The Enigma OF Haiti
The New York Times

The situation in Haiti today is about as difficult
TO weigh and Judge any in the sphere of American
foreign relations. There is compound of right and
wrong good and bad promises that may may not be
fulfilled, determined and destructive opposition and
surcharge of emotions all Sides The result is mass
of confusion and doubt
Those who have no doubts are either partisans or
opponents of President Duvaier They see the picture
as either pure white pure black and is obviously
neither one The State Department, which cannot be
either champion opponent and merely try to be
patient and helpful is in unenviable position
This is not cearcut of either dictatorship or
democracy. In theory, DR.. Duvaer has now given up
the emergency powers voted to him by Congress six
months ago How much difference that going to make
In practice remains to be Up the present the Du-
valer Government has hardly merited the accoade of
democratic At the time must be conceded that
its opponents have been trying overthrow it and it felt
obliged to defend itself by repressive measures
The State Department has just sent military mission
to PortauPrnce to train Haitis little army Obviously
this is calculated risk The memory of the Inflated
military missions to Cuba is fresh in all minds On the
other hand, economic ad is defensible since it's the
Haitian people who benefit.

Fguratively speaking the State Department and all

other revolution in Haiti.

with Huntley, for far different
reasons.
1.-THE overwhelming majority OF
Southern people are !unalterably

Waring is editor of the Charles

Sunday nights program grew
out of an editorial Huntley deliv-
cred last Sunday after his pro-
gram on Indignation, "The Second
Agony Of Atlanta"
Huntley started by explaining
the background, giving excerpts
from his editorial, and announcing
that both Waring and Wilkins
would have 10 minutes apiece.
Wilkins said moderate groups
are free to operate at any time
in the South, particularly in areas
where Indignation has not been at
tempted, but there has been no
sign that they exist.
Waring said Indignation would
result in lower school standards,
and that minor incidents of class
room discipline would be magni-
fled into racial problems.

Controversial Pay TV Issue Needs
To Be Decided On Merits
Jacksonville, Texas Progress


In this session of Congress- not all the decisions
will be in the traditional combat of Defense for
egn aid and assistance to various parts of our domes
tic economy.
One controversial issue due to be highighted in
new hearings by the House Interstate and Foreign Com
merce Committee is the question of pay TV
The Federal Communications Commission already
has recommended that three cities with four or more
TV channels be selected testing ground for pay
TV over three-year period
In the Fees view, this setup would assure fair
test without interfering with standard network ele-
vision programming.
many the controversy has gained steam has
asked the FEC to delay decisive action until after the
hearings promised for the 1859 congressional session
Pay TVS adverSaries declare it is plan to compel
the American viewing public to pay for all it's elevision
entertainment Some think it would violate the free
dom of the airwaves The networks and motion picture
theater operators are among the chief opponents.
Proponents argue in response that pay-as-yOu-look
televlson might be just the spur TV needs. It is no
secret the industry has been in difficulties program
costs have mounted and TV audiences have turned
from kind after another of the standard forms of
TV entertainment presented.
More than few seasoned TV coumnists and critics
noting what they regard a downward trend in the
level OF TV shows, are calling for improvement. At
least one thinks pay TV deserves it's innings
Looking at the matter from the viewpoint of the
American public, it is hard to why Congress in the
end should not be receptive to the idea of letting the
FCCs recommendations be carried out.
The arguments pro and unlikely to be settled
without some sort of fair test and that in fact all that
is being called for at this time Pay TV, like any other
proposal which finds its way to the forefront deserves
to be weighted it's merits. Can't now proceed to
find out what they are?

Russian, Long live peace, long
live communism"
Mr.. Jackson was quoted by the
Soviet agency Tass. as having said
that "if President Eisenhower
were able to say, as Nikita Krush-
chew did in his report to the con-
gress, that there is not a single
political prisoner in the United
States, many leaders of the United
States Communist and labor move
ment could have been present
here"
Mr.. Jackson said many of his
comrades were "now languishing
in the jails of the United States"
Trade Tied To Joblessmen
He said his party had managed
to do away with "the scourges of
revisionism in it's leadership" and
was resolved to fight against what
he called sectarians and dogmat-
lists.
A message from his party said
millions of Americans considered
the prospect of expanded trade
between the United States and the
Soviet Union "of great conse-
quence." Such expansion, he said,
would open up possibilities for
liquidating unemployment in the
United States.
Mr.. Jackson was one of . num-
Der of foreign Communist leaders
who rose today to praise Mr..
Krushchev's bold new plans for
leading the Soviet Union to SUI
premacy over the capitalist world.

Grad. FeIIoWships
And Loan Fund
Given Howard j.
Three Graduate
Awards In Physics,
$11,O53 In Student
Loans Available

Washington, D. C. - Howard
University officials this week an
nounced the receipt of awards I'M
der two of the Federal Govern
ment's recently-established pro-
grams of the National Defense
Education Act.
The University will receive three
fellowships for graduate study in
physics under the Graduate Fell
lowships Program Of the Act, and

dents who apply for loans Uni
versity officials will consider three
factors. They are the income and

sources of his family and the
amount of money needed by the ap-
plicant to remain in school.

be a full time student. The loan
may be repaid in installments not
to exceed 10 years. This period
may be extended for borrower
who serves in the armed forces
during the 10 years.
Another provision of the pro-
gram permits borrowers who be-
come full time teachers on the ele-
mentary or secondary level to de-
duct 10 per cent of the amount of
the loan for each year, up to five,
of service as teacher.
In all, $71,276 has been made
available to colleges and universe

Sorry, Bud, but 1 amt in no

months while setting around nv
favorite spots along the old stroll
and always with my Fish and Beer
before me, and especially as late
as August turn into September,
and the sombre sky began to reflect
the coming Of the winter months,
many a time the conversation
among the regular Parish Streeters
was on the subject of the kind
of winter time that we were GO
ing to have, the conclusion being
that there amt going to be no
winter time, especially after the
fellow in LIFE drawed all the
maps and charts and wrote all that
stuff about the glaciers pulling
back farther north, the tropic COM
ing up farther this way, and ba-
nanas growing up here like they
do down in South America, where
the Lord intended them to grow. I
heard some more talk since these
last two cold snaps come an
caught the Parish Street Cats with
them fancy summer tt m shirts
and breeches, who when they had
some change in their jeans forgot
about their winter clothes and went
right on figuring that it amt going
to be no more wintertime. One
brother who was backing away
from the chilly wind as he tried to
find the summer side around the
corner was hailed by a pal, who
had got himself shaped UP for the
wintertime, and as the fellow kept
backing away from the wind try
ing to get around the corner, this
is what he said =. . Well, Bud, you
had a chance to get ready during
them summer months and it looks
jest like the Lord is going to send
us some good wintertime this time,
and with this wind blowing like it
is, Bud, if you amt in no shape
now, you show is in bad shape.
