between the Shan and
Kachin states, from Markham to
Bhamo.
The Burmese, concession would
give the Chinese a relatively ice
free year-round road into Tibet
and two routes direct to Assam,
midas northernmost province.
Chou, now in India on a
seven-nation Asia tour, is sched-
uled to arrive in Rangoon Mon
day. Presumably he and Ba Swe
will hold preliminary talks in
the Burmese capital.
The projected settlement
would legalize a situation Burma
apparently can do nothing about
anyway.

portedly have five armies of
