Mr.. Gaitskell as Prime
Minister would do his best to
uphold a policy Of strength
in the Western Alliance. But
while giving him fun marks
for his own intentions, it is
unrealistic to suppose that
he could altogether check the
ban-the-bomb advocates and
all the rest who would come
to power along with him.
Allied high policy would
surely be put into at least
some degree Of disarray. And.
almost as bad, the growth Of
the highly unattractive new
Britain which has emerged
from the Second World War
would be sadly accelerated.
This is the Britain typi-
fled by the angry young men
Of literature; by scorn for
the good as well as the bad
of the past; by a new form
Of class antagonism which,
on the part of the old have
nots, is almost class hatred.
Not the least of Mr.. Mac
millan's achievements has
been to check with tact and
tolerance the decline of the
old Britain in the emergence
of this new and graSping and
largely mannerleSS Britain.
He knew the old had to go;
he has only tried very hard
to preserve what was good in
it for so long as he could.
Melancholy Task
His patience at this melan-
choly task Of presiding over
the liquidation of the kind Of
Britain which Churchill knew
has been a memorable thing.
It has been moving, too, to
all who have had the privi-
lege Of knowing the Prime
MiniSter-and who are un-
lucky enough still to value
the traditions of q gallant
gentility Of the past.
It will be doubly sad when
Prime Minister Macmillan
goes; for more than Mr.. Mac
milan viii be going. Going,
too, and perhaps forever, will
be an England of half-fond,
half-exasperated memory.
That England was arro-
giant; but also had the cour-
age of special nobility.
That England was compla-
cent; but also was enduringly
faithful to freedom and honor.
That England muddled and
fuddled languidly in any
peacetime; but died with un-
exampled bravery and good
taste" in any and every war.

Rowing Enthusiasts

The regatta held off the
Old Dominion Boat Club May
5 was a 1907 response to our
Presidents proclamation call
ing for physical fitness pro-
grams. Due to the extreme
youth Of these high school
oarSmen, there is a greater
potential here for physical
fitness, provided they con-
tinue with the sport in col
lege, than there is with uni
versity oarsmen.
It is noted at intercolle~
giate regattas off Hams Point
and the Presidents Cup re-
gattas that adequate patrols
by Coast Guard and Harbor
Police boats are provided.
The course on May 5 was
marred and cut up by speed
and sailing boats continuously
entering or crossing the
course. The worst culprit was
the District fireboat, which
plowed down the center Of the
course, turned and plowed up
the course, delaying the start
OF one race, and interfered
during the progress Of an
other race. The announcer
made continuous appeals to
these sailors for their CO.
operation, but to no avail.
These young oarsmen and
their coaches, Charlie Butt,
Jack Franklin, Julian White
stone and their assistants,
make many sacrifices and
tremendous efforts to develop
winning crews. They, there
fore, deserve the same CO.
operation and protection as
accorded the older oarsmen
in other regattas. The adverse
conditions referred to herein
are shameful, and should be
rectified Immediately.
Yours for better rowing and
physical fitness in accord
ance with President Ken
nedy's plea,
James s. MacGruer.

Of no District official who has

PERHAPS MOST impor-
tant is the attempt to define
the precise nature of our

Prof. Hughes suggests that
our opposition would be vastly

stand that we are against
"communism's tyranny over

than planned or welfare state

seeks to demonstrate that
political tyranny and a
planned economy have no
necessary relationship, and
that conversely a state can
be simultaneously tyraf1nical
and capitalist.
At the moment America un-
derestimates the Importance

