Chester Bowles. the United
States Ambassador 10 India,
has just delivered four lee
lures at Delhi University
that should have a most ben
eficial effect on future deus
sions Of economic develop
ment. Although his primary
concern is with India. his an
alysis has valuable lessons
for developing nations
throughout Asia, Africa and
Latin America.
Few Americans could speak
to an Asian audience with
the frankness and sense Of
challenge which Mr.. Bowles
has displayed in these lee
lures. His audiences. knowing
that he is a friend Of India
and Of all the emergent ma
tons, welcomed criticisms
from him.
In essence. Mr.. Bowles is
pleading for q revision Of
first principles. He wants us
to look at economic develop
ment in the larger context Of
nation-building. This shift in
emphasis would mean that
We would care less about the
exact size Of the foreign aid
budget than we would about
the social and economic pur-
poses to be served by our aid
program. 1t would also mean
that we would give higher
priority to rural development
than to industrial expansion.
In one Of these lectures
Ambassador Bowles recalls
that as a member Of Con-
gress he wanted to impose
the obligation of self-help on
every recipient Of American
aid. He might have added
that he always used his in
fluence as a senior member
of the Kennedy admins
tration to discourage the no.
ton that mistaken detectives

But citizens Of the Lone Star
State. perhaps because they
knew so much better, loved
the joke. And now that the
world has recoiled with hor-
ror at the shootings In Dallas
the joke is sour.
With all the clever press
agentry that Texans can
command perhaps it Is time
to reshape the image OF the
Texan. What Is needed is not
a phony image. but q true
one. It's time Texas told her
real story.
Sure, there were violent
beginnings. The men who
followed Sam Houston over
the Ozarks and down the
Texas Trail carried their law
in their holsters. The Alamo
was messy and so was Goliad
and San Jacinto. And the
Comanches were not amena-
able to gentle persuasion, nor
did they get it.
But Texas was built. not
with the gun, but with the
pillow and the wire-stretcher,
the windmill and the drill
bit. It was built by an awful
lot of little people who never
killed anything, but who
drained water where there
was too much and pumped
water where there was too
little. Texas had huge natural
resources, 1t Is true. But in
many parts Of the world with
similar resources people live
IN misery.
1t was not the quick firing
Texan. but the g-thinking
Texan, who made the State.
This big-thinking became a
fetish, and a grand one it
proved. In Texas you were
not only supposed to look to
the horizon but to bend your
sight a little beyond 1t, If
possible. Every jerkwater
hamlet had great plans and
the struggle to be the big
town in the area was q dead
ly serious one in which most

Oswald Slayer Believed His Shooting
Was in Best Tradition of the State

Jack Ruby thought he
would be a hero.
He was suffering from
what might be called the
Texas syndrome-the idea
that in the face Of outrage
the strong man in the wide
hat whips out his gun and
sets things right.
It was the Law West Of the
PecoS all over again.
For many years Texans
have nurtured the legend Of
the Tall Texan behind the
smoking gun. And the major
ity Of the people in the world
who don't know any real
Texans believe 1t. So Texas
was vulnerable when the
President was killed in Texas
by q man identified as q
Texan and when two days la
ter another Texan killed the
alleged killer.
How do you generalize
about Texans2 Some native
born Texans can't speak a
word Of English. Some are as
black as their Ivory Coast
ancestors. The woodsman Of
East Texas, the citrus grower
Of the Valley. the cotton far
mer on the Staked Plains
and the women's clothes de-
sfgner In Dallas represent as
much variety as you can find
In all America.
Texas shares with every
other State and every other
country the misfortune Of
having q few people, who
have more money than
brains. But for some reason
only Texas has effectively
advertised this tiny solid
gold Cadillac and hiS-and-
her-airplane minority. Tex
ans have been the most avid
collectors and repeaters of
Jokes that have dashed Texas
TO the stereotype Of the
hrainless Millionaire.
THE crude Texan, the vio-
lent Texan. fall far short of
telling the story Of Texans.

Honeymoon of New President Seen
As Ending When Decisions Are Made

Overnight q whole govern
ment changes its leadership.
but sometimes It takes sever
al weeks or months for the
political consequences to be
fully appraised.
Based on past experience.
the mood after the inaugura-
ton Of a President is usually
one Of virtual unanimity. and
1t takes q few months
sometimes q year or two
before the so-called honey
moon" Is over. This doesn't
mean that a President him.
self then suddenly loses
popularity. It merely means
that. when a President has
had to make decisions, he
finds that those who don't
agree with him become
voluble opponents.
Back In 1923. when Vice
President Coolidge had sue
ceeded to the presidency, the
country hailed the new
President as entirely differ
ent from his predecessor
Warren Harding. Mr.. Cool
hdge was elected President In
his own right in 1924. This
correspondent recalls sitting
alone one day In 1927 with
President Coolidge, and the
conversation turned to the
number of subjects on which
he was encountering opposi-
ton. He said somewhat
ruefully:
When a man is a success
full candidate and has as yet
had no responsibility for the
making Of decisions on
public policy. he is strongest
with the voters. When he
comes into office, however,
he has 20 decide things.
There are always two sides,
sometimes three. But the
moment you make a decision,
you find yourself with oppo-
sition. The sum total Of these
grievances has its effect by
the time you run for office
again"
The foregoing line of
thought may have been
influential In Mr.. Coolidge's
announce ent not long
afterwards that he didn't
choose to run" for re-elec-
ton in 1928.
Today. President Johnson
enjoys a popularity equal to
that which is often bestowed
on a new President. He has
not yet made any fundamen-
tai decisions that could
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-12-16

develop opposition Of the sort
that plagued his predecessor.
Mr.. johnson is cautious and
will not invite unnecessary
controversy nor cross any
bridges just yet that he
doesn't have to cross. But
there inevitably will come a
time when decisions on
major issues will have to be
made.
The civil rights" problem
Is a case in point. There has
been a lot Of surmise lately
with respect to the hitherto
anti-administration attitude
Of the South. Some reports
have said that the South has
already changed its view
because a "Southerner" is in
the White House. Some
political writer's have gone so
far as to say that Senator
Goldwater's expectation Of
carrying the South, II nomi-
mated, has been wiped out
altogether by the change in
the White House.
This is to oversimplify
American politics. The
Southern citizen knows that
integration isn't an easy
problem to solve, but he has
been taught for generations
that community life Is a
matter within State and
local Jurisdiction. Forced
Indignation is a relatively
new experience. Some of
the people in the South are
prepared to accept certain
changes. but the vast majori-
ty retain deep-seated objec-
tons.
What will President john
son do about it all? Will he
retreat from President Ken
nedy's position and thus
ALLEVIATE many people in
Northern districts where the
Negro vote and the liberal"
vote could perhaps be mobil-
lied against him In the
presidential election Just q
few months away7 II he
adopts the Kennedy policies,
will the South abruptly
forget its feelings and sup
port him anyway Human
nature doesn't change so
rapidly. It sometimes re-
quires a longer period Of
evolution. Once 1t is known
where President johnson is
to stand, there is sure to be
opposition. This merely
means that when a decision
is made, division naturally
arises.

Her arrival was greeted
