OUR FRIEND HAS PASSED

Bible readers will, perhaps, remem-
Der the story of the man who journey
ed from Jerusalem down TO Jericho
and who fell among thieves who
almost killed him, and how he was
cared for and nursed back to health
in an institution of his country Its
the story of the Good Samaritan"
Such a friend was the late Doctor
A. Louis Frazier. When | first came
to Illinois, one of the first of my race
whom met when | reached Danv:lle
Illinois, was the good Doctor Frazier
had heard of him through Dentist
DR.. A. S. Hunter of Durham, NC,
who had known DR.. Frazier, having
met him in some twr or three
National Dental Convel..- ons through
out the country. DR., Hunter had
created quite a friendship between
himself and DR. Frazier; and he
talked about him so much that when
| decided to come TO Danville, Ill.
from Durham, NC, | decided to
look up DR.. Frazier. Intact, | had
letter directed to the Doctor Frazier
from my friend in Durham. When |
met Dr. Frazier | found him to be
just the Friend to a travelling stranger
that | had been told he was. | met
him and then | gave him the letter
from one of his Dental friends, and
that was 1T. DR.. Frazier and | started
off as FRIENDS. He had another
friend in Danville who had an office
next door to him; he was Airy.
Nelson Willis. DR.. Frazier, Atty.
Willis and were the best of friends.
We soon were often found in con-
ference, especially on matters of how
we could best tight the battles for the
freedom of our people here in Illinois.
Mr.. Willis came from Mississippi, Dr.
Frazier from Texas and | from NC.
All of us had had the same experience
with the race question and we, each
of us, had something TO stimulate our
discussion SO we began Immediately
to seek out the various ways by which
we could create better relations be-
tween the white and Negro race here
in Illinois, and intact, throughout tine
Country. We held many conferences,
and, intact, [ beleieve, we did some
good. 1t was not too long until We
brought suits in the courts of the state
to limit the discrimination that was
SO prevelant among cur people and
the white race. None of US can forget
the fact that DR.. Frazier, as President
of Illinois Elks, was our leader He
had the respect of the most of the
leading white business and profess
sional men in his city, Danville, and
we had their wishes, and in many
instances, their help. We worked to-
gether for years in this battle and we
won much to be thankful for in the
matter of better relations between
the white and the Negro race through
out Illinois and surrounding states
DR., Frazier fought a good fight on
behalf of us ALL We trust that when
he appeared before our Good Master
OF Eternity that he got the words of
welcome; That He had Fought a
Good Fight" and had finished his
work here on this earth, Come in.
DR.. Frazier was, indeed, a great leader
of his race here in Illinois, He was
great leader because we made him
such. 1t is fact that none lead
unless he has those who will follow.
He had great following among the
Elks of Illinois. and he lead them

Let the Users Pay

The principle underlying the In
terror Departments proposal for financ-
ing the purchase of new park and rec
reation areas is the reasonable one that
those who use and enjoy these outdoor
resources and facilities should be will
ing to pay for the privilege. The pro-
posal is good one, but apparently spe-
cial legislation will be necessary to carry
out the plan.
Most of the Federal reservations
now are free to the public. There have
been suggestions from time to time, in
Congress and elsewhere, that fees be
charged and the proceeds be used to
buy new lands and help maintain the
parks. Recently bill was introduced to
authorize acquisition of a number of
large tracts of potential parklands at
total cost of about $500 million, with
provision that the purchase money
be repaid to the Government through
collection of user fees"
Interior Secretary Udall has asked
the newly created Bureau of Outdoor
Recreation to study the fee proposal
with view to adoption by Interior of
broad policy" on future park purchases
and means Of paying for them. Out of
this study may come a program which
will enable patrons of the parks to play
an important role in developing and
operating the recreational facilities
which are part of the Nations ma
tural resources.

A Happy Homecoming

AS anyone who has been in military
service knows, the longest days are those
spent waiting for something to happen
just anything. In time of war, this
can induce such boredom that troops
find themselves inexplicably longing for
battle.
1t would be interesting to hear
the comments on this point of the II
naval reserviStS aboard the USS Robert
F. Keller, who are now returning to
their families after 10 months in the
Atlantic and Caribbean.
Most of the destroyer escorts time
was spent watching developments off
the Dominican Republic and Cuba or in
anti-Submarine exercises in the Atlantic.
Once she was severely buffeted by the
devaSting March coastal storm.
But for each such mildly exciting
moment, the sailors must have suffered
through countless dull ones Still, like
thousands of other reservists called up
in the Berlin crisis, these area men were
doing their bit to keep the cold war cold
1t called for considerable personal sacri-
flee, which Naval Secretary Korth rec
ognized in his welcome home-a well
come in which we would like to join.

