Federal Probers
Report Tonight
On Vote FINDINGS
BY the Associated Press

Staff investigators will report
to the Civil Rights Commits
sion tonight in Atlanta on their
inquiry into alleged denial OF
voting rights of Negroes in II
Louisiana parishes.
A spokesman said the entire
commission is expected to at
tend, but that he could not say
whether a decision would be
reached tonight on the ques-
ton Of future action in the
Louisiana matter.
The meeting will follow a
hearing in Atlanta by three
commission members in con-
nection with a study of race
determinations in housing
which was started last fall.
There already has been a pub
lie hearing in New York on
nOuSlng.-
The spokesman said the
Louisiana investigation was
based on SO complaints from
in and around Shreveport.
After investigators inter-
viewed the complainants, they
sought access to registration
records but were told that un-
der a State law only a reg
istered voter having a petition
signed by rs other registered
voters could view the records.
No members of the commits
sion staff are registered voters
in Louisiana.

before the Washington meet
ings.
But last week. Foreign Min
lister Selwyn Lloyd revised the
public image of his policies to
the point that American diplo-
mats were joking about his in
digestion from eating so much
crow.
The NATO briefer told re-
porters Mr.. Lloyd had enunci-
ated as British principle the
proposition that There can be
no question of disengagement. +"
Great Britain, he said, would
not accept solutions which
might lead to a weakening OF
or that could eventually
lead to the departure of Ameri-
can, British and Canadian
troops from the continent.
It sounded, indeed, as if Mr.
Lloyd had eaten humble pie.

Britain and France had In
mind.
II appeared likely that the
four would agree on this step
alone. leaving open for later
decision the possibility Of try
ing governmental collaboration
by East and West Germans.
At this point, then. the
Western alliance is less d.
yided in actually than in pub
lie appearance.
There are still significant
differences on the extent Of
risk that should be taken II
Premier Khrushchev insists on
going to the brink. But these
differences are likely to re-
main until the Allies are actu-
ally under the gun.
One Of the arts Of diplomacy
is postponing crises until they
go away.

INTERPRETIVE REPORT

ible" Britain to rigid" West
Germany. came out Of last
weeks sessions determined they
will not be a pushover for So
Wet Premier Khrushchev mere
ly because he makes threatens
ing noises. In that sense there
is unity.
But in q free alliance differ
ent peoples react to crises in
different ways. And govern
ments stay in power be reacting
TO crises in the way compatible
with their public opinion. That
breeds lack Of unity.
The Allied Pressures
In America and France, there
is overwhelming pressure for
either great flexibility or great
rightly.
In West Germany, there are
10 million refugees from Com
munist East Germany who are
a powerful force in elections
and they favor rigidity. There
are West German industrialists
who are less than eager to take
on the cost Of rehabilitating
their INDECENT cousins. There
are hard-headed leaders who
don't want to give up any bar
gaining positions in advance.
In Britain. on the other hand,
there is a powerful demand for
enough flexibility to avoid a
war over the same Germany
which plunged the British into
two previous disasters In this
century.
The diplomats who gathered
in Washington were acutely
aware of these attitudes and of
the need to prove the people
back home were being faith
fully represented. They acted
accordingly when they came to
Washington last week.
But when the diplomats met |
in privacy they also were aware
that their peoples had enough |
in common to unite in one big |
Western front if war became |
necessary. And it was on this |
ground that all of them were |
prepared to compromise where
necessary, or to gloss over diff !
ferences as cleverly as possible |
where it was not necessary to (
compromise yet.
The story of these carefully /
prepared compromises and
common denominator agree
ments" designed to conceal di-
vergences was the real story
of last weeks meeting.

among the Warsaw Pact powers
have them.
A freeze would deprive all
the others Of nuclear weapons,
and only incidentally include
West Germany.
Thus the effect Of Mr.,
Lloyd's statement Of principles
on disbursement was to con-
ceal the reluctance Of some
NATO powers to give West
Germany nuclear weapons and
at the same time TO keep open
the possibility that the Soviet
Union viii have to pay with
concessions II 1t wants assur-
ances that West Germany -
with the rest OF the NATO al
liance-will not in the end get

Berlin

Problems Of standing fast In
Berlin were equally compli-
Gated by varying requirements
of public and action policy.
British officials here have
been free to admit that their
sophisticated people. with two
recent wars against Germany
behind them, would find 1t
difficult to go TO war. even II
all the 30 million West Ber-
liners were in danger Of a Com
munist takeover.
West Germany. on the other
hand, has strong sentimental
attachments to Berlin and has
heavily committed the West to
them-in the name Of free
dom. The West Germans
would not say it to their al
hes and former conquerors,
but they would expect the
Western Big Three to go to
war over Berlin.
No Breakdown
The Big Three's public posi-
ton is that Berlin would be
worth a war. on the theory
that a backdown there would
only what Khrushchev's APP
petite even if the West could
stomach the dishonor of aban-
doning the 30 million West
Berliners.
British diplomats recognize
this, and have been able to take
a firm public position on this
fundamental issue because Of
British public opinions sensi-
tivity on Chamberlain's mis-
takes at Munich, In London,
too, the focus has been less on
firmness and more on clever
ness in evading a showdown
in Berlin by "flexibility" on
methods.
But the British would not
like to say publicly to what
extent they are privately COM
mitted to fight if the going gets
tough.
So it was in secret that the
British, French and Americans
agreed in principle last week
to use whatever force necessary
Iii force actually proves neces-
sary--to maintain the Vests
land and air access routes to
Berlin.
Even in the secret negotia-
tons. the British kept open one
While agreeing that
the Big Three must come back
and push through whatever
access route the East Germans
to close, they avoided
committing themselves on when
they would come back.

