Boys Petition Suffers
From Adult Hesitation

AS many a dedicated citizen
has learned, people who are
handed a petition to sign often
react as though it were a snake.
That's why Robert Moody, II.
of 9002 Manchester road, Sill
yer Spring, wants some pub
hcity for his petition. In two
months of knocking on doors
in Takoma Park, Nd, he has
been able to garner only So
names Of residents willing to
back his drive for an end to
pollution in Rock Greek and
Sligo Creek.
Possibly the youngest petit
toner in an area that aboundS
with them, Robert confeSSeS
that the poSSum population of
nearby Maryland is the cause
Of some of his troubles.
"Some of the people started
turning me down because the
posSums were coming out Of the
Sligo Greek area and getting
into their yards" he said. But
cleaning up the creek won't in
crease the number of posSums.
Robert, Just graduated from
Takoma Elementary School,
will start in the seventh grade
at Takoma Junior High in the
fall.
His petition was born soon
after he and 10 other young

the aim of conserving nature

portant was the failure to bring
out the great significance of
key rhythmic cells; the quartet,
after all. is dedicated to Haydn
and makes use of some of the
techniques most closely aSso-

ing of those cells might well
have been more accurate.
The Schumann quintet with
Mr.. Firkusny joining at the

a serious and persistent rhyth-

Dvorak seems to be slowly
slipping from the repertory.
This is a shame, and it is most
unfair to look upon him as a

with a little local coloring by
way of camouflage. The A

Troubled Ghono

While President Kwar1e Nkrunah
remains diScreetly under cover, fearful
of the aSsaSsin's bullet that so often has
threatened him, new and more damning
charges pile up against the terrorist re-
gime that now wracks Ghana. Half
dozen years of oppression, economic
chaos and wholesale arrests have reduced
this once-prosperouS and hopeful new
democracy" to state of shock.
Latest to inveigh against the self
styled savior is K. A. Gbedemah, one
time finance minister who, like so many
others, was hoodwinked in the days
when Nkrumah was leading the fight
for freedom from Great Britain.
Mr.. Gbedemah, 6wisely, is not in
Weighing inside Ghaila. He is safely in
exile, having escaped one Jump ahead of
a death penalty invoked against politi-
cal enemies. From his vantage point in
Togo, Mr.. Gbedemah wonders what has
become of three other former high gov
ernment officials. Could it be that they
have been quietly done away with in a
dungeon, without the nicely Of trial?
The former finance officer, who saw
a Ghana treasury of $3.50 million dwindle
away, rather thinks so. And he also
charges that thousands were arrested,
along with looting and raping, in Nkru-
mah'S vengeance for the most recent
attempt on his life. In rallying his fell
lows in exile to another day, Mr.. Gbede-
nah shapes up as realist. "The end is
approaching of your intrigues and de-
ception Of the people," he warned the
Ghana despot. Could he also be pro-
phetic in adding: "The people will not
have long to waltz"

On the Collision Course

Reports from Moscow strongly Sug-
gest that the Soviet Unions tightly
controlled newspapers have received or
ders from the Kremlin to comment at
great length, and frequently, on the Ber-
lin situation. AS result, written in
quite Strident tones, the party-line edl-
torials have already begun to multiply
at a rapid rate, and they leave no room
for doubt that Nikita KhruShchev has
undertaken to prepare and condition the
Russian people for great new crisis
with the West-a crisis that could con-
ceivably explode into warfare of the
grimmest type and dimensions.
When and if it comes, of course,
this crisis will be entirely of the Krem-
Inns making. Indeed, as Mr.. Khrushchev
himself has repeatedly indicated, ad
infinitum and ad nauseam, 1t will be
deliberately precipitated by the Soviet
Unions decision to sign separate
"peace treaty" with the puppet East
German regime And why should such
a treaty" be dangerous? Well, the an
Swer is simply this: That it might grave
ly imperil the undeniable war-won
rights that France, Britain and the
United States have in Berlin and on the
road to Berlin.
The highly disquieting thing about
all this-judging from the current out
pouring of the government directed So
Wet editorial writers-iS that Mr.. Khru-
Shchev and his co-conSpirators In the
Kremlin apparently think that they are
on safe ground when they toy with the
Berlin issue, as they are doing. They do
not seem to feel, or even suspect, that
they are playing with dynamite when
they challenge the rights, duties, re-
SponSibilitieS, vital interests and self
respect of the United States of America
(not to mention France and Brittany in
Berlin.
Certainly, although Mr.. Khrushchev
has at his command lot OF power,
somebody within his entourage in the
Kremlin (perhapS editorial writers for
Pravda or Izvestia) ought to advise him
in the Sharpest language that his brink
manShip may lead to the deadlieSt kind
of conformation between the Soviets
and the United States. Our two coun-
tries, quite obviously, are on a collision
courSe-and we will surely crash into
each other, with incalculably tragic
consequences, if Moscow does not really
understand that we mean to stand firm.
This is what our President has said,
what our Secretaries of State and De-
fense have said, and what our House of
Representatives has said, unanimously.
If the men of the Kremlin still are ready
to invite the collision, they will have it.
They ought not to delude themselves on
that score.

