Harvest of Shame

William S. Whites article
entitled Harvest Of Shame
in Africa" which appeared in
your November II issue is a
refreshing voice to be raised
by an American newspaper
man who refuses to "ac-
quieSce by silence" in the
American Governments len
iency toward perpetrators of
savage crimes If they happen
to belong to and are excused
or backed by a new African
nation or revolutionary party.
The recent filthy butchery of
13 Italian airmen in the Con-
go is merely an addition to
a long list Of such fiendish-
ness resorted to in Kenya,
Algeria and other places -
all of which strongly tends to
prove that such areas are not
ready to take their places in
the society of nations.
There is such a thing as
good colonialiSm" which in
the light Of history has some
times proved to be necessary
to the moral and economic
elevation Of peoples. If we
deny this we should perhaps
all pack up and go back to
Europe.

In his column, Harvest of
Shame in Africa" william S.
White puts the blame where
it belongS-on the screech-
ing liberals" Our U. N. am
baSSador's speech, reported
in the same edition, gives lit
tie hope, though, that we will
return to a common sense
policy in this administration.
Apparently our answer to the
Kindu massacre by Central
CongoleSe troops" is to help
crush Katanga, the only place
in the Congo that has kept
any order at all. What a Sor-
ry spectacle this country is
making of itself with its
wishy-waShy behavior!
Violet Palmer.
Il
I am in complete agree
ment with william S. White.
To dignity the so-called
CongoleSe Republic with a
seat in the United Nations
represents the ultimate tri-
umph of clustered liberalism
in this country and others.
There was a time when a
self-respecting European ma
tion-Uncle Sam, would
have sent a force to avenge
their nationals with far less
provocation than that pre-
sented by the massacre of
those Italian airmen.
We Americans are prone to
do a tremendous amount of
breast beating over world
opinion we even worry
about African opinion. Real
ly, the old world hasn't
changed so much. The only
thing truly respected is pow
er. If those happy warriors
in the Congo had any sus-
picion that their acts would
have been followed by bloody
retribution swift and sure
there would have been no
massacre.
Are the nations of the
world so indifferent to the
fate of their citizens, or so
afraid of that slob in the
Kremlin that they are afraid
to act? The meek may in
herit the earth, but their
portion will probably be lin
tied to that which measures
roughly 3'x6'x6..

THE POLITICAL MILL
By GOULD LINCOLN
COP. Hopes to Be Thankful in ~

Thanksgiving Day finds the
Democrats with cups of joy
running over, and the Repub-
licans scratching for crumbs.
The g. o. P, however, is
looking to a Thanksgiving
next year after the congress
sional and gubernatorial elec-
tions. The party leaders
believe they will be able to
reverse the trend in congress
sional elections which began
back in 1913 when the Re-
publicans lost a net of rs
House seats to the Democrats.
They believe they must make
great gains in the House
elections in 1862 and some in
the Senate If the party is to
have any hope of winning the
Presidency in 1864. In fact,
it may be necessary for the
G. o. P. to carry the House
over the DemocratS-and that
is the aim of both Republican
National Chairman William
E. Miller, a Congressman
from New York. and Repub-
lican Congressional Chair
man Bob Wilson of Cali
fornia.
See G. o. p. Trend
They both think there is
a grasS-roots sentiment going
their way. They believe many
of the American people are
fed up with high taxes
which may go higher. both
Federal and State-and with
a Democratic Party which is
backing a big spending pro-
gram advanced by the Ken
nedy administration. They
believe, too, that voters view
with a critical eye gains
which have been made by the
Communists in the cold war,
particularly in Cuba and
other parts of Latin America,
where the United States is
looked on as "the party of
the rich and special interests"
in international affairs-the
same kind of label as that
with which the Democrats
have Smeared the G.. o. P.
Obviously, there will have
to be a strong sentiment
going their way if the Repub-
licans are to attain their
goal. AS the makeup of the
House of Representatives
stands today, the Republicans
must make a net gain of A
seats in the coming elections
if they are to have a bare
majority in that body. It is a
CLANCY business in any mans
language. @. o. P. victory
may hinge on failure Of
Illinois and Pennsylvania to
rediStrict in accordance with
their allotments under the
1860 census. Illinois loses one
congressional district and
Pennsylvania three. If they
do not redistrict, all House
candidates must run at-large
that is, in State wide
elections.
Republicans feel that in
such races they could pick
up virtually all the House
seats now held by Democrats
in both States. This would
reduce the number Of seats
which the Republicans must
wrest from the Democrats
from A to 20-and put them
within striking distance of
winning a majority in the
House.
The Illinois legislature has
been working on the problem
Of redistricting for a month
without getting anywhere.
The Republicans control the
State Senate and the Demo-
Gratis the House, and there
is a Democratic Governor.
The struggle has been over
whether Chicago, a Demo-
cratic stronghold, shall lose
one congressional district, or
the loss shall be "downstate,"
which is generally Republi-
cam
1t has been a bitter battle.

