Lawrence on Africa

Lawrence that no purpose at
all could be served by ex-
pulsion Of South Africa from
the United Nations.
The colored people. how
ever, would be astonished to
learn that they ARE not seq
regated by residence and en-
JOY virtually all the privileges
that Negroes do in the
United States"
In point Of fact. the South
African Population Registra-
ton Act seeks to classify the
people rigidly into separate
white, colored. Malay. Asian
and African groups, while the
Group Areas Act envisages
the proclamation and devel-
opment Of separate areas for
each group-initially for pur-
poses Of residence but even
tually for business and even
local government purposes
as well.
Other determinations
against the "colored" people
are: Job reservation. where
by particular jobs and cate
gories Of work can be re-
served for particular race
groups; the electoral system.
whereby "colored" people
have been taken off the COM
mon voters roll and put on q
separate one carrying only
four white members Of parlia-
ment; q number of industrial
laws which limit entry to
certain skilled Jobs to whites
only and oblige colored peo-
pie to leave the estab-
lished trade unions and form
their own, and separate en-
frances. coaches and facili-
ties in public buildings and
transport. These are only
some Of the major discrimina-
tons against them.
That this IL what Mr..
Lawrence calls "the law of
the land" Is undiSputed. but
1t Ia only fair TO note that
this Is the wish Of rather
less than 2 million white peo-
pie out Of o total population
OF some IS million. The l1h
million non-white people have
no vote and have never been
consulted in free discussion.

Strange noises Of the high
Antarctic atmosphere will be
studied this winter. the far
southern summer. by inves-
tigators of the Arctic Insti-
tute Of North America, as q
major part Of this country'S
Antarctic program for the
year.
These noises" accompany
air glow and aurora borealis
appearances. The investiga-
tions will be carried out in
conjunction with similar ones
In the Far North. The sounds
are, for the most part, in
audible to the ear, and are
picked up by special inStru-
ments. They consist of "whiS-
tiers and hisses," supposedly
closely associated In some
way with the lights in the
sky. There are many cor
relations, but there are many
forms of disturbances. Con-
tinuation Of the observations
In the Antarctic is desired
through an entire ll.year
sunspot cycle.
Major Physics Puzzle
Present information indi-
Gates that they do not come
chiefly from distinguishable
forms Of auroras but from
extensive weak CLOVIS cover
ing the entire sky. These are
much brighter than the air
glow In low ATTITUDES and
show evidence that they
really constitute q new form
Of aurora not seen in the far
north.
1t is hoped to provide con-
siderable information on the
structure Of the Antarctic
ionoSphers and the source of
Its ION. alton in winter under
conditions Of no solar illumi-
nation. Ionization is caused
chiefly by ultraviolet rays
from the sun colliding with
air particles in the upper
atmosphere. but in the dark
Of the Antarctic winter such
rays are entirely absent.

u. N. on the Test Ban

BY vote Of rs to 0, with Fl Austen
tons (including our own country and
the Soviet bloc), the United Nations
General Assembly now has approved a
resolution calling upon the nuclear
powers to put an end to all atomic
hydrogen tests by next January at
the latest. This may seem to many to be
a sensible and urgently needed proposal.
Actually, however, in view of the harsh
facts Of life in the year 1862, 1t holds
out little or no promise worthy of the
name.
This Is so for the simple reason
that the eSolution-vaguely worded on
many points-makes no provision for
effective international supervision or
policing. Instead, while demanding
ban on every type Of nuclear testing, 1t
pays little more than lip service to the
idea Of watchdog controls or inspec-
tional safeguards. In effect, 1t says that
these would be good to have and that
negotiating efforts should continue to
be made to establish them, but that the
projected new moratorium should mean
while be put into force, even though
unpoliced.
The General Assembly would have
done better had it Overwhelmingly and
unequivocally supported the British
American proposal for either of two
arrangements: % A ban that would
outlaw all tests on the basis of an ef-
fectve verifying system or (2) q limited

