PALM DESERT, Calf, Nov.
q (AP).-It may not be q shot
heard round the world but 1t
had international reverbera-
tons in golf today.
1t was a bad-judgment shot
by Great Britain's veteran pro-
fessional, Harry Weetman. in
the Ryder Cup golf matches.
1t cost the British half a point
and found them trailing the
United States. 21a points to 11a
points, as players from the rival
countries went into today's de-
cisive singles matches at the
Eldorado Country Club.
Eight match-play singles
were scheduled over the 36-hole
route in the windup Of the
famed biennial series.
The pairings. Great Britain
listed first:
Norman Drew-Doug Ford,
Ken Bousfield-Mike Souchak,
Harry Weetman-Bob Rosburg
Dave Thomas-Sam Snead, Dai
Rees-Dow Finsterwald, Peter
Alliss-Jay Hebert, Christy
O'Connor-Art Wall. jr., and
Eric Brown-Cary Middlecoff.
Boros, Burke Sidelined
Watching from the sidelines
were the other team members,
julius Boros and Jack Burke
jr.. Of the United States-the
latter nursing a bad left hand
and Britain's ailing Peter
Mills and Bernard Hunt.
The Yanks, intent on regain
ing the big gold cup which the
British won in England in 1857,
had quite a scare in yesterdays
four scotch foursomes. In this
match play. each team Of two
plays one ball and alternates
shots.
The American team of Sou
chak and Rosburg spanked
Hunt and Brown, 5 and 4, and
Boros and Finsterwald edged
out Bousfield and Rees, 2 up.
Wall, Ford Beaten
But Britain's crack pair of
Alliss and O'Connor turned
back the equally sharp team Of
Wall and Ford. 3 and 2.
And in the most dramatic
match Of the day, highlighted
by Weetman's controversial
shot and a clutch 9-foot putt
by Capt. Snead, The Snead-
Middleton and Weetm a n
Thomas combinations ended all
square. Each team scored one
half point.
The British came to the seth
hole leading one up. Snead's

elements and strong-willed
men For that, no one can
ever take credit away from
him.
Senator Proxmire's point is
that Senator johnson is in a
rut. He argues that he is
compromising major issues
out of a habit no longer
dictated by necessity now
that a strong Democratic
majority exists. The point
was daringly taken, for Sen
ator Johnson has power and
can be vindictive on occasion.
In belling the cat, Senator
Proxmire has had the cour-
age to do what a substan-
tial number, at least of
Democratic Senators, have
been too timorous to attempt.
Because they have not been
challenged by a strong Presi-
dent, they have taken the
easy Johnson way. They have
gotten by with it because the
Johnson technique Of oblit-
Grating the sharp and con-
troversial points of the issues
has left the public apathetic
and poorly informed.
With no strong winds then
blowing from any direction,
it has been more comfortable
for Senators to quell their
doubts and fears about the
real wisdom of Senator john
sons course while awaiting
whatever direction time and
circumstance may provide.

tWo-hour hearing before United
States District Judge Frank M.
Johnson, jr.
The Federal juriSt set an
other hearing for March 5 on
new questions and took under
advisement arguments of both
sides on whether:
/. The last county voter reg
iStrars, E. P. Livingston and
State Representative Grady
Rogers, had a legal right to
resign December 10 or must
remain in Office until successors
are appointed.
2. In the absence of any
functioning board members, an
injunction can be issued against
the board of registrars as a
separate State function.
3. The Government can le-
gally compel county officials to
preserve existing voter regis
tration records and, if the suit
is finally tried on its merits,
produce the files as evidence.
Pending answers to those
Questions, Judge johnson left
unsettled the status of the
Government suit. 1t names Mr..
Livingston and Mr.. Rogers and
the registration board as de-
PENDANTS and seeks a court
order to prevent further denial
of Negro voting rights in rural
Macon County
Asking dismissal of the Fed
eral suit, States attorneys con-
tended no injunction could be
issued against Mr.. ~ Livingston
and Mr. Rogers because they
had left Office. They resigned
in the wake of the recent Civil
Rights Commission inquiry on
Negro voting complaints.
! Federal lawyers, however, ar
gued the two must remain in
Office until someone is found
to take their place. They
claimed also the board could
be enjoined-thus applying to
any later appointee-even if
Mr.. Livingston and Mr.. Rogers
had legally resigned.
In answer to a defense argu-
ment that a suit against voter
) registrars is a complaint against
the State itself, the Justice De-
partment amended its original
) suit to make the State of Ala
bama a defendant.

