The Pentagon is taking a new
look at it's traditional policy
of helping Hollywood make
service pictures, and some pro-
ducers fear the era of great
war movies may be coming to
an end.
So far the moviemakers have
not actually been hurt. Arthur
Sylvester, Assistant Secretary
of Defense for Public Affairs,
has ordered that the rules for
cooperation" be better en-
forced, not changed.
But at the same time he has
begun a thorough review of the
whole business. Specifically, he
wants to determine whether it
is, in fact, in the Defense De-
partment's-and public's-in-
terest to lend troops, ships and
guns to movie producers.
1t is this basic review Of the
traditional cooperation policy
that worries Hollywood.
The producers say that such
great war pictures as Battle
ground" go for Broke" "The
Caine Mutiny" and Com
mand Decision" could not have
been made without help from
the services. The Army, Navy
and Air Force themselves are
happy to have the pictures made
because the films are guaran-
teed to give a favorable i'm
preston of military life.

will be screams that we are
about to become engaged in
a thermonuclear war.
1t is at this point-the
pause-when the United Ma
tions may be called to enter
the scene because of the i'm
minent threat to world
peace.
Those familiar with the in-
side of the present diplomatic
workings say it will be then
that the so-called italian
plan" will be presented. 1t
repeatedly provides a very
simple solution for the thorny
problem: The Western occu-
patton forces would accept the
substitution of East Germans
for the Russian forces at all
checkpoints without recogni-
zing the new East German re-
public. But at the same time
The allied forces in West Ber-
lin would cease to be ma
tional." They would become
the agents" of the United
Nations which would be placed
nominally in charge of the
Western portions of the form
er German capital.
The U. N. agents" would
continue to enjoy unhampered
access to the city from West
ern Germany but only as
United Nations forces. Some
sources with knowledge of the
alleged plan say that it pro-
vides for a neutral supreme
commander - probably a
Swede-to be appointed by
the U. N. to give the right
flavor to the United Nations
role as a peacemaker.
AS a sop to West Germany,
a plebiscite to be held within
the next five or 10 years to
decide the unity of the two
Germanys also will be pro-
posed, something similar to
the U. N. solution of West
Irian.

- Gov. Edmund G. Brown
urged Richard M. Nixon yes

give the press the answers"
Gov. Brown, a Democrat

Republican opponent in a
statement in Los Angeles:
Richard Nixon has said he
will answer questions about
the long-secret $205,000 loan
to his brother only if the
questions come from me.
Let me make my position
clear. I do not regard the
Hughes loan as a personal issue
between Mr.. Nixon and me.
It is an issue between Mr..
Nixon and the people OF Cali

Since Mr.. Nixon insists that
I ask a question. I will ask
one:
"Mr. Nixon, why don't you
answer the specific inquiries
of the press and attempt to
satisfy them that there was
nothing wrong with the
Hughes loan?"
Mr.. Nixon has said the loan
to his brother, Donald, was
secured by property owned by
his mother, Hannah.

ROME - Now that Premier
Khrushchev has dipped his
toes in the pleasantly warm
waters of Cuba without being
thrown off the beaches, he
is preparing the major show
down in Berlin.
Cuba has, been for the
Kremlin dictator a mere cur
tain raiser; a successful test
of American Christian toler-
ance; a beginning of salami
diplomacy in the Western
Hemisphere.
Reliable West German
sources report that large con-
signments of war materials
are being rushed from the
Soviet Union and CzechoSlo-
vakia to East Germany. The
officer corps of the East Ger
man army has been screened,
and officers with doubtful
loyalties have been purged.
The East German puppet
government has now an ade-
quate force for whatever
limited assignment it is given
after Mr.. Khrushchev signs a
separate treaty with the Ger
man Peoples Republic. And
that day is not far off.
According to Mr.. Khru-
shchev's statements made in
public and in private CONVEX
sations with foreign visitors,
it will happen before the end
of this year. When the wheels
of the Soviet aggressive di-
plomacy are set in motion, the
East German forces will be
ready to go into action as a
proxy for the Red dictator.

convinced that his bluster-

In the wake of the wholly
unnecessary and brutal riots
at the University of Missis-
sippi, history and civilization
focus a bright and revealing
spotlight on Alabama and
South Carolina. In these
States the leadership in the
capital, the congressional
delegations, the press, the
pulpit and business commu-
nifty must soon give answer.
The question is whether
their leaders are determined
to follow the Ross Barnett
blueprint of forcing Federal
authority to act to preserve
the national integrity, or If
they will provide the people
with a policy of compliance
with law to meet the inevita-
BILE decisions of the future.
The eloquent and concilia-
tory words of President Ken
nedy on Sunday evening be-
fore the riots deserve to be
heard again and again. The
Executive Branch of the Gov
ernment did not wish to be-
come involved in Mississippi.
The politicians and White
Citizens Councils of that
State apparently had enough
influence to create State-po-
lice resistance to Fe d er al
marshals charged with carry
ing out a Federal court order.
The issue of segregation
has, therefore, become a sec
ondary and relatively minor
one. The primary issue has
become the authority of the
United States Government to
govern by law.

By now it must be plain to
all those willing to think
about it that if just one State =
could defy Federal courts and
Federal authority the United
States quickly would disinte-
crate into a chaos of fac
tionaliSm and would soon fall
prey to its enemies. We could
not be a nation without the
supremacy of the Constitu-

Each State and the courts
thereof are bound by that /.
Constitution. Each Governor, !
each member of the Congress

takes an oath to support that ]

tations as made by the Unit

These Governors, Congress-

political expediency, them-
selves deny what the Consti-

sion, they do not agree with
the courts. -
The South has suffered
much and will endure even

Success by One in Defying the Union

1t is not reassuring to hear

South Carolina encourage the
violence in their States by
saying publicly that both
President Eisenhower, at Lit

States rights.
A cruel and dangerous de-
ceit of the Southern people,
especially those of the Deep
South States, for years has
been practiced by most Of
their politicians. The people

they can interpose their au-

ury during the Eisenhower
Administration.
Mr.. Humphrey was head OF
the Hanna mining complex
when the contract was negoti-
ated. After Government service
he returned to the firm and
now is honorary board chair
man.
Jess Larson, the official who
approved the deal January 16'
1858, testified yesterday ne

because the need for nicke,
during the Korean War wa'

has been no indication OF an,
improperly in. the contract. H
said the question is whether
under wartime conditions-th'
profits were too high.
The contract has been Sc
verely criticized by the Con-
troller General as giving the
Hanna company high profits
while it assumed no risk.
Hanna officials contended
they performed a public serv-
ice by developing the first
nickel production in the United
States, at a mine near Riddle,
Greg. They said they agreed to
develop production at that time
at the Governments insistence
and would have preferred to
take their time about it.
Mr.. Larson, administrator of
the Defense Materials Pro-
curement Agency under former
President Truman, said his
staff told him of the tough
ness of Hanna's position early
in the lengthy negotiations.
Their unique contract de-
mands were as Objectionable to
me then as they are to some
of those who have only recently
become aware of them," he
said, adding:
a.. No one of my staff was
happy with the Hanna pro-
posal. An honest and a dill
gent effort was made to amend
that proposal through pro-
longed negotiations but, in the
end, it remained substantially
the same"

that time.

after a meeting of defense pro-
duction officials in January.
I'VE were told then that
we should pay up to 81 a pound
for nickel if necessary to get
the owners of nickel deposits

ward expanded production" he
said.
