publicanS cannot survive the
Birch brand; his efforts to
read the society out Of the
State organization have been
only partially successful.
The attempted equation Of
the Birchers and ADA i'm
plies that Robert WEIGH, the
candy manufacturer who
founded the Birch society
and still runs it, and such
ADA ornaments as historian
Arthur Schlesinger, r., are
appropriate opposite numbers.
To say the least this is open
to dispute.
ADA was founded as the
voice Of the non-Communist
liberals. It was the moving
force in the shotgun divorce
Of the fellow-travelers and
the Democratic Party during
the 40's; it went on to ex-
pound and defend liberal
doctrine with great success.
One Of its main avenues was
the now disbanded Demo-
cratic Advisory Council. Like
most crusading organizations
it has been reluctant to go
away though its mission has
been accomplished.

Votes and The Constitution

conform, in effect, to the
Governments edict concern
ing the employment Of per-
sons Of q certain color.
Does the Constitution
really give the power to the
Chief Executive to tell an
employer whom he shall hire
Just because he sells goods or
services to the Federal Gov
eminent? Nowhere in the
Constitution is anything said
on the subject. The Supreme
Court of the United States
unfortunately has in certain
cases closed the door to jul
dicial appeal by aggrieved
citizens. This completes the
picture Of what may be truly
called dictatorial power by
the Chief Executive.
Congress, however, not only
can pass a law assuring ju-
dicial appeal but also can
limit the power of the Chief
Executive to use Federal
funds as a form Of economic
blackmail.
Congress, moreover, has
the right to appropriate funds
in the first place. What Pres
ident Kennedy and Secretary
Ribicoff really have done is
to sound the death knell of
Federal aid to education. For
a large number of Democrats
will not vote for financial
aid to schools and colleges If
this Is to be used as a means
Of forcing desegregation and
otherwise controlling educa-
ton by order from Washing
ton. Also a large number of
members Of Congress of both
parties who are opposed to
the use of Federal funds in
schools and colleges where
religion Is taught now may be
confronted by the fact that,
by executive order, such
funds can be allocated or
withheld at the will of a
President.
Court orders are under
Standable in the desegrega-
ton controversy, but to use
the executive order as a
means of withholding FEEDER

the Executive are followed is
an attempt to secure con-
formity by coercion

New Radio Ears Around World

The small transistor is as
popular In Russia as else
where. Since 1948 the number
Of sets has gone up in the
U.S.S.R. by 375 per cent.
There are now 10 radios for
every 100 persons.
How long the radio dynasty
will last is difficult to esti-
mate. Television is coming I'D
like thunder. This medium
was not internationally es-
tablished in 1913. Today, it
is available, sometimes mea-
gerly, in all parts Of the
world.
The number Of daily news
papers Is rising in the new
countries. The costs Of estab-
fishing and operating a paper
are, Of course, much greater
than for radio. Decreases in
the number Of papers in
America and Europe hold
down the total. But the num-
Der Of daily papers is up 76
per cent In Asia, so per cent
in Russia. and 80 per cent in
Africa.
Movie attendance. off in
Western countries, is up 225
per cent in Russia. Wherever
housing is lacking, crowded
families go to the movies.

It is not at all strange to see
a near-naked warrior clad
chiefly in a loin cloth, carry
ing a spear In one hand and
a small japanese or German
made radio in the other.
A large percentage of these
millions whose ears are newly
tuned to radio cannot read or
write. They are not yet taught
to discriminate. They have
not learned how to evaluate
words for purpose Of accept
ance or rejection. agreement
or disagreement.
In africa the number Of
sets is up $50 per cent, or 2.3
radios per 100 persons. In
Asia the increase is $50 per
cent. now at two sets per 100
persons.
This country is beginning
to understand that the rev.
olution Of rising expectations,
which the Communists under
stood and exploited long be-
fore the Western world began
to grapple with its thorny
problems, is acute in Latin
America as well as in Asia
and Africa.
The statistics Of radio
growth help explain this &C
CELEBRATED surge of discomfort
and revolution. In South
America, the number of radio
sets Is up since 1948 by 81
per cent, or 1912 per 100
people. What this means
in poverty stricken villages,
many Of them buried in areas
without roads or transport of
any kind save the most prim-
tive, is underestimate at
our peril. New ideas, prom
ises, emotions, falsehoods and
truths pour into their illpo-
cent ears. Entertainment,
music and indictments stir
them. Their physical horizons
remain the same. Their
misery Of poverty is I'M
relieved. But they hear.
The Soviet Union long ago
set out to make radio avail
able. First, there was the
village radio. Sets have be-
come increasingly available.

