Adlai Stevenson to be one
that the United States should
agree to have investigated by
the United Nations. It might

dies its segregation problems
in the South.
In the last few days. an
international conference has
been going on in London in
which several former Brit
ish colonies, now independ-
ent. openly criticized South
Africa and virtually forced
her out of the so-called Com
monwealth group because Of
the way racial problems are
being handled in that coun-
try. Even though soon to
become an independent re-
public, South Africa's in
ternal affairs were consid-
cred a subject for formal de-
nunciation by several ma
tionS in the British Com
monwealth Conference. This
led to the withdrawal by
South Africa of her partici-
patton in the Commonwealth
group hereafter.
A tendency to disregard
the difference between in
ternal and external questions
has long been noted among
groups or factions inside a
country seeking outside SYM

ties IN this country, in their

Capetown - while bitterly
complaining about his dis

they would take South Africa
away from its last tie to the
crown Of Britain's young
Queen. They have found
their opportunity now, in the
Commonwealth Conference
in London.
There, India, PakiStan,
Ceylon, Ghana, Malaga, Nj
geria and Canada persisted
in attacks on South Africa
so extreme as to give Mr..
Verwoerd his chance at last.
Mr.. Macmillan'S every effort
at rational compromise was
knocked down by the saliva
tionistS.
Mr.. Verwoerd, secretly hop
ing all the time to be thrown
out, responded inevitably by
saying: Very well, then, since
South Africa is not welcome
in the Commonwealth, we will
now get out. He could not
have done this without some
means Of making himself
(and South Africa as a ma
tom appear a martyr. He
had to have some appeal,
however spurious, to the ma
tionaliSm Of South Africa.
Tragedy lies all over the
scene-and not least for the
salvationiStS themselves. A
South Africa still within the
Commonwealth has unde-
niably been checked to some
extent in its anti-Negroism
by the powerful moral pres
sure Of fellow Commonwealth
members. A South Africa

Refusal to Enter Race Believed Forcing
Party Into Much-Needed Hard Work

to get down to work. 1t
would not have been easy
with Mr.. Nixon as the nom
inee. But it would have been
much less arduous.
1t was Mr.. NiXon'S advice
to the party leadership which
provides the most interest.
He was talking to them, and
through them, to the nation
al structure. If one reads be-
tween the lines, he seemed
also to be diSaSSociating him
self from Senator Goldwat-
er'S slogans and indicating q
preference for the modern
Republicanism of Gov. Nell
son Rockefeller who may, in
1864, be Mr.. Nixon's major
opposition If, at that time,
he decides to try again for
the nomination.
Mr.. Nixon's advice in 1861
is Just what it was in 1856.
He urges year-round State
organizations; a talent scout
for new and modern candi-
oates. and efforts to recruit
support from labor groups,
young voters and the sub
urbS. There was no reaction
airy pronouncement in it.
1t was unreasonable to ex-
pect Mr.. Nixon to enter the
1862 campaign. He has just
finished resting up from the
1860 race. 1t would have been
necessary for him Immediate
ly to have plunged into the
huge task Of organizing the
State, smoothing out trou-
bles. and reuniting the fac
tions produced by his own
power-struggle to obtain con-
troll Of the State machinery
so that it might serve his
own political ends.
Also, Mr.. Nixon is an
astute and observing young
man. The COP. split is, in
a very real sense. more serious
than the chronic and historic
chasm dividing the Demo-
Gratis. In the first place, the
Democrats have learned how
to live with theirs. When the
need comes they can bridge
the bloody abyss and join
hands. Secondly, the events

In the weeks after the 1856
Republican convention, a re-
porter asked the Vice PreSi-
Dental nominee, then carry
ing most of the campaign
burden, to give an evaluation
Of Modern Republicanism.
1t had been this phrase which
had dominated the bouyant
delegates. already convinced
Of victory.
What does it mean to
you?" the reporter asked.
Mr.. Nixon first said he did,
indeed, believe in the slogan.
He conceived it to be well
founded and expressive Of the
new leadership. 1t was his
opinion the party had failed
in the past to bring young
men and women into it. 1t
also had more or less isolated
itself from labor and had
given the impression, during
the depression years, of being
against social welfare ad-
vanceS merely because the
Democrats were urging them.
Modern Republicanism, he
believed, could, and would.
change all this. He believed
in it and was for it.
In 1860, the Republican
campaign failed. To be sure.
its edge of defeat was a mar
row one. A number Of factors
contributed to it. But, none
was more productive Of de-
feat than the failure Of
Republicanism to be modern.
The dynamic promise of 1856
turned out to be Just a Slo-
gan. It was not implemented.
That Mr.. Nixon was restive
and unhappy about this
during these four years Is
not disputed.
1t is now confirmed. Mr..
Nixon has advised Republi-
cans Of California he will not
be a candidate for Cover
nor in 1862. This was not un-
expected. 1t was, however,
something Of a disappoint-
ment to those politicians who
had been hoping against
hope for an affirmative de-
cision. They now will have

There are some strange
goings-on at the United Ma
tions these days so far as the
United States is concerned.
Quiet diplomacy" appears to
be operating with a cover OF
secret maneuvering. The
American people are in the
dark about it all.
Adlai Stevenson, American
representative at the U. N,
is the big question mark.
Why, it is being asked, did
he favor voting with the So
Wet Union and against Great
Britain and France on the
Security Council to meddle
in the internal affairs OF
Portugal in her African ter
ritory Of Angola?
Why also has Mr.. Steven
son been trading privately
with Foreign Minister Gro
myko of the SovietS about
dropping the resolution con-
cerning Hungary in exchange
for the cutting-down Of the
program of debate on other
issues which America presum-
ably wants to avoid?
Since when is public dis
cuSsion an evil thing in in
ternational affairs, especial
ly when human rights are
involved?
II there are sound reasons
from a diplomatic viewpoint
to engage in such a barter
deal, these have not been re-
vealed, and that's why mem
bers of Congress are begin
ming to express their concern
over what's happening.
Portugal is an ally of the
West. 1t is a member of
NATO. 1t owns the Azores
and permits American mill
tary forces to use these is
lands for air bases and naval
anchorages in the mid-At-
lantic. Why did the United
States take the risk Of an
tagonizing Portugal?

The tests are given each year by

Corporation as part of the Nations
largest Independent scholarship
program.
Awards are granted on the basis
of intellectual merit, but student
financial needs determine the size
if individual stipends, which are re-
Movable each year without further

What would happen if Dare County
were involved in an atomic attack ?
Would there be enough nurses or
other qualified persons to handle
the situation? These are two ques-
tons that we must answer in order
to see whether we, as the people of
Dare County, are prepared for such
a dreaded and dreadful predica-
ment. AS each day goes by, the
world situation becomes more criti-
cal. Who knows what may happen
any day? We must get together
to try to lick this problem of
shortage of first-aid assistance
Would every registered nurse or
pratical nurse who is not working
now at either clinic please get in
touch with or, write to Charles
Evans? Also, would those people
who are not already qualified and
who are interested in taking
first-aid course from the Red
Cross, please notify me?
If number of qualified people
can be obtained, this number can
be divided into the total population
of Dare County, and we may see
just how short we are, and also see
how many persons should take the
Red Cross Course to rid US Of this
inadequacy. Your prompt reply will
be very much appreciated and help
