Tor evidence Of anti-Negro

The temporary restraining
order, issued at the request of
Alabama Attorney General
Macdonald Gallon and apply
ing to all 60 counties, set the
stage for a court test Of the
1860 Civil Rights act.
Mr.. Gallon, challenging the
conStitutionality OF the Civil

voting records were sought,
maintained that the Justice
Department has tried to in
wade Alabama's sovereignty.
Order Effective July !
Under terms of the tempo
rary order Federal authorities
can appear before Judge Jones
July Z and argue against a
permanent injunction. FBI
agents are barred from seeing
the records until then.
There was no immediate
comment from the Justice De-
partment.
Attorney General William P.
Rogers has asked for access to
voter registration files in Mont
gomery, Wilcox and Sumter
Counties.
Yesterday Mr.. Rogers asked
that registration records in
Clarendon and Hampton Coun-
ties, S. c., and Fayette County,
Ga, also be opened for FBI
inspection.
In all of those counties. Mr..
Rogers said. only a fraction
Of eligible Negro voters were
registered.
Registrar TOO Busy"
In Fayetteville, Ga, the chair
man Of the Fayette County
Board Of Registrars said yes
terday he was too busy to hand
over the records Immediately to
two FBI agents who asked for
them.
However, the chairman, J. C.
Compton, said he will open the
books within IS days, as re-
quired by the Federal order.
FBI agents got a brief look
at the Sumter County records
yesterday before the Statewide
decree shut them again. Solici-
tor Thomas H. Boggs said two
FB1 men left quietly after he
informed them of the State
action. They had been ex-
amining the books for several
hours.

Eisenhower, the international Co-opera-
ton Administration is ordered to dis
continue approving purchases with
American funds) by aid-receiving coun-
tries from 10 other foreign sources.
Instead, aid recipients will be compelled
to make their purchases in the United
States or, in some cases, from other
under-developed countries. The 10
sources banned as suppliers are 18
economically prosperous nations and the
British Crown Colony Of Hong Kong
all Of which have healthy dollar bal
ances and, potentially at least, are in
position to demand American gold in
exchange.
In practice, many countries re-
ceiving aid have chosen because of better
price terms to buy manufactured prod
ucts outside of the United States.
Although about $40O million of yearly
aid funds are involved, our Government
estimates that the new restriction will
have the net effect Of keeping about
half Of this total at home. At the same
time, "buying American" may cost as
much as 500 million additional for the
same volume Of goods-a margin which
may have to be made up by increased
foreign aid appropriations.
Although this and other steps may
not be uniformly popular abroad, the
nature Of the problem and our Govern
ment's conviction that something must
be done about it are adequately under
stood. Compliance should not be
grudging.

Traffic Jam in Space?

As though to emphasize the pros
pect, the Air Force sent another
Discoverer satellite into orbit while
members of the American Rocket So
ciety were discussing the possibility of a
future "traf1c jam" problem in space.
Satellite launchings are becoming al
most routine-in this country, at
least. Counting Discoverer XVIII, Just
launched, there now are 16 American
and two Soviet satellites orbiting the
earth and two American and one Soviet
satellites circling the sun. Thirteen
other American and five Russian satel-
lites have ceased to orbit. Although all
Of these satellites have whirled around
the earth in many directions, there have
been no collisions as yet.
However, the American Rocket So
ciety heard serious discussion of spa
tial traffic hazards by Paul G.. Dembling,
assistant general counsel Of the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration.
With estimates of $4,000 spacecraft to be
launched by 1875, Mr.. Dembling sug-
gested trafflc-control system, par
ticipated in by all nations interested in
ternational agreement under which
launchings would be scheduled so as to
avoid conflict, satellite flight plans
would be announced in advance, space
vehicles would be marked for ready
identification and a central bureau
perhaps under the United Nations
would keep records on orbits and
nerformance of satellites
There is lot of space out there, of
course, and the possibility of a collision
may be infinitesimal in the foreseeable
future. But it would seem to be good
sense to set up some world clearing
house of information on space flights
in process or planned, with orbit infor-
nation of value to rocketeers and astro-
nauts generally. And there actually
may come time when Spatial traffic
control will be something more than a
fantasy.

