whose father had served as
a general in the United States
Army in the days when the
Philippines were lii Grated
from Spain. The people saw
also this week the same man
who was in command of
American and Philippine
forces in 1941 when Japanese
bombers drove them out. He
pledged then: II shall re-

Gen. Macarthur is 81 years
old and doubts that he will
ever see the Philippines again.
But the record of an Ameri-
can soldier who stood up
bravely under the most dis
couraging circumstances and
Steadfastly promised to res
cue the people of the Philip
pines will live long in the
memory Of all peoples in the
Far East. It is a record of
AmericaniSm-of courage, of
kindliness toward the citizens
of the Philippines, and of
wisdom in administering the
delicate task Of a military
occupation of Japan.
1t is always easy to speak
of what might have been.
Had Gen. MacArthur's ad-

to the bombing of the Red

Communists might never have

WILLIAM S. WHITE
A View of the True Heminqwoy

as well as the man who car
ried the gun, was a spokes-
man always for American
strength, never for American
weakness. True, he associated
sometimes with men and ideas
on the far left. But this
meant nothing; he was simply
observing, not believing. AL
ways he had a true belief in
democracy and in something
else which most of the writ
ers of his generation ridi-
culed as the flag-waving of
the hopeleSsly unsophisti-
Gated.
He believed, that is, in
Americanism; and was never
ashamed of it, either. His
death therefore takes away
much from American letters.
But it takes away more from
American policy; it takes
away an irreplaceable writer
who was pro rather than
anti-power in this world.

Ernest Hemingway'S last
farewell to arms, in the shot
guns blast that ended his
brilliant and tortured career,
is a. loss to this country'S
public policy, quite as much
as to its literature.
For he was more than a
great novelist. He was also
one writer of intellect and
talent who Scorned to seek
fame by slandering his coun-
try's motives or by weaken
ing his country'S will to fight
for justice and honor.
To the end, unlike those
writers who reached ma
turity in the 1930s, by forever
whining social protest." he
remained a Staunch force
against the creeping pacifism,
the ideology-shouting of much
of American letters which, un-
Willingly for the most part,
was helping to build up the
Communist menace.
He remained a man not
ashamed of our national
power and not afraid to see
it used, openly and honorably,
against totalitarian aggres-
Sors everywhere.
His critics said of him that
Ernest was always trying to
prove something" in his zest
for combat. They implied that
he was only trying to prove"
that he himself was unafraid;
that he was fighting doubts
about himself.
I am surely no pSychoana-
lySt-nor were Hemingway's
critics, few of whom had ever
smelled cordite or heard a
gun fired in anger. But I
did slightly know that big,
compassionate, brave and
reckless man when we and
many others were assault war
correspondents with various
elements of the United States
1st Army in Normandy and
beyond II years ago now.
Hemingway'S fondness for
and loyalty toward "his" own
division, the 4th Infantry,
were the talk of the front. 1t
meant more to him than his
work-and also, I should say,
his life. He was then writ
ing magazine pieces at some
fabulous fee. Sometimes, over

DAVID LAWRENCE

OF all the rowing ambas-
sadors who have gone abroad,
none has produced so pro-
found and useful an impress
sion in behalf of the United
States as has Gen. Douglas
Macarthur this week in the
Philippines.
"a sentimental journey" is
what the retired commander
Of Americas Armed Forces
in the Far East during World
War II called his trip on
the occasion of the 18th an
niversary of Philippine inde-
pendence. The outpouring
of millions of emotion-fil
citizens of the Philippines
proved that the ties between
the two countries are stronger
than ever. This was a trib-
ute to america as well as
to its "old soldier"
The example to the world
is a significant one. For it
was the United States which,
over a period of years, helped
to educate and train a whole
generation of leaders for the
new republic. No better
illustration of how to deal
with "colonialism" could be
given in the modern world.
It contrasts with the failure
of various European nations
to train their colonies in
Africa for self-government.
What a travesty on fair play
that the United States, which
liberated first Cuba and then
the Philippines, should still
be chaStised as "imperialiS-
tic" by certain orators and
organs in Latin America!
Gen. MacArthur's trip,
therefore, is a timely re-
minder Of the record of the
United States, which sacri-
feed the lives of many of
it's soldiers to secure the free
dom Of both the Philippines
and Cuba following the Span
ish-American War in 1898.

