CIVIL RIGHTS -.
was ideal, that it could be de-
veloped economically, and would
make a fine, safe beach. The COM
mittee realized that the issue was
a political football, a hot potato,
but we made our decision accord
in to our best judgment, and re-
CARELESS of politics, he said.
"The judge emphasized that the
decision was arrived at despite
pressure exerted by members of
the segregated clubs to have the
beach for the public located else
where.
Judge Moore disclosed that
Atty. Warren Young of st. Croix,
who apparently represented the
clubs, had called him by telephone
and had spoken to him for more
than an hour, declaring that the
legislature should not adopt the
anti discrimination, bill until the
Human Relations Committee APP
pointed by the Governor could
meet and pass upon the bill.
Judge Moore said that he told
Young he would not try to use
any influence on the legislature to
hold up the bill. And then he
warned that if the legislature did
not act now On strong and etfec-
tive civil rights legislation that
within Is years all that ST. Croix
would have is a class who owned
the land and a servant native
class, ~subservient, segregated and
second-class.
"The Judge, who wrote the anti
discrimination law, now on the
statute books, declared that mem
bers of the segregated clubs insist
that the clubs are open to the
nice people Of st. Croix." But
not one of the Negro governors,
not one Of the Negro Federal
judges was ever invited as a guest
or as a member of any of the
clubs. Nor have any Negro St,
Croix administrators or Negro le-
gislators been nice enough to OBJ
tain membership, he pointed out.
Judge Moore declared that
there were many white people In
ST. Croix who refused to join the
segregated clubs, because, he de-
clared, you must either condemn
or condone the practice. There is
no battle-ground.

Washington in Inauguration Time

may be seen as Q man Of
adult mind and muscle stand
ing with his eyes gravely upon
the future Of q whole peo-
pie, q whole Nation. and half
a world.
It is only on these rare
occasions of a Presidential
Inauguration that we can
see plainly the rich mixture
Of our country-its possibly
bad" and certainly crude
side; its undoubtedly good
and profoundly responsible,
side, that side which. ias the
old saying truthfully goes,
is after all the hope Of this
earth.
We ought, then, to sense
the depth of our good for
tune, as well as the weight
Of our obligations and the
sharpness Of our problems.
For the great changing Of
the guard-farewell to Eisen-
hover, hail to Kennedy
goes forward with q lofty
essential decency which
nothing can obscure. The old
President exits with honor
and the peoples affection;
the new President enters

pies hopes and good will.

most decent and sensible
members Of Congress believe
that many II not all such
remedies do not fit the
stormy present or the con-
ditions which dictate an
economy very largely built
on enormous defense spend

Yet they are unwilling to
sponsor major innovation,
much Ass repeal of present
laws. The boldest step Of
this kind was taken by Ken
nedy Adviser James M.
Lands, the new overseer Of
the regulatory agencies.
Mr.. Lands, q veteran Of

designate was surprised at
the emphasis put by Senator'S
on his private interests rather
than his qualifications for
public service, he gave no
sign Of it,. Obediently. even
affably, he followed their
lead and tried to allay their
miSgivings.

left after q few months to
join Mr.. Kennedy. The Sen
ate hearing clearly showed
the competency advertised by
his record. The Pentagon
goldfish bowl soon will dis
play the next chapters. and
Washington has learned to
be wary Of prediction in mat
ters Of this kind.
One Of the least successful
Defense Secretaries and also
one Of the most likable, Neil
McElroy. made a brilliant i'm
preston at hearings on his
confirmation. It appeared
that not only would he do a
good JOB at the Pentagon but
might prove a Republican po-
litical star worthy Of national
consideration. Nothing Of the
kind happened and Mr.. Nc
Elroy has sensibly returned to
a brilliant career in the soap
business.
It was not possible at the
Mcnamara hearing to CLEAN
any clues to his qualifications
as a political figure. The
press thought 1t detected a
mild disinterest in whether a
free flow Of public informa-
ton would be forthcoming
from his regime. This is i'm
portant whether or not 1t is

philosophy. for his biggest
source Of power is public
opinion and c.3.y jle can form
1t in his own image.

