Issues cannot, of course, be

progress on these problems in
Mr.. Kennedy's recent trip to
Europe. The primary prob

Negroes Believed Likely to Lose Support
Of Many Whites in March on Congress

Nowhere is the need for re-
straint and responsibility
more urgent than in organ
izing the huge Negro demon
stration called for August in
Washington. Whom do the
Negroes hope to impress or to
frighten by this display of
numbers? They will not give
new arguments to their
friends in Congress or the
press by these marchers in
the streets. Nor will they
silence the Southern Sena-
tors, especially when they
have foolishly announced the
demonstration long before
the first word in the South
ern filibuster has been spoken.
The most probable results of
the Washington demonstra-
ton is that it will irritate
the Senators with small
Negro populations in their
States and drive them to vote
against the Presidents bill.
On the lowest ground of
practical expediency, it can
safely be forecast that the
demonstration will lose more
votes than it will win; and
this at a time when every
vote urgently counts. Con-
gress can never be intimi-
dated into voting for equal
ity. 1t must be persuaded, and
the arts Of persuasion as I'M
derstood in Washington have
little to do with the strategy
Of street d e m o n tr atoms.
There might be something to
be said in justification Of
these demonstrations If Con-
gresS had shown that 1t was
unable or unwilling to give a
clear verdict on civil rights.

Seen from a more distant
perspective, the recent Ken
nedy trip to Europe has GER
tain advantages of an impor-
tant nature from the point of
view Of American self-inter-
est.
Since he will take more
trips-probahly in the fall to
Japan and the Far East
there is a special interest in
what Mr.. Kennedy is trying
to accomplish.
1t may not be long before
he is the senior statesman of
the great powers, and thus of
the world. Macmillan, Ade-
nauer, Khrushchev, Mao,
Nehru-even De Gaulle-are
on the way out.
Assuming Mr.. Kennedy's
election to a second term, he
could conceivably assume that
special stature attaching to
an American President who
can stand as a symbol Of the
aspirations of a great part of
the world. In this case we
would once again have a
world leader whose fame and
established position exceeded
that Of the less well-known
contemporary leaders who
will succeed the present great
names.
In this context. the tur-
bulent motorcades through
European cities, however tir-
ing and even dangerous, make
more sense. Mr.. Kennedy is
thus able to demonstrate to
the coming leaders of the
western world that the
American President has won
popular affection in their
own countries.
This cannot be done, Of
course, without the consent
and cooperation of heads Of
state. In such cities as Paris
and Rome, popular demon
STATIONS for visitors do not
rise spontaneously. When
they are not arranged. they
do not occur, as in the case
of the Presidents visit to
Rome. But they do occur
when they are arranged in
such cities as Naples.
When these demonStra-
lions exceed the mere ex-
preston Of warmth and in
terest as they did in both
Berlin and Naples, they in
troduce an important polit-
ical factor. After the pas
sage of Is years since Amer
lea was in the glamorous
role of iberator Of Western
Europe, and many adverse
events and much anti-Amer-
lean propaganda, this Nation
still attracts the envy. affec-
ton and admiration Of the
world.
1t is perhaps not too much
to say that no other world
leader than the American
President could command
such an outpouring of SYM
pathy and affection in West
ern Europe, or anywhere.
Certainly, it would not be