UdoH to Interior

Representative Stewart L. Udall,
throughout the national guessing game
now in progress, has been viewed gen.
orally as young man almost certain to
make the grade.
The formality of his selection as the
new Secretary Of Interior, therefore,
comes as no surprise, and the reasons
he was tapped seem clear. Politically,
MIR. Udall is closely attuned to the re-
frainS Of the New Frontier. His sue
cessful preconvention efforts to put the
Arizona delegation in the Kennedy camp
earned for him the early regard Of the
President-elect. The fact that he is a
Westerner should please that part Of the
country most affected by the multifari-
GUS activities Of the Interior Department
During his brief (three-term) serv-
ice in the House, Mr.. Udall made quite a
name for himself as a hard-driving,
front-rank leader of the young liberal
bloc. AS member of the Education and
Labor Committee, where he chiefly came
to public attention, he locked horns
constantly with conservative leaders
over Federal aid to education, and sup
ported an increased Federal role in
public affairs generally. He drew con-
siderable notice as one Of the Fearless
Five" the hard-core liberal group
which fought last year for labor bill
less stringent than Landrum- Grimm, but
less soft" than the measure favored by
organized labor. His voting record as a
whole was given top ratings by national
labor, and by the liberal political and
farm groups. On the other hand, he was
not entirely unacceptable to the more
conservative Farm Bureau Federation,
and he consistently supported Eisen-
hover foreign affairs legislation. To
House Republicans, Mr.. Udall was an in
tense, uncompromising partisan, who
nevertheless won respect for his intelli-
gence and integrity.
There is little in all this to help
evaluate Mr.. Udall as Secretary Of
Interior. His past expressions Of interest
in conservation, Indian affairs and
water-desalinization, however, at least
are solid blocks on which to build. While
his major concern will be with national
programs, we hope Mr.. Udall will not
overlook the role which his department
and especially the National Park
Service-plays in the development Of
Washington. The present Secretary,
Fred A. Seaton, followed these matters
closely, and stepped in on several oc-
caSions to help resolve controversies.
We hope the new Secretary will do
the same.

Dating q Picture

The date Of the interesting
old photograph of Pennsyl-
vania Avenue. which ap-
peared December 1 in The
Sunday Star Magazine, is
earlier than 1865. as stated.
Proof of this is furnished by
the unfinished appearance Of

Capitol dome was completed
in the fall Of 1853 when the
Statue Of Freedom was

This must be in error: the

year before the end Of the

In my great grandfather's

teers) he says:
ION Wednesday. December

Court Official Studies Case of Alcoholic!

In the year 1904, DR.. Trot-
ter said that alcoholism was q
disease. He was scoffed at.
Doctors now say that alco-
holism is q disease. I don't
know whether they all really
mean 1t or not. It is not q
moral problem, 1t is q physi-
cal illness. q mental illness
and q spiritual illness. The
craving for q drink Is q part
Of the disease-it is some
thing that cannot be over
come by exerting willpower.
There are today in the
United States about 8 million
alcoholics. They are alcohol
les because they consumed
too much liquor too long.
And finally they reached the
line of demarcation when
they could no longer handle
their liquor but their liquor
handled them. And the cause
of that is simply this-the
components of their physical
bodies changed as q result Of
their excessive use of alco-
hol. They became mentally
obsessed with the craving for
alcohol; their physical bodies
craved alcohol: for many
reasons about which I could
spend q long time talking.
The gravity of alcoholism
in these United States is tre-
mendous. The United States
ranks second to France only
in the number of alcoholics
per 100000 approximately
485. Forty per cent of all au-
tomobile accidents are au-
thentically reported to be
caused py he excessive use OF
alcohol. Thirty-seven per cent
Of all violent deaths are re-
ported to be caused by alco-
hol. Thirty-two per cent of
all suicides are attributed to
excessive use Of alcohol. This
is. Of course, a frightening
picture and the number still
grows. Why? Because every
single person who drinks al
cohol to any extent Is q po-
tential alcoholic. That, too,
may be frightening. but it
need not be. Many people
drink alcohol in moderation
for their entire adult lives
and never become alcoholics.
Experience is an unanswer-
able argument against doubt.

Mr.. Stevenson Hesitotes

AS result OF Aola1 SCeVenS0nS
unwillingnesS to answer yes or no
when offered the ambassadorship to the
United Nations, first small cloud has
formed on the horizon Of Senator Ken
nedy'S New Frontier. It may be no
bigger than mans hand and, If Mr..
Stevenson finally accepts, it will drift
away. Still, 1t could be troublesome
thing, and If the President-elect is an
noyed, as the news reports suggest,
/, that is readily understandable.
Mr.. Stevenson was evasive when
asked why he was unwilling to give his
answer now. He spoke vaguely Of want
ing to flnd out whether certain people
would be willing to serve with him as a
means Of strengthening this country's
U. N. delegation. And, perhaps more to
the point, when queried as to whether
his reluctance resulted from the fact
that Secretary Of State has not been
named, he replied: "It would be fair
to speculate that some unknown factors
require further exploration"
From this, the inference is that Mr..
Stevenson, II he does not already know,
wants to find out who will be Secretary
Of State and whether he might find
himself in disagreement on policy with
him. Perhaps this is not unreasonable
from Mr.. Stevenson's point of view.
But, there are obvious reasons why 1t
could be embarrassing to Mr.. Kennedy.
For one thing, it implies certain lack
Of confidence in the soundnesS of the
President-elect's judgment as to Sec
retary Of State. And If Mr.. Stevenson
should finally reject the offer, it would
be taken as meaning that he does not
approve Of, or is in policy disagreement
with, the new chief of the State Depart
ment. All Of this, considering MIR. Ste
venson'S following both in this country
and around the world. could be an en-
barrassment to the new administration.
The surprising thing is that the uncer-
taintieS were not resolved before the
offer was announced.
We hope, however, that Mr.. Steven
son, who says he wants to be helpful"
will finally accept the appointment. Mr..
Kennedy took pains to stress the i'm
portance Of the assignment and to
praise Mr.. Stevenson's qualifications.
There is no doubt that he would be a
first-rate representative Of his country
in vital and increasingly diff1cult post.
Only the most compelling reasons could
Justify refusal to serve.