USIA Seen Failing to Tell Other People
Of Respectable Position of Negroes

issues in the last three years
has been migration. When
this reporter made his last
trip around the world in the
fall of 1858 he was asked in
almost every country he Wis
tied about our racial prob
lens. Far too often the ques-
toners tone Of voice reflected
a feeling that America was
treating its colored citizens in
a very shabby fashion.
In Karachi, Pakistan, for
instance, the leading English
language newspaper, Dawn,
ran a lead editorial severely
criticizing the United States
on the subject.
In France I found people
who actually believed that
American Negroes were starv-
ing, given no voting rights,
and lived in ghettos, much
like the Jews in Hitler's Ger
many.
In Tokyo ! heard that
many people believed that
Negroes were lynched every
day.
Nowhere did I find any
attempt of the USIA to ex-
plain how we'll off American
Negroes are comparatively;
how many of them live in
well-built houses, how many
of them drive the most ex-
pensive cars. Nor that the
majority of American Negroes
live in far greater luxury than
many of the foreigners who
are feeling so sorry for them.
Neither did ! find any evil
dence that our USIA was pre-
senting to our friends both
sides Of our segregation ques-
ton. To the people overseas
it would seem that all of
Americas white citizens hate
all American black citizens,
and vice versa. 1t was never
told to them, for instance,
that there are a large number
of Negroes who prefer segre-
cation and who are working
alongside and with the whites
who also prefer it,
There is ample evidence
which the USIA could pre-
sent. A leading publisher of
a string of weekly Negro
newspapers, Davis Lee, has
written several editorials on
the subject. In one published
in the Anderson, S. c., Her
aid on January 10, Mr.. Lee

Wisconsinite Viewed as Giving Voice
To Governors Fear of Compromises

Il his attack on the mo-

ator Johnson's management
of tle Senate majority, Sem
ator Proxmire of Wisconsin

the wave length of the IS
Democratic Governors than
to thlt of the 81 Democratic

Thd Governors are the ones

Governors are much closer to

litical elects, but turn a close
and beady eye on the results.
Washington has always

the technical maneuvering Of
the HouSe and Senate, in how
it's done, fully as much as in
what is done. It has been
dazzled BY Senator Johnson's
technical proficiency, which
is almost entirely responsible
for the praise and press he
has had.
There are many reasons
Why so much attention has
been paid to it. First of all,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-02-24

this city literally "loves poll
tics" 1t has been starved for
leadership and for the in
terplay of conflicting ideas
and ambitions.
Senator Johnson has rare
ly allowed Democratic con-
flict to emerge on the Senate
floor; his skill in averting
it by cloakroom maneuver is
the show, the fascinating
performance so often glow
ingly described.
Even so, he could not get
so much attention If the per-
Torrance at the White
House were not so lackluster.
To put it bluntly, it is bore
to press and public.
1t is equally true that if
a Democratic President &C.
cupied the White House, he
and not Senator Johnson
would be the focus Of atten-
ton. What such a President
said and did would be the
party line. If he followed the
Democratic tr a dition, he
would be a strong and COM

of Senator johnson would
have to fall in line.

