one question we, as Negroes,
need ask ourselves. We are
at the threshold Of the sum-
NIT; do we want to earn the
promotion and reach the pin
nacle with honor or do we
want to back in the door?
Do we want q captain with
an asterisk? To earn the
promotion through open COM
petition would be the therapy
needed to rebuild the Negroes
dignity and self-assurance.
1t would destroy the entire
perspective to say we deserve
the prize without running
the race. This is more than
just an individual gain for
one person.
The Marchers Of August
70 will have countless BAN
ners promulgating EQUAL
ITY." We cannot strive for
equality and campaign on a
platform Of favoritism. True,
partisanship has been shown
the white man In the past;
but isn't this Just what we
are trying to stop? This
would be the most propitious
time for us to show our true
eminence by refusing to be
a participant In acts Of ia
voritism.
I am a Negro and one Of
the lieutenants mentioned
for the captaincy. and while
I am most grateful for all
our leaders are doing, we
have never had a better OPP
portunity to display our vir-
tue by practicing what we
are preaching. These are my
personal views.

AS we approach the 1864
election year I would like to
give a little advice to the Re-
publican Party.
After the 1860 election
various groups and minorities
claimed that their support
for President Kennedy gave
him the small majority VIC
tory. I have read that the
Catholics voted him in, our
Negro friends gave him the
victory, the Jewish commu-
nifty pushed him over, the
Government workers really
did the trick-everyone ex-
cept the Republican minority
group.
I say 1t was the womenl

boyish good looks and his Ivy

Therefore let's come up
with one man on the Repub-
lican ticket who will make the
ladies sit up and take notice.
I nominate Gov. Mark Hat

as a button and loaded with
manly charm. (My private

I say the Republicans

A BOOK FOR TODAY
A Feminine MonoIogue of Merit
By DONALD MINTZ

with considerable public ex-
posture is perforce a public
wife.
Whatever notions she and
her family may hold about
the place in society Of the
well-educated woman who
also is of necessity always
and forever mother are
bound to be shaped by some
sort of public consensus.
She must play her public
role, she must play her fam
lily role (if one can tolerate
the implications of that So
Geological phrase, and she
must safeguard something in
herself.
Mrs. Goldberg uses the
word "creativity" for that
something. In her particular
case, it has an obvious, pre-
else meaning. 1t refers to her
activities as an artist.
It also has a broader
meaning, a meaning of more
general appeal, and q mean
ing that is very hard to get
at. It refers to internal re-
sources and the ability to
bring them to external ex-
preston. This is what dis
tinguishes the human being
from the automaton, and this
is what Mrs. Goldberg is pas
sionately eager to foster and
develop in others and in her
self.
How? Mrs. Goldberg does
not claim to know. Her book
merely invites you who may
be at a temporary pause and
standstill to look two ways:
outward to the world Of &C.,
ton and process, and in,
ward to the world Of woman's
own deep concern and won

perhaps largely just because

After reading the recent
proposals of some Of our
leading citizens to effect the
elevation Of a Negro, solely
because he is a Negro, to the
rank Of captaincy in the
Metropolitan Police Depart
ment, I felt 1t obligatory to
express my views. There is no
doubt in my mind that there
should have been captains
and above Of the Negro race
long ago. 1t Is also true that
equal opportunities in the
better paying jobs in most
fields were not open en- masse
to the man Of color.
When I Joined the police
department in 1947 there
were six Negro detective SER
geants and 1t was, and had
been for many years, an un-
written law that until one Of
them was either retired, re-
signed or discharged, no
other Negro would be elevat-
ed to that rank. 1t was also
true that when one of them
was separated another Negro
would be elevated in his for
mer place. Over the past Is
years all Of this has been re-
moved and now promotions,
for the most part. are made
according to placement on
the Civil Service register.
This register is established as
a result Of q competitive ex-
animation every other year.
These examinations, and this
procedure Of promotions,
have unequivocally proven a
god-send for the Negro. Once
the register is set UP 1t Is as
public as q newspaper. There
are copies in every unit Of

GoIdwoter's Beliefs

I join heartily in your wish
that Senator Goldwater state
his beliefs In plain language.
I trust that The Star will
scrutinize every politician as
closely as it does the Senator;
that will be funI Does Rocky
propose Federal aid for bro
ken homes? Does Warren
mean prayer is unconstitu-
tional in FHA-financed hous-
ing? Does Kennedy think q
glittering campaign issue
comes before his most diligent
devotion to the Nation?
Should the test-ban treaty
ever be ridden as recklesSly
as was the missile gap by
other, earlier candidates, your
views would seem less over
drawn. The Senator, I be-
leve, has not yet even COM
mitted himself on this issue,
but is only voicing a family of
objections which run some
what deeper than the current
public discussion. If our role
as the worlds defender is to
be reconsidered or laid aside,
whether from WEAKNESS, scru-
pies or justice, at least let
every man lend his whole
heart to every side Of the
question.
Any withdrawal from Eu-
rope which sprang from q
nonaggression pact rather
than from basic changes In
Soviet socio-political philos-
ophy would simply involve
round-trip transportation ex-
penses for all our troops, with
Turkey, Greece and Italy
taken into captivity during
the voyage. I recoil, sir, with
the Senator!
I consider the alternative
to be at worst an endless cold
war and, at best, q CONVEX
sion of the Soviets to an open
society of free men, in true
respect for self and fellow.
Then the cold war will melt
away with no controversy.

