On Bus Riders

ton laws led to violence in
Alabama.
Senators JayitS, Republican
of New York, and Douglas,
Democrat Of Illinois. introduced
a resolution seeking to have
Congress indorse the steps
taken by the Kennedy admin
istration to protect the rights
of the Freedom Riders.
Senator Stennis, Democrat Of
Mississippi, introduced a bill
which would make it q Federal

space and near places?"
If these African nations take
revenge and the United States
suffers a diplomatic debacle,
Mr.. Murrow warned, do not
fly to your information agency
crying that we have not told
our story abroad"
Turning to a general survey
of his first four months in Of
flee, the information director
told his former colleagues In
the press and broadcaSting in
dustry that not since the days
of World War II had he worked
with such frantic fascination. ~
He termed this the time OF
new zeal" where ut is not easy
to set the pace for my younger
colleagues"
| Mr.. MurroW listed the twin
aims Of his agency: To tell the
truth abroad so that it Is be-
lievable and, at the same time,
to make United States policy
"intelligible and, wherever pos
Sible, palatable."
In taking the offensive
against the Communists in the
war Of ideas" Mr.. Murrow
made it clear most attention
is being concentrated on Africa
and Latin America.
He described the Voice of
Americas rapid expansion, Of
its Spanish broadcaSts to Latin
America during the abortive
Cuban invasion last month.
BY 2 o'clock on he afternoon
Of April IT, he said, the Voice
had increased its Spanish
broadcast schedule from / hour
to 10 hours.
1--WE carried the whole story
-Castro's announcement, the
self Labeled INVASION the
writhing in Washington, the
agencies in the U.N. and
even the agonizing reappraisal
which o critical aftermath
spilled over the administra-
ton"
Mr.. Murrow said he has
learned two things IN the trasi-
ton from newsman to Govern
ment administrator: THE
first is that it is easier to ask
Questions than to answer them
and second, that questions are
never indiscreet but answers
sometimes are.
II suppose the art Of answer
ing is to produce proper mix
ture Of vandor and discretion
and to confess ignorance when
it is obvious"

Mr.. White, at his news con-
ference, had a mild rejoinder
to this. He acknowledged that

DR.. King arrived. but he
pointed out that Alabama law
enforcement officers were, too.

Gov. Patterson was asked
how long he promised to keep
martial law in force here. He
said he wanted to rescind this
"as soon as possible" This
would be, he said, when the
"agitators" leave and the
United States marshals leave

Gov. Patterson said martial
law here was costing Alabama
$50, 1000 q day-funds, he ex-
planned, that were intended for

Mr.. White said he and his
marShals, who are staying at

and taking no active role in
maintaining order here now,
will go "at the earliest possible

"A number Of private COM

Cites Leaders
MY concern was to help
make certain that q single rep
resentative group Of citizens
headed this effort In the United
States. And I am grateful to
Mrs. Roosevelt, Walter Reuther
and DR.. Milton Eisenhower for
their leadership.
"The United States Govern
ment has not been and cannot
be q party to these negotia-
tons. But when private citi-
zens seek to help suffering in
other lands through voluntary
contributionS-which is a great
American tradition-this Gov
ernment should not interfere
with their humanitarian efforts.
Neither law nor equity calls
upon US to impose obstacles in
their path as they seek to save
those who fought to restore
freedom in our hemisphere.
II am advised that the Logan
Act is not involved, inasmuch
as 1t covers only negotiations
In relation to any disputes or
controversies with the United
States, or to defeat the meas
ureS of the United States;
that tax exemption is granted
as a matter Of course to any
charitable organization en-
gagged in the rehabilitation and
assistance Of needy refugees,
and that export licenses are
routinely granted for human
itarian reasons, to ship farm
produce and medicines to Cuba,
and would thus be granted for
q humanitarian shipment Of
farm implements.
Hopes All Contribute
while this Government is
thus putting forward neither
obstacles nor assistance to this
wholly private effort, I hope
that all citizens will contribute
what they can. II they were
our brothers in a totalitarian
prison, every American would
want to help. I happen to feel
deeply that all who fight for
freedom particularly in our
hemisphere-are our brothers" I"

mier Castro in exchange for
