to have the Geneva conference

difference between East and West
that threaten world peace. Ger
tain to be included are:
Q An orderly gradual reduction
of armed forces in East and West
Germany, parts of Poland and
Czechoslovakia. and later other
areas.
. A package on disarmament,
probably including a ban on nu-
clear testing, a plan for the pre-
vention Of surprise attacks, and
collective guarantee for every
European state against aggression
by another.
. Gradual Identification of Ger
many, beginning with direct and
practical working level negotia-
tons between the German Federal
Republic and the German Demo-
cratic Republic on such things as
freer communications, trade rela-
tons, cultural exchanges and
similar points of contact. Once
under way the direct negotiations
would go on to other and more
important areas until a practical
confederation had been achieved.
The Vests previous insistence on
Identification through free cleo
tons has been put aside as I'M
realistic at this time.
o Settlement Of the Berlin
problem on the basis of Big Four
guarantees, possibly with United
Nations participation. The pres
ent legal position of the three
Western powers in West Berlin
would be left intact under this
plan, but occupying forces would
be sharply reduced to token de-
tachments. In the future, if the
gradual identification plan for
Germany works out. Berlin would
become again the capital of the
united nation and foreign partici-
patton would be withdrawn.
. A proposal that a peace
treaty with Germany, one of the
chief Soviet demands, be deferred
until identification had been
achieved. In place Of a treaty
now, the West may urge the So
Wet Union to agree to a state
ment Of principles" which would
govern relations with Germany in
the period before effective unfit

taken by Britain on the one hand
and the West Germans on the
other, the NATO deliberations
have apparently resulted in agree
ment in general, ie., that Berlin
must not be abandoned, but in
considerable disagreement on the
methods to be employed in holding
fast.
Sentiment among the NATO
representatives appeared to be
virtually unanimous, however,
that any real Encouragement" in
Central Europe. any large-Scale
withdrawal of troops or appropri-
atoms, would be disastrous. There
was also general agreement that
the troops of the United States,
Britain and Canada now stationed
on German soil be left where they
are. But the overtones of negotia-
ton remain--the West, said Act
ing Secretary of State Christian
A. Herter, must employ military
strength, and the courage to en-
ploy that strength, if required !"
by the Berlin developments. But
Mr.. Herter went on to say that
the West. through NATO, should
be ready to explore any chance
of achieving through negotiation
a genuine resolution of the issues
which threaten peace"
The NATO meeting has, at the
very least, brought about agree
ment between the United States,
Britain, and France that what
ever steps are necessary to MAIN
tain the Vests position in Berlin,
even if they require the use of
armed force, must be resolutely
taken. But details are to be left
to the deliberations of the foreign
ministers meeting now scheduled,
with Soviet approval, for May II

notation. sometimes to the detri-
ment of prospects for constructive
congressional action.
The fact that swift action on a
labor reform bill would rebound
to the credit of Senator Kennedy
has unquestionably slowed the
progress Of such a bill through
Congress and perhaps Jeopardized
its prospects of passage.

The Supreme Courts 1854
school desegregation decision has
come of age in Virginia.
After five years of massive re-
sistance, interposition and allied
ideas, a group Of the States own
leaders last week came to the con-
clusion that the ruling was here to
stay and Virginia must adapt itself
to it.
This is the backbone of the
new school plan that a 40-mem-
Der legislative study commission
came forward with last Thursday,
and which goes to the General
Assembly at Richmond tomorrow.
BY comparison with what has
been tried before in Virginia, the
new plan offers a moderate APP
proach for coping with integra-
ton.
For the first time, it recognizes
that conditions vary in different
parts of the State. Localities are
allowed to decide if they want
to accept soma indignation in
public schools or turn to pri-
vate education. 1t rejects the
idea of abandoning State-sup-
ported public schools altogether,
but offers inducements for private
education wherever localities re-
fuse to support public schools.
Massive Resistance
The massive resisters - and
there are still plenty Of them
around-heretofore have held all
localities in a strait-jacket which
forbade any indignation, even at
he cost of closing public schools.
Virginia endured nearly a half
year of idle schools in three COM
rnunities before State and Federal
courts killed the old resistance
laws. Gov. Almond reluctantly
conceded there was nothing more
he could do to bar admission of
Negroes to white classes. and
limited indignation came peace
fully in scattered parts of the
State.
From the time Negro students
walked into white classes on Feb

The Four Contenders

The rare honor, If 1t comes,
will probably be conferred on one
Of four men: John Kennedy Of
Massachusetts, Hubert Hum
phrey of Minnesota, Lyndon john
son Of Texas, or Stuart Syrnington
of Missouri.
The competition among the
quartet Of contenders has pro-
vided fascinating sideshow in
the first three months Of the
seth Congress. Last week it pro-
voked retiring @. o. P. National
Chairman Meade Alcorn to this
bitter comment:
Americans can place little re-
lance in a Senate where every
vital issue is in the hands of a
Democrat avidly seeking political
promotion at the expense of his
party colleagues.
'In the welter of manuevers
to Stop Kennedy and Stop Sy-
mington' and stop Johnson and
Stop Humphrey the national
interest is bound to suffer-"
There was an echo Of century
old history in the complaint of
Mr.. Alcorn. In 1868, when Con-
gress was equally preoccupied with
presidential ambitions, Andrew
johnson had said on the floor
of the Senate:
Legislation is impaired and
public business ruined because the
Senate is President-making. I.
Damn the presidencyI It is
not worthy Of the aspirations of
q man who desires to do right"
Democrats would sharply dis
pute Mr.. Alcorn's charge that the
casual campaigning done thus far
by the four Senator's in question
has interfered with the work Of
Congress. They could, indeed,
make an impressive case for the
collective contribution to legisla-
tive achievement made by the
four in the last three months.

Virginions Take
A Realistic Step

ruary 2. the old brand Of massive
resistance was lost cause. It
then became a question of how
far the State would go to mini
mize indignation.
Extreme segregationists wanted
to go all the way and pull the
State out of the public school
business. A referendum on that
score would have given them a
field day for oratory. The chances
are they could have mustered a
majority for abandoning public
schools as long as it was offered
in the name Of segregation, with
the other alternative being in
tegration.
But the die-hards were out
numbered on Gov. Almonds COM
mission. Members were repre-
sentative of all parts Of the State
not just Southside which had
been running the segregation
show. Pleas for repeal of Section
1919 of the State constitution which
requires operation of a public
school system were rebuffed. The
final report came out with the
support of 81 commission mem
bers. some with reservations.
State Senator Mosby G. Perrow,
jr.. of Lynchburg headed the
commission.
Almond and Harrison
Gov. Almond has not yet COM
mented on the plan, nor has Vir-
ginia Attorney General Albertis
S. Harrison, jr. But their think
ing is recognizable throughout it.
With leadership so subtle the
massive resisters were unaware
of a change of direction until it
had happened, Gov. Almond and
Mr.. Harrison appear to have
brought Virginia around to a more
reasonable course than the one
pursued previously.
The report proposes a combi-
alton of local assignment plans,
plus scholarships -previously called
tuition grants-for children who
prefer to attend private schools.