He Betrayed a Trust

In a city like New York, where
nearly everything is big-including, at
times, betrayals of official trust-the
conflict of interest" charges on which
Manhattan Borough President Hulan
Jack was convicted may seem relatively
minor. However, the principle is the
same, whatever the degree Of the Of
fense. The principle, that Of maintain
ing the integrity Of public office in the
face Of improper presSures or beguile-
ments Of all kinds, has been strongly
upheld by a. Jury which found Mr.. Jack
guilty Of official wrongdoing.
This was Mr.. Jacks second trial on
charges involving his acceptance of
$4,000 favor by lawyer who was seeking
business from board Of which the
borough head was member. The favor
was the payment of bill for redecorat-
ing the Jack apartment in Harlem
While the jury, in acquitting Mr.. Jack of
charge Of receiving the $4,400 as a
"gratuity," apparently accepted the de-
tense claim that the money was a loan,
1t found him guilty not only Of violating
a city ban on conflict-of interest deal
ings but Of conspiring to obstruct JUS
tice by lying to the district attorney
about the remodeling Job. Under the
law, Mr.. Jack automatically loses his
borough post.
In view Of the political and other
pressures exerted to prevent prosecution
OF Mr.. Jack, who held the highest mu-
nicipal office ever accorded Negro, the
district attorneys office and the jurors
merit commentator for refusing to be
swerved from their duty as defenders Of
the law and Of good government.

Living evidence is the strong

Those in A. A. have had the

the personal disappointments
as q result of alcohol. the
heartaches and all Of the

The Alcoholics Anonymous
program is looked upon by
some Of our scientific experts
as being an over-simplifled
program. and 1t is sometimes
called a pet" project of in.

make a name for themselves.
That is. in fact. an erroneous
conception Of A. A. To the
scientific approach, there is
no opposition. However, as a
result Of proven history. that
approach has not produced
the results. Alcoholics Anon
ymous has produced more
living evidence that the A. A.
program is the answer than
all the combined efforts Of
other well-meaning people.
The A. A. program is de-
signed to enable men to
become whole - physically,
mentally, and spiritually. It
is a very simple program;
it has to be that way be-
cause we are dealing with
very complicated people.
Therefore, the alcoholic can
not accept or understand q
complicated program. The
program is not easy, but
simple. Just as Our Master
said to the people who were
lost in the wilderness, Follow
Me-" He did not see At to
tell them to go this way or
that way. He simply said,
Follow Me-"
Now, in the A. A. plan to
rehabilitate people, there is
no element of "go" in 1t.
simply, Come. follow people
who have found the answer
and learned to live. and they
will share it with you. and
show you how it can be done"
They do not claim to be smart

the constant attacks upon
American principles by lib

news stories. The Star is to
be commended.
Senator Harry F. Byrd, of
Virginia. enjoys a position of
respect, even I might say,
from his enemies-the foes
Of individual rights and
liberties who veil themselves
behind a label of so-called
liberalism"
Virginia's Senator, as he
says, is a Jeffersonian Demo-
crat. He believes In the rights
Of man. that they should be
protected by strong local and
State governments; and that
the Federal Government
should intervene only in STU
ations that the State and
local governments cannot
handle. Senator Byrd be-
lieves that That government
which governs least, governs
best"
The paternalistic approach
to government, advocated
by such people as Senator
Clark, of Pennsylvania, is a
far cry from the principles
of Senator Byrd, the people
Of Virginia, and of Jefferson
himself. 1t is high time that
Democrats and the American
. people realize that the Demo-
crat Party Of today, as it is
represented by the so-called
Liberals has completely
reversed itself. The modern
liberals like the Senator
Clarks and those who sup
port his views, are actually
leading us down the road to
socialism. They constantly
advocate more Government
controls, and more Govern
ment intervention.
Senator Byrd was right in
standing up for his principles
in not supporting the Demo-
crat platform. The Senator
has been a public servant
some so years-town council
man, State legislator, Cover
nor, and United States Sena-
tor. He is dedicated to his
principles. These are the
principles of a majority of
the people of Virginia. This
is indicated by his being re-
turned to the United States
Senate for six terms-thirty-
six years.
Senator Clark stated in a
recent attack on Senator
Byrd that he should be
denied his craftsmanship Of
the powerful Senate Finance
Committee because the Vir-
ginia Senator did not come
out for the Kennedy-Johnson
ticket and their platform. In
