conversations last month at
the United Nations between
Secretary of State Rusk and
his Soviet counterpart, Gro
myko, was revealed to them.
1t appears that through
out these talks Mr.. Rusk
showed an unexpected ca
gerness to discuss not only
Berlin but all questions per-
tanning to the complex Ger
man problem aid made many
suggestions. Mr.. Gromyko
kept his usual frozen face
and stood his ground. And
the more he did this, the
more eager Mr.. RuSk was to
offer new avenues of future
negotiations. And the more
he yielded ground the more
Mr.. Gromyko insisted on an
overall solution to the Euro
pean problems.
Mr.. Gromyko was particu-
larly inSiStent that there can
be no unity Of Germany un-
less the question of olsen
gagement in Central Europe
is agreed upon. This in fact,
said my informant, meant
the reduction of Germany's
forces to nothing more than
a police force.
The Kennedy Gromyko
talks which followed in
Washington were, according
to my source, much on the
same pattern. Mr.. Kennedy
insisted that the present Ber-
lin crisis must be settled in
keeping with the existing in
ternational agreements be-
fore anything else can be dis
cussed. But he left the door
open for negotiations to allay
the fear of Russia and her
satellites Of a strong Ger

destag and our Ambassador
to India, j. Kenneth Gal
braith, further increased the
apprehensions of the Ger
man government as to what
can be expected from the Sc
ries Of negotiations which are
about to begin. Mr.. Gal
braith was frank in telling
the German legislator that
America must stand firm on
the question of the lines of
communication and the free
dom Of Berlin but insofar as
the unity of Germany is con-
cerned there is no reason, he
said, why the United States
should risk a conflict, armed
or otherwise, with the Soviet
Union since Germany has
twice in this half-century
provoked world wars and got
all she deserved.
The Germans seem more
puzzled than ever at the re-
peated criticism of neo-Ger-
man militarism not only
from Moscow but also from
London and Washington.
Germany did not want to re-
arm after the last disastrous
war. 1t was in 1854 when she
Joined the NATO that we in
sisted on the creation of a
strong German force of $780,
600 men. This was not to the
taste of the rank and file
Germans because they were
doing very well economically
and did not want to spend
billions on rearmament.
This lack of enthusiasm
was severely criticized. The
Bonn government was ac-
cused of dragging its feet.
But now that the armies are
nearing completion, in keep
ing with the NATO demands,
there are loud cries from
Germany's allies that this
force may be used in a re-
vanchist war which may in
volve the United States.
All this makes no sense to
the realistic Bonn Govern
ment, which wonders who
wags the tail in London and
Washington.

Evils of Violence Found Slowly Forcing
Dixie Communities to Enforce the Law

later melted defiance of legal
processes. When it became
plain that violence was cost
ly and produced defeat, much
of the same leadership pro-
claimed: Its the law, but we
are not ready for it," Seem
ingly it does not occur to
them that the reason they
were not ready is a lack of
co-ordinated planning and
hard work by the more re-
sponsible elements of society
to become ready.
No community or State be-
comes ready for change with
out abandoning a negative
resistance and openly labor
ing to create mechaniSmS
and procedures to make pos
Sible the inevitable change.
This applies to Governors, to
Chambers of Commerce, to
mayors, councilmen, editors,
and the many civic organiza-
tionS.
Violence does not pay. 1t
destroys. A city or State
which persists in open, ugly
defiance. challenges tests of
law in which defeat is sure.
National consensus on the
side of peaceful processes of
law is the stronger because
of the violence. Mobs have
made it so. The constitution
al rights of citizens are per-
hapS more solid than before.
To see them even temporarily
yielded by mob action was a
shock. National opinion has
hardened.
Local feeling in McComb,
Birmingham and Mont
gomery has learned, as did
Little Rock, that it cannot
stand against the national
decision by the United States
Supreme Court, the district
and State courts. The State
courts, as that of Virginia
has recently demonstrated,
are now beginning to render
decisions which strengthen
the broader consensus. There
will be more of these deci-
sions, since they, too, are
bound by the constitutional

The people of the South,
in the increasing areas where

sometimes to their surprise,
that schoolroom classes are
not social gatherings" that
the right to vote and the ex-
ercise of it are routine, and
that even the business of

public activities of citizen

lence is a roadblock to get
ting on with the inevitable.
In McComb "the men down
town" made it possible for
the mayor to say: THE law
regarding our bus and rail-
road terminals is a Federal
law. We did not make it at
the local level, but it is our
purpose to enforce it. We are
determined to this end"
There will be violence here
and there - but there will be
less and less of it. Violence is
Self-defeating. That impor-
tant lesson at least has been

