Republican leaders agreed
prior to their election post
mortem here this week end
to keep the lid on their hopes
and fears for the future and
their recriminations about
the recent past.
Their intra-party truce
plans include retention Of
Senator Morton Of Kentucky
as national chairman. at
least until May or June and
possibly until the end Of the
present session Of Congress.
He will then step aside with
the valid plea that he must
devote all his time to his
reelection effort in 1862.
The Vice President and
Mrs. Nixon will contribute to
the political and social ease
Of the occasion by abSentlng
themselves entirely from the
business sessions but enter
tanning the national commit
tee and State chairmen pres
ent at a reception at the
Columbia Country Club. 1t Is
hoped that the decision by
the Vice President not to
address the visiting f1remen
will discourage admirers Of
Gov. Rockefeller and Senator
Goldwater from personalities
and political claims in con-
nection with the November 8
mishap.

cuseS he still might have been
able to talk to Democratic
Senators, anyhow.
The ultras moved from this
historic demonstration to a
series of equally humorless
demands" upon the man
just unanimously chosen as
their new Democratic leader,
Mike Mansfield of Montana.
First, they called upon him
to give up the standing right
of a leader to make certain
com mittee appointments.
Next they agreed reluctantly
to let him go on making these
choices-if he would promise
to put them before all Demo-
cratic Senators for approval.
(He was, of course, going to
do this, anyhow
The unavoidable implica-
ton of all this earnest charg-
ing about was this: Certain
Democrats were publicly ex-
pressing something consider
ably less than full trust in
a new Democratic Vice Pres
ident-who cannot be cut
down without injuring Mr..
Kennedy, too-and a new
Democratic Senate leader.

This is a very interesting
thing that Mr.. Hendrix has
said. It cannot be dismissed
as an obscure incident. What
he has said, in effect. is this:
He accepts the reality Of
the Supreme Court decision
that segregation because Of
race is illegal in the schools.
He accepts the reality that
the court will not change its
mind. He is unwilling. as a
man. to 60 outside the law.
He cannot agree to violence.
So, there stands the long
time dragon Of the Klan.
So standing, he also stands
on the conscience of every
citizen, more especially those
whose position and oppor-
tunities are greater than his.
Can we do less than the

Ban on Recriminotions Reported Voted

The Vice President Is in
tent on silence about his own
plans until he actually ceases
to be Vice President. The diff
ficulty Of finding just the
right stance which will pro-
duce both personal income
and political dividends Is an
obvious one.
Thus the conference prom
ises few headlines. Most Re
publicans, remembering those
from a similar post mortem
in 1949. will be appropriately
grateful.
For publication, their re-
marks about the Nixon
Lodge campaign stress that
it was a near miss and dem
onstrated the party vitality
in a wide cross section Of the
Nation. They also profess to
believe that the Kennedy ad-
ministration cannot even
come close to fulfilling its
campaign promises.
The tone Of private CONVEX
sation among party leaders
is much more astringent.
They thought they could win
against Mr.. Kennedy and
would do so and their dis

u. S. Shows 1t Has d Limit

The Kennedy administra-
ton is not likely to alter
the policy initiated this week
by President Eisenhower.
BY withdrawing recognition
of the Castro government,
the United States has served
notice on all other govern
ments Of the world, par
ticularly on those in this
hemisphere, that it does not
look with favor on any con-
tinued support of the Castro
regime.
1t is significant that Earl
T. Smith, former United
States Ambassador to Cuba
and an intimate friend Of
President-elect Kennedy. has
just publicly characterized
the break in diplomatic re-
lations with Cuba as "a con-
structive step" and one that
could "go a long way in vim
dicating the Monroe Doc
trine."
But the action is not
merely the assertion by this
country of its opposition to
Communist meddling in
Cuba. 1t is a reaffirmation
of the principle that a gov
ernment which fails to dis
charge its obligations under
international law-protec-
ting the lives and property
of foreigners-is not entitled
to diplomatic recognition.
It isn't just q matter Of
what territory a dictatorship
controls, but whether it hon
ors international law. The
Peiping regime, for instance.
controls all Of mainland
China, Just as Castro con-
trolls all Of Cuba, but has
been guilty Of aggression in
Korea. The case Is even
stronger for q break in dip
lomatic relations with the
Moscow government. which
has not only violated interna-
tional law repeatedly but has
established by force a new
"colonialism" among the
nations Of Eastern Europe.
Some day American patience
may reach the limit In re-
lations with the Commu-
nists. It's important for the
Soviets to understand that
there really is q limit-and
that the American people
will never favor peace at
any price"

kind Of rule in force for
Senate membership, some
States Of little population
would have not two Sena-
tors but the irreducible one.
And others would have now
not two Senators but 20 or
more. The Senate, of course,
was explicitly made to re-
strict mere majority rule.
Thus some of those loudly
demanding absolute rule by
a majority-of- of-one would
thereby sink into oblivion in
a vastly enlarged Senate sea
and the interests of their
home States along with them.
More Importantly, the ef-
feet of this extraordinary
project would be indefinitely
to delay If not permanently to
endanger the whole legisla-
tive program of the new ad-
ministration to which these
same men so endlessly declare
their attachment.
The second historic ac-

enough members on juries

ment. The scoundrels soon
dominated and an outraged
public opinion forced the
organizations into decline.
Dragon Bill Hendrix. a
veteran of many years in
Klan circles, can no longer
stomach the leadership which
is going outside the law. 1t is
significant that he put this
into words, saying: II cannot
agree to such things as bomb
ing and burning schools"
This is an honest state
ment and, if adhered to,
merits sincere recognition
and commendation.
1t merits something else,
too. Only the wooly-minded
will fail to comprehend what
Bill Hendrix is trying to say
to the Nation. 1t is that the
resistance to the Supreme
Court orders in the schools
cases is now being taken over,
in large measure, by those
who intend to 60 outside the
law in their defiance of the
processes of courts. This will
destroy the spirit and econ
omy of the States and cities
which permit it to happen.
There is one more obvious
comment. It is this:
If Bill Hendrix, a relatively
poor man whose opportunities
for education and experience
were somewhat limited, can
find the intellectual honesty
and courage to announce he
is quitting the Klan business
because segregation in the
schools has been declared
unconstitutional and because
he no longer sees any way to
prevent it. even by going out
side the law with violence,
