What explicitly are some of
the main things parents should
teach which will help to avoid
delinquency? One of the first
and most vital needs of a
youngster is to discover him
self. He must realize that he
is a distinct individual, 1t is
only then that he can truly
love God and neighbor and as
sumo responsibility for 9th
erS.
NEXT, PARENTS must
teach children by word and
example the difference be-
tween self-love, s~elfisbneSs and
unselfishnesS. There is always
an element of self in every
one of us. This "self-love" is
good.
1t is a rational, deliberate
desire for ones own welfare
and for anything likely to
promote it. "Selfishness,"
however, consists not in in
dulging this or that particular
desire but in disregarding for
the sake of personal pleasure,
the rights or feelings of 9TH
er men.
THIS IS wrong.
Now, the "unselfish'' man is
one who has a reasonable self
love. He is not unjust or I'M
charitable to others. He shows
a hahituaI willingness to sac
~rifice-within rational limits
his own interest and pleas
ure for the welfare of others.
The child must first learn
"~self-love." After this he is

his union in writing that he

WHILE THE LABOR move
ment, as l suggested last
last week, may not be alto
gether happy about this deci-
sion, some of labor'S critics
are even less happy about it.
The reason for this is that the
Supreme Court, while restrict
ing the use of union dues for
political purposes, ruled thtat
unions may l~egitimately en-
gage in political action and
also ruled that the union
shop, at least in the case of
those unions which come I'M

a legal arrangement.
These two rulings came as

What do the Christians in
Israel think of the Eichmann
trial? Arthur Gilbert of the
editorial board of the Jewish
magazine The Reconstruction
ISL interviewed Israeli Chris
tan leaders on this topic and
published the results i'll the
June 80 issue of that maya
zine. He did not question
these leaders about the legali-
ty of Eichmann's arrest but
confined himself to the two
key points Of procedure and
punishment.
TO BEGIN WITH, Arch
bishop Hakim said that Arab
Christians are "very happy
with the Israeli courts and
feel that they have been fair
to Jew and Arab alike. The
Archbishop is head of the
largest Catholic group in Is
rael, the Arab Catholics who
belong to the Byzantine rite.
AS to the value of the Eich-
mann trial itself, Archbishop
Hakim said that it has helped
his people to understand how
and why Israel was created.
Previously his Arab Catholics
had no idea of the appalling
atrocities inflicted on the
Jews. Even now, they find it
hard to believe that such
things could happen.
ABBOT LEO L EF,
O.S.B., Abbot of the Dormi-
ton on Mount Zion, also said
the trial served a good pur-
pose. Before the trial he had
been told by various persons

be given some time after ap.
parent death. No one knows
exactly when the soul leaves
the body and in this extreme
situation the Church wishes a
person to have the benefit
of the sacraments if if is pos
sible. If the person had at
least imperfect contrition be-

can receive the benefit of

ally extended by and to, the

"They handle their problems,

Senator Eastland and other
Southern critics have charged
that CORE harbors, if it is not
actually led by, persons with
records as Communists or fel-
low-travelers. To which CORE
has replied formally:
"The accusation is ridiculous
and despicable."
Mr.. Rich claims CORE care
fully screens applicants for &C
tive membership, not only for
its own protection, but because
it does not want wide-eyed,
naive support for what it con-
siders a hard journey toward
eventual racial integration. He
contends the screening is of a
nature that bars any Commu-
mist infiltration of CORES
ranks.
Recruiting Is Minor
Recruiting, he continues, is
a minor factor in supporting
CORE. He says more often
persons seek out the organiza-
tion for help in a racial crisis
and stay on afterward as &C

