Social Responsibility
Decline Reported

and the American Association
of School Administrators.
They must yield to their
young citizens a social role
that will enable them to be-
come the good citizens of the
future" it said. "And they
must find ways to elevate and
improve the activities of those
character forming agen cieS
which supplement the schools"
The report declared that a
socially responsible person
cannot accept practices which
deny human dignity-"yet "a
cial and religious prejudice
persists, to the detriment Of
millions at home and Of Amer
lea abroad, and efforts to cor
rect it are greeted with deri-
sion and even violence"
Millions Of underprivileged
citizens are congregated in
congested sections of cities,
and need to learn the ways
and skills of modern life, the
commission pointed out. They
need good schools to attend
and good models to emulate,
it continued, but many who
could help them make a point
of avoiding contact with them.
Rather than pay for the
needed services, they reject the
necessary taxation as an in
fringement on private afflu-
ence," the educators declared
Even teachers, with whom
much -of the remaining hope
lies, often prefer to leave fol
others the task of working with
disadvantaged children"
A. John Holden, jr.. commits
sion chairman, told q press
conference, Were asking the
American people to take a
much more honest look at their
schools and their communities,
at the conditions under which
the schools are trying to work,
at the relations of the school
to the rest Of the commun-
ity. -. :"
He called on citizens to face
the fact that If the schools are
going to carry out their con-
tribution toward social re-
sponsibility, they need more
support, both financial and
spiritual, than they have been
getting.
Besides activities in school to
develop social attitudes, other
agencies can provide helpful
civic experiences, the report
noted: There are church pro-
grams Of service for all ages,
and young adults can tutor
needy children. work in public
hospitals or settlement houses,
counsel in charity camps. work
in scouting, join the Peace
Corps and serve as political
party helpers. -

Matthias Puts His Foot
In Senate Race Door
BY ALEX r. PRESTON
Star Staff Writer


Representative Charles McC.
Matthias, jr., indicated yesterday
that he may be a candidate
for the seat of Senator Beall,
Republican Of Maryland, in
next years election.
Responsible sources are say
ing that leaders in the State
Republican organization have
been seeking a younger man to
succeed the Senator who soon
will be 70. Mr.. Matthias, now
serving his second tern in the
House, Is 40.
In a telephone interview from
his home in Frederick, Mr.. Ma
thias declined definitely to say
he will be a candidate but said
he was not shutting the door
on a Senate race.
It was learned that prominent
Republicans in Maryland have
been conducting a quiet cam
paign to convince Senator
Beall, now serving his second
term, that he would face seri-
Gus difficulties In getting finan-
cial and organizational support
for a third term. Some Of these
leaders do not believe he could
win.
Mr.. Matthias said he had mot
talked with the Senator" about
the reports, nor would he con-
firm a report that he would
challenge Senator Beall in a
primary. If necessary.
Senator Beall said today he
has made it a policy never to

Browns Study

The Cleveland Browns are on top Of
the pile and we couldn't be gladder.
It's like seeing an old, long admired
friend suddenly come through as you
always knew he could. The Browns have
not been lacking in promise. But this
year delivery is being made. The Cleve-
land crowd was great with Los Angeles
and, last week end, magnificent with
the Giants of New York.
Partly this is due in fact to the
return to brilliance of Jimmy Brown
after long slump. The Browns Brown
was largely responsible for Sundays
bombing in the Bronx.
Working closely with Jimmy Brown,
however, is an even more interesting
sporting phenomenon, Quarterback
Frank Ryan, who must be the first pro
football star to use the game as an
off-campus Job while taking Phi. D. In
mathematics.
Not only mathematics, but geomet-
ric function theory, which goes well
beyond the merely abstract into the
abStruSe. For those of us who still have
trouble with bank statements, this Is
the kind of math that makes a man a
walking computer. Ryans full-time pur-
suits with blackboard and slide-rule may
well explain why the team is such a hot

