be churlish to complain.
He often acts impulsively,
and perhaps he saw a chance
for a quick dividend in the
uneaSe over the Congo sit
uation. particularly now that
Goa has been added on with
West New Guinea in the
wings.
Just how troublesome the
administration thinks it all
is appears in the instant

secretary of State George
Ball and the Presidents close
attention to the details. That
there would be so much pro-
Katanga sentiment abroad
was not foreseen though the
wide extent of British and
Belgian mining interests
there was known.
1t appears that the Pres
dents meeting with British
Prime Minister Macmillan is
more urgent than at first
thought. But Mr.. Kennedy has
something to trade, and that
is support on Goa. Portu-
gal and India are more i'm
mediately important to Brit
ain than to the United
States. for one is her ancient
ally and the other a men,

that the George Washington

free of the blatancies to be ex-
pected usually in non-profes-

stimulate. as 1t already has,
the formation of blocs and
factions which. in turn. play
politics and engage in world
wide intrigues that cannot
in the end accomplish any
good for the smaller and
weaker countries themselves.
Instead, the former colonies
of the European powers have
become pawns in the game
of world politics and are be-
ing exploited even more than
when they were colonies.
The friction that has been
engendered in Africa is the
direct result of Communist
plotting. The State Depart
ment has publicly acknowl-
edged that the U. Ms trou-
BILE in the Congo is largely
the result of Soviet maneu-
vering. In fact, the United
States explains its military
support of the U. N. in Ka-
tanga as necessary to prevent
a Communist takeover.
But these are things that
should be aired inside the
United Nations itself. The
truth Is the U. N. has neg
lected to focus attention on
the misbehavior of it's own
members. To neglect now,
for instance, to bring Presi-
dent Nasser of Egypt before
the bar of justice for vio-
lating his pledge to keep the
Suez Canal open to the YES
sells of all nations is to COM
pound the difficulties Of the
U. N. itself in it's assumed
role of maintaining world
peace.
If nations cannot here
after send their vessels
through the Suez Canal, with
troops destined for areas
where their own nationals
and property are threatened,
then a dictator in Cairo can
thwart the enforcement of
this international right, and
the whole structure of inter-
national law can be seriously
impaired.

Only a few weeks ago,
Richard Nixon presented to
correspondents the picture of
a thoughtful. r-sighted pol
itician who believed that ex-
treme right-wingers were in
juring his party and his own
ambition to be Governor of
California.
He deplored their con-
spiracy theory of history and
their simplified solutions. He
said he was having trouble
getting money because too
many party fat cats were
putting it into right-wing
causes, and he expected the
same circumstance to harm
other Republican candidates.
His views seemed sensible
and received wide attention.
The net impression was that
Of a candidate dedicated to
a moderate and well-con-
sidered course.
The Kennedy administra-
ton, which has gone to some
lengths to be friendly with
him, was the more surprised
when he burst forth as a
friend Of Katanga. He has

and-butter reasons as the
peace and order of our COM
munitieS, the prosperity of
business and the orderly con-
duct of public affairs require
us to act with common sense.
There are, of course,
broader arguments for a real
ization of what is required Of
us-the demands of constitu-
tional law, the future of our
country. the faith of Ameri-
cans in one another - all
these are necessary to our
future. If we are unable to
decide about who may buy
what in a store, who may
use a public railway or bus
station and who may go to
school, then we are doomed
to undergo a long period of
chaos, grief, Illustration and
erosion of spirit.
The warning bell and whiS-
tie Of the processes Of con-
Stitutional law are found, for
example, in the following by
Justice Douglas:
"One can close the doors
of his home to anyone he de-
sires. But one who operates
an enterprise under a license
from the Government enjoys
a privilege that derives from
the people. :"
For some time it has been
becoming palmer and plain
er that every person who is
a citizen has equal rights.
This is something which some
people find impossible to ad-
NIT. They can cause them
selves, their families and their
communities nothing but sor-
row if they continue to insist
that some citizens are pro-
tected by all the constitu-
tional provisions and some
are not. The fact that such
discrimination was for a long
time practiced without inter-
ference does not alter the
facts.
What the law seems to be
saying to us is that certainly
there can be no question of
invasion of privacy. A mans
home is his home. He will
invite to 1t whom he chooses.
He will associate only with
whom he selects.