Secretary of State Herter are

Identification

Plans for the Step-by-step
Identification of Germany and
writing peace treaty for the
unified whole also cause quivers
in West Germany. among the
public and among the diplo-
mats.
The danger is that the world
will slide slowly into a position
Of recognizing East Germany
as a permanent fixture on the
European scene. For these
reasons, Bonn has come out
strongly against the Vests
plans for loose federation
and a draft peace treaty" be-
cause they involve an interim
recognition Of East German
sovereignty.
West German Foreign Min
lister Won Brentano shocked the
West by the f1rmness of his
stand. But he treasured the
people back home who we're
worried that the great slide
toward accepting the status
quo had begun.
On the other side is public
opinion in the uncommitted
world and the United States,
which has been taught to ex-
pect genuine effort toward
Identification.
So the dav after DR.. Won
rebuffed the advocates
of loose federation and detailed
peace treaty drafts, he let it
be known that West Germany
was, after all, ready to sit
down with East German Of
f1cials to form a mixed COM
for expanding nom
contacts between
the two Germanys.
This was, in fact, the first
step toward a loose federation

"a quick return. Mr.. Lloyd
wanted TO keep the question
open.
Britain probably would 20
along with a quick-return deci-
sion, even though 1t has not
formally agreed. And the pri-
vate sentiment among the Big
Three is that any delay should
be used for talking TO the
Soviet Union. not for bringing
In the United Nations.
Seek to Foil Red Moves
Neither France nor the
United States wants to give the
Communists or neutralist mem
bers Of the United Nations an
opportunity to .hamstring them
In a fast-moving Berlin crisis.
Both British and Belgian
Foreign Ministers mentioned at
the NATO meeting that the
West must be prepared to meet
a Communist attempt to stran-
gle Berlin economically by
bureaucratic delays, shipment
showdowns and general foot
dragging.
There are Western answers
to this technique. but they
involve definite risks.
Presumably to avoid undue
alarm among NATO allies,
these countermeasures are not
being banded about in public.
But one measure would be a
counterblockade Of Soviet ship
ping in the Black and Baltic
Seas. Another would be a cut
of Of West German shipments
to East Germany.
All these ideas have now
been referred to the working
group of experts, which re-
sumes its meetings in London
next Monday.

Question Of Western Unity
Has Yes and No Answers

West Germany. France and the
United States.
After q first painful reaction
in Britain. however. Londor
reporters were being treasured
that the idea Of q ceiling" OF
"carefully-inspected limitation
lof forces" actually remains AZ
one OF the components Of the
Western position.
CLOSED over in. this EXPOSE
ton was the proviso that the
inspection and limitation OF
forces would be possible only as
part Of a plan including moves
toward indignation Of the two
Germanies.
Whether the British govern
ment always has considered
its disengagement. or thinning
out. or force-limitation plan as
an integral part Of a broader
solution is stu a question
The likelihood is that it has
always been regarded as part
Of package solution.
On the other hand. Prime
Minister Macmillan probably
would have liked the Soviet
Union and his Labor Party op-
position to believe that he was
singing out disengagement for
separate treatment.
West German View
While disengagement is a
good public position for Britain,
however, it is a bad position
from West Germany's point of
view.
For q limitation of forces
would include a limitation of
weapons. Both would be made
to apply to the two Germanies
separately. thereby helping to
confirm the existence of East
Germany as a sovereign state.
If the limitations were ac-
cepted without definite steps
toward reunification, the reac-
ton in Germany would be
adverse. Pursuing the point in
isolation would also deprive the
West of one of its few good
bargaining points with the
Soviet Union.
Premier Khrushchev has made
it quite clear he wants to
forestall any Western transfer
of nuclear weapons to West
Germany. And he might be
persuaded to,pay something for
a Western pledge not to give
them. But he won't pay if he
believes he can get a weapons
freeze" for free.
Agree on Principle
To encase the varying West
ern public and private attitudes
toward this problem. Mr.. Lloyd
accepted last week a newly
invented principle that neatly
satisfied everybody.
There can be no discrimina-
ton, he told the NATO foreign
ministers, against individual
nation as to troops or weapons.
This put the emphasis on the
point that West Germany would
not be the only nation to be

allies and the Soviet Union