The Nation has been
placed under notice that next
month will mark the begin
ming of intensified demon
STATIONS by Negro citizens in
their campaign for civil
rights and racial equality.
1t will be said at once by
those outside the Negro
community that the battle
for moderation has been lost
and that the extremists are
now in control Of policy. This
judgment is not correct. The
decision to continue the
demonstrations on a larger
scale has been made by
Negro leaders who, in the
context Of the present crisis,
deserve their reputation for
moderation and RESPONSE
bility. They have decided
that the gathering discomfort
may sweep the wild men into
power unless they place
themselves at the head Of
the protest. They hope to
moderate the demonstrations
which they can neither con-
troll nor stop.
Honesty compelS the ad-
mission that no one living
apart from the Negro COM
munity can measure the
strain and pressures which
these leaders have endured.
Among these leaders are
men of acknowledged indie
pendence and courage who
would not have hesitated to
resign If they had believed
that their resignation would
be more than a futile ges-
ture. One must reluctantly
bow to their assessment of
the situation while one ques-
tons the wisdom of their
decision and regrets its
necessity.
If these men are to main
tain their status as respon-
sible Negro leaders, they
have a clear and present
duty to do everything in
their power to keep the
demonstrations from becom-
ing provocative and violent.
This means they must CO.
operate frankly and in good
time with the local authority
and police officials in ar
ranging their protest and
demonstrations. In the pres
ent state Of the crisis they
can help the Negro cause
far more by cooperating
with the authorities In pre-
serving law and order than
they can be filling the jails
in calculated campaigns Of
civil disobedience.
For the Negroes deceive
themselves when they think
they have made their recent
gains all by themselves.
They have appealed to the
conscience of the American,
In the South no less than
the North, and 1t is because
many Americans have re-
sponded 10 that appeal that
Congress is now studying
the Presidents program on
civil rights.
Indeed, the protests have
been so successful. in the last
few months, because many
Americans were ready to give
the Negroes the benefit Of the
doubt and TO conclude that
they were exercising the con-
stitutional rights Of free as
sembly and peaceful petition
instead Of acting in violation
Of local ordinances. This
tolerance will swiftly evapo-
rate II white Americans de-
eide that Negroes are relying
not on reason and justice but
on intimidation and threats.

Critics and fanCierS of Modern Art
can get an eyetu at the National
Gallery starting Tuesday

other centuries and other cultures gathered
together on the Mall. In strict theory, no doubt,
our own art ought to say more to US, but it
doesn't always work that way because part of
the business of artists is to stand on kind of
spiritual tiptoe and look beyond the walls of a
certain time that are impossibly high for most
of US. That's why Rembrandt and Raphael, at
the Gallery, still fling their sonorities and
seventies at us over the centuries and hit the
target every time. That is also why most of the
painters in the loan exhibition not only speak
eloquently of both the technical progress of
painting and the condition of man in the 10th
century, but at the same time illuminate some
corner of the heart of man that exists under the
aspect of eternity.

consequent closing of its galleries, 153
of its key paintings have been loaned to

voice to claim the 153 represent everything
going on in modern art from the late 18th cen
fury until now. But the pictures will give Wash
ington its most ordered and most nearly CON-
plete look so far at the complex and contra
dictory phenomena all called modern art"
This is good because this city has been the
source of most of the violent opposition to
modern art" that has married the tranquility
one expects to find in art museums and has
diverted esthetic attention to questions of
politics and Self-defenSe. The exhibition
should go a long way toward correcting the
somewhat foggy ideas of modern art that may
still be encountered here, especially among
the city's aldermen, the Congress.
One ofthe foggiest was initiated by the new
ertheless great British critic, John RuSkin,
when he accused the Yankee coxcomb"
James Whistler, Of flinging pot of paint in
the face of the public. There persists to this
day the notion that modern art spends lot of
time doing just that. And there has been fOs-
tered, largely by Congressional committees, an
idea of the Museum of Modern Art as chiefly
contriver of catapults for the Fingers.
If Congressman can be lured to the Ma
tional Gallery without the attraction of Mrs.
Kennedy and Nine Alphand-a doubtful prop
osition-a 10 minute stroll through the exhibi-
ton will demolish both ideas. The more seri-

