Palisades Route

The hearing on Q proposed
Palisades route to link inter-
state 70-S with the down.
town inner loop scheduled
for December 10 should not
be held until the Maryland
National Capital Park and
Planning Commission has
done its homework.
There Il only one source Of
justification for the location
Of this controversial route.
The route chosen must best
satisfy . set Of stable, mean
ingful cr1teria uniformly ap.
piled to each alternative. Any
proposal that does not exhi-
bit these basic credentials
has no claim to public Gre
dence.
Since the Feasibility
Study" issued In November
1868 fails to meet this STAN
dard, the Commissions first
concern should be to with
draw its premature proposal.
This move would clear the
way for development Of o set
Of meaningful route selection
criteria to be consistently
and uniformly applied to
each alternative. The exist
ing policy Of revising route
selection criteria to enhance
the attractiveness Of q parti-
cular route Is not tenable.
It Is especially important
that facts relating to each
route be well defined and
that the frame-of-reference
from which they take mean
ing should not shift willy-nil-
ly from one study to another.
Some Of the Commissions
data has varied so markedly
between It's 1858 and 1868
studies as to be meaningless
for comparative purposes.
Ultimate route selection
should be defended by the
Commission as the best
choice through critical COM
parison Of the current data
bearing on each alternative.
This would permit informed
debate In terms Of facts avail
liable to all. The Commits
sion's present practice Of
throwing out an unsupported
alternative, thus forcing
those in the ea(s) affect
ed to express opinions based
on insufficient information Is
indefensible.
1t is possible that selection
Of Q Palisades route would
best satisfy the needs Of the
growing Metropolitan Area.
At this juncture, however, no
meaningful, clear-cut evi-
dence has been. adduced in
support Of this viewpoint.
Therefore, let the Commits
sion get on with its unfit
niShed business Of preparing
q serious proposal amply sup
ported by the facts. No other
course Of action can legiti-
mately command public con-
sideration.

dawn Of man and by them
selves achieve a more pros
porous and civilized future"
Mr.. Mboya says that the
settlers claim that the High
lands were found uninhabited.
Chandos, for his part, never
says clearly that more or less
settled Africans were moved
off the land, though some
thing Of the sort Is nearly
implicit in his comments.
The nub of the matter Is
reached when Chandos re-
marks that "crops like cof-
fee and pyrethrum, which add
much to the wealth Of Kenya,
were unknown until the advent
of the white man. In short,
it is one Of the ironicai
anomalies Of colonial politics
that those who are most vo-
ciferous about our duty to help
underdeveloped countries are
also the most critical Of our
very presence and Of the
foundations which the British
have laid and without which
the word development is
meaningless"
Sins Of Omission
If Mr.. Mboya commits a sin
Of omission by failing to give
due credit to British agricuI-
tural Innovations, Chandos
commits a far greater one.
He never attempts to explain
why "our presence" and ode
velopment" should involve ex-
GLIDING Africans except as
laborers from vast tracts Of
land.
AS a matter Of fact, Chan
dos remark about ''primaeval
darkness" shows that his at
tiude is conditioned by an as
sumption of British and white
superiority not merely In tech
nology but in everything, val
ues included.
Mr.. Mboya'S reaction to the
fundamental humiliation Is
clear on every page Of his
book.
Yet each In his own way
seeks to minimize this sad
and basic source Of conflict;
it is revealed clearly only
in occasional slips: II these
men and their successors
faced themselves more frankly
and acknowledged that they
think their opposite numbers
inferior, it might be possible
to manipulate objective inter-
national situations with more
skill and less deceit, noise
and suspicion. And then in
time, respect would come Of
its own accord.

Civil RIGHTS

Representative Howard Worth Smith
Is in a strong position.
Judge Smith, as he is known to
everyone who knows him at all, is 80
years old, though young for his age.
Down in Virginia's eighth district, which
he represents, he is as politically secure
as any man in public life can be. He
needs no favors from this administra-
ton or any other administration. The
chances are that he will be reelected to
the House as long as he chooses to run.
Still, the situation which is building
up over the civil rights bill must be Of
some concern to Judge Smith. At the
moment the bill is bottled up in the
House Rules Committee, and there is
talk to the effect that Chairman Tor
Judge) Smith intends to go down to
his Virginia farm and Just sit there
for a while longer.
If he does this, and we hope he
will not do 1t, he is inviting rebuff
even more severe than that which came
to him in the successful effort to pack"
the Rules Committee. That rebuff
brought, or is said to have brought, a
certain impairment Of long-Standing
friendship between Judge Smith and his,
old friend, the late Speaker Sam Ray
burn. We hope that history is not about
to repeat itself in the form of break
between Mr. Smith and another Tex
an-President Lyndon Johnson.
1t is clear, however, that one man,
meaning Judge Smith, cannot be per-
mitted to veto civil rights bill. A per-
son can choose his own reasons-polit-
ical, equitable or those Of simple Justice.
The fact remains that civil rights bill
is needed and should be passed by this
Congress.
A petition to discharge the bill from
the Rules Committee so that the House
can vote on 1t has been filed. The petit
ton requires 218 signatures, and it will
not be easy to get them. Ordinarily, we
take dim view of discharge petitions.
So do many House members, since these
petitions often can cut in two or more
directions But this is something of a
special case. land in saying this we
wish that Negro leaders would stop talk
ing about purges, threats and the like.)
The members of the House ought to be
nlotivated by sense Of what is right
and necessary in this stage of our Ma
TONS progress.
Certainly civil rights bill, perhaps
In modified form, should be enacted by
this Congress. We hope that Judge
Smith will not persist in trying to stran-
gle 1t in his committee. But If he should
try to do this, then 1t is our earnest
belief-and we say this despite our own
general miSgivingS about discharge eff
forts and those doubts which some Re
publicans apparently feel-that the re-
quired 218 House members should sign
the discharge petition.
This, after all, would simply bring
the bill to vote in the House, vote
which, If favorable, would pass the civil
rights bill on to the Senate. And there
the processes Of adjustment when facing
filibuster have resulted many times be-
fore in accommodations with which the
Nation has been able to live.

