sons as possible to attend the
hearing on the bill at the state cap

The statement continued, I'VE
are confident the Councils affili-

Jackson might well have been

says the Rev. Maurice Dawkins

trend, which started with the de-
velopment of the new nations four
or five years ago"
Brainwashed: Claude A. Barnett
of Chicago, director Of the AS
ISOLATED Negro Press (servicing 90
newspapers in Africa, So in the
U.S.), says this: when the Ne
groes were brought to America
as slaves, the slavers destroyed
every link with their former life
and obliterated everything tradi-
tional. They brainwashed the
slaves and taught them that moth
ing Negro was good and that black
was essentially inferior. Now, Ne
groes are taking pride in the gov
ernments being formed in Africa"
More simply, a Negro waitress in
San Francisco says:
"AIl I know is that the colored
man is more important in the
world now. The pictures in the Un-
tied Nations are full of dark men.
Maybe people in this country will
see that now. Maybe the dark
men here will get more respect"
This viewpoint seems to be less
strong in the South, where the
Negro understandable is more dir
ectIy concerned with his own strug-
gle for racial equality.
A typical Southern comment
comes from L. D. Milton, presi-
dent of the Citizens Trust Co. of

Big differentials In interest
rates lure investors from the
United States to other coun-
tries. increasing the payments
deficit. The administration
also has attacked the interest
rate gap by acting to keep
short-term rates up. Another
move last week, approved by
the administration, will allow
commercial banks here to at
tract investors by paying up to
4 per cent interest instead of
8 per cent.
Early repayments of debts by
foreigners and controls on
United States spending abroad
also have helped. In addition.
the administration took the
lead in negotiations to expand
the International Monetary
Funds capacity to make loans
to help member nations handle

estimate for this year is about
81 billion, but such surpluses
are not big enough to offset
American spending for foreign
aid, overseas troops and other
programs.
One reason the payments
deficit has increased in recent
months is that recovery from
the recession has boosted Amer
lean demand for imports, hold
ing down the export surplus.
The Kennedy administration
is pushing exports through
promotional programs, includ-
ing trade fairs sponsored by
the Com merce Department,
and new measures to liberalize
export credit and insurance.
Since price and quality are
basic to competition, the Pres
ident has been exerting pres
sure on labor and management
to hold down wages and prices,
to adopt cost-cutting tech
niques and to show more initia-
tive in developing new products.

ton. President Kennedy last
winter got speculation under
control by persuading the
world that the United States
would not devalue the dollar
and that the Government was
determined to act firmly to
end the payments deficit.
Gold stocks actually rose
last spring, but the outflow
lately has increased.
Action Taken
The administration has taken
a variety of stop-gap actions
to reduce the payments deficit
and the gold outflow until basic
remedies can take effect.
At monthly meetings in
Basle, Switzerland, for ex-
ample, American monetary au-
thorities consult with central
bankers of other major coun-
tries. Partly as a result of
these discussions. foreign gov
ernments from time to time
slow down their purchases of

abroad. They also find hope in
the auto industry's success in
winning the American small
car market back from foreign
competitors.
The Tariff Argument
But these efforts will accom-
plish little, the administration
warns, if American producers
bump against high tariffs when
they try to export. Officials are
especially fearful that high
tariffs may squeeze American
exports out Of Western Europe's
Common Market.
President Kennedy has
decided that foreign countries
will cut their tariffs against
American products only if the
United States reduces its
tariffs. And he will argue next
year that the United States can
make meaningful tariff cuts
only if Congress greatly broad
ems the Presidents negotiating
authority.
Forces favoring high tariffs
challenge the assumption that
foreign competitors will cut
their tariffs substantially.

Democrats Set
Caucus Jan. 9
By ROBERT X. WALSH
Star Staff Writer

House Democrats plan to
caucus the day before Congress
reconvenes, to choose their
candidate for Speaker, party
sources said today.
The caucus notice prepared
for mailing to all House Dem
ocratic members this week gives
no indication as to when the
Democrats will select their ma
jority leader. This also would
be done in a closed meeting,
by secret ballot.
Representatives Albert of
Oklahoma and Boiling of Mis-
souri, have announced their
candidates. for that position,
now held by Representative
Mccormack of Massachusetts,
who is expected to win the
Speakership.
A successor to the late
Speaker Rayburn must be
elected January 10, the day
Congress reconvenes, by the en-
tire House on the basis of NOM
nations by the Democratic
and Republican Parties. The
Democratic floor leader also
will be selected in a party
caucus by secret ballot but the
selection will not have to be
ratified by the House itself.
Mr.. Mccormack still has no
assurance he will be unopposed.
Representative Rains of Ala
bama has said he is consid-
ering becoming candidate
against Mr.. Mccormack.
Representative Walter of
Pennsylvania, one of the most
powerful of veteran Democrats
in the House, also has been
mentioned as a possible last
minute entry in a contest for
the speakership. It was
learned today he has been ap-
preached by several colleagues
who suggested that he seek
the speakership.
Mr.. Walter, chairman of the
House Committee on Un-Amer-
ican Activities, was elected last
January for a two-year term
as chairman of the House
Democratic Caucus, and there
fore will preside at the Jan
uary 8 meeting.