CONSTANTINE BROWN
A Showdown for West Germany?

tall. Actually. say the Ger
man observers, she Is IN
worse shape today than un-
der the Czarist regimes half
a-century ago. Then, Russia
was a predominantly agricul-
tural country. 1t had a few
industries such as the Putt
Low Works near st. Peters
burg (now Leningra0 where
ordnance for the imperial
armies was the principal out
put.
A half-century ago the
accent was on agriculture.
Russia not only fed her peo-
pie sufficiently. but exported
her huge wheat surplus to
Western Europe. In exchange
she got manufactured con-
sumner goods. There were oc-
casional food shortages In
severe drought years, but
imperial Russia never ex-
perienced the many famines
killing hundreds of thousands
which Communist Russia has
suffered. These famines re-
suited from the Reds desire
to industrialize Russia as
well as from poor crops.
1t is true, say German OBJ
servers, that the USSR now
possesses a high degree Of
know-how to produce ord
nance as we'll as nuclear
weapons. But it has not &C
quired such simple skills as
producing shoes, clothes and
other essentials.
1t Is for this reason that
Comrade Khrushchev's blus-
terings and shoutings that
the USSR will overtake In 10
years the industrial output Of
the United States are not
taken seriously by the Ger
mans. And it is this realistic
insight into RuSsia's weak
neSSeS which makes the Ger
mans and French so skeptical
OF the ability of Mr.. Khru-
shchev to wage war.

Nations Phenomenal Economic Growth
Expected to Ease to More Natural Pace

ROME-Some gray clouds,
visible for the time being only
to the experts, are beginning
to becloud the heretofore blue
skies Of the West German
economy.
There are indications that
the p h e n I'm e n a German
boom may be coming to a
halt although German pro-
duction continues high and
sales abroad have receded by
only a small percentage. But
even If Europe and the United
States went into a recession,
say the economic experts,
they would still be incompar-
ably stronger than the USSR.
Experts on economics say
this economic showdown is
only natural - q growth Of
more than 5 per cent an
nually could not last indefi-
nitely.
West Germany's position is
still the strongest on this
continent. The employment
rate is still so great that at
least 100000 Italians and
Spanish workers have to be
imported each year. Gold re-
serves still stand at about
So billion.
In the meantime, despite
the sharpening of relations
between the Federal Repub-
lie and the Soviet Union, the
Russians are placing large
orders in the Bonn republic
for factory toolings and some
consumers goods. During
1861 the amount ordered by
the Soviet Union reached
nearly 5000 million. The
Russians expect, despite the
tensions, to increase that fig
ure this year.

DAVID LAWRENCE

A passion to win the votes
OF minority groups seems to
have taken precedence in the
policies Of President Kennedy
over the plain requirements
OF the Constitution. It also
seems to have affected Abra-
ham Ribicoff, Secretary Of
Health, Education and We'll
fare, who is about to enter
the race for United States
Senator in Connecticut.
Congress has passed q law
giving financial aid to schools
in what are known as Fed
orally impacted areas" where
children Of military and 9TH
er Government personnel are
educated. The statute doesn't
say a word about the desegre-
cation question. Yet the Pres
ident now has ordered the
Department Of Health, Edu-
cation and Welfare to with
hold Federal funds from the
schools in those areas unless
they are desegregated.
Members Of Congress are
calling 1t "blackmail of the
highest order" Newspapers
in some Of the districts af-
fected are calling it a viola
ton Of the Constitution.
Secretary Ribicoff Is re-
ported by the Southern
School News - an tnforma-
ton service on education -
as having said two months
ago that funds would not be
withheld because Congress
had not made desegregation a
condition for receipt Of the
money and that, until Con-
greSs did so. he would con-
tinue to disburse the funds
to segregated as well as
desegregated schools alike"
About q year ago, Mr.. Ribi-
coff said:
II think 1t is q tragedy to
put on the back Of education
the problems Of everything,
including the problem Of civil
rights"
But last week q ruling was
nevertheless issued by Sec
rotary Ribicoff to withhold
funds from areas where the
schools are not desegregated
within the next year.

reSs town in the days Of the
Kaisers. The work is nearly
finished and will be COM
pleted when the pipelines
carrying Romanian and Rus
sian oil through Austria
have been finished.
1t is from IngcIstadU that
the Russians expect to be
able to deluge Europe with
their black gold, rendering
the positions Of our oil COM
panieS increasingly difficult.
Russia is In a position to sell
crude oil for at least 10 per
cent below the price Of the
American British Dutch
companies. These pay heavy
royalties to the governments
Of Iraq, Saudi Arabia and
Iran on whose lands the oil
fields are. The SovietS are
able to undercut their COM
petitors' price because they
have no middlemen's COM
missions and they are salts
fled with whatever profits
can be made so long as they
are able to hurt the capital
ist countries.
Germany realizes that this
competition has important
political undertones, but like
Italy. which Is heavily en-
gagged in purchasing Russian
oil, 1t feels that 1t can get a
good bargain and needs no
cash for the Russian oil. At
the same time, the frantic
efforts Of the Soviet Union
to do business with the Fed
eral Republic. despite politi-
cal tensions over Berlin and
German unity, Is another
proof to the German and
other European observers of
the Russian economy's shaky
position.

