America today has a viz
tual dictatorship in the
White House.
For. "by one stroke of the
pen," President Kennedy has
Just put into effect a Flaw"
OF his own to ban discrimina-
ton in housing.
Congress six times has re-
fused to pass such a law, and
Senator Sparkman of Ala
bama, Democrat, warned on
October 9 that such an Ex-
ecutive order as has now been
issued would be unconstitu-
tional because an Executive
order cannot supersede a
plainly expressed wish of
Congress. Senator Sparkman
told the Senate at the time:
If there is a prevalent ma
tional desire to kill our Fed
eral housing programs, this
would be a way to do it."
The Presidents action is
not authorized under any
previous law of Congress or
by any provision in the Con-
stitution. Yet, under the new
order, citizens now will be
subject to such civil or GRIM
inal action" as the Attorney
General may deem appro-
PIRATE" If they DO not con-
form to the rules and regu-
lations to be issued by leach
Executive department and
agency subject to this order"
The order itself prohibits
discrimination because Of
race, color, creed, or national
origin in the sale, leasing,
rental or other disposition"
of certain residential proper
ties and related facilities
though privately owned. The
discrimination is prohibited
if Federal funds have been
involved in the purchase, con-
struction or operation of any
of these properties. This APP
plies also to the insuring or
guaranteeing of loans by the
Federal Government. Nearly
half of the houses and apart
ment projects built nowadays
are financed by FILA or Vet
Grams Administration loans.
So the construction industry
may soon feel a serious i'm
pact from this order.
Today the Flaw" concerns

resentative William Ayres Of

better known as the "Ev and

party is bigger than Senator
Dirksen and Representative
Halleck, with many more

Administration housing Of
ficials say they will adopt the
deliberate speed" technique
in enforcing the new housing
order. They also suggest that
its impact will fall more
heavily in the North than in
the South. This could bring
some kickback in areas where
Democrats normally prevail.
The White House has
handed to it a study of some
congressional races in big
States which indicates that
some Democratic candidates
of pronounced racial origin
ran well behind the ticket in
their districts. One politician
concerned with these areas
states a frank belief that the
white city voter is waging
some sort of rebellion of his
own.
There is no question that
the Presidents order is a
major breakthrough, less
dramatic than the Supreme
Courts school decision, but
almost as important.

The Pilgrims and Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving because Of lux
uries or comforts but be-
cause they sensed that all
things had worked together
for good-even as promised.
They we're to have another
testing winter. But they knew
they would not starve.
So they gave thanks to God
for survival and for the hope
Of enduring. -.
Already. there were many
Of the small, awkward ships
on the unknown seas. They
were packed with men, women
and children coming to "the
new world"
And when they arrived
there would be plenty Of seed
corn. 1t was the Indian maize
which built America
along with the ak and the
stout heart. And corn was
mentioned in the prayers of
thanksgiving offered on that
day.
One of the major entries
in their journal was of No
vember 8, 1920: This day
found heaps of sand newly
padded with their Qndian)
hands, which they (the Pill

them diverse Indean baskets
filled with corns, and some

verse COLOURS, which seemed
to them a very goodly sight,
having never seen any such

The great tick-tock of the
always-ti C king clock has
brought us to this day of
Thanksgiving. 1t has been BAL
years since that first one. And
now a great, rich, powerful
and comfortable Nation, in a
troubled world, still prays for
humility and strength.

ministered and that benefits
Hereunder are made avail
able to all Americans with
out regard to their race,
color, creed, or national
origin"
But once the Federal Gov
eminent has any connection,
however remote, with a loan
to a contractor or prospec-
tive owner of a house, does
the fact that such a loan has
been made give the Exec
utive branch of the Govern
ment authority for all time
thereafter to regulate the
sales and leases made by
tenants who may become
owners of the property?
When the Federal Govern
ment guarantees or insures
a loan, does it have the right
to coerce contractors and
citizens generally to do its
misunderstanding that the
terms of the loan have been
met by the payment speci-
fled?
If the Federal Government
now makes a loan to a coll
lege, moreover, does this give
the President the right to
issue Executive orders stat
ing how the educational in
stitution-public or private
shall be operated and what
proportion of students shall
be from each race or re-
ligious group?
Executive orders hereto
fore have been directly re-
lated to a specific statute
and have usually been re-
garded as a means of ampli-
flying a provision but not as
adding any new law or new
authority which has not been
explicitly set forth in the
statute itself. The Constitu-
ton says the President shall
faithfully execute the laws"
But the President, merely by
citing the public interest"
cannot issue his own laws
or regulations governing the
conduct of the citizen.
Congress could, of course,
nullify the effects of the
Executive order by a specific
statute. 1t is, incidentally,
assumed here that the Presi-
dent purposely delayed the
issuance of the order until
after adjournment Of the re-
cent session of Congress.
If the latest Executive or
der is not withdrawn. it could
mean that America has a
government which is no long
er based on the words of the
Constitution but on the po-
litical whims of the man who
happens to occupy the White
House.