LETTERS TO THE STAR
Scales of Justice Weighted on LowIess Side

argues regarding the Supreme
Courts 1857 controversial
Mallory ruling that innocent
citizens need protection from
Washington's police. I have
lived in Washington since
1908, have been stopped twice
for speeding in all those
years and have never yet had
any complaint about the
manner in which the police
do their job. Law-abiding
citizens do not need protec-
ton from the police - they
need protection from crimi-
mails; and the courts - par
ticularly the Supreme Court.
In clobbering police with the
Mallory ruling. they are max
ing this city unsafe for law
abiding citizens and a happy
hunting ground for criminals.

the editorial writer of The

would like to opine that Mr..
VanSanten likewise would
change his own viewpoint II
he had a dear friend or rela-
tive - as we had once -
who was brutality beaten in a
street attack. and another
who was stabbed to death
without warning by a COM
plete stranger in another
street attack.
The police do not prosecute
innocent persons. They are as
interested in proving a sus-
pect innocent by checking out
his story. as in proving guilt.
Proof Of this can be found by
looking through the files. In
the late l920s a young man
voluntarily confessed to the
murder Of Beulah Limerick.
His story was so thoroughly
checked by the police that
they set him free. determin-
ing that he could not possibly
have committed the crime,
and deciding that he was a
bit balmy. In the early l930s
another man confessed to the
murder Of Mary Baker in Ar
lington. but was set free by
Virginia police because when
they thoroughly checked his
story they became convinced

David Lawrence writes that
South Africa hasn't violated
the charter" (of the United
Nations Organization). If the
Union OF South Africa. by its
unconscionable and morally
indefensible treatment Of the
native peoples Of the Union
itself as we'll as indigenous
groups in Southwest Africa,
has not violated the U. N.
charter, then 1t Is reasonable
to believe that the Soviet
Union has never cast q veto
in the Security Council.
South Africa has been de-
nounced, not only by the So
called "Afro-Asian bloc" but
by more than % per cent Of
all the nations Of the world.
More dismaying. however.
is the discovery that q sup
poSedly knowle6seable col
umnist such as Mr.. Lawrence
would attempt to defend the
racial policy of the Union
government. When. for in
stance, he makes the charge
that the Bantus are half
civilized" he Is attempting
to justify the oppressive
and humiliating restrictions
placed on their lives by the
European minority: he Is at
tempting to lend moral Gre
dence to q policy obviously
void Of q modicum Of moral
ity. This is an impossible
task. II the Bantus are half
civilized" are not the rulers
of South Africa for the most
part responsible? Has the
Union Government ever en-
couraged the Africans to be-