Giving World True u. S. Picture

Gates Of deSegregation want
to force white people to de-
segregate, but they haven't
desegregated within our race.
In some sections of South
Carolina the yellow Negroes
won't have anything to do
with the dark Negroes. I
know Negroes in Charleston
who will not speak to other
Negroes because they are Of
different stations in life.
I'm some sections the yell
low and mulatto Negroes have
churches that dark Negroes
cannot attend. The edu-
Gated Negro shuns the uned-
ucated of his race. The pro-
fessional members of our race
will rob and exploit the UNI
fortunate members of our
race. But they refuse to as
sociate with them on an
equal social basis. At the
rate they are going, in a few
years there will not be a
Negro race. You can hardly
conceive of sensible leaders
advocating a movement that
is going to do away with our
race. But that is what they
are doing"
If the USIA wanted to pre-
sent proof to our friends over
seas that the American Ne
groes are not downtrodden
and starving minority in our
country, they need only to
quote Mr.. Lee further. He
wrote: Tied Lewis is one of
Atlanta's leading Negro bust
nessmen. Some time ago he
was having financial diff
Guilty. He went to some of
the city's leading Negro BUSH
neSsmen, including the bank
erS, and tried to borrow ST.
500.
They turned him down
fiat. He went to the small
loan department of the
c. 81 S. Bank. One of the Off
Gals went over his plans
with him, and then recon-
mended that he borrow S.
900 instead of $4,000. The
bank let him have the money
without questions. AS a re-
suit he is a success today, a
credit to Georgia and his
race"
There are many things our
USIA could do to let the
world know that the Ameri-
can Negroes are respected,
intelligent and firSt-class
American citizens. 1t is only
a vocal few of both the black
and white race who are Civ

I uIbriqht Denies Soviet Story

quested by the Secretary Of
State, Thomas jefferson.
In 1852, the Soviet govern
ment itself requested the
recall Of Ambassador George
KEENAN, because Of some re-
marks he made to the press
while In Bonn, Germany.
These comments were critical
Of the Soviet government,
which, in a formal note.
declared that he had COM
mitted "a rude violation Of
the generally recognized
norms Of international law"
To this. Secretary of State
Acheson replied that the
Kremlin, itself, had disre-
garded the rules Of interna-
tional intercourse and that
what Mr.. KEENAN, had said
was true.
Anyway. the recall, of
course, took effect, as 1t is
the custom to comply with
the requests of other govern
ments when they declare any
member of an embassy or
legation to be persona non
grata or unacceptable any
longer to the resident govern
ment.
Mikhail Menshikov, the
present Soviet Ambassador.
has violated the rules in more
ways than one. He refused
last November, for instance,
while at the Department Of
State to listen to a tape re-
cording which dealt with the
crash Of an American I'M
armed airplane in which II
Americans were killed. To
refuse to accept a part of any
communication submitted in
diplomatic intercourse and,
in effect, to challenge its
veracity is to offer an insult
to the resident government.
For ambassadors are regard
ed as channels of commune
cation and, if these are mop
erative. there is little use in
continuing to receive the same
ambassador as an accredited
representative of his govern
ment.

Article on Senator and u. S. Politics
By Menshikov's Son Is Criticized

For an even less tenuous
connection with American
politics, a British envoy was
expelled from Washington BY
the United States government
many years ago.
In this instance, Sir Lionel
Sackville-West, British MIN
lister to Washington. sent a
letter marked private" to
an American who had asked
what would be the best way
for q naturalized citizen,
formerly of Great Britain, TO
vote in the presidential cleo
ton of 1888. The Minister
wrote that it would be to the
best interests of Great Britain
If the vote were cast for
Grover Cleveland. The letter
was made public through
friends of the recipient.
Though any intent TO in
terfere In American politics
was disclaimed by the British
Minister, he was promptly
handed his passport by order
of President Cleveland, But
the damage was done, and
Mr.. Cleveland was defeated
in that campaign largely be-
cause Of the opposition Of
anti-British groups.
Meddling in American poll
tics by any diplomatic repre-
sentative of a foreign govern
ment has always been con-
sidered by the United States
Government as an improper
activity.
In an early instance, "Citi-
zen" Genet, the diplomatic
representative of the French
government, criticized the
United States in public for
issuing a proclamation of
neutrality in the war then
going on between France and
Great Britain When he
threatened to appeal over
the head of President Wash
ington to the American
people, his recall was re-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-02-24

He called this a significant
concession from the United
States and the Nationalist.
Mr.. Marshall, now with the
Washington center of the For
eign Policy Research Institute
and a research scholar at the
Carnegie Endowment for In
ternational Peace, said the
views he expressed were his
own.
He proposed that the United
States issue a statement "tak-
ing note of the easing of the
threat of force in the Formosa
Strait and making clear oul
willingness accordingly to enter
into diplomatic relations with
the Peiping regime.
Mr.. Marshall then called fol-
