doesn't always come away with
the notion that he is too hard to
understand. My own feeling for
some time has been that the
Presidents language was DELHI
erately fuzzy - because he does
not understand or even agree
with the sentiments that political
circumstances apparently demand
that he utter.
The President, for example,
just can't understand what all
that fuss is about civil rights.
What's everybody so mad about?
Why can't the Negroes let well
enough alone? Is there finer
gentleman anywhere than Sen.
Richard Russell of Georgia?
The demands of Republican
politics. are such that the Presi-
dent has had to act on several oc-
casions as if he had a burning de-
sire to right the wrongs against
Negroes. But the words just
couldn't come. He would talk "a
bout going slower" or the mod
crate" approach, but he just could
not work up any indignation on
the subject. So far as l can recall
there was only one exception:
that was when segregation ex-
tremists began to bomb schools.

On the other hand when it
comes to a subject like excessive

dent is against = it's not very
hard to understand what the
President is saying. The idea that
he wants to express are clear in
his own mind. Whether one "a

He then went on to say:

Soviet Newsmen
Irked by Charge
They Overute

NEW YORK. Aug. az (AP) .
- Ten Soviet newspapermen
who have been touring the I'm
tied States voiced annoyance
today at press coverage Of their
visit to Chicago.
They complained that one
Chicago newspaper, which they
did not identify, called them
great Russian eaters" or
great Russian gluttons," de-
pending on how you translate
from English to Russian and
back to English.
They said also there were
false reports that they bought
bottles Of whisky and were i'm
pressed by Chicago buildings.
The report Of over-eating
appeared to irk the Soviets as
much as anything. Actually,
they said, the Chicago weather
was so not they were not able
to eat much.
AS for whisky, Nikolai Abal-
kin. literary editor Of Pravda,
said:
IF we wanted to get loaded,
It wasn't necessary to 60 to
the United States. We could
have stayed in the Soviet IN
ion. Vodka is the best drink
in the world, anyway"
The group, which , visited
Washington, Philadelphia and
Buffalo in addition to Chicago
and New York, held q news
conference prior to leaving to-
morrow for home.

French Swiss Seek
More independence

BERN, Switzerland, July 4
(AP). "A French-speaking
Swiss minority, restless under
their German-speaking neigh
bors since Napoleon's day, try
to strike a blow for greater in
dependence tomorrow. The blow
isn't expected to amount to
much.
The French live in the Jura
region of the canton (state) of
Bern on the French frontier
For years the French have been
agitating for a breakaway. They
want their own French-speak-
ing state under the central
Swiss government.
They finally have won a
minor victory. The canton will
vote tomorrow on whether a

on the question of setting up a
separate French-speaking state.
