Out of Step

The campaign to pass the public
accommodations amendment in Cam
bridge, Md, is steadily picking up mo-
mentum. On Monday, each member of
a special committee organized by city
officials will begin to contact so other
residents of the Eastern Shore commu-
nifty, with appeals for their favorable
votes in the October / referendum.
Yet Mrs. Gloria Richardson, the
leader of the integrationist movement
in Cambridge, still remains aloof from
efforts to turn out the Negro vote. AS
we understand her position, Mrs. Rich
ardSon feels that Negroes should not
have to vote for something which al
ready is their right.
How ridiculous! Most on-the-Spot
observers give the non-diScrimination
amendment poor chance of passage
without strong Negro support. Yet Mrs.
Richardson says in a public statement
that many Negroes may not want to go
to the polls ION this matter since it is
moral ISSUE"
In the wake of the March on Wash
ington, her position is all the more in
applicable. Certainly the impressive
show of cooperation between whites
and Negroes last Wednesday was posi-
tive gain for the civil rights movement
And in their own analyses during the
last few days, most of the march lead
erS have played strongly on this theme
According to Bayard Rustin, the deputy
director, the movement is doomed I'M
less whites 'in large numbers" are
willing to join Negroes in the streets
Us it not necessary also for Negroes to
join whites at the POLISH. And A.
Philip Randolph has hailed the march
as giant step" in stimulating whites
and Negroes to work together.
Everywhere, it seems, except in
Mrs. Richardson's Cambridge. If the
major goal in Cambridge is to make
substantial gains against discrimina-
ton, in an atmosphere of racial peace,
Mrs. Richardson and her group will
work to support the charter amendment.
II this is not the goal, what in the
world was the talk in Washington last
Wednesday all about?

KEENAN, on the Ban

In his recent Meet the Press" APP
pearance, George F. KEENAN,, former
United States Ambassador to Yugoslavia,
was asked why he thought the Kremlin
would live up to the nuclear teSt-ban
treaty. His answer, In effect, was that
the Russians, although they have broken
many pledges, will honor any pact that
they deem to be in their interest. He
has stated the case this way:
II think 1t is a question Of the buyer
beware, and 1t is a question of our
entering agreements so phrased, so
drawn up that the Russians may be
expected to have an interest in abiding
by them. :. think II you stick to
specific language, II the agreement does
not try to describe what peoples motives
are or what their philosophy is, but
merely says We will do this II you will
do this think then such agreements
can be useful"-and will be adhered to
by the Kremlin.
Mr. KEENAN,, one Of our foremost
Kremlinologists, has resorted to a lot
Of qualifiers in saying this. But still he
seems reasonably confident that the

What Next?

On the heels of the Presidents talk
with Soviet Ambassador Dobrynin, the
White House has let it be known that
there are to be further MoScow-Wash-
1ngton probingS and conversations
aimed at easing the tensions Of the cold
war
To that end, Mr.. Kennedy has ar
ranged to confer with Soviet Foreign
Minister Gromyko, who will be coming
to our country this month for the reg
ular session of the United Nations Gen
eral Assembly. The Presidents meeting
with him, however, will be strictly lin
tied in character. The detailed CONVEX
sation will be between Mr.. Gromyko
and Secretary of State RuSk.
In the background of all this, there
has been speculation that Nikita Khru-
shchev may show up at the Assembly
in New York, and conceivably meet with
Mr.. Kennedy. The Premier has Just
Knocked down this idea, but he has been
at pains at the same time to declare
that he will visit Cuba whenever he feels
like 1t, perhaps soon.
This is easing tensions? If Khru-
shchev plans to visit Cuba in the coming
weeks, why in the world should our
President bother to talk with Gromyko?

