RALEIGH-"We ought to be
kicked if we miss the boat in
1860" Jackie Robinson told 5000
persons attending an NAACP
Freedom Day Celebration" here
this week.
Mr.. Robinson told the crowd
to show it's concern over civil
rights at the polls. He was guest
of honor at the rally held in the
Raleigh Memorial auditorium on
May l.
'Let us have no patience for
candidates claiming neutrality in
the struggle between those who
would maintain inequalities and
those seeking justice for all per-
sons" said Kelly M. Alexander,
president of the North Carolina
State NAACP.
Mr.. Alexander continued, "The
crux of the so-called Negro pro-
blem in this state today is the
fact that the average North Car
Gilman has mental and spiritual
reservation on application to Ne
groes of the guarantees and safe
guards of our federal Constitu-
ton.
Thoughtful Negroes are great
ly appreciative of all that is be-
ing done by sincere persons and
groups operating along welfare
lines to improve their condition
in this state.
"But the Negro will and must
continue respectfully to insist
that such approaches to the pro-
blem are inadequate No lasting
solution will be found until the
double standard pattern itself has
been destroyed, and segregation
on account of color in all its
forms and expressions has been
done away with"
Both Mr.. Robinson and Mr..
Alexander are members of the
NAACP Board of Directors.

ity."
Viewed from q domestic
standpoint, the Presidents
address was q studied at
tempt to combat fears of in
flation and to revive the
strategy of o year ago for
curbing expenditures in Con-
gress. By pointing to the
prospect Of a budget surplus
of $4.2 billion in the fiscal
year beginning July /, 1860,
Mr.. Eisenhower really chal-
lenged the "spenders" in
Congress. He doesn't promise
tax relief but calls for debt
reduction first. Congress,
however. may wind up spend
ing most of the $40 billion
surplus and avoiding tax re-
lief altogether.
Certainly, the President
tried hard to give the impress
sion that. so far as the
administration is concerned.
it will seek to keep nom
defense spending down and
will not materially increase
appropriations on the mill
tary side. Obviously, all esti-
mates Of income made in
January for an ensuing fiscal
year can be wrong by a
billion dollars or so, but it's
much more likely that there
will be a surplus if Congress
does hold down spending.
Where is the surplus coming
from? Plainly the expecta-
ton is that the boom" year
Of 1860 will bring an un-
precedented flow of tax
receipts to the Treasury.
The trend. however, is
likely to be infiationary.
Prices Of steel will go up after
the first wage increase takes
effect next December. Other
industries will doubtless be
faced now with bigger and
bigger wage demands. Con-
sidering the failure of the
administration to get a nom

steel strike. all professions Of
a piouS interest in checking

how a hollow sound.

A Message of Sacrifice Is Detected
In Face Looking at the Past

This is the month of Janus.
In a way I like him better
than most of the gods Of
mythology.
One day early in Hitler's
occupation of Austria in the
spring of 1888. I came upon
an ancient statue of Janus
in the center of a street in
Vienna. Both bronze faces
had a patina of pale green.
The older one peered anx-
iously toward the west. The
younger face looked more
freshly to the east. I stood
there for a while, indulging
in an effort at communing
with this pagan god Of door
ways. The old face had seen
so very much. Once, indeed.
the hordes Of Islam had
camped outside the city walls
and Western civilization was
all but done in.
The effort at communica-
ton was no good, but I did
do an imaginative feature
on it. It was an effort to
peer into the future, and
what it saw with the young
face of Janus was rather
grim. AS it turned out, it
was not bleak enough,
though there was war in it,
because even then few
thought Hitler would stop
with Austria.
Now. in 1860. with all that
has happened since that
spring % years ago, cata-
logued in the vaults of time,
the outlook somehow has a
mite more hope in it than in
1888. To be sure, Old Ugly,
the nuclear bomb, is on the
horizon. But, for the moment
at least. he seems to be
equally ugly for the Russians.
Indeed, Mr.. Khrushchev, the

too. that the Soviet Union
openly shows some concern
about the policies and ac-
tionS Of the young giant in
the Communist family-Red