THE POLITICAL MILL
Rehoshing the Election Returns
By GOULD LINCOLN

Statewide political office Of
major Importance was Con-
troller Arthur j. Levitt. Mr..
Levitt was Mayor Wagner's
opponent in 1851 for the
mayoralty nomination. He
was the candidate of the reg
ular Democratic organization
which Mr.. Wagner, as leader
Of the so called Reform
Group. cast out after he won
reelection to q third term.
The question now Is: Who Is
going to pick the Democratic
Party in New York up off the
floor?.
Mr.. Wagner, fair haired
boy Of the Kennedy admin,
istration in Washington,
turned his back on Repre-
sentative Sam Stratton Of
Schenectady who wanted to
run for Governor this year
and Mr.. Stratton. like Mr..
Levitt, won election to the
House in 8 district upstate
considered strongly Republic
can. Wagner, 1t was reported
at the time. declined to run
against Gov. Rockefeller be-
cause he preferred to wait
until 1854 to seek the Senate
seat now held by Republican
Senator Heating. Now, it ap-
pears, Mr.. Stratton Is being
talked about as the party's
candidate against Senator
Heating. The Kennedys, II
reports are true, moved
strongly into New York poll
tics, backing Mayor Wagner,
who has been recognized as
the party boss. The White
House, 1t is said, really picked
Mr.. Morgenthau for the gu
bernatorial nomination. On
what Democrat will it now
rely to help carry the En-
pire State for President Ken
needy in 1964-especially If
Gov. Rockefeller should be
the Republican presidential
nominee?
Puzzle In California
Across the continent In
California, the task of re-
building the Republican Par
ty leadership is as much Q
puzzle as that for the Demo-
Gratis in New York. Mr.. Nixon
momentarily has been elm
mated. Indeed. he has implied
strongly he Is through with
politics, which may or may
not be true. His statement
was made in a moment Of
bitter disappointment, after
his defeat. The Democrats,
today, are looking forward to
winning CALIFORNIA; 40 cleo
toral votes for President Ken
nedy two years hence. And
well they may, for they not
only defeated Mr.. Nixon but
they greatly enlarged their
congressional delegation and
In the State legislature.
1t is we'll to remember.
however, that while all this
was going on, Republican
Senator Kuchel was being re-
elected by a very considerable
margin over his Democratic
opponent. Will the G. o. r.
have a new leadership In
California, or will mer
Senator Knowland and for
mer Gov. Knight get into the
picture? AS of today. Senator
Kuchel is the bright star Of
the G. o. p, II he cares to
assert leadership. Or Joe
Shell, who ran against Mr..
Nixon for the eubernatorial
nomination, may take q
hand.

President Kennedy's llth-
hour decision to act firmly
In the Cuban situation must
rank high in any rehash Of
the 1852 election results. The
whole country applauded this
action and 1t blunted an is
sue which was becoming more
and more important In the
political campaign. Neverthe-
less, 1t did not blank out local
issues in many States. 1t did
not, for example, alter the
sentiment in New York which
recognized the effectiveness
of Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
as the States chief executive.
Nor did 1t overcome In Penn
slyvania. Michigan and Ohio
the disapproval and disap-
pointment Of the people in
Democratic State rule. For
mer Vice; President Nixo n
claimed. however. that the
Cuban crisis and its handling
by the President. coming two
weeks before the election, was
responsible for the failure of
his campaign to unseat Gov.
Edmund (Pat) Brown in
California; that 1t had taken
the spotlight away from the
election campaign. This is de-
batable.
Boost for Candidates
But. take 1t by and large.
Democratic candidates for
Congress and for Governor
received q shot in the arm
from this action by President
Kennedy. 1t did far more for
them than would have been
the case had President Ken
needy continued his campaign
as previously planned. It
probably was effective in
bringing about the defeat Of
Republican Senator Capehart
Of Indiana. who had been de-
handing action on Cuba
many weeks before the Presi-
dent took his firm stand. In
other close congressional
elections across the country
1t must have been beneficial
to Democratic candidates. In
deed, the most vulnerable
spot in the Kennedy admin
istration had been its weak
ness at the time Of the Bay
of Pigs invasion Of Cuba by
the freedom fighters, an in
vasion which we counten-
anced and supported, but
only halfway. In the twin

that his agency had taken 20 SAM

The board commissioned Robert

Dare, to use his influence to pro-
cure signs which will be erected
at every approved water source.
"Dr. w. w. Johnston, Dare County
Health Director, has already issued
cards warning that water should
be boiled" Jarrett stated.
The board stated that present
warning signs which inform of
the necessity for boiling water in
storm-affected areas, will continue
to occupy their positions at the
entrances to beach areas. The
group asked DR.. Jarrett and his
crew of 8 sanitation experts to
remain in the county as long as
possible.
Director Folger emphasized the
need for rapid removal of water
which still stands on the beach
in the Kitty Hawk and Southern
Shores areas. "The sooner we can
allow spring rains to wash down
salt deposits, the BETTER" he stat
ed. Folger has pledged all the re.
sources available to him for use
in the dragging operation which
is now underway in those areas.
The group also agreed to have
sand deposits, which are being re-
moved by the highway department
used as a fill along the coast to
replace protective dunes which
were washed fat by the storm
The group has already given the
go-ahead on ditch clearing opera
