WATCHING THE WORLD
New Berlin Crisis in Offinq
By CROSBY S. MOVES
Foreign Correspondent Of The Stor

entered into its final decisive
act.
No doubt Mr.. Khrushchev
is well aware Of the risks
involved in signing q treaty
which will, in effect, transfer
the final responsibility for
the fate Of Berlin to Walter
Ulbricht and his friends. That
he appears willing to accept
these risks now, two years
after his original talk Of a
separate peace treaty, Is one
OF the more disturbing fea-
lures of the current inter-
national scene.
The reason that suggests
itself is even more disturbing.
Two years ago, Mr.. Khru-
Shchev believed that the
Allies, If forced to it, would
fight a nuclear war to defend
Berlin. During his first
months, President Kennedy
moved heaven and earth to
convince the Russian leader
of this fact, travelling to
Vienna to avoid any possible
miscalculation about his de-
termination.
Today the change Of tone,
at least on this side Of the
Atlantic, is almost deafen-
ingly clear. For the last few
months. almost everything
that has been said by top
Administration officials, mi
litary theorists and assorted
pundits has had the effect Of
casting doubt Of the funda-
mental assumption Of the
cold war. not only as it ap-
plies to Berlin itself but to
the whole Of Western Europe
as well.
Taylor Is Target
Public debate here over
what is taken as the new
military strategy Of the Ad-
ministration has reached the
point where an important
German defense expert has
accused the new Chairman Of
the American Joint Chiefs Of
Staff, Gen. Maxwell Taylor,
of having the madness to
believe that Europe can be
defended by conventional
weapons alone. Gen. Taylor's
reported views on the use of
nuclear weapons only in case
Of a direct nuclear attack on
the United States or q major
nuclear offensive against the
NATO area have suddenly
become accepted in Europe
as Administration doctrine.
The only trouble with this
doctrine, If applied to Berlin
or Europe today, is that it
makes the entire area mill
tarily indefensible. 1t Is all
very well to theorize that
some day Europe could be
defende d by conventional
arms alone. The fact remains
that today it certainly could
not be. And the net effect of
the debate is simply to weak
en- dangerously the credibility
Of the only real deterrent to
Russian aggression In this
part Of the world.

Puerto Rico's Status

President Kennedy in dis
cussing Puerto Rico. said that
the islanders must have a
chance and soon to vote on
their status with respect to
the United States; that is for
statehood or independence.
The reasons for a prompt de-
cision are as follows:
The actual juridical posi-
ton Of Puerto Rico Is an
ominous question mark. To
informed people here and on
the island the situation is
unsatisfactory. BY act Of Con-
greSs Puerto Rico has been
granted . juridical status
that hardly agrees with the
Constitution Of the United
Safes; the status is "unpro-
vided" by the Constitution Of
the United States. Therefore,
the uncertainty and diShon-
esty Of the situation is having
a bad effect on the island
people. Some Of them be-
lieve the advantages Of a
clever expediency cannot last
indefinitely. Others think the
honest thing to do is to as
sumo full statehood If they
are to benefit from associa-
ton with the mainland. Still
others believe the only way
out Is full independence, the
same sort Of independence
grasped by Fidel Castro for
his people.
From the legal as well as
from the social viewpoint the
present situation cannot con-
tinue. I cannot believe that
President Kennedy favors q
continuation Of the present
impasse, which has been
worsened by the obstinate at
titude Of the present Cover
nor in denying a straight
forward vote on statehood or
independence, which are the
only viable solutions not con-
stitutionally In question. The
Governor argues that a vote
was taken when the present
law was accepted, a law
creating an associate state"
Of the American union. This
is something similar to eat
ing your cake and having it

Chinese, and their popula-
ton was increasing by many
millions every year. They
often suffered from famine,
and they wanted Tibet as
extra living space. -.
Secondly, our country is
certainly rich in minerals. =.
Thirdly, the Chinese in
tend to dominate Asia, If not
the world, as many as them
frankly say, and the con-
quest Of Tibet is a first step
in this process"
There is a fourth reason.
In the past Tibet had been
under what the West thinks
Of as Chinese suzerainty.
Many-probably most - in
ternational lawyers are con-
WINGED that the country was
legally independent at the
time Of the most recent Chi
neSe invasion. But doubtless
there were elements Of face
and national pride in the
Chinese desire for recon-
quest. 1t is curious that His
Holiness, whose understand
ing of Chinese psychology
is profound, leaves this ques-.
ton entirely to the side.
His book, MY Land and
My People" is mostly a po-
litical and military history Of
Tibet in the last few trou-
bled decades. It could hard
ly be other than competent
and well-informed.
THE DALAI LAMA was
both the religious and secular
head of his country. And
from the Western point of
view, his country is strange
and unknown. Though my
Land and My People" tells
us something of Tibet's So
cial system and an appen-
dix contains a brief outline
of Tibetan Buddhism, the feel
for the country that one gets
from the book is something
less than might be expected,
There are occasional didac-
tic passages intended to con-
vey this sense of presence
But, as one might guess, it
is much stronger in simple
descriptions or in places
which deal with something
utterly common to the Dalai
Lama and very strange to us,

