fact, in the words of Secretary General
U Thant, what must be reckoned with
now is the possibility of "a financially
bankrupt United Nations" that might
not be able to survive much longer. The
same note of warning has been struck
by Philip Klutznick, the American rep
resentative. AS he has put it, failure
to abide by the World Courts ruling
would be "irreSponSibility of kind that
would mark the beginning of the end
Of the hope symbolized by the organ
ization"
These are somber words, but not
exaggerated Clearly, unless it can per-
Suade its members to pay what they
owe, the U. N. will be in grave danger
of fiscal crisis that could destroy it,
or reduce 1t to little more than an inef-
fectual debating club This is problem
that cannot be solved with never-end-
ing American subsidies. 1t cannot be
solved unless or until members like
France and the Soviets have a change
of heart Lacking that, the u. N. can
hardly fail to become quite impotent
and useless.

Purkwoys-For Whom?

The National Park Service has come
up with some interesting figures in an
effort to show that buses can make al
most as good time from downtown
Washington to Dulles Airport If they
avoid the George Washington Memorial
parkway in Virginia. One study involves,
for example, route running from
Twelfth and K streets NV out MaSSa-
chuSettS avenue and River road to the
Capital beltway, then across the new
Cabin John Bridge to the Dulles access
road in Fairfax County The loss of time
as compared with trip along the Vir-
ginia parkway during the evening rush
hour: Less than five minutes, says the
Park Service.
Since the Cabin John Bridge will
not be open until the end Of this month
(maybe), at least part Of this "eSti-
mate" is guess" There likewise is a
need for more detailed development of
other data and, before there is agree
ment Of any sort on parkway-versus-
non-parkway routes, the Park Service
studies will have to be compared with
those presumably being made by the
Federal Aviation Agency and, we suspect,
the bus companies themselves.
But suppose 1t turns out that there
is only five-minute loss of time through
the use OF some route other than the
parkway? Should that really Justify the
exclusion of buses? Apart from time,
should the pleasures of drive along the
parkway be denied bus riders, and re-
served only for motorists? Would buses
"eally destroy the concept Of urban park
ways In the Washington area-all of
'7hich incidentally, already are used
heavily for committing purposes during
rush hours?
These are a few OF the questions
brought to the fore by the opening of
the Dulles Airport, but which, actually,
have been boiling up like storm clouds
on the horizon for some time. Repre-
sentative Broyhill, at the behest OF the
bus interests in Virginia, has protested
the Interior Departments anti-bus policy
, Secretary Udall, and has suggested
nat this is something Congress will
look into" We hope II does, and, further,
that this look is taken at public hear
ings. Both park officials and those who
disagree with them should have the
opportunity TO tell their stories, and
Congress--once and for all-should de-
eide who Is right.

Joined by France and a few other
members, the Soviet Union has made
clear to the budgetary committee OF the
United Nations General Assembly that
It will not accept the World Courts
advisory opinion" on special assess
ments. The opinion 9-to-5 judgment
holds that all members of the U. N. are
obligated to pay their pro-rata share Of
the cost of such peace making" oper-
ations as those in the Congo and the

positions, together with those Of Bel
gium and such other countries as the
United Arab Republic, mean that the

Secrecy and Frustrotion

There is hard core Of political
thinking in this country which is COM
mitted to conservatism. 1t Is not truly
represented by extreme right-wing Or
ganizations, such as the John Birch So
ciety. In fact, its greatest Illustration
is that it has no organizational home in
contemporary two-party American poll
tics. For the most part, it has existed
only as an unhappy minority faction
within the Republican Party-excluding
Southern Democrats who have had prac-
tical political reasons for retaining that
party's label regardless of ideology-for
the past thirty years.
If it prevailed in any degree within
national G. o. P. ranks in that period,
it was in the hopeleSSly lost cause of ALI
Landon'S presidential nomination in
1936-an effort that was doomed to de-
feat from the beginning. Conservatism
has not really been represented, except
in relative sense, in Republican plat
forms or tickets since that year. Even in
the Eisenhower years it was the liberal
wing Of Republicanism that was domi-
nant, and their conservative fellows
functioned in fringe areas.
There is nothing new in the fact
that, between presidential nominating
conventions, there should be talk and
effort directed at giving this conServa-
tive philosophy an opportunity to express
itself-to let the Nations voters sit in
judgment on it. 1t was for this reason
that group of pro-Republican conServ-
atives, including some in the extreme
right-wing category, met secretly" in
Chicago last week end to discuss pros
poets, strategy and perhaps candidates.
One objective, and so stated Is to pre-
vent New York'S Governor Rockefeller
from winning the G. o. P. nomination
two years hence. Another purpose, of
some at least, is to nominate AriZona'S
Senator Goldwater, fortnight SpokeS-
man for the conservative point of view.
But one who has thus far wisely kept
himself free of commitments Finally,
the Chicago group let it be known that
it was adopting 'wait-and-see" atti-
tude toward GovernorS-elect Romney of
Michigan and Scranton of Pennsylvania,
two newly prominent figures in Repub-
lican presidential thinking.
1t is unlikely that the conservative
faction will write Republican platform
or name the party ticket in 1864. 1t
would be an interesting test case, how
ever, in the following November if it
should have its chance If there is any
hope for them, the conservatives are not
starting too early-nor should they con-
tinue to operate secretly"

