Fruits of Extremism

France and Algeria alike are reap
Ing today bitter and bloody harvest
from the extremism that has been
nurtured in the North African territory
for more than six years past.
Atopposite poles are two forces.
One is made up of the die-hard Euro
pean settlers, the colons, many Of them
Algerians through more than one gen.
Grafton, who have defied all effort at
compromise or conciliation in their
stubborn insistence that Algeria Is as
French as France itself. The other is
the National Liberation Front, the FIN,
an independence movement that has
been driven by the colon extremism
constantly farther from any mood Of
compromise, and which now speaks
through government = in exile in
nearby TuniSia.
Literally towering In the center Is
President de Gaulle, displaying both
physical courage and political states
manship in his efforts to impose a
formula Of sanity and goth century
realism to this problem. It was more
than year ago that the French Presi-
dent decided upon self-determination"
as the only instrument for a solution,
clearly with the hope that the choice
would be one of self-government but
still closely linked to France. Setting
January for popular referendum,
General de Gaulle went to Algeria. last
week end to encourage support for his
plan. The first reaction was shattering
one of violence from the colonS, while
De Gaulle himself was being hailed as
friend by the Algerian Moslems. AS
violence begot violence, the latter-for
the most part quiescent during the years
Of strife between the two extremist
factions-rose in riot against the colons
Only the French military, apparently
loyal to the De Gaulle authority, thus
far seems to have prevented an all-out
"holy war; and even so the casualties
have been high.
AS Of today, the cause of peace or
reasonableness is fragile one. The
colons, one million against 10 million,
almost suicidally are maneuvering
themselves into state Of virtual siege.
The hitherto relatively lethargic ma
jority Of the Moslem population appears
to be drawing closer to the FLN-unless
the French President can perform some
new miracle Of breaking down the in
transigence Of the right and the left.
For this he must have the unquestioned
loyalty Of the army, always key factor
in French politics, and sense of genu-
Inc understanding in Paris and Algiers.
The forthcoming chapter in this
crisis could have deep impact upon
France and upon the entire Mediterra
nean-African battle-ground in the global
cold war.

MerriIy We Roll AIonq

Many of those who read
Mark A. Lillis' letter entitled
Red Light for Public Trans
it; Green for Highways" will
agree with him completely.
Those Of US who favor the
development Of public trans
portation over the frantic
building of freeways may
even be in a majority. I seem
to remember in reading re-
ports of the Mass Transpor-
tation Survey that 1t was
found that large numbers of
people would actually prefer
to use public transportation
If it were available.
But these are only people,
unorganized individuals, and
we must admit that this is
not a Government of people
but OF pressure groups. H. H.
Goodman, vice president,

Association. stated at the
1858 Hearings on Washington
Metropolitan Area Transpor-
tation Problems: I'VE believe
that If the manufacturers Of
components of electric rail-
way equipment were as active
in influencing transportation
policies as are the automo-
bile and petroleum producers,
the Federal Government
would give financial assist
ance in railway construction
just as it does in highway
construction"
This being the case, I fear
there is no hope Of saving
the Nations Capital from

Standards for Doctors

There have been express
sions Of regret from many
SOURCES over the failure OF
$500 foreign doctors to pass
their qualifying exams. They
wish to devise means Of
keeping these interns eligi-
BILE for practice. Would these

tors, foreign or American,
who have won the right to

'Biqoted' Election

tion indicating the decline Of

Now-will some panty

was bigotry in 1928 for many
non-Catholics to vote against

bigotry for millions Of Ro-

Reports from Venezuela,
Colombia, and other coun-
tries, show that much Of the

verge of starvation, while the
government indulges in ex-
treme luxury. This Is our
own fault, if we appropriate
funds without adequate con-
troll as to their use.
There is a simple remedy.
Relief work could be under
taken with American capital

