show that they are accepting of
desegregated lunch counters,
which citizens do you mean?
Will you respond to majority?
70 Negro citizens? To white
citizens only? Perhaps to the
"White Citizens Councils?
How must the citizens dem
onstrate their willingness to
accept integrated eating facili-
ties? They could best do SO, as
they have already in some
Southern cities, after the coun-
ters are desegregated.
The fact that Kress store
managers are willing to meet
with Representative groups of
local citizens" to discuss the
problem seems to have little
relevance to many southern
communities where no such rep
resentative groups can exist.
This magnanimous offer is,
therefore, in many communities,
no offer at all.
We are not impressed. Nor

will do so when the S. H. Kress

very enlightening lecture to
the troops on the subject Of
what makes a man great. The
doughty field marshal lays
down some general requisites
but then produces examples
which refute them. The style
is almost pure copy-book.
Example: II sometimes ask
myself the question: If De
Gaulle had lived 5000 years
ago with the same PERSONAL
ity and makeup he has today,
would he have been able to
achieve what Moses did?' My
answer would be No Nor
could Moses do what De
Gaulle is doing today. Moses
was exactly right for his own
times-and in France De
Gaulle is right for his"
What the book makes plain
is that leadership. which the
field marshal undoubtedly
has, is, like an invitation to
the White House, non-trans-
ferable.

1t will be 16 years ago
this Wednesday since Frank
lin D. Roosevelt died from a
massive cerebral hemorrhage.
His death in the quiet of his
presidential retreat at Warm
Springs. Ga. came as a
shock to a world at war and
for many the passing years
have merely dimmed the
memory Of sorrow and dis
may they experienced on
hearing the news.
Bernard Asbell, a freelance
writer and frequent contribu-
tor to magazines, has under
taken to recreate the atmos-
phere Of that April day and
succeeding days when the
passing of one man had a
profound effect throughout
the world. Much of the de-
tails Of Roosevelt's death
have been well told in VIII

diaries and in other books.
But it has remained for Mr..
Asbell to pull together the
impressions of the time and
recreate the mood of a coun-
try suddenly deprived of its
leader.
The result is an emotion
packed book; indeed, the
author seems to have over
looked no opportunity, how
ever unimportant, to stress
the emotional theme. "The
dominant emotion" Mr..
Asbell writes. ". was not Of
sorrow but fear. Roosevelt