A Corner Sentinel

Perhaps reviving the police
system Of years gone would
result in better protection Of
the people and their proper
ties in residential sections of
this city.
In early days 1t was the
practice to have policemen
patrol the sire is on foot.
Often an officer with his
gray-domed helmet and long
tail coat could be seen stand
ing on a street corner calmly
juggling his night stick. After
a time he would disappear to
be seen on another street cor
ner. This was a continuing
night and day performance
and by this method the entire
area was kept under constant
observation and protection.
Today I live on a street in
a locale where murders have
been committed (Ashmeade
place = Kalorama road but
never do I see q policeman In
the neighborhood as I have
mentioned. Once In awhile q
police car goes q pidly by,
likewise a motorcycle man,
and an officer on foot, but he
never tarries. I conclude,
therefore, that the theory Of
today is to catch the crimi-
mails after the crimes have
been committeeman to pre-
vent them.
The presence Of policemen
on the corners and patrolling
the streets, like Of old. would
act as a great deterrent to the
commission Of crime and gen.
crate q feeling Of relief, espe-
cially at night, to the citizens
so protected.

Why Dallas?

The spotlight Of public
condemnation that has been
turned on Dallas, Texas,
should be turned on many
other communities and many
other groups Of people In all
sections Of our country. For
the spreading Of the venom
of hate is surely not restrict
ed to Dallas.
In almost any section Of
the United States there still
remain small SegmentS Of
Roosevelt-haters who were
and are among the worst Of
tenders Of public conscience.
1t seems to be almost an AK
iom in our political history
that the greater our leaders
the more they are hated by
little people with shriveled
minds and souls. Washing
ton, Jefferson, Lincoln, Ted
dy Roosevelt, Woodrow VIII
son. Franklin Roosevelt, Har-
~ Truman and now John p.
Kennedy-all have been the
special targets Of the peren-
NAL haters. Yet their places
in history are secure, and our
country has reached the
front ranks Of nations under
their leadership.
AS to Dallas, the warmth,
respect and affection ten
dered our beloved President
and his lady by the many
thousands who lined the
streets to greet them that
fateful day in Texas Is the
best evidence that the great
majority Of Dallas citizens
are Americans In the best
tradition.
There is ample evidence,
however, that what should be
the responsible leadership Of
that community has almost
completely broken down.
When the pulpits Of some
prominent churches, the
clasSrooms Of some schools
and the city's newspapers are
used as podia for spreading
the cancer Of hate, the COM
munity puts q label on itself
that brings shame to all its
people and becomes q blight
on the whole country. That
is the image that Dallas
needs to erase. In time there
may emerge the type Of lead
ership to do 1t.
Now there is Q big Job for
the whole country to do, and
under the leadership Of Pres
ident johnson and with the
help Of God we propose to do
1t. Harry r. Lee.

the often race-conscious
Russians. In addition to the
Soman republic, Mall. oui-
nea and Ghana. the Chinese
leader Is expected to viat
Egypt's Nasser and Alseria's
President Ahmed Ben Bella.
The elimax-and GROWING
provocstion to Premier
Khrushchev-may well be Q
triumphal visit to the Albani-
an capital Of Tirana.
But II Chou's visit marks O
significant departure and re-
fleets q new vitality In the
missionary spirit Of Chinese
communism, the surprise an
nouncement from the Vati-
can is no less sensational.
The pilgrimage Of Pope
Paul to the cradle Of Chris
tianity Is most certainly not
politically motivated In the
sense that Chou's visit to AZ
RIGA Is. But It can hardly es-
cape political overtones, Of
which the Pope Is most GER
tainly well aware.
In its historical context, It
Is virtually unprecedented. In
modern history no Pope has
made a voluntary trip out
side Of Italy. The last invo-
luntary traveller was Plus
VII, who was brought Is Q
captive to France by Napo-
leon.
In the immediate political
context, the visit is sure to
have repercussions In terms
Of the Arab-Israeh conflict.
Though most Of the shrines
OF Christianity are In Arab
Jordan and the Jordanian-
held part Of Jerusalem, GER
tain others Of great signifi-
canoe, including Nazareth,
Galilee and Capernaum, are
in Israeli territory.
Though the Pope's timer
airy has not yet been an
nounced. 1t will be awaited
with interest by both sides.
Indeed the general reaction
Of the Arab countries to the
projected visit Is more than
somewhat uncertain. At the
very least 1t seems likely that
1t will revive speculation
about the proposal first ad.
vanced by Pope Plus XII for
tnternationalization Of the
Jerusalem area.
Dramatic Decision
All this. Of course, does not
mean that Pope Paul has de-
cided to move into an active
political role or try to play q
part in the settlement Of del
icate international problems.
Indeed, the real significance
OF his trip-which amounts
to his most dramatic decision
so far-may well be greater
In the West than in the
areas which he Is to visit.
Above all. perhaps, the
Pope's gesture is in the same
spirit Of emancipation that
has motivated the great
council. An act Of rejuvena-
ton and vitality which, cal
culated or not, amounts to q
potent challenge to the brand
OF evangelism practiced by
Chou En-lai and his friends.

