htheForEost:
Another Tour

After a 13-day stay in IndO-
neSia, Soviet Premier Khru-
Shchev few to Calcutta, then
to Kabul, Afghan capital, on his
way back to Moscow where he
arrived yesterday.
1ndonesian officials, somewhat
bewildered and certainly intrigued
by their energetic and unpredict-
able guest Mr.. Khrushchev, looked
back after his departure Tuesday
for an evaluation of his attitudes
and intentions.
The consensus was like this:
l. Mr.. Khrushchev is sincere in
his campaign for peace, although
not prepared to sacrifice basic
Soviet policy in concessions to the
West.
2. He believes Communist China
was induStrializing at too great
a cost, in human terms.
3. He appeared to fear that Red
China'S policies toward India,
Burma and Indonesia were jeop-
ardizing the prestige and appeal
of communism in the eyes Of
Southeast Asia.
In series of talks, both formal
and informal, the Soviet Premier
voiced his views on world affairs
and praised the virtues of COM
munism as way of life. But he
refrained, said the Indnoesians,
from pressing the latter point too
strongly and was able to exercise
his sharp wit in a good-humored
fashion in friendly exchanges with
President Sukarno.
There was more than a little
irritation among the Indonesian
hosts when Mr.. Khrushchev was
openly disdainful of Indonesian
dancing and exquisite handi-
crafts. He left one Balinese dance
session at the intermisSion, and
commented on viewing a display
of elaborate hand-loomed fabrics
that mankind needed machinery,
not costly hand skills.
Before his departure, he ap-
peared to take in stride the re-
fusal of his hosts to join in a dec
laration calling for the admission
of Communist China TO the United
Nations. He praised Indonesian
steps toward self -sufficiency and
political responsibility, taking a
few verbal whackS at Western
colonialiSm and imperialism" in
the doing.
On his way back to Moscow,
Mr.. Khrushchev stopped off in
Calcutta for another talk with
India's Prime Minister Nehru. The
two were joined later by Burmese
Premier-designate U Nu. Again
the cheerful, tanned Soviet chief
stressed disarmament as the chief
need of the world, and again he
warned that the Soviet Union was
the strongest military power in
the world.
Mr.. Nehru told a large crowd
at civic reception that Mr.. Khru-
shchev worked a lot for his coun-
try and the world during the last
few years. But the biggest thing
is that he is flying the flag of
peace. His words and his actions
are directed toward the cause Of
peace"

to, limit legislation this year to
the matter of voting rights.
Many Of these Senators prob
ably would not be willing to vote
for cloture unless the bill was so
limited. This could mean no shut
ting off of debate because the
Southerners need only a total of "a
votes to bar such a rule. They can
count on 18 in their own group
and thus would need only 16 adj
ditional votes.
Some of the moderates feel that
there is language in the Dirksen
bill which gives no meaningful
assist to Negro rights and, at the
same time, unnecessarily provokes
bitterness among white South
erners.
In his opening speech on the
floor Monday, Senator Russell of
Georgia, Southern commander in
chief, pointed to some of this Ian
guage. 1t is contained in Section
4 Of the Dirksen bill, the most
obnoxious and Objectionable" part,
in Mr.. Russell's opinion.
This section, which provides
Federal assistance to local COM
mpnities for pushing school inte-
grafton, states that the Supreme
Court ruled against segregated
schools in 1854 and that its inter-
probation of the Constitution is
the law of the land.
Evening star., 1960-03-06
Why the Question?

Now, everybody knows the place
OF the Supreme Court in the Ma
tion's scheme Of Government. It
may, therefore, be asked: Why is
1t necessary to pour salt in South
ern wounds by formally putting,
apparently for the first time, a
congressional stamp of approval
on a Supreme Court decision?
The Celler bill, which is ex-
pected to reach the House floor
on March 10, contains no such
section.
Two provisions in the Dirksen
bill stir little Southern opposi-
tion: One requiring the preserva-
tion of voting records in Federal
elections and the other, making
it a Federal crime for "hate"
bombings. The Southerners, how
ever, want this latter provision
broadened to cover all bombings
not just those having to do with
schools and churches.
The compromise being talked
about on civil rights does not,
however, involve the Southerners
directly. They may be expected to
fight against any rights bill which
contains the Federal voting ref
cree plan alone, or that combines
this plan with provisions having
to do with school integration.
But many observers suspect
that the Southerners-at least
some of them-will consider it
moral victory if the legislation
can be confined to voting con-
siderationS. Certainly, if such a
bill were finally passed 1t would
make Lyndon Johnson's chances