De GuuIIe on Wet Nam

President de Gaulle'S "mystique"
has reached new Towering, but not a
pretty one, with his statement on Wet
Nam. Though murky in language and
oracular in tone, it is implicitly anti
American, and it plainly suggests that
he is fired up with the idea of trying to
re-eStabliSh some measure of Frances
old influence in Asia
To that end, the imperiouS general
apparently would water down, if not
eliminate entirely, Americas role in
Wet Nam. This is the same thing, of
course, that he has been attempting
to do in free Europe, within the frame
work of NATO. In that sense, he now
seems to have undertaken to engage us
in kind of two-front war-a prepoS-
ferrous idea on its face-in the Atlantic
and the Far Pacific.
OF course as his statement implies,
he also wants other outsiders (the
Soviet and Chinese CommunistS) to
depart from Wet Nam. And to help
bring this about, to help unity the
divided land, to help it attain indie
pendence from foreign influence" he
has offered Ito organize cordial CO.
operation" with the Vietnamese people.
Such cooperation, he has confidently
indicated, would surely succeed because
France-Since it ruled Indo-C China (of
which Wet Nam is a remnant) for 100
yearS-is peculiarly equipped to assist
in enabling the country to get back on
its feet and prosper in freedom and
peace. AS for the Americans, Non! They
just don't know how to do the job.
This comes with exceedingly poor
grace from lie grand CharleS-a man
who seems always to be thinking lofty
thoughts about Frances past greatness
and his place in history. After all, it
was his own contemporaries, his own
compatriotS, who botched the war in
Indo-Chino. Despite enormous Amer
lean aid, these people General de
Gaulle was off somewhere brooding by
himself most of the time) simply did
not give the French armed forces
proper support and direction during
eight years of deadly combat And so
the end came, inevitably, humiliatingly,
tragically, at Diem Bien Phu in 1854
Ever since then, South Wet Nam has
had to depend on the United States to
survive against the murderous Commu-
mist guerrillaS from the north, and a lot
OF our country'S young men continue
to die for the cause.
In these circumstances, especially
since 1t has been issued with trouble
making deliberatenesS at moment of
crisis In Wet Nam, the American people
have good reason to resent the gen.
erals unrealiStic commentary on the
subject. If this is Gaullist mysticism,
the less we see of it from now on, the
better.

Sad Absurdity

Bertrand Russell, the 91-year-old
British philosopher who never misses a
chance to vilify and libel the United
States, has done it again, this time with
message addressed to leaders of the
civil rights march on Washington.
Among other things, the message
has had this to say: "The treatment of
the American Negro is an atrocity which
has a history Of 800 years. The
number Of Negroes who have died
through torture, lonely murder and
systematic maltreatment In this period
without doubt is in excess of those killed
by the NaziS in the course of their I'M
paralleled barbariSm In Europe" Fur
Their, according to Lord Russell, the
Negro can still be shot down at will in
the United States. Indeed, "a casual
glance can send him to the gas cham
ber."
In announcing the dispatch of this
message, Lord RuSSelrS secretary in Lon
don proudly asserted that it would be
read to the Washington marchers by an
official Of the Congress of Racial Equal
ity. Well, the fact is that it was not
read, presumably because the Negro
leaders were appalled, by the wildnesS
and responsibility of it.
The old Earl, always a controversial
figure, has lost his way in daydreams
that have nightmare quality about
them. The weight Of time has made
a sad absurdity of both the mind and
the man.

FROM THE STAR FILES

Call D6 Sdlu-u SO muCn-lS
that slaves are property. Is
there, has there ever been,
any question that by the law
of war the property both of
enemies and friends may be
taken when needed? And is
it not needed whenever TAX
ing it helps us or hurts the
enemy? Armies, the world
over, destroy enemies prop
erty when they cannot use
it, and even destroy their own
to keep it from the enemy.
Civilized belligerents do all
in their power to help them
selves or hurt the enemy, ex-
cept a few things regarded as
barbarouS or cruel. The
war has certainly progressed
as favorably for us since the
issue Of the proclamation as
before. Some of the COM
manders of our armies In the
field, who have given us our
most important successes, be-
lieve the emancipation policy
and the use Of colored troops
constitute the heaviest blows
yet dealt the rebellion, and
that at least one Of those
important successes could
not have been achieved when
1t was but for the aid Of
black soldiers. I hope
peace will come soon, come
to stay, and so come as TO be
worth the keeping in all fu-
ture time. 1t will then have
been proved that among free
men there can be no success
full appeal from the ballot to
the bullet, and that they who
take such an appeal are sure
to lose their case and pay
the cost. And then there will
be some black men who can
remember that with silent
tongue and clenched teeth,
and steady eye and we'll
poised bayonet, they have
helped mankind on to this
great contamination; while I
fear there will be some white
ones unable to forget that
with malignant heart and
deceitful speech they have
strove TO hinder 1t. Still, let
us not be over sanguine OF
a speedy final triumph. Let
us be quite sober. Let us
diligently apply the means,
never doubling that a Just
God. in his own good time,
will give us the rightful
result"
