WATCHING THE WORLD
u. S. Policy and too Distant Goals
BY CROSBY S. MOVE
Foreisn Correspondent Of The 81

deed q quite literal answer to
this question, there Is unlike
ly to be any significant adj
vance In the idea Of equal
partnership" within the al
lance. at least in the mill
tary field.
The problem Is that any
real progress toward Euro
pean unity along the line
suggested by Mr.. RuSk is
highly unlikely for a long
time to come. And there
is more than a little doubt
that the alliance itself will
survive the wait.
Unity Progress Stymied
For the time being, at least,
progress toward European
unity is firmly stymied by
conflicting concepts over
what form this unity should
take. Gen. de Gaulle's con-
cept Of 1'Europe des pa
tries" a confederation Of SOW
ereign states, is firmly re-
sisted by the smaller nations
which cling to the idea Of a
supranational federation.
But every move to develop
the existing supranational
institutions Of the European
group is blocked with equal
firmness by Gen. de Gaulle.5
From Mr.. Rusk's point Of
view, however, the sad fact Is
that If there is anyone who
aspires to speak for Europe
today it is Gen. de Gaulle.
And If there is any power
full new thrust toward the
development Of new institu-
tons designed to help Europe
speak with one voice they are
likely to be Of the generals
deviSing.
Gen. de Gaulle may we'll
fail in his attempt to impose
his concept Of Europe. But If
he does, and II his policies
are abandoned in the end,
construction Of a European
federation will not be easily
achieved. Even enthusiasts
for a United States Of Europe
speak in terms Of deca de S
before European unity can
have much real meaning.
And If, in the meantime.
no one can speak for Eu-
rope" in Mr.. Rusk's sense, the
outlook for the alliance will
be bleak. 1t is fine, of course,
for the United States to
throw its weight behind the
ideal of a United Europe. But
if the practical development
of American policy toward
Europe depends on the
achievement of distant and
difficult goals, 1t may seem
to some like no policy at all.

Almost Never on Sunday

Back in 1860, the Virginia General
Assembly rewrote its old Sunday blue
law in the hope of clearing up vague
ness which made its enforcement vir-
tually impossible But this effort to
define specific items which could and
could not be sold on Sunday led to even
more hopeless confusion. Now, after
more than year of study, the Virginia
Advisory Legislative Council has issued
a report which piouSly indorSeS the 1860
failure.
To be sure, the council suggests
amendments which presumably would
unravel couple of the Sillier and more
obvious inconsistencies in the current
law. But only a couple.
As a whole, the VALC solution"
would leave merchants, consumers and
enforcement officials as badly off as
ever. Thus, for example, bologna (be-
cause it does not need to be cooked
presumably could stin be sold on Sum
day, but never hot dogs because they
need cooking). Tomatoes would be
available at roadside stands, but not
in delicatessens. You could buy "Sou-
.venirs" whatever they may be) but
not toys, flash bulbs but not cameras,
mobile homes" but not automobiles,
fishing rods but not baSeballS, milk but
not eggs, electrical fuses but not shoe
strings. What utter nonsense!
The VALC begins with the premise
that "a single day Of rest and recrea-
ton" is good thing. We agree. And so
does nearly everyone else. Indeed, the
important thing to remember about the
practice Of curtailed business activity on
Sunday is that it reflects the customs
and the desires Of the community The
perpetuation Of this practice does not
require legislation, which, as in Virginia,
leads only to endless abSurdities.
Virginia should repeal its silly law,
and rely upon the natural forces of
supply and demand to take care of those
limited purchases which people either
want or need to make.

Status of Women

In your appraisal of the
report by the Presidents
Commission on the Status of
Women you u unfairly rep
resente d DR.. M argare t
Mead's views on marriage.
You mentioned her classic
study relating to love in Sa-
moa and her more recen t
concern with population
problems which you equated
with an anti-marriage and
anti-parent attitude. You
also represented DR.. Mead as
being afraid too many prom
iSing young women were
forsaking anthropology for
marriage. This, too, is mis-
representation. I believe that
you chose to refer to DR..
Mead in your editorial only
for the literary effect of
name dropping and with lit
tie regard for scholarship.
DR.. Mead appraises the re-
port in the November issue of
a popular magazine. She Is in
complete agreement with you
on the value of woman in the
home, but she raises many
questions which relate to the
study but were unanswered
by it.