Millions in UnderdeveIoped Countries
Joining Broodcosting,s Audience

Billions Of ears are being
reached by propagandists Of
competing ideologies, by in
formation programs. news
analysts, rabble rousers Of
dishonest virulence, and
earnest vendors Of truth.
Ideas. claims, assertions,
lies. half-truths, facts and
honest words are being flung
INCREASINGLY about the earth.
The air waves are never en-
tirely silent.
But how much true COM
munication there is, and how
many minds are stimulated to
think and weigh facts, Is i'm
possible to estimate. The un-
easy feeling persists that
there Is more Inflammation
than meditation.
A recent report by the
United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Or
ganization provides statistics
on the growth (1948 to 1861
Of the four basic communica-
ton media: newspapers, ra-
dio, television and movies.
The conclusions are startling.
They are not reassuring, yet
the potential for reinsurance
Is there.
Radio has grown with all
the rapidity Of Jacks bean
stalk. On the basis Of sets per
each 100 Inhabitants in the
world, broadcast communities
ton has grown 85.7 per cent.
Only in Australia, New Zea-
land and other Pacific is
lands has the number Of sets
decreased.
It Is the concentration Of
growth that Is Of the most
interest to the observer who
earnestly hopes for peace and
understanding based on the
acquiring Of information. In
the underdeveloped countries,
including, Of course, the one
time colonial territories, many
millions more ears are listen
ing to radio than ever before.
In all Of the African coun-
tries, natives in remote vii
lagos have acquired radios.

these inconsistencies Of Mr..

Each time the Executive

stitution weakened, no mat

It is being asserted here
that, since legislation on the
subject of desegregation
can't get through Congress,
only the President, acting on
his own, can accomplish the
change-in other words, that
1.-THE end justifies the means"
This Is the cry that used to
be heard when an impas-
stoned and unreasoning
group Of citizens lynched an
alleged murderer without
waiting for q trial. The argu-
ment always was: why wait
for a court order when he's
guilty, anyhow"
Scarcely q month goes by
that this argument, in one
form or another, isn't being
used here with respect to
circumventing the Cunstitu-
ton.
The school Of thought
which is gaining headway
here these days is the one
that believes an executive
ruling can get around the

tive order declaring that

Evergreens Need
Winter Protection

In preparing for winter, don't
neglect your cvergreens II. c.
Buckingham, State Forester of the
Maryland Department of Forests
and Parks, advises that evergreens
should be protected as fully as pos
sible against drying winds, fluc-
tuating temperatures, and storm
damage.
Water the plants thoroughly at
7 to 10 day intervals; continue this
as late in the year as soil condi-
lions permit. Spread thick mulch
of straw or similar material over
the root area: this will help stabil-
ize soil temperatures and conserve
moisture.
Erect a screen of burlap, canvas,
or woven evergreen bOughS around
the plant to shield it from the sun
and wind. To protect up-right-groW-
ing evergreens against mutilation
by storms, wind stout cord spiral
ly around the plant from bottom
to-top and top-to-bottom, fastening
it securely at the base of the trunk.

hope and without God. Notice that
Paul puts together two separa-
tons: from Christ, and from the
commonwealth of Israel"-that
is to say, the association of the
people who know God, and desire
to do his will. To be cut off from
Gods Son and cut off from Gods
children, is all the same thing.
To say Gas some have tried to
say): / want to be a Christian but
not to belong to the church, is the
same as saying: 1 want to have
the love of Christ but do not wish
to share it. 1t is the same as saw
ing: l love Christ but do not
love those whom he loves. Anyone
can see how inconsistent that is.
He is our Peace
Now for Sentence 2: verse 10.
The key words are Sin Christ
Jesus" and drought near in the
blood of Christ" We are members
of Christ's fellowship, not because
we belong to the fellowship in the
beginning but because our rela-
ton to Christ puts us into right
relations with one another. To put
this another way: we are not
Christians because we are church
members. We are church men,
bers because we are Christians.
Two strangers on a bus may find
that they are both friends of the
same person. This at once links
their lives and minds; the strong
er their affection for their mutual
friend, the stronger their attrac-
ton to each other. And if this
friend of each of these (hitherto)
strangers has risked his life for
each of them, their bond is
stronger still. What links Chris
tan to Christian, believer to be-
lever, is that Christ gave his life
for each of them.
Sentence 3: verses 14-16. Christ
is "our peace" The underlying
and almost unSpoken reality here
is the bitter race prejudice be-
tween Jew and Gentle. Paul is
saying that Christ is the one bond
strong enough to bring together
in harmony people - individuals
and classes-who naturally" are
bitter and scornful enemies. Sem
tence a: verses 17-18. Men who
had in times past prayed against
each other, so to speak, prayed
selfishly, now pray in one Spirit
to the same Father.
A place for God to live
Sentence 5: verses 1922. Paul
now leaves with us a simple pic
ture that a child can understand.
The church - the fellowship of
those Christ loves-is like a build
ing. Not just any building, but
residence for God. One brick does
not make a home; no brick is
without its place and use. The
church-the people who make it
up, who are the church - is a
home for God on this earth.
