graduates were warned they will
reed to be very aware of the re-
alities of power and greed in the
shaping Of their destiny in j.
Harvey Wilkinson, Jr's COM
mencement a d DIRE S Monday
morning.
The president of State Planters
Bank of Commerce and Trusts,
of Richmond, was the speaker
for the colleges 135th commence
ment exercises.
Speaking on Survival The
Offspring of Realism. Wilkinson
referred to power and greed as
two of mans greatest individual
drives and tied them in with the
struggle among nations.
In the struggle among nations
which is so vital to our survival
in America and to the survival
of the western world, the impor-
lance of capital formation by and
for the use of the underdevel-
oped countries will be a key fac
tor in the struggle for their
minds and hearts between the
Communist society and Demo-
cratic society" wilkinson said.
East-West Conflict
The. speaker elaborated on the
conflict between the East and the
West. 1T is a brutal fact that one
great segment of the group, the
western world, is in imminent
danger" he said of the world
community.
THE people in the democrat
cies demand, in tragic irony. that
the central state which they,
through a compact of the states,
created continue to pamper and
feed them. and the majority of
the statesmen elected by these
people appear to feel that their
mirror function of rejecting the
desires of thes electorate is more
important than their leadership
function which is to set the ira
jectory Of our national course
and to clear the vision of their
constituents
Wilkinson told the graduates
that if they are made of "the
stern stuff that can turn dreams
into reality" they will need to be
aware of the forces of greed and
power and much more.
1T is necessary for man today
to reshape the image of himself
and to ponder deeply his re-
lationship to his God and to the
world Of which he is part"
the speaker declared.
Single Challenge
His single challenge to the
graduates was ito become citl-
zens of the world, first in your
mind and spirit =" Wilkinson
said he believed that to be the
great necessity of the generation.
However, he specified that he
was not referring to political
union.
Man needs cause. The Rus
SLAMS are devoted to Mother
Russia. but the Communists have
, zeal and a dedication to the
cause of Communism that must
oe more than matched in lnten-
slty BY the people Of the West

Save These Remnants

There are remnants of the ditched
Federal aid to- education legislation
which most certainly should be Salvaged
at this session of Congress. Caught in
the Wreckage of the Administrations
general-aid program were two proposals
not involved in the main controversy
over Federal financial help to schools.
These were the plan to continue aid to
areas affected by the impact of Govern
ment expansion and the provision for
a one-year extension of the $90-million
loans-to-students system. Neither of
these programs should have been
dragged into the congressional squabble
over new aid policies, for both had been
approved by Congress in the past and
both are still meritorious
Congress can save these pieces of
legislation by taking them up separately.
The investment required by aid to i'm
pacted areas and by the Student-loan
program would produce good academic
dividends-and the impact" aid would
ease the educational burdens imposed
by governmental growth on such COM
munitieS as those in nearby Maryland
and Virginia.

sent to Jail. They were violating local
ordinance, and Police Chief Herbert
Jenkins, whose personal belief in
segregation is Subordinated to his
respect for law, had set his face against
any demonstrations which might have
led to the kind of mob action which got
out of hand in Little Rock. We think
that Chief Jenkins was right. With all
due respect to the constitutional argu-
mentS concerning free speech, the right
to picket, ETC., the time to clamp down
on incitement to riot is before the riot
starts. This is what was done in Atlanta
And the same thing should be done in
other situations in which demonstrators,
pickets or Sit-in contingents deliberately
violate the law. If firm law enforce
ment is right, and we think it is, as an
instrument in aid of school deSegrega-
tion, it certainly is not less right when
applied to those who seek to enforce
other demands in disregard of law.

We Cannot Stand Still

The Presidents latest statement
might be read to mean that the United
States will not resume nuclear testing,
regardless of what the Russians may
do. For if the size of our Stockpile and
the capabilities of individual weapons
and delivery systems are indeed wholly
adequate" for the defense needs of the
United States and the Free World, there
would seem to be no need for renewed
tests.
We do not think, however, that this
Is the meaning which Mr.. Kennedy
meant to convey. For we cannot afford
to stand still in an atomic arms race.
We will surely fall behind if the Rus
S1onS test and we do not-and to fall
behind is to court disaster. 1t does not
follow, of course, that testing has to be
resumed tomorrow or the next day. If
there is some real or fancied benefit,
and we think it will be a fancied one,
in waiting while to let the impact of
the Russian announcement sink in on
the rest of the world, then a brief delay
on our part will not be fatal But an
indefinite delay is another matter.
On this, two points of view have
Just been stated in summary form. DR..
Linus Pauling, leader in the fight
against any nuclear testing, has con-
demned the Russian decision and has
called upon Moscow to reconsider. But
the United States, he adds, should re-
frain from testing regardless of what
the Russians do. DR.. Edward Teller,
sometimes called the father of the
H-bomb," thinks we should resume
testing Immediately in view of the Soviet
announcement. If we do not, he says,
the United States is doomed to become
a Second-rate power, and a second-rate
power cannot survive against Russia.
We think DR.. Teller is right, and
we are not willing to believe that the
President is going to buy" the Linus
Pauling philosophy.