The Decisions Route

Mr.. Lovett was not critical Of
President Eisenhower. Implicit in
his testimony, however, were mis-
givings over current practices in
arriving at top-level decisions. And
the business of sheltering the
President from differences among
his chief advisers Is one that per-
haps heads his list.

a kind Of court of domestic and

the President and before which

of which were in conflict. These
points were debated and there was
cross-examination.

Debate Desirable

It is difficult to argue with the
Lovett contention that the better
the information, the better the
decision is likely to be.
The former Defense chief made
it plain. too, that he is not afraid
of debate within the military.
Those who seek a merger of the
armed forces in order to do away
with "interservice pickering" might

Compromise Hint

Senator johnson, who is in

of the forces wanting civil rights
legislation this year. gave q broad
hint of a possible compromise to
come. At a news conference FRI
day evening, he predicted the
Senate would pass a good voting
rights bill"
The Senator's choice of words
was interesting and, perhaps sig

tial nomination candidacy a good
deal brighter.
Meanwhile, the Negro lunch
counter revolution" continues to
spread In the South. Whether
the movement is spontaneous, as
the Negroes insist. or it is a
studied campaign directed by agi-
tators attempting to influence
civil rights legislation in Con-
greSS, as charged by Senator Rus
sell, it is becoming serious one.
More and more city and State
officials are moving against the
demonstrators, who take seats in
white-only lunch rooms and re-
fuse to leave unless they are
served. But as more arrests pile
UP, the demonstrations spread.
And as they do. the danger OF
serious race violence increases.
Reports from Columbia, S. c.,
that a band of Negroes armed
with bricks and clubs battered
parked cars at a white drive-in
restaurant is a case in point.
There is doubt, even in pro-civil
rights quarters, that the Negroes
are advancing their cause any

THE FOREIGN SCENE
A 7 oxen Of Respect
F or Latin America

President Eisenhower, having
concluded an 11-day tour of
four Latin American nations,
returns to Washington tomorrow
tired but gratified by his recep-
tiOn and talks with his Brazilian,
Argentine, Chilean and Uru-
guayan hosts.
II have hoped that this trip
would be recognized throughout
the continent as an expression
Of the deep respect and affection
held by the people of the United
States for all the people of Latin
America"
With these words President Eli
senhower Thursday took leave of
his host in Uruguay, President
Benito Nardone, and flew to
Buenos Aires for a switch to his
Jet transport and a fight, home
ward bound, to Puerto Rico.
There were no startling dis
closures of new Western Hemi-
sphere plans or programs during
the Presidents tour. There were
declarations, issued Jointly with
each Of his four hosts, pledging
cooperation and high resolve for
the economic development of
Latin America and for political
and cultural harmony. But all the
manifeStoS were couched in gen.
eral terms and phrases. Back in
Puerto Rico. where he stopped off
for rest and a few rounds of golf
at Ramey Air Force Base, Mr..
Eisenhower himself rejected the
idea that any master plan" could
be devised for solving Latin Amer
lean problems.
These problems. the President
told Caribbean regional meeting
of the American Assembly, a nom
partisan study and discussion
group now in session at the Dorado
Beach Hotel near San Juan, were
pressing and must be answered
soon and effectively" But "pana-
cea proposals, facile solutions, will
lead only to disillusionment," he
declared.
w. Averell Hartman, former
Governor of New York and a dele
gate to the Dorado conference,
criticized the Eisenhower tour as
"a tour of exchange of compli-
mentS. am unhappy that
Mr.. Eisenhower has not presented
any new or broader policies
through which the United States
can contribute to the social and
economic growth of Latin Amer
ica,"
Evening star., 1960-03-06
Reception Good

