1t was agreed that the UN
representative in the Congo,
Robert Gardiner, should try to
persuade Adoula to make the
first conciliatory move - on the
understanding that if Tshombe
did not respond, the skies would
fall in on him.
One factor in this decision was
the peril in which the U. N. bond is
sue stands in Congress. Sanctions
on TShombe probably would have
killed it. Without the bond issue,
the U. N. almost certainly could not
continue in the Congo beyond De-
cember 3l-and Tshombe could
expect to hold out that long.
A UniloteroI Gesture
So Gardiner took the plan to
Adoula. 1t was not an easy job to
persuade the Congolese Premier
to make a unilateral gesture of
friendship and trust in Tshombe.
But he had no real choice. He
agreed.
On July %, Adoula officially
asked the U. N. to provide him a
team of jurists to draw up a
federal constitution for the Congo.
He said he wanted autonomous
states united by legal ties of a
federal character"
This is essentially what Tshombe
has demanded, though it does
not go all the way with him.
Adoula also specified that there
should be common institutions
responsible for certain mat
ters such as currency, army, and
diplomatic representation.
Given the Congo's many dis
parate tribes, a loose federal
system has much logic to recon-
mend it. But it must have been
a bitter pill for Adoula to have,
in effect, admitted defeat. If he
had been able to force Tshombe
to crawl back to Leopoldville, he
would have been a national hero.
On July 81, three days after
Adoula's capitulation, Thant and
his Congo Advisory Committee
here decided against a new series
of Security Council meetings
aimed at economic sanctions. In
stead, Thant appealed anew for
an end to Katanga'S secession.
Cancellation, not pressure, was the
formulation now.
Anti TShombe delegates are
glum. Considering Tshombe's past
performance, they feel there is
little hope he will respond to
conciliation.
Others insist this is precisely
the right psychological approach.
Whether it is or not, the U. N. is
giving it try.

projects, was shot and killed.
The obstacles which Negroes
have faced in registering are
varied and imaginative.
In Georgia, a registrar dictated
a section of the Constitution so
rapidly that a Negro college grad
uate could not copy it to prove
his literacy.
In Louisiana, registrar turned
down a Negro because, where sex
was to be designated, the ap-
plicant underlined Mr." instead
of circling it. A new attempt to
register was denied because these
cards cost about a dime apiece"
Sporadic Progress
Since the white South around
the turn of the century purged
Negro voters who had gained the
ballot through Federal pressure,
Negroes have made progress in
regaining their rights only in
sporadic bursts.
The new weapon that already
is promising to do the job is one
forged just two years ago and only
now being tested in the slow ac-
ton of the courts. 1t is the Civil
Rights Act of 1860.
The Fourteenth Amendment did
not do the job.
After the disfranchisement OF
Negroes around 1900, they were
so effectively barred that even
in the 1930S they had no voice
in Southern Democratic primaries,
the real elections in the South.
The 1914 Supreme Court de-
cision outlawing the white

And next Monday. August 13, is

This is a problem being tackled
at the SCLC's school in McIn-
tosh County. Ga. where Negro
community leaders are learning
how to teach functional literacy
and how to instruct others on
the intricacies of registering with
hostile voting officials.
Other problems of registration
are not so easily overcome.

Kennedy Remarks

Into the case on Wednesday
stepped a powerful force. Presi-
dent Kennedy was asked at his
press conference If he planned any
action to preserve Negro rights
in Albany"
The answer started off calmly
enough: "We have been in
touch :" and then moved
quickly to firmness: LET me say
I find it wholly inexplicable why
the city council Of Albany will
not sit down with the citizens
of Albany who may be Negroes,
and attempt to secure for them
in a peaceful way their rights"
Then he made the point again
more stingingly: 1.-THE United
States Government is involved in
sitting down at Geneva with the
Soviet Union. I can't understand
why the government of Albany
cannot do the same for American
citizens"
Replied Albany Mayor Asa D.
Kelly in effect: "If the outside
agitators whose purpose it is
to turn upside down our city will
leave we will be willing to discuss
problems with local Negroes"
As the impasse over demonstra-
tors continued a Federal Judge
in Georgia continued to hear an
appeal to ban the demonstrations.
He was Judge j. Robert Elliott.
The city is seeking a Federal ban
on protest marchers, picketing,
economic boycotts and demonstra-
tions. Judge Elliott granted a
similar appeal of the city on July
20 but it was set aside by a
United States Court of Appeals
judge. 1t was the city's argument
that the demonstrations had
caused great crowds to gather in
the city, prevented the operation
of normal business and created
a situation which denied white
citizens equal protection under
law.

funds for investment in new in
dustries and for the expansion of
old ones. The savings of individual
Americans. invested in new and
old industries, is also a prime fac
tor in keeping our system free. In
dividual savers investors pro-
vide a free capital market. Other
wise, the government steps in
and then we have the austerity,
the scarcity, the one-notch-above-
poverty for everyone of socialist
and communist systems.
This is where our homegrown
bomb appears, in the form of in
credible and increasing govern
ment spending. 1t is this vast
spending by the government which
keeps people from saving enough.
You can get all kinds of reasons
from New Frontier economists for
people not saving, but they never
get around to the real reason be-
cause it would reveal Immediately
the fallacy in their philosophy of
"let the government do it."
First, there is the whole idea of
the socialist welfare state, of which
we have adopted already goodly
portion. If you can sell people the
idea that the government will take
care of them in their old age or
when they are sick, clearly they
won't bother to save money for
these contingencies.
Second, when taxes to support
this welfare state and other wild
spending schemes take anywhere
from 20 to 80 cents of everybody's
dollar, it is impossible to save as
much as one should.
Third, when the government con-
sistently spends great sums of
money and borrOws large parts of
it-as il has been doing for rs out
of the las. 30 years-it causes in
flation. Imitation means that no
matter how many dollars a person
earns, each dollar constantly buys
less and less-is always losing
some of its value. So people spend
rather than save because they want
to get as much for their dollar as
they can before it loses more of
its value.
Government spending is time
bomb that can blow up in our
faces unless we find a way to de-
activate it.

Maryland is entitled to one more
