On Living Together

The legal "truce" which has been
arranged in the clash over registering
Negro voters in two Mississippi counties
strikes us as being a rational settle
ment of what looks very much like
phony issue.
Several days ago the Justice Depart
ment asked a Federal Judge in Green
wood, Mississippi, to issue temporary
restraining order barring any inter-
ference with registration of Negro voters.
The Judge declined to issue such an
emergency order, and set Thursday of
last week as the day for hearing in
which the Mississippi officials could be
heard. Somewhere along the line closer
look apparently was taken, the So-called
truce was arranged, and the court hear
ing was put off until October.
We doubt that it will ever be held.
For the indications, or at least those
available in press reports, do not suggest
that there has been any concerted plan
or effort to prevent Negroes from regis
tering as voters in Greenwood or Leflore
Counties.
Not having been born yesterday, we
do not think that the white people in
those counties, heavily outnumbered by
Negroes, would like to encourage Negro
voting. The fact is, however, that the
Associated Press has reported day after
day that the local authorities in the two
counties were permitting Negro regis
tration by individuals and in small
groups. What the police we're breaking
up were marches" on the registration
places by large groups of Negroes-Some
of whom possibly were eligible voters and
many of whom certainly were not. After
all, the risk Of Indictment to race riot in
Mississippi is something that cannot be
ignored.
Why the Department of Justice at
first jumped eagerly into this situation,
and then backed off, we do not know. If
the real purpose was to help insure the
right Of qualified Negroes to register as
voters, that was both necessary and
proper. If, on the other hand, the purpose
was to grab some Of the headlines from
such as Negro comedian Dick Gregory,
the action of the Justice Department was
wrong and unworthy.
At one meeting in Greenwood, a
Negro preacher from Texas said that
mass demonstrations were unwise.
We've got to live together" he stated,
land all the fault is not in the white
man." An audience of some $50 Negroes
called him an "Uncle Tom" and shouted
him down.
In modern vocabulary, "Uncle Tom"
has become term Of opprobrium. 1t /,
suggests that any Negro who is not
actively fighting the white man is be-
traying his own race. We suspect, how
ever, that in time it will be shown that
the preacher in this instance, the Rev.
w. R. Farley, was right. For when the
last demonstration is over, when the
Justice Department has made its last
gesture, when all Negroes who want to
register and who are qualified have been
registered, the truth of the Rev. Mr..
Fairley's statement will remain: We've
got to live together"

the speed" with which Vir-
ginia's 22-mile portion Of the
Capital Beltway was placed
under contract are consid-
cred, the title, unless face
tiously selected could be mis-
leading, to say the least.
In fact, the relatively
speedy construction Of the
Beltway has consumed at
least an l1-year period. 1t
was In 1852 and 1853 that
Fairfax County employed
Francis Dodd McHugh to
prepare a master plan for
Fairfax County of 1880. This
master plan consisted, when
completed, Of seven subordi-
nate countrywide plans for
use Of land. One was for
roads and parkways. For the
first time. officially, the gen.
eral location of the inner
circumferential, and Of the
outer circumferential (still

Highway Act was enacted)

materially strengthened by
revisions adopted by the SUI
pervisors in 1866 with the
concurrence Of forward-look-
ing developers; and two
boards of supervisors which
took a dim view of developers
who did not agree to dedi-
cate, or at least reserve,
right-of-way for the circum-
ferential, successfully plotted
the location Of the circum-
ferential. Incidentally, Of
course, the cost Of acquisi-
ton Of the right-of-way,
which is a substantial portion
Of the States contribution
under the Interstate Highway
Act, and the necessary en-
cheering and survey costs,
were materially reduced.
1t is true that Virginia did
speed its contracting. 1t Is
also true that the major
portion Of the uncompleted
portion Of the Virginia sec
ton Is In Alexandria. but
this Is because Of the sub
soil conditions, not disputes
over location. The salient
fact. however, Is that local
governments in Virginia are
primarily responsible for the
ease Of location and relative
speed Of construction Of the
Interstate Highway.

