Visiting Newsmon
AssoiIed by Louw

JOHANNESBURG, Sout h
Africa, Dec. l (AP) "A South
African newsman now touring
the United States on a State
Department grant was accused
by Foreign Minister Eric Louw
today Of displaying an anti
South African attitude.
Mr.. Louw singled out Lewis
Sowden, assistant editor of the
Johannesburg English Language
Rand Daily Mail, in criticizing
some of his country's newsmen.
The broadcast was recorded in
New York, where Mr.. Louw is
attending the United Nations
General Assembly session.
Mr.. Sowden, who is visiting
United States universities. re-
portedly interrupted Mr.. Louw
last Tuesday as the Foreign
Minister defended South Afri-
cas- racial policies before the
General Assembly.
Mr.. Sowden shouted from the
Assembly gallery that delegates
should not listen to Mr.. Louw
because he's telling half
truths and always has"
The Rand Daily Mail has an
nounced that Mr.. Sowden has
been suspended from his post
and it was reported that the
government has asked the State
Department to cancel his

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec.
(AP) With a new narration
the Operation Abolition" film
report by the House Committee
on Un-American Activities tells
a story directly opposite to the
committees account Of the San
Francisco City Hall student riot
The pictures are exactly the
same in a new version called

pared by the American Civil
Liberties Union of Northern
California.
But the new versions narra-
ton by Ernest Besig, ACLU

The ACLU hopes to circulate

solely because the colored
race chooses to put that
construction upon it.
THE argument also as
sumes that social prejudices
may be overcome by legisla-
tion, and that equal rights
cannot be secured to the Ne
gro except by an enforced
commingling Of the two races.
We cannot accept this prop
osition. II the two races are
to meet upon terms of social
equality, it must be the result
OF natural affinities, a mu-
tual appreciation Of each
others merits and a volun-
tary consent Of individuals.
AS was said by the Court
Of Appeals Of New York;
This end can neither be ac-
complished nor promoted by
laws which conflict with the
general sentiment of the
community upon whom they
are designed to operate
Legislation is powerless to
eradicate racial instincts or
to abolish distinctions based
upon physical differences,
and the attempt to do so can
only result in accentuating
the difficulties of the pres
ent situation"
The foregoing quotations
come from the famous deci-
sion of 1896 known as "Plessy
v. Ferguson" but they were
repeated this year by Judge
Ben Cameron Of the United
States Circuit Court of APP
peals in filing a dissenting
opinion in connection with
a case OF racial disturbance
on a bus line in Birming-
ham, Ala. 1t was this same
viewpoint which the Supreme
Court of the United States
in 1854 overturned, not on
the basis of constitutional
law or legal precedents, but
by citing modern authority"
namely. several treatises on
psychology and social SCI
ence. Small wonder there
are extremists who today

onstrate against this form
Of modernism" in the Fed

Reds Believed Easing Denunciotions
Of President by Order of Khrushchev

The Russians have stopped,
for the time being. pushing
the button marked "Denounce
Kennedy" They are now
pushing, instead. a second
button m arked "penounce
Johnson"
So Vice President Lyndon
B. johnson finds himself the
unsurpassed target for a good
deal of that not very spon-
taneous Soviet anger that
used to go to President John
F. Kennedy.
In Moscow - "as Is al
ready well known" to use an
already well-known phrase of
Soviet diplomacy - indigna-
ton is machine-made and
not, so to speak, touched by
human hands. It comes out
in whatever lots and sizes
may be indicated for a par
ticular situation at a parti-
cular moment. The present
particular situation and par
ticular m o m e mt obviously
point to LBJ and not JFK,
and In this circumstance
there lies a good deal of in
terest.
1t appears Premier Khru-
shchev has decreed that for
immediate purposes attacks
on the President will be
played down while attacks
on the Vice President are
played up. It is easy to spec
ulate on the probable rea-
sons.
Perhaps one reason is that
the West itself has at last

ing self-doubt and dissension
in a critical time.
1t was his decision that
his subject for the New York
dinner should be Unite d
States gains in the cold war,
all achieved peacably. 1t is
routine to clear the Vice
Presidents speeches when
they impinge on foreign
policy.
Mr.. johnson is not close
to the White House intellec-
tuals. but President Kennedy
and all the staff have conf
dence in his political judg-
ment. 1t is very possibly one
reason that the President in
his western appearances
harped on the harm done by
extremists to the effort to
find ways to exist without
dropping bombs.
With his height and bold,

been forced into a recogni-
tion-most reluctantly, since
we seem determined usually
to take the dimmest possible
view of our own power-that
the West is, after all, pretty
strong. pretty tough, and
really pretty determined on
the essential things.
This, therefore, is a poor
time for pushing the button
marked "Denounce Kenne-
dy." since it is Mr.. Kennedy
who leads and symbolizes a
West which is now prepared
at last to admit that maybe
it is doing reasonably we'll in
the cold war.
Perhaps another reason is
that Mr.. Khrushchev's deci-
sion to have full publication
in one important Russian
newspaper of the Presidents
recent interview with Soviet
Editor Alexei Adzhubei did
not turn out to be quite a
Soviet maSterstroke.
Mr.. Khrushchev allowed
the publication, as some au-
thoritics here see it, in the
notion that heScould use the
interview as a stick with
which to beat the heretical
Communists in China. Some
of Mr.. Adzhubei's many re-
marks to the President in
that interview really
amounted to saying that the
Russians were reasonable"

manding worldwide commu-

ing presence. The aides who
draft his speeches suit to it
a rather spare style with
short sentences and compact
paragraphs. The literary al
lusions are few and the hu-
NOR is usually on the sharp
side. In this case at least the
verbal missiles found their
mark.
What Mr.. johnson is con-
sidering is how best to in
tervene more than ever in
the defense Of the admins
tration'S political position at
home. His revered mentor,
Speaker Rayburn, is no more
and there is little rapport
between Mr.. johnson and Mr..
Rayburn's probable successor,
Representative John McCor-
mack Of Massachusetts,. Yet
the House will be the scene
of Mr.. Kennedy's greatest
difficulties in the session
starting in January.

