Visit to Texas in Congressional Race
Could Give Shot in Arm to Democrats

Although President Ken
nedy will soon journey to the
Southwest and West to help
Senators who do not visibly
need help right now. he is
by-passing a Texas congress
sional race November 4 in
which the stakes happen TO
be unusually large.
This Texas contest might
yield him a sure House vote
which he greatly needs. 1t
could give the tagging State
party a shot in the arm and
discourage the surging Texas
Republicans who are giving
their all plus former Presi-
dent Eisenhower to their own
candidate.
For Kennedy personally,
some form of intervention
would go far to re-burnish
his popularity with voters of
Latin American desce
whose enthusiasm for him
has proved difficult to reward
with prestige appointments.
1t was perhaps only bad
timing which will put Ken
nedy in relatively close prox-
unity to the bid of Texas
State Senator Henry Con-
zalez Of San Antonio to re-
place Democrat Paul Kilday
who resigned from the House
last month to become a Fed

eral judge. Yet there is
no solid evidence that covert
ways and means to help Con-
Zalez have been adequately
researched at the White
House.
The Democratic organiza-
ton Of San Antonio and sur
rounding Bexar County is
commanded by Sheriff Owen
Kilday, the prospective
judges brother. Sheriff Kill
day pulled off a big victory
last fall for Kennedy in the
district despite the same re-
ligious and ethnic prejudice
which now afflicts Gonzalez.
The President has cogently
expressed his own gratitude
but he cannot escape all
blame If Kilday now sits on
his hands. Also the much
advertised affluence Of Texas
does not prevent the State
from enjoying vast Federal
benefits of all kinds and it
continues to ask for more.
1t is only one of life's lit
tie ironies that the emerging
Texas Republicans stress
States rights. Thus Con-

proclaims himself a militant
liberal who will oppose nearly
all the Kennedy domestic

live, the fact of this separa-
ton is, of and by itself. no
evidence of an inequality in
education. Whether in fact
the facilities and instruction
are equal in a 100 per cent
white school, mixed school.
and a 100 per cent Negro
school in a large city Is to
be determined by examining
the schools, not by appeal to
phrases such as de facto
segregation with the impli-
cation that it is to be con-
demned by all right-think-
ing people who condemn de
jure segregation
In some cities political
leaders have attempted to
put pressure on the school
authorities to have Negro
children attend essentially
white schools. In my judg-
ment the cities in which the
authorities have yielded to
this pressure are on the
wrong track. Those which
have not done so, like Chi
cago. are more likely to make
progress in improving Negro
education"
DR.. Conant in his book
tackles the whole subject on
the basis of improving edu-
cation. and, while his de-
scription of conditions in the
slum areas of the United
States is discouraging, the
problem will not be solved
by ignoring their existence.
That's why 1t is surprising
to find resentment expressed
by the Prime Minister of
Nigeria because an American
visitor describes the facts of
life in that country. The
sooner the new African re-
publics learn something about
democracy and a free press
which doesn't hesitate to
print all the facts no matter
how unfavorable-the quick
er will solutions be found for
some of the vexing problems
that arise as a consequence
of poverty.

S. WHITE

A fellow practically writes
himself out of the sages' un-
ion these days by taking
anything other than a line
of owliSh skepticism and un-
relieved gloom.
All the same. a thoroughly
realistic look plainly shows
that some cheerfulness, how
ever faint and relative. is in
sisting upon breaking through
in the international skies,
still heavy and lowering
though they are. 1t is a sud-
den and unexpected break
through. but it is real.
These are among the facts,
so far as this correspondent
has been able to gather them
from perSonages within the
Western Alliance who are
neither grinning optimiSts
nor third-string officials:
/. The position in the
United Nations of the United
States and the West in gen.
eral is not only far stronger
than might have been ra-
tionally hoped only weeks
ago. 1t is also still improv-
ing.
1t is now possible to pre-
dict with some confidence
that the Russians will not be
able. either this year or next,
to destroy the integrity of
the executive office of the
U.N., its Secretary General
ship.
The new African and Asian
neutralist countries to which
the Soviet Union has so long
paid such heavy-handed
court are moving away from
the Russians. Certainly they
are moving away on the
question whether the Rus
slams are to be allowed to
set up some phony multi
headed Secretary Generalship
which would really mean no
effective office at all. And
it even looks that perhaps

