Mystery of the Tunision Attack

British Foreign Secretary. In
a speech Saturday night in
London, he said:
Nero fiddled while Rome
burned. What are we doing
while the Communists openly
plot to bring us down? For it
is the creed of the Commu-
nists, which they repeat and
practice every hour Of the
day, that, kept under constant
and unrelenting pressure, our
way Of life will collapse from
within because it will lose in
spiration and the will to sur
vive. The first necessity for
our people is to awake to the
nature of the challenge. It is
by way of the cold war to
attack.
For instance, a notable
victory for the Communists
would be to turn our young
generation into unilateralists
e.. Russia and China would
not shed a weapon, but we
should have shed any pos
sibility of independent ac-
ton. Is that the status which
our young people wish for
their country? And yet are
they equipped with knowl-
edge, argument and counter
attack so that they may turn
the tables on the propagan-
dists who are planted and
paid and extremely well in
formed?"
The "unilateralist" doctrine
to which Lord Home refers is
the tendency by some per-
sons inside the West to urge
that concessions be made to
Russia on the theory that. in
return, the Communists will
voluntarily give up their ag-
greSsive tactics. America, for
example, suspended nuclear
tests, but there has been no
way of knowing whether this
was one-sided or two-sided,
as the Soviets never allow any
inspection.
Europeans are waking up
to Com muniSt intrigue,
whether it is in the Congo
or in Laos or in Cuba OR in
TuniSia. The latest exploit in
TuniSia-where an important
naval base that could be use
full to NATO if war broke
out is at Stake-can hardly
be explained as a spontaneous
bit Of recklessness by so in
telligent a man as President
Bourguiba.

Gone Pone Statesmen Raped for Stand

so few Negroes have been

they have not sought to reg

Nor is it merely the Negro

Van Woodward, a native Of
Arkansas and for at least
two decades one of the Ma

recently on the deplorable
state of voting in the South.
Speaking in Arkansas he

problems involved are little
discussed. Not even a vol
untary organization of the
church members of the en-
battled city has arisen so far
to help out.
Southerners will doubtless
make bitter note that this is
in the North, where the eS-
Sential immortality of segre-
cation gets so much atten-
tion.
Some Republicans believe
they can make Newburgh an
effective political issue in
next years campaign. This
is doubtful; it would hurt too
much in too many areas If an
attempt were made to make
it a party issue. It is this
sober second thought which
is leading Goldwater's friends
to urge him to back away.
The New York Times ex-
presses the belief that New
burgh has overstated its well
fare problem. A recheck of
the situation some months
from now is clearly indicated.
The Kennedy administra-
tion is not commenting other
than to state that Newburgh
and other New York cities
have long had the right to
put able-bodied relief re-
cipients to work as long as
Federal funds are not in
volved.

So much has been said of

is some danger we may be
Understanding our own

The sober, realistic facts
are that there is also a thing
called American strength and
another thing called Ameri-
can purpose-and that both
are rising.
Only the witleSsly laugh
happy would suggest that all
is simply peachy in this large
and decisive American corner
of the free Western world.
But it needs no professional
optimism to look out upon
the current scene and find
a certain careful but per-
siStent cheerfulness break
ing through.
The items on the debit
side of the ledger are all too
we'll known. There is the fact
that the United States
Government as leader of the
free world must cajole and
argue with its public and
allies. whereas Nikita Khru-
shchev can do what and how
he pleases when he pleases
without consulting anybody.
His greater freedom of ma
neuver in the Berlin crisis
is an advantage which no
amount of theorizing can
wave away.
There is the fact that the
United States does not
threaten, will not threaten
and is in the position, if
worse should come to worst,
of having to give the enemy
opportunity for the first
blow.
And there are all those
other well-advertised factors:

Rural misrepresentation,

All the same, the credit

A Southern Congressman
recently was heard in severe
criticism of the Attorney
General for what was de-
scribed as interference in the
affairs of the Representa-
tive's State in the matter of
voting rights for qualified
Negro citizens. At the same
time the Government was
feeding a high proportion of
this gentleman's destitute
constituents and he was, in
his own district, taking credit
for the same.
This latter Federal activity
was not classified as inter-
ference. This typical ambi-
dextrousness of those identi-
fled here as "cone pone
statesmen" caused a veteran
Washington correspondent to
remember a comment by the
late Sir Wilmott Lewis, for
80 years the Washington rep
resentative of the London
Times:
"In fairness to Senator
Bilbo," said Sir Wilmott,
"it must be said that he has
the unique distinction of
combining in his sole person
the sum total Of all the dis
advantages attaching to the
democratic form of govern
ment."
In the Nations Capital
one is almost daily reminded
of this stereotype represen-
tation which some Southern
States are receiving. The
tragedy of some of these
Congressman is that they
know better and suffer a
sort of spiritual dying. The
tragedy of others is that
they do not know any better.
That the right to cast a