The State Department had
cleared the speech by Vice
President johnson which i'm
PEELED Valerian Zorin. Soviet
Ambassador to the United
Nations, to stalk from a New
York dinner honoring U. N.
Ambassador Adlai Stevenson.
Secretary Rusk took pains
later to assure the Vice Presi-
dent that it still was "a damn
good speech" that eeded
saying.
What aroused Mr.. zorin
was Mr.. Johnson's recital of
American successes around
the world, together with his
flat statement that they far
surpassed what the Commu-
nists had been able to do.
This was a fighting stance
for an international dinner
and Mr.. zorin professed to
have been insulted by the
host.
The dinner actually was
sponsored by Medico, which
the late DR.. Thomas Dooley
helped to found, and Mr..
Stevenson received it's first
annual World Humanitarian
Award. In his speech of ac-
ceptance he said that U. N.
presence in the Congo is
necessary to prevent a Span
ish civil war" in the heart of
Africa. a thesis equally un-
attractive to the Soviet t
Union.
The Vice President had his
own reasons for using so
important a forum to say
some kind words Tor Uncle
Sam. He is a thoroughly po-
litical animal and he feels
strongly that his party and
his country, in their wish for
unity. has been far too much
on the defensive.
Mr.. Zorin's walk-out only
calls attention to what Mr..
johnson has been doing for
some time, which is taking the
offensive against critics at
home and abroad.
1t is claimed for him that
he was the first national fig
ure to speak out strongly
against the John Birch So
ciety and similar groups. This
was at Gainesville. Ga, Oc-
tober q last when he argued
forcefully that all such peo-
pie did was to SOW damag-

were unreasonable" CON-
munists holding the old faith
that all capitalist countries
must be destroyed outright.
But Mr.. Kennedy did not
choose to cooperate in this
design. He took the occasion
simply to put over to a good
many Russian readers the
fact that the West has long
had sound reasons to fear the
motives of all kinds Of COM
munism. Soviet as we'll as
Chinese.
Whatever the full facts
about the Kremlin's present
let-up on Mr.. Kennedy, there
is no doubt at all why Soviet
assaults on Vice President
johnson are rising. He has
for some time been pounding
at a single point. This is that
the West is. in fact, very
strong and simply has not,
contrary to some occupation
al gloom-casters, been losing
everywhere and all at once"
in the great struggle for the
world - not now, and not
under President Eisenhower,
either.
1t is this line, which Mr..
johnson has been hitting
with a certain Texan tact
lessness, which led Soviet dip
lomats to stalk out, in great
hurt, from a recent dinner at
which the Vice President re-
viewed the facts. 1t is even
possible that they themselves
painfully thought that he
had something there. 1t is
also possible that this is why
Moscow broadcasts are call
ing him "inflammatory" and
"bellicose."

Much has been said lately
about extremists" President
Kennedy has assailed them
in public speeches. So has
Vice President Johnson, AS
one reads the headlines this
week, however. it is becom-
ing increasingly apparent
that only one kind of "ex-
tremists" is in disfavor and
that some of the others are
actually extolled as heroes
and champions of freedom.
To plan to take the law
into ones hands is bad when
the Minute m en- foolishly

but somehow the same kind
Of tactics are given a heroic
flavor in the phrase Free
dom Riders.
Mississippi now reports a
riot melted by Freedom Rid
ers at a restaurant. Plans
are being made for the exer-
ton Of pressure next week on
the owners of restaurants
wholly disconnected from
railroads or buses and op-
Grated as private businesses

"Sit-in" demonstrations that
have aroused resentment or
produced riots and even
bloodshed are not being con-
demned by either President
Kennedy or Attorney Cen
eral Kennedy as the acts of
extremists.

tionS. Is it possible that
the administration here hes
itates, for domestic political
reasons, to denounce these
tactics or those whose dem
onstrations unwittingly furn-
ish publicity for the Com
munist criticism of America?
1t could be presumed that
the Negro vote, which has
benefited the administration
in many elections. is too
large to risk alternating it by
any public criticism of the
Negro organizations that are
conducting the Freedom
Rides. Maybe If they had
as few members and as little
influence politically as the
John BircherS, the Freedom
Riders would have long ago
brought down upon their
heads the wrath of admin
iStration spokesman.
The church organizations,
too, are for the most part
strangely silent. Though in
evitably the Freedom Rides
result in violence every now
and then. it is the police
who are denounced for al
legged brutality when they
make arrests or try to pre-
serve order. Indeed. some
clergymen actually partici-
pate in the demonstrations
and allow themselves to be
arrested in order to get pub
licity for the cause they es-
pouse. There's no objection
to anybody getting publicity
for a cause. but there is a
distinct difference when the
form of demonstration is cal
culated to cause violence.
What is the solution?
Maybe it would be helpful
to reread the following words
from a decision of the Su-
preme Court of the United
States:
I'VE consider the underly-
ing policy of the plaintiffs
argument to consist in the
assumption that the en-
forced separation Of the two

them since 1913. This report was

The colleges listed, II not actual

ial bars to admission. Not covered
in the Council report are schools
like West Virginia and Kentucky
State colleges which have opened
their classrooms to white students.
Just as there are only two states,
Mississippi and South Carolina,
which have neither indignation nor
