We have a fretful little
thought about that live audi
ence." Do you suppose that
some Of those Hollywood know
how" whizzes have been doing
their shows before filmed
audiences all this while?
When Ralph Edwards goes
out into that This is Your Life
crowd. are they for really real?
I've been looking at them
closely lately and some Of them
look awfully familiar. Wouldn't
it be terrible to be a face"
trapped on Aim or tape at one
show and doomed to 60 on for
ever cheering, laughing waving
and applauding on a thousand
programs? Give our faces back
to us, I say.
On the other hand, if the
reaction to two top pros like
Benny and Blue had to be
technically augmented, was
that, in truth, a live audience?
An audiences credentials for
being an audience, 1t seems to
me, should be looked into thor
oughly.
Someday soon, I suspect
these announcements will be
fooled of with the credits
which, as you may also have
noticed, are getting longer and
duller these longer, duller
nights. Why these are being
augmented III never know and
I'm afraid TO ask.

PIuy-of-Week
Sought Here

Negotiations are under way
that could bring wNTA-Tv's
New York Play Of the Week to
a Washington station, it was
disclosed yesterday.
WTOP-9 Zone Of two Wash
ington stations equipped with
the required video tape ma
chimes to carry it,, in conjunc-
ton with five Westinghouse and
five Corinthian stations and the
Post-owned Jacksonville station,
have written asking for details
and the price.
The offer, Broadcasting mag
azine reports, is the strongest"
OF many WNTA has received.
Biggest stumbling block is the
price which. as TeleVue reported
Sunday. will exceed that for a
post-1948 movie. No matter
how much an individual station
may net each year, there is a
reluctance to pay more for q
show than it can conceivably
make from it.

these than Christianity" says
Billy Graham.
Islam is less demanding.
1t permits a plurality of
wives. 1t does not set up as
rigid a code of personal be-
havior. 1t does not teach
compassion, forgiveness of
enemies, and so on. This
makes Islam more compatible
with tribal customs. Chris
tianity cannot compromise,
for example, on polygamy.
The Soviets are relatively
new in Africa. They are at
work, as usual, with the new
governments. They are offer
ing educational opportunities
and technical assistance. And
they are saying that Islam
has mosques and freedom in
Russia. They are shrewd
enough to see in the Islamic
faith a lever they can use.
If the Soviets are new in
Africa, Islam has been there
a long time. Even in the an
cient Christian kingdom of
Ethiopia, where the Coptic
Christian Emperor and his
family greeted Billy Graham,
the Moslem faith is strong.
Moslems have been granted
separate rights, including
their own courts. Moslem
landowners are a powerful

give the Communists material
for their propaganda broad
casts?
Gov. Ernest F. Hollings of
South Carolina, in discussing
the sit-in demonstrations,
told a press conference this
week that the Negroes think
they can violate any law, es-
pecially if they have a Bible
in their hands" He spoke of
the manifestations as being
explosive by their very ma
ture" and said that, while
the protest movement was
originated by students, it now
has been taken over by out
side groups"
The States and cities in the
South have a constitutional
right, of course, to arrest and
punish any persons engaged
in a conspiracy to invade the
ten-cent store restaurants or
any other private business
establishments where agita-
tionS or demonstrations are
conducted. The same stores
have a right to bring damage
suits in the courts against
any individuals who start
such demonstrations for the
purpose of discrediting the
name and business reputa-
tion of the owners of the
stores. These are civil rights,
too.
The inStigators Of the cur
rent conImotion in the South
call the agitation passive
resistance" This was the
phrase often used in describ-
ing rebellious tactics in In
dia during the period of re-
volt against British rule. But
against whom are the pro-.
vocative demonstrations in
the ten-cent stores in the
South directed? The Federal
Government has no right to
order the stores to open their
lunch counters to anyone to
whom they choose to deny
such privileges. These are
private establishments, and,
unlike railway stations -
which are public utilities -
these stores can conform, II
they like. to local custom.
Do the leaders of the Ne
groes really believe they are
advancing the cause Of "law
and order" by these provoca-
tive demonstrations? There
certainly is need for "bi-
racial conferences" such as
President Eisenhower has
suggested - and some COM
mon sense. too.