counsel and careful handling

Work is expected to start in
September on the long-pending
$168 million Volta River hydro
electric project in Ghana with
new assurances by President
Kennedy of United States
financial support.
A Ghana Embassy spokes-
man today confirmed that Mr..
Kennedy sent personal mes
sage to Ghana President
Kwame Nkrumah Friday recog-
nizing the need of new African
nations for economic. develop
ment and pledging United
States aid specifically for the
Volta project.
A reply from Mr.. Nkrumah
is now being awaited, the
spokesman said.
Soviet Submits Report
The Kennedy note was de-
livered on the eve of Ghana's
independence day, July l.,
shortly before Mr.. Nkrumah's
scheduled departure this week
for Moscow.
The Soviet Union has given
the Ghana government an en-
gineering report on the con-
struction of a smaller dam at
Bui on the Black Volta River.
The Soviet offer, involving
the ruble equivalent of about
$75 million, is under considera-
tion by the Ghana government.
Sources indicated Mr.. Ken
nedy wanted Mr.. Nkrumah to
have the personal assurance of
United States support before he
visited Moscow. But there was
no expectation that the SovietS
were attempting to out-bid the
United States, the World Bank
and Britain on the $168-million
project.
3 U. S. Firms Involved
The World Bank is expected
to put up $40 million of the
cost. the United States $50 mil
lion, and Britain $14 million,
while Ghana itself will supply
S84 million.

He was not merely a war

He violated the rules by go

Exi|es Return,
Test Promise

CIUDAD TRUJILLO, Do
minican Republic, July 5 (AP)
Three Dominican exiles ar
rived today from Puerto Rico
and said they returned to CON
tribute to the birth and con-
Solidation of democracy in the
Dominican Republic"
They came to test President
Joaquin Balaguer's promise
that political opposition will be
welcome in this country for
the first time in 80 years and
were met on arrival by a presi-
dental representative who as
sured them they have the full
freedom of the country.
The three, who fled the
Dominican Republic during the
rule of Generalissimo Rafael L.
Trujillo, are Angel Miolan,
Nicholas Silfa and Ramon A.
Castillo of the Dominican
Revolutionary Party.
Guarantees Given
Despite SkepticiSm among
other exiles living here, the
three said they received a seven
point guarantee of safety while
they attempt to organize op-
position in the repblic to the
dominant Dominican Party.
The guarantee, they said, in
cluded amnesty of 9O-year
prison terms hanging over
their heads, freedom of speech
and movement and the right
to communicate with their
party president. Juan Borsch,
who lives in Costa Rica.
Before leaving, the three said
they noted a liberalizing trend
in the republic since the gen.
eralisSirno was assasSinated on
May 80. Many observers here
felt that, if they succeed on
their mission, hundreds of Do
minicans who fled the republic
during three decades Of Tru-
jillo's rule might begin to re-
turn.
Meetings Planned

jailed 7 exile Strikers
Win Reduced Terms

RALEIGH, N. c., July 5
(AP).-Gov. Terry Sanford has
reduced prison sentences of
seven textile union men serv-
ing long terms as an outgrowth
of a bitter textile strike at Hen
derSon.
The Governors action, taken
yesterday, made four of the
seven men eligible for parole
Immediately. Three others,
including Boyd E. Payton,
CarolinaS director of the Tex
tile Workers Union of Amer
lea (AFL-CIO), will be eligible
for parole later this summer.
The Governors office pointed
out that paroles are issued by
the State Paroles Board and
that the board will consider
the cases.
Issuance of paroles is more
or less routine for prisoners
once they become eligible, pro-
vided their prison records are
good, they are assured of en-
ployment upon their release,
and if the Paroles Board con-
siderS them good subjects for
parole.
Clemency Granted
The Governors announce
ment came in a statement in
which he said he has signed
orders granting executive clem-
ency of some form to 90 priS-
onerS.
Il have reduced the sentences
of seven of the men involved in
the Henderson strike by three
years EACH" he said. "Thus
four are eligible for parole i'm
mediately and (Charles) Aus
lander, Payton and Gawrence)
Gore will be eligible for parole
later this summer"
Evening star., 1961-07-05

The four made eligible for
parole consideration immedi-
ately are Warren Walker, john
ME Martin, Edward Abbott and
Calvin Pegram.
An eighth man, Malcolm jar
rell, was paroled about three
months ago. He received a q
to-3 year sentence.
Payton, Auslander and Gore
each received 6 to 10 years.
The other four received S to 7
years.
Under State law, prisoners
may not be considered for parole
until they have served one
fourth their minimum sentence.
Without the Governors ac-
ton in reducing their terms the
seven men would not have been
eligible for parole until next
year.
Accused of Conspiracy
All eight men in the case en-
tered prison last November 8
after a long, fruitless court bat
tie to avoid the sentences they
received in July, 1859. They
were charged with conspiring
to destroy facilities at the Har-
riet-H Henderson cotton mills.
The alleged conspiracy was
thwarted by State Bureau of
Investigation agents and it was
never carried out.
The strike at the mills be-
gan in the fall of 1858. It
reached a climax Of violence
during the following spring,
necessitating the calling out of
National Guardsmen at one
time.
The mills, using non-strikers,
returned to full production
during 1859, but the strike was
not ended officially until a few
weeks ago.
