SAVANNAH, Ga, Mar. 18
(AP) "A series of fist fights
between groups of Negroes and
white youths erupted at Savan-
nah shortly after $50 Negroes
marched two abreast on the
sidewalk behind spectators
watching a st. Patrick's Day
parade.
Most of the city's 200-man
police force was called into &C

half hour disturbance. Officers
arrested 80 Negroes and 8 white
persons.
A dozen youths suffered cuts
and bruises in scattered melees
but none was hurt seriously. A
city bus and several cars filled
with white persons were pelted
with rocks and bricks.

BY the Associated Pres

Richard j. Murphy, President Kennedy'S 31-year-
old nominee for personnel chief in the Post Office
Department. is helping carry the mail to learn his job
Mr.. Murphy told the Senate Post Office Committee
yesterday he rode railway postal Culpeper Va,

Next week, he said, he will spend day walking a
delivery route with a mailman. Then he plans to go
to the Nations largest post office in New York to
watch mail handlers at work
These experiences. he said, should help make up
for my admitted lack OF background postal opera
tions.
Committee members praised him and at once
approved his nomination to be Assistant Postmaster
General in charge of the bureau of personnel.

But can America, by siding

such a change? And if we do
will not the fabric of NATO

Portugal is determined to
keep her overseas territories.
She will not yield them un-
der U. N. pressure even if it
means her walking out of
that organization. Washing
ton has been urging Lisbon
for nearly year to comply
with the new trends in
Africa and follow Belgium'S
example. The answer has
always been the same: Just
because of what is happening
IN the Congo, Portugal is de-
termined to stay where she is.
Moreover, the Salazar gov
ernment has pointed out to
us that while the Belgians,
the French and the British
have been colonizing central
. Africa in the last 10 or 80
years Portugal has been in
Angola for five centuries. Its
overseas territories are as
much a part of Portugal as
Hawaii is a part of the United
States. But so long as the

real friction between the two

The other members of
NATO. including the diplo-
matically versatile Britain
who had abstained from vot-
ing, were aghaSt at our &C
ton. And in the prestige
world market, over which Mr..
Kennedy and his counSellorS

CLEVELAND. Mar. 18 CAP) .
DIR. Linus Pauling, Nobel
Prize winner, told a conven-
ton audience here last night
that if United States Senators
who call him "pro-Soviet" will
waive congressional immunity,
he will sue them.
Earlier yesterday the Senate
Internal Security SubCommit-
tee accused Dr.. Pauling, a
chemist and California InSti-
tute of Technology professor,
Of displaying "a consistent pro-
Soviet bias"
The scientists challenge to
the congressman brought him
a standing ovation from Ameri-
can Humanist Association con-
vention delegates.
He went on to say he felt
negotiations on international
agreement to stop nuclear
weapons tests we're requiring
an excessive length of time. But
h voiced optimism on the out
look for world peace:
Il believe that we can win
the final victory over the i'm
morality of war, that the ma
tions of the world will give up
war-Will become moral -
DR.. Pauling said that during
recent years there has been
significant, although slow,
progress toward the goal of
total and universal disarma-
ment." He noted that since
late 1858 negotiations have been
underway at Geneva to formu-
late an international agree
ment on ending nuclear weap-
ons tests.
1T is proper that the nego-
tiators should move ahead with
care, they must not make a
serious mistake" Dr.. Pauling
said. "On the other hand, the
length of time required for the
negotiations seems to be excess
sive."
The American Humanist AS
sociation will present DR.. Paul

WICHITA FALLS, Tex,
Mar. 18 (AP) Senator Gold
water, conservative Republican
spokesman from Arizona, cam
paigned throughout Texas yes
terday for another Republican
and drew rouSing cheers when
ever he attacked liberals or
Democrats or spoke against
Government controls.
Senator GoldWater cam
paigned in Austin, San Antonio,
Wichita Falls and later in
Dallas for John G. Tower, the
only Republican among the II
men and women running in a
special United States Senate
election to be held April 4. The
election will determine who
fills the Senate seat vacated by
Vice President Johnson.
About 1000 persons met
Senator Goldwater and Mr..
Tower at the airport here and
cheered the Senator when he
said Tower was helping to
bring the tWo-party system to
Texas.
/ In San Antonio Senator
Goldwater drew roars of ap-
proval and applause when he
told 1000 persons at a lunch
con that the solution of the
Nations economic ills is "to
allow people to make money
and keep money and invest it
in capital goods"
/ In a breakfast speech at
Austin, he told 600 persons that