Winter Driving
Dangerous Job

In winter weather driving it is
the sudden skid and inability to
see out of windshields plastered
with snow and road-muck that
often mains or kills the un-
prepared driver and his pas
SengerS.
This is the statement Of one
of the top authorities on winter
driving hazards of the National
Safety Council Traffic Confer
ence, Prof. A. H. Easton, Chair
man of the Councils Committee
on Winter Driving Hazards and
Director Of the Motor Vehicle
Research Laboratory, Universe
ty of Wisconsin.
"Tests conducted each year
by our committee have given us
considerable knowledge about
winter weather driving" Easton
said. "It is my belief that many
motorists have accidents simply
because they neglect equipment"
The Committee on Winter
Driving Hazards is made up of
aut m motive engineers from
Detroit, test drivers, govern
ment officials and university re-
SearcherS.
"Our committee works in
temperatures ranging down to
80 degrees below zero on frozen
lakes and fields and snow packed
roadways to come up with
answers that may save lives"
the traffic safety specialist said.
Here are some Of EaSton's
suggestions for safe operation in
snow, ice, freezing weather and
fog.
"DriverS must be able to see
and be seen. Early hours of
darkness make 1t imperative
that lighting systems are per-
feet, with both upper and lower
beams properly aimed" he said.
"Keeping lights clean is often
overlooked by motorists. Keep
a cloth handy to wipe off road
CRIME, and a brush to remove
snow" Easton urged.
He maintains that failure to
keep windshield wipers in top
condition causes thousands Of
winter crashes.
"Drivers neglect their blades
and when they hit snow or rain
they drive almost blind, he said.
cit is foolish to put lives and a
vehicle costing several thousand
dollars in jeopardy by neglect
ing maintenance Of wiper arms
and blades," Easton said.
"Wiper blade rubber must be
checked frequently because sum
mer sun bakeS the rubber and
causes It to harden. The arm
pressure must be firm to avoid
streaking. Manufacturers
recommend an ounce ofpreSsure
for each inch Of blade length for
efficiency in clearing off rain,
snow, sleet and road-muck," the
educator explained.
Equally important, our tests
at ClintonTlle, WIS.,, and in
Michigan have proved that inpse-I
we're conditions, reinforced tire
chains are needed" Easton said.
"Snow tires give you half again
as much pulling power in snow
as regular tires, but when con-
ditions are bad, chains give up
to five times as much traction"
he said.
Easton urges every driver to
keep a set Of reinforced tire
chains in the trunk for emergen-
cy conditions.
He warned motorists to be on
guard when the temperature Is
just above freezing.
"Wet Ice at 80 degrees is
twice as slippery as Ice at zero
temperature. The polishing by
heavy traffic also makes ic
more slippery" he said.

Acreage in tn e Tyonek Range. the Susitna Gunnery Range. the Susitna River Val ley, and the Susitna River headwaters has been opened for the filing of non-competl- tive oil and gas lease applica- tions, according to Depart ment of Natural Resources an- nouncement. The leasing blocks or tracts will be mapped on the none protraction sheets cover ing the 393, PIT acres opened for lease.
 The availability of the lands for oil and gas leasing does not necessarily mean that they lie within a sedimentary basin and are, therefore, prospectively favorable for oil and gas de- velopment, the announcement stated. Instrusive, extrusive, and metamorphic rocks are known to exist in some of the areas available at this time.
 Applications may be filed from 10 am. to 3 pm. Monday through Friday beginning at 10 am. March 4 and ending at 3 pm. April 2, 1863. At the close of the 30-day simultaneous fil- ing period, the public will be notified of the date of a pub- lie drawing to establish prior ities on each tract.

 Mrs. Glen Schroeder explain ed first grade procedures in teaching reading. and Mrs. Henning Blunck discussed the special methods used in the progressive first grade. Second grade methods were described by Mrs. William Hecker, while Mrs. Larry Weihr covered the third grade. The remedial read ing program was described by Mrs. Lonzo Smart.
 The need for teaching phon- ics throughout the reading pro- gram was emphasized by all the teachers who took part in the panel, Mrs. Hubert said. The educators recommended the combination method, which employs both phonics and sight reading.
 Illustrative materials were used by the teaching group in outlining the steps in the read ing program through the first three grades.
