AtIonto's Mayor
Aiming for Peace

Hartsfield, now II, an expert
politician and one more or less
of the Truman mold.
was so intent upon talking
with the Mayor that I deferred
a visit to the Cyclorama, a
trip to Stone Mountain, a
visit to old haunts in Decatur
street, and even call at the
Journal offices on Forsyth
street. The Mayor was my OBJ
jective.
He had just returned from
a fishing trip to Panama City
Fla. and was at city hall.
Sure" he said, I'm in my
oath year as Mayor. Our pri-
mary comes up September IL
but I doubt if I'll run again.
My present decision is not to
run again. But my years in
this office have been fascinat-
ing and I'm very proud of
Atlanta's growth. Why, we now
have 1.047.000 people in the
metropolitan area.
"TOO Busy to Hate"
I'VE have a large Negro
population and we get along
with them. I'm determined, as
is Police Chief Jenkins, that
what happened in Little Rock
won't happen here. We have
TOO fine policemen and they've
made a study of riot control.
Atlanta is a city that is too
busy to hate. We're not a boil
weevil town; we're up and
doing and up and coming in
this era of the changing South.
THE number of colored
people in our schools will
gradually increase. The matter
of lunch-counter deSegrega-
ton will come up later and,
we hope, without violence of
any kind. I live right here in
Atlanta, in the Morningside
Heights section, and I love the
place"
Mr.. Hartsfield, a gracious
man and the best after-dinner
speaker Atlanta has known
since Preston Arkwright was
president of the Georgia Rail
way & Power Co., smile d
warmly.
He said: II remember you
well, Mr.. Morehouse. When you
were a reporter here I was an
alderman. We have many of
the same friends. You did a
great disService to our city and
our State when you came down
and took Becky Franklin to

Congolese factions in an effort TO
convince them that the session was
an absolute necessity. Western dip
lomats are said likewise to have
kept after the Congolese leaders
in the face of mounting Soviet
support for the Gizenga regime as
the legal Congolese government.
Dramatic Affair
The parliamentary meeting on
the grounds Of Louvanium Uni
versity outside Leopoldville was
dramatic affair. Press and public
were excluded. Unlike the found
ers of the American republic who
rode to Philadelphia on horseback
the Congolese descended on Lou
vanium in helicopters.
So tense was the Congo atmos-
phere that /, 900 blue helmeted UN
troops guarded the Parliament site,
which was entirely surrounded by
electrified cables.
An important prod in bringing
the opposing Congolese politicians
together was a promise of $10,-
C00,000 in economic assistance
which UN aides insisted was made
to the Congo as a whole. The
money is to be used for vital i'm
ports and public works to reduce
unemployment in the newly indie
pendent nation.
The parliamentary meeting at
Louvanium lasted about two weeks.
The two houses were reported to
have finally voted unanimously
with one lower-house abstention in
favor of Mr.. Adoula as head of
the new central government. Mr..
Adcula is a former general secre-
tary of the General Confederation
of Congolese workers.
He is considered moderate"
and not Western. He has an
nounced that his government will
pursue a policy of positive neu-
tralism" in foreign affairs.
Now that effective authority ap-
pears on its way to being reestab-
lished in the troubled Congo, the
UN begins to look ahead to the day
when it can concentrate on the

NAACP Suit
10 Stop Arrest
OF Freedom
Riders DELAYED

Mississippi officials Monday were
granted seven-week delay in an
swering a federal court suit chal-
longing segregation in the states
bus, train and airport terminals.
1t was the second postponement
in the suit, filed last June 8 by
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
A three-judge federal panel said
the NAACP's legal action was so
sweeping that defense attorneys
should be given additional time to
prepare their case.
Circuit Judge Richard T. Rives
of Montgomery, Ala, who pre-
sided over day-long preliminary
arguments, said it was the inten-
ton of the court to try the case
on it's merits in Jackson federal
court on Sept. Is.
Before granting the request for
delay, the panel denied two mo-
tions by the state. One would
have required all railroad and bus
companies carrying passengers in
Mississippi to be listed as defend
ants. The other asked that NAACP
attorneys be more specific in their
charges.
Taken under advisement were
state requests to throw the case
out of court and try it before a
single judge instead of a panel.
The other members of the panel
are District Judges Sidney Mize
of Biloxi and Claude Clayton of
Tupelo.
Almost 300 freedom riders"
have been arrested here since May
"a under breach of the peace laws.
Tom Watkins, a special lawyer for