Cerned about people than these

Sen. GoldwatCr leveled heavy
criticism in the Austin and San
Antonio speeches at admins
tration proposals for Federal
aid to education and extended
unemployment compensation.
The Senator delighted audi
enceS with his description OF
how to locate Austin-"you just
fly along until you come to a
large city with only one tele-
vision antenna."
For a city as big as Austin
this doesn't look very progress
sive," he said with a chuckle.
His reference to the one tele-
vision antenna was based on
the fact that Mrs. Lyndon
johnson owns Austin's only
televiSion station.

the San Antonio crowd to its
feet with his description OF

Washington diplomats have
not had a single dull moment
since the dynamic Kennedy
administration took office.
One day they hear the Vi
brant Chief Executive tell
the world that the United
States policy is to further
tighten its close relations
with its allies in order to face
the Communist menace which
is increasing. The next they
hear about a new American
Soviet filtration threatening
the free world.
One day the ambassadors,
taking for granted the PreSi-
dents words, inform their
respective governments that
the young Chief Executive
will never fall into the Krem-
lin trap and is even more de-
termined than his predeceS-
sorS not to yield an inch to
the Russians. The next day
comes the cold shower.
Actions of the United States
appear to belle the words of
its President. One of these
instances occurred this week.
On Thursday morning Mr..
Kennedy, attending the cen
tennial of the establishment
of the unity of Italy, spoke
glowingly not only about the
historical ties between our
two countries but also about
the need for the closest CO.
operation between the allies.
Yet that very afternoon Am
baSSador Adlai Stevenson,
the American representative
to the United Nations, voted
in the Security Council along
side the Soviet Union and
the United Arab Republic.
He divorced the United States
from its French and British
allies and cast our ballot for
the cenSure of Portugal'S
handling of her territory of
Angola.
Mr.. Kennedy's speech re-
ceived little international
coverage. But the American
vote in the Security Council
caused deep reverberations
all over the world. 1t gave

Soviet Setting Stage for q Purge?

printed words runs a demand
for a return to truthfulneSs
and integrity. That this evi-
dence of a lack of those quail
tiles should coincide with the
Jail sentences of some of the
top industrial leaders in the
United States, and our own
problems of payOla, would
indicate that an industrial
society anywhere has trou-
BILE with the conflict between
morality and competitive
efforts. There is tremendous
competition in the Soviet in
that in all forms of produC-
ton, various units officially,
and publicly, are committed
against one another in out
put results.
What this Soviet OutburSt
amounts to is a caustic crit
iciSm of the Communist par
ty to those who now direct
it. 1t also is ShreWd politics.
Mr.. Khrushchev is not un-
like one of our own promiS-
ing politicians. He did not
go as far as the Hoover cam
paign promise of two chick
ems in each pot. He does
pledge the girls more pretty
scarves and the people bet
ter clothing, shoes, housing.
This was an indirect admis-
sion the party has not pro-
Vided these things. 1t is sound
politics in that it will arouse
the people to support a purge
of party officials and an ef-
fort at party reform.
1t also explains why Mr..
K. now seems willing to have
discussions with the Ken
nedy administration at the
ambassador and foreign min
lister level rather than at the
summit. He must. for a while,
busy himself with mending
his own fences.

Undersecretary of sta e
George Ball leaves for Europe
today on a mission aimed at
improving the efficiency Of free
world aid and getting other
industrial countries to step up
their share.
Mr.. Balls main destination
is London, where the United
States and eight other Western
industrial countries plus Japan
will hold a Development As
Sistance Group session March
27-29.
En- route, Mr.. Ball plans to
stop off at Bonn March 1922
and Paris March 1926 to talk
over aid problems with officials
in those capitals.
The donation DAG so far
has been mainly a discussion
group for foreign aid questions
faced by the industrial nations.
Under the new Organization
for Economic Cooperation and
Development, which has Just
been ratified by the United
States Senate, the DAG would
become one of tine principal
committees Of the new interna-
tional economic organization.
Clearing House is Aim
United States authorities
said Mr.. Ball, in behalf Of the
United States, expects to pro-
pose at London that the DAG
become a clearing house for
all foreign aid activities Of free
world countries.
The United States envoy was
said also to be planning to dis
cuSS greater sharing of the aid
burden by other advanced ma
tiOnS.
1t is Mr.. Balls hope that the
strengthening Of the DAG will
have, as logical outcome. an
increase in assistance offered
by other nations. The reason
ing is that with a clearer stock
taking of who has what re-
sources available for aid, and a
clearer picture of where the aid
should go without overlapping,
the necessity for increased par
ticipation by others will become
apparent.
Other Items Considered
The United States has some
proposals in mind for a yard
stick on who should contribute
how much. The formula has
been kept secret pending con-
sultation with the other coun-
tries, and United States Off
Cials said no hard and fast
