RondoIph-Henry Senior

School is wonderful, l like
it, says Vivian File h m a n,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs 7. E
Freshman, Of Phenix. For the
past year. Vivian has been serv-
ing as vice-president Of the Vir-
ginia Association, Future Home
makers of America (FHAl, a
club made up of students taking
home economics.
Each state officer selected q
special project which would Of

development of their PERSONAL
ties and abilities. For some
time, Vivian had been concerned
about the number Of drorouts in
her county and how unconcerned
many Of the teenagers she
comes in contact with felt about
getting an education. Due to her
concern. she selected as her
project for emphasis, Stay in
School"
Vivian felt that she. too. need
ed to improve her attitudes
about school. For ample.
everyone knows a person likes
school if he is prepared for the
work he has to do. Therefore.
he began to try improving her
study habits. First of all. she
planned ard prepared A study
center in her own home. striv-
ng for correct lighting, a quiet
place, and a place where refer
rec material would be convent

also important in order 10 main
tain good grades, she attended
school each day, this was a help
IN attaining her goal to improve
her grades.
Vivian also felt she should in

body about the project stay in
School. T" She began by making
survey Of the number Of drop
outs If this years senior class
from the pre-frcshman to the
senior year. She spoke before
several groups to inform stu
dents of what she found concern
ing dropouts, She also secured
the film. The Dropout.' ard
showed it for an FILA FLA meet
ing. Vivian felt students would
Ike to know the many areas OF
home economies, therefore. she
secured materials on honlemak-
ing careers and displayed this
material before the entire stu
dent body. Vivian told friends
and fellow students about the
homemaking program through
bulletin boards. articles in the
school newspaper. assembly pro-
grams. and FILA meetings. She
encouraged many students to
take home economics aid to
Stay in School.
Vivian tried to inform .tizens
Of her community about her
project through newspaper artl-
Giles, a poster BE Wise NV

lotte County Fair. and verbally
informing the general public
about her FILA activities. Vivian
was also given the opportunity
to speak before o h er FILA
groups She was guest speaker
for two mother daughter ban
Quets. She encouraged students
to STAY in School" and to be
good FILA workers. Vivian was
also a member of a panel, her
part being to tell why she felt
students dropped out of school,

cago speech last night, Sen
ator Goldwater said there are
not 10 men in America who
know the full truth about
Cuba, all the facts of the test
ban treaty or the commitments
made on behalf Of this Nation
with governments dedicated to
our destruction. He seems to
be limiting that you made
secret agreements both In the
Cuban settlement last fall, and
to obtain the test ban treaty
A. No. that is not
@. Could you say unequiv-
ocally that there were no COM
mitments or would you care to
comment on Senator Gold
waters comments?
A. There are no commit
mentS, and I think Senator
Goldwater Is at least one Of the
10 men In America who would
know that is not true. I think
there are a good many other
men.
The fact, is, as you know, we
offered to have the correspond
ence on the test ban treaty
made available to the leader
ship of the Senate. 1t stands
on its own. So I can tell you
very fatty there were no COM
mitments made that have not
been discussed and revealed. I
think most people know that.

Discusses Change
In Type of Ban

@. Mr.. President, last year
when you discussed resumption
of nuclear testing in a public
speech, you anticipated diff
Guilty in being able to keep top
flight scientists operating on
standby preparations; you
doubted that large-scale labo-
ratories could be kept fully
alert. And you said this wasn't
merely difficult or inconven-
lent. but that after thorough
exploration, you h d deter
mined tn at keeping labora-
tories fully alert on a standby
basis would be impossible. Gould
you tell us. sir, what has hap
pened since then to change
your mind about this?
A. Yes. / believe that what
I was talking about then was q
comprehensive test ban treaty
Obviously, If you had no under
ground testing, the laboratories
would atrophy. I stated at that
time, or on other occasions
that if we could get a response
BILE, comprehensive test bar
treaty that / would be willing
to take that risk.
But we didn't get a compre-
hensive test ban treaty. but
only a limited one. Under that
limited agreement, it is posi-.
BILE to carry on underground
testing, and therefore. we viii
not have the deadening of the
vitality of the laboratories.

