THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
An Overall Gain in Ria hts

Arrests and violence marked
the opening of desegregated
schools in a handful of North
ern and Southern cities last
week. But aside from a per-
sOnal State-Federal vendetta
in Alabama, the cause of school
indignation passed another
landmark on its way to a last
ing achievement.
The 1868 civil rights campaign,
a show of unparalleled unity only
the week before. returned to the
realm of action last week and
encountered resistance.
AS the 1854 public school
year began, 1873 districts in
the Southern and border region
began desegregation. 1t was the
largest number of school districts
to abandon the color line since
1856.
AS usual, the hot spots drew
the most attention. There was
trouble in Birmingham, Ala, in
EngleWood, N. j., and on Long
Island. Aggravating the problem
in one State was a feud between
Alabama Gov. George c. Wallace
and Washington.
But the tumult distracted the
public from the real news. In
city after city, Negro children en-
tered white schools for the first
time. Often they did it without
police escorts, in a calm at
mosphere. Even in Cambridge,
Md, where violence had occurred
earlier this year, Negroes enrolled
in five new locations to the &C
compartment of only minor
heckling.
In Charleston, S. c., a few shy
gestures of friendship were Of
fered by some students to the
newcomers as previously all-white
elementary and high schools were
opened to Negroes.

Two Courses

1t would seem that if Mr.. Diem
is not going to GUST his brother
or If the latter does not leave the
government voluntarily, the United
States has one of two courses open
to it for winning" the war out
there:
l. 1t can bide its time and, at
an opportune moment, seek to
topple the Diem regime. This pre-
supposes the finding of an effec-
tive and popular replacement and
the willingness of the United
States to be charged with gross
interference in the internal affairs
of another country.
2. 1t can increase substan-
TALLY its military and economic
aid to South Wet Nam. We have
about $4,000 military men cad
viserSD there now.
OF course, Mr.. Kennedy's fears
may be excessive. 1t may be that
a successful military effort can
be carried out even if the Mus
remain in positions of influence.
Also, the Mus could moderate
their views. Latest reports from
Saigon indicated that no great
change in the military combat
situation has developed in the
past week or two.

Unwonted Troopers

Was George Wallace trying to
taunt Washington into sending
Federal troops? Was there really
danger of violence at every school,
so great that local police couldn't
handle it?
One answer came from Hunts
vile Mayor r. B. Searcy: This
is an unfortunate situation we
have been subjected to by the
Governor. We did not ask for
troopers to be sent in here and
I did not want them"
Exasperated, a group of rs
mothers finally marched their
children to the line of burly
troopers at one Huntsville school.
Don't hurt them, don't hurt
them; let them go I'M" shouted
an officer. And in went thu
mothers with their children.
There's a suspicion" a United
States Department of Justice aide
remarked in Washington, that
Wallace is trying to provoke us
into opening the schools by force
We would rather not accommo-
date him If 1t can be avoided"
With the help of the Housewives,

Both men also asserted that they
will work for better relations with
the United States.
These expressions by the BROTH
erS, who are known to have fierce
family loyalties, hardly indicated
parting of the ways.
If the Mus stay does this
mean, as Mr.. Kennedy suggested
without mentioning their names,
that the Communist guerrillaS
cannot be defeated? Does it mean
further that the strategically To-
Gated country, for which we have
spent nearly SO billion since 1854,
will slip be hind the Bamboo
Curtain?
Not exactly. Mr.. Kennedy made
it quite plain that he rejects the
advice, of some Americans who
say we should pull out of South
Wet Nam. He said we are pre-
pared to continue out military aid.
II don't agree with those who
say we should withdraw" he said.
That would be a great mistake

gle even though it is far away"

self dispatching State troopers
against housewives.
The faSt-building crisis began
when local officials planned to de-
segregate schools in Tuskegee,
Birmingham, Huntsville and Mo-
bile. Gov. Wallace blocked the
move in TuSkegee Monday by
sealing off a high school there
with State troopers Ito preserve
the peace" although no trouble
had been indicated. Huntsville
postponed school opening for
three days at his request.
He mysteriously failed to send
troopers Wednesday to halt two
Negroes from enrolling in a Bir-
mngham school, but all schools
scheduled to desegregate were
closed at his request the next day
following the bombing of a Negro
lawyers home and an ensuing
riot.
The Governor shut down four
schools In Huntsville Friday with
troopers, again ito preserve the
peace" but by then some citizens
thought they saw politics in the
maneuver.

Who's in Charge

II make decisions and before
history I, not my advisers, must
accept the responsibilities for the
decisions" he said.
Mr.. Diem said that his
brother who, at So, is 10 years his
junior, lis working for his coun-
try and has no political ambi-
tons" In a separate interview,
Mr.. Nhu made the same assertion,
saying: MY wife and I do not
want to make politics a career.

Went Wrong

This year. carrying out a cam
paign promise to disobey any
school Indignation order, he has
clashed with President Kennedy,
complained against Federal troops
in his State, and literally stood
in the schoolhouse door" to bar
Negroes.
But last week the Wallace dra-
matics went strangely awry. In
stead Of portraying the little man
against the Feds, he found him.

The study is to be done by Re-

other members of the staff are

The object of the work will be
to provide background information
and preliminary recommendation
in response to the application of
the tri-state association and South

The counties to be included in
the study are Fayette, Somerset

Preston, Taylor Barbour, Tucker,
Grant, Mineral, Hampshire, Hardy
and Pcnd!cton counties in West

Mr.. Hctz said the group would
request cooperation of the North

for data on timber resources by
counties concerning commercial
forest land, ownership, growing
stock volume by species groups,
the present annual growth and cut
by species, the existing timber in
dustries, including sawmill, pulp
wood activities, etc.
No time limit was set for the
study and there was no announce

The result of the study could
be far reaching in providing en-
