your attention is further
called to the fact that travel

at this time may well involve
violation of regulations issued
and enforced under the
Trading With the Enemy Act,
which constitutes q criminal
offense under our law. ..
by travelling to Commu-

Of your Government, be act

wherever possible. to subvert
the foreign policy and the
best interests of the United
States, Of which you are a

It will seem strange to
many people in America that
it should have been neces-
sary for the Department of
State to make such an ap-
peal to any citizens of the
United States. But Lincoln
White, press officer of the
department, in releasing the
text Of the Herter letter, said
it is well known that GER
tain of these people (dele-
gates), If not admitted Com
munists, are very close to the
line"
While some of the dele
gates may be ideologically
sympathetic to communism
as a philosophy, there were a
few others who didn't hest
tate to argue in Moscow for
the American viewpoint.

America an agitation by

appropriate legislative COM
mittee-the Interstate Com
merce Committeeman had
the green light from the
powerful Rules Committee to
go to the floor.
Speaker Rayburn. you may
remember, had some trouble
in getting the House to swal-
low the bill In the last Con-
gress. He had to take the
floor himself, which a
Speaker seldom does, and
cast into the balance his
prestige and the influence he
Yields because Of his posi-
ton. He turned the trick by
a mere handful Of votes. But
he knew he had been through
an ordeal.
Victory for the measure
was much easier in the Sen
ate for the other Texan
Senator Lyndon johnson.
Then. presto. his triumph
and that Of Speaker Rayburn
was spoiled by President Ell
senhower who vetoed the bill
somewhat Unexpectedly, but
on account Of the "arro-
gance" Of the oil and gas
lobby and not because Of the
principle, which he said he
favors and still does.
The strategy Of the Demo-
cratic leadership was to push
the bill through again at this
session and get 1t out of the
way now instead Of waiting
until the next session of this
85th Congress which will be
just ahead Of the 1858 con-
gressional elections. Drama

ton year. 1t was feared,
might hurt Democratic can
didates in consumer States
Of the East and Middle West,
even though Democrats in
those areas, like Republicans,
vigorously oppose the bill.
Democrats are in control of
this Congress and thus re-
sponsible for its record.

In this day of soaring
prices the lowly consumer
should perhaps be grateful
for small favors.
In this instance, the SUBJ
ject is the consumer of nat
ural gas--some 40 million Of
him. He has been granted a
stay of undetermined dura-
ton. This comes about
through the decision Of the
Texas Democratic leadership
Of Congress that it will not
press for action in this ses-
sion on the bill to exempt
natural gas producers from
regulation by the Federal
Power Commission.
Such exemption would al
most surely cause a boost in
natural gas prices. That is
the view Of experts.
The decision by the Texas
mocratic leadership
Speaker Of the House Sam
Rayburn and Senator Lyn-
don Johnson, Democratic
Senate Leaders, one die
tated by necessity, not by
any cooling Of their ardor for
this measure sought by the
big oil companies which own
the bulk Of the Nations nat
ural gas reserves. They hope
to get the bill through at the
next session of Congress.
The real reason for aban-
doning the bill at this session
is that the Speaker made a
count Of noses in the House
and found he was short Of
enough votes to put 1t over,
though his excuse publicly
was that because Of the long
session members Of the House
are too "unstrung" to tackle
such a controversial measure.
That's a new one for the
book. Everything had been
all set to jam the bill
through. It had been APP

DORIS FLEEs0N
Crossroads on the Rights Bill

As matters now stand by
kind of weird justice. the
Democrats are beginning to
look like the civil rights
party. Their Southern Sena-
tors sacrificed the sacred
fllibuster to allow the passage
of the first Federal civil
rights statute since Recon-
struction. 1t may be better or
worse than it looks. but it's
there.
There are Republicans. too,
who can take credit, but any
veteran of the congressional
galleries will certify that
there have consistently been
more Democrats favoring civil
rights legislation through the
years than Republicans by a
fairly wide margin. The num-
Der in Congress who have a
passionate conviction about
the issue is another story
entirely.
The counSels now reach
ing the Presidents ear are
carefully guarded from the
public view and there will be
no gathering Of reporters to
smoke them out this week.
What he has to gain. where
his intense anxieties focus, is.
however, clear. In an extra
ordinary White House meet
ing. he has begged 20 con-
gresSional leaders-half from
each party-to support the
full amount Of foreign aid
in the compromise bill. It is
only realistic to suggest that
his control Of that situation
is in part dependent on how
carefully he treads the civil
rights path with a Demo-
cratic majority in the Con-
greSS.

