At II O'Clock tonight the first

trio Co. employees will board a
luxury liner at Fort Lauder

the Caribbean.
Shepherding the group will

For the next IL months, Mr..
Smiths two companies, Carib-

lined up 81 sailings. - Some
business groups have reserved
cruises for two years ahead.

ran a few for another agency

It is fortunate that he does,
too. His authenticity and his
solid performance do give some
life to an otherwise routine
wartime yarn.
Director Daniel Mann has

enthrall you. He also has en-
ployed the American West and

skill to provide an authentic

Especially for those of us who live

gratulate the people of Brazil on their
newly dedicated seat of federal govern

World capitals traditionally are mir
rorS OF the past. They present both an
outward facade and an inward charac-
ter which are symbolic of all that is
deemed graceful and worth preserving

however, literally carved from an inland
wilderness in breathleSs four years by
the drive of President Juscelino Ku-
bitSchek, is cast in different mold. It's

chitect calls the first complete, concrete
image of the goth century that layman
can understand simply by looking at it."

can fail to envy Brazilians the dramatic
opportunity which they have seized to
avoid the mistakes of the past by wiping

Time and Aportheid

The failure of the work boycott in
the Union of South Africa strongly
suggests that the mass of the country's
Negro population is far from being ready
or willing to follow those leaders who
advocate drastic forms of protest against
apartheid, the policy of racial separation.
AS proposed by the recently outlawed
African National Congress, the boycott
would have been spectacular week.
long demonstration in which all Negroes
would have stayed away from the jobs
they hold in stores, Offices, factories,
mines and farming operations. In effect,
though limited in duration, this would
nave been sort of general strike de-
signed to dramatic the power of the
Negro majority, reduce the national
economy to temporary paralysis and
thus persuade the white minority and
Prime Minister Verwoerds government
to abandon, or at least greatly modify,
the system of apartheid.
1t seems clear today, however, that
Mr.. VerWoerd, who is staging a good
recovery from the recent attempt on his
life, has ample reason to feel, along
with his regime, that the militant Negro
leaders still have only skeptical and
uneasy following whose members are in
no mood to rush into extreme action.
Further, in connection with the call for
a work boycott, most of South Africa's
Negroes apparently have taken to heart
the governments warning that their
participation in such a demonstration
would invite numerous severe penalties,
including loss of their jobs and banish-
ment to tribal reservations.
In these circumstances, it is not
surprising that the work boycott has
died aborning. Nevertheless, despite the
governments continuing power to hold
violence in check and maintain law and
order, the fact still remains that the
white minority is overwhelmingly out
numbered and that apartheid will be-
come less and less workable as the Negro
majority becomes more and more edu-
Gated and increasingly insistent on
getting new deal in racial laws. This
seems as inevitable as the coming of
tomorrow.

Religious Issue

Senator KennedyS religion ought
not to be an issue in this campaign
But it is an issue; there is no question
about that. The question is how best
to deal with it.
One approach, which the MaSsa-
chuSettS Senator seems to have adopted,
is to grasp the nettle-to raise the re-
ligiouS issue himself and to attempt to
beat it down with rhetoric. It may be
that circumstances in West Virginia
made one such effort necessary from
Senator Kennedy'S point of view. He
would be the best judge of that. Moth
ing is to be gained, however, by purSu-
ing this line of attack The more SEN
ator Kennedy talks about his religion,
especially If he talks in defensive tone,
the more of an issue it will become. And
this could hardly promote either the
Senator's presidential prospects or the
purpose to keep religion out of politics.
In his address to the American
Society of Newspaper Editors, the Mas
sachuSettS Senator gave an excellent
statement of what should be the real
AoouC' nc puC IL IIllS way. 1nere is
only one legitimate question underlying
all the rest: would you, as President of
the United States, be responsive in any
way to ecclesiastical preSsureS or obli-
cations Of any kind that might in any
fashion influence or interfere with your
conduct of that office in the national in
tereSt? I have answered that question
many times. My answer was-and is
NO"
We think this is truthful answer.
We believe that most Americans will
accept it as such. Those few who will
continue to disbelieve are not going to
be persuaded by anything more which
Senator Kennedy might say.
So, in exchange for the advice
which Senator Kennedy has given the
editors, we offer the following: The
Massachusetts, Senator should stop talk
ing about his religion. AS he says, he
has answered the Legitimate question"
many times. Why answer it any more?
Why not give the religious issue" the
silent treatment? Perhaps, then, it will
tend to fade away.

Aid for Elderly

Many persons in this COM
munity, already retired after
a number of years of service
in the Government because of
disability. face never-ending
anxiety because of the cost
of their continuing medical
care. The Department of
Social Relations of the
Diocese of w ashington
keenly aware of this situa-
ton, is deeply concerned
about it. We urgently hope
that Congress will con-
tinue to press for the early
enactment of legislation to
provide some medical protec-
ton for this group similar to
that recently enacted for
Government workers. A bill
introduced by the late Sena-
tor Neuberger, we understand,
intended to do just this. 1t
would be a fitting tribute to
Senator Neuberger if this bill
can be reported out and
pushed for enactment during
the present session of Con-
gresS.
