here that when the senior

be made a junior high school

The School ard has
found that it would be very
costly to put the Hoffman,

shape for use as a senior

three years ago that SIS
million would be needed to
provide senior high school
facilities there comparable to
those in other Arlington SEN

reason why it is planned to

A BOOK FOR TO-DAY
Anthology of Scientists Writinqs
By DONALD MINTZ

DARWIN FOR TODAY, The
Essence of His Works. Edited
and with an introduction, by
Stanley Edgar Hyman. ass
PIP. Viking Press, $3.50.
The notion Of publishing an
anthology from the works Of
Charles Darwin for a general
audience is fantastic.
The particular anthology
put together by a literary crit
ic, Stanley Edgar Hyman, is
even more so.
Mr.. Hyman, who teaches
at Bennington College, offers
only one work Of broad ap-
peal, the uncut version Of
Darwin'S autobiography that
first appeared in 1858. That il

such as the one in which Oar.

logical faith and its replace.
ment by a sort Of ethical faith
are fascinating.
For the rest, Mr.. Hyman's
selection is - it is the only
possible word - fantastic.
He begins with a few brief
sections from a book he calls
by its popular title, 1.-THE Voy.
age of the Beagle" "The
Voyage" is for the most part
accessible to the layman. In
some perverse way, this
seems to explain why Mr.: Hy.
man has given us so little Of
it.
Fantasy Begins

begins in earnest, we have

THE PASSING SCENE
Signs of op-GoIdwoter Effort
BY WILLIAM S. WHITE

The great perils Of being q
front-runner In presidential
politics are heavily gathering
now over the head Of Sena-
tor Barry Goldwater Of Ari-
IONA.
Nothing yet visible suR-
geSts that he is losing much
Of his extraordinary momen-
tum among the Republican
rank-and-file. There Is every
sign, however. that one of the
most powerful stop" move
ments against q presidential
aspirant ever to be mounted
by Eastern, internationalist-
and also very rich-Repub-
hcaniSm Is now in motion.
It Is rising within that
modern" Republican faction
which years ago stopped
Senator Robert A. Taft Of
Ohio at the very brink Of the
nomination and gave it in
stead to Dwight D. Eisen-
hover.
Indeed, the parallel be-
tween Senator Taft in 1852
and Senator Goldwater at
the approach Of 1864 is be-
coming strikingly clear.
Against Senator Taft the
crucial argument was that
while he was no doubt the
hero Of regular Republican,
ism his foreign policy views
were isolationist.
Precisely these arguments
are being made now against
Senator Goldwater- and OBJ
viously with increasing ef-
feet, whether or not they
are to succeed against him in
the end. Moreover, something
new has been added. There
never was any suggestion IL
years ago that q @. o. P.
convention decision to nomi-
nate Senator Taft anyhow
would result In widespread
bolts from him on election
day. But exactly these sug-
geStions are now being made
within the Rockefeller wing.
Getting Closer
While not uttering an I'M
qualified threat to sit out
the presidential campaign
should his rival win the
nomination, Gov. Nelson
Rockefeller Of New York is
edging closer and closer to
just that.
His most recent statement
avoided an outright declara-
ton that he would not sup
port Senator Goldwater, but
it amounted to saying he
would do so only II the
Senator ran on a @. o. p.
platform like that Of 1860.
And this is strictly the sort
Of platform, with its more or
less open-ended promises on
civil rights, which the Arr
conan has already made
clear he could never accept
as the choice of the conven-
ton. .