Regarding your article
July II on Mrs. Kathleen
Summa's Noah's Ark Animal
Society. I would like to cast
my vote in favor of Mrs.
Summa's proposal to take
over the D. c. Pound. Mrs.
Summa's organization and
she herself have done excel
lent work in the area of
Washington, Maryland and
Virginia in keeping stray ami
mails from being destroyed
careleSSly and deserted.
Only recently, her agency
helped me personally with a
small animal that had been
sent to the pound by a very
thoughtless person. They ac-
ted with great speed and the
pet was returned within the
hour to my home for safe
keeping until a proper home
could be found.
This area is in great need
OF more people like Mrs,
Summa and her agency. !
certainly hope the D. c. Com
misSionerS can settle all Of
the legal problems involved
and turn the D. c. Pound to
Mrs. Summa who will always
be for the poor defenseless
strays in this area.

On Testing Last

AS a prelude to the resumed and al
together unpromiSing 17-nation Geneva
Disarmament Conference, the men of
the Kremlin have claimed that they are
morally entitled to be the last to con-
duct tests in the nuclear arms race. It
Is only fair and in all respects justified"
according to them, that they should be
granted this right. And why? Well,
because the United States, the first
power in the world to explode an A
bomb, has set off so many atomic
hydrogen detonations that the SovietS
still have long way to go to catch up,
at least in terms Of numbers.
From the Kremlin's point of view,
this may seem to be a sincere and wholly
reasonable line of argument. And
certainly the grim testing business must
be stopped sooner or later If the world
IS to head off the enormous danger of
producing proliferation and esca-
lation Of kind that could explode into
an annihilating war. But the United
States cannot and will not ignore its
own security.
nevertheless, as indicated by AM
bassador Arthur Dean-our chief del
egate at Geneva-this country does not
rule out the possibility of negotiating a
mutually acceptable agreement on the
basis Of the Kremlin's last-test PROPOSE
ton. But the agreement would have to
meet two fundamental conditions: ~
A finding by our experts that American
security would not be jeopardized by
the acceptance Of such an arrangement.
And (2) Soviet commitment to join
in an adequately policed system of con-
trolls against the possibility of clandes-
tine rluclear shots. Clearly, If these and
kindred conditions can be met, trust
worthy East-West test ban should be
possible-and beyond that a sound sys-
tenn Of general disarmament.

New Team in London

There can be no doubt that the
wholesale Shakeup of the Conservative
cabinet OF Britain'S Prime Minister
Macmillan was prompted primarily by
the political necessity of giving the gov
eminent fresh look. A succession of
by-election defeats, in some cases by
embarrasSingly large margins; increaS-
ingly strident criticism from the Labor
and reviving Liberal parties, and even
some unflattering Self-analysiS from
within the Conservative ranks them
selves have offered a clear measure of
the governments growing unpopularity
While the Conservatives large edge
In Commons appeared to give adequate
protection against no-confidence vote
and the need to call general elections
before their due date in late 1864, Mr..
Macmillan himself was acknowledging
the risks inherent in his party's current
public weakness when he referred to
the need in the present situation for a
broad reconstruction of the govern
ment." He has, by his action, borrowed
time at least, and it is most unlikely
that the immediate sharp demands from
Labor and Liberal leaders for elections
in the near future will win them any,
thing other than publicity.
Actually, the Macmillan changes Of
personnel are both interesting and po-
litically aStute. The principal scapegoat
was the able Selwyn Lloyd, who, as
Chancellor of Exchequer and once con-
sidered possible successor to the Prime
Minister himself, has been most closely
identified with the unpopular policies
on credit curbS and restraint on wage
increases. Mr.. Lloyd, who had been
Foreign Minister before taking the top
financial post, resigned by request, but
with tartly worded note defending his
policies. To head the Exchequer, how
ever, Mr.. Macmillan has chosen one of
the most able and progressive of the
younger Conservatives, Colonial Secre-
tary Reginald Maudling. Mr.. Maudling,
who has dared at times to criticize his
own party for looking backward, has
become thoughtful advocate of closer
economic and political ties between
Britain and continental Western Europe
In the course of placing greater
reliance upon the more progressive wing
of his party, Mr.. Macmillan made one
Other, highly important choice. Reviving
the title Of Deputy Prime Minister and
even creating a second title Of First
Secretary of State, Mr.. Macmillan
elevated Home Secretary r. A. (Rab)
Butler to both of these posts. Mr.. Butler,
an energetic intellectual who has dem
onstrated talented versatility in gov
eminent and politics, may thus be in
line to succeed the Prime Minister before
an election test comes along.
All in all, the cabinet changes offer
promise-aIong with the new look-of
fresh thinking and more vigorous action
at the top of the British government.

