SO0N..
AUTOMATIC SERVICE AND ? DIGITS

Your Virgin Islands will soon enjoy the convenience Of
automatic telephone service. which permits DIRECT
communication without having to request calls from an
operator.
Together with this great improvement you'll enjoy the
2 digit system = the most modern telephone dialing
system in the world! This means better service and
MORE telephones for MoRE subscribers.

idea of independence to grow too
strong in West New Guinea,
whose people are culturally in
ferior and racially different from
the Indonesians.
Indonesia, for all intentS and
purposes, will control the land,
and this is why Mr.. Sukarno
called it a. victory" Dutch For
eign Minister Luns told his peo-
pie that he was disappointed in
the agreement, but said it was
the only way out Of a bad sit
uation.
The Netherlands had ruled
West New Guinea as part of the
Dutch East Indies, and kept it
when the rest Of the Indies were
freed in 1949.
The agreement, however, was a
victory of reason over madness, of
diplomacy over war. The United
States, through Ambassador Ellis
worth Bunker, took a leading part
in the months-long negotiations,
and probably gained the gratitude
of the Indonesians, and the dis
pleasure of the Dutch who feared
the United States would not help
them in case of war.

concessions under pressure, and
massive Negro pressure is some
thing the city has not adjusted
itself to.
For the Negroes, the absence
of negotiations has left open only
two doors to racial gains: public
demonstrations and the courts.
Mass protests began last De-
cember and were resumed on July
10 after the failing of DR.. King on
an eight-month-old charge of pa
rading without a permit. More
than 1900 Negroes have been ar
rested since December, more than
400 of these during the last
month.
The police force, under 37-year-
old Chief Laurie Pritchett, has
been praised for its effectiveness
in preventing any white hoodlum
violence and for restraint in ham

groes on two occasions.

Chairman Angry

Chairman Symington, visibly
angry, read a statement in which
he accused the former Treasury
Secretary of "impugning the mo-
tives of the Senate and this sub
committee" by asserting that the
investigation of the Hanna con-
tract was politically inspired.
What incensed the Missourian
was this statement made by Mr..
Humphrey to a reporter for the
Christian Science Monitor:
They don't dare attack Ike
direct so they are attacking me.
This is stab in the back"
Mr.. Symington then announced
he was going to adjourn the hear
ings then and there and press
the investigation to solve various
conflicts between the Humphrey
testimony and data uncovered by
Government investigators.
At this juncture hearing room
spectators were treated to a tab
leau of stormy partisan wran-
Cling.
Senator Bush Of Connecticut
made it clear that he. too like
many other Republicans. felt
that the subcommittee inquiry
was politically motivated. Sena-
tor Beall, Republican of Mary
land, jumped in to say that Vice
President (then Senator) john
son headed another subcommittee
which looked into the Hanna con-
tract in 1857 and had approved
it.
Finally, Mr.. Symington got
back to Mr.. Humphrey to ask
him whether he admitted making
the statement to the Monitor

way on Tuesday by voting a
limit on debate for the first
time in IS years.
On February %, 1927, the Senate
voted closure-to limit debate-on
a bill to set up Treasury Depart
ment bureau to help enforce
Prohibition.

Wednesday that the upper cham

Truman administration It called
for Hanna to build at Govern
ment expense a nickel smelling
plant near its mining properties
in Oregon and provide the metal
for defense needs. The Nation
was engaged in the Korean War
at the time.
Mr.. Symington, relying on
General Accounting office investi-
gators, holds that the Hanna
Company made excessive profits
from the contract, owes the Gov
eminent an unSpecified amount
of taxes and destroyed some
records pertinent to the investi-
CATION of the nickel contract and
it's fufillment.
The Missourian put the Hanna
profits and windfall' at more
than $34 million over a seven
year period, or more than 300 per
cent. He figured profits before
taxes. The "windfall" he added
to the total profit picture was
the approximately $18 million re-
presenting the current estimated
value Of the nickel smelter and
plant facilities,