IndividuoI Design

A delightful by-product OF
that trend is individuality in
kitchen design. When fash
toning cabinetwork to fit Spe-
cific needs, it's an easy mat
ter to tailor them to suit
individual taste.
Thus, today'S kitchen makes
use of a wide variety Of wood
species and patterns for cab

them that particular one
which will produce a certain
desired effect.
One growing favorite is red
cedar, whose warm, ruddy hue
SndoWS the kitchen with old
fashioned charm. And mod

possible to use woods such as
cedar without fear, for clear

Custom-tailored cabinetry
also permits individuality in
styling. Cabinets and work
counters can be grouped ex-
actly where they are most
needed and extras are easily
added to the kitchen: For ex-.
ample, a tiny niche alongside
the kitchen door may offer
space for q homemakerS desk.
The desk can be a simple
affair consisting of a bit OF
counter and some shelving
hung on the wall above for
those all important cook
books. Add a telephone if you

Along with the more practi-
cal aspects of cuStom-tailor-

Speaking in Burlington, Wise,
William Goodman, personal rep
resentative of Mississippi's Gov.
Ross Barnett, told businessmen
and high school students that RAJ
ciaI segregation in his state helps
both the Negro and white races to
prosper. He failed to mention that
it has helped them prosper so
much that Mississippi now has the
lowest per capita income-for both
whites and Negroes-of any state
in the Union. But then, as one
alert observer pointed out, Bur-

STRANGER THAN FICTION
Can you multiply 51324372O1 by
452736502785 and get the right an
swer within seventy seconds -
Neither
can I. But a nine-year- boy,
who had previously failed in arith-
metic, was able to accomplish this
after studying the magical Trach-
tenberg system of mathematics.
That method is not only speedy
but simple and makes lightning
calculation almost as easy as read
ing a story. 1t looks like sheer
wizardry, but its rules are based
on sound logic, ably expounded in

mates. doubleday, $4.95.)
AS fascinating as the mathe-
NAUTICAL system itself is the story
of how it was developed. Jakow
Trachtenberg, a Russian engineer,
who fled to Berlin after the Soviet
revolution, spoke out courageously
against fascism and, when Hitler
rose to power, once more had to
run for his life, this time to Wen
ma. After Hitler took over Aus
tria, Trachtenberg was shipped to
a concentration camp, where he
remained until 1914
To keep his sanity, Trachten-
berg moved into the logical world
of numbers He devised shortcuts
for everything from multiplication
to algebra, working everything in
his head, putting down on scarce
bits of paper only the finished
theories. Finally, he invented
foo1-proof system to make it pos
sible for even a child to add thou
sands of numbers together with
out making a mistake.
Shortly before the war ended,
he managed to escape to Switzer-
land, where he established the
Mathematical Institute in Zurich.
The Trachtenberg system is used
in Swiss banks, business firms and
in the tax department. Will it be-
come popular here? l don't know,
but when my son brought the book
into his sixth-grade class, he
| found that his teacher had already
ordered a copy to try out its prin-
ciples.

y HAN1EHS-IH TEN
NEIGHBORS
The history of A me Ca is
summed up in the title of Clarence
Seniors brilliant little book, Stran-
gers-Then Neighbors (Freedom
Books, 95c). Discussing the waves
of migrants who have made Amer
lea great, from Pilgrims to Puerto
Ricans, Senior exam es the
stereotypes spread against for-
eigners" over the years by Ku
Kluxers, Know-Nothings, and 9TH
er so-called 100 per cent Ameri-
cans" Ironically, notes Senior,
xenophobia (anti-foreignism) is a
disease that often attacks even
those whose ancestors were for
eigners.
Sometimes, the author points
out, a stereotype can affect the
health or even the lives of mem
bers of a minority group. On
April %, 1858, The New York
Times reported that Puerto Rican
sewing -machine operators in a
Manhattan factory became hys-
terical one morning, screaming,
fainting, running for the fire es-
cape. The health and fire depart
ments, looking into the reasons for
the eommotion, discovered that the
workshop contained "a very high,
deadly concentration of carbon
monoxide" But a physician first
called to the scene, originally had
dismissed the entire matter on the
grounds that Puerto Ricans are a
very high-tensioned people,"
THE POPULAR WOBBLY
"I'm mild hammered man as
can be,
And I've never done them
harm that I can see,
Still on me they put a ban and
they threw me in the can,
They go wild, simply wild
over me-"
Years ago, the Industrial Work
ers of the World DIETER known
as the Wobblies) sang this refrain
as they hoboed across the country
organizing migrant workers, min
ers and lumberjacks. They were
radicals and non-c onformists but
never conspiratoria1.
The song still applies today. For
a dozen years, I've wondered why
Attorney General Tom Clark put
the IWW on the "subversive" list
in 1949, without earin 6.
(They're still on the list) Clark,
now U. S. Supreme Court Justice,
confessed his misgivings about that
list. perhaps we should, as look
at it now, have given the parties
an opportunity to be heard before
we issued it," Justice Clark told
400 Columbia University law stu
dents recently.