The tragedy of Tunisia is
not just an episode in the
relations Of two countries. 1t
is worldwide in its Signifi-
canoe. For it means that pas
sion and not reason still is
the ruling motivation in in
ternational disputes.
Frenchmen and Tunisians
lie dead today, their families
in mourning, just because the
President of TuniSia was i'm
patient and couldn't wait to
invoke the orderly processes
of the United Nations. In
stead, these now become a
procedure of autopsy to de-
termine blame rather than a
means of preventing blood
shed that has already oc-
CURED.
There is debate going on
now as to where the respon-
sibility for the attack on
French troops shall be placed.
Each side will insist it had
legal rights under inter-
national law-the French to
protect a base granted by
treaty, and the Tunisians to
order a foreign contingent to
evacuate its sovereign terri
tory when negotiations to
effect a change in an existing
agreement had stalled.
But impatience to get an
agreement signed is not a
justification nowadays for
any nation to start a bloody
conflict. World opinion has
favored the use instead of
the United Nations tribunals
to bring about a settlement
by peaceful means of all
questions in dispute.
Press opinion in Europe is
cautious and restrained. For
Tunisia has been a friend of
the West. But says the Lon
don Times:
President Bourguiba. a.
hitherto respected in the
West as a moderate nation
aliSt leader in the new Africa,
cannot expect much SYM
pathy for his latest conduct
over Bizerte. He can juSti-

been in this matter, there was
no excuse for Tunisia precip-
itating things to the point
where a clash was newt
able.
Does Mr.. Bourguiba seek
to show that, like the
Algerian nationalists whose
rivalry he fears, he can also
employ force to get what he
wants from Paris? Is he at
tempting to cover up his
designs on the Sahara
which run counter to both
the French and the Algerian
claims-with an exhibition
of strength over Bizerte? Or
did events pass beyond his
control?"
Back of all this is an un-
explained mystery. Why does
a friend of the West suddenly
go berserk in diplomacy?
What influences are behind
it? Certainly the stakes are
high, as control of Saharan
oil and pipelines to the
Mediterranean comprise q
valuable and important asset.
Could it be that Mr.. Bourg-
uiba has decided, as have
other African leaders, to
"play both ends against the
middle?"
Evidence of Soviet infil-
tration in situations of this
kind unfortunately is never
made available by Moscow,
but the circumstantial facts
are indeed suspicious. Some
day there may even be a
similar strategy pursued by
Castro, inStigated by the.
Communists, in a possible at
tack on the Guantanamo
naval base which would force
the issue into the United
Nations.
For the Tunisian affair is
not an isolated incident. It
fits into a Communist pat
tern. Already the Tunisians
are being hailed as heroes
by the Communist press, and
in some of the "neutralist"
countries, too, the propaganda

Eichmann declared.
But Judge Landau forced
Eichmann to admit he received
and carried out instructions to
omit from the minutes of the
notorious WannSee conference
that it discussed ways in which
the Jews were to be killed.
Judge Landau also forced
Eichmann to acknowledge he
was an avid reader of Nazi
Propaganda Minister Joseph
GoebbelS' violently anti-Semitic
newspaper Volkischer Beobach-
ter.
II did not read the paper
avidly," Eichmann admitted,
"but, as for my inner attitude
on anti-Semitism in the paper,
I did not care about these
things. I read the paper be-
cause it was the only way we
could get the news we needed"
Judge Landau asked Eich-
mann how he looked on the
1886 Nurnberg racial laws
which decreed that Jews be
cleared from the Reich.
II felt that nothing is as bad
as it appears" Eichmann said.
MY attitude was that these
things would not be carried
out. We thought that when it
came to implementation, these
things would not be carried
out"
Known for Accuracy
The presiding Judge asked
Eichmann why, if he was such
a small and insignificant cog
in the Gestapo apparatus, he
was not transferred.
LAS a high-ranking officer
in the Gestapo, you should
have been glad to take the
initiative, to make decisions. To
be hard and strict, is that cor
rect?" Judge Landau asked.
"Well, I could be stern to-
ward myself but not to Others"
Eichmann said. "I was known
for discipline and obedience.
My chief, (SS Gen. Heinrich)
Mueller was also known for
these things. I felt he was a
counterpart. I was known for
my accuracy and that is why
I was valuable"
The conclusion of Eich-
mann'S direct testimon y
marked the final stage of the
so-called ease in chief"
The next phase, expected
after a weeks recess, will be