PARIS

A new crisis over Berlin
within the next few months
would confront. the Atlantic
Alliance with the greatest
threat Of its existence.
Leaders IN Washington
must be under no illusions
about how deeply rot has set
in: Never before has there
been greater doubt in Europe
about the intentions Of the
United States when it comes
to the military defense Of the
NATO area. And never be-
fore has there been a greater
possibility of fatal miscalcula-
ton on this question by the
leaders in the Kremlin.
News from Geneva sug-
gests that the warming UP of
the Berlin crisis may be inn
minent. Although converse
tons between American Sec
Rotary Of State RuSk and
Soviet Foreign Secretary An
drei Gromyko produced
n Nothing new they were
marked by a distinct change
Of tone from the East-West
conversations that have
taken place over the past
year.
Signing Expected
Mr.. Gromyko. It is re-
ported. reverted to q far
more threatening line about
Russian intentions in the
former German capital. Al
though no headlines were
set, the implication was clear
that the Russian leaders have
decided to sign the long,
threatened separate peace
treaty with East Germany in
the near future.
Signing of the treaty will
not by itself set off a new
crisis in Berlin.
No doubt Mr.. Khrushchev
calculates - probably cor
rectly - that the limit Of
Western reaction will be to
ignore the fact, continue in
their refusal to recognize the
East German regime and con-
tinue to exercise their rights
in Berlin as before. For the
time being it Is unlikely that
these rights , will be chal-
lenged by the Pankow gov
eminent.
Nevertheless, 1t seems in
evitable to many experienced
diplomats that signing Of
a separate treaty will eventu-
ally lead to an ultimate crisis
over Berlin.
Demand Seems Certain
Sooner or later, the East
German government, assert
ing its rights as a sovereign
state, Is certain to demand
direct negotiations with the
three occupying Western
powers over the status of the
city and access to 1t over
East German territory. And
when this happens, whatever
the Allies may decide to do,

nish light for night services.
The Rev. A. s. Parker, Sr. was
our minister, and Rev. Church
the visiting evangelist; together
they worked. This revival was
one of great Importance to
Methodism in Wanchese. It's
effects are still alive. Many of
the older people as well rs
scores of our youth follow the
crush Trail" as it was named,
and from these services came
two Methodist ministers, to say
nothing of the lay men and lay
women who still fill. their places
in the church both at home and
abroad.
We are proud Of our church
history. There seems to have
been a rise and fall in our
growth. Some years have been
better than others. In the year
of 1925 our church as a body,
decided we were able to launch
out alone and became a charge.
This we did and Rev. William
E. Hardesty was our first
preacher. He served with us four
years. During those years he
was instrumental in building
parsonage on the adjoining
church property. He never had
the pleasure of living in it; Rev.
T. E. Davis being the next
preacher occupied it first, and
all our following preachers up
to our present pastor, the Rev.
Robert E. Pullman.
We are proud of our church
and it's history. It could have
been better but today it stands
as a monument to those who
gave not only of themselves but
of their means to provide a
place of worship and study for
those who follow it's founders.
To the church building has been
added an educational building
which includes both primary and
youth facilities. There are two
assembly rooms, a kitchen, bath
rooms, and Is class rooms.
We who are older have a great
sense of pride and a deep de-
votion for our church and all it
stands for in our community.
The memories we all hold dear
of it's founders and sustainers,
but our greatest desire is that
our children and youth who fol-
low, may hold high the torch
passed on to them and that it's
light may so shine for those yet
to come that Christ's Kingdom
may come, and His will be done

Ocracoke Civic Club was or
ganized in April, 1851, with a
membership of SO. It's present
membership is go. It's purpose
was and is to promote commune
ty services. Before it's organiza-
ton the needs Of the isolated
community were fought for by
outstanding individuals like Big
Ike O'Neal, Capt. Bill Gaskill,
Amasa Fulcher, Stanley Wahab,
and others.
But the time came when in
dividual effort was not enough.
Immediately after its organiza-
ton the Club began working on
paved roads for Ocracoke. The
first step was narrow concrete
roads in the village in 1862. The
next was to get these roads
widened and highway to Hat
teras Inlet constructed 1853
1850. The third step was the
paving of the road to Northern
Pond in 1869. Back as early
as March 1868 the Club voted
unanimous support for the All
Seashore Highway Association.
In 1854 the Club began work
on getting free ferry for Hat
teras Inlet. This project was
realized in September 1857. Ad-
ditional efforts on this ferry
run have included second ferry
in 1859 and a third ferry in 1861.
Full support was given to hav-
ing the State Highway Com