Civil Riqhts

The President, having won a hard
fought battle to pry out of the House
Judiciary Committee a civil rights bill
with chance for enactment, naturally
puts the best possible face on the
measure.
In his Philadelphia remarks, he
said that civil rights is not a partisan
issue, which certainly is true, and that
the committee-approved bill is strong,
just, effective and reasonable" an ap-
praiSal which is not universally shared
Southerners will oppose it.. Repre-
sentative Colmer of Mississippi says
the bill was rammed through the COM
mittee without so much as a chance
to ask questions about it, much less
offer amendments. This probably is
true. But the opportunity for questions
and amendments presumably will come
when the bill is called up in the House,
and the Southerners, of course, would
oppose any bill in any event which
made more than gesture toward civil
rights.
The bill is also being opposed by
Vic uUeIdlS. 4Hey say CIldC IL is 700
weak and represents a surrender on
the part Of the Republican leaders and
the House Democratic leadership. This,
we suspect, is strictly tongue-in-c
stuff. The liberals" may offer amend
ments (Which they know will not be
accepted) but it is not likely that they
will vote against the measure when
the test comes. For it is not a weak
bill, and they know it.
Perhaps it goes too far at one point
or not far enough at another These
are matters that can be determined
when the House and the Senate get
down to thorough scrutiny of the fine
print. At this stage, however, it strikes
us as a reasonable bill.

Texas Impressions

We are sure that m any
Americans WINGED at the re-
ported behavior Of some ma
tive Texans from Dallas" in
the rude display Of ill-man-
nered actions toward the
visit Of Adlai Stevenson on
behalf Of the United Nations.
Having just completed an
other journey through Texas
en- route to Washington, the
above does not come as a
surprise. In our necessary
stops across the State, we
were again impressed by the
rudeneSS. SNUG complacency,
lack of courtesy, etc., Of the
people and by the treeless
and barren settlements of
the countryside indicating
very plainly an almost total
absence Of civic pride. A su-
perb job has been done in
Texas by the maSter-minds
Of qualification. Litter, bill
boards, auto Junk yards, and
dead and barren roadsides
and fields and woods sprayed
with plant-killing chemicals
make the journey a series of
depressing and obnoxious
impressions difficult to erase
from the memory.
A news item in the Dallas
News, which recount ed a
plan Ito be good to orphan
children by taking them on a
hunt to kill deer" fits well
into the moral and cultural
level displayed there.

Boy Meets Girl

While Madame Nhu traipSed
around the country, Strengthening us
out on almost everything, it became
increasingly evident that not everybody
was paying close attention. In addition
to a few million Americans, a prime
example is her own charming daughter,
LIE Thuy, whose mind If not heart seems
to have Strayed closer to Texas than to
the serious business of Wet Nam.
If Madame Nhu did not take the
country by storm, Miss LIE Thuy made
good progress, at least in that impor-
tant area where men are men and
ranches vie with oil fields for their
central interest. A young chap named
Bruce B. Baxter III, whom we Judge
to be scion of both cattle and oil for
tunes, has shown more than average
interest in the petite visitor, having
pursued her by private plane to Cali
fornia.
AS young friends will, they went
swimming and skeet-shooting together,
and toured Hollywood night spots,
always chaperoned, of course, in the
V1etnameSe custom.
Bruce and LIE Thuy could show the
rest of us how East and West, the first
with its exotic charm and the latter
with its steers and oil, might settle petty
differences and live happily together.
But as to their plans, LIE Thuy remains
the universally inScrutable female:
Bruce is awfully nice. I don't think I
should say more"

Dallas Incident

With admirable speed and feeling,
Dallas civic leaders &c outraged and
abjectly ashamed" apologized to
Adlai Stevenson for the indignities
heaped upon him by a handful of
lunatic-fringe haterS of the United
Nations. Fittingly enough, moreover,
the apology has been backed UP by
the Governor of Texas with a special
statement deploring the incident as
IAN affront to common courtesy and
decency."
AS for Mr.. Stevenson himself, he
has reacted with characteristic aplomb,
good temper and touch of compass
sion. Although booed, heckled, jostIed,
Spat upon and hit on the head, our
chief delegate to the u NJ has reminded
everybody that it takes all kinds to
make world and that the extremists
involved in this particular demonStra-
ton represent only tiny fraction of
Dallas population. He has therefore
told the police, 81 don't want to send
them to jail want to send them to
school," Unhappily, though, such people
are already dropoutS from reality and
the processes of education. Their minds
If that is the right word-are tightly
closed, and they apparently want to
keep them that way. They are mas
Sively, militantly and almost proudly
ignorant of what makes the world tick

stances is the possibility that somehow,

Two Brutuses'

