Viewed as Unanswered Into Position
BY Moderate Stand on Inteqrotion

By his continued insistence
on middle-of -the-road mod
Grafton IN the Southern inte-
grafton rebellion, President
Eisenhower mas got himself
Unanswered into q position
where he now Is drawing the
ire away from the Southern
Democrats and to himself.
This shift Of the target to
himself. which 1t was hard at
first for Democratic leaders
to grasp. opened the way for
Northern Democrats to take
the initiative, which they
have done in two quick ma
neuvers we have observed
this week. They have been
aided and abetted by attacks
on the President by Negro
leaders.
Northern Democrats are, a.
we know. most vulnerable to
the anti-civil rights bellicos-
ity Of the Southern wing Of
the party. since Negro voters
constitute the balance-of
power vote In constituencies
where there are big urban
centers.
Their flrst maneuver was
in the statement issued by IS
Of the "a members Of the
Democratic Advisory Council,
which includes former Presi-
dent Truman and Adlai
Stevenson. II was created
at q Democratic National
Committee session several
months ago but was boy
cotted and snubbed by the
Southern party leaders in
Congress.

elared the President had
failed to use the prestige and
power Of his ONCE to rally
the moral force Of the coun-
try against defiance Of law"
He had, the statement said
further, "lost the opportunity
TO exert leadership in behalf
Of law and order"
The description Of this
Intervention Of Democratic
Party leaders as being funny,
II 1t were not so tragic" by
James Hagerty. the Presi-
dents press secretary, had a
certain validity. That is, when
you consider that 1t was, an
important part Of the Demo-
cratic Party. the Dixie con-
tingency which speaks with
so strong q voice in Congress,
that was responsible for all
Of the mischief in the FIRST
place.
But an attempt was made
TO take care Of this incon-
Sistency by no less q Demo-
cratic Party parsonage than
its national chairman, Paul
Butler. He took the occasion
OF q regional meeting Of
party ofhcials from nine
Southern States at Raleigh.
N. c., to try 10 isolate the
Southern wing Of the party.
He proclaimed the intention
Of the national party" to

and. indeed, 10 extend civil
rights, and openly dened

The political pertinency
and timeliness Of this Demo-
cratic attempt to put the

became apparent when

to recommend that the Presi-

Nor has the Governor Of

For many years now. the
unions have denounced any
use Of the National Guard to

calls for the Government
to "federalize" the National

The hysteria has gone so
far that demands have been
made for the use Of Federal

During the past months The
Star has received several books,
some of them written by WASH
ington residents. Of especial
significance.
One Of the most interesting
is Charles Wesley and His
Colleagues" by Methodist Bis
hop Charles Wesley Flint of
Washington, retired. In this de-
voted study Bishop Flint not
only gives the reader a wide
and deep understanding Of the
great English religious leader
who founded methodism but
also of his colleagues. In addi-
ton. he paints a picture of the
18th century that is revealing
and important for those who
wish to understand how meth
odism came into being.
The Rev. James A. Wagner,
procurator of Catholic Univer-
sity, presents a searching
analysis Of what a priest should
do to make his ministry most
effective today in "The Catholic
Priest in the Modern World"
Fundamental Marriage
COunseling" by DR.. John r.
Cavanagh, noted Washington
physician and psychiatrist, is a
comprehensive survey concern
ing the fundamental aspects of
marriage. While the subject is
presented from a Catholic
viewpoint, its broad discussion
is of value to all.
The touchy problem of seq
regation and the churches is
carefully studied in american
Churches and the Negro" by DIR.
w. d. WeatherfOrd. Most Of the
work is devoted to the attitude
of different churches-Episco-
pal, Roman Catholic. Meth
odist, Presbyterian and others
toward the Negro during
slavery. The last two chapters,
up to which the book builds,
discusses the present activities
and programs of the churches
and the attitude and approach
they should take toward the
problem today.

publicized question is that of

This suggests the problem will

"The Two Cities" by John A

other vexing issue. how closely
related are religion and politics
There are two schools of thought
on this question, each strongly
convinced its position is cor

insists true religion demands

Of these two views.
A less controversial volume is