Senator Goldwater is the

been in good health and was
comparatively inactive in the

will himself be up for re-

Senator Javits, who led the

ROME. - Italian business
men who had hoped to inject
themselves profitably into
once-rich Algeria are now
taking a dim view of the fu-
ture of that country, where
poverty and confusion are
rampant.
The Algerian government
has neither currency of its
own nor a budget. Current
expenses are met by the
French government in keep
ing with the Evian agree
ment. But on December 81
the French obligation will
end.
Salaries Of the Algerian Of
ficials are being paid by
Paris. Even Prime Minister
Ben Bella is receiving his
handsome salary as head of
the government from the
French who also pay his liv-
ing expenses, including the
high powered limousine,
chauffeur and bodyguards.
The rest of the cabinet, the
members of parliament and
the 30.000-man army also are
supported by Paris.
1t is a strange situation,
typical Of our times, that the
newly created Algerian gov
eminent which leans toward
left-wing neutralism must
and does rely entirely on mil
lions of hard francs from
Paris.
But the French government
has served notice on Mr.. Ben
Bella that after January
the money flow from Paris
will dry up completely. Unless
Mr.. Ben Bella comes down to
earth, Paris says, everything
that is movable French
property will be taken out Of
the country.
The Evian agreement was
sound. 1t provided for a full
economic cooperation be-
tween the newly born and the

mother country. The essence
Of the spirit of EVian was
that while Algeria would en-
joy the fullest independence,
she would maintain close ties
with France. not only in eco
nomic matters, but also on
the political level. All former
French overseas possessions
except two are following that
policy to their great advan-
tage.
The French government
felt the Algerians who had
reached a high degree of
prosperity during more than
a century as part of France
would not want to break the
long standing connections.
The Algerian delegates con-
firmed this hope when they
signed the Evian agreement.
President de Gaulle hoped
that some day Morocco, Al
geria and Tunisia would con-
federate and form a solid
economic political alliance
with France. This would be
in the interest of their own
people who had profited so
much over the nearly 100
years from the French cul-
ture.
But the men who signed
the rational Evian agreement
are out of power. The ambi-
tious Mr.. Ben Bella has taken
over. He has changed the
sense of the Evian agreement
and has given a chaotic di-
rection to the Algerian poll
cies. He suffers from a severe
attack of grandomania. De-
spite the unbelievable hard
ships of his countrymen, he
thinks in terms of forming a
vast republic comprising Mo-
rocco and Tunisia, headed by
himself.
The fact that his people are

as severe as those of the

CONSTANTINE BROWN
The Dark Outlook for Algeria

fluence Mr.. Ben Bella and
his minions in office, whom
the Algerian people have now
named "the vultures." Not
only have most European set
tiers left the country but
native Arabs are trying to
get to France before immi-
grafton and work permit rules
are strictly enforced.
The whole economic life
of what used to be the most
prosperous country in North
Africa is standing still. But
Mr.. Ben Bella, pulled up by
the honors bestowed on him
by foreign governments-in-
Guiding those in Washington
and Havana-feels that he
has become a world figure
and such trivialities as a
lack of national currency
and a treasury whose assets
are only his own superego-
tism are of little importance.
The royalties Algeria can
expect from the French eX-
ploitation of the Sahara oil
are too slim to meet even
essential expenditures to keep
the governmen t together
after the flow Of French
francs has ended.
There are serious misgiv-
ings that Algeria may become
another Congo. The chief
tains in the mountains who
joined the rebellion against
the French in a mood of
emotional nationalism are
now taking a more sober view
of the situation. The inter-
national prestige gained by
Mr.. Ben Bella by his trips
abroad does not provide for
the barest essentials for the
people of the once highly
prosperous cities.

to deal with the vast dark
forest. They were sick with
Scurvy and with influenza
and pneumonia. Weak, I'M
dernourished, they could not
do much against the infec-
tons of germs and virus.
They dug graves in the frozen
soil. They buried children,
with the deep, never-ending
ache which a child'S death
brings. They buried mothers,
who went hungry to feed
their children. They buried
fathers. When spring came
and the grip of winter was
broken, half of them were
dead.
But they who had endured
were even bigger when the
first springs warm sun gave
them hope and will.
Oddly enough, the tradi-

their first. 1t was on Monday,
