culed by some Of our own
politicians as a useless ges-
ture of liberation" because
it isn't intended that force
will be applied. These critics
insist that, unless America
is prepared to back up its
words with military aid,
nothing should be said.
But those who argue that
way are not yet convinced of
what can be done in the
world by moral force as con-
trasted with military force.
The latter is necessary, just
as police protection against
mobs in South Africa will be
defended as justified. But
this does not mean that at
tempts should not be made
by moral force and concili-
atory methods to adjust in
ternal disputes and find an
orderly way to deal, through
discussion and calm counsels,
with controversies that other
wise could lead to violence
and bloodshed.
The advantages, therefore,
Of speaking out must have
appealed to the Department
of State as outweighing the
disadvantages. The American
people. however, now must be
prepared to read comments
by other governments about
our own troubles and short
comings, whether they be
about incidents in Harlem
or at the lunch counters of
chain stores in the South, or
about the Chessman case in
California. International de-
bate that is prompted by a
sincere desire to ease rather
than provoke friction is con-
structive, but sometimes it
has to be balanced against

Texas Ancestry Secret of His Height,
Spanish Foreign Minister Says
CONSTANTINE BROWN

MADRID CBy Air MaiD
The lanky Spanish Foreign
Minister, Fernando Castiella,
now a guest of honor in the
United States, explains his
height, which is unusual for
a Spaniard. by the fact that
he is part Texan.
His grandfather, Angel
Maiz, had a hard time making
ends meet in the Basque
Mountains and emigrated to
the United States. He mar
ried a Texas girl, became
naturalized in New Orleans in
1868, made a small fortune
and eventually returned to his
native Bilbao.

countries. Spain has not been
invited to become a member
Of the NATO, but she plays
a highly important role in
that coalition. AS a matter of
fact the Spanish head Of
state does not appear par
ticularly anxious to join.
Franco regards the Spanish
American understanding
which gives vital air and
naval bases as tantamount to
an alliance with us and with
the Western bloc which is
determined to resist the
Soviet onslaughts.
Similarly the relations be-
tween Madrid and Paris
which have been cool in the
past have improved so much
since Gen. de Gaulle be-
came President of France
that the ofiicial participation
Of Spain in the NATO has
now become a matter of
pride rather than military

consulted through diplomatic
channels about the more
significant decisions to be
taken by the NATO military

that the downfall Of Ma
poleon started from the
Iberian Peninsula whence the
British, supported by Span
ish guerrillas, began to punc-

Generalissimo Franco con-
tinues to be the supreme au-
thority in Spain and as such
keeps his finger in every pie.
He is remarkably well in
formed, not only on matters
about Spain but also the out
side world, which he appears
to understand better than
most Of his countrymen.
In a conversation with this
reporter, Gen. Franco ap-
peared convinced that as long
as the West continues to keep
up its armor land he places
the accent on conventional
forces) the Soviet Union will
not unleash another world
war. But this does not mean
that the Kremlin has in any
way changed its aggressive
ideas and intentions.
Gen. Franco believes the
Soviet government is pre-

on three fronts-economic,
political and military. Of
these, the military is by far
the less likely to be used. But
the political campaign is Just
starting and is extending to

Blame for the Civil Rights Issue

under the Constitution of the
United States the Negro is
as fully entitled to all the
rights accorded a citizen as
any other person.
Republican administrations
of the 1870s-l880s allowed
this image to become so fixed
that immigrants from all over
the world, though they were
of various shades of color.
unhesitatingly were accepted
as citizens and accorded all
rights to vote and use public
facilities equally, while the
American Negro was not.
It was not until Franklin
D Roosevelt came to the
White House that actions
were begun in this field. The
approach was begun in the
courts. And there it has
largely remained.
Since all peoples every
where do much of their think
ing in terms of images. this
bit of the past helps explain
the present. The average
Southerner of today, and his
father before him. simply
never entertained the image
of the Negro as a citizen. His
father knew old men who told
the tale of the Hayes fix"
and the deal whereby the
Negro was removed from
citizenship. So it is today that
so many Southerners ac-
tually are outraged to dis
cover the Negro is. under the
law, lust as much a citizen
as they.
The great need of our time
is to see that no citizenship
rights can be lessened and
that use of public, tax-main-
tained facilities is not COM
munistic. 1t is no longer
possible, whatever individual
preferences, to declare such
institutions barred to some
and open to others.

wants Gov. Rockefeller at all.
These doubters would not
expect him to fight any wave
of Rockefeller-for Vice -Presi-
dent sentiment which had
the color of a real draft. They
are clear in their own minds,
however, that Mr.. Nixon in
tends to be one Of those Pres
idents in whose shade no

Gov. Rockefeller would
inevitably attract great at
tention and would be, as Vice
President, no matter how
correctly he tried to behave,
a lodestone for Nixon doubt
ers.

Mr.. Nixon is thinking about

deal. They were. And since
they were. the issue has been
remindful of the legend of
the sown dragons teeth. But
meanwhile, the South could,
as it did, find reason to be-
lieve that the Nation, despite
the Constitution, officially
and permanently had rele-
gated the Negro to a position
where he was a citizen in
theory, but not in fact.
There is explanation, If
not justification, for some of
the bewilderment and anger
over what seems to many
Southerners a reversal and a
revival of an issue settled
long ago by the Republican
administrations which for so
long dominated the govern
ment and appointed carefully
screened men to the courts.
1t was, of course, inevitable,
as civilization progressed and
two world wars dramatized
freedom and human rights,
that the cynical sellout of
1877 would be disinterred.
There is no way for the Re-

accountability for this dilem-
ma, and if the Deep South
Democrats claim they were
assured in 1877 and the years

settled. they are right. They

sometimes tradition goes
by the boards and, as the
saying goes, Fools rush in
where angels fear to tread"
Maybe this time the. saying
will be reversed and the tao
ticians of diplomatic policy
will be proved not fools"
but angels"
For the Department of
State, in expressing shock
and dismay at the way the
police fired on a mob in
South Africa, certainly re-
versed tradition. 1t remains
to be seen whether this
unprecedented step-making
an official comment on the
action of another government
in a strictly internal police
problem-will add up to more
advantages than disadvan-
tageS.
1t must be noted at the
outset, however, that the
State Department has lately
expressed itself on another
issue that has always been
looked upon as internal, but
this didn't attract much at
tention. Thus Secretary of
State Herter sent word to the
Korean government the other
day that the department here
was sorry to read about the
disorders attending the elec-
ton in Korea. The unfor-
tunate implication was that
the government in Seoul was
som ehow responsible for
these, when the truth is that
the few cases Of disorder were
the natural outgrowth of
deep-seated emotions about
the election here and there
among the populace. 1t is
doubtful whether many re-
publics have always been free
from such disorders in the
past.
AS for the public comment
by the State Department on
the South African episode,
this may appear to be inju-
dicious in the sense that an
internal matter under inquiry
by q friendly government
is discussed. incidentally, it
puts on the spot the British
government, which has re-
mained silent officially. News

1t is the Republican Party

zenly rewarded those who had

and Florida. The South was
turned over to those eager to
exploit its resources and to
profit from the bonds which
could prof1tably be fioated
on rail and water lines.
There were threats of more
civil war and instances of
violence. but the administra-
ton was on the side of the
vested interests. Hayes, for
example, used Federal troops
to break a strike of railway
employees and took pride in
the fact he had restored
order"

and some angrily, noted and
charged that the rights OF
the newly made Negro citi-
