Striking liza
Chiefs 10 Talk
oSenateA Aide

NEW YORK, Dec. 20 (AP)-
A Senate investigation subcom-
mittee representative has indi-
vidual conferences set up for
today with three leaders of the
striking International Long
shoremen's Association, includ-
ing Anthony (Tough Tony
Anastasia, brother of slain gang
leader Albert Anastasia.
Committee counsel Jerome
Alderman did not disclose the
purpose of his meetings. But
Thomas w. (Teddy) Gleason,
lila executive vice president
and one of the three to be
questioned, said he thought 1t
had to do with the unions
strike which has tied up ship
ping in all major Atlantic and
Gulf Coast ports from Maine,
to Texas.
The third LA leader with
whom Mr.. Alderman plans to
confer is the unions president,
William v. Bradley.
Mr.. Anastasia, once sus-
pended from the LILA for al
legged misconduct, is now q
vice president Of the union
and the Brooklyn waterfront
boss.
First Strike Violence
Mr.. Alderman, whose boss is
Senator John L. Mcclellan,
Democrat Of Arkansas, subcom-
mittee chairman. announced
his conferences yesterday after
these other developments in
the lila strike: r--
An independent dock worker
who crossed lila picket lines
in Galveston, Tex, was shot
in the foot while unloading a
banana boat. 1t was the first
violence reported in the seven
day-old strike. -
Labor Secretary Writ said
both sides agreed to a study
Of manpower issues in the
strike before it began but dis
agree as to "how long a time
should be given that study"
The manpower problem in
wolves the size of longshoremen
work gangs. Ship owners say
the present gang size Of 20 men
is "featherbedding" and want it
cut to II. The longshoremen
say the industry already has too
much automation and that they
will not negotiate away their
jobs.
Curran wires Owners
Joseph Curran. president Of
the National Maritime Union,
whose $4,000 membets are hon.
oring lila picket lines, wired
ship owners to urge resumption
of joint negotiations. None have
been held since the walkout
Sunday of $4,000 longshoremen.
The American Export liner
/, Constitution arrived in New
! York today from the Mediter-
/. ranean and its 500 officers and
crewmen began walking off in
support Of the longshoremen's
strike.
The crew belongs to the Ma
tional Maritime Union and the
officers to the Brotherhood of
Marine Officers, an NMU af-
Ifiliate.
Mr.. Writ met individually
yesterday with representatives
of the New York Shipping Asso-
citation. an employer group rep
resenting the ship owners, and
today plans to meet with lila
negotiators, headed by Mr..
Gleason.
Meanwhile. three million
pounds of potatoes, which to
South Carolina farmers repre-.
sent seed for a crop worth
nearly $40 million. began to rot
in the holds of a freighter
which Charleston, S. c., long
shoremen have refused to un-
load. =
The seed potatoes, in the
holds 20 days since being
loaded in~Canada, may be writ
ten off as a loss unless they
are unloaded within the next
five or six days, the ships cap
tain and its agent agreed.

The Philippines has pressed
for negotiations on North Bor-
neo since 1t made formal claim
to the territory in a note last
June %. The British have re-

BorneO Leasing Disputed

The Philippine claim TO
North Borneo is based on the
contention that the former
Sultan of Sulu leased-and did
not sell-the territory in 1873
TO the forerunners OF the Brit
ish North Borneo Co. The ter
ritory subsequently was handed
over 10 the British government.
Sulu is now part Of the Philip
pines.
The claim has led TO friction
between the Philippines and
Malaga. the centerpiece Of a
proposed Malaysia federation
with the three Borneo terri
tories and Singapore.

Charlottesville Schools
Seen at New Crossrood

NASHVILLE. Tenn. Dec. 20
AP). - An assessment Of
public school desegregation in
Charlottesville, Va. was pre-
sented here yesterday. 1t por-
trays that city as moving
from crisis to crossroads"
The evaluation Of Char
lottesville's desegregation proc
cess from 1855 TO 1862 was
prepared for a group Of South
ern desegregation leaders
meeting in a Nashville confer
ence on THE South: The Ethi-
cal DEMANDS Of Indignation"
The avowed purpose OF the
conference, sponsored by the
Southern Regional Council and
the Fellowship OF Southern
Churchmen, is TO improve race
relations.
THE crisis out OF which
Charlottesville came In l95s-59
was followed by a three-year
period of tokenism, a school
board policy on containment
and a gradual acceptance In
the community OF the new sit
uation," the report said.
81 No Crisis
That period has come TO an
end. and Charlottesville finds
itself at a crossroads again.
There Is no crisis atmosphere
and probably none will devel-
op, but the time has arrived
when new and crucial deci-
sion must be made"
The report said the new de-