In Defense

At the session Thursday, Mr..
Humphrey gave the Hanna side.
He figured the total profits at
SIS million or about Is per cent.
This was after taxes.
AS for the purchase Of the $26
million smelter (original cost for
SIT million, the former Treasury
Secretary said the facility was
actually paid off in the lower
price Of the nickel sold to the
Government and the SIT million
payment Hanna made was in real
ity a cash bonus to the Govern
ment. He noted that the plant
Is located at the only nickel ore
site in the United States and
would be of little value to anyone
but Hanna.
During the question period, Mr..
Humphrey was not bashful about
defending the profit system. He
said profits should be higher for
mining companies because their
irreplaceable assets-the ore
were being used up.

AS the hours licked by and Mr..
Humphrey, far from shaken or
awed by his adversaries, continued
to be in control of the situation,
Chairman Symington apparently
was simmering inside. His queS-
lions became sharper.
Thursdays session ended after
five hours, with the more Sensa-
tional charge of the destroyed
records virtually untouched. The
projects were that Friday would
see closer questioning on this item
and provide a more definite in
dication of whether the subcom-
mittee had a real case against
Hanna in connection with the
company's contract with the Gov
eminent.
But when the subcommittee filed
in for its second round with Mr.
Humphrey, neither the press,
spectators nor even the Republican
members knew what was coming.

Mr.. Humphrey looked at the
chairman with a cold stare and
replied firmly:

Chairman, that the statement
you have just read is ample proof
of the extremely prejudicial at

done to get the schools back in
service by then, Judge Lewis said
he would entertain whatever Or
ders are offered by counsel. His
opinion has made it pretty clear
that any order he issues will be
directed against the school board,
as a State agency. and the State
itself.
There are several possibilities.
The State might be enjoined from
permitting Prince Edward schools
to remain closed. Presumably. this
would force the State to put up
enough money to get the schools
open and operating. Or, the State
might be enjoined from operating
the rest of its public schools until
those in Prince Edward are
opened.
The Alternative
Whatever legal avenue is pur-
sued, it appears certain that
sooner or later the State Of Vir-
ginia will have to get the Prince
Edward schools open unless edu-
cation everywhere is to be aban-
doned. The actual opening may
be delayed by further court ap-
peals, but when the classes do
resume the chances are Prince
Edward children will find them
selves right back in the same seq
regated situation that existed
when the impasse began.
White students already have
their private schools. There has
been no court ruling that COM
pels them to attend public
schools. With the reopening of
public schools, presumably only
Negro students would attend
them. And the resumption of
public classes would make it pos
sible for the white students to
collect tuition grants once more
under Judge Lewis earlier ruling.
Negro leaders already are pre-
pairing their people in Prince Ed
ward for this eventuality. S. w.
Tucker, chief counsel for the Vir-
GINA NAACP, told a recent gath
ering of Prince Edward Negroes
that only their race would attend
reopened public schools at first.
In the future, he foresaw more
and more white children return
ing to public classes.
None, or perhaps only a few
white students may return as long
as they can collect tuition grants
for their private schooling.
But the legal battle over school
deSegregation is far from over.
The next test likely will involve
the tuition grants, and whether
the schools they help finance can
maintain segregation.
If private schools which accept
unsupported tuition grants can
not maintain segregation, the
same tough questions over school
desegregation may yet arise for
another Governor at another
time.

The Organization

A 15-man board Of directors
would run the corporation. Six
would represent the public. six
the communications companies
and three would be appointed by
the President, with Senate ap-
prevail. The corporation, which
would operate under Federal Com
munications Commission regula-
tions, would be financed by the
issuance of stock, half to be pur-
chased by the general public and
half by the communications COM
panies.
The Senate bill now goes to the
House where it is expected that
that chamber will accept minor
differences in order to avert the
need to send it to joint conference
and thereby give Senate opponents
an opportunity for another fill
buster.

