devastation caused by flood wa
tiers in Alabama, Georgia and
Mississippi I had to shed tears.
There, huddled to themselves in
an improvised room, were my
people-the Negroes. /
I am proud of my heritage and
haven't regretted once being
Negro. but humiliation is so diff
ficult to bear sometimes. In war
or peace times soldiers are Uncle
Sans property. If they fall in the
line of duty, they are rescued
with no thought of color and plac-
ed in beds side by side with other
races. When they are buried, they
lie side by side and the same lit
tie white crosses identity them all.
Who knows but God himself
whether floods. famines, lorna
does, wars and disease are not
His ways of trying to bring us to
our knees?
If ever we needed The Lord, 1t Is
now. Millions out of work and
many more will be before the sit
uation improves. Threats of war
are nearer home as we all can
see. This is not India, China, Laos,
Russia or the Congo, but if we
aren't very careful, it won't be
long before we can't tell the differ
ence. We boast, lit can't happen
here" But it can, so let's face it.
If we haven't been praying, we'd
better start-or We may not have
the time.

The real answer is that we are
doing this-if it is to have any real
and permanent meaning at all-in
order 10 preserve the best and Oldest
ideal that history knows, which is
freedom. Freedom means many
things. Ii means a high degree of
personal responsibility and pride. in
which one cares for himself and his
family without looking to government
for aid unless no other avenue is open.
1t means, in the fine old sense of the
phrase, government which is the
servant and never the master of the
people. 1t means that leadership and
national purpose come from the
people and are not imposed upon
them from above. 1t means a deep
spiritual belief that every man is
important, as person and an entity
and that men in the mass can
never be allowed to submerge the
individual, and make him a number
among faceleSs millions of numbers.
Whatever we have done, are doing,
or must do, will be worth every
necessary cost if this idea is kept
bright and shining before us But if
we lose tiff we allow the individual
to become a poWerlesS, driven pawn
in a game player by rulers-every-
thing worthwhile will be lost too
Finally, if man would think back
for a period a little more than 100
years ago, and believe the truth that
God has sent to the world his
Spirit renewed, mans distraction"
would begin to solve its self But, if
we can remember, it was more than
800 years after Christ had come,
before mankind would believe it, even
in the narroWeSt sense. Those who
now hold on to the Christian religion
and to other religions, then held on
to the Jewish teachings. We feel
sure that many people who think, can
often find themselves wondering how
and why things are happening SO
rapidly. Perhaps, in the next
hundred years the world will under
stand that we are blessed with
the help of a new, or rather Renewed
spirit and power from God. The
blindness of man to this fact often
and most often, get things tangled up.

A WORLD OF DISTRACTION

If there is one word which describes
the condition under which we and all
civilized peoples live today, it is the
word Distraction.
This is a common enough word,
but it has wide and significant mean
ings. For one thing, the dictionary
tells US, it means drawing off or
diversion of the mind. 1t means
confusion and perplexity. Then, at
the far end of the spectrum, it means
alteration, frenzy, even madness.
We have a plentitude of distractions
these days. The cold war goes on
and on, everbroadening, with no end
in sight. The worlds eyes we're
recently rivited on an unprecedented
meeting of chiefs of state at the
United Nations in New York where,
literally, one well-aimed rifle shot
could have marked the beginning of
World War III. We have just gone
through a political campaign of
unique intensity, in which the deciS-
ion Was agonizingly close We have
witnessed a reign of terror in Africa
which reads like a chapter from the
Dark Ages We have seen the eStab-
lishment of what amounts to a
Communist dominated state a few
miles from the Southeastern tip of
this nation. And-in single year
some 40 new countries with their own
flags, parliaments, aspirations, and
latent and unknown powers, have
come into being.
On top of all this, we have our
deep passionate controversies at home
as to what should be done in such
diverse fields as education, medical
care for the old and INDECENT, the
production of electric power in the
nuclear age and, above all, the proper
role of government in ordering and
directing the lives of the people.
So Distraction" is the symbolic
word. Our minds are torn in a
hundred fragments. The problem has
been compounded to an enormous
degree by magical progress in the
arts of communication, visual and
verbal. In a matter of seconds, some
event taking place half world away
is made known to us, in words and
pictures In a matter of hours, we
ourselves can physically travel half
a world away from our homes.
1t is no wonder that, living as we
must in this turmoil, it becomes, as
the old French proverb has it, more
and more difficult to see the forest
because of the trees. Fundamentals
become dim and may even be lost
beneath the cruel and binding light
of changing and threatening events.
But some things do not change.
That is what we, because of our
heritage and because of our inescap-
able position as leader of a free world
confronted by a slave world which
wants to destroy us, cannot afford
TO forget.
The question is: What is it all for.
this spending of almost unimaginable
resources of energy and treasure on
"a scale never before SO much as
Appropriated in history Why may
we be asked, as a people, for per-
sonal, material sacrifices greater than
any we have yet known?
There is a simple answer-that we
must defend ourselves and our friends
among the nations against the forces
of darkness which are our enemies.
But that is not the whole answer by
any means.

General Robert Kennedy by

The Hartke approach would
present the long-stalled bill tc
add two judges to the Juvenile
Court as a means of reducing

Also falling into this category
would be the controversial pro-
poSal drafted by a House SUBJ
committee to transfer Juvenile
Court to Municipal Court and
to create one additional Mu-
nicipal Court judgeship.

of youngsters sent before a

Georges County Delegate tc
the General Assembly since

for Congress after a telephone
conversation with Gov. TaWes
yesterday.
Mr.. Wilkinson will seek the
new seat Maryland earned BY
growth in population. The
Legislature tired to create the
new district from Howard anc
Prince Georges Counties, but g
referendum delayed that law
and created an "at-large" seat
for 1862.
Gov. Tawes is expected tc

slate repeatedly has been Of
fered to Delegate Blair Lee

Tawes Is Silent
But Mr.. Wilkinson said Gov
Tawes has not committed him
self to Mr.. Lee or anyone else
A spokesman said Gov. Tawes
was not ready to comment pub
licly about the situation.
Meanwhile, some Democratic
sources said another possible
candidate for the at-large seat
is DR.. Long, a Johns Hopkins

on the speculation.

Politics is replacing the
weather as the chief topic of
conversation in Maryland these
days.
In the latest Republican de-
velopment, Senator J. Glenn
Beall has indicated he may run
for Governor.
On the Democratic side,
House of Delegates Speaker
Perry o. Wilkinson has an
nounced his candidacy for Con-
gresham at large, and the
name of DR.. Clarence D. Long
has been suggested for the
same post. =
Senator Beall acknowledged
yesterday that some g. o. P.
leaders have asked him to run
for Governor next year-a spot
former Republican Gov. Theo-
dore r. McKeldin is understood
to be eyeing.
Question of Service

the United States Senate has
four more years to run. said he
has not given a definite an
swer. It's a question in my
mind as to whether I could
best serve Maryland as a men,
ber of the Senate or as Gov
ernor," he said.
Senator Beall, a resident of
Frostburg, has never lost an
election. He represented the
sixth district (Western Mary
land) for five terms in the
House before his election to the
Senate in 1852.
He said after Congress ad-

Party Fight Unlikely
Mr.. McKeldin repeatedly is
considered too much of a lib
eral by some G. o. P. leaders,
but it is unlikely there will be

Republican nomination. More
likely, both men will sit down
with party leaders and deter