they are moving away from
the Russians on the whole
broader issue of the cold war
itself.
United Nations informants
of high position and relia-
bility say Mr.. KhruShchev's
brutal action in resuming
nuclear testing on a vast
scale, thus poisoning the air
with fallout, has at best had
some genuine effect on the
neutralS.
They now even believe it
to be possible, moreover, that
the Russians have so badly
overplayed their hand on the
Secretary GeneralShip ques-
ton as to lose neutralist votes
on other issues.
President Kennedy's tough,
sudden action in reStating
strongly that we do not pro-
pose to let the Russians mus
Gle the Red Chinese into
the United Nations reflects
this new situation.
There was a time, and
not long ago, when we
gravely doubted we could keep
the Red Chinese out. The
best sources now are more
confident on this point.
2. Notwithstanding the per-
sistent reports and specula-
tions to the contrary, the
Western Alliance is in fact
demonstrably drawing closer
together. rather than farther
apart, against the Russians
over Berlin.
3. Finally, Premier Khru-
shchev himself is in obvious
trouble within his own Com
munist empire. The public
rebuke just given to him, to
his face and in Moscow, by
his most powerful accomplice,

DR.. Conant tries to deal

question of schools in the
Slums and the efforts re-

trace of bias or prejudice on
the race question in DR.

the Supreme Court decision
of 1854 on desegregation of
the public schools. But he
questions some of the in

He particularly doubts the
wisdom of proposals for NOV
ing Negro children into all
white schools so as to have
mixed schools. He writes:
Taken out of context. the
conclusion might be drawn
that the justices declared

ties, for whatever reason
provided. are morally wrong
and if supported by tax

Yet on reading carefully
the whole opinion. I think
the key sentence is the ques-

Does segregation of children

other tangible factors may
be equal, deprive the children
of the minority group of

None of the information in
this article comes from any
postcard written by a Niger
ian student visiting the
United States. Most of it
comes from the pen of James
3. Conant. formerly president
of Harvard University and
one of Americas leading
educators. 1t is taken from
his new book "Slums and
Suburbs" which was written
after a first-hand study of
schools in the suburbs of
well-to-do people and in the
slums of the poor in large
cities of America.
DR.. Conant says that the
building up of a mass of
unemployed and frustrated
Negro youth in congeSted
areas" in American cities has
in it potentialities for trouble
and. indeed. possibilities of
disaster. He describes Negro
Slums in the big Northern
cities as follows:
I'm some there are very
bad gangs with gang warfare
among the boys. There are
also vicious fights outside of
school between Negro girls.
The condition in one such
neighborhood was summed
up to one of my staff by a
principal of a junior high
school, who aid even he was
shocked by the answers to a

been subject to incredibly
violent family fights and
horrors through the night.

new PCplar-Sccbay 81 XIV trans
mission line was placed in ser

Brad Durant, division manager
for the utility. The 45-mila line
connects the company's 1857 XIV
substation at Poplar with the
transmission system serving the
urban and rural electric custom
ers in a large area Of northeast

Durant stated that the new line
will more than double the amount
of power available in the area for
the c0mpany's customers and for
the Rural Electric .CCoperatives
who have been served under
INDUS wheeling agreement with
the Bureau of Reclamation. This
agreement has been in effect
since 1945. The line also provides
two-Way service to northeastern
Montana customers served by the
company.
The contractor, Van Daveer &

work on October 2 and required
only two months to complete the
project. This is considered an
excellent performance in view
OF the variable weather conditions
that prevail so late in the year.