RocioI Tests Follow
Blueprint of CORE

In his IS hours Of forced i'm
prisonment, Mr.. Farmer, read
and muSed and came up with
a blueprint for the freedom
rides-a passive, integrated ef-
fort to crack another of Dixie'S
racial barriers.
Target Date Picked
Target date for the arrival
of the first Freedom Riders in
New Orleans eventually was
set for May IT, the anniversary
of the 1854 Supreme Court de-
cision outlawing school Segre-
cation.
"All this was planned with
out any knowledge that Presi-
dent Kennedy and Premier
KhruShchev were going to
meet" says CORES community
relations director, Marvin
Rich, who is white.
Thus CORE seeks to refute
Evening star., 1961-05-28

ing members, most Of them
white, who send in money from
time to time, but take no active
part in the work. In addition,
there are $500 active members
about half of them white-in
so locals across the country.
The latter, the Spearhead in
testing segregation, make such
financial contributions as they
are able. Occasionally they pay
specific dues on a local level.
For the fiscal year ending
May 81, CORES budget is
$233.000 and Mr.. Rich says it
just about will be met. This
pays staff salaries, bail bonds,
legal fees and other expenses.
The freedom rides have not
been expensive. The riders have
not chartered any buses, but
paid regular fares on sched-
uled lines.
Used as Cutting Tool
Mr.. Rich calls CORE the
cutting edge" of the move
for racial integration. It may
loosely be described as the ac-
ton arm of those fighting for
racial equality, while the
NAACP is the legal arm.
The 31-year-old Rich speaks
Of warm cooperation occasion
Evening star., 1961-05-28

the charge by Senator Eastland,
Democrat of Mississippi, that
the freedom rides were designed
to embarrasS Mr.. Kennedy at
the summit talks.
CORE was founded in 1912
by Mr.. Farmer, formerly of the
staff Of the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement Of
Colored People. He got his idea
from q Sit-in demonstration
staged by a group of Negroes
against an all-white Chicago
restaurant.
Headquarters Of CORE is a
cramped third-floor suite on
Park Row, across the street
from City Hall in downtown
Manhattan. Mr.. Rich says it
has 10 employees in the head
quarters office, plus four execu-
tiveS who spend much of their
time in the field-right now in
the freedom rides areas. OF the
four, three are white.
Five Field Secretaries
CORE also employs five field
secretaries, one Of them white,
who range the country, without
a permanent base. These 10
paid employees draw salaries
ranging from $4,000 a year for
a clerk to $4,000 for Mr..
Farmer.
CORE claims q, 900 contribut-

rooms and the like-which are
more common because they
were outlawed less than six
months ago.
As for CORES future targets
in the South, Mr.. Rich says
railroads retain segregated IA
cilities in some areas. But he
feels airlines are a more i'm
portant target. Mr.. Farmer has
said:
Throughout the Nation, we
can end segregation in bus.
train and airline terminals if
we are willing to make the
sacrifices involved"
Mr.. Rich goes further. With
out setting a definite time
table, he insists:

NEW YORK, May 27-One
stormy day last December an
Interstate bus stalled on the
New Jersey turnpike and was
snowbound for Is hours. Indi-
rectly, this wintry ordeal
helped spawn the freedom rides
and the blast of racial violence
n the South.
Aboard the marooned bus
was James Farmer, Negro
founder and leader of the Con-
greSs of Racial Equality. With
MIN on his interrupted trip he
carried a biography of Mahat-
ma Gandhi, India's great eX-
ponent of passive resistance.
He also carried the burden Of
a Supreme Court decision a
few days earlier outlawing seq
regation in interstate bus ter
minals.

that CORES activities provoke
racial violence in the South
and thus besmirch the image
of this country abroad, he re-
plies:
ANY embarrassment that re-
suits is caused by segregation
ist forces"
What does CORE feel it has
accomplished thus far with its
freedom rides? Says Mr.. Rich
I'VE did succeed in integral
ing many terminals in the
South-for example, Danville,
Va; Charlotte, N. c.; Augusta
and Athens. Ca, and, tenn
porarily at least. Montgomery,
Ala"
Buses were chosen as the
initial CORE target chiefly be-
cause they offer the cheapest
fares and thus are most utilized
by students and other Negro
travellers.
Consider Airlines
Mr.. Rich says segregated
seating on interstate buses
was outlawed in 1916 and, ex-
cept for limited areas of the
South, no longer is a major
problem. The freedom rides,
therefore, are aimed at segre-
gated terminal facilities-res-