One family had a beautiful sur
rey with fringe on the top.
Wanchese had the first Meth
odist Church on the Island. Many
of the people from Manteo at
tended this church, especially
during the summer. These serv-
ices were conducted by the
Circuit Riders" or local preach
ers in the community. It was
not until 1884 that we were
assigned a preacher. He was the
Rev. Joseph G. Lennon sent out
from the Virginia Conference. In
the meantime Manteo had built
a church and a parsonage. Serv-
ices were held each Sunday in
both churches unless weather
conditions interferred as our
road conditions were bad. Rev.
Lennon served this circuit four
years. He was dearly loved and
highly respected. Records show
he did much for our people. We
do not have space to name all
those early preachers and what
their ministry meant to our
church but we recall by record,
Rev. G. D. Langston. He and his
family were So loved and adj
mired that his name and those
of his children, still remain as
names for the children of the
present generation. One of his
gra n d c hill d r e n, Mrs. Mary
Langston Evans, is our Supt. of
Public Schools of Dare County
at this time.
In the year 1905 we moved to
our present church building. We
had outgrown the old church.
1t was torn down and the ma
terials saved to be used in the
new church. This change was
made during the pastorate of
Rev. A. S. Parker, ST., Services
were held at the school building
which later became the Masonic
Hall. 1t was during the sum-
mer of the year we were without
church building that a great
spiritual awakening in Wanchese
took place. The men of the
church in unity, built an arbor
in which to hold revival serv-
ices. Rude benches were built
for seats. The ground was COW
cred with rushes cut from the
marshes. These served as floor
cover. From the rafters were
hung kerosene lanterns to fur

The Methodist Church of Wan
cheese is an institution of many
years. This writer does not know
the exact year of it's origin but
it is known that through many
years it has held an important
place in the hearts of many peo-
|ple.
Much of what I have learned
|of the early history Of our
church is in answer to many
Questions. / have learned our
village was church-minded long
before there was a church
building. In many of the early
homes there was one room, set
aside for the preacher, who came
as a Circuit Rider" to, our COM
munity. This room held the MIC
est bedroom furniture, fanciest
piece work quilts made by
|grandmothers to be used only
when the preacher came. Thus it
was named, The Preachers
Room. These visits were mostly
in the spring and summer as ira
vel was by sailboat only. These
meetings were held in the
homes. have been told that the
smoke house of Woodsey DAN
iels and his wife Eliza, was Of
ten used as a place of worship.
This couple being my great
|great-grandparents show that
Methodism in Wanchese has
served at least six generations.
Our first Methodist Church
was located about 200 yards
north Of our present church
building. It stood ina lovely pine
thicket. 1t was a one-room wood
structure built up high off the
ground with a portico facing
the road. Its roof was supported
by four large columns. There
were two entrances. Inside there
were two aisles leading up to
the pulpit. On either side of
the pulpit were three short pews.
Those on the left were called
the "Amen Corner" those on the
rights were used for the choir,
or those who led the singing.
There were three rows of pews
for the congregation. The men
usually seat on the left side of
the church and the women on
the right.
The lovely pine thicket was
also used as hitehing posts. All

OCRACOKE CIVIC CLUBS
STRONG PROMOTION FORCE

Ocracoke ferry run in 1861.
In 1856 the Club cooperated
with Congressman Herbert C.
Bonner in having the old navy
docks repaired (where the Ma
tional Park Service Information
Center is now located).
In the eleven years since its
organization the Club has work
ed continuously at the problem
of mosquito control, beginning
with voluntary labor and finan-
ces, to county support, and final
ly to Ocracoke's becoming a
Mosquito Control District in
1861.
In 1862 the Club was respon-
sible for the organization of the
Ocracoke Community Cemetery
Association, secured deed for
the property, and presented it to
the Association.
In 1856 it supported r, S.
Wahab in his campaign to get
telephones for Ocracoke.
1t backed Marvin Howard,
along with other civic organi-
cations, in the first 4th of July
Parade, and all others there
after.
1t has worked with Congress-
man Bonner and the Army En-
gineers to secure various dredg-
ing projects in this area, it has
sent delegates to Raleigh and
to the General Assembly on such
projects as securing the per-
manent ferry slip for Hatteras
Inlet, beach erosion, hurricane
aid. 1t has promoted oyster
planting from time to time.
Through its efforts the first
X-Ray machine was brought
here in 1861.
The Club has provided a con-
tinuous service of answering
letters enquiring for informa-
ton about Ocracoke, including
maps, descriptions, pictures, and
printed, directories of accom-
modations and services available
for tourists.
1t has worked to find some
solution for the never-ending
problem of providing a satisfac-
tory local trash dump.
The Club is at present engag-
ed in two major projects: Sc
curing an emergency air land
ing strip (the property has al
ready been securely and a
medical clinic for the town.
Membership is open to any
adult male who wishes to join.
1t transacts many details of its
business by executive commit
tee, which meets on call. The
Club itself meets once a month
to discuss, initiate, ratify, and
veto. Meetings are in part in
formal, especially when a COM
mittee of cooks produces a meal
of tasty Ocracoke clam chow
der, oyster stew, or other dish.
There is much flexibility, but
on one point the Club is ada
mant. There is no provision in
it's bylaws or in the hearts and
minds of it's members for the
ladies'. Membership is for males
only. The Club has feted COVER
nors and other state and federal
officials, travel tours, etc., but
never has it left any loophole
open for its wives or lady
friends.