But Secretary of State Herter,
who returned directly to the
United States from the South
American trip, called the PreSi-
dents journey extraordinarily
successful" The receptions ac-
corded Mr.. Eisenhower in every
capital visited, Mr.. Herter said,
were called the greatest ever re-
ceived by any individual" and
were extremely heartwarming
to all members of the party" But
Mr.. Herter told reporters that no
change in United States economic
aid policies toward Latin America
was contemplated "at this time"
The presidential party had
visited Brasilia, Brazil's modern-
istic, planned city which will be-
come the capital soon; Rio de
Janeiro; Buenos Aires, Santiago,
and Montevideo. There were
minor incidents in BuenoS Aires,
where Peronista supporters at
tempted to demonstrate along the
route of the Eisenhower welcome
caravan, and in Montevideo, where
Uruguayan student groups staged
a streetside near-riot. On both
occasions Mr.. Eisenhower got
whiff of police tear gas, but ap-
peared unruffled by the hostility
which was in such contrast to the
friendly enthusiasm of the vast
majority Of the welcoming crowds.
Mr.. Eisenhower seemed to bear
up remarkably we'll under the
strain of his carefully planned,
jam-packed schedule. He admitted
he was pushed" when he landed
in Puerto Rico, and his voice was
husky as he addressed the Amer
lean Assembly, left most of it

delegates with a grin,

Strategy Set

1t was at these meetings that
strategy was being set by the
following factions within the pro-
civil rights group:
First, the border State and

moderates who favor a voting
rights bill but who do not feel any
political necessity for legislating
on school integration. Majority
Leader Lyndon johnson resides
here.
Second, the group of Republican
administration regulars, headed
by Minority Leader Everett Dirk
sen, who back the Dirksen seven
point civil rights plan now before
the Senate. Fhese Senators, while
presently remaining firm. prob
ably would moderate their demands
in order to get bill passed with
out undue delay.
Several of them even feel that
the bill should be limited to voting
rights.
Third, there is the extreme lib
eral bloc, a coalition of Repub-
licans and Democrats from North
ern States where there are heavy
Negro populations. This group
favors a much stronger measure
than the Dirksen plan, and it
began voicing demands, unheeded
for the present, for cloture, a
ruling to shut off debate. Such a
ruling requires two-thirds ma
jority of those Senators present

Most Latin American comment
on the effects of the trip was
favorable. The Eisenhower atti-
tude and statements, said one top
diplomat, the liberal German
Arciniegas of Colombia, "give hope
of a radical change in policy to-
ward Latin America" AS predicted,
the Communist party groups along
the Eisenhower route refrained
from open criticism or demonstra-
tions, although there were reports
that some Communist participa-
ton was noted in the Montevideo
demonstration.

THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
Riqhts: Illustration and HOPE

The Senate last night broke
off the civil rights debate until
noon tomorrow after the South
ern filibuster produced the
longest continuous session in
the upper houses history.
The marathon Senate session on
civil rights began last Monday.
The 24-hour-a-day routine was
designed to wear down the small
band of Southern oppositionists
and bring about a decisive vote
when they had talked themselves
out. The hard core of the South
counted 16, perhaps 18, Senators.
That meant 80 pro-civil rights
Senators in the majority.
But as Bobbie Burns admon-
ished, the best laid plans some
times go awry. The filibuSter was
not 48 hours old when it became
apparent that the weary, ex-
hausted group was going to be the
majority, not the Southerners.
This was easy to understand,
the way the drama unfolded. The
Southerners, with their platoon
system, assigned four of their
group to a six-hour stint Of duty
each day while the others faded
out of sight to husband their
strength with proper sleep and
meals.
This latter was a luxury the
majority could not afford. The
Southerners did not wait until
they thought they could catch
the pro-civil rights group below
the minimum strength needed for
a quorum and thus win recess.
They demanded quorum calls
about three times in the early
morning hours. spaced sufficiently
far apart to make sleep dream
for their opponents.
AS the debate droned on during
the week and the Southerners-to
the surprise of many-kept their
speeches germane, the first ink
lings of a possible compromise
filtered through.
The activity of major impor-
tance was not going on in the
center stage, the Senate floor.
That was the place for the sound
and fury. The meetings signifying
something were being held in vari-
GUS Offices in the Capitol and Sem
ate Office buildings.
