Mao in Trouble

Red China'S delegates have returned
home from Moscow with nothing but
bitterness in their minds and hearts,
and this is fact Of potentially great
historical Importance.
Certainly, far from being bridged,
the theological gulf separating Mao TIE
tung from Nikita Khrushchev has be-
come wider and deeper than ever. Each
side has vehemently accused the other
of trying to undermine and sabotage it,
and the rift-healing talks have been
suspended for an indefinite period, pos
Sibly forever, as something Of little or
no promise.
The Chinese Communist mood has
been Strikingly summed up In an edi-
torial that has just appeared in Peking's
peoples Daily" Having in mind Soviet
Premier KhruShchev, the piece has had
this to say: Those who are racklng their
brains to SANDER Comrade Mao Tze-tung
and our party will accomplish nothing
save full exposure of their own foul
purposes" And it has gone on to brand
the Kremlin as liar for declaring that
Picking is responsible for the tremendous
drop in Sino-Soviet trade-from over 50
billion year in 1859 to little more than
5000 million now.
Actually, according to the Peking
editorial, the Soviet Union-resorting to
economic and political pressure in an
effort to make Generalissimo Mao kow-
tow to Mr. Khrushchev-has torn up
literally hundreds Of trade and aid
agreements with Red China. 1t also has
withdrawn practically all Of its tech
nicians (well over 10000, and it has
virtually stopped shipping industrial
plants to the country. AS result, in
the editorials words, the Russians have
inflicted incalculable difficulties and
losses on China's economy, national de-
Tense and scientific research" e,
Red China, in sum, is hurting for
want of Soviet trade and aid. Where can
it turn for a substitute? To japan?
Maybe so, but economic experts in Tokyo
are leery of the idea, and there seems
to be no great enthusiasm among top
japanese exporters for any big deals
with the Chinese Communists. Never
theleSS the Chinese must do business
with somebody if they are to survive.
This is one Of the most significant
aspects of the Sino-Soviet rift. If the
Kremlin Is intent on putting him in an
economic as well as political doghouse,
what does Chairman Mao do next? He
may be pushed into some desperate act.
Or, conceivably, he could turn to the
hated capitalists for the economic help
he needs. Stranger things have hap
pened.

the President as saying In
effect that despite the
Government discrimination

will not withdraw its aid.
At the same time, the
President is actively sup

Commercial BIiuht

BY It's approval of the bill authoriz-
ing the use Of urban renewal powers in
Washington commercial areas, the Sen
ate has voted merely to grant the Dis
trict Of Columbia the same vital weapon
which other major American cities al
ready possess to attack blight and de-
terioration in their downtown business
and shopping districts.
The city owes special debt to
members of the Senate District Com
mittee for their explanations of the
need for this simple measure. Senator
Miller of Iowa proposed to cucumber
the bill with amendments, the purpose
Of which would have been to clarity"
the status of sound business properties
in possible renewal areas. Perhaps
Congress should take another look at
the questions raised by Senator Miller.
But it should do so, as Senator Morse
urged, only within the context of the
national program as whole, and in
the closest consultation with Federal
and private experts In the field, so as
to make certain that the goals and
purposes OF urban renewal are not
thwarted by undue restrictions. Ger
tainly the restrictions proposed by the
Senator from Iowa should not be i'm
posed upon the District alone.
1t is important to remember also
that the pending bill would not in itself
sanction the removal of any building
in the District, for no specific renewal
program has yet been developed. With
out this legislation, however, official
consideration Of the attractive pro-
posals advanced by the Downtown
Progress organization for central Wash
ington cannot even proceed.
After extensive hearings last year,
the House District Committee reported,
and the House approved without dis
senting vote, bill virtually identical
to the one now passed by the Senate.
We trust that the House will show the
same good judgment again this session.

Meat and Potatoes

Always appreciative Of the

with q great deal Of dis
appointment and concern
that I studied Glib Crockett's
July IA portrayal Of q Negro

The lettering pile on which
he was standing was tagged
"Stepped-Up Pressure Tao

democratic way Of life rather
than the "cookies?" Would
1t not have been more ac-
,curate to have shown the
boy at the doorstep being
tossed a few scraps tagged

job opportunities" stun

trough labeled "prejudices?"
The caption could be when

THE POLITICAL MILL
Moneuvering at Miami Beach
By GOULD LINCOLN

PRESIDENT Kennedy In the
coming election. or at least
would not put any candidates
in the field against him, and
that all Republican candi.
dates in the elections should
be defeated. So the ordinary
voter can make up his mind
whether 1t is better or worse
to have the John Birch
Society support or to have
the Communists support.
An important Republican
leader on Capitol Hill insists
that at this early date 1t Is
not sensible to write off
either Senator Goldwater or
Gov. Rockefeller In the race
for the Republican presiden-
tial nomination next year. II
has been clear for some time
that these two clashing
camps may bring about q
situation in which neither
the Senator nor the Cover
nor could win nomination
II he wanted IL.
Several Alternatives
This situation necessarily
gives rise to speculation over
a compromise or darkhorse
candidate and his chances in
the Republican National
Convention next July. Two
other Governors Scranton of
Pennsylvania and Romney of
Michigan and a Senator
Morton Of Kentucky - are
the most discussed for such
a nomination. Gov. william
w. Scranton will head Penn
Sylvania's big delegation to
his party'S national conven-
ton as a favorite-son can
didate. Gov, Romney is stick
ing his feet a little into the
political pool, though not far.
He will go to the national
convention also as q dele
gate, and presumably as q
favorite-son candidate, al.
though he now insists he is
not q candidate for the
nomination and does not ex.
pect to become O. candidate.
He has not said, however, he
would refuse a nomination
If 1t came his way.
Senator Morton, q former
chairman Of the Republican
National Committee and this
years chairman Of the Re-
publican Senatorial Cam
paign Committee, is saying
nothing at this point. He
doesn't have to. He is In
tent on getting the best pos
Sible Republican candidates
in the field for election to
the Senate next year. Dr. ~.
Gov. Scranton. who won q
decisive victory last fall over
his Democratic opponent, Is
a good public servant, a good
businessman, with a firm
philosophy Of government.
At present he Is the one Re-
publican Governor not in
Miami Beach for the Cover
nors Conference. He has a
State legislature on his hands
in Harrisburg. But there are
Republicans looking after his
interests. He can afford to
keep out Of the limelight for
the time being.