the emotional rebel, but the

THE PASSING SCENE
Is Macmillan on Way Out?
By WILLIAM S. WHITE


Political moderation is on
the way out in Britain. and
this is very bad news for
the United States.
The Conservatives are suf-
fering defeat after defeat in
local elections to left-wing
candidates from the Labor
and Liberal parties. The cold
omens coldly mount:
Prime Minister Harold Mac
millan's Conservative govern
ment itself win surely be
repudiated in the next ma
tional election unless tired
old Super Mac" can bring
forth yet another from the
long pocketful of miracles
which have thus far sus-
tanned his regime.
Inc national election can
come no later. than 1864
our next presidential year.
1t could come much ear
her. 1t could come any time
Mr.. Macmillan's increasingly
large and emboldened oppo-
sition should find itself able
to carry a motion Of no.
confidence in Parliament.
Middle-ROad Symbol
In the strict and narrow
sense, all this is the business
OF the British. But the i'm
pltcations are immense for
us here In the United States.
For Prime Minister Macmil-
Ian is the very symbol of a
middle-road philosophy which
Is far closer to our own
dominant national philoso-
ply than the British Labor
Party - which will be the
winner If Mr.. Macmillan
loses in England-could ever
be.
Labor's top leader, Hugh
GaitSkell. is hemself a per-
fectly sensible and RESPONSE
BILE man. But he is con-
stantly pressed by a power
full left wing. These are au-
thentic and hot-eyed So
cialists, whereas he is only
nominally so. And they are
deeply attracted by cold war
neutralism, not to mention
a good deal Of deep-down
anti = Americanism, though
these are in no way his own
feelings.
If we think here that Mr..
Macmillan's government has
been too ready to propose
overly hopeful approaches to
the Soviet Union-as some of
lis dove won't have seen
anything yet until Labor
comes to power in London.

Youths Good Side


AS I visited the Panorama
exhibit displaying the work
Of students of Montgomery
Hills Junior High, / kept
thinking Of your columnist,
Constantine Brown, sitting
over there in Rome reading
the magazines from home
and worrying about the
dreadful things he thinks are
happening to Am eric a n
youth.
It Is true, of course, that
our young people face many
temptations, and that some
of them get into trouble. But
as ! walked through the
Panorama and .rinarveled at
the achievements Of these
young Tth to 9th graders,
] was reminded of a very i'm
portant fact that often gets
lost in the press discussions
of juvenile problems: that
the overwhelming majority
Of today's young Americans
have q good sense Of values,
a determination to work hard
at their education, and an
ability to handle themselves
in q creditable manner. On
these counts, today's young
people, need apologize to no
one.
/. In his lamentations from
Rome, Mr.. Brown sells our
young people short, and he
sells our whole American So
ciety short. If he were
brought home and given an
opportunity to become re-
acquainted with US, perhaps
some Of his anxieties would
be relieved. Perhaps you
ought to reassign him to the
Montgomery County School
beat so that he will get a
fresh perspective on the
kinds of young people we are
raising, and the real promise
thew offer for the future of
our country.

AN APPROACH TO PEACE
AND OTHER ESSAYS. BY
H. Stuart Hughes. 204 pp.
(Atheneum; $4.50.)
z In his new book, Prof. II.
Stuart Hughes Of Harvard
offers a. collection Of essays
guaranteed to infuriate the
overwhelming majority Of his
readers. For he attacks some
of our most closely held be-
liefs about the relationship
between the Soviet Union and
the West, especially those
concerning problems Of dis
armament.
We have held these convic-
tons for many years. When
concepts logically arrived at
are long maintained, they
tend to transform themselves
into emotional articles Of
dogma. This Is why they
must be challenged by cogent
and .forceful thinkers like
Prof. Hughes and why our
reaction to the challenge Is
likely to be so violent.
Prof. Hughes believes that
arms control Gas opposed to
DISARMAMENT is impossible
and that its proponents are
in danger Of entering the
ghastly land of what David
Riesman calls mad ration
alism."
"'An act Of faith, writes
Prof. Hughes, "such is the
only solution I can see to the
irreducible dilemma in which
the strategists Of deterrence
have left us, with their fear
Of Soviet blackmail on the
one hand, their implication of
the necessity Of world order
on the other. I can find no
alternative to the renuncia-
ton Of thermonuclear deter
renee as an instrument of ma
tior1al strategy" (UnilateraI
renunciation isbneant.) 1.-THE
risks In such q course are ap-
palling. There is no final
answer to the argument from
blackmail and to accusations
Of 'appeasement' and sur
render The only remotely
satisfactory reply is that
these risks are preferable to
the horror Of thermonuclear
war ITSELF"
THE REASONING leading
TO this is neither fuzzy nor
soft-minded. Prof. Hughes
is not an emotional peace
marcher. That is why an en-
counter with him cannot fail
TO sharpen the wits. His argu-
ment's main-perhaps fatal
weakness lies in its tendency
to assume that rational con-
siderations play q more i'm
portant role in the formula
ton Of Soviet policy than
may in fact be the case.
The discussions of peace
and disarmament form only q
portion of the book. The
author insists that these es-
says, written at different
times, must now be taken to-
gether. Yet some Of Prof.
Hughes most important ideas
can be wholly separated from
his views on disarmament
and the Soviet Union.
There are two essays on
European political parties
one on Christian Democracy,
the other on Social Democ-
racy-that offer a convincing
theoretical framework against
which the days events in
West Europe can be viewed.
There IS also a brilliant
piece on the place Of De
Gaulle's Fifth Republic in the

