The public has been, alas,
misled. All is not what 1t
seems, even on these clear
and frosty days. But we con-
templative observers Of the
body polite and the body
protoplasmic, we soothsayers
OF things seen and things I'M
seen now perceive the truth
and must say our sooth:
The schism inside the pal
ace has occurred, although
its occupants do not even
dimly perceive 1t themselves,
because to date 1t is psyche
logical in nature, not yet po-
litical. But implicit and or
dained are two symbols, two
images, two ways of life for
the American people to fol-
low, and the choice cannot
be long postponed certainly
not beyond 1868. We are Of

most commonplace Of poll
ticians. 1t is disappointing,
however, to see Powell--a
spiritual as well as a political
leader-not setting a better
example. The tragedy Of the
long Powell career in office
is that he, unusually gifted
with intelligence, talent and
personality. has chosen to be
equal with the least con-
scientious in Congress rather
than the most.

and not be accused of run

Powell said he has changed
his mind and will not retire
but instead will seek another
term.
This is really bad news,
for New York and for Con-
greSs."
There are other implica-
tions in the episode besides
the political aspects. Here's
a man who is chairman of
one Of the top-ranking COM
mittees in Congress - the
House Committee on Educa-
ton and Labor. Legislation
in the field Of labor is highly
important these days. and so
are the many bills designed
TO furnish Federal aid to the
States for the benefit of edu-
cational institutions Of all
kinds. But Mr.. Powell is fire.
quently absent. Under the
seniority system, he has been
elected chairman and cannot
be displaced except by a vote
Of his colleagues. They. how
ever, are afraid to remove
him because they, too, might
be branded as having racial
prejudices - a charge that
could be intensified in local
political campaigns.

would have to come from the
highly respected Negro lead

tended that patriotism and
dedication to the public in

1t is 'unequivocally' because
he is a Negro.
Nobody would be object
ing to his long, outrageous
record as a congressional alb
sentee; no one would have
noticed his night-clubbing
junkets to Europe; the pres
ence Of his wife on the con-
gressional payroll at over
$4,000, while resident in
Puerto Rico, would have been
ignored, as would Powell's
own desertion Of responsibility
as a House committee chair
man in the midst of i'm
portant hearings. All these
possible explanations for dis
pleasure by his colleagues and
other critics including our
selves have no validity, Mr..
Powell states. His only mis-
take Is that he is not white.
1T is not unexpected that
Mr.. Powell has chosen such
a convenient and demagogic
refuge. Appeal to race and
the drumming UP Of charges
Of bigotry have long been his
political stock in trade. The
fact is that a Negro in high
office usually - rightly or
wrongly - receives favored
treatment, and is nearly ex-
empt from criticism, in the
press and elsewhere, unless
his faults are so obvious that
silence becomes intolerable.
There is a general and laud-
able desire to see a Negro
succeed when he has attained
a position Of public trust.
Criticism is avoided for the
very reason that 1t might be
mistaken for prejudice. Now
Mr.. Powell has again raised
the racial issue in a desperate
gesture Of self-defense.
He Is not alone In being
criticized for junketing
around the world on flimsy
missions at the taxpayers
expense. He is not unique in
being criticized for having q
member of the family on the
payroll-although 1t must be

sented as an anti-recession
measure.
Few things in heaven, hell
or Moscow are feared as
much by politicians as a
harsh recession. Many Of
them were as surprised as the
President by the general pub
lie disinterest in the first
Kennedy tax proposals, for
they had assumed that recess
sion still had the old power
to brighten the voters.
It seems 1t has not. This
suggests not merely that q
whole generation has grown
UP in relatively good times
but that the hardships gen.
Grated by the slow pace Of
the economy tend to be con-
centrated and hit unevenly
over the country.
The tax fight will be long
and hard fought. 1t almost
surely means another mara
thon session Of Congress, as
the President Is determined
to win through on the issue
this year so that more good
les can be spread before the
voters in 1864.
This is one fight where the
final outcome cannot be pre-
sented as a victory, even If
1t is not. The Presidents en-
envy is the economic forces
which will plague him in an
election campaign and In his
second term If his cure fails.
The Republicans are a Sec
ondary antagonist. The cure
has got to work II the Pres
ident is to enjoy the White
House.

WEST AFRICA: After the
First World War there was a
popular song titled How You
Gonna Keep EN- Down on
the Farm After They've
Seen Paree2" One thinks Of 1t
often today as the cities Of
the world become daily more
crowded.
Guinea has made an at
tempt to control 1t. The
method is interesting and, to
some. dismaying, because 1t
restricts freedom OF move
ment. The Guineans do not
contest this. Their plan
frankly is designed TO slow
down movement TO their capt.
tai city. where there already
is some unemployment.
The regulation requires a
person wishing TO leave his
district TO obtain a permit.
II granted he must estab-
lish six months residence be-
fore being eligible for a Job.
To the government this is a
more practical approach TO a
problem than permitting the
city TO fiji up with persons
unable to find work. An al
ready pinched budget cannot
take on the burden OF relief.
In rural Guinea there are
fruits and every village has
vegetables. Rice may be in
short supply. but no one
would starve.
Here we have an example
Of one Of the new nations,
with It's industries not yet
developing at a rate requir-
ing additional labor and with
an agriculture being called
upon TO produce more, trying

Critics who point out a
lack Of responsibility on the
part Of some of the Negro
leaders in America are often
"racistS." Public school
teachers in Washington heSi-
tate to discipline Negro stu
dents for fear Of being called
"racists." The latest to decry
criticism and attribute 1t to
racial prejudice is Represent
alive Adam Clayton Powell,
jr., Democrat, chairman Of
the House Education and
Labor Committee, who has
been elected to Congress 10
:imeS by the Negro popula-
zion Of the Harlem district
Of New York City.
When Senator John j. Will
liams of Delaware, Republic
can, recently made a speech
in the Senate charging that
Mr.. Powell was being shown
favored treatment by the
administration and was not
being compelled to pay up
back taxes, the New York
Congressman replied with a
denunciation of Senator
Williams as a man guilty of
race prejudice. 1t happens
that the Delaware Senator
has voted in support of most
all of the civil rights legis-
lation introduced in Congress
since he has been in the
Senate.
Now comes the New York
Times to take Mr.. Powell to
task for his statement. The
record Of the Times as q
longtime champion Of the
indignation movement is well
known.
The Times isn't being pub
lished in New York City be-
cause of the strike, but it
continues to publish on the
Pacific Coast a i4-page edi-
ton, including an editorial
page, every day. In the issue