Republican Leader Dirksen
& The Private Right To
Discriminate In Public

In facing up to the civil rights issue, Senator
Everett Dirksen (R.-Ill) is again mounting be-
half of the conservatives Of the Republican party
the old GO .-DHiecrat line that has human rights
subordinated to proptrty rights.
Senator Dirltsen Is again raising the question
whether, in enacting sweeping civil rights egisla-
ton public Accommodations we are not interfering
with the rights of Others.
1t is necessary to put this in context If we
pass legislation that will assure Negroes access to
publicly offered services and accommodations pro-
vided by publicly licensed and chartered business
organizations WILL in Senator DirEsen's view
transgress the rights of the of those bus
inesses to and refuse service to whomsoever
they choose.
This brings up a poignant, touching picture.
Poor Howard Johnson, for example sitting agonized
in his suite of offices while his rights are being
trampled upon his rights to turn away unfed and
unrefreshed from his hundreds of roadside restaur-
ants hungry and thirsty wayfarers whose dark COM
pexions offend him! Poor Mr. Kresge! Poor Mr.
Hilton! The country has used them badly has eroded
away right after another. We take big chunks of
their profits. We interfere with and regulate their
rights to float stocks and bonds. We lay down
and enforce rules about the food they can serve and
the conditions under which it Is handled. We tell
hotel and motel operators how they must launder
and change bedding Such interference with their
private rights!
Now we are going to tell them that accommod-
atoms and services offered to the public must be
open to the public. Such interference with their
rights There's no longer any liberty in this country
when public host cannot tell thirsty tired way
farer to go you-know-where
We cannot resist sarcasm in dealing with argu-
ments such as those offered by Senator Dirksen of
Illinois, the Senate minority leader. However they
deserve the serious attention of all civil rights advo-
Gates, and especially the civil rghtsts in Repubu-
can circles For if Senator Drksens sham arguments
are to prevail, to be taken seriously among
thinking men and women great damage can be done
to the country and especially to Senator Dirksens
Republican party.
1t has been a source of great establishment to
to observe how people like Senator DirIsen can
delude themselves with this outandish confusion
and perverson of the issue. Dirl1sen really knows
better
We talking about the rights Of people to
the necessities and comforts available in publicly
offered services and accommodations Senator Dirk
is talking about the rights Of publicly chartered
businesses to shut off their services to whole sections
of the American public. That's the issue. If the Re-
publican leadership wants to have division of the
electorate that one, let them keep Senator Dirk
sen out in front their spokesman on this matter

Apparently the slayer of Medgar Evers has
been apprehended by the FBI in cooperation with
the Jackson, Miss, police force. Already a MOTTO

Citizens Council member De La Beckwith ex-Marine

ner this is perhaps offered to extenuate the crime
Of this murderous savage, who hid in the bushes to
shoot Medgar Evers, patriotic American in the
back.
The arrest shows how effective the FBI can be
when it wants to be in the apprehension of GRIM
inals-even those charged with crimes against
American Negroes. A key factor in the successful
II day search for Evers killer was the activity of
the Jackson police detective force which was prod

alarmed at the enormty of the crime, led the move
to find the killer
After observing the historical lack of interest of

One of the incidental values that proceed from
a great popular movement such as the current Negro
drive for full citizenship is its function in showing
up the stupid factorums, the empty heads and

Reader Claims Socialism
Is Answer To Ending
US. Ruca Discriminate

Editor: While the forces which
engender racism prevail, mere leg
islation cannot solve the basic
problem or prevent that problem
from growing. 1t is economic con-
ditions which create race discrim-
nation and prejudice. The real
issue is unemployment, or rather,
the capitalist system which breeds
unemployment. For in the prem
ises of unemployment - now a
permanent feature of decadent
capitalism racial discrimination
is inevitable, executive order or no
executive order. The abolition of
unemployment - in practice, the
abolition of capitalism - will ter
inmate the prejudice breeding
competition for jobs.
Socialism, system of produc-
ton for use instead of production
for sale, will ensure economic op-
portunity for all. Daniel De Leon,
founder of the program of the
Socialist Labor Party, put it this
way, Under Socialism the Negro
will occupy the identical position
occupied by the white, the yellow
or the brown man. Whoever works,
whatever his color or creed, will
enjoy the full fruit of his labor.
Whoever is drunk, be he white or
Negro, will be despised; whoever
is sober, be he Negro or white,
will be esteemed. Opportunities,
physical and mental, being equal
to all, a man will be the architect
Of himself and esteemed for his
architecture. Yours truly, Gene