Matter of Principle

The United Nations General Assem-
bly, has moved onto dangerous ground
with its 106-to-l vote against South
Africa. Certainly, in terms of the U. NJ
Charter, there can be little doubt that
the action constitutes fragrant inter-
ference in the internal affairs of
sovereign and orderly land.
Yet the key powers Of the. West,
after having first abStained in q COM
mittee poll on the issue, have reversed
themselves and gone along with the
Afro-Asian bloc in the formal Assembly
vote. This means that the United
StateS-together with Britain, France,
Belgium and others that ordinarily
would have been expected to oppose
it-have supported q resolution that
does two things: ~ Vigorously con-
dennis the South African government
for It's policy Of apartheid, a uniquely
strict form Of racial segregation. And
az demands that that government can
eel the trial of, and set free, several
persons accused OF. sabotage and con-.
Spiracy aimed at the violent overthrow
Of Prime Minister Verwoerd and his
white regime.
What is particularly disturbing
about all this is the second part Of the
resolution. In effect, without really
knowing whether the accused are guilty
or not, the U. N. has preiudged matters
and undertaken to try to dictate to the
South. Africans as to their domestic law
and judicial procedures. Here Is an
example of international buSybodiness
Of the worst sort, and there Is nothing
admirable about the, position our own
country has taken on the issue. True,
our delegate has made of point of going
on record as doubling the wisdom and
legality of such fneddlesomeness. But
at the same time, acting on instructions
from Washington, he has voted for the
Assembly resolution "as whole"
In other words, the United States
has offered only the most pallid and
weasel-worded kind of objection to
something decidedly bad in principle
the demand that South Africa make It's
system of justice conform to the ideas
Of pressure groups in the u. N This Is
deplorable In the extreme. A country
like ours, when it thinks thing is
wrong-as in this instance-should not
compromise or equivocate. Instead, 1t
should stand up and vote no, as loudly
and as clearly as possible.
The time is here, in sum, when the
United States should stop acting as If
1t were engaged in worldwide popu-
larity contest or fearful Of being criti-
cized by such far-left relationships as
Ghana's. Both in and out Of the U. N;
our Government should adhere to prin-
ciple and take its stand accordingly-as
1t has not done in Its vote against South
Africa.

Mr.. DowH Is WRONG

In q condensed letter on this page,
Representative Dowdy Of Texas contests
sur statement that WaShington's down.
town urban renewal bill has only one
major purpose: To permit the District
TO conduct urban renewal activity in
commercial areas" We stick by that
statement, for we think 1t Is the fact.
1t Is readily apparent, as Mr. Dowdy
says, that this bill changes the standards
which determine the eligibility Of "slum"
or "blighted" areas for urban renewal.
How could 1t do otherwise? The cur
rent District law has been held to au-
thorize renewal only in predominantly
residential neighborhoodS. There are no
residences in many commercial areas.
1t should be clear even to Mr.. Dowdy,
therefore, that entirely new standards
and definitions had to be drafted in
order to qualify commercial areas. And
it makes good sense to have a single set
Of standards apply throughout the city.
As to the effect Of these changes
in residential areas, the interpretations
quoted by Mr.. Dowdy are disputed by
urban renewal officials and by the ex-
perts who drafted the bill. Perhaps
the language which defines these new
standards could be improved further
by. the technical experts. Possibly 1t
could be made more specific as to its
limitations. But It is significant, we
think, that William L. Slayton, the Fed
eral Urban Renewal Commissioner, has
stated that the language now proposed
would place the District ION substan-
TALLY the same basis as other major
cities -. and would not grant to the
District Of Columbia powers in excess
Of those presently available in most
States"
That is all that we, and other pro-
ponentS Of this important bill, have been
pleading for-the same authority for
the District to utilize urban renewal
that other cities already possess. The
fact Is that the Gripping amendments
proposed by Mr.. Dowdy would impose
restrictions upon the District which do
not exist elsewhere-a discriminatory
penalty against the Nations Capital
which the House should reject, as the
Senate already has done.

Of world peace, the pros

sembly are more encouraging

ago.
Rise Of Secretary General
Although he lacks the per-
sonal distinction and the &C.
cumulated prestige Of the
late Dag HammarskjoId, Sec
rotary General o ThAnt has
set himself the high task Of
maintaining the independent
powers Of his office. without.
the constant stimulus Of AM
erican support. It would new
er have been possible for Mr..
Hammarskjold to discover
this unsupported power for
executive action. This discoy.
cry was uncongenial to Eng
land. obnoxious to France
and repugnant to Russia.
The primary. credit for the
development Of this policy in
the Kennedy administration,
with its reliance on the ini-
tiatives for peace open to the
Secretary General, should 20
to Mr.. Stevenson and Harlan
Cleveland Of the State De-
partment. If they made any
mistake at all, it was In being
so candid and explicit about
the new policy, instead Of
letting 1t dwell in q decent
obScurity. But they have
been justified by success. The
enlarged authority Of the
Secretary General Is now
safely lodged in the powers
and presidents Of the United
Nations. The full authority
Of his office will be used
without hesitation by the
present Secretary General In
any new crisis.
As always, the United Ma
lions Is q mirror rejecting
the decisions Of governments,
rather than q direct and pri-
mary influence on those de-
cisionS. That is plainly visible
: in this session Of the General
Assembly which is dominated
by a search for new values in
the East-W est relationship.
The Assembly cannot by IT.
self find the path to easier
conditions. But the United
Nations continues to do It's
work for peace, often tedious,
sometimes indispensable,
without ostentation and
without rest. AS they prepare
this week to observe another
United Nations Day, the Am
erican public will be making
no mistake II 1t concludes
that the world organization
deserves something better
than q cautious cheer.
