WILLIAM S. WHITE

Dixie is now opening a
quiet and poignant debate
within itself, between the
new South and the old. This
is the hard central issue:
What is the South's attitude
toward its traditional party.
the Democrats, to be In 1902
Within this central issue are
harsh and interconnected
questions.
Is there to 'be a Southern
bolt? II so, where will the
boilers 60? Can anytconceiv-
able Democratic presidential
nominee be tougher" on civil
rights than the Republican
candidate, whether he be
Richard Nixon or Nelson
Rockefeller? Will the bolt
ers-if there are to be any
hurl at both major parties "a
plague o. both your houses"
and SO try a third party
again?
The dilemma in one sense
is old. But 1t has grown SO
much sharper under today's
realities as now to be almost
a new dilemma. ;. One Of these
realities is that the South
will never again-not in 1860
and not later-be able to veto
the nomination of an unwel-
come Democratic presidential
candidate. Another is that
the national movement to-
d, ward increased rights for
Negroes, though bedeviled on
both sides by extremists, is
going forward on history's
tide.
A third is that the most
able of the Southern poll
ticians are themselves now
on the side of a slow accept
ance of this reversible
change. And a fourth is that
the South can no longer af-
ford to risk a break with the
national Democratic Party so
wide as to put in jeopardy its
historic and special power in
Congress. SouthernerS still
largely control the legislative
process, in part because of
tn cir well-known seniority
but in part because of their
great political talent.
The plain fact is that the
South must make in 1860
perhaps its most fateful po-
litical decisions since the Re-
construction. Those who wish
to remain in the Democratic
Party, come what may. are
vastly in the majority. Cer-'
tainly this is so among the
South's party leaders. And

Leader Attacks u. S. While He Seeks
To Attract American Tourists to Cuba

The curious instability in
the mans makeup is re-
vealed most clearly in his
sincere efforts to have tourists
come back to the island. It is
a magnificent place to 60 for
pleasure, for sightseeing, for
relaxation. The people are
friendly. The climate is I'M
surpassed. Tourist dollars
were as great a source of
income as sugar. And, from
the start, Castro has urged
tourists to come. Recently he
set aside the sum Of $4,000
to entertain a convention Of
travel agency and tourist or
CARNATIONS.
Yet, while he does this, he
denounces the United States.
He stirs up i'll will against its
people and its Government.
The Cuban peasants, who
never thought of entertaining
hatred, are being taught it.
This is senseleSs. 1t defeats
what he seeks to do.
Agrarian reform was long
overdue in Cuba--aS 1t is in
other Latin nations. Mexico,
which some years before
seized the oil wells owned by
the United States and Euro
pean interests, brought of
reform without too much
difficulty. The wells were paid
for. Land was then taken
from foreign owners. But the
schedule was not abrupt.
There was just compensation.
The Roosevelt administra-
ton assisted the Mexicans to
do this. The owners were not
happy. But in time the i'm
provement in the Mexican
economy demonstrated the
wisdom of the moves.
Castro could have had
similar support. But from the

"Fidel," SAID one of Cuba's
economists soon after the
victory Of the Castro revolu-
ton, sis at once our greatest
asset and liability. He is an
inspiration; he is a dis
organizer. He will not give
attention to detail. Yet details
cannot be attended to with
out him"
At that time most Of Cuba
was on an emotional jag such
as follows any revolution
against a monster such as
Batista. Many persons had
suffered and died in the long
struggle against tyranny.
Those from the outside
who shared the pleasure of
Batista's removal could not
really assay the situation.
One thing was sure. The
masses of people-the long
exploited, miserably poor, IL
literate peasants - were for
Castro. So were most Of the
teachers and intellectuals.
They still are his loyal sup
porters. The peasants will
never again 60 back to their
old status save under the
most severe repression.
In those early days there
was always the presence Of
doubt; The economists sum-
ming up was apparent. Fidel
was a person Of tremendous
energy and enthusiasm. He
could, and did, inspire. But
he was not a man for the
necessary boredom Of bureau
cracy. He was not suited for
sitting in an Office and max
ing decisions. Yet, nothing
could be done without his
okay. And this was not easy
to come by. Often he could
not be found for hours. When
found he was not always
ready to give attention. So
doubt persisted.

