Cooper Condemns
Indignation Blocks

PARIS, Sept. 20 (P.-Sena-
tor John Sherman Cooper, Re-
publican of Kentucky, yester-
day condemned racial discrim-
ination and efforts to prevent
school indignation in part of the
United States.
Commenting on President Eli
Senhower'S decision to use Fed
eral troops in Little Rock anc
federalize the Arkansas Ma
tional Guard. the Kentucky
Senator said in a statement:
Il am sure that this decision
will be approved by a great
majority Of the American
people"
Senator Cooper'S statement
was distributed in French BY
the United States Embassy ir
Paris. Its text was carried or
the wires of the French News
Agency. serving virtually all Of
Frances newspapers. Senator
Cooper formerly was United
States Ambassador to India.
The Senator, here on a visit
apparently decided to answer
a wave Of bitter anti-Uniteo
States criticism that swept the
French press in the wake Of tbs
Little Rock incidents.

to discuss the use Of Federal
troops in Little Rock. The
North Carolina Governor said
his group will seek removal Of
the troops.
Requests Other Information
This is a mission on which
we are being sent by authority
and vote of the Southern Gov
errors Conference" he said.
In addition to requesting a
copy of the riot training order,
Senator Russell said he re-
quested "a great deal" Of other
information, including copies
Of all Pentagon orders relating
to use Of troops in Little Rock.
or to the possible use of troops
in any similar case.
Congress apd the people. he
said. are entitled to know If
military occupation Of the
South is contemplated. Ger
tainly they ought to have a
little more notice than they got
in Little Rock" he added.

American Diplomats See
Roce Tension as Costly

But conservative Frenchmen
ask who Americans are to be
giving them advice. Jacques
Soustelle. former governor of
Algeria and q leading Spokes-
man in the current Algerian
debate, told the French Assem-
bly, yesterday:
LET us be rid Of this guilty
conscience complex. It is not
we who call on republican
guards to let Arab children get
into schools"
And the Paris edition Of the
New York Herald Tribune re-
Gently received a letter from q
Frenchman saying: Now that
the United States has had to
divert its troops to preserve
law and order in Little Rock,
perhaps Americans can under
stand why France has diverted
her troops to preserve law and
order in Algeria. :"
This may not be an accurate
parallel, but America will lose
ground trying to explain.
Gain for Reds Seen
Incidentally. Frenchmen are
sorry to see America lose pres
tige because they know Russia
is picking up what America
drops. The liberal newspaper
Combat said: Little Rock
rioters have rendered a major
service to Soviet propaganda
The State Department seeks
the friendship Of Afro-AsiatiC
nations. In fact, Washington il
engaged in a tough battle Of
influence with Moscow. This
dispute increases now when the
United Nations is meeting
when it might be useful to Sc
cure a friendly vote in certain
issues"
One American diplomat who
works closely with Asians and
Africans said yesterday he ha:
noted a sharp change in Their
attitudes in recent weeks. "They
deduce from Little Rock thai
Americans are opposed to free
dom for dark skinned people
They wonder If it would not be

BY RICHARD FRYKLUND

European Correspondent OF The star
PARIS. Sept. 90 - Current
racial troubles in America are
making Uncle Sans diplomacy
and defense more dificult, ac-
cording to American diplomats
In Europe.
The added difficulties in
crease the cost it is pointed out,
and the added cost will some
day come out of the pockets
OF American taxpayers - no
matter where they stand on the
school migration issue.
American diplomats say Little
Rock and other recent out
bursts Of racial violence in both
the North and the South have
a direct expensive effect on
American interests abroad. 1t
was explained this way:
The defense Of America and
the West must be a Joint prof.
ect. That project requires
leadership and because of
Americas postwar strength
that leadership falls on Amer
lea. It Is to Americas interest
to maintain it. Of course, as
we can do a better job then OF
getting things done our way.
ITO lead other countries in
diplomacy and defense, Amer
lea must convince them 1t is a
mature. sensible country that
has ideas worth following.
But racial violence-Little
Rock in PARTICULARS under
mining the confidence we have
built up. Europeans believe
recent American actions are
childish and stupid. They lis
ten to us now with less respect.
Cite Algerian Parallel
The Algerian question is ar
example of this. Most Of the
French armies now are in Al
geria suppressing rebellion
rather than in central Europe
helping to hold line for NATO
American diplomats are urging
France toward a liberal solu-
ton Of the Algerian problem SO
that those troops can be re-
turned to the service of the
whole West.

lin propaganda
BLASTS Abroad

The Nation is facing pretty
rough going" in trying to tell
the rest of the world what we
stand for when some Ameri-
cans are providing the most ef-
fective kind of anti-American
propaganda. according to q
Government official.
Abbott Washburn. deputy d.
rector Of the United States In
formation Agency. said that
in q world where the majority
Of the people are non-white,
Little Rock and other centers
Of segregation turmoil are pro-
viding ammunition for the
enemy.
Mr.. Washburn addressed q
session Of the fourth annual
Middle Atlantic conference OF
the Public Relations Society Of
Americas Washington Chapter
in the Hotel Statler yesterday
Barbarity Charged
He said the Com m unist
youth publication expressed in
dignation lover the barbarity
Of Americans" He added:
1.-THE other night the Rus
SLAMS built a radio drama
broadcast over Radio Moscow
depicting a child on her way
TO school seeing the corpse OF
q lynched Negro dangling from
q tree. Such broadcasts are
made to claSsrooms. There
are pictures in the papers
showing white children chas-
ing Negro children. and the
comment is that it is hard To
realize that such things hap
pen In the goth Century.
Points to Success
Mr.. WaShburn said the USIA
is providing the straight facts
in full. with proper back
ground. 1t has pointed out
that since the Supreme Court
decision more than 1000 school
districts have been success
fully integrated.
In another program yeSter-
day. Kenneth G. Crawford,
Washington bureau manager of
Newsweek. said information
channels are not as open in this
Republican administration as
they were, except in war years,
during recent Democratic adj
ministrations.

pute.
With few exceptions, they
agree that mob violence and
disorder at Little Rock Central

Senator Kennedy Of Massa-

Democratic vice presidential
nomination in 1856, said today
that neither mob violence MOI

Kennedy said in q statement

although there may be dis
agreement over the President s
leadership on this issue, there
is no denying that he alone has
the ultimate responsibility for
deciding what steps are neces-

Mr.. Nixon Backs Moves
Vice President Nixon public
ly backed Mr.. Eisenhower's
moves before the White House

ing use of regular troops in
Little Rock. Mr.. Nixon has
not commented since the troop
order. but he said in New York
after Mr.. Eisenhower issued a
preliminary proclamation Mon

adding:

Adlai Stevenson, Democratic
nominee twice defeated by Mr..
Eisenhower, said the President
had no choice but to use Fed

THE combination Of lawless
violence and the Governors ir-

Ipowerless to meet" he said in
Chicago. Federal force must
in this situation be used to put

Harm TO Nation Seen
Senator Kefauver, Democrat
of Tennessee, who was his

disorder has harmed the United

Those responsible for the
disgraceful situation should
stop and think Of the damage
they are doing to our country"
Senator Kefauver said when in
lterviewed in West Germany.
Senator Symington, Demo-
crat Of Missouri, also regarded
as a presidential possibility.
said Mr.. Eisenhower had no
other course but to use Federal
troops.
Mob resistance to a de.

condoned," Senator Symington
said in Missouri. ''If we are
to remain a free people we
must also remain a government
