Prime Minister who OUT
clinched his television guest,
the American President, last
week is said to be tough and
ruthless on occasion.
The Labor leaders who are
rushing home from Moscow
and the most colorless con-
versotions anyone has ever
held with Premier Khru-
shchev have an organiza-
ton back of them which has
been long preparing for this
election. Privately, Laborites
are less confident than they
admit in public.
To a degree not generally
recognized in the United
States the Conservatives have
adopted the welfare state
and permitted it to expand
at what they delicately de-
scribe as its normal growth"
They have broken no new
ground but they have given
effective administration to
the policies they accepted as
inevitable.
1t is one Of Labor's prob
lens at this point that its
leaders demanded the more
flexible foreign policy Of the
present government. They
have found themselves fol-
lowing Macmillan to Mos
cow-and making no head
lines comparable to his.

third from the South-for-
mer Gov. John S. Battle
Of Virginia - then insisted
that an amendment to the
Federal Constitution is I'M
necessary to secure proper
enforcement of voting rights
because existing powers Of
Congress are adequate.
Perhaps the most contro-
versial section Of the report
is that which deals with al
legged discrimination on the
part Of educational institu-
tions which receive Federal
funds. It is signed by the
three Northern members
and says in part:
more than 50 billion a
year of Federal funds 60 for
educational purposes anc to
educational institutions. The
principal recipients Of these
funds are the Nations col
leges. universities, and other
institutions of higher educa-
ton. Whether unsupported
or privately financed, they
receive Federal grants and
loans both for their general
support and capital improve
ments as we'll as for research
projects, special programs.

The same three members
of the commission recon-
mend that Federal agencies
be authorized and directed
to withhold funds in any
form to institutions Of high
err learning, both publicly
supported and privately sup
ported, which refuse. on ra-
cial grounds. to admit stu
ents otherwise qualified for

But, unfortunately, the
three members who signed
that particular statement dis
regard the fact that. when
the Federal Government at
tempts to enforce one section
of the Constitution with re-
spect to Federal aid to educa-
ton, it opens up to similar
scrutiny the application OF
other parts of the Constitu-

A Commission Divided

SCIluOlS OF COileBeS are III
volved. II Is interesting to
note that the three Southern
m e m b ers-- Commissioners
Storey, Battle and Carlton -
do not think the Federal
Government should attempt
through its money power TO
police the schools. Their dis
sent is as follows:
I'VE cannot indorse a pro-
gram of economic coercion as
either a substitute for or a
supplement to the direct en-
forcement Of the law through
the orderly processes Of JUS
tice. as administered by the
courts.
Such a proposal by this

the Federal Government -
would drastically affect the
administration of privately
owned institutions of higher
education. Such action goes
beyond the scope Of the COM
missions duties"
Strictly speaking, all pri-
vate schools could be COM
PEELED under such a plan to
admit anyone. irrespective Of
race or creed or color, or else
forfeit tax exemptions and
other Federal Government
privileges.
1t is in the field of housing,
however. that the commits
sion finds itself wandering
far afleld from constitutional
principle. 1t says:
The need is not for a pat
tern of integrated housing. 1t
is for equal opportunity to
secure decent housing. i.
The Negroes need for an al
tentative to blockbuSting as a
wayof securing housing must
be met just as the legitimate
interests of white neighbour
hoods on the edge of Negro
expansion areas must be pro-
tected."
This sounds a bit reminis-
cent Of the separate but
equal" doctrines that used to
be applied by the courts be-
fore the 1854 Supreme Court
"desegregation" decisions. In
teresting enough, while this
very section on housing APP

this appearance Of unanim-
ity is Offset somewhat by a
supplementary comment by

Anyone who had the idea
that a national commission
to investigate civil rights"
could come up with a coher-
ent report after months of
study is bound to be puzzled
by the confusing and to some
extent contradictory recon-
mendations just issued by
the United States Commits
sion on Civil Rights.
Six members-three from
the North and three from
the South-made a consci-
entious effort to come to
grips with the civil rights
question as 1t affects regis
tration and voting, housing
and education. But the net
result is a sharp division be-
tween the six.
AS for voting rights. the
report presents an anomaly.

1t is necessary If the people
wish to take away from the

determine for themselves all
the different qualifications Of
voters apart from race or
color or sex. This is sound
reasoning. For, as noted
in these dispatches several
weeks ago. the constitution
today specifically gives the
States the right to define
such voter qualifications and
to provide. for instance. tests
to prove that a citizen can
read and write.

Political conservatives on
both sides Of the Atlantic are
riding high on the peace"
tide that conservative polit-
ical leaders have set loose in
the world.
Republican prospects for
our 1860 presidential election
are undeniably rising. Few
leading members Of the rel

Party will claim otherwise in
private. President Eisenhow-

with Soviet Premier Khru-

old Macmillan. (This Is not
uniting. For it was Mr..
Macmillan who prodded Mr..
Eisenhower to take the long
step Of meeting Mr.. Khru-
shchev.)
In Britain the growing
strength Of the Conservatives
is an absolute certainty. For
proof there is Mr.. Macmil-
lan's decision to seek the re-
election of his party and
himself in October, even
though his term does not
formally end until next May.
In England any Prime Min
lister has a right to go to bat

vately here an appeal for a

lance that was at least as

ent's own impression after
talks in London a few months
ago with Mr.. Macmillan and
Mr.. Gaitskell and their as
sociates was this: On foreign
policy these Britons were
about as close together as,
say, Senator Lyndon B. john
son, the Senate Democratic
leader, and Vice President
Nixon.
The plain truth is that
both the United States and
Britain, under conservative
leaders, for two years at min
imum have been moving to-
ward some form of accom-
mediation with Moscow. To
be sure, this process was
often delayed and even mo-
mentarily reversed here by
the late Secretary Of State
John Foster Dulles. Mr.. Dull
les was supposed to embody
resistance to negotiation. and
usually actually did. But
always there lowered in the
background the figure Of the
President himself. Few who
had watched Mr.. Eisenhower

determination to close his
public life with a cold war
armistice.

Indeed, 20 years of Demo-

The fact that neither of

fore the 1916 championship
game with the Chicago Bears,
Filchock and Merle Hapes were
accused of failing to report a

Neither player was charged
with accepting a bribe. Filchock
was permitted to play and was
the Giants outstanding player
in their 24-14 defeat. Hapes,
Giants halfback, was not al
