Doubts of Rural Areas
On Urban Plan Studied

to be no new department. The
Advisory Commission on Inter-
governmental Relations based
its support of the bill on the
condition that such a strong
declaration of the Federal in
terest in big cities be stricken.
'Urban's" Definition at Issue
II regard the commission as
slightly loaded with State gov
ernment interests" said Sen
ator Clark, admitting a preju-
dice, as former Mayor Of Phil
adelphia, on the side of cities.
Budget Bureau Director Bell
testified he understood the new
department is intended to aid
all cities. regardless of size.
But Senator Mundt, Republican
of South Dakota, doubted that
the meaning of the word "ur-
ban" could be stretched that
far.
The Census Bureau defines
212 urban areas as those with
10000 population or more.
Mr.. Bell promised to submit
a definition of urban" accept
able to the administration.
At afternoon hearings, Edwin
Michaelian representing West
chester County, N. Y, and
Stanley Frosh, Montgomery
County (Md0 councilman,
urged a go slow" approach to
CO. -ordinating Federal activities
for cities.
A Bureau of Urban Affairs
could be set up in the Executive
Department with strong
director and full staff, they
said. The bureau, in turn, could
be bird-dogged by a Joint
Congressional Committee on
Urban Affairs.
Senator Javits, Republican of
New York. promised to fight
for the congressional commit
tees.

He added: I'VE approach the

Economic Conditions Worse
Mr.. Stevenson declined to
comment on his tour before
reporting to the President but
informed sources said he would
report that conditions are worse
than when he made a similar
tour a year ago.
He was understood to have
found the governments consci-
Gus of a Communist menace but
the current political climate un-
suitable for joint action to curb
subversive activities.
He also was understood to
feel that anti American Senti-

April invasion of Cuba but that
it is subsiding with time.

BY GRACE BASSETT
Star Staff Writer

A Senate subcommittee has
scratched the surface of rural
antagonism to the proposal to
create a new Federal Depart
ment of Urban Affairs and
Housing.
Senator's and Budget Bureau
Director David Bell who testi-
fled anticipated this viewpoint
and attempted to answer two
major questions raised at Gov
ernment Operations Subcom-
mittee hearings yesterday. They
were:
How urban" must a town be
to merit attention of the pro-
posed Department?
Fear Lack of Favor
Should broad statements of
Federal interest in metropolitan
problems be written into legis-
lation creating the department?
Both questions stemmed from
fears among officials of small
towns and counties and sparsely
populated States that they
could not compete with big
cities for Federal favor in a new
department.
Senators Clark, Democrat of
Pennsylvania, sponsor of the
administration bill, and Senator
Keating, Republican of New
York, who introduced another
version, agreed that an urban
area" could well be defined by
law.
Senator Keating suggested
substituting the title "Commu-
nifty Affairs" for the admins
tration's Urban Affairs and
Housing"
AS for the Federal policy
statement. Senator Clark noted
that his bill simply laid out
in the Introductory section
those powers the Government
now possesses for aiding urban
development.
But he made it clear he
would prefer authorizing legis-
lation without the policy clari-
fication if the alternative were

IIlC OSW1SI1 IdlIll.
Justice Thomas A. AureliO
ruled that Mrs. Sylvia Gluck-
stern Glasser, former wife
of Philip Gluckstern, owner
of a kosher restaurant in
New York City, was in con-
tempt of court. The couple
was married in 1884, lived to-
gether as Orthodox Jews, and
had three children.
The youngest, Lewis Jay
GluckStern, was awarded to
the mother in a 1859 separa-
ton agreement, on condition
that the father shall have
full charge of the religious
education" of the boy land
may bring him up in the
Orthodox Jewish faith, not
withstanding any different
religion which the mother
may have"
In his ruling, Justice Azure
lilo said that each had since
remarked and that Mrs. Glas-
ser "has become converted
to Christian Science" He
cited the separation agree
ment by Mrs. Glasser that
she would not try to teach
the boy any other religion.
At a trial of a suit brought
by the father, Mrs. Glasser
testified she took the boy to
Christian S cience e services
every Sunday. The boy testi-
fled that he wanted to be-
come a Christian Scientist.
The judge ruled, however,
that "this infant should not
be permitted to abandon so
easily the faith he was born
in. He has not reached the
age of discernment and un-
derstanding to fully appreci-
ate the significance of this
momentous decision.

with the demonstrations against

committee are communist in

Operation Abolition" the
controversial m ton picture
sponsored by the House I'm
American Activities Committee,
has been shown in these parts
with considerable frequency Of
late.
This film, which deals with
the rioting attendant upon the
committees hearings in San
Francisco last May, should not
be swallowed whole. It imputes
to the Communists good deal
more responsibility for the riot
ing than they probably deserve.

gator, William Wheeler, has
confessed that the film is not
entirely accurate. Following is

does have inaccuracies; does
have distortion.

that, Mr.. Wheeler?

Hattiesburg, Miss.
Sir:
The u. S. A. is nearer to be-
ing united" states now than
it ever has been since the be-
ginning of the federal union in
1889.
For at last the major bases Of
Sectionalism have broken down.
This is significant fact about
the election of November, 1860,
which commentators haven't yet
dealt with adequately. In spite
of the fact of j. F. KS religion
and the fact that the Democratic
Party threatened to quicken the
pace of the movement toward
full civil rights for Negroes,
Kennedy and Johnson carried
the South. The Southeast, al
most in its entirety, was added
to the Northeast to make the
geographic division in this cleo
ton mainly the eastern half of
the country versus the western
half. But this new sectional di-
vision has no apparent real sig
nificance, since the popular vote
in each state was very close.
Geographic sectionalism has
largely disappeared. The divi-
sion which remains, largely in
articulate as of now, is surely
one based on economic terms,
and if and when it evolves it
will deal with such things as.
cooperative enterprise, workers
rights, public ownership, and So
cialized services.
But the fact that such a di-
vision has not yet evidenced it
self accounts for the closeness
of the vote throughout the
country. We are nearer to being
a monolithic society than we
have ever been. There has been
no challenge from the Left. In
fact the Left, if there ever was
one in the U. S. A.. seems to
have disappeared.
We are in a dangerous time.
In Britain at least part of the
Labor Party is addressing itself
to the question of what to do
with the nuclear bomb-to the
question of human survival, to
the question of the corporate
S t ate. Our political education
seems not to have caught up
with the age. We argue about
the means of our. destruction,
not about whether we really
need to destroy democracy and
ourselves in our mad pursuit of
those we label Communist in
our cold war.
The history of our diposal. one
by one, of the restrictions
against full citizenship applied
to various segments of popula-
ton is a heartening story. The
struggle to extend suffrage to
those with little or no property
was the earliest major struggle.

ton with this struggle. Reliious |
