Free Speech, and Two
Versions of Responsibility

An extremist of the left wing gets an audience
here after allbut at the University not in the ST.
Paul public schools.
The University has already come under some
bitter criticism for permitting this. But the Univ
ersity is right and the St. Paul school authorities
who started the incident by sponsoring extremist
Of the Right Wing and rejecting extremist of the
left wrong.
AS of now the score is that the University up
holds the traditional American ideal of freedom of
speech, and by the token takes responsible
ty for the utterances and views of the speaker The
ST. Paul school authorities reject the American ideal
of freedom of speech and by the same token must
accept full responsibility for the views and uteran-
ces Of the extremist whom they sponsored.
We have made 1t clear in these columns that we
disagree deeply with both the views and the activt-
les of the extremists of both sides We believe-and
our governmental authorities to agree-that
some Of their conspiratoral activities are illegal
But their right to speak out is supported by and
tradition. Indeed, of the fundamentals of our
system is the free market place of ideas which we
have established and protected from the time of
Revolution.
The St Paul school authorities were of course
under no obligation to sponsor any speaker at ALL

There Is Hope In The Vote

Those depraved white supremacists who are
making sport of us by recruiting busloads Of
Negro families for free transportation to points
north are performing one service which we should
make the most of. They dramatizing the fact
that the problem which they have created by deny
ing Negro citizens equal education and work OPP
portunities is now a national problem and must be
met by national action.
They are not solving anything by uprooting the
victims of their viciousness and sending them to
northern cities already taxed to the limit to
accommodate the voluntary refugees from the South
They merely exporting the problems they have
created.
These problems infinitely than they
would be if these southerners did not have so
strong hold on the Congress of the United States
"a hold strong enough to paralyze action on civil
rights and welfare legislation We have pointed this
out number of times in urging that the Constitu-
ton be honored in reapporoning Congress. If this
were done, and the Southern states allowed
representation the basis of those whom they
allow to vote, the South would lose nearly half its
congressman. We would then have Congress better
equipped to deal with the problems which southern
ignorance and depraHty have created.
The Kennedy administration is approaching the
same problem in a different way The Attorney Gen.
eral is pressing actions against voting officials in
the South who conspre to deny Negroes the vote,
phony "literacy tests" which frequently used for
this purpose At the same time a massive campaign
financed by number Of foundations is being organ
lied to persuade Negroes throughout the South to
register and VOTE under such projections the fed
eral government can give them.
Even with such projections, this is enter
prise that will call for high courage the part of
the southern Negro population. The Negro who seeks
to vote in some sections Of the South frequently
risks his job, his personal safety and the safety Of
his family. He sometimes faces devastating boycotts
for example, of food and clothing.
The prospect is tough one, but the stakes
There is opportunity, for example, for Negro voters
to make common cause with decent white citizens
in the election of better calbre of local official
In such a case we might see the gradual disappear
ance of the pstol-packing lawless bullyboy who is
the characteristic Dixie Acknowledgement officer
What this might mean to the Negro population of
the South is difficult to imagine in its full import
But we all know enough about southern law
forcement" patterns to guess at its Importance.
We suspect that the Kennedy drive will succeed
in some areas, and fail in others in the short run
There should then be occasion to look again at the
Constitution and what 1t says about Congressional
representation where the vote is denied In the long
rum the Dxiecrats are fighting losing battle and
will be thoroughly defeated But we need to employ
all the means available to bring about this result.

Liberals i'm the Election

The Liberals lost the st. Paul city election
week or so ago. They proved to be hard campaign
ers and by and large surely superior in ability
to the group who called themselves independents"
The trouble that the Liberals largely wrote off
the major strength of Liberals everywhere, which
was being the right side of the major issues To
some extent they had to do this because of the
burden of non-Liberals they had to carry on the
Liberal ticket.
On civil rights, the issue was thus confused
and civil rights not campaign issue although
it is burning issue among the people. On housing
and other human rights, the issue was thus con-
fused and when the housing issue was raised it was
made more confusing when it was joined on the
wrong side, by a man long identified with the Lib
eral philosophy. And so it went.
We suspect that successes of the past decade
beginning to erode the liberals political position,
that in order to garner votes they playing 1t
cagey with the issues, to the extent of continu
ing to accept offceholders who don't measure up to
the liberal philosophy.
They cannot win this way. Not in the long run.
The Liberals strength is that they interested in
humanity and dedicated to action to solve the prob
lens of people. If they neglect soft pedal their
ideals, they get into the position of having ade
quate answer to the man who says, as Mayor Vav-
oulis said that candidates should be chosen the
basis OF administrative ability rather than political
beliefs
Political principles happen to be all-important
at all levels of politics and government, and the
Liberals need to keep things that way The next big
challenge will be in the state and Congressional
elections, and it begins to appear that in
the Liberals going to repeat past failures

Apportionment
Ruling Protested

ANNAPOLIS, July IA (AP) -
An appeal of an Anne Arundel
County Circuit Court decision
which found the present appor-
tionment of the Maryland Sen
ate constitutional has been
joined by Montgomery County.
The county, through Attor-
neys Alfred Carter and Richard
J. Sincoff, filed a brief yester-
day with the Court of Appeals
as a friend of the court.
The Maryland Committee
for Fair Representation already
has appealed a decision by
Judge o. Bowie Duckett de-
claring the Senate makeup
constitutional. Judge Duckett
had earlier declared the ap-
portionment of the House of
Delegates unconstitutional, and
a special session of the legisla-
ture subsequently reapportioned
the House.
In its brief, Montgomery
County claimed that the Cir
cult Court should not have de-
cided apportionment of the
Senate and House separately.

HEADLINE PERSONALITY =
Butler Well Equipped
To Aid Tory Image

LONDON, July IA (AP)-
When the British Conservatives
run into difficulties they usually
turn to Richard Austin Butler.
Now Prime Minister Macmil-
Ian has designated his chief
trouble shooter as his deupty
and political heir apparent.
There is some speculation
that Mr.. Macmillan, now 81.
might step down before the
next general election in favor
of the man he narrowly beat
out for the prime miniSterShip
in 1857.
Mr.. Butler. who is so, is well
fitted for role of helping to Gre
ate a new image of the Tories
who have suffered successive
Setbacks in recently parliament
tary elections.
He is a genuine reformer,
with all the reformer's zeal for
getting things tidied up. His
instincts are humane. and he
has often shown great courage
in his convictions.
Though he has an engaging
personality, his ways of opera
ting have often antagonized
some Conservatives.
Their admiration for Mr..
Buffers considerable talents is
tempered by resentment at the
contempt he sometimes shows
them. He is an intellectual
without the grace to pretend
that he is not. For Mr.. Butler
is the master of the dubious
phrase and the uncertain COM
pliment.
Sometimes. indeed, he seems
to lose himself in haze OF
words that can have no mean
ing even for himself. Sir Win
ston Churchill once said of one
of Mr.. Buffers policy state
mentS: Il wonder what it would
sound like in English"
But however much some
Tories may resent Mr.. Butler,
they know he is vital to their
fortunes. He is their BRAIN
trust, the man who has put
the modern gloss on the post
war Conservative Party.
AS Education Minister he re-
formed the British education
system. AS Home Secretary he
brought in legislation which
reduced capital punishment.
reformed the prison system
and cleaned the cities of street.
walkers.
Away from politics he likes
the countryside, dabbles in
painting and occasionally
writes a little poetry.
