Kennedy Speaks

President Kennedy was reported
at the time to have been pro-
foundly impressed by the spirit
and content Of the encyclical.
Last Monday he left no doubt Of
it.
In a speech at The American
University, a speech which was de-
scribed beforehand by White
House aides as one Of the Presi-
dents most important foreign pol
icy statements, Mr.. Kennedy gave
new expression to some Of the
major thoughts of the encyclical.
He decided that now was the
"opportune'' time to begin new
meetings with the Russians and he
held out the hope that "construc-
tive changes within the Commu-
mist bloc might bring within
reach solutions which now seem
beyond U.S."
He called upon the American
people to re-examine their Cold
War attitudes and work toward
what he called % strategy of
peace" saying:
Some say that it Is useless to
speak Of peace or world law or
world disarmament-and that 1t
will be useless until the leaders Of
the Soviet Union adopt q more
enlightened attitude. I hope they
do. I believe we can help them
do 1t.
But I also believe that we
must re-examine our own atti-
tudes - as individuals and as
Nation-for our attitude Is as es-
sential as theirs"

said that he was there to ask
the Governors assurance that he
would not bar these students"
In reply, Gov. Wallace read q five
page proclamation Of his own
claiming "unwarranted and force
induced intrusion :. Of the might
Of the central government
(offering) frightful example Of the
suppression Of the rights, privileges
and sovereignty of this State by
officers Of the Federal Govern
ment."
Mr.. Katzenback replied that he
was not interested In "a show"
but Gin the orders Of the courts
being enforced" The Governor
stood firm and Mr.. Katzenbach
turned away. The Negro students
were taken to dormitories to await
the next development.
1884 pm.-President Kennedy,
informed Of the development at
Tuscaloosa. signed an executive
order placing the Alabama Ma
tional Guard In Federal service.
sis pm.-The first unit Of the
federalized Guardsmen arrived on
the campus, MI rifles slung over
their shoulders.
$3.50 p.m.-Brig. Gen. Henry
Graham, commander Of the fed
eralized Guardsmen. escorted the
two students to the auditorium
to register. He was met BY Gov.
Wallace to whom he said: "It Is
my sad duty to ask you to step
aside" ut Is q bitter pill to swal-
low" said the Governor, as he
walked away.
Ssh plm.-Miss Malone and
Mr.. Hood registered as full
fledged students In the Univer-
sity Of Alabama.
Gov. Wallace called off his
promised appearance ct Hunts
vile where q Negro student was
to seek enrolment IN the univer-
sity's extension center. Thus. on
Thursday Dave M. McGlathery
became the universities third Me-
gro student when he appeared
and was routinely admitted. His
presence caused no ripple at all.

Chinese Puzzle

There Is one unknown guam
tity on the Soviet side and one
which could have Q major effect
on its position In the mid-July
talks. The USSR and Red China
are scheduled to hold major talks
on their theological dispute In
Moscow beginning July 5.
The Red Chinese are engaged
In nuclear weapons development,
but have yet TO explode their first
atomic bomb. They have been
bitterly criticizing their Russian
colleagues for being soft toward
capitalism" and timid on the
matter Of spreading the Commu-
mist system by war. y
If the Soviet Union, as Mr..
Khrushchev asserts. Is anxious to
patch up It's dispute with Peking,
the test ban talks with the West
could easily fail. II, on the other
hand. the Kremlin decides not TO
yield an inch in It's insistence
that the Communist bloc pursue
a policy Of peaceful co-existence
and strive to avert q nuclear war
with the West. the prospects for
progress In the effort to outlaw
nuclear testing will be brighter.
That the Kennedy address has
made Q favorable impact on the
Soviet hierarchy was suggested by

|a The WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
On Meeting a Moral Crisis

Negro students were enrolled
In the University Of Alabama
last week, cllmaxing the most
intense fight In years over ex-
tension Of civil rights.
Almost 10 years ago the SUI
preme Court said that Negroes
could not be excluded from pub
Unsupported schools on grounds
Of race. In recognition Of the
great change which the policy
would bring about. the court al
lowed the State to exercise dis
creation In putting 1t into practice.
In the years which have fol-
lowed the speed or sIowness Of
the admission Of Negroes to for
merly all-white schools has been
the subject Of unending bitter
ness and disturbance. Last week
that fight was all but over: In
every one Of the so States Of the
United States Negroes and whites
were going to school together.
The victory was hard-won:
Q In Alabama there was the sad
spectacle Of Gov. George c. Wal
lace making q futile, dramatic
stand in the doorway at the State
University to try to bar physically
two Negro students. The Federal
Government. almost incredibly
mobilized, quickly called into
service the Alabama National
Guard and over-ruled the Gov
ernor In a presentation of force.
Q In Washington President Ken
nedy went before the Nation
within matter of hours with an
appeal for understanding Of the
Negroes aspirations for further
rights. He promised new legisla-
ton this week designed to put
further extension Of rights into
effect.
o In Mississippi, q symbol Of the
always present threat Of violence
in the rights fight came during
the late hours Of the same night
when q Negro leader, Medger w.
Evers, was shot and killed by q
sniper outside his home as he was
returning from q civil rights rally.
The killing. universally con-
demned, focused more attention
to the possibilities Of greater dam
ger to the tides Of strong racial
feeling sweeping the country.
The general feeling was that
the President had spoken &C.
cvrately-and with precedence
when he had said In his speech
only . few hours before:
I'VE face q moral crisis as o
country and as q people"

Bills Next

he would send 10 Congress this
week q long discussed legislative
program:
1. A bill 10 give 10 all .Ameri-

public hotels. restaurants. thea
ters. retail stores and similar es-
adjustments.
2. A bill 10 authorize the Fed

the proposal. Former Presidents
Dwight d. Eisenhower and Harry

These appeals for the widest

came that despite the generally
accepted urgency Of the program.

President Kennedy, calling
for an end TO the Cold War,
announced ON Monday high

did Westerners, who also found
hope in his suggestion of the pos