Those magnificent Repub-
licans, Nelson Rockefeller
and Jacob Javits, are now on
record to the effect that they
would not support Senator
Goldwater for President I'M
less he alters some of his
views.
That Is just fine. Now, on
behalf of quite a few conser-
vative Republicans, it might
be in order to advise Rookie
Teller and Javits Of a thing
or two:
/. Under no circumstances
(repeat, none) will many
conservatives support Rookie
Teller. Offering Rockefeller
as an alternative to Kennedy
is like offering cyanide as an
alternative to hemlock.
2. Senator Javits votes for
K edy every chance he
gets in the Senate, and we
fully expect him to continue
his unerring record of oppo-
sition to the majority of his
own party in November 1864.
8. Gov. Rockefeller claims
he is running on the 1860
Republican platform. AS a
m after Of fact, he Is also
running on the 1860 Demo-
cratic platform.
4. If the liberal wing des-
erts the party when a con-
sentative is nominated, as
conservatives have never
done in the opposite situa-
ton, then we shall see who is
cutting the throat Of whom
in the election years to come.
Whatever the final posi-
ton Of the two Brutuses
from New York, the Republic
can party will survive with
out them. 1t has survived
without them so far.

Composers such as Haydn,

EAfLlo.
What is Europe and who
speaks for it?"
Secretary Of State Rusk's
speech at Frankfurt this
week was, to judge from the
reaction, the strongest and
by all odds the best that has
been directed at a European
audience by any member of
the Kennedy administration
so far.
1t was made, for one thing
In an obvious mood of irrita-
ton. For the first time, Mr..
Rusk appeared to be assert
ing himself as the American
Secretary Of State and the
real spokesman for American
foreign policy. After the con-
fusions of the last few weeks,
it was a welcome change.
The questions which he
raised, however, are not like
ly to be quickly or clearly an
swered. To ask who speaks
for Europe today sounded to
most observers here m ore
like q challenge than a seri-
Gus request for information.
Mr.. Rusk, perhaps, was in
viting the new West German
government to speak for Eu-
rope more loudly in the fu-
ture. AS a counter-in
to the "counsels Of the past"
of French President de
Gaulle, q more assertive role
for Germany within the Eu-
ropean community would I'M
doubtedly be welcome e. in
Washington.
But surely Mr.. Rusk's
challenge went further than
this. The Secretary made it
clear that strengthening of
the Western Alliance in part
nership with the United
States depended on increas-
ing European political unity.
Europe. he said, must move
ahead from its present polit-
ical framework" If it hoped
to assume greater responsible
tiles within the Western camp.
Future Control
This most especially was
true within the nuclear field.
In reaffirming American
proposals for a multilateral
nuclear force for NATO, Mr..
Rusk left the clear impress
sion that control Of this force
eventually would pass to Eu-
ropean hands as European
political unity was achieved.
Until then all nations con-
tributing to the mulitlateral
force would retain a veto
over its use.

1t has Just been called to
my attention that The Star
IN reporting the death of nv
husband, Joseph M. Franck-
enstein, quoted an Associated
Press account which stated
inaccurately that he had
"spied for the United States
during World War II" I
would like to set the record
straight.
My husband, an Austrian
by birth, came to this coun-
try in 1871 and joined the
American Armed Forces in
1912. He saw action with the
87th Mountain Infantry
when it invaded the Aleu-
tianS. In 1914, my husband
transferred to the Office of
Strategic Services and as an
American officer worked in
the Austrian underground
movement. In the spring of
1945, he was captured and
tortured by the Nazis, and es-
capped from prison camp
when our troops entered In
nsbruck. He had worked in
the Austrian underground
with such distinguished and
courageous men as DR.. Karl
Gruber, who became Austri-
an Ambassador to Washing
ton after the war.
Joseph M. Franckenstein,
who gladly relinquished his
title of baron when he be-
came an American citizen in
1913, was buried in the
Golden Gate National Gene
terry with military honors. I
know that it would have been
his choice, had he known that
death was imminent, to be
placed there with other
Americans who had served
their country with courage
and devotion.
I am sure that you will
wish to see the error concern
ing his war record corrected
by publication of this letter.
