peace treaties with the COM
munist and West German re-
gimes.
2. He intends trying to break
up the Western package in
order to discuss separately those
parts of it which may interest
Moscow.
May Urge Talks Now
The British would not be
surprised if Mr.. Gromyko urged
that the separate peace talks
with the Germanys should be-
gin at once here in Geneva.
They expected him to say that,
since representatives of the two
regimes are in the conference
room, the big powers should
take advantage of their pres
ence.
Communist Spokesman here
said last night the Western
package proposal would get
careful study.
But Mr.. Khrushchev made
clear in a speech in Russia that
the Soviet position is exactly
what it has been.
He declared West Berlin
must become a free city,
Ishorn of its Western defense
forces. He renewed his call for
10 German peace treaty con
cluded jointly with the two &C
ltually existing German states. !"
and said again that the unifica-
| tion Of East ard West Germany
| is a question for those two gov
ernments to decide by them
selves.
Separate Treaty Threatened
He also threatened again to
sign a separate peace treaty
with East Germany If the West
does not go along.
These views, at complete
loggerheads with those of the
West, were presented in a
speech at Kishinev. Moscow
Radio broadcast them hours
latter Mr.. Herter had unwrappec
the Western package before the
conference here.
Soviet and East German
press organs unanimously re-
jected the Western plan. Tht
Soviet agency lass said the
proposals were biased on OBJ
solete conceptions which ignore
the existence Of two German
states
Pravda, the Communist Party
newspaper, termed the plan q
new version of old ideas whose
unsoundness already has beer
shown in life and in the prac-
tice of international relations.
The East German agency
Adm said the Western pro-
posals were completely unac-
ceptable and would turn all OF
Germany into a nuclear pow
der keg.
The Western leaders were
prepared - after a Soviet
'nyet"- Ito split up their pack
age and negotiate piecemeal
for a stop-gap arrangement on
Berlin. German reunification
European security and disar-
mament.
But before they offer to do
that, the Western ministers re-
quire some evidence that Mr.,
Gromyko is interested in seri-
Gus give and take on at least
one Of these issues that ap-
peared doubtful.
The Western plan would
make Berlin a united city
guaranteed by the Big Four
after elections under United
Nations or Big -Four supervi-
sion.
From that first phase, the
program would procee d
through three other steps: Cd

Discerns Widening Gulf
After carefully outlining
these new concessions at his
press briefing yesterday, Pierre
Baraduc, the French spokes-
man. faced the sticky questions
Had the Russians, in the last
four years, changed their own
line by making similar conces-
sions to the Western point OF
view?
No. indeed. Mr.. Baraduc re-
piled. In his opinion the Rus
slams. if anything, had moved
in the opposite direction.
Well then, the questioner
wanted to know wouldn't this
imply that if the Russians wait
another four years. the West
will go on and make even more
concesSions?"
Unfortunately. Mr.. Baradnc':
reply was lost in the hustle Of
the exiting crowd. And the
question, which comes so un-
comfortably close to the hear
of the Western predicament al
Geneva, remained unanswered

Russians CounterproposoI
Still Avoids No to West
by CROSBY s. MOVES


GENEVA. May i5.-They
haven't said nyet-yet.
Although the Russians have
countered the Western plan for
reunifying Germany with a
treaty proposal OF their own.
they have avoided any ofiicial
rejection OF the Vests plan.
There have been some unofii-
cial comments, however. that
must at least be described as
cool.
After the presentation OF the
plan by Secretary of State
Herter. Russian Foreign Min
lister oromyko had nothing
at all TO say about the allied
''package," now ofiicially
known as the western peace
plan" For his part. Mikhail
Kharlamov. the ofiicial Russian
spokesman. contented himself
with recalling q particular
passage from Mr.. oromyko's
opening speech the day before.
The plan, he said. raised so
many problems muddled to-
gether" as to form "a tight
knot impossible TO unite" As
Mr.. Gromyko had already
remarked:
"At present there exists q
great number of International
problems which. being unsettled.
overshadow the relations among
states. However, 1t would be
quite unrealistic, II not to say
hopeless, to try to consider all
these problems at once
Protests Questions
Having said this much. how
ever, Mr.. Kharlamov quickly
went on the defensive 1t is
not often that a Kremlin
spokesman is intimidated by
questions from newsmen But
the suggestion that he vas, in
fact, rejecting the allied pro-
posals out Of hand as "un-
realistic and hopeless" stung
Mr.. Khar!amov to the quick.
Promise Full Answer
The reporters. he protested,
should not 60 ahead of events.
When he spoke yesterday. Mr..
Gromyko had not even seen the
Western plan and drew his in
ferences from news reports.
The Russian position was clear:
They believed that two problems
Berlin and a German peace
treaty-should be disguised of
first. AS for the rest of the
Western proposals:
"Of course we cannot give
out opinion at random without
an opportunity to read the plan
properly and study it in de-
tail"
gestion that the Russians, in
theory. might find the Western
plan acceptable produced jolly
smiles of amusement from the
group of Soviet delegates
seated behind the microphones.
And as the questioning con-
tinued, Mr.. Kharlamov's pa
thence began to wear a little
thin.
Once they got around to it,
he promised, what we shall
say about this plan will be said
In a loud voice and you will
understand 1t clearly" Mean
while, both from the point of
view of theory and practice it
seems that some time is re-
CURED for study even if some
people don't want to give us
this time"