In hts initial public bow
IN Washington, President
elect Kennedy's Secretary
Of Defense. Robert S. Nc
Namara, amply proved his
right to membership in what
is planned as q cool. calm
and collected administration.
He was all business and
so, indeed. were the Senators
Of the Armed Services Com
mittee. They had obviously
made up their minds that If
Mr.. Kennedy thought him
qualified, that ended it. What
they pressed on him was that
he must avoid a conflict of
interest between the opera
tions Of his SIS million trust
fund and his power over de-
tense contracts.
without being at all con-
tentious, Mr.. McNamara felt
he had provided against such
danger. The Senators were
not so sure, but most Of them
gave the impression that
: they were doing their own
public relations duty in this
field. rather than being en-
gagged in q clean government
crusade.
These attitudes suggest
something Of the present
climate here. Very rarely
does anyone suggest an emo
tional commitment to regu-
latory and reform legislation

ment and q large arms in
dustry is new in the Amer
ican experience. The total
influence-economic, politi-
cal, even spiritual-is felt in
every city, every state house,
every office of the Federal
Government. We recognize
the imperative need for this
development. Yet we must
not fail to comprehend its
grave implications. Our toll,
resources and livelihood are
all involved: so is the very
structure Of our society.
I'm the councils Of govern
ment, we must guard against
the acquisition Of unwar-
ranted influence, whether
sought or unsought, by the
military-industrial complex.
The potential for the dis
astrous rise Of misplaced
power exists and will persist.
We must never let the weight
Of this combination endanger
our liberties or democratic
processes.
One wonders to what ex-
tent these thoughts were
prompted by the overem-
phasis given the missile gap"
in the public prints and the
effort of some members of
Congress to make political
capital out of the defense
problem and foreign policy.

not say all is rosy. He ex-

progress on disarmament has
not been greater. He speaks
Of the tragedy Of war as a
military man who has wit
messed its horrors. He con-
cludes wistfully::'

President Else n hower's
farewell address to the Ma
ton and the world is q mas
terful expression Of Ameri-
can purpose. It is also o his
toric message Of advice to
succeeding generations.
With no trace Of rancor
or Ill will toward anybody,
and with good wishes to his
successor, Mr.. Eisenhower
made some penetrating sug-
geStions. For here speaks a
man who has spent eight
years struggling with the
pressures Of various groups.
He warns especially against
a "military-industrial COM
plex" and the danger of de-
veloping q "scientific-tech-
biological elite" with too
much influence on public
policy.
The central theme Of the
speech could perhaps best
be described as a call for
balance" as opposed to err
ratio digressions in behalf
Of goals that seem desirable
but must be viewed in per-
spective. He says:
"Crises there will continue
to be: In meeting them,
whether foreign or domestic,
great or small, there is a re-
curing temptation to feel
that some spectacular and
costly action could become
the miraculous solution to all
current difficulties. A huge
increase in newer elements Of
our defense; development of
unrealistic programs to cure
every Ill in agriculture; q
dramatic expansion in basic
and applied research-these
and many other possibilities,
each possibly promising in
itself. may be suggested as
the only way to the road we
wish to travel.
But each proposal must
be weighed in the light of a
broader consideration: The
need to maintain balance in
and among national pro-
grams-balance between the
private and the public econ

and hoped-for advantage;

There is an aroma Of
lavendar and old lace about
some Of the mail. One thinks
of flowers pressed in albums,
Of old musty parlors with
stereoptican views on the
table: Of juleps stirred with
a silver spoon, and q pastoral
peacefulness.
4. This is what makes such
letters 60 50 straight to the
heart. This mail Of which I
write Is not the vulgar "go
to hell" sort. It is that which
comes mostly from old per-
sons, shaken by the events Of
the present, unused to the
consequences of ideas and
events.
Like this. for example,
taken directly from q letter:
II remember my father
telling me about how we'll

happy they were and how
slave owners had been
.slandered by the, abolition
lists. I am sure our South is
Just the same today. We wish
to treat these people we'll"
This letter and It's con-
tents are utterly irrelevant.
There are an astonishing
number which express the
same thought. One can see
the gentle. decent, troubled
lady who writes. Events have
passed her by. She recalls a
comfortable past, a loving
father and the things he told
her. That what she says is
entirely without meaning or