A REPORT FROM THE SCENE
By REESE CLEGHORN
Contributing Writer

ALBANY. Ga. - The march of
racial equality across the busy
city expreSSway and quiet rural
hamlets of the South begged
down in a lime sink last month
in Albany. Ga, and last week it
still foundered in a tough new
form of resistance.
The Negroes of Albany. aided
by DR.. Martin Luther King, jr.,
and other civil rights leaders
from elsewhere, have failed to
make any gain in their struggle.
Although they may succeed even
tually, they are stymied now.
The result is that Albany seems
destined to become as much of a
symbol as Little Rock and At
lanta have been, each in its own
way, in Southern deSegregation
history.
Little Rock is remembered for
the violence Of its mobs, and the
use of State power to interfere
with federally ordered desegrega-
ton.
Atlanta will be recorded as the
first big city in the Deep South
to peacefully accept school deSeg-
regation and, after some delay,
other forms of indignation.
Albany symbolizeS a new re-
sistance, more effective than any
yet, with these elements: 1t per-
mitS neither white mob violence
nor Negro gains; it has evaded
negotiation by allowing its police
chief to be spokesman, arbiter
and field general for the city;
and it waits patiently. meanwhile.
for the Negro fervor to be
drained.
Stubborn Opposition
Two recent events underscore
the stubborn nature of the Ne
groeS' opposition in Albany:
Six of the city commissions
seven members issued a statement
intended to devaState organized
white citizens efforts to discuss
with Albany Negroes the prob
lens which have brought the city
eight months of racial strife.
The statement said the talks,
which had been begun informally
and with no official sanction,
were "a foolhardy enterprise in
the present circumstances" and a
"usurpation Of this commissions
authority"
Mayor Asa D. Kelley jr., the
only commission member who
might be regarded as a racial
moderate. did not sign the state
ment. He said he felt bi-racial
communication is absolutely es-
Sential."
Even as the city commission
thus was Gripping the first eau
tious bi-racial talks since the
crisis began, the Georgia Council
on Human Relations was taking
stock of an effort it had just
made toward the same end. The
council had sent a letter to 10000
white Albany households urging
citizens to persuade the city gov
eminent to talk to the Negroes.
Concessions Under Pressure
A week after the letters were
sent, the council office in Atlanta
revealed that it had received 100
written replies from Albany citi-
zens. Not one agreed with the
councils stand.
This adamant refusal to talk
under duresS, apparently sup
ported by most of the white COM
munity, has been characterized by
President Kennedy as wholly in
applicable"
To the whites. talk means ne
gotiation and that means con-
cessions. Moreover, it now means

to make the 35-hour work week
an immediate goal. They did this
on Monday, before hearing the
Presidents address and two days
before hearing in person from
Labor Secretary Goldberg, who
spoke to the group on Wednesday.
Both Mr.. Goldberg and Mr..
Kennedy have spoken out against
any reduction in the 40-hour
work week. They think it is no
way to compete economically with
the Soviet Union-or the Com
mon Market. Labor, on the other
hand, feels that the shorter week,
at the same pay, will create more
Jobs.

The Climax

Then came the roaring climax.
Mr.. Humphrey told the chairman
that he could not stop him from
making statement. you
wouldn't dare" he began. and
Mr.. Symington's gavel came
crashing down as the chairman
exploded:
Don't ever tell me as a United
States Senator and chairman of
the committee what dare or dare
not dol"
Mr.. Humphrey threw up his
hands and the session was ended.
The investigation is expected to
resume in September after the
chairman recuperates from a
Forthcoming hernia operation. The
Symington- Humphrey battle is
not over.

neither side necessarily gains.
The accord is as follows:
/. BY october, the United Ma
tons is to take over administra-
tive control of West New Guinea,
replacing the Dutch. Most likely,
U Thant will ask Malayan author
tiles to represent the U. N.
2. BY May Of next year, the
U. N. will turn over control of
West New Guinea to Indonesia.
Indonesia is bound by the agree
ment to hold a plebiscite by 1869
giving the Papuan people choice
of whether to remain with Indo-
nesia or of having a separate gov
eminent.
