Integr0tion Lesson

Some elementary things
that need to be said about
the country's current night
mare:
North and South, whites
rush out Of a broken" block
because they fear that Ne
groes will rush in, and that
property values will drop.
Negroes rush in because the
whites rush out, and-main-
ly-because the Negroes have
nowhere else to go. Property
values drop-sometimes-be-
cause whites rush out and
Negroes rush in. This is logic,
but does it make any sense?
Simple arithmetic is enough
to show that the situation
will sort itself out when the
Negro is free to move around
like everybody else. He is not
going to overrun isolated
areas If there are limitless
other areas where he is well
come.
And II he isn't welcome,
It's because many Southern
ers-and many Northerners
covertly-are prisoners of an
idea. In saying this, I speak
in the role of a white South
erner certified by 13 genera
tons in the South. It never
degraded any white man to
shake hands with a Negro
neighbor. to sit with him, eat
with him, listen to him, and,
If the two are congenial, to
invite him over for a beer.
Negroes this and Negroes
that" is nonsense. A Negro
is an individual just as a
white man is. II you are a
banker, you may think you
are better than the garbage
helper. But the garbage help
er. black or white, is not
going to buy the house next
door to the banker-unless
he has to showed in by the
NAACP. A college professor
might - and the banker
might be interested in what
he has to say.
Nobody can afford to be
first; the fear Of being over
run is legitimate. Barriers
must be taken down from
whole sections and complete
metropolitan areas at one
time. There can be no loss
Of "valuesg where all neigh
borhoods are alike. This
should lend bankers and real
estate brokers and white
householders the courage to
meet and work to bring this
about.
That they have the courage
is doubtful; but If they do
not muster the courage. then
their fears will bring upon
them the worst that they
fear.

2Key Issues Against Macmillan
LONDON
Foreign Correspondent Of The stur

LONDON
1t s hard to see how Prime
Minister Macmillan will sue
cessfully clear the two separ-
ate hurdles that confront him
In the aftermath Of the sor-
did Profumo scandal.
The test will start Monday
when Parliament reassem-
bles. The Prime minister lust
returned from a golfing holi-
day, is reported confident of
weathering the storm pro-
voked by the resignation of
War Minister John Profumo
after admitting an adulter-
Gus relationship with a hand

dal as a kind Of ultimate
coup de grace for Conserva-
tive hopes for several years
to come. Many doubt that
Mr.. Macmillan himself will
survive the immediate storm,
There are two distinct is
sues involved, either Of which
could be fatal to the present
government.
The first is the issue of
security, which is the only
question which the Labor OBJ
position is pressing for the
moment. It stems from the
TACT that Mr.. Profumo's play
mate, 21-year-old Christine
Keller, was simultaneously
receiving visits from a certain
Capt. Eugene Ivanov, former
Russian naval attache here.
Capt. Ivanov was an un-
usually high-living Russian
diplomat strongly suspected
OF being a member of the
Soviet military intelligence
service.
1t was, in fact, thanks to
Capt. Ivanov that Mr.. Pro-
fumo's acquaintance with
Miss Keller first came to the
attention Of British intelli-
gence agents. Routine shad-
owing Of the Russian in 1851
LED the British agents in
evitably to Miss Keeler's Lon
don apartment where to their
surprise they also discovered
that Mr.. Macmillan's war
minister was a regular visitor.
The question which con-
fronts the government and
the country is what the in
telligence agents did then,
Investigative Mystery
Faced with a possibly seri-
GUS security case, it seems
natural enough that the
agents did not warn Mr.. Pro-
fumo directly of the mess
that he had Numbered into.
To many Britons, however,
1t seems entirely incredible,
given the obvious intrinsic
security risks involved In the
situation, that the RESPONSE
BILE authorities - including
Prime Minister Macmillan
were not warned.
This is the first question
that must be answered in
the coming days, either in
the House Of Commons or by
the investigation of a special
tribunal which may be set
up. The current inquiry into
the security angles of the
case being carried out by
Lord Chancellor Lord Dill
horne is not expected to
supply all the answers.

The death of Pope John

in the affairs of his church
and of the world, In the hearts
Of his fellow-C Catholics and Of
people everywhere. An evalua-
ton Of the impact Of his
reign within Roman Cathol-
icism can best be made by
members Of that faith. In
the political realm there may
be those who question his
more liberal approach toward
communism. Whatever may
be the judgment in these
fields, however, his life and
reign have undeniably given
a strong impetus to the spirit
of brotherly love within the
whole Christian community,
and to the age-old yet urgent
aspiration. for peace on
earth, good will among men.

who would be worthy to oc-

also that almost none of the

OF American Negro writer's is

Even before the answers
are in, however, there is an
instructive tendency to doubt
that any real breach Of Sc
curity took place. But even
If it did not, the second major
issue involved in the Profumo
case could still topple Mr..
Macmillan.
This is the issue Of the lie
which Mr.. Profumo admits
having told in the House of
Commons in March when he
denied any improper relations
with Miss Keeler.
Moral Issue Most vital
This point. perhaps, is not
entirely understood outside
the coy context Of Tory pol
itics, An admitted lie by a
cabinet minister would be a
serious offense anywhere.
But in Britain and In
the Conservative Party it
amounts to an unforgiveable
crime which inevitably in
wolves the entire government.
More so for the Conserva-
tives than for a Labor gov
eminent. Lord Poole, CO.
chairman Of the Conserva-
tive Party, is the first to ad-
NIT that the damage done
among the electorate is very
serious, indeed.
The majority which elects
the Tory governments. he
points out, are mostly hum
BILE people who believe that
Britain can be governed best
by an elite and privileged
minority. And when a mem
Der Of this elite and priv
ileged minority shows him
self manifestly unfit to hold
a responsible post, the dam
age done to the party as a
whole is enormous.
And so, from the point of
view of the Conservatives. the
moral issue is perhaps even
more important than the Sc
curity issue. And Mr.. Mac
milan will be called severely
to account on this point by
his own party.
The question here is
whether the Prime Minister
or other party leaders. on the
basis Of what they knew or
should have known, were In
any way associated with Mr..
Profumo's life. And even If
Mr.. Macmillan clears himself
on this score, his qualifica-
lions to continue as party
leader are certain to be re-
assessed.
The exact mechanics of the
developing British crisis are
not easy to predict. There
is no chance that the govern
ment could be beaten on a
vote Of censure in Parlia-
ment. There is no formal
machinery in the Conserva-
tive Party for replacing a
prime minister whose use
fitness has come to an end.
Nevertheless. 1t has been
done in the past and 1t could
be done again. Today the
revolt in the Conservative
ranks is widespread. Unless
Mr.. Macmillan can stem the
tide, Some observers estimate
that in a vote of censure
there might be about 40 Tory
ASSERTIONS. Any such result
would mark the end of Mr..
Macmillan's usefulness to his
own party. And the search
for his successor would be
automatically under way.
