LETTERS TO THE STAR
A Sad, SenseIess Day for All Concerned

Intyre American Council Of
Church adherents. Even
David Lawrence must share
with Governor Wallace the
blame for incitement Of the
hoodlum elements by his COL
uInns.
We cannot restore the lives
of the four innocent children
killed by barbarians Just as
they were on Sunday learn
ing the Christian lesson
whose topic was, "A Love
that forgives," but we can
dedicate our lives to the task
removing this blot Of racism
from America.

licity. Va. State NAACP
If what has happened to
those poor little innocent Ne
gro children in Alabama, had
happened to white children,
much more drastic actions
would have been taken by
now. A reward has been Of
fered for the capture Of the
murderers. What will actually
happen when they are
caught? Will 1t be the same
old false justice that has
taken place in the past?
For what are we waiting
the death of more innocent
children, white and colored?
How many innocent children
will have to be killed before
the FEDERAL Government
really takes over and hand
cuffs the indirect murderers
like Wallace who are running
wild and encouraging the
murderers who are killing in
nocent children and adults? Z?
They are worse than wild
animals who have fled their
cages!

The latest bombing in
Birmingham, killing four
young girls while attending a
Sunday School class in a
Baptist church, shows that
Gov. Wallace's policy of nom
integration has become fatal
In his own State. These cruel
murders could have been
avoided If Wallace had not
promoted segregation by
closing the schools.
There is going to be more
violence If Wallace doesn't
change his ways. Negro cit

PARIS.

Anus.
Whatever differences may
exist between the French and
Germans, it is quite clear
that President Kennedy faces
the united opposition of his
major European allies in
working toward the next step
in a relaxation Of East West
tensions.
Both France and West
Germany are firmly opposed
to the idea Of further agree
ments with the Russians
which bypass the heart Of
the cold war conflict in
Europe. And both, it would
seem, are in a strong position
to block the plans Of the
American administration in
this direction.
At the opening OF the 18th
session of the United Nations
General Assembly In New
York it is widely assumed in
Europe that the United
States will press to preserve
the momentum Of the East
West thaw begun by the
signing Of the nuclear test
ban treaty. The treaty itself
has been repeatedly classified
as nothing more than "a
first step" toward wider
agreements in other fields by
American and Russian
leaders.
Possible future agreements
most often discussed are a
non-aggreSsion pact between
NATO and the Communist
bloc Warsaw Pact nations
which the Russians have
been strenuously plugging
and possible measures
against surprise attack, in
cluding the Stationing Of OBJ
servers across the Iron Cur
tain.
It was expected In Wash
ington that these PROPOSE
tions would be the subject Of
intensive allied consultation
during the summer months.
But to the extent that the
consultations have actually
taken place the results have
been almost entirely mega
tive.
The French and German
opposition to these suggested
negotiations have been con-
firmed in the course Of a
visit to Paris this week of
German Foreign Minister
Gerhard Schroeder. It will
be reinforced again during
the farewell meeting of
Chancellor Adenauer and
French President de Gaulle
this week end.
Differ on German Issue
Curiously enough it was
the differences between Mr..
Schroeder and French For
eign Minister Maurice Couve
de Murville rather than their
basic agreement that were
emphasized in the wake of
their meeting here. The Ger
mans, it developed, are in
favor Of negotiations with
the Russians. But the nego-
tiations they have in mind
are very different from those
envisaged by the Kennedy
administration.
From what he said in
Evening star., 1963-09-19