The Negro's S Future

Robert c. Weaver, administrator of
the Federal Housing and Home Finance
Agency, believes that the future can be
bright" for adequately trained Negro
job seekers.
The Negro unemployment rate Is
more than double that among whites
and most of the jobs for Negroes are
in five unskilled or Semi-Skilled cate
gories In recent speech in New York,
however, Mr.. Weaver is reported to have
said that there is unmstakable evil
dence of paucity of trained Negroes
to man the new opportunities for skilled
and technical nonwhites."
These new opportunities emerge
from the fact that racial barriers are
crumbling in the face Of the unfulfilled
demand for engineers, scientists, statis-
ticians and, to somewhat lesser de-
gree, clerical, stenographic and similar
classes Of workers. AS Mr.. Weaver put
it,. the shortage of qualified people in
these categorieS is serving to bleach
the industrial skin" of the Negro
Among the reasons for the lack Of
trained Negroes, Mr.. Weaver believes
are certain skepticiSm that former
barriers really have been lowered and,
in many instances, inferior quality of
schooling for Negroes. Given the will
and the incentive, however, these handi-
caps can be overcome AS Mr. Weaver
said: IF changes are rapid enough and
Negro youth is motivated to prepare
itself-and If we both, black and white,
modify and remove the physical and
psychological ghettoos The future will
be bright"

Weiqhinq the Evidence

To understand what may happen
next, 1t is we'll to be perfectly clear about
the essential purpose of the Commission
erS hearing on housing discrimination
That purpose is not to establish
whether practices of housing diScrim-
ination exist in Washington, or whether,
as matters Of fact, the highest rates of
crime, of health problems and of over
crowding occur in those areas of the city
occupied primarily by Negroes of low
income. For without doubt they do. The
basic question at issue is whether these
and other contentious made at the hear
ingS in fact constitute sufficient grounds
and authority for the Commissioners to
promulgate the suggested anti-diScrim-
ination regulations. In attempting to
set down "rules of evidence" to govern
testimony on this point, the nearest the
Corporation Counsel could come was to
say that such power is legally dependent
upon finding that discrimination and
segregation result in a demOnStrable
danger to the liUeS, limbs, health, COM
fort and quiet of persons, or to the safety
of property. And this was the question
to which witnesses were asked specific
ally by the Commissioners to address
themselves.
Why is finding based on this "rule"
so important? The simple and clear
answer is that decision by the Com
missioners to attempt to legiSlate anti
discrimination regulations through their
general police powers would face almost
inevitable challenge in two forums-the
courts and the Congress, the latter of
which, under the Constitution, is given
exclusive legislative control over the Dis
trict of Columbia.
That is the reaSon-not whether one
believes or does not believe in segregated
or in open-occupancy housing-why the
Commissioners have decided to reserve
their decision until they have had full
opportunity to weigh the hearing testi-
mony against the rules of evidence"
laid down by Acting Corporation Counsel
Norman. And if the Commissioners
should seek still further guidance from
counsel before reaching a final judg-
ment, that, too, will not be surprising.

BOYS Club Policy

AT long last the Police
Boys Club Board Of Man.
agement has come OF age.
Only bigotry kept the clubs
from operating for all the
boys. Now we may see a de-
cline in juvenile delinquency
and what is equally valu-
able an improvement Of race
relations.
Now that the management
has come TO the conclusion
that the clubs can be
operated on a non-segre-
gated basis we feel that this
action will not only fiji In
beneficially the leisure time
Of many boys but will lessen
the tensions and hostility on
the part Of growing youth
and may help reduce the
vestiges OF segregation yet
existent In the police de-
partment itself