the former as segregationist
"a red blanket word to Nc

McGrory's eyes. the Cover

Senator has amazed his col

and openmindedness, while
the Governor comes from q
place where there Is only one

is something the Governor
would never admit.
To Miss McGrory. the
most arresting question pre-

when Senator Hart asked
Gov. Wallace whether there
is segregation In Heaven. The
connotation being that II
God Is big enough TO ban

TO the same heights Of great

Macs "Leninists" and
Khrushchev's dilemma make
us remember old stories of
communism's beginnings in
power.
July is the month In which
candles are burned before
icons in the homes of surviv-
ing Russians of the old order
-commemorating the death
of Car Nicholas and his
family in a cellar in the Ural
city then called Ekaterin-
burg.
It is q bloody story. Nor
have the years washed off
any Of the horror-stain Of
1t. The royal family had been
arrested In March Of 1918.
But as the civil war ragged,
Lenin and his advisers feared
some foreign power might
slip them out Of Russia to
another country and there
form q government In exile
and q rallying force.
SO, In April they we're sent
by Lenin's government to the
distant city of Ekaterinburg.
The area was in chaos.
Armed bands roamed 1t. One
of the great war stories, not
yet fully told, is Of the anti
Bolshevik Czech Legion. 1t
made a remarkable march
from Siberia to the Pacific,
following, for q while, the
Trans-Siberian railway. De-
spite fear Of the Czechs, other
captured members Of the
imperial family were brought
to the city. A tough, violent
local soviet held 1t and
maintained a certain order.
Named for Empress
Ekaterinburg had been
founded In 1928 by Peter the
Great and named for the
Empress Catherine. 1t was
one Of the earliest sites OF
industrial development in
imperial Russia. Iron, gold
and platinum were mined
there. Cutlery works, an iron
works, and various other as
ISOLATED industries were
established. II also was q
center for polishing and
setting gems found In the
mountains about the city.
There was ready supply of

had long been disconnected

enough TO raise the hair at
this late date. What they

It's politics as usual - at
the Governors Conference In
Miami Beach,. in Washington
and, indeed. in many parts
Of the country-despite the
very pressing problems which
confront the Nation, the Pres
ident and Congress. The Dem
ocrats, temporarily allied
with Gov. Nelson A. Rookie
Teller of New York, are at
tempting to fix q Radical
Right" label on Senator Barry
Goldwater of Arizona, whose
considerable support for the
Republican presidential NOM
nation next year makes him
q target Of both. The Gov.
ernor keeps hammering away,
demanding that the Senator
diSavow any support from
the John Birch Society or
other far-right organizations.
The Democratic National
Committee, through its organ
Democrat" pointed up the
fact that Sen. Goldwater has
the Endorsement of Robert
WEIGH, founder the Birch So
ciety, for President. Gov. Pat
Brown of California, Demo-
crat, at the Governors Con-
ference, called the Arizonan
a "segregationist."
Senator Goldwater is not o
segregationist as his voting
record in Congress shows.
Gov. Rockefeller. when asked
about the Brown charge,
would not go along, saying
he has seen nothing that
would classify the Senator as
a segregationist. But the fact
is Senator Goldwater has wide
support In the conservative
South for a presidential nom
nation and that President
Kennedy would have grave
difficulty defeating him in
that section in q presiden-
tial race. Hence the Brown
assault.
Point to Democratic Split
Under the leadership of
Gov. Rockefeller, the g. o. p.
Governors are playing o bit
of politics - justifiably -
by attempting to show to
the country the great divi-
sion in the Democratic Party
over the civil rights issue.
Also, the New York Cover
nor. who is strongly COM
mitted to wider and wider
rights for Negroes in this
country, has gone the limit
in his present outspoken
campaign, He has been &C
cused of using the issue as
a spring board to get him
really back into the race for
the presidential nomination
which seemed to be his for
the asking before his remar-
riage earlier this year.
While the Democrats are
attempting to smear Sena-
tor Goldwater with a Birch
WEIGH brush, the Senator
has called attention to the
fact that the Moscow-trained
secretary general of the
American Communist Party
has virtually announced his
Communists would support

God made man very good
and fine in the beginning, but
man turned away from Him
and became wicked and sim
full. Then God promised man a
Messiah who would deliver
him from his sins and teach
him and help him to live in
the godly way.
The Jews generally thought
the Messiah would appear as
an earthly king who would
conquer other nations that had
risen against them.
Therefore, they did not re-
cognize Christ when He came
because of their idea as to the
kind of Savior He would be.
The religious and political
leaders rejected Him, and the
people cried out, Let him be
crucified." However, some who
believed He was the Christ
accepted Him in their hearts.
Jesus Christ is, indeed, the