HUI 2 bAAnll SUusVVU tOJCo. kaku1IS
q reversal from 1856 when the
Republican presidential can
didate, Dwight D. Eisenhower,
carried New York by q mill
lion-and-a-half votes. Mr..
Sharkey's remarks. indeed,
were caustic. He said, in
effect, that instead Of trying
to get rid of the regularly
elected State chairman, Presi-
dent-elect Kennedy should
turn his attention to appoint
ing q New York Democrat
to his Cabinet. Since Mr..
Prendergast has given every
indication he intends to fight
for retention Of his job. and
has called q meeting Of the
50 Democratic county chair
men for Thursday. apparently
to form his battle lines, the
fat may already be in the IRE.
Power Clipping Move g.
The removal of Mr.. PREM
dergast, who has made it
entirely clear he is supporting
Mr.. DeSapio in his fight with
the Roosevelt-Lehman reform
faction in New York City,
was to be a first step toward
clipping Mr.. DeSapio's power
and prestige as Tammany
leader, and eventually getting
rid Of him, too. The antago-
nism to Mr.. DeSapio on the
part of the Old Roosevelt
New Dealers goes back to
1854, when young Franklin
D. Roosevelt was denied the
Democratic nomination for
Governor, which went to
Averell Hartman. and to Mr..
Roosevelt's defeat in the same
election for attorney general.
1t was intensified when in
1868, Mr.. DeSapio and Mr..
Prendergast united to force
the nomination of District
Attorney Frank Hogan for
Senator over the New Dealers
choice. Thomas K. Finletter.
They raised the cry Of
"bossism"-a cry which the
Republicans did not let them
forget in the subsequent elec-
tion campaign. Republican
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
was elected over MIR. Harri-
man, seeking q second term,
by half-a-million votes. Since
that day the reform" faction
has been after Mr.. DeSapio's
political scalp.
The Kennedys, it has been
suggested, will seek to buy
of Mr.. PrendergaSt by offer
ing him a Federal job. But
Mr.. Prendergast, having
pledged himself to Mr.. De-
Sapio, may resist such bait.
Much will depend on the
feeling shown at the coming
meeting of the county chair
men. The Prendergast people,
who came out for Senator
Kennedy's nomination for
President after the West
Virginia primary had been
carried by the Massachusetts,
Senator. contend Senator
Kennedy owes his nomination
on the first ballot at the Los
Angeles convention to New
York Democrats, and also
owes his election on Novert1-
ber 8 to them. CO. 3 ~
Altogether. the New York
Democratic situation seems .

cially as Gov. Rockefeller.

his intention to seek re-elec-

Playing With Fire

President elect Kennedy.
as head Of his party, quite
naturally would like to see
the Democratic Party in the
Empire State strengthened,
both for the 1862 guberna-
torial and congressional elec-
tions. and the 1864 presi-
Dental election in which he
himself is the virtually GER
tain Democratic nominee. The
warning party factions. how
ever, are bitter in the extreme.
And If Senator Kennedy seeks
to run New York politics from
the White House he might
find himself in q precarious
position. No less a person
that the late Presid en- t
Franklin D. RooSevelt-who
had been Governor of New
York before he entered the
White House-in 1912 locked
horns with Democratic State
Chairman James A. Farley
over the nomination Of a
candidate for Governor. In
one Of the most dramatic
political l conventions ever
held, Mr.. Farley trimmed the
President and put his own
man over for the nomination.
The resulting election was
easily carried. however, by
the Republican candidate,
Thomas E. Dewey. who held
that Office for IL years.
So the Kennedys may be
playing with fire when they
seek to dominate New York
State politics. After all. as
supporters Of State Chairman
Prendergast argue - among
them Joseph T. Sharkey, the
Democratic leader Of Brook

Kennedy Moves In as Party Leader

the Democratic Party. This

he must perform as Chief
Executive and Commander

Gone is the party's titular
leadership, for eight years

is Senator Kennedy. Former
President Harry S. Truman,
who did not want Senator
Kennedy for President,
though he much preferred
him to Mr.. Nixon, passes out
of the picture much as does
Mr.. Stevenson. The FDR
Roosevelts. including Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt, no longer
are looked to for party leader

Indeed, the old New Deal
faction Of the Democratic
Party in New York, headed
now by Mrs. Roosevelt and
former Senator Herbert Leh-
man, is looking to President
elect Kennedy to use his
influence to oust two leaders
