SIGNINGS

Continued FROM rage Del
club came up with a better
offer.
Took Only 2 Minutes
Weiss said afterward the
signing took only Q minutes.
II knew once we could face
each other across a table we
could reach some agreement, "
the general manager added.
1T was a matter of a small
misunderstanding-a matter of
who would get in touch with
whom"
While no figure was dis
closed officially, Weiss acknowl-
edged that Mantle took a cut,
his first as a Yankee.
II told Mickey that when
you're with a club five years
and you jump from $1,000 a
year to $70,000-odd, you can't
expect to be cut only $1,000
when you've had a bad year"
Weiss said.
The general manager said
the management was concerned
about Nantes attitude and
about public relations.
We're as concerned about
Nantes popularity as he is"
Weiss added. I'VE want the
public to like him. We want
him to win back his popularity
with the fans"
After signing, Mantle dressed
quickly and went to the ball
park where his teammates
were working out.
Mickey Appears Glum
Mantle was glum and reti-
cent when he got to the playing
field.
II took a very good cut--I'l
tell you that" he said in an
swer to questions.
Someone said Weiss had an
nounced the agreement was a
compromise.
"A compromised" Mantle
asked. Then he shook his head,
as If to deny it.
Mantle said he changed his
mind about refusing to report
to camp on the advice OF two
close friends who are smarter
than I am"
They told me should get
down here and get in shape"
he said. II think one of the
reasons I had a bad year last
season was that I got off to
such a bad start. I want q
good start this year"
Mantle said he weighed 200
pounds - only 2 pounds more
than his weight at the same
stage last spring. with three
or four days running, I'll be
in good shape" he added.
The outfielder explained he
had returned the original con-
tract with a note explaining his
objections. II didn't hear from
them Cthe management until
a month later" he said. But
Mr.. Weiss said he tried to get
in touch with me when ] was
in Miami for the ballplayers'
golf tournament. It was a mis-
understanding"

Truman Fears for Democrats

his interest in keeping the
party together as a collective
campaign instrument.
In other words, the former
President doesn't really think
that the question of who is
to be the candidate is so i'm
portant as the question Of
how and on what degree Of
party unity he will be run.
He believes that the lack
of presidential competition
within the Republican Party
can be made to hurt the pro-
spective G.. o. P. nominee
Vice President Richard Nixon.
He believes a good fight
among the Democrats can
be helpful to them-to a
point. But his recurring night
mare is that the fight might
get entirely out of hand and
so benefit only the Repub-
licanS.
At least one political OBJ
server doubts the theory that
the Republicans will inevita-
bly, be damaged, on balance,
simply because nobody is con-
testing Mr.. Nixon for the
nomination. This one OBJ
server also doubts that the
Truman policy of limiting
Democratic mitigating will
be realizable.
But the important thing is
that Mr.. Truman thinks he
can bring it off and that he
considers it perhaps the big
gest obligation he ever had
since leaving the presidency.
No one will ever completely
understand him without first
realizing that to Mr.. Truman
the Democratic Party is,
rightly or wrongly, quite lit
orally everything.

submitted the dispute to
Congress, any Government
imposed settlement that the
Congress would have brought
about through t compulsory
arbitration, plant seizure or
some other Government de-
vice, would have been higher
than the one agreed upon at
this point"
Where does a labor union
chief get the power to extort
an even higher wage settle
ment through political influ-
ence in Congress than he
would have obtained by col
lective bargaining? Mr.. Nixon
confeSses defeat in advance
as he declares:
Il can only say that any
objective observer would have
to agree that there could be
nothing more irresponsible
than to place before the
Congress in an election year
the complicated and poten-
TALLY explosive issue of labor
management relations"
Yet Mr.. Nixon, in conclud-
ing his letter, adds that he
told the representatives of
the major steel companies
and Of the union at a dinner
at his home after the settle
ment that "the people of the
country will not tolerate an
other massive struggle Of this
type in the steel industry"
But how can the country
put into effect any policy of
strike prevention when the
leaders in Congress, includ-
ing the Vice President, are
unwilling today to do battle
for a principle and, instead,
find 1t better to yield to
political expediency? How
can the issue be brought be-
fore the people if both parties
squelch 1t? Must America "in
an election year" suspend its
ideals, forsake its principles
and let special interests-by
buying votes in Congress with
campaign contributions-pro-
tect themselves against re-
medal laws designed to safe
guard the public INTEREST,"

Actually. this point causes
him more concern as of now
than does the question as to
who is to be chosen by the
Democrats.
This explains why, in his
recent speech at the Demo-
cratic campaign dinner in
Washington, he dropped his
small bomb that there were
several possibilities, beyond
the present major figures, for
the nomination.
His action reflected a Tru-

Ex-Chief Seen Concerned at Members
Capacity for Defeating Themselves
WILLIAM S. WHITE

What increasingly haunts
Harry - former President
Harry s. Truman-is not so
much fear Of the Republican
opposition. 1t is more an
anxiety over the built-in
capacity Of the Democrats to
beat themselves in the presi-
dental race by unlimited
fighting among themselves.
At rs, Mr.. Truman is for
the first time becoming really
conscious Of the rapidity of
times passage. In conversa-'
ton with him it is easy to
realize that the heavy phys
ical demands made upon
him by his party are much
harder to bear than they
used to be. He does not COM
plain. But this formerly tire
less man is now capable both
Of showing and of admitting
fatigue.
Indeed, one gets the i'm
preston he would be far less
active than he is in this
campaign year if he did not
feel one Of the deepest obli-
cations of his long career to
lie upon him. This is his
duty, as he sees it, to cajole
land force all factions in
the Democratic Party to show
some restraint toward all
other factions.
It may seem a strange
thing. But 1t Is true that this
old expert in the give 'em
hell" technique counsels a
policy Of marked tolerance