PARIS.
While President johnson
ponders his schedule, visits
and travel plans. two other
recently announced voyages
are causing q large furry Of
interested speculation In Eu-
rope.
The first Is the visit-one
might almost call it the inva-
sion-of Africa being
planned by Premier Chou
En-lai Of Communist China.
The other. Just officially an
nounced. is the trip Of Pope
Paul VI to the Holy Land,
scheduled for January.
Both Of these trips are
"ffrsts" Of their kind. Both
can have far-reaching conse-
Quences In quite different d.
rections. Both quite evidently
mark the beginning Of q new
phase Of world politics.
The reading on the Chi
nese trip Is by far the more
obvious Of the two.
The announcement that
Chou En-lai will set out on q
visit to some half-dozen
"non-aligned" African coun-
tries starting In December
still unconfirmed by Picking
marks merely q new and
dramatic phase Of q conflict
that began months ago.
Serious for Reds, Too
The implications Of the
conflict are almost equally
serious for Russia as for
the West. Chinese expansion
ism into Africa Is q new and
growing element in the Sino-
Russian rivalry for leader
ship Of the Communist world
and uncommitted nations.
For decades the Russians
have considered Africa and
the Middle East as their own
private preserve. They are
still extremely active in the
area, having recently moved
into Somalia with q $31 mil
lion arms program to supple
ment economic assistance Of
more than twice that
amount. Soviet technicians
are equally active In such
troubled areas as Yemen and
Egypt and have been fiercely
competitive In bidding for
the favors Of neutralist
countries such as Ghana.
For some time the Chinese
have been challenging this
Russian predominance in At
RIGA. And given the limited
resources that they have at
their disposal, their success
has been significant.
The Chinese contribution
until now has been con-
fined almost entirely to
technical aid, concentrated
on agriculture. In Ghana, for
example, the Chinese will
ingly left the problem Of rail-
road construction to the
Russians, while supplying
some 1000 experts to over
see the country's program of
agricultural expansion.
Now, 1t seems. the rivalry
will reach a new stage on the
political level. Significantly
Chou's visit will not be con-
fined to black Africa where
the Chinese enjoy q marked

A BOOK FOR TO-DAY
Tom Mboyo and Viscount Chondos
BY DONALD MINTZ

When Oliver Lyttleton, Wis
count Chandos, was in the
British Colonial Office and de-
veloped the so-called Lyttle-
ton Constitution of 1854 for
Kenya, Tom Mboya was near
the highest echelon of Kenya
political figures.
But he was not high enough
to be mentioned in Chandos'
recently published memoirs.
And although Mr.. Mboya men,
tons ChandoS in his Free
dom and After" there is no
indication that the two men
ever met. They are neither
political nor chronological con-
temporarieS.
Yet they are close enough
so that both men inevitably
discuss from a highly per-
Sonal point Of view the
period of the Mau Mau emer-
gency that began in 1852 and
lasted for eight years.
It is no surprise to find
that the two discussions clash
with or vary from each other
at virtually every point But
is is instructive to see that
these clashes and variations
are not all Of uniform char
acter, but are rather Of sew
eral types.
Questions Of Fact
First, and In a way easiest,
are the differences about ques-
tons Of fact. There are
amazingly few Of these and
many are relatively oblique.
Chandos claims that Jomo
Kenyatta had a fair trial.
Mr.. Mboya says he did not.
Assuming that there is rea-
sonable agreement as to what
constitutes a fair trial, this
conflict could be settled fairly
effectively.
Far more important are
those disagreements that arise
from a priori attitudes and
assumptions.
Chandos defends the inStitu-
ton Of the White Highlands.
He says that until modern
time they ''were lean grazing
lands for nomadic tribes, and
not a 1.-THE Of their inherent
wealth as farming land was

it could be argued that here,
as elsewhere in Africa, it
would have been best to have
left the indigenous Africans

insubstantial hope that some
risorgimento would have

which they had lived since the