is not a self-serving campaign
for the benefit of Transfers.

been listening to arguments
from all sides. We haven't

wreath, which was the proper

dressed in the proper black and

that. And no one did.
Standardbrand fitted; he sue
ceeded; he was a respectable
man. So he moved to the suburb,
in the general vicinity of h e
country club. He was a generous
man. Every day he went to the
post office and every day he
dropped dime in the extended
hat of blind man who sat near
the steps of the building. Occa-
sionally he would drop quar-
ter in the blind mans hat, but
The Petal paper. [volume] (Petal, Miss.) 1953-19??, 1959-01-15

that was limited to the times a
business associate was with him.
In either case, dime or a quar-
ter, Standardbrand felt good in
side. He knew generosity was a
virtue, and virtue was a good
thing to have. He knew that to
be true, because someone had
told him so.
With the coming of success,
Sam Snopes began the publica-
ton of a newspaper, and it was
in accordance with the best ira
dition of Standardbrand journal
ism. His paper was a success.
His basic policy was to support
American Motherhood and stand
staunchly against sin. Once he
raised his subscription rate and
with that he came out against
man-eating sharks.
Standardbrand wore the uni
form of the day; he was always
well dressed, but never over
dressed. His shoes were shined
daily; and every Saturday he got
a haircut. And every Wednesday
night he went bowling, f r
which he drank one bottle of
standard brand beer with his as
sembly line friends. He fitted.
He was successful, and no one
questioned it, no one in his
world, that is. And one thing
Standardbrand did, first, last
and alw avs, was to avoid off
brands. He did not associate with
them. Of course, he recognized
an off brand when he saw it..
They looked different There
was something about them, but
just what it was he was not sure.
Naturally, he gave the matter no
thought; after all, why should
he? There was no profit in off
brands. Sam Snopes Standard
brand knew to his own satisfac-
ton that off brands were infe-
rior, and the cult to which he
belonged did not tolerate any
things inferior.
Whether or not I've given you
any sort Of picture of my ac-
quaintance is something else
don't know. In the event l have
| hope you can understand why
I have never had any patience
with him. Frankly, he has al
ways made me just little sick.
The other acquaintance of mine
I'd like to tell you about is nam
ed R e c tor Quincy Offbrand.
Like Standardbrand, Offbrand
went to the same school with all
the other children, but he didn't
like it. He especially didn't like
Sam Snopes Stanrdardbrand. In
school Offbrand made it point
to be a misfit. His grades diff
fered from those of the other
children; in the easy subjects he
always managed to fail; h G
difficult courses were a snap for
him. He would not read the same
books as the other Students; he
did not ask the same questions
and he most certainly did not
give the same answers. To him
such behavior was the thing to
do. He knew he was not of the
same mold. His pattern was diff
ferent; he was different prod
uct. He had every desire to be
different and, as you might ex-
pect, he attacked any and every
one who appeared the least bid
different from him.
When Hector @ uincey Off
brand went to college he too
lived up to his name Off
brand. He spent considerable
time in the library reading up
on subjects no one had knowl-
edge about and then would I'M
'dertake to disrupt classes with
questions on whatever happened
to be his present off brand sub
ject for the day. He held in con-
tempt anyone who was unfanil-
The Petal paper. [volume] (Petal, Miss.) 1953-19??, 1959-01-15

