Factors Against Idea That the Group
Will Block Measure Are Examined
DORIS FLEESON

As Adlsi Stevenson once
remarked. what this country
needs is some new cliches.
1t Is part Of the Washing
ton credo that the Rules
Com mittee which acts as
traffic policeman for the
House is automatically a
massive roadblock to any leg
islation embraced by the
adjectives liberal or progress
sive.
Yet. House Rules has Just
cleared for compromise eff
forts conflicting House and
Senate versions of a college
construction bill and a pack
age aid measure. Chairman
Smith said a voice vote was
so overwhelming, no roll call
was needed.
The fact is that at this
particular point in history
the relations between the
Speaker and Rules have new
er been better. What Speaker
Mccormack wants or is per-
suaded by the White House
to give the old school try for
has an excellent chance to
get past Rules.
The Speaker built these
relations through the years.
They have been subject to
relatively little strain because
the Kennedy administration
has sharply limited the num-
Der Of detectives for which it
is willing TO go down the line,
taking risks and making en-
emies.
Another factor Of internal
House politics renders Rules
particularly malleable right
now. A liberal member, HON.
er Thornberry Of Texas, has

it would be a conspicuous re-
treat" if the United States
abandoned its moonshot plans,
in a Boston speech to the an
nual meeting Of the Associated
Industries Of Massachusetts,.
Challenging critics Of the
multibillion dollar moon prof.
ect, Mr.. johnson said, lead
ership in space is decisive to
leadership on earth.
ut is a fact the moon land
ing will cost money. But it is
not a truth that abandonment
of this objective would cost
less.
THE dollars not spent would.
be worth no more than the
confidence the world would
have in our system after such
"a conspicuous withdrawal and
retreat.
Likewise, the discretion we
would have to divert those
dollars to schools, housing,
medicine and food would be
controlled by the reaction of
our adversaries to the oppor-
tunity such q default on our
part would present for them to
exploit"

critics Of this particular pro-
vision that such q law would
open the way to legal contro-
versies on freedom Of the
press and freedom of worship
and a host Of other questions
where Congress hitherto has
not delegated any such broad
power to the Department Of
Justice.
As soon as It became evi-
dent that the bill was Of an
extreme nature, some Of the
members of Congress who do
not want to see any legisla-
ton at all passed seized the
opportunity to help get the
strong bill out Of the House
com mittee and onto the
floor. where it might readily
be defeated and no substitute
enacted at this session of
Congress.
Being practical politicians,
the President and the Attor-
ney General are anxious to
get some civil rights legisla-
ton passed right away. They
would like to avoid a lengthy
controversy in Congress dur
ing 1864 as the presidential
campaign approaches. If
they could succeed in having
enacted the first comprehen-
sive civil rights legislation
passed by Congress in more
than 100 years, they would
be satisfied. The administra-
ton. of course, is following a
normal and natural course in
politics. Many Of the Negro
leaders, on the other hand,
have gotten an exaggerated
impr ession Of what the
March on Washington really
meant in a political 81 nse
and are insisting on an all
or-nothing procedure.
There are, moreover, some
Republicans in Congress who
are quick to take advantage
of this situation and who will
not only help to get the bills
out of C mmittee but will
vote for them on the floor
because they wish to put
their Democratic opponents
in a hole and go before the
Negro voters in the populous
States as having championed
a really strong civil rights
measure. The whole contro-
versy is characteristic Of the
game of politics.

Maybe there viii have TO
be another March on Wash
ington, and this time the
demonstration may have to
be directed to President Ken
nedy, himself.
For the Rev. DR.. Martin
Luther King, jr., hero Of the
last march and perhaps the
most prominent Of the Negro
integration leaders, feels that
Mr.. Kennedy has "retreated"
on the proposed civil rights
legislation. DR.. King has Just
said in a public speech that
mo President can be great or
even fit for office if he at
tempts to accommodate poll
teal expediency with human
rights"
InlS crltlclSm came as a
result Of the efforts Of the
President and the Attorney
General to obtain a civil
rights bill which would get
through both houses Of Con-
gress. DR.. King accused the
administration Of using bad
tactics" and said that, "if
you start with a weak bill,
and then get it watered
down." it could become "a
nothing bill"
The President, however, is
much more ia miliar with
what goes on behind the
scenes in Congress than Is
DR.. King. Having been a
member of the House as well
as the Senate, Mr.. Kennedy
Is acquainted with the many