The Mcmahon line on the
maps of Asia has been ac-
cepted since 1914. But Pei
ping now disputes it. The bor-
der clashes with India and
Nepal involve this line. ia
nus. looking forward, can see
that this is the same bound
airy agreement which de-
fines the border between Out
er Mongolia and Russia.
There is also the matter of
Sinkiang and its border. To
the east there is no surveyed
line. 1t merges into Red
China. China has claimed 1t
for 1000 years and had 1t
under sporadic control for
about 500. 1t. like Outer
Mongolia. is now a Soviet
sphere of influence. During
the late l930S Russian geolo-
giSts reported the area rich
in strategic materials, includ-
ing oil. copper, zinc, coal,
uranium, tungsten and other
metals.
Janus, looking ahead, can
see population problems, ma
tional aspirations and a pow
er struggle after Macs pass
ing, which will further oc-
cupy the Soviets. 1t may we'll
be that 1860 will see progress
made in the business of
peaceful coexistence and CO.
operation.
II we-the Russians and
the Western nations-fumble
the chance it could be the
last real one.
The cynical face of Janus
the one looking backward
has a message for us. We will
never make it If we regard
ourselves as a nation espe-
cially selected by Divine Will
to be supreme without some
sweat and sacrifice.

WILLIAM S. WHITE

The most dangerous prob
lem now before the Western
allies is not their differences
over how to negotiate at the
summit with the Russians.
And it is never officially ad-
mitted to be a problem at all.
Responsible people here
and abroad have understand
ably played down this situa-
ton. for already it serves So
Wet interests as few things
could. All the same, its
gravity is becoming compel
ling and it needs to be men,
toned out loud.
The plain fact is this:
There is a steadily rising
antagonism to West Ger
many within the free world.
This is especially, and criti-
cally, true in Britain-which
is now the actual Western
leader in policy making for
the coming summit confer
ence with Nikita Khrushchev
Of the Soviet Union.
A close association with
West Germany has been at
the very heart of Western
policy since the cold war
began about 1947. What is
now going on is seriously
straining these vitally neces-
sary ties.
The Immediately obvious
cause of the new hostility to-
ward the Germans is a series
of crude anti-Jewish acts in
West Germany. Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer is moving
fast and sincerely to punish
this sort of thing and to see
that it does not continue.
The West Germans suggest
that Communist agents in
East Germany have framed
these incidents to attempt
to show that a new Naziism
is at work and so to hurt
West Germany with her al
lies. With this estimate, some

Looked at from an interna-
tional viewpoint. the most
striking thing about Presi-
dent Eisenhower's address to
Congress is the expression Of
a manifest diStrust of the
Soviet Union.
Again and again the Presi-
dent throws doubt on the
sincerity of the Khrushchev
promises and shows a dis
inclination to place any trust
in an agreement with the
Soviet Union that might
provide for disarmament.
Speaking of recent Soviet
department" Mr.. Eisenhower
includes many significant
reservations. such as "if these
pronouncementS be genuine"
and whether this is to be-
come an era of lasting
promise remains to be tested
by actions"
Again, the President warns
the free nations of the world
not to be ''misled by pleasant
promises until tested by per-
formance." He stresses the
need for dependable agree
mentS," and then aSSailS the
farce in Geneva where So
called scientists on the Soviet
side, who are really political
tools, are meeting with truly
scientific representatives of
the free nations in an at
tempt to get an agreement
on the suspension Of nuclear
tests. The President says:
Unfortunately, the clos
ing statement from the
Soviet scientists who met
with our scientists at Geneva

that their conclusions have
been politically guided"

ure Of disarmament
The words IF any" convey
a world of meaning. For they
show that the President of
the United States has not
been taken in by all the pol
lyanna talk and the hon.
eyed phrases that charac-
terized the recent visit of Mr..
KhruShchev to America. The
United States still has a
you've-got-t o-show-me atti-
tude. This is reaSsuring in
view of the impression re-
Gently created that peace is
assured and that interna-
tional tensions will be re-
moved by "a series of sum-
nit meetings"
The President wisely took
occasion to let the Com
muniSt propagandists know
that their misuse of words
isn't going to be ignored.
Mr.. Eisenhower speaks Of "a
storm of semantic disorder in
which old labels no longer
faithfully describe" forms of
government or economic sys-
TENS. He points out that
police states call themselves
peoples democracies" and
that the armed conquest of
free peoples is called liberia
ton" He speaks of such
slippery slogans" as making
difficult "the problem Of
communicating true faith,
facts and beliefs"
He says that. to make clear
"our peaceful intentions, our
aspirations for a better
world, we must use langu-
age Ito enlighten the mind.
not as the instrument of the
studied innuendo and dis
torter of truth"
There runs throughout the
Presidents address a distruSt
of Soviet motives which can
not but impress the world
that peace is still far from
realized. though Mr.. Eisen-
hover declares that I'VE must
strive to break the calami-
tous cycle of Illustrations and
crises which, If unchecked,