THE PASSING SCENE
U.S.. Quondory in South Wet Nam

The area Of the nasty and
all-but-forgotten little war In
Southeast Asia Is suddenly
turned into q theater Of large
crisis for the United States
and for the anti Communist
cause all around the world.
The elements Of tragedy
and disaster lie now In South
Wet Nam, where 1000 Amer
lean troops have long been
helping President Ngo Dinh
Diem In resisting Communist
guerrillas by armed force.
In this scene, the United
States Government has Just
denounced Mr.. Diem who
has to date been considered
an indispensable ally - with
unexampled harshness for his
severe measures to put down
Bud dhist demonstrations
against his regime.
The Buddhists say they are
acting for religious freedom.
Mr.. Diem, q Roman Catholic,
says they are in fact using
religion as a cloak for politi-
cal action against him. What
ever the truth may otherwise
be, they are undeniably serv-
ing Communist interests by
keeping in turmoil q nation
at war with brutal invaders.
Washington, having al
ready said 1t would not sup
port or condone Mr.. Diem's
campaign against the Bud
dhistS, now has gone much
farther. If we have not, In
fact, pulled the rug from un-
der him, we have come peril
ouSly close to doing so. But
at the very same moment we
are assuring him-and with
complete sincerity - Of all
military support in his cam
paign against the Commun-
list aggressors.
Successful Strategy ImperiIed
This, then, Is the dreadful
ball Of wax now confronting
us in Southeast Asia, the
arena Of the most hopeful
military strategy yet devised
in the West to halt creeping
Communist takeover in Asia.
The core Of that plan Is to
use American specialists in
guerrilla fighting and Spe-
cialized American arms as
cadres to the masses Of local
troops.
II it will work In South
Wet Nam-and working well
it has been-it will work al
most anywhere. II it should
now fail in South Wet Nam,

to do with military problems,

Dorothy Goldberg. 2O4 PIP.
(Robert B. Luce, $3.50
The table Of contents Of
Dorothy Goldberg's 1T he
Creative Woman" occupies
31a pages. 1t seems to imply
that here we have a brief but
thoroughly systematic trea-
tise on an important matter.
But Mrs. Goldberg knows
better. She remarks that the
book may be assembled in
scrapbook fashion and not
always logically"
As a matter Of fact, THE
Creative Woman" is that
great mystery, the feminine
monologue. Its logic and
sometimes even its subject
matter are hard for a man
to find. Women, on the other
hand, seem invariably to I'M
derstand this sort of thing.
Do not take this as depre-
cation. Any detailed descrip-
ton Of 1.-THE Creative Wom-
an'-any male description,
at any rate-will have q dep
recatory or even patroniz-
ing tone about it. And it will
therefore be false.
MRS. GOLDBERG RAM
BLES HERE AND THERE
among her own thoughts
about the position of women
in today's society, art in gen.
eral, and women in art.
Some Of these thoughts,
1t Is true, sound q little like
something out Of a self help
manual, some seem to come
straight from the ladies'
magazines. and some are
pseudo : philosophical nom
sense.
But more Of them are warm
and wise. And it is the feel
ing Of warmth and wisdom
that encompasses the entire
book-including those oc-
casional bits that effectively
are scarcely worth the reading
that make "The Creative
Woman" q fine little volume.
The warmth melts objec-
tons to the occasional
cliches and the loose SEN
tence structure, and even
objections to the ladies'
magazine notions. Thus:
Public life, to be sure, re-
quires q certain amount of
small talk, because 1t is not
civil to sit In silence near
somebody one knows without
commenting pleasantly about
the time of day or the
weather at least. Still, to talk
about the weather with ones
love Is an appalling waste of
time-if not an indication of
no love. And yet, even when
one is In love, one cannot
very well pass the potatoes
at dinner while quoting, say,
from Loves Eternity For
all we know. even Tristan
and Isolde spoke Of the
weather, the wind and the
mists of Cornwall with no
misgivings about whether or
not they were communicate
ing on the same wave length.
Surely, 1t seems unrealistic
to expect high-level dialogue
to be continuous. True dia-
logue is conceivable even in
O silence or occurring some
enchanted evening in an ex-
change OF glances across a
crowded room. Then nothing
more needs to be said"

PREME COURT JUSTICE,

DR.. Bernard A, SaItysiak, presi-
dent Of the association.
Permanent retinal damage
and blindness have frequently
resulted in the past. In 1859,
170 Australians suffered partial
loss of central vision after
watching an eclipse for a few
seconds. Complete blindness
was reported in 81 cases in Utah
in 1860, according to the Op-
tometric Association report.
DR.. Saltysiak suggested one
simple method of viewing the
suns eclipse. Punch a clean
piece of cardboard with a pin.
Do not look through the hole,
but stand with your back to the
sun holding the cardboard over
one shoulder. The suns rays
will come through the pin hole
and be reflected on a piece of
white cardboard held in front
of you.
Welders goggles or multiple
sungiasses might serve for safe
viewing IL they are dark
enough.