WATCHING THE WORLD
u. S. Policy Lines in Europe Hay
BY CROSBY S. NOYEs
FOREIGN Correspondent Of The staI

weapons. The proper role OF
the European allies, as Amer
ican strategists see 1t, is to
increase their contribution to
the conventional defense Of
the West, leaving the nuclear
deterrent to us.
Unfortunately, however, 1t
is also obvious that this ideal
situation no longer exists.
The British already have
their own nuclear deterrent.
The French are busily build
ing their weapon, which ad-
ministration spokesmen al
Tentatively describe as mill
tarily insignificant and a
grave danger to Western Sc
curity. Even the Germans
have been quietly pressing
their demands for at least a
greater voice in the control
of the nuclear weapons sta
toned on their territory.
Seek TO Limit Damage
Faced with this disagree
able reality the administra-
tion apparently is casting
about for some way Of limit
ing the damage.
Though nothing has been
said, every European states
man is assuming - probably
quite rightly-that the main
purpose Of a multilateral
European force would be to
retain maximum American
control over its possible use.
In their eyes such phrases as
"integrated defense" and
unified command" translate
quite simply as American
Veto" And it is also assumed
that this multilateral force
would absorb the various
national nuclear forces in its
all-inclusive embrace.
This proposition, naturally
enough, is finding few takers
among the NATO allies. AS
they see the American pro-
posal it is simply a matter Of
asking them to share the
financial burden for a weap-
ons system that would remain
essentially as it is now, un-
der American control. For
their part the French have
made it abundantly clear at
the present ministers meeting
that they have no interest at
all in sharing control Of other
peoples weapons or allowing
other people to share control
of theirs.
1t is possible, Of course, to
go ahead without France in
the hope that later on under
a different government this
attitude m ay change. It
would seem, however, that
until the real purposes Of the
administration are made
clear, the present discussion
is at least premature and
that nothing concrete is
likely to emerge in the COM
ing weeks.

much more Machiavellian

ing like a chess player:
Figuring out several move,

The alternative is that,

A BOOK FOR TODAY
The New Deals Inner Sonctum
By DONALD MINTZ

a passenger though an in
fluential one. not a driver.
and as subsequent events
proved, he and the President
to-be complemented each
other in a way so complex
and difficult to understand
that it cannot be made clear
even in a long non-partisan
and mastery book.
When Mr.. Roosevelt was in
the White House, Mr.. Howe
became secretary to the Presi-
dent. But what did he do?
He was, among other things,
an expediter and when nee
essary, the opposite. A great
deal of Government business
went through his hands. Yet.
as Prof. Rollins shows, his
main function was political.
1t was largely Louis Howe
who made peace or manipu-
lated this or that local boss
or spokesman.
HOwE'S POLITICAL views
are harder to come by. Prob
ably they consisted largely Of
those positions which would
win the next election. In any
case. Prof. Rollins is firmly
convinced that "he was no
architect Of the New Deal"
Mr.. Howe's major service
was relentless criticism. He
was the mo- man from whom
the boss could never quite
escape"
Yet Prof. Rollins does not
agree that Mr.. Howe's death
permitted the New Deal to
become more radical. True,
he was a brake, yet though
his instincts were conserva-
tive the real forces that
moved him we're the beat Of
public opinion and his own
firm compassion for human
beings in need"
We have here a fitting and
more than competent history
Of the most important aspect
of the life Of Louis McHenry
Howe. For some, there will be
too much detail about the
everlasting and not always
entirely ethical give-and-take
Of politics. For some. there
will be too little. This is inevi-
table. From any point OF
view. Prof. Rollins has done
his work well.

AAAN4Age
Thanks to the multiplicity
of spokesmen, official and
otherwise, currently expound-
ing the Kennedy admins
tration's views, the main
lines of American policy in
Europe are today more than
usually confused.
The confusion results from
an ill-advised effort to draw
lessons from the Cuban ex-
perience and apply them to
Europe. It, surrounds the
question of inter-Allied con-
sultation which has taken a
severe beating since the
Cuban crisis. 1t arises most
particularly from all the talk
about a NATO (or Euro
pean) nuclear force which is
now virtually monopolizing
international discussion.
There is an enormous i'm
precision in this discussion.
1t was started off a few
weeks ago by a succession of
statements by high admins
tration officials vaguely to
the effect that the United
States would not oppose
creation of a multilateral
European nuclear force.
Since then there have been
inspired leaks to the British
press about an American
plan for a Joint British,
French and American force
of medium range missiles.
followed by prompt denials
from the Foreign Office. The
question has formed the CEN
ter Of discussion at the meet
ing of ministers of the West
ern European Union going on
here this week. 1t is reported
to be the reason for the
forthcoming visit to Paris of
Secretary Of State Rusk and
Defense Secretary McNa-
mara. 1t is supposed to be a
major item on the agenda of
the NATO meeting to follow.
NucIear Force is Key
But no one, in Europe at
least. has any very clear idea
of what he is talking about.
On the American side, no one
has explained what it is that
the United States is propos-
ing. So far, nothing what
ever has been said about the
all-important question Of
control of this proposed
NATO (or European) nuclear
force. And until this point is
explained the discussion will
proceed in a vacuum.
There are, Of course, a
number Of assumptions that
can be made.
From everything that has
been said it is quite obvious
that the ideal situation from
the American point of view
would be perpetuation of the
American monopoly on con-
troll of all Western nuclear