What would Laborite Har-
old Wilson really do with
Britain If, as now seems dis
tinctly probable, he should
defeat Conservative Prim e
Minister Harold Macmillan in
an election to be held no
later than August of 1864?
This columnist's impress
sions. in the afterlight of a
visit here by Mr.. Wilson,
which also gave opportunity
to get some notion of him
from closeup conversation,
are far less than reassuring,
If not necessarily somber to
the point of hopelessness.
These impressions are about
as follows:
Mr.. Wilson is no longer a
one-way disarmer, a BAN
the-bomb bowler or an inter-
national demagogue, If he
ever was. He Is, however, a
man whose true views of the
proper policy in the cold war
are remarkably difficult to
pierce and fix through the
clouds Of bookish rhetoric
which Sc e m to hover over
the heads Of so many British
politicians Of the left - as,
indeed, they do over so many
Of our leftist politicians at
home.
Spirit and Flesh
He could hardly have been
expected to lay down an ac-
tual blueprint here, to be
sure. Still. much of what he
really thinks on this great
and mortal matter Is either
held In reserve or - and
more likely - is really not
firmed UP yet. In any case,
such CLEANS as come through
are disturbing to those who
value the gallant effort of Mr..
Macmillan to hold a weary
Britain to a steadfastly ra-
tional course.
Mr.. Wilson is surely not
an irresponsible man, and
surely he is devoted to West
ern interests. His idea that
Britain should not try for
the unattainable, an indie
pendent nuclear force, is
sound. And on this point,
his explanations are clear.
But his accompanying prom
ises to provide greater Brit
ish contributions to the con-
ventional defenses of West
ern Europe have, unhappily,
a certain hollow sound.
One feels that while the
spirit Of Labor may be
strong here, the flesh Of
Labor is very weak. If Mr..

ever, that only business asso-
ciates are present; except,
Of course, in the instances
where wives are present
who obviously are BUSH
ness associates anyway. OF
course, this Is just the gen.
eral rule. An exception is
made II the taxpayer has a
substantial and bona fide
business discussion immedi-
ately before or after the en-
tertainment; except. OF
course, for an out-of-town
business guest where an ex-
ception is made; and, Of
course, in the case OF con-
ventions, the taxpayer does
not necessarily always have
TO be present during the dis
cussion while he is having a
substantial and bona fide
business discussion.
II a taxpayer keeps a rec
ord showing that he belongs
to a golf club which he uses
primarily for entertaining a
business guest for the pur-
pose OF deducting the dues,
he will not get o deduction;
except he car deduct a por-
ton Of the dues, provided he
can show that he did more
drinking than playing golf
then only TO the extent that
he did the drinking.
OF course. these are lust
the more important rules.
There are many exceptions
depending on the facts and
circumstances surrounding
the particular case. The law
thus might be viewed as ex-
tremely liberal in some re-
spects or as very restrictive
In others. and / suppose this
can be viewed as striking a
fair balance.
We believe. however, the
taxpayer Is entitled to know

THE PASSING SCENE
Appraisal of Loborite Wilson

Wilson does come to power
we should be unwise to hold
the phone while awaiting
word of those fresh British
troop contributions.
What really seems to
emerge is that while Labor
actually thinks 1t wants to
make the alliance stronger,
Labor In fact would quite
easily fall into the habit Of
letting Uncle Sam do 1t far
more than Prime Minister
Macmillan has done. Indeed,
a not unreasonable forecast
of Labor's foreign policy in
general would take these
lines:
/. A compulsive withdrawal
in spirit from British mill
tary responsibilities in favor
of an almost total concen-
tration on domestic reforms
in the economic and social
fields.
2. A policy incomparably
more attuned to the United
Nations. and especially to the
holy Afro-Asian bloc therein.
than to Britain's old Allies
In the West.
3. An unwillingness to
make in any forseeable future
any real effort to enter the
European Common Market
because the other nations in
1t are not too keen on let
ting the United Nations run
the world altogether.
"a Kind Of Young FOgey"
In short, In American terms
Mr.. Macmillan is meeting in
Mr.. Wilson a kind of young
fogey Henry Wallace of the
Sixties - an earnest, able,
dull. decent but perhaps
rather evasive disciple of the
quart of-milk- for-every Hot
tentot school.
His compassion for alb
stract Common Man" Is far
higher than his probable con-
crete capacity to help Eng
land meet the brutal chal-
lenges of an era whose prob
lens are not so much de-
fined by bread and butter
aspirations as by the higher
aspiration to sustain that
freedom for which Britain
has stood so long.
If Mr.. Wilson is elected
there will be two sloganeers
in very car in England. Still,
this is the present Wilson, the
Wilson yet not in power and
not yet under responsibility.
1t might well be that the
harsh realities of power and
responsibility would m a Ike
quite another man of him.
