West German Visitor

Sion 1t is, in brief, to get acquainted at
first hand with American thought and
with officials of our Government and to
explain while here his own position and
the attitude of his party in both foreign
and domestic affairs. 1t is timely that
he should do SO.
In September there will be general
election in the Federal Republic, with
Chancellor Adenauer'S Christian Demo-
Gratis facing their greatest challenge from
the Social Democratic Party. Fhe latter
opposed West German membership in the
NATO and rearmament based upon con-
Scription. 1t has favored collective Sc
curity" for all of Europe, but has empha-
sized that there must be four-power

Soviet Union) cooperation in bringing
about the identification of East and West
Germany. At the same time, Mr.. Ollen-
hauer has stressed that his questioning
Of Western policies is not synonymous
with friendship for the Soviet Union and
he has predicted steady loss of political
strength for the Communist Party, now
outlawed, in West Germany. Mr.. Ollen-
hauer, sometimes known as the German
Clement Attlee," has not been drawn into
extreme positions and has not been guilty
of merely destructive opposition to the
Adenauer government. Even II the Social
Democrats fail TO win the September
elections, Mr.. Ollenhauer will remain as
a strong political leader. Thus, his visit
here, with its opportunity to develop a
greater mutual understanding, should be
we'll worthwhile.

Threat to Wdshinqton

IRE adn.liStfa ion decision 70 hal,
llo Federal lease purchase program Al
least temporarily, is sharp diSSappoint-
nent which could have most adverse
effect on the development OF the Nations
Capital
Nevertheless. II is obvious that the
time has come for a careful scrutiny Of
this ambitious new experiment in public
building financing, and pending inquiries
by House and Senate committees there
fore are most welcome. The need for a
searching new look is pointed up by the
Governments inability to get acceptable
construction and financing bids on the
few projects which have reached the
construction stage. 1t may be, as Rep
reSentative Jones of Alabama feels, that
there are basic flaws in the lease purchase
buy through rental payment" plan. II
so, the time to find that out is now.
Arguments also can be made for the
administrators contention that noneS-
Sential public works should be held up
to prevent inf1ationary preSsureS on the
already-critical demand for construction
labor and materials. But If this is
basic reason for hating lease purchase,
as Government agencies indicate, the
prospects are dim, indeed, for long-needed
new Government buildings. For no one
can tell when the economy will ease to
a level which will relieve inflationary
preSSureS in the construction industry.
There is hope. meanwhile, in Mr..
Jones feeling that lease purchase might
work in Washington, If nowhere else. If
this should not be the case, Congress
should grant the Nations Capital the
special treatment it deserves, and au-
thorize direct appropriations to carry
forth the long-range Washington con-
Struction program drawn up by the Cen
eral Services Administration last year.

Negro History Week

For many years the week in
which Lincoln's birthday oc-
ours has been observed as
Negro History Week. We have
stressed. with due emphasis.
during this annual celebration
the contributions to our Amer
lean way of life that have been
made by our Negro brothers
past and present. We custom
arly single out those individ-
ual Negroes for special recog-
milton Of achievements and
contributions. namely, Ralph
Bunche. Alain Leroy Locke.
George Washington Carver
and others.
In this years observance. we
ought to break somewhat with
custom. For if anyone is to be
singled out for recognition. it
should be the colored people of
the American South. The Ne
gro III the South Of 1861 be-
came the new Negro we hear
so much about. In places like
Alabama. Florida, and Georgia.
the Southern Negro. under the
leadership OF the church and
its ministers. commenced in
the open a fight against all
phases Of segregation and dis
elimination and assumed a
new leadership in the whole
Nation which won the support
and sympathy of people the
world over. The year long bus
boycott in Montgomery, Ala.
is no small illustration Of this
new leadership and protest.
However, special recognition
should be given to those Negro
voters of the South who were
liable" TO vote on election day
November 5. 1856. For IL was
through the vote that the
Southern Negro assumed the
fight for equal rights from his
free" brothers in the North.
who had been leading and
financing the fight heretofore.
Those Negroes who were able
TO vote in the South last year
turned out to vote in the
largest numbers ever recorded
and voted straight down the
line against the South's mono
lithic party system.
Negroes may get some civil
rights guarantees from Con-
gress this year. If this should
be the case. we shall have to
give ~ credit largely TO our
voting Negro brothers Of the
South. Neal II. Jones. Jr.

to the contrary, notably during last years

that the world need not feel imperiled by

been made by three Columbia University

With the help of grant from the

exhaustive, worldwide study having to
