omic development to a halt. The
216-page study was prepared by
the Secretariat at the request of
the Economic Commission for At
RIGA for consideration at the COM
missions annual meeting this
month in Adds Ababa, Ethiopia
1t contains an exhaustive analysis
of population, resources, labor, edu-
cation and income in South Africa,
Kenya, Uganda, the Federation of
Rhodesia and Nyasaland, Tangan-
yika, Angola and Mozambique. Re-
searchers actually visited only the
first four countries. The report
found clear and deliberate racial
discrimination" in the distribution
and ownership of land, residences
and business property, in labor and
in education.
THE QUESTION of land owner
ship has long been a matter Of
grave concern for African nation
alist leaders in those parts of At
RIGA which are yet to receive their
independence. For example, in
Southern Rhodesia, Sir Edgar
Whitehead prime Minister, has
promised that if his United Federal
Party wins the October election, it
will repeal the Land Apportion-
ment Act, which at present re-
serves certain areas for ownership
and occupation by different races.
If the act is repealed, it will then
be possible for people Of any race
to buy land in any part of the
country, in both urban and rural
areas. Meanwhile, Sir Edgar is
under attack by many Europeans
who feel he is moving too fast to-
ward what is viewed by him as the
inevitable control of the govern
ment by Africans. But with regard
to the plan to make land available
to all races, African leaders feel
that the European-controlled gov
eminent has no right to claim the
land in the first place.
THIS SUBJECT, aired recently
by Bildad Kaggia in Kenya, fol-
lows the usual line of Africans on
the matter Of land ownership. He
maintains that no African should
buy land from Europeans, saying
to do so would be to renounce
our landlordship in our own coun-
try" He continued saying, Every
body would 'tinwardly agree" that
all land in Kenya was the property
of Africans. All land occupied by
European settlers was taken from
Africans without their consent.
1.-THE many evictions that took
place to accommodate European
settlers, especially the wholesale
evictions of Nasal and many others
that place In Kiambu, can remind
anyone who is in doubt that the
land now occupied by the European

Unfair to the Orchestra

The National Symphony Orchestra
Is not only great cultural asset to the
Nations Capital, it is one whose values
are fully available and widely used by
all Segments of the community. And we
know of no reason to believe that the
orchestra has practiced racial dis
elimination in hiring its musicians.
When this question was raised the
other day, the orchestra manager stated
categorically that absolutely" no dis
elimination is practiced in employment.
A National Symphony board member
added that If qualified Negroes had ap-
piled in the past to play in the orchestra,
they would have been hired.
To all of this, E. Franklin Jackson,
president of the Washington Chapter of
the National Association for the Ad-
mented that Negroes are reluctant to
apply for fear of rejection" and that
lit is hardly probable without change
in symphony policy and practice that
Negro musicians would find acceptance"
Mr.. Jackson does not say the Ma
tional Symphony has Disseminated
against Negroes He merely implies it.
This kind of innuendo, when in
dulged in with nothing to support it, can
only cause harm. 1t is especially I'M
fortunate that Mr.. Jackson has I'M
leashed his unsubstantiated inSinuationS
in the midst Of the once-a-year sustain
ing fund campaign of the National

Toys could not be sold on the Sabbath
unless they could be classed as souvenirs.
Many such absurdities led to a decision
by most State prosecutors to turn their
back on violations or supposed violations
and to demands that the Legislature
rewrite the statute into something
workable.
A number of bills designed to clear
up the confusion were debated in COM
mittee and each was rejected in turn.
In the end the House voted to dump the
problem in the lap of the Virginia Ad-
visory Legislative Council, an interim
group of legislators which will hardly
appreciate the assignment. We wish
them luck. In the meantime, however,
we suggest that the moratorium on at
temptS to enforce the 1860 law be con-
tinued until the next General Assembly
or one of its successors devises a blue
law that makes some sense. Failing that,
the only logical alternative would be to
repeal the law.

Blue Law StuIemote

Unable to untangle its own blue law
snafu of 1860, Virginia's 1862 General
Assembly has decided to pass the buck
to an advisory group that will have two
more years in which to come up with
solution. That leaves the States mer-
chants, consumers and law enforcement
authorities in the middle of as confusing
a mess as an unenforceable law can
produce.
The trouble started two years ago
when the previous Assembly endeavored
to clarity the old ambiguous Virginia
Sunday-cloSing statute, which court rul-
ings had rendered virtually useless. But
the Clarified" law proved to be even
more ambiguous due largely to conceS-
Sions made to important Virginia indus
tries. Thus, no foods requiring cooking
could be sold-eXcept hams. The eXcep-
tion, curiosity, did not include pork
shoulders. Apples could be sold, but not
eggs unless they were to be eaten raw.

Security Is at Stake

few days ago, while the Nation
was still glowing with restored con-
f1dence in our space program as a result
of the Glenn orbital flight, a picket line
was set up by sheet metal workers at a
vital Titan missile site near Little Rock,
Arkansas. The sheet metal workers con-
tended that they, not carpenters, should
be given the job of installing acoustical
lining in certain ventilating ducts This
minor juriSdictional dispute at one site
soon led to work StoppageS at more than,
a dozen other Titan missile bases which
would be Of great Importance to our
security in event of nuclear warfare. In
citing this latest setback to our missile
program, Arkansas Senator Mcclellan
told the Senate that this trivial" inter-
union issue caused 2,297 man-dayS to be
lost in our missile race with Russia. And
the strike might still have been going
on but for the issuance of an Injunction
by Federal judge.
That this was not an isolated case
was made painfully evident by figures
given by Senator Mcclellan showing an
alarming rise in missile and space work

of this year. The upward trend has oc-
CURED, he pointed out, despite the best
efforts of President Kennedys new Mis-
Sile Sites Labor Commission, through
which Labor Secretary Goldberg has
sought to reduce the number of strikes
and other work Stoppages that are i'm
peding Americas "craSh" program to

The trouble with the commission is
that it has only advisory powers. 1t
hopes, by talking to both sides in the
jurisdictionaI and other controversies,
to bring about voluntary compliance 1t
has done so in some cases. But the rec
ord of work stoppages that have con-
tinued to plague the missile plants and
sites since the commission began its OPP
erations last year indicates that it takes
more than sweet talk and reasoning to
impress some union members with the
gravity of their conduct.
The Arkansas Senator is right in
saying that the situation is becoming in
tolerable Unless there is prompt and
drastic improvement, Congress, at this
session, ought to step in and outlaw
strikes at our missile bases. Otherwise
we will be taking unwarranted risks with
our chances for survival as a nation.