Violence and Ole Miss

In the rush and volume of news from
Mississippi, precious little publicity has
been accorded the admirable declara-
tion made there last week by some 125
leading business and professional men
representing all parts of the State. This
lack of notice is unfortunate. For the
statement certainly merits widespread
attention as measure of the true feel
ings of literate and mature people in the
Deep South-a region that has been at
rociouSly caricatured here in our own
country as we'll as behind the Iron Cur
tain.
Actually, of course the situation
down there is neither quite so simple nor
quite so bad as depicted by the caricatur-
lists, including Izvestia'S and Pravda's in
Moscow. On the contrary, as made clear
in the declaration of the civic leaders,
there can be no doubt that the States
responsible elements in both races (ele-
ments which certainly constitute maj
ority of the population) feel a sense Of
dismay, shame and great unease over
what has happened in connection with
the enforced registration of James Mere
dith in the University Of Mississippi.
The declaration, a Succinct one,
should be read with care by all Ameri-
cans in the North who harbor prejudices
against their Southern brethren. And
it should be read, too, by any Southerner
who feels ready to blow his top when
ever he is confronted with some de-
segregating move that infuriates him.

people that the Supreme Court decision
of 1854 requiring the integration Of races

We are grieved at events that have taken
place at the University.
We recognize that enforcement of law
and order and not mob violence is absolutely
essential. -.
Violence at any point in our beloved State
must not be permitted.
We urge all our Mayors and local pub

The Presidents S Prestige

In his political speech-making swing
over the week end, President Kennedy
engaged in real political gamble. For
beyond the usual plugs for party candi-
dates, Mr.. Kennedy put up the record of
his own administration for vote of con-
fidence in the November elections. AS he
said in Cincinnati: II am asking Ohio
and all the Nation to show confidence
:. in the progress we are making, con-
fidence in the direction we are taking,
confidence in the future of this Nation"
Thus, the President is placing his
own prestige squarely on the line when
he is not a candidate for office. He is
saying, in effect, that the vote for men,
bers of Congress this year will be vote
either for or against his own perform
ance to date. And that is something
which few Presidents would care to do.
Certainly tradition is against him. In
every off-year election since 1884 the
party in power has lost seats in Congress.
Presumably, however, Mr.. Kennedy
feels that the fate of his domestic pro-
gram-and possibly his own prospects in
1964-are at stake. The Congress which
has failed to support so many Of his
major proposals is of course already
overwhelmingly controlled by the Presi-
dents own party. So the issue OF party
control is not open to him as direct
avenue of attack. He obviously feels that
the necessity of increasing the Demo-
cratic margin is so urgent that he is will
ing to risk his own prestige on the out
come.
It is daring gamble. If Mr.. Ken
nedy is right in anticipating the effects
of his personal Intervention in Novem-.
Der, the gamble should pay off. If not, he
very probably will suffer more than set
backs in Congress. He may, in that event,
also have damaged his own chances for
reelection two years from now.