Red China and Soviet Rus
STA have conSpired to utilize
a group of American students
in an attempt to humiliate
the United States before the
world.
The inviting Of about so
Americans who have been at
tending the youth festival In
Moscow to go now to Red
China is a palpable effort to
embarrass the United States
Government.
Recognizing the maneuver
as a propaganda stunt. the
Acting Secretary Of State,
Christian A. Herter, has is
sued a seriously worded
warning to the Americans in
Moscow urging them not to
act las a willing tool Of Com
muniSt propaganda"
The issue as put UP to the
Americans, in effect, is this:
Do you stand with your own
Government and your own
country, Of which you are a
citizen, or do you stand with
the Communists?
The letter which Acting
Secretary Herter transmitted
to the American Embassy in
Moscow, to be delivered to
the Americans who have been
considering the invitation to
go to Red China, is explicit
and to the point. 1t says in
part:
This letter is addressed
only to those citizens of the
United States who are con-
templating such travel to or
in Communist China. !.
For you to determine to
travel to Communist China
in violation of the declared
policy of your Government
is a serious matter. not to be
undertaken lightly. BY so do
ing, you will be violating the
restriction plainly stamped in
your passport. If you persist
in violating this restriction,
at the first possible oppor-
tunity. your passport will be
marked valid only for travel

President Eisenhower can

this week without explana-
ton. An informed guess is
that he has not yet found
his way through the civil
rights wood where the tall
presidential timber is stick

Every informed person
here now knows that if Re-
publicans would accept a
civil rights bill with a modi-
fed form Of jury trial in it.
that bill would be approved
by Congress and on its way
to the President for sigma
ture within a short time.
The battle for the civil
rights groups outside Con-
gress has been won. The Ma
tional Association for the

People is actively seeking ap-
proval of the Senate bill as
the best available. The ALL
CLIO is urging its adoption as
a practical matter.

most. of the Nations press

their numbers rather than
by their fat pocketbooks.
BY and large, the French
politicians who make foreign
policy are not particularly
happy about the stand of
Washington and what they
describe as the lack of under
standing of American politi-
cal men toward the Algerian
question. We regard it as
rank colonialism. The French
regard it as a purely inter-
nal matter since Algeria with
its French population Of over
IL million people is not a
colony, a dominion or a
protectorate but actually part
and parcel of France itself.
And it has been SO for more
than 100 years.
Algeria is the gateway to
the vast Sahara territory,
where only recently the
French discovered oil, likely
in as large quantities as in
Saudi Arabia or Iraq. The
Algerian rebellion" say
responsible French officials,
was not started by any desire
on the part of the native
Arabs for independence" It
was masterminded by French
Communists who were sent
from Paris to organize and
prod the Arabs into open
rebellion. The arms and am
munition come from Egypt
through Tunisia and Morocco.
Only recently Spanish au-
thorities in the port of Ceuta
permitted a 7,000-ton Egyp-
tan ship to unload its cargo
Of cases labelled agricultural
machinery" They opened
them and found machine
guns. antitank guns and am
munition intended for the
Arabs in Algeria. The cargo
was conf1Scated. This was
only one of many instances.