If 1t be true. as the an
clients believe, that the gods
look down at mankind from
Olympian Heights and are
amused, angered, and made
compassionate by what they
see, there must have been
loud, ironic laughter when
Gov. George Orley Wallace,
Of Alabama. offered a reward
Of 5000 for the arrest Of the
men responsible for dynamit-
ing q Negro church in Birm-
ingham at the Sunday school
hour and killing. thereby,
four children and injuring %
at the m o m ent they we're
hearing the Gospel chapter
on love.
This bombing, like others
before it, was a harvest Of
things sown. Gov. Wallace,
for all his urgings that there
be no violence, cannot esacpe
the widely held opinion that
he has, by his closing Of
school doors a gainst court
orders and his appeals to the
people to keep up the fight, "
contributed to the climate Of
general resistance by those
whose only concept Of fight
ing on" is the dynamite
bomb, rifle and pistol fire,
and the fire bomb. by night.
History of Violence
Birmingham and the In
dustrial communities about I
1t, like others in coal and
steel areas, have q long and
ugly history Of violence. The
sharecropper who came to the
mines and the steel mills
brought bitterness and pre-
judice with him. 1t remains
In 1908 q miners strike In
the Birmingham district was
broken by troops. At that
time the condition Of Goa,
miners everywhere was one
Of piteous exploitation. The
strike produced perhaps l0C
or more incidents Of dyna.
miting and violence.
In the national coal strike
of 1922. when for the first
time the deplorable condi.
tons under which hum q r
beings lived and worked were
made public, violence be-
came almost q way Of life

Incredible Column

I first read David Law
rence's incredible colum n,
Answering Birmingham
Bombers." and I became al
most actively Ill.
Then I read your editorial
Mr.. Lawrence's Thesis" In
which you stated that
speaking for ourselves we
reject Mr.. Lawrence's views
on this subject as tasteless
and absurd" You added, pro-
perly, that "this is the time
for shame. not for self-righ-
teousness."
I wish to thank The Star
for its timely and indignant
ly forceful comment. It is my
firm belief that you. rather
than Mr.. Lawrence, express
the true feelings Of the over
whelming majority Of decent
citizens not only in this city
but in this country.
Spencer Cleveland.
Whoever wrote that frivo-
lous editorial criticizing David
Lawrence will have occasion
10 regret 1t. Lawrence's posi-
ton is C Characterized by
craftsmanship while the
competing column which you
lauded manifest shallow and
opportunistic emotionalism
and In its attitude Is trail
torous to the South. Natural
ly deep sorrow over the Bir-
mingham tragedy is sincerely
shared by all patriotic and
self-respecting citizens Of the
United States.

Well, strange as it may seem, If I had
to list my favorite shows, the addis
ton of only a couple of more to the
ones already mentioned and you
have it.
II we cannot make our wants
known by writing, what is there left
to do? A boycott is the only solution
have. refuse to watch the replace
ment shows, regardless. However. this
is little satisfaction.
The ratings system HAVE to be in
error. To test them, wouldn't 1t
be logical to have a card (IBM type)
inserted in all TV magazines asking
people who care to circle the pro-
grams they regularly watch every
night. or even Just certain nights of
the week. Run through q key
punch system, 1t wouldn't take long
to go through $4,000 cards and you'd

Listen When Harvard University
gave Ralph McGill an honorary

Even the words of the Atlantic

of self applause: "T Is is the

read about the South in my time"
No matter. When Ralph McGill
discovered he could not be major

we were after them to get a pic
ture -"
A. Of course, that was our duty
under Senate Resolution 366, and
that is what we did, try to per-
form the responsibilities the SEN
ate had placed upon us.
Now, this one present subject
is one segment of that overall
duty; and generally we have in
vestigated every communist cell
that we could get information on,
yes, sir, as a basis for legislation.
O. Is it the purpose of the COM

people in every cell?
A. We got what information we
could, yes, sir.
@. Is it your purpose to get as
many names of communists as
there were?
A. No.
@. What is the purpose?
A. The purpose was, of course,
to get the extent, get what they
were doing, and see what legis-
latively we could do to hamper
communist infiltration and DOM
nation in this country.
O. Therefore, the purpose was
to get all the cells and all the
people in the cells?
A. I say I think that the Senate
Resolution 366 places that respon-
sibility on the Judiciary Commit
tee, and the Judiciary Committee
has passed it on to the Internal
Security Subcommittee.
@. Do you remember in what
authorization that was?
A. But this is just one segment
of the overall picture. What you
have asked me is the over l
picture.
@. That is correct. And is the
overall picture, then, that the
committee feels it should get all
the cells past and present and all
the people in them on the record?

is what we have tried to do. The
