Southern conservative Sen
atorS are preparing to give a
decent burial to a nasty row
involving the high military.
1t is a row which if not thus
quietly put to rest could vast
ly harm this country's whole
defense structure amid a
world crisis.
These men of great use
fulness and great RESPONSE
bility are Senators Richard
B. Russell of Georgia and
John C. StenniS of MiSSis-
sipi. Senator Russell is chair
man of the Senate Armed
Services Committee. Senator
Stennis is one of its most
influential members.
This committee is now
making a preliminary in
quiry to determine whether
there should be an about

Senator Strom Thurmond of
South Carolina that military
officers are being gagged"
for being, as he sees it, too
vocally Communist.
Those willing to follow the
unavoidable complexities of
this singular tale may be
more able, at the end, to
understand why calm South
ern conservatives Of the Rus
sell-Stennis stamp are so in
dispensable to any Demo-
cratic White House, however
liberal. True, they often vote
on economic issues against
any liberal Democratic Pres

cisely the men who will
stand most steadfastly. and
most effectively. for such a
President on issues where
mere emotionalism threatens
to provoke dangerous dis
array within the very Ameri-
can Government, itself.
The present issue is just
such an issue. In substance,
it is really a contest between
the clashing extremist views
of two other, and wholly I'M

Thurmond and Fulbright of
Arkansas. Sen. Thurmond is

Everyone in America would
back up almost any effort
President Kennedy might
make to avert another world
war and to bring about a
reduction in the current cost
of "peacetime" ornaments.
But, as so often happens
when governments get begged
down in the rituals of
diplomacy, the obvious is
overlooked. Reliance is too
often placed on strong talk
to the Kremlin about bigger
and better weapons or the
mobilization Of armies. But
this doesn't reach the Rus
sian people.
Today the most obvious
fact staring the whole world
in the face is that a dicta-
torship exists in the Soviet
Union which hes to its own
people by completely distort-
ing and disappearing the
viewpoint of the We"tern
countries. This is not an
academic matter for the
Russians, either. For if war
comes, millions of them will
lose their lives.
Yet the United States Gov
eminent is falling dCwn
badly in communicating its
views to the people behind
the Iron Curtain. The excuse
usually offered is that it is
hard to penetrate Commu-
nist-controlled areas and
that radio broadcasts can
be damned" This is partly
true, but there are ways of
reaching into the Soviet
Union if a massive effort
were made by the United
States.
It seems incomprehenSible
that in a country like
America, where publicity and

to make freedom a reality" Here the
Passover poem by Yehudah Halevi was
pertinent: =" While babes taught men
Thy power to know, Thy Kingdoms might

deemed band"
Rev. King told Negro leaders they were
still "far from the Promised Land" Ac-
cording to Rev. King, 'The United States
Constitution says all men are created free
and equal. 1t doesn't say all white men,
1t includes Negroes. 1t doesn't say all
Gentiles.' 1t includes Jews. 1t doesn't say

Dramatic strides have been made to-

the true heroes. They risked their lives to
pass through bowling mobs that besieged
schools. Youths, Negro and white, sat pas
sively at food counters to assert the right
of all human beings to equal treatment.
PrOtestants, Catholics and Jews in some
instances shared reactionary views in the
South. In other cases, members of the
three faiths were "moderateS" and even

Boris Snolar:

THE ROAD for American Jews to send
their children to Israel for a period of two
years has now been opened by President
Kennedy through the formation of his
peace Corps" Youngsters over the age
of 18, boys as well as girls, can now ap-
ply and specify that they want to be sent
to Israel within the Peace Corps frame
work.
It is only natural that Jewish young
sters should choose Israel as the place
of their service, where they will definitely
be accepted with open arms. 1t is also in
the interest of the United States that
Jewish youngsters in the Peace Corps
should be stationed in Israel, since their
presence there will strongly cement the
friendly relations between the two coun-
tries.
American Zionist parents will hence
forth have no excuse for not sending their
children to Israel for year or two, since
sending youngsters for Peace Corps ser
vice abroad is now considered an act of
American patriotism.
If the sending of youngsters is part and
parcel of President Kennedys policy of