Civic Problem

After a little serious con-
temptation I feel compelled
to add my personal opinion
to the furore occasioned by
the atrocities committed on
Thanksgiving Day by a
frightening number of ex-
tremely uninhibited and anti
social people. I doubt seri-
ously If any worthwhile pur-
pose can be served if the
community should subscribe
to the fallaciouS theory that
this brazen eruption against
decency was. after all, a mere
tussle Of small proportions
occaSioned by the normal
tensions that accompany a
spirited football game. Moth
ing could be further from
the truth, and the incon-
trovertible facts of this riot
will forever remain engraved
in the memories of the $4,000
people who saw that wild
screaming mob come charg-
ing across the field bent upon
nothing but destruction and
physical violence. The adop-
ton Of an ostrich-like at
titude whereby the general
public is brain-waShed fran
tically to give them the
philosophy that this vendetta
OF one race against the other
did not happen is the epitome
OF ignorance personified and
can only serve to scuttle
what progress has been made
up to now in the attain
ment Of amicable relations
between the Negro majority
and the white minority in
the District of Columbia.
My son and daughter we're
subjected to vile vocal abuse
while using enough common
sense to avoid physical con-
tact with the mobSters and
their assorted arsenal Of ex-
pedient weapons which were
carried into the stadium for
an avowed purpose which was
expressed loudly in gutter
language long before the
game reached its climatic
state. To say that the Incl
dents on the field had other
than a catalytic action on
the eventual developments is
to insult the intelligence of
every clear-thinking indi-
vidual regardless of race. The
deliberate sublimation of the
facts developed at the beauti-
full stadium by a band of
ugly actors can only tend to
broaden the scope of such
activities on the part Of peo-
pie whose actions should be
restrained rather than en-
couraged. To be sure, we
have a problem, let us then
seek concerted action by all
means to eliminate this in
sidious cancer which afflicts
the Nations Capital so that
we may be proud Of our city
once again. To disregard the
problem or to proclaim that
1t does not exist is to merely
render the most callous kind
Of disservice to both races,
No amount of pious plati-
tudes or twisted PHILOSOPHERS
will accomplish one iota Of
benefit to anyone concerned
The practical answer is that
each and every person who
resides In this city is duty
and honor bound to insist
upon the maintenance OF law
and order regardless OF whose
toes are stepped on In the
process.

Senator O'Mohoney

Senator Joseph C. O'Ma-
honey's passing removes one
more outstanding, and his
toric, figure from the national
scene. When he retired from
the Senate, his colleagues
went far beyond the custom
ary courtesy tribute to a
departing friend and CO.
worker.
For Senator Joe, as he was
affectionately called, had
established a unique reputa-
ton as the man attached to
no clique or group, able to
speak to strong leaders on
both sides Of the aisle" in
even the heat of controversy.
And when the worst of dead
locks occurred, to effect that
compromise that meant prog
reSS.
These past 20 years of
working closely with the
Senate, a goodly part Of that
time directly with Senator
O'Mahoney as his staff di-
rector of the TNEC, the
IN onopoly Investigation"
which made him famous, has
enabled me to see the Sena-
tor under varying circum-
stances.
Name some vitality impor-
tant measure passed by Con-
greSs in the past quarter of
a century, and somewhere
along the way Senator Joe
O'Mahoney would have had
a hand in it. His chairman
ship of the TNEC was bril-
liant, and established a Sys-
tenn of congressional commit
tee inquiries which became
known as the "O'Mahoney
plan" of conference table
meetings between members
and witnesses which pro-
duced testimony and reports
of far more constructive
value than most of the more
widely publicized investiga-
tions that caught the TV
viewer and radio listeners.
Senator O'Mahoney be-
longed to that school Of great
WeSterners that included
Walsh h, Borah, Murray,
Wheeler, Thomas of Utah,
and johnson of California,
men OF courage and vision,
unhamperes by commitments
to their constituents on the
bigger, more fundamental
issues-So that they could act
on the congressional scene as
truly United States Senator's
aware Of and concerned about
the best interests Of the Ma
ton as a whole.
He will live long in the
legislation and leadership he
furnished during the trying
days of the great war and its
aftermath. He will be re-
membered by those of us
who shared his deep concern
about a free competitive eco
nomy operating under free
institutions for the benefit of
all the people.