Satellite Town

The massive nature of the proposed
Reston project - development for
$4,000 persons spread over $3.50 acres
in western Fairfax County-is of itself
sufficient to command unusual atten-
ton. It's major significance, however,
lies in the new concepts of suburban
development it emissions: A completely
planned and largely Self-sufficient COM
munity containing sharp diversity Of
housing types, industry and business to
provide employment for many Of its
residents, and wide range of recrea-
tional and service facilities.
This pattern, according to its entire
preneurS, strives for a greater mixture
OF the major advantages Of both city and
suburban living, somewhat in the theory
Of the new towns" of Great Britain
and Europe. 1t is generally in line with
the goals of the Year 1000 Plan, which
suggests such concentrations in the
Washington suburbs as a means of re-
ducing the public costs of handling
substantial population increases with
maximum efficiency, while at the same
time preserving open spaces through
break in the sprawl of the more tradi-
tional types of single-family housing
projects which now dominate suburban
areas.
Immediately at issue is a new Fair
fax coming category designed to &C
commodate such large projects. 1t would
establish specific population density
for the project as a whole lin the case
OF ReSton, Is persons per acre., but
permit wide latitude within the project
to concentrate or to spread out housing
in accordance with master plan, and
without regard to lot size or to some of
the other restrictions which custom
arily prevail. The County Board of
Supervisors, under the proposal, would
retain powers of approval at progressive
stages of the plans development. This
is an approach which makes sense for
such large developments in the suburbs,
just as, in cities, special concessions are
made to large urban renewal projects
which are based on approved master
plans.
While the sponsors Of the ReSton
project have been working with county
officials for several months, however,
the development itself has received
little attention beyond professional
circles. 1t is well, therefore, that the
Board of Supervisors will hold a public
hearing tomorrow, both on the proposed
coming change and on request for in
dorSement of the master plan itself.
The coming revision was recommended
last week by the County Planning Com
mission. In addition, and understand
ably so, the Reston plan has aroused

1t is outrageous that the

the picture of massive build

If the precedent is set for
violating regulations in one
instance, on the grounds
that the structure is attrac-

may be financed by Protes-

FouIkner's Prose

E. Harry Alexander begins
his July II letter "On Bill
Faulkner" by saying Your
editorial Death in Yoknapa-
tawpha' is a fair summary
Of the works turned out by
the late William Faulkner"
Mr.. Alexander then proceeds
to say that he hasn't read
much of Faulkner's works
and that Curtis Mullen,
whom he uses as his source
OF information, hasn't read
much Faulkner either.
1t seems to me to be an
outrageous presumption for
one man who doesn't know
what he's talking about, US
ing for authority another man
who doesn't know what he's
talking about, to write a cri-
tique.
AS for William Faulkner's
complicated and sometimes
seemingly garbled prose,
nothing he ever wrote could
possibly compete in opacity
with Mr.. Alexander's observa-
tons.

that time the percentage Of

their teens had increased
more than 10 per cent over

There are critical periods
in the development of human
personality in early child
hood. They are times of spe-
cial sensitivity when depriva-
tons of certain pleasures or
opportunities have persistent
effects very difficult to
change in adult life.
This now is being demon
strated by clinical expert
ments, it is stressed in a re-
port of the life science group
Of President Kenne dy's
Science Advisory Committee,
consisting of some of the
Nations foremost psychology
lists.
The same phenomenon,
says the report, now is being
demonstrated with animals.
1t probably extends through
out nature. Systematic obser-
vations have shown that
when something like an acci-
dent to a mother resulting in
long disqualification occurs
during the sensitive period,
it may have serious results
on the adult personality,
shifting it towards chronic
distruSt, hostility and delin-
quency.
Change Varies
This change does not al
ways take place, but only
when the emotional shock
comes during a certain per-
iod. which differs from in
dividual to individual.
The relations between So
cial conditions and Develop
ment of personality have only
recently been subject to
study, the White House panel

report continues, attention
has been centered on PSYCHE
atric disorders as extremes of
personality and on the iden-
tification Of related social
phenomena.

disorders was more than
twice as large where COM
munity relations showed dis
indignation as in neighboring

not.

about socialism, "'leftistism. "
augmentation" etc. 1t is
not "socialistic" though to
accept over 81 million annu-
ally from the Federal Gov
eminent in support prices or
loans.
A $4,000 support limit
would protect all legitimate
operators, and those rugged
individualists" who have been
collecting these millions. year
after year, could exercise
their option to still be rugged.
Had there been a limita-
ton of $4,000 on annual
support payments, we would
not be witnessing the recent
spectacle of that gentleman
from Texas with his swollen
cotton allotments and passive
support from people who
knew better in high Govern
ment places. The fault is in
the method we are operating
under. There are too many
loopholeS for greedy people
to crawl through.
We hope that, by educa-
ton, the public will see the
utter folly of giving anyone
a blank check upon the

promised reduction in acre
age paintings. Make the total
amount available at a SEN
sible figure and we will see
a gradual return to sanity
in these favored agricultural