citizens, who is to blame?
Yes. I pity the voters Of
any State who sit in their
homes watching television
instead Of working together
with people Of the same basic
belief to elect high-caliber
men to office. I hope that in
the coming primaries more
responsible citizens replace
the mere voters"

BigHomecoming
Against Lotto

The Loris High School Lions,
apparently on the brink of
possible Conference IA foot
ball championship, will have
their big homecoming game
Thursday at 8 p. n. when they
meet Latta here.
The Latta eleven has done
quite well this year and OBJ
servers agreed the game would
be no snap, though the Lions
have looked good most of the
time this year.
A colorful feature of the
Homecoming Game will be the
browning of a Homecoming
Queen from among the girls
sponsored by members of the
varsity football team.
Loris whomped Lake View
3l-0 at Lake View Friday
night, with Kenny Kapps scor-
ing his first two touchdowns.
The cagy Loris quarterback,
whose kicking and team gen.
eralship have made him quite
a star this year, capped a Sc
yard drive by scoring from the
one and in the second quarter
went over again on a roll out
from the eight, Loris had
reached the eight on a drive
that followed a tumble recov-
cry.
Taking the kickoff to open
the second half, Lake View
drove to the 10 where Loris
took over and marched all the
way with halfback Marshall
Carter carrying the last five
yards.
In the final period, Loris
took over the bail on the so

IT'S Whot's
Up Front
Thot Counts"
BY Ray Wicker

In winning football games
IL is more often than not
whats up front that counts"
but most sports writers are
guilty of the sin of ignoring
the guys in the line who get
their brains scrambled and
bones cracked protecting the
ball-carring backfield, and
holding the seasons scoring by
other teams to 40 points on
the defense.
We at the Tribune are guilty
Of this sin. II seems that all
we see are the guys with the
ball. We'd like to try To recti-
~ our oversight by saying
congratulations to the Rec
Devil line.
The Devil linemcn have in
this season and in the past ac-
counted for more than one Ia
Dor City victory. Linemen
like Russell Fonvielle, Kenny
Carter, Larry Herring, Don
Spivey, Joe Stevens, Doug
Wright, Michael Norris, Eddie
Gore, Gene Goldtinch, Elwood
Spivey, Sammy Williams, and
others have come across when
il counted in game after game.
Big Men Up Front Count
To emphasize the importance
of good line, we like to quote
the following note from a col
umn by Wilton Garrison, Char
lotte Observer sports editor:
THE STAR halfback. his
own warmest admirer, was
giving his teammate \ lock-
er-rOOm lecture after a game,
mostly about himself. Ignor-
ing the fact that the teams
powerful line had regularly
ripped big holes for him to
romp through, he was de-
scribing at length the brains.
Skill and all-arOund ability
a backfield man must have.
You linemeen really don't
have to thing" he said fin
ally. We think for you. We
call the signals. We carry
the ball. We throw the passes
and score the points. Why.
most of you lineman wouldn't
know what to do if some
body handed you a football"
In the silence that followed
this outburst, 250-pound
tackle stepped up to the half
back, grading football in
his hamlike hand. Look. bud"
he said gently ANY dope can
carry Il football. II not heavy"