Evangelist Billy Graham Says Islam
Is Making Greater Proqress There

For eight weeks Evangelist
Billy Graham toured East,
West and Central Africa by
plane. He appeared there as
millions of persons around
the world have seen him
Bible in hand. preaching in
simple words the simple es-
sentials of Christian faith.
He talked with, and to, tribes
men from the jungles, with
heads of many faiths active
in Africa. His life was
threatened. He was cheered
and Endorsed. He was chal-
lenged to a healing duel by
Moslem mullah. He was
picketed by witch doctors.
Evangelist Graham has
added up his experiences and
reached a conclusion-Islam
is making the most progress
in Africa, outdoing Christi
anity. And Islam can more
easily adjust to Communist
propaganda.
Il have met a number of
people who think America
eventually may be over
whelmed by Islam" the
young evangelist said.
The challenge to Chris
tianity is as immediate, he
says, as it is great. There are
some 40 million Africans still
worshiping old tribal gods.
They are uncommitted to any
established faith in religion
or any political theology of
our time.

Blue Nile is in Ethiopia. It
soon joins with the White
Nile in the Sudan. And the
Sudan is Moslem. In years
gone by Ethiopia has had its
independence threatened by
ISlamic forces from the out
side. If this comes again,
there is no one who believes
the Ethiopian Moslems would
be loyal. Ethiopia is a vast
region, as large as France

given their lives to Africa.
They have founded churches,
hospitals, clinics and schools.
They have created a great
reservoir of good will and a
large following of converts
who include many dedicated,
practicing Christians.
DR.. Graham found that
many Africans believe Chris
tianity is European. They
think that Christ was Euro
pean and that Mohammed
was an African.
Billy Graham, obviously
concerned, will bring this
message home to America.

main. if not the only, pre-
occupation of the Austrian
foreign service is the matter
Of Southern Tyrol and its
conflict with Rome over the
fate Of the 100000 Tyroleans
handed over to Italy at the
end of World War I. This
reporter has dealt with this
in earlier columns. The only
thing that can be added
from here on this potentially
explosive situation, which
the Soviet Union and the
Afro-Asian bloc would bring
before the United Nations if
an outburst occurred, is the
fact that nobody in the Aus
trian government wants a
revision of the treaty OF St.
Germain to return the region
to Austria.
Vienna is pressing Rome
for one thing only: to give
the Tyroleans, within the
framework of the Italian
republic, the right of self
government insofar as the
administration Of the Ger
man-speaking province is
concerned. For unless this is
granted in good faith by the
Italian government, bloody
Clashes may become inevi-
table and international COM
munism will be the sole
beneficiary.
Despite the advice given
by Vienna to the nationalist
leaders in. Tyrol not to pre-
cipitate a crisis, clashes may
be unavoidable in the long
run. Austria's Foreign Sec
retary Kretisky emphasized
this fact by pointing out
that the Tyroleans wonder
why they should be deprived
of some of their national
rights when they ask only
self-government and at the

Choirmon's Siding With Kennedy
Is Described as No Surprise

1t has been no secret here
for months that Democratic
National Chairman Paul
Butler and Senator John

were practicing, a cozy
solidarity. National party
chairmen are human, too,
and almost all of them de-

the other candidates for their
party's presidential nomina-
ton. But Mr.. Butler, in a re-
sounding whisper heard from
coast to coast, has now an
nounced that Senator Ken

Butler Gets Into the Campaign

Senator Humphrey was pro-
claiming that he had been
robbed. The other candidates
said nothing in public, but
doubtless they shared his
views. There was hurried talk
that at last Mr.. Butler had
gone too far once too often.
Yet the truth is that at this
time so near the convention
nobody wants Mr.. Buffers
job. no matter how much
they may grumble about him.
In stating his views, he
may have been confident Of
his position. Whether he had
counted all the costs Of a loss
Of public neutrality is an
other matter. An early victim
is likely to be Representative
Hale Boggs Of Louisiana, who
has been hoping to be
selected as permanent chair
man Of the national conven-
ton. But a Catholic conven-
ton chairman. added to a
Catholic national chairman,
allied with a leading Catho-
lie contender for the presi-
Dental nomination may we'll
prove to be too much of a
good thing.
And every candidate for
the nomination and his
cohorts will now be weighing
Mr.. Buffers every action in
selecting officials and max
ing plans for the convention.
He is an old hand at taunting
the South for its wayward-
ness. On occasion he has
locked horns with such old
time professionals as Gov.
Lawrence of Pennsylvania
and Col. Jake Arvey, national
committeeman from Illinois.
1t will be new experience for
him to have party liberals
breathing hard down his
neck.