that is stronger, he could al
ways give his support to it.
The Nation is witnessing
at the moment one of the
unfortunate political results
Of the n merous marches
and demonstrations through

cause, have made 1t even

JOSEPH KRAFT

Governments, ike women,
are rarely as silly as they
sound. Even the absurd Dor
der quarrel between Morocco
and Algeria has an inner
political logic. In d e e d, the
reasons that make a clash
advantageous for both gov
ernments run so deep that
the trouble is almost certain
to get worse before 1t can get
better.
Consider. first. the regime
Of King Hassan II In Moroc-
CO. Ever since coming to the
throne in 1861. the young
monarch has been under in
tense pressure from a domes-
tic opposition under the
lea derShip Of Mehdi Ben
Barka. The Ben Barka oppo-
sition favors republican gov
eminent, major land reform
and a quickening change in
Morocco's archaic social
structure. Recent local cleo
tons indicate that the oppo-
sition commands increasing
strength In the country. Even
more important, the opposi-
ton commands the sympa-
thy Of most Of the other AZ
rican and Arab govern
mentS - and notably the
regime in Algeria-which are
themselves anti monarchial
and partial to land reform
and rapid social change.
To neutralize the opposi-
ton, King Hassan has made
the centerpiece Of his foreign
policy territorial claims
against q state to the south
with which he does not even
have a common border
Mauritania. These claims
make possible a nationalist
appeal to the army and the
Moroccan people. More to
the point, they serve to dis
credit Ben Barka, with his
foreign supporters. as an
agent Of the enemy.
It was in keeping with that
political tactic. that the
Moroccan Army. early this
month, occupied two remote
outposts on the Algerian Dor
der. While unimportant in
themselves, or even for any
kind Of pressure on Algeria,
the two .outposts are STEP
ping-stones to the Saharan
town Of Tindouf. And Tin
douf, while not much more
important than the two out
posts, lies on the border of
Mauritania. Thus the Mo-
roccan incurSion served to
underline the issue of Maure-
tania which is Hassan's prin-
cipal weapon against the
domestic opposition.
Consider, now, the Algeri-
an regime Of President
Ahmed Ben Bella. Ever since
taking power two years ago,
Ben Bella has been un der
pressure from former COM
rades. most Of them from the
Kabylie district, whom he
beat out for the Algerian
leadership. They have
charged Ben Bella with NOV
ing too slowly toward the
detectives of the seven-year
Algerian war of independ-
ence, land reform. liquida-
ton of foreign influence, and
social modernization. Their
opposition took on real i'm
portance early this m ont h
when revolt against Ben
Bella flared in the Kabylie
district.

Abbott intended the paintings to
be a pictorial documentary to help
achieve a better and more realistic

Indian medical care--and of the
people who must cope with their
problems.
The artists spent severa |
months travelling more than 2O,OOO
miles, from the Mexican border to
200 miles below the Arctic Circle,
to document the medical care and
related health conditions of various
American Indian tribes. They

Cain, Chairman of the Board and

SO documentary paintings on Indian
medical care to Arrow, Inc,
non-profit organization for the ad-
vancement of the American Indian.
The presentation was made at a
luncheon held in Washington, DC.
at the Skyline Inn.
Accepting the paintings on be-
half of Arrow was Rep. BenReifel,
(R) SD. Rep. Reifel, Vice-Presi-
dent of Arrow, is a Sioux Indian
and graduate of Harvard Univer-
sity.
Rep. Reifel commended Abbott
for its contribution of a pictorial
record on Indian culture.
'lt is refres shing to note that a
pharmaceutical company such as
Abbott is not only in the business
of developing medicine for saving
lives. but through its program of
fine art also enriches our lives"
he said.
''Paintings such as these will
go long way toward developing
better under standing ofthe Ameri-
can Indian and his problems" he
added, "and we are highly honored
to be made the permanent custo-
dians of this valuable and unique
collection"
In attendance at the luncheon
were Cabinet Members, Congress
sional Repre- esentativeS from states
where the paintings were created
and various Tribal Leaders, as
well as government officials on
Indian Affairs.
Valued at $50. 900, the collection
is the work of four leading Ameri-
can artists who were commits
stoned by Abbott in 1949.
The artists were Edward Mill
man. Frede Vidar. Edward Chavez
and Fletcher Martin, all of whom
are represented in such galleries
as the Metropolitan Museum. The

Museum of Modern Art, The Ma
tional Gallery and many others.