All Quiet in Atlanta

The deSegregation of four formerly
al-white high schools in Atlanta with
out any significant incident is a note
worthy event
1t does not follow, of course, that
the end of the desegregation road is in
sight. This was token integration-

than 1000. Nor can Atlanta be COM
pared to rural Georgia Most of the
residents of the city, a metropolitan
community of more than 100000
people, probably would prefer to main
tain segregated schools. But they
certainly would not be willing to see
schools closed or the process of public
education disrupted in what they know
would be futile attempt to defy the
courts.
This attitude did not come about bv
accident. 1t was preceded by an intensive
campaign, conducted by local political
and school officials, to prepare the
people of Atlanta for the overturning of
a century-old tradition of segregation.
The Smoothness of the transition testi-
lies TO the success of this effort-and
sets worthy example for other
Southern cities which, sooner or later,
will have to face the same problem.
There were, to be sure, a few in
consequential incidents. Some teen-age

Un-Americonism

Constantine Brown put his
finger on this country's diff
culties when he quoted from
a native Swiss who said that
the destiny of the United
States is guided and decided
by ."those who have en-
sconced themselves in perma-
nent inches in your political
life. You can find them
in the executive as well as
legislative branches of your
government in Washington"
We are told constantly in
other articles and reports
that the United States is
heavily infiltrated with
friends of Russia. Cuba, and
communism.
Their idea could be to aid
the Soviet take-over through
a policy of "do-nothing" by
this country.
1t is time that the possibil-
tiles in Mr.. Browns article be
thoroughly investigated for
the well-being of us all.

Watches Our Arsenal

An AP wirephoto in The
Star was captioned United
States infantrymen move up
to the border between West
and East Berlin at the Fried
richStrasSe crossing point.
The show of strength was
backed by tanks, rifles and
machine guns"
I noted with some sur
prise that the rifle our 1861
GI was carrying appeared
to be a 1886 "Garand";; or,
officially known as the US.
Rifle, Cal. 80, MI.
That the "Garand"-M1-
gave a good account of it
self in every theater of COM
bat in World War II is an
accepted fact. However, this
rifle is now obsolete. It's limi-
tationS were emphasized dur
ing the Korean War. It's
weight was a primary crit
icism-depending on the
density of the wood in the
stock, it exceeded 10 lbs. En-
bloc loading with an g.
round clip left much to be
desired, since a partially ex-
pended clip could not con-
veniently be refilled during
a lull in battle. Also the IN
fantry man needed greater
magazine capacity when con-
fronted with maSsed infantry
attacking at close range,
especially at night when
aimed fire was impossible.
The MI is a Semi-automatic
rifle.
On May l, 1857. the Sec
retary of the Army an
nounced the adoption of the
M14-the new US. Army
rifle. He said, "As funds are
made available a pilot quanti-
ty will be produced, followed
with volume production and
issue of the new rifle to
troops beginning in 1860"
The new MIA rifle weighs
81 lbs, unloaded. Its maga-
zine capacity is 20 rounds,
loaded from clip or box. A
change lever provides a
choice between semi and
full-automatic. 1t can be
field-stripped without tools
to 9 parts. 1t fires the 1852
nm. NATO cartridge, COM
mon to all our allies.
Today is August "a, 1861.
What has happened to the
announced volume produc-
ton and issuance of our

The Bahia de Nipe

The important thing about Federal
Judge Hoffman'S ruling in the case of
the Bahia de Nipe is that the court has
clearly recognized the controlling force
of the doctrine of sovereign immunity
when properly asserted by the State
Department.
Judge Hoffman was not overly
pleased with some aspects of the case.
For example, when the Coast Guard,
acting under instructions from Wash
ington, refused to permit United States
marshalS to serve writs of attachment
on the ship, the judge said that Presi-
dent Kennedy had exceeded his powers
Without the ability to serve the court
process" he added, "the doors of the
court may be forever closed"
When it came to the matter of a
formal ruling, however, Judge Hoffman
said the courts should avoid any con-
flict with the Executive in the field of
international relations. Recognition
and allowance of the claim of sovereign
immunity by the State Department,
when accompanied by certification of
its action presented to the court by the
Attorney General, is final and binding
upon the court" the Hoffman opinion
stated. This would seem to end the
legal controversy-even though Judge
Hoffman has granted stay to permit
opportunity for an appeal by Americans
seeking to attach the vessel in satisfac-
ton of claims against the Cuban
government.
The Bahia de Nipe, bound from
Cuba with load of sugar for Iron
Curtain countries was seized by de-
fecting crewmen and sailed to Norfolk.
The State Department, at the request
of Cuban authorities, asserted the claim
of sovereign immunity, and the ship
undoubtedly will in the end, be sent
back to the Castro government. This,
of course, will be diStaSteful to many
Americans, who wouldn't give the
bearded dictator the time of day. But
it is a proper step under international
law, and it is also necessary one if
the hijacking of ships-and planeS-is
to be discouraged.