posters are no longer seen
anywhere in France. and a
neutralist attitude is evident
toward any unexpected Soviet
onslaught.
But French neutralism does
not result from belief that
the country will be better of
in the Soviet orbit than as
one Of the Western Big Four.
1t is due to the fact that the
realistic French know that
the North Atlantic coalition
despite all the propaganda
lis not capable Of opposing
Russia's conventional forces
for long. And we have made
it very clear that nuclear
bombs will not be. used ex-
cept in retaliation.
Nobody in a responsible
position in France thinks that
the Soviet generals now run
ming the military and politi-
cal strategy of the Pre-
sidium in Moscow will be
foolish enough to give
America a chance in the nu-
clear field in which we still
have a marked superiority.
The better feeling toward
the United States does not
result from the efforts of
American diplomacy or Of
the United States Informa-
ton Agency, whose activities,
this reporter was told, are
mainly social. 1t is due to the
American tourist and his dol
lars. 1t may be that the pres

parties to keep hands on the
situation.
The President. on the rec
ord. does not care to buck
trends Of this type. He has
an innate distaste for purely
political maneuvering, which
is where the civil rights bill
currently stands. 1t must be
as clear to him as it is to
everyone else that the burden
of proof has shifted from the
trainers of the Senate bill to
those who would now so act
that no bill at all would be
the inevitable result.
The front man for the lat
ter group is House Republic
can Leader Joe Martin. To
what extent he has in his
corner the strategists who
framed the first salvos
against the jury trial amend
ment-Vice President Nixon
and Acting Attorney General
william P. Rogers-is not
clear.
Martin certainly has on his
side the die-hard Southern
Democrats Of the House. This
is an old coalition, and its
capacity to be difficult. start
ing with its entrenched posi-
ton on the Rules Commit
tee. is very. very great.
1t can stick to its hard
nose attitude that the Sem
ate version must go to con-
ference with the House only
if the President and Vice
President allow it. The Pres
ident has Joe Martins ear,

NeutruIist Attitude in France

lied the tens of thousands Of
Algerians who live here into
terroristic bands which give
the police force severe head
aches. The Bourges-Mau-
noury government asked for
special powers to deal with
these subversive outlaws but
was met with parliamentary
opposition which regarded
the civil rights of the assas-
sins as more important than
those of the victims.
What French political lead
ers DO not understand is why
America, which they regard
as the only remaining great
power dedicated to arresting
the progress of international
(imperialistic) communism"
refuses to see that the present
nationalist uprisings against
France and Britain bear so
clearly MoScow's hallmark.
The French resigned them.
selves to losing their colonies
in the Far East and gave ZIP
with poor grace and many
plumbers their protectorates
over Tunisia and Morocco.
American political men do
not see, or do not want to see,
what is already happening in
Tunisia and Morocco, the
French say. If they did see,
responsible leaders such as
Senator John Kennedy would
not make speeches which are
hurting the efforts Of the
Paris government to find
some solution to the Alge-
rian problem without giving
the Algerians independence
which the rank and file do
not actually seek.
The French people them
selves are said by some poll
ticianS in Paris to be fed up
with the Algerian campaign
and especially with the cost
in casualties and money. But
it is still doubtful that they
will accept without serious
repercussions to the internal

The time for reading and 'rit-

again. Across the country, school
bells are summoning hordes of
reluctant young scholars away
from their favorite outdoor haunts
and back to the crowded halls of
learning.
Not even the Pied Piper him
self could have gathered a larger
or more varied group. There's the

your family, we recommend that
you add another r to the usual

dramas" that are bound to arise
especially in the lower grades
where the mood may be bewild-
erment or even tears one mo-
ment and a noisy kind of self
assurance the next.
A roll or two of film will see
you neatly through all the high
spots and even a few sidelights
for good measure. There's waking,
dressing in a new school outfit,
breakfasting-shots that serve as
an introduction to the main story
and most successful when made
with your camera held at about
the child's eye-level to get the
proper viewpoint. There's waving
a brave goodby as the school bus
picks up one passenger and one
lunchbox-and, of course, there's
the triumphant return when the
youngster shares with you his
excited reactions to the great
day.
By all means, check with your
child's teacher and see whether
she'll give you permission to
bring your camera and flash into
the schoolroom. If so, there'll be
wonderful array of young sub
jects-making friends, entering
into activities, discovering new