the Russians to send in as
many spies as possible. There
are plenty of volunteers who
for a pittance are willing to
make such a small risk. And
a few months in jail-the
usual sentence - provides
them with better food than
they have in their homeland.
But while actual espionage
in West Germany is ram
pant, the danger of subver-
sion and active communism
has been reduced to almost
zero compared to what it is
in other free nations. The
German Socialist Party is
definitely nationalist and pa
triotic. The Communist cells
which came into existence be-
tween 1945 and 1850, partic-
ularly in the coal basin of
the Ruhr and other indus
trial centers, have not gone
underground but have dis
appeared. One contributing
cause was that Moral Re-
armament crews went to
work in this region and a
large number of working men
joined UP in the fight against
communism.
Another contributing cause
has been the stories told by
escapes from behind the
Iron Curtain, and particu-
larly East Germany. The re-
suit has been that commu-
nism is taboo in West Ger

by consensus of the nearly
56 million Germans.
The universities which had
become decadent in the days
of Naziism have recovered
their academic freedom. Not
only are the professors free
to teach whatever they like,
but the student body, larger

ment currently is siding with
Nehru and applauding his
aggression in Goa. Also.
there probably aren't enough
affirmative votes in the Gen
eral Assembly to approve the
motion for such an inquiry.
For the Assembly recently
went on record against Por-
tugal because of her refusal
to give up her colony In
Angola, on the west coast Of
Africa.
The Afro-Asian bloc today
dominates the Assembly. and
more often than not this
means that the Soviet Union
can get a majority vote to
back its so-called "anti-co-
lonial" maneuvers.
Sooner or later the United
States will have to find some
way to overcome the numer-
ical barrier in the U. N. aris-
ing from the fact that there

deed, many Of the new Afri-
can states have hardly any
literate population and could
not possibly exist without
foreign aid. Every so-called
nation, whether or not cap
able of self-government or

a vote equal to that of the
United States. The Soviet
Union even has two extra
votes for its internal prov
inces. 1t is just as logical
for the United States to de-
mand that it be given so

President Nasser of Egypt

blunder - possibly worse in
its effect than Nehru's theft
Of the Portuguese territory

For the Egyptian dictator

pledge that, in operating the
canal, his country would
never interfere with the free
passage of any vessels, un-
less Egypt itself were at war.
Does this mean that here
after, to be protected against
Nasser's partiality to this or
that bloc in world affairs,
the first step on the mill
tary agenda of a powerful
nation must necessarily be
to seize the Suez Canal?
The United States in 1856
frowned on the British
French attempt to seize the
canal to protect their rights.

Not long ago, Prime Min

ment was made then that If
Portugal attempted to come
to the rescue of her nation
ais in Goa. the Egyptians
would block passage of any
Portuguese ship through the
Suez Canal. Such a deal
would imply that the head of
the Indian government dis
closed his plans for aggres-

For a year as a Wander
bilt University law student I
sat at the feet of Judge Ed
Seay, an erudite, somewhat
eccentric man whose subjects
were wills and real property.
He had a stubby forefinger.
When he pointed it the eff
feet was somewhat the more
impressive because of its
bluntneSS.
Young man." he would
say. "the law rarely pounces.
It proceeds along well-defined
rails, ringing a warning bell
and blowing the whistle for
each crossing. It is those who
ignore the bell and the whis-
tie who are struck by the
law"
His pointing finger and
words came to mind on read
ing the Supreme Court deci-
sion which reversed the con-
viction of lunch counter sit
ms in Louisiana. The court
dismissed the "breach-of-
the-peace" sentences because
there was not, of course, any
evidence of preaching the
peace. A man or woman Sit
ting at a table or counter
is not preaching the peace.
Since, then, there was no pos
tive breach of the peace, as
is required to sustain the
charge, the convictions were
set aside without any con-
stitutional decision.
But the law was, and is,
ringing the warning bell and
blowing the whistle. 1t did
this for more than 10 years
before the school decision in
1854. Even so, it came as a
shock and surprise to many.
The Louisiana findings reveal
that members Of the court are
divided as to the broadness
of the constitutional rights
Of sit-ins on privately owned
property which, however,
must have a publicly issued
license to do business and
which, after obtaining such a