cisions recently became neces-
sary when a Federal appeals
court invalidated key features
OF the school assignment
plan, and THE crowded condi-
ton Of Lane High School led to
mounting pressure from all
sides TO expand the school sys-
tenn"
Also discussed In the report
are the private schools operated
In Charlottesville under tuition
grants from the State.
While questioning the con-
stitutionality of the private
schools, the report says: Most
observers agree that public
school desegregation has gone
smoothly In part because Of
the existence Of the tprivate)
schools . When the schools
Opened. they were widely re-
garded as safety valves, maxi
ing unlikely an explosion in
the public de segregate d
schools"
Studied as Example
The Charlottesville desegre-
cation process was selected for
study as an example OF prob
lens experienced throughout
the South.
The authors OF the report,
Paul M. CASTOR and Thomas
T. Hammond. trace In detail
the history of desegregation
there, including the part played
by virginia's massive resist
lance program.

Israel Censured

Although Prime Minister Ben
Gurion has assailed it as an insult" the
cenSuring resolution just adopted by the
United Nations Security Council ought
to be taken very much to heart by the
ISraelis. 1t has been enacted by a vote
of 10 to (France abstaining), and it
thus amounts to a virtually unanimous
judgment. In the circumstances, Israel
can ill afford to belittle it, or shrug it
off, as if it were nothing more than the
work of Arab enemies.
The truth is that this resolution is
particularly weighty and meaningful for
the reason that its chief sponsors have
been Britain and the United States,
both good friends of Israel. Moreover, al
though it also deploreS Syria'S provoca-
tive and hostile acts, the cenSure in
volved specifically, and with special
emphasis, declares that the Israeli at
Evening star., 1962-04-12

tack of last March 1917 constitutes a
fragrant violation" of the Security
Councils 1856 ruling-a ruling that
condemned" the ISraeliS for launching
military action in breach of the gen.
eral armiStice agreements, whether
or not undertaken by way of
retaliation =.
In arguing against all this, of
course, Israel has made much of the
point-an understandable and not in
effective one-that If any of its Arab
neighborS take potShotS at it, it has a
right to strike back. The fact is, how
ever, that the armiStice agreements
oblige it to restrain itself (the same
obligation applies to the other Side)
and resort to the U. Ms supervisory
truce organization when and if pro-
voked. The Security Council has voted
so overwhelmingly against the ISraeliS
on that ground that Mr.. Ben-Gurion, in
stead of being 'inSulted," would be well
advised to consider the real significance
of the action.

Literocy Tests

There is no doubt that some South
ern States, perhaps half dozen, use
literacy tests as a device to diScrim-
mate against would-be Negro voters
Senator Erwin says the problem is acute
in 129 Southern counties out of 3,071
counties in the country. Whatever the
precise extent of the practice, however
it is an abuse which should not be
tolerated And it can be eradicated
without bypaSSing the Constitution for
reasons of convenience or political
expediency.
The Department of Justice now has
authority to bring suits on behalf of
individuals improperly denied the right
to vote by State officials. In his testi-
mony before Senator Ervin'S Subcom-
mittee, however, Attorney General Ken
nedy complained that this is time
consuming and difficult process. This
is true. Yet many legal procedures, if
they are to comply with constitutional
requirements, are difficult and time
consuming. But no one suggests that
this juStifies short -circuiting the Con-
Stitution.
The Attorney General, Of course,
does not concede that the adminiStra-
tion'S literacy bill would violate the
Constitution. The measure provides
that literacy test could not be used
to deny the vote to any person who
has completed the sixth grade, and
the Attorney General contends that
this provides an objective standard
which Congress can conStitutionally
require. He also says, however, that
any State, if it wished, might specify
that only college graduates could vote.
If this is so, what becomes of the con-
Stitutional protection which he says
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amend
mentS throw around the prospective
Negro voter? Should the college-grad
uate standard be adopted in the 129
counties in question, a good many
white people would be unable to vote.
But the discrimination against would
be Negro voters would be virtually all
inclusive.
This, we think, is enough to under
line the purely political aspects Of the
appeal to Congress to ban literacy tests.
If these tests are to be forbidden be-
cause the Department of Justice thinks
it is too difficult to enforce existing
law, the ban should be imposed by
constitutional amendment. But if the
fear is that the country would not
ratify such an amendment, which it
might not, Mr. Kennedy'S department
had better get back to the job Of
enforcing the law which is already on
the books.