a two-thirds vote in the leg
islature to put through q
rediStricting law in a special
session.
Democratic Gov. Dave
Lawrence has not yet called
the Pennsylvania legislature
into special session to deal
with the congressional re-
districting, presumably be-
cause he is seeking to gain
enough votes to save the
congressional districts in
Philadelphia, another Demo-
cratic stronghold. In Pennsyl-
vania, too, the parties divide
the legislative bodies, with a
Democratic House and Is
Republicans and Is Demo-
Gratis in the Senate. The
Republicans showed in
creased strength in the elec-
tions in municipalities, and
won the only Statewide con-
teSt-for a judge-early this
month. In Illinois, the filing
date for congressional candi-
dates comes in January; in
Pennsylvania, in March.
Republican Congressmen
from both States may not
relish the task of running
at-large, particularly If they
come from safe" districts,
any more than do the Demo-
cratic Congressman. They
didn't in California, where
the Democratic legislature
and Gov. Pat Brown forced
through a redistricting plan
(the State gains eight House
seats), which almost assures
the Democrats victories in
the new districts.
The Republicans are plan
ming a big drive to win more
House seats in the solid
South"-aiming to gain eight
seats in this traditionally
Democratic area. They claim
to be virtually sure of gain
ing two seats in Florida,
where they already have one,
under the redistricting which
gives Florida four more con-
gressional districts. They
hope to pick up one or two
in Texas, where they now
have one, and to add another
in North Carolina, where they
have one. They will try hard
to win a third House seat
in Virginia-the old 9Th Dis
trict, which at one time the
Republicans held.
Areas Of Hope
Other places in which the
G. o. P. hopes to gain House
seats from the Democrats are
topped by New York, where
they believe they will pick
up five districts under the
new rediStricting law. They
look to Ohio for a gain Of
two or three, to Utah for one
or two, to Arizona for one,
to Connecticut for three, to
Delaware for one, to Hawaii
for one, to Michigan for one
running at-large, to Kentucky
for one (in Louisville), to
Indiana for two or three, to
Idaho for one, to Wisconsin
for one and possibly one in
Alaska.
Inc Republicans, OF course,
are putting their best foot
forward in making these
claims. But they recall the
fact they made net gain of
21 seats in the House while
President Kennedy was win
ming over former Vice Presi-
dent Nixon last year. In the
off-year elections-when a
presidential race is not on
the party in the White House
almost invariably has lost
congressional strength. The
Kennedy Democrats insist to-
day, however, that they
are gaining - not losing =
strength. as shown by their
recent election Of a Demo
cratic Governor in New Jer-
Sey. a Mayor of New York
and a Congressman in the
San Antonio district of Texas.

FRANKLY SPEAKING
By FRANK SMALL

| Most people like to believe that
what they are reading in the news
papers is not fiction. Most news writ
ers take exceptional pains to see that
it is not fiction. Then, of course,
there are the ones who make their
little fictions seem like news.
When Sam Gillully, the editor of
the MONTANA CITIZEN, a sheet
wholly subsidized by the unholy
Chamber of Commerce, introduced

was scolded as being the garbage
collector at the Capitol. The point
of the two weeks ago column was
chemical industriahzation of the
state. But then maybe it is a fiction
that the old goat running the Citizen
can read. Yo, Ho-Ho and bottle of
rum.
The freedom of the press is an
absolute constitutional guarantee. The
press is power which can make gov
ernmental policy as was demonstrated
at this weeks Highway Commission
meeting.

mission in a saloon Monday night and
gave them the old what-for by mouth.
The meeting of the Highway
Commission will be open to the
press and all persons after nine
o'clock in the morning hereafter.
This policy came about because of
a furry of stories about the secret
processes used to conduct public
business.
Other segments are due for an
education in the policy-making func-
tions of the Helena pressmen who
usually prefer to remain as neutral
as the woodwork but can if they SO
desire send the Queens scurrying up
the chandeliers by assuming rat
anticipating-cheese style of journal
ism.
The secret committee or secret sub
committee style of government as
practiced by the Board of Education
is the next most likely target to fall
before the 'newshounds' ire. Per-
haps the old runsaround used in some
offices as standard procedure will
be gated first. Who knows-the press
shall remain free, however.
Exposure by the press is no idle
threat and its use can not be COM
planned about by any official because
they are as dependent upon the press
as the ordinary reader is.
The oft repeated request to be off
when officials are in the
presence of the press is also a form
of censorship which is so out of style
with modern news readers that it is
doubtful as to whether the press
on the beat can con-
5inue to extend this consideration to
AK paid officialdom.