The long-sutfering patience
OF the United States Govern
rnent with the present Gu
ban government is diminish
ing rapidly. Fidel Castro's err
ratio behavior, which could
cause the collapse Of the
whole economic structure In
Cuba, has now prompted the
State Department here to
speak rather bluntly to the
authorities in Havana. There
Is q well-deflned belief that
the Soviet government is in
on some Of the things the
Castro government is doing
to cause estrangement with
the United States.
For some time past Castro
declined to receive the Amer
lean A m b assa dor, Philip
Bonsal, and the latter, after
a lengthy conference recent
ly with officials here, was
finally instructed to do some
frank talking to the Cuban
revolutionary government.
The unusual procedure was
adopted whereby the Depart
ment Of State made public
in Washington the gist of
the remarks which Anbassa-
dor Bonsal made to the Gu
ban government. The ofticial
statement issued here ex-
pressed "shock and amaze
ment" over the charges of
Fidel Castro that the United
States Government had
somehow permitted the al
legged bombing" of Havana.
No evidence has been submit
ted by the Cuban govern
ment, says the State Depart
ment, that "the aircraft in
question was armed, dropped
bombs: or strafed during its
hight over Cuba"
The United States Govern
ment also expressed serious
concern over what it said
seemed to be deliberate and
concerted efforts in Cuba to
replace the tradition !
friendship between the Gu
ban and American people
with diStrust and hostility"
This is about as strong a
statement as has come from

The word from Texas is
that the presidential candi-
dacy of Senator Lyndon
johnson is attracting Demo-
Gratis of all shades Of politi-
cal opinion within the State,
including loyalists, conserva-
tiveS and admirers Of Dwight
D. Eisenhower.
Nobody is quite willing to
say that this harmony will be
enduring in an organization
long noted for the scope and
bitterness Of its family fights.
What seems to be happening,
however, is that Texas is re-
spending to the notion Of
taking over the White House
in 1860 in o manner which
has delighted the Senator's
friends and astonished his
enemies.
There still are holdouts
and grimaces in some quar-
tiers. But the Johnson Clubs
are springing up over the
State and the Senate Ma
jority Leader is reliably re-
ported to be feeling no pain.
The same cannot be said
for the Johnson rivals for
the Democratic nomination,
SO many of whom will be
serving under his manage
ment Of the Senate next
year. Nor does it please that
wing Of the party which dis
likes his policy of co-opera-
ton with the Eisenhower
administration. 1t foresees
only another winter Of dis

1t will be something of an
innovation when the Senate
is directed by an aggressive
candidate for President and
the House will be under the
command of that candi-

1t was Speaker Rayburn
who launched the johnson
boom, and he says frankly
that he expects to give it a
good deal Of his personal
attention.
The situation is reminiscent
of the days when the late
Senator Taft was Mr.. Re-
publican and frankly tailor
ing Republican policy in the
Congress to his own presi-
dental measure. But there
are major differences.
Senator Taft never became
the Senate leader until after
Mr.. Eisenhower had put
period to the Taft presidential
hopes by winning the 1852
Republican nomination and
the election. Senator Taft
was certainly the most in
fiuential Republican voice on
the Hill and the most quoted,
but prior to 1852 he acted
as policy chairman. not
leader. The leadership was
in the hands Of the late Sen
ator Wherry and, briefly,
Senator Bridges. during Sen
ator Taft's most active presi-
Dental campaigning.

years to the counsel Of a bril-

to operate schools on a private
basis. The average yearly cost
per pupil in the South today
is $3l1 in the public school sys-
tenn. This would jump to $625
per pupil in private schools.
Could the South afford to
double its expenditures for edu-

finds school costs prohibitive.
Vast strides have been made
in the South in the last five
years to improve schools and
colleges. 1t seems hardly likely
that all Of this will be scrapped.

Policy to Increase Strife
The court conflicts will con-
tinue to grow in number and
intensity. The National Asso-
citation for the Advancement Of
Colored People is unhappy at
the slow pace Of indignation in
the Deep South. The associa-
ton has challenged the pupil
placement laws Of Arkansas
and Virginia. It has asked the
courts TO reverse the grade-by-
grade program Of Indignation
found in Nashville, Tenn.
The term "token Indignation"
is beginning to play an impor-
tant role. A city may adopt an
integrated policy, in keeping
with a court order, but then
it will limit the number Of
Negroes admitted to white
schools. In some cases only
two or three will be admitted
as a token" compliance with
the law. This has taken place
in North Carolina. where fewer
than so Negro pupils are in the
all-white schools.

not lulled into false confidence.