Georgia is the Deep South
State where the school crisis
is now most acute. On look
ing at it, one is saddened to
see how the shadow Of what
may be called Faubus' folly
lies over it and enormously
complicates the necessity Of
facing the facts.
Gov. Faubus became the
symbol of all the deceptive,
deceiving propaganda that
States were sovereign; that
State law was able to deny
Federal law; that the United
States Supreme Court had
violated the Constitution of
the United States; that States
could interpose their author
ity against that Of the Fed
eral courts and Government.
In the years that have
passed since the court deci-
sion, the saddest Of specta-
cles was to see good people
deceived by the fire eaters
and the breast beaters. The
school Of You're another"
began to flourish and every
Northern discrimination, Of
which there are many, was
described and denounced as
II that in any measure had
relevance to the South's
problem Of facing the fact
Of constitutional law.
1t became almost fashion,
able to demand OF the news
agencies that they bring in
reports Of Negro crime and
housing violence and to give
them great prominence, as if
that did more than prove

Civil Rights Move Under Way

because the younger con-
servatives are accepting the
Nixon leadership.
This was amply proved last
week when House Repub-
licans elected the successor
to the late Representative
Simpson Of Pennsylvania, a
profound conservative, as
chairman of their House
Campaign Committee. Mr..
Simpson had named Rep
resentative McCulloch of Ohio
as apparent to this i'm
portant party post. The
Nixo n-Halleck leadership
easily beat back Mr.. McCul-
loch with their own selec-
ton, Representative Miller of
New York.
A gentlemen's agreement
not to start the civil rights
debate until mid-February
was reached long ago by
Senate Leaders johnson and
Dirksen. They hope to move
with unusual speed by taking
some House bill as a starter
which can, after suitable
amendment, be sent to con-
ference between the two
chambers instead Of having
to run the gantlet of House
debate.
At first glance, the Attor-
ney Generals plan for court
appointed referees has the
principal merit OF taking the
heat off any President. The
original civil rights commits
sion proposal would have had
him appointing the vote reg
sters. Mr., Rogers declared

Recently one Of the news

with pride to the fact that
Virginia was now providing
the South with leadership tc-
ward q desegregated educa-
ton controlled by the pupil
placement law. They have
learned 1t is not as bad as
they had feared.
In the public interest it
needs to be said, once more,
even though 1t is a painful
facing Of facts, that the
United States Supreme Court
did not act unconstitutionally
when 1t reversed a decision
Of more than half-a- century
ago. The Southern cause" is
not gaining friends in the
North. The State laws which
contradict Federal laws or
constitutional interpretations
have no validity. They need
only formal testing to be
declared unconstitutional.
The small subsidy sums
suggested as payment for pri-
vate education are likely un-
constitutional. They certainly
are woefully inadequate. The
painful fact is that the casio
choice is between a fully sup
ported system of public edu-
cation and a condition of
economic disaster and a cruel
setback to the educational
opportunities and the future
Of roughly a quarter Of a

General Rogers. has come up
with a substitute arrow for
the Nixon quiver, a proposal
for court-appointed referees.
The President spoke of it
with considerable candor at
his press conference this
week, saying Mr.. Rogers
thinks he's got a scheme to
make the insurance of vot-
Ing rights more secure"
This scheme" will be
thoroughly debated. Demo-
Gratis are not in a position,
however, to ignore any an
chors to windward, no mat
ter who invents them. The
problem OF the South is with
them always and may be
aggravated this year because
Senate Majority Leader
johnson Of Texas is a can
didate for President.
Three other Senators
Humphrey, Kennedy, Sy-
mington - constitute with
Senator johnson the big
four Of the Democratic con-
test for the nomination. So
the heat would be on
the Democratic congressional
leadership even If Senator
johnson did not have ambi-
tions. Many Democrats will
argue for a stronger measure
than they are likely to get.
The end result is likely to
be something that Senator
johnson thinks his fellow
Southerners can be per-
suaded to swallow and that
Mr.. Nixon thinks he can get
the President to sign. Old

important in this maneuver

Maybe Vice President Nix
on didn't intend 1t that way,
but the letter he made pub
lie a few days ago explaining
the background of the steel
strike settlement is a dra-
matte revelation of the plight
Of the American people in a
presidential campaign year.
1t implies that the unions can
buy a majority in Congress by
campaign contributions. It is
also an admission Of the
tremendous monopoly power
being exercised today by ull-
ion leaders in fixing wages
and, indirectly, prices
throughout American indus
try.
Mr.. Nixon was replying to a
letter of inquiry from Alex
ander F. Jones, executive edi-
tor Of the Syracuse IN. "
Herald-Journal and a former
president of the American
Society of Newspaper Editors.
The Vice President, discuss
ing with the utmost candor
the background Of the steel
negotiations in which he
played a conspicuous part,
says:
"Mr. Mcdonald (head of
the steel union) came to these
negotiations in a stronger
position than the companies.
He had just won from alu-
minum and can without a
strike hig her settlements
than the one he eventually
agreed to accept with the
steel companies. He also
believed that if the dispute
were not settled and had to
be sent to Congress by the
President. he (Mr. McDon-
ald) would do better in a
Congress heavily dominated
by members elected with un-
ion support in an election
year than would the COM
panies. Considering the
strong bargaining position of
the union. their agreement to
q settlement which was less
than the pattern that they
had been able to negotiate
with can and aluminium was,
in my opinion, Q major
achievement"
What is the Vice President
saying? Simply that one