Those who at times en-
visage the United Nations as
a sort of superstate are get
ting considerable satisfac-
ton out Of the military oper-
alton Of the U.N. which
is supported by this country.
For there is an interven-
tion in the Congo's internal
affairs today with the eX-
cuse that the U. N. is obli-
gated to "restore order" when
requested to do so by a CEN
trail government involved in
that disorder.
Great Britain has been
reluctant to allow its bombs
to be shipped to the Congo
for the U. N. forces to use.
There have been a lot of
conferences held and euphe-
mistic statments issued con-
tending the U. N. is merely
fulfilling the request of the
Congolese government.
But the whole Congo is in
a state Of disorder and the
very request on which the
U. N. Is acting came from the
late Patrice Lumumba, who
was ousted and then assaSsi-
mated.
In the face of such a con-
fused situation, it seems hypo-
critical for the U. N. to claim
that it has a legal right to go
into the Congo. 1t may have
a paper record of such a re-
quest but it is ignoring the
will of a large bloc of people
in the Congo's richest prov
ince.
The present activities of the
U. N. are based on a resolu-
tion adopted by the Security
Council on February 81, 1861.

An angry, harassed and
enormously frustrated chief
of the small police force of

vided a revealing quote.

down town gave me hell" he
said, "for protecting the
Freedom Riders. I'm not for
them and I'm not for inte-
grafton" he explained, but
it's bad for the town to have
violence"
This lesson is one slowly,
sometimes painfully, learned.
But that the police chief felt
lonely and frustrated is un-
derstandable. In McComb, as
in the other areas of Missis-
sippi and the old cotton, or
Deep, South, the men down
town" - the newspapers, the
clergy and the political lead
ership - have merely passed
on to the mayor and chief
the order to uphold the proc
esses of law - not because
it's law, but because "it's bad
for business and the town"
to do otherwise.
Oliver Emmerich, editor Of
McComb's weekly paper, was
the major moral force. He,
too, is lonely. Even in Nc
Comb, the real people of the
town were not involved in the
violence. A lot of young and
middle-aged toughs have
been the active ones.
The police chief in Nc
Comb feels frustrated as he
is torn between his real
sentiments and what is bad
for the town." for a very good
reason. He has not had the
public support Of "the men
down town." nor of the poll
tical leadership of his State.
Gov. Barnett has not spoken.

If necessary what form of
government they should set
up has long been recognized
in democratic countries as
worthy. But toda,7, if the poll
tical alignmentS inside the

ernment against which a JUS
titled revolution might be di-
rected, then presumably the
entire military strength of
those U. N. members which
wish to contribute to such a
venture can be modified.
The United States is in a
rather difficult situation. If
the U. N. had been in ex-
istence in 1776 and the Brit
ish government had made
a formal request for military
help, maybe the American
Revolution wouldn't have sue

to choose their own form of
government has always been
supported by the United
States. 1t has never used
force openly at least-to as
sist any government suffering
from an internal disorder.
Wherever the United States
has interviewed in Latin
America, as a rule, 1t has
done so to protect the lives
and properties of American
citizens and not to interfere
with the right Of the people

the United States sent its

School people frequently talk

mean by it. When things come
along, children adapt quickly to
them; they take innovations in
their stride, frequently without
bothering to take long breath.

novel thing becomes the natural
one.

one that the painters came tc

Miss Mary White, and her chill
dren's experience may be con

First, everything but the very
largest bookcases had to be
moved out. There was an unused
room at Prospect which the class
was to use for the time being
and thither the students moved
everything that was movable
books, papers, maps, pictures
desks, chairs-everything but
the bookcases. The latter were
walked" by the painters into the
middle of the room, where they
were covered with drop cloths.
Then the painting began, and SO

Soon they were going about
their classwork as if they had
been using that room all year.
Some of their materials had been
transported in cartons, and some
Of these were unpacked and some
weren't; it depended upon whe-
ther the things in them were
needed at the time or not. But
their learning went right ahead
with scarcely a hitch.
Now they are back in their
orig ginal room, all freshly
painted. The shelves are still a
little too sticky to be stocked
for a few days, and the freshly
painted radiators exhude an in
teresting smell when they are
warmed up. Some needed mater
ials are in some box or other,
goodness knows which, or they
may still be back in the second
room, which is not completely
cleared out.
And you know what? If the
children think they may be able
to find the things they need back
IN their temporary quarters, they
tell their teacher they are going
back to "the old room" to look
for them! "The old room," in