All Arguments
Were Considered

The Senate hearings and de-
bate have been intensive and
valuable, but they have not
raised an argument in opposi-
ton which was not thoroughly
considered by our military,
scientific, legal and foreign pol
icy leaders before the treaty
was signed.
This Nation has sought to
bring nuclear weapons under
international control since 1916.
This particular kind of treaty
has been sought by us since
1859.
If we are to give it now only
grudging support, if this small
clearly beneficial step cannot
be approved by the widest pos
sible margin in the Senate,
then the Nation cannot offer
much leadership or hope for the
future.
But If the American people
and the American Senate can
demonstrate that we are as
determined to achieve a peace
and a just peace as we are to
defend our freedom, I think
future generations will honor
the action that we took.

step progress from one city to
another?
"A. Step = by step, would
think. What is impressive, Is
I said, and I don't think we
realize the full significance of
it, is that most Of the work
really has been done by South
erners themselves. In the case
of Alabama the five Federal
judges who signed that order
were all from Alabama all grew
up in Alabama and I am sure
shared the views of the ma
jority of Alabamans who, I
think, are not for deSegrega-
ton, but, nevertheless, met
their responsibilities under the
law, which we are trying to do.
And I think what has hap
pened in South Carolina, Flori-
da In the last few days, Georgia,
I think it is an impressive
story. 1t is slow, step-by-step.
but it viii continue that way.
But this Nation Is passing
through q very grueling test.
and with the exception Of a
few alterations, I think we are
meeting it.
And I say I'VE" in the ma
tional sense. We, as a country,
are doing quite well. We have
to do better, but think there
is some cause for satisfaction
in most of the events that
happened in the last two weeks.

Impact of Russell
Opposition to Pact

@. Mr.. President, in your
view, what impact will the
Senate Armed Services Com
mittee Chairman Richard Rus
sells opposition to the test-ban
treaty have on the Senate vote
on the pact?
A. I think he is highly re-
spected, probably the most in
dividually respected, perhaps,
in the Senate, and, therefore,
what he says is going to have
some influence. On the other
hand, it seems to me the whole
weight of opinion makes this
essential.
/ thing the Senate Is going
to approve this. We can't turn
our back and tell 80 nations
that now signed 1t that the lid
is off, the atomic age has come
in all of its splendor, and that
everyone now should begin to
test in the atmosphere which,
of course, everyone would have
to do it this treaty fails. /
don't think the United States
would want to take on that
responsibility.

Selection of New
Postmaster General

@. Mr.. President, speaking OF
letters, there have been sugges-
tons that you are putting Mr..
GronouSki into the cabinet Gas
Postmaster GeneraD to pay
some old political debts in Wis
consin as well as to lay the
basis for future political sup
port elsewhere. Would you tell
us your reasons for naming
him?
A. Yes. I met Mr.. Gronou-
ski In 1860 in WISCONSIN. He
was-and he Is a distinguished
public servant, and he has
had a fine war record, and
he was a Pho. Of the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin, and he
Is In charge Of taxation, and
he was highly recommended
and is a very good admins
traitor. I don't know why it
causes so much excitement
when the name is Gronou-
ski as opposed to when it may
be Smith or Brown or Day.

Gives Credit
For School Action

Secondly, I would like to
say something about what has
happened in the schools in the
last few days. In the past two
weeks, schools in $50 Southern
cities have been deSegregated.
There may have been some diff
ficulties, but to the great credit
Of the vast majority Of the
citizens and public officials
Of these communities, this
transition has been made with
understanding and respect for
the law. The task was not
easy.
The emotions underlying seq
regation have persisted for
generations, and in many in
stances, leaders in these COM
munities have had to overcome
their own personal attitudes as
well as the ingrained social at
titudes Of the communities. In
some instances, the obstacles
were greater. even to the point
Of physical interference.
Nevertheless, as we have seen,
what prevailed in these cities
through the South finally was
not emotion but respect for
law.
The courage and responsible
ity Of those community leaders
In those places provide a mean
ingful lesson not only for the

