Senate Ties It's Hands on CIoture
Then Gives Liter0cy Bill Good Vote
DORIS FLEEsoN

Former President Eisen-
hover has been fretting
about modern devotion to the
twist in preference to the
minuet. The United States
Senate has responded with q
rather unusual combination
~ OF both on civil rights leg
islation.
sast9A Senate majority fiHst
y went through the customary
stately PAGES in defense Of
unlimited debate, thus block
ing q Federal law to provide
that q sixth-grade educa-.
ton was an automatic
literacy qualification for vot-
ing.
A much bigger majority
then seized the opportunity
vouchsafed 1t by Q technical
: maneuyer to record its over
whelming sentiment in favor
spf the bill itself.
80 As a practical matter, what
the Senate said was that If
: ithad not tied its hands with
the unlimited debate (clo-
ture) rule it had just voted
again to defend, it would re-
lease the literacy bill from
= bondage. The only real Ques-
: ton remaining is whether
anybody is listening to it

traffic fatalities is due to
mechanical failure Of the
vehicle. Adequate investiga-
ton Of vehicles Is nowhere q
rule. Tires which had been
repaired when they should
have been discarded have
failed and caused fatalities.
That thousands Of automo-
biles in every city are every,
day and night operating on
unreliable tires is undisputed.
If one Of these fails and
produces q wreck In which
one or more persons die, can
this be called ''an accident?"

Communist Diplomats Reported ToIking
OF u. S.-SoViet Agreement on Berlin

ROME. - Russian and
satellite diplomats are more
communicative in the Eter-
nal City than elsewhere in
Europe. They freely predict
q RusSian-American agree
ment over Germany during
the summer.
The reason for loosening
Of the tongues Of the Com
munist diplomats is that they
feel more at home in Rome
since the organization Of the
new left-of-center govern
ment IN Italy. In interna-
tional affairs Premier Fan
FAM has the solid backing Of
the Nenni Socialists and the
tacit assistance Of the Com
munists under Togliatti lead
ershtp.
The Prime Minister'S policy
is clear-he will remain with
in the NATO coalition, pro-
vided there Is no conflict.
Neither the leftwing Social
lists nor the Communists
desire Q break with the West
ern powers.
The presence Of American
forces and Allied bases In
Italy Is remunerative In terms
Of cash. The Italian people,
who are doing better than
many others on this contin-
ent, show little, II any, inter-
est In either international or
domestic policies. Hence the
politicians have the field to
themselves. Prime Minister
Fanfani, who has abandoned
the center policies Of his
Christian Democrat Party, Is
Q strong advocate Of q drastic
reduction Of armaments. In
this he is far closer to the
goals Of Washington and
London than Of Paris and
Berlin.
The French and German
governments-as well as the
bulk Of their citizens-are as

anxious as we are for q
lasting peace. But, unlike
English-Speaking people, they
are convinced this can be
achieved not by disarma-
ment but by preparedness to
meet any threat. They know
from past experience that
the old Roman slogan, IF
you want peace, prepare for
war;" Is as true In this nu-
clear age as 1t was in the
longbow age. No law, ma
tional or international, can
be effective unless there Is
q strong implementing force.
The Russians know this
well. and since World War
II have increased their con-
ventional forces while de-
veloping nuclear bombs at
the expense Of consumer
goods. They believe in power
in the total spectrum of its
forms, their demands since
the end Of the war for
total disarmament notwith-
standing.
After IL years Of cold war
and craftsmanship, our Eu-
ropean allies with the ex-
ception Of italy, feel strongly
that partial or total dis
armament would be a mis-
take unless the Soviet Union
adhered to this principle
with utmost sincerity, which
they do not believe to be the
case. Russian arSenals, as
well as those in Czechoslo-
vakia, are producing every
year both conventional and
nuclear weapons. The Krem-
lin has never budged from
its goal Of world domination.

Yet it would be q fallacy to

have Travelled through West
ern Europe must admit that
there is nothing further from
the minds Of the Germans,
French and the smaller allies
than to embark on another
war. They have all learned
what the devastations Of q
non-nuclear war mean. Most
cities and villages In Western
Europe bear the scars Of
blockbusters as a reminder Of
it. Yet there is less apparent
fear Of RuSSia's might than
there is in the United States,
which has had to suffer no
outrages on its own territory,
The antics Of Washington
and London are watched
with skepticiSm by Western
Europeans. Nothing good re-

Criticism Of Actions Called Import0nt
And Unconnected With Personal Views

Who are the real friends
Of President Kennedy? are
they the people who resent
criticism Of his policies and
want it suppressed. or are
they the critics who point out
errors while there is still time
for the President to correct
them before he faces an elec-
ton in which the voters rem
der their verdict?
Letters from a small mi
: nority Of readers sometimes
indicate q closed mind AN
mwillingneSs to examine
criticism they dislike and a
; tendency to consider it as
somehow personally un-
friendly to the official who
; is criticized.
It 50 happens that this
correspondent, for example,
has always regarded John r.
Kennedy as q man Of engag-
ing personality. But the Hk-
ing that q newspaper writer
has for q President should
have nothing to do with the
serious business Of pointing
out errors In public policy.
The responsibility Of q writer
Is very much the same as the
responsibility Of q person who
holds office. The people are
not interested In ones per-
sonal preferences but In the
truth about governmental
actions and policies. Public
officials pay far more heed
! to criticism that comes from
conscientious critics than they
do to the plaudits that come
from sychophantic friends
and worshipping supporters.
The other day, an editorial
writer Of the Wall Street
Journal wrote:
- The idea seems to be il

"If our personal views on
Mr.. Kennedy are Of the
slightest interest to anybody,
we find him personally very
hkable and have considerable
respect for him. But that is
no reason for us to applaud
his actions In the steel-price
affair, in which we think he
was badly mistaken - any
more than q different view Of
Mr.. Kenned personally
would have been cause for
not applauding his decision
to resume nuclear tests, in
which we think he did the
only wise thing for the coun-
try. Policy and not personali-
ty is the measure"
Democracy can function
best when the electorate is
adequately informed. These
are days when highly effec-
tive use is made Of television,
radio and the press to pre-
sent the administrator side
on public questions. But what
Of the "other side"?

This rate is not likely to

A quick settlement would
bring a sharp drop in orders
and shipments. On the other

and led by tan stars Jerry Hank

invade Madison Square Garden in
a bid for National Invitational
Tournament championship, March
1924.
The Ramblers early last week
accepted a bid to play in the NIT
and celebrated the honor by clob-
bering st. Norbert of Wisconsin,
1852, in a game here.
In the game, Les Hunter and
Miller were the high scorers, tally
ing 10 points apiece. But Hardness
shared starring role as playmaker
and defensive strategist.
Hardness did not make his usual
heavy scoring contribution because
he was pulled out of the lineup,
along with other first stringers,
after the Ramblers gained a Ga
25 point advantage at the half.
In the NIT, Loyala will try to
dethrone Providence, the defending
tourney champion.
Currently ranked 10th in the ma
ton Loyola leads the nation in
scoring with a 91.9 game average
and had won IT of 10 games
