bound to hurt the cause Of
liberation inside Cuba. For
1t pictures the American
people as interested in saving
1900 Cuban prisoners but
not so much concerned about
the entire Cuban nation

munist partners.
There is little hope, in
cidentally, that the exchange
Of tractors for the prisoners
will go through. It isn't easy
to raise SIS million for any
rescue mission outside the
United States, and rarely
has anything approaching
the sum ever been collected,
even for a famine or earth
quake disaster. Castro, never
theleSS, will make consider
able propaganda out of the
incident, and there is no as
Surance that he will accede
to the terms of the American
committee that, as the trac-
tors are delivered, there will
be exchanged at the same
time certain specified pris-
oners so as to insure that
the agreement will be kept
by Castro.
It Is unfortunate that
Walter Reuther and members
Of his committee have prom
ised to 60 to Cuba themselves
to negotiate an agreement
with Castro. For the Cuban
dictator doubtless will use
the occasion to tell the Gu
ban people that prominent
Americans are coming to

recognize his right to
threaten or actually to exc

as an Indemnity" from the
United States because Of the
recent invasion" Whatever
Interpretation he may put on
it there are many Americans
who viii donate money to
save lives. The instinct is
commendable. but the ma
neuver cannot put place Cas-
tro in a position of strength.
For it will mean that his
demand for what he calls

claimed throughout the world
as having been met.
Also. it will give the people
of Cuba the impression that
the American people are
afraid of Castro and are
ready to bow to his demands
- and those Of his Communist
associates who doubtless
thought up the ransom
scheme.
Failure of the invasion"
was a psychological blow to
the hopes of those who have
sought to liberate Cuba. The
United States is blamed for
not following through with
adequate air suppo at the
critical moment. The effect

has been one of diSappoint-

from the violent and hateful
extremism on the race ques-
ton being prepared for that
South by the real South
haterS in the North.
All these crude extremists
on the other side, all these
spiritual heirs Of the Recon-
struction Yankees who waved
the bloody shirt over old Dixie
after the War Between the
States, have now been i'm
mensely strengthened. They
had not, up to now, been
great in number, though they
had been large in influence
because their vast Northern
States have the electoral votes
which are the payoff in pres
idential elections.
Now it is not only that
their numbers will increase.
Now also they are given op-
portunity to say to the mod
crate Northerners: We told
you so. Look, now, at what
goes on in 1.-The South"
OF course, it is not "the
South" which is guilty of
the grimy disorder of Mont
gomery. But in the easy
shorthand of extremism a
very small white trashy part
of a single city now enables
the South-haters to indict a
whole region, a whole people.
And so mournful conse-
quence is piled upon mourn
full consequence. The able,
the decent, the moderate
Southern politicians-those
who in the Senate and else
where are literally indiSpen-
sable to South and Nation
alike-will progressively lose
influence. And so their power
to protect the South itself
from bitter and irrational
outside reformism will con-
tinue to decline.

ers in the South deliberately

"a million dollars for Fidel
Castro, dead or alive-but
preferably alive"
This is the latest suggeS-
ton made by a reader in
answer to those who want to
raise SIS million to pay off
Castro and liberate the 1900
Cubans taken prisoner in the
recent invasion" attempt.
The reason for wanting to
form q committee to induce
the Cuban people to capture
Castro and send him to some
foreign country is so he may
be tried for international
crimes just as Adolf Eich-
mann is being tried in Israel
today.
The capture of Eichmann
was accomplished privately
within a foreign country
where he had taken refuge,
but in the case of Castro.
who is still in his own coun-
try, it would be natural for
citizens there to seize him
and bring him to justice in
Cuban courts. For he is
guilty Of the mass execution
of innocent persons on hear
say evidence and without
benefit of a fair trial. There
must be many persons inside
Cuba who would wish to see
Castro punished.
! The fact that a committee
Of prominent American citi-
zens is ready to do business
with Castro in order to liber-
ate some Of the prisoners he
holds is provoking differences
of opinion in Washington.
While it is argued that the

In saving human lives-even
raising what is admittedly a
ransom - there are many
others who think that this
would be a disgraceful
concession to Castro's in
humanity.

Alabama's khan terrorists
have added a chapter of near
murder and mob violence at
Montgomery. This follows
similar action at Admission
and Birmingham.
At Montgomery the police
were somehow late in arriv-
ing. The mob repeatedly had
some 10 minutes in which to
do their work without inter-
ference. At Admission and
Birmingham there also were
delays and laxities in law
enforcement.
The victims are the So
called Freedom Riders.
1t is apparent the people
Of Alabama do not realize
the meaning of their dilemma,
as other Southern States did.
Not until Alabama was
reached did the groups testing
the right to travel on inter-
State buses meet with danger.
Other States planned and
avoided it by following the
law which allows orderly
travellers to proceed uninter-
rupted.
The usual excuses are be-
ing made in Alabama.
From the Governor on
down to local officials, news
papers, and official groups,
the illogical naturalization
is being made that these are
outsiders" and that by Of
Tending local tradition 1t is
they who have provoked the
trouble. First of all, this
overlookS the fact that the
groups are dedicated to pas
sive resistance. They do not
strike back when attacked.
They do not return curse for
curse. This fact, indeed,
seems to have added to the
fury of the mobs.
All deep South Southerners
live in glass houses. But
Alabama's troubles permit
observation. Southerners ev-
erywhere are slow to realize
that the lunchroom sit-ins
and the travel groups repre-
sent q new technique. Both
have managed to dramatize
q moral issue. And in civil
lied countries a moral issue
may not be avoided. The
sit-inS called attention to
the fact that purchases might
