DOROTHY THOMPSON
Indian Leader Called Believer in Change,
Held in Check by Belief in Tradition

NEW DELHI, India.-It is
odd that II anywhere q ma
tional leader acts out Of q COM
pletely consistent philosophy
of life and politics, he should
be opposed and misunderstood
in some parts of the world.
Among world leaders today
there are few-if there are any
others-who are as AL of
piece" as Jawaharlal Nehru.
1t has taken the better part
Of half a century as student.
an intellectual, a revolutionary
constantly in and out Of jaiD,
and, finally, as the undisputed
leader Of India, to make him
what he is.
His revolutionary experience
and international outlook At
together. The Indian resist
ance, eventually resulting in
the withdrawal Of the British
from India, is the unique
example in history of national
liberation achieved by nom
violence. Except for the
frightful communal war that
subsequently broke out through
the unwillingness Of part Of
the Moslems to remain with
the Hindu majority, thus
bringing about partition, the
evolution Of the Indian union,
considering the vast divisive
influences, has been remark
ably peaceful and accom-
plished by democratic processes
through democratic institu-
tions, to which Nehru is not
only committed but dedicated.
II ever a man was in a posi-
ton to make himself a die
tator, Nehru. / should think,
held that position, and many
factors might have pushed him
toward It: The need to achieve
unity by almost any means;
the challenge Of enormous
problems whose solution is re-
tarded by democratic machin-
cry; the extreme disparity be-
tween rich and poor and the
hopes Of the people for rapid
alienation. The pull Of COM
munism on long-ossified So
cieties retarded in economic
development is less theological
than It's demonstrated capacity

in the Senate, according to Congressional Quarterly
In 1851 he announced he against recommttal of
motion citing Joe Adons for contempt after the gambler
pleaded the Fifth.
Mr.. Duff voted for contempt action against Morris
Kenman and Louis Rotkopf after they pleaded the Fifth
before the Kefauver crime committee.
In 1854 Mr.. Duff paired for contempt against Corliss

Occasionally his mood soft

officially was set up to study the

Origin Of Litigation
Mr.. Thompson said one of the

check on the origin of racial liti-

being asked for information
along that line to determine
whether they actually originated
the Arlington suit or whether
someone gave them the idea.
There are white and Negro
parents among the plaintiffs who
brought the Arlington suit. They
won their case on Monday when
the Supreme Court refused to
interfere with lower court de-
cisions directing Arlington Coun-
ty to desegregate its public
schools. A similar edict in Char

way that he did not know what

Signed Checks in Blank
Shefferman had testified that
he had signed checks in blank
and left them for use by his
secretary when he was not ir

always paid for the purchases
and was reimbursed, sometimes
much later. by Beck but at the

Shetferman said that he
bought goods for 400 or SOC
people through his union mer-
chandising company from dis
count houses and other sources
and that was just the way 1t
was handled.
Senator Kennedy also ques-
toned whether the purchases for
Beck were "a proper action -
since the consultant was repre-
senting employers having con-
tracts with the Teamsters.
Il was merely building good

The testimony brought out
that Shefferman also made a

chases for Dave Beck. jr. These
included washing machine,

niture, three mattresses and
three springs, "thingamajig for

what he wanted.
Shefferman guessed that Dave