march on Washington says
that he feels you are greater
than Abe Lincoln in the area
Of civil rights. Apparently a
lot Of other Negroes support
you. The latest poll showed
that IS per cent probably
would vote for you next year.
Now, in your opinion, Mr..
President, does this political
self-segregation on the part of
the Negroes, combined with
continued demonstrations in
the North, pose any problems
for you as far as the electoral
vote in the North is concerned
next year2
A. ! understand that you
mean. that there is a danger of
a division in the party, In the
country, upon racial grounds. ]
would doubt that. / think the
American people have been
through too much to make that
fatal mistake.
It is true that a majority of
the Negroes have been Demo-
Gratis. but that has been true
since Franklin Roosevelt. Be-
fore that a majority of them
were Republicans. The Repub-
lican Party, I am confident,
could get the support of the
Negroes, but I think they have
to recognize the very difficult
problems the Negroes face.
So in answer to your ques-
ton, I don't know what 1864 is
going to bring. I think a divi-
sion upon racial lines would be
unfortunate - class lines, Sec
tional lines. In fact. Theodore
Roosevelt said all this once
very we'll way back. So I would
say that over the long run, we
are going to have a mix. This
will sbe true racially, socially,
ethnically, geographically, and
that is really, finally, the best
way.

Changes Require
Senate Action

@. Mr.. President, some OPP
ponents of the test ban treaty
have expressed the fear that
once the treaty has been rati-
fled it might then be possible
later by executive action tc
amend the treaty so as tc
further limit the freedom OF
action of the United States
What is your reaction to these
suggestions?
A. No, l can give q categor-
ical assurance that the treaty
as you know. cannot be
amended without the agree
ment Of the three basic sigma
tories. The treaty cannot be
changed in any way by the
three basic signatories, and the
others, without the consent OF
the Senate.
There would be-of course
any proposal to change the
treaty would be submitted to
the usual ratification procedure
followed by or prescribed by
the Constitution. In addition
there would be no executing
action which would permit Us
to in any way limit or circum-
scribe the basic understandings
of the treaty.
Quite obviously, this is a
commitment which is made by
the executive and by the Sem
ate, operating under one of the
most important provisions OF
the Constitution, and no Presi-
dent of the United States
would seek to. even If he could
and I strongly doubt that he
could, by stretching the law to
the furtheSt-seek in any way
to break the bond and the
understanding which exists be-
tween the Senate and the ex-
ecutive and, in a very deep

Air Force Groups
View of Agreement

@. Mr.. President, the Air
Force Association yesterday
openly condemned the test ban
as a danger to this country
How do you feel about the pro-
priety Of an appreciable pro-
portion Of its members being
serving officers Of the United
States Air Force under your
command, and thus contra
dieting their Commander in
Chief and their Secretary of
Defense?
A. Well I think the Air
Force Association is free to
give its views But the fact
Of the matter is that the Joint
Chiefs of Staff favored this
treaty, and the Secretary of
Defense favored 1t, and Gen.
Lemnitzer favored it, and the
unified command has favored
it, and I think that the treaty
is in our interest.

has shared in 1t.
I don't know what grounds
on which Gov. Rockefeller
categorically made an assur-
ance to the people Of New York
in the fall of 1862 that is now
impossible TO fulfill. If he feels
it is my fault, then I am pre-
pared to accept that.
I must say he is not really
the only one. I suppose I got

Aim in Wet Nam
Is to Win War

@. Mr.. President, in view Of
the prevailing confusion, is it
possible to state today just
what this Governments policy
is toward the current govern
ment Of South Wet Nam?
A. I think I have stated
what my view is and we are
for those things and those pol
icies which help win the war
there. That is why some $4,000
Americans have Travelled 10000
miles to participate in that
struggle.
What helps to win the war
we support. What interfereS
with the war effort we oppose
I have already made, 1t cleal
that any action by either gov
eminent which may handicap
the winning Of the war is in
consistent with our policy OF
our detectives.
This is the test which I think
every agency and official of the
United States Government