Offbrand often stated his philo-
sophical view; summed up it
was: Conformity begets revolu-
ton and since it does it is the
will of God, whoever He is.
To Hector Quincy Offbrand it
was fitting and proper that all
things in order be attacked and
destroyed. And in that respect
he was ambitious, because it was
becoming, fitting, and proper to
the cult to which he belonged.
He stayed away from civic clubs
as if they were a dreadful dis
ease of some sort. He held green
peas and mashed potatoes in
complete scorn. On Sundays he
made a pointed effort to tay
away from any church. Churches
were, he said, contemplate and
he understood them all. He was
critical of the Baptists, the Meth
odists, the Presbyterians, TIL e
Catholics and the Jews. To know
them, especially as he said he
did, was to be disguised by them
ALL He head the Bible for one
purpose: To add grist to his mill
of religious arguments. He said
that Jesus might have been a
pretty good fellow, but if he
were around today he'd be teach
ing school and therefore there
wasn't too much to Him.
Offbrand never made an eff
fort to say the right thing at the
right time; to him the whole
business was stupid and his con-
tempt was always obvious. Not
once in his life did he send flow
ers to the dead. or to the living.
By an odd coincidence, Hector
Quincy Offbrand went into the
newspaper business; by his
standards it was a success. He
managed to reduce his circula-
ton to zero in less than a year.
He opposed American Mother
| hood as racket and thought sin
was an admirable thing and
thought man-eating sharks ought
to eat more men and he ventur-
ed to name a few.
In his cult, Offbrand was
success; as an iconoclast, he fit
ted well. The thought of living
in a suburb revolted him, and
the thing he did was to pitch a
tent on the court house lawn.
On his infrequent trips to t h e
post office he noticed the blind
man who sat near the steps. The
thought of giving him a dime
never entered his mind; he knew
the blind man was working a
racket and that's all there was to
it. Offbrand wore the uniform of
the day and to him it was shirt
of crinoline which he had made
by himself. His shoes had never
once been exposed to polish; and
had a barber depended on Off
brand for a living he'd have
starved. Offbrand couldn't be
bothered with anything so petty
as good grooming. He fitted /.
in his cult, he fitted we'll. He
avoided standard brands, except
to attack them when he could.
They were different they
should be done away with. He
gave the matter much thought,
and why not? Hector Quincy
Offbrand knew full well tn a t
there were too many standard
brands in this world, and to him
they were by their very name
inferior to the off brands.

I'VE must not forget that MAORI
ties are not always liberals, and
may indeed be quite tyrannical.
1t is a short view of history to
equate simple majority rule, as
does Senator Douglas, with the
defense of civil rights"
AS an example he cites Presi-
dent Truman's attempts to break
the railroad strike a decade ago
by drafting railroad men into the
Army. It was held up by Sens.
Taft of Ohio and Wagner of New
York, after passing the House of
Representatives just two hours
after the President requested it.
X X X
SEN. DOUGLAS REPLIES -
The Senator from Illinois first
takes up Lippmann's argument
that majority of the entire SEN
ate should not have the power to
act on civil rights. In Douglas
opinion it sis obviously in the
tradition of John c. Calhoun" He
calls the Lippmann doctrine a
surrender to notification" and
says sit places a premium upon
resistance to the Constitution
and the orders of the Court -
and, in extreme situations, upon
lawlessness."
Douglas notes that his measure
to curb the fillibuster would al
low at least eight weeks of de-
bate "Mr Lippmann's example
of President Truman's emergency
strike legislation hardly streng-
thens his argument" Douglas as
serted. eff six days debate in the
Senate stopped the bad features
of that bill, as he points out, sure
ly the 8 weeks permitted our pro-
posal could do the same"
X X X
Would ending the fillibuster
destroy the rights of Southern
whites?
Douglas discusses this point ex-
tensively. He notes: g. the
smaller states and southern states
already have built-in protection
in the Senate of having 2 Sena-
tors for each state, regardless of
population. Thus the "a smaller
states with less than 20 per of our
population can block action by
the "A states with over 80 per
cent of our population :"
And he recalls that "the opera
ton Of the seniority system gives
those :. states a heavy pre-
ponderance of the powerful con-
gressional committee chairman
ships y
Surely" Douglas argues, "the
foregoing factors confer enough
power on the representatives of
a minority even under majority
rule in the Senate, without giving
to 33 Senators the right to block
action by IS, as the present rule
does"
