THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
Summer Of Change in Europe

To the accompaniment Of
tumultuOus crowds, President
Kennedy toured Germany, Ire
land and England last week.
Behind the trip, q question
persisted: Why?
In Bonn, more than a million
Rhinelanders shouted "Kep-ne-
DEF"
In Cologne, he drew roars of
laughter with the quip that
though critics charge in America
there are too many Kennedys in
public life," in Germany mo one
has made that complaint about
the Adenauers.
In West Berlin he received the
greatest roar of a welcome he's
ever encountered anywhere. John.
You Our Best Friend" said a sign
near the Wall.
In Ireland he was welcomed
with a personal warmth that
made even the hardest-hearted
feel sentimental.
1t was in every way a dazzling
personal triumph for John Fitz-
gerald Kennedy, touring Presi-
dent Of the United States.
But what did the trip add up
to in terms of the public good?
That was far less clear.

Strong Attack

washington OlIlClalS peggeQ the
speech as the strongest attack Mr..
Kennedy has ever aimed at Presi-
dent de Gaulle.
Possibly so. but in the last dec
ade Mr.. Kennedy could hardly
have been called a Gallophile. He
has, on occasion, shown distrust
and dismay at French policy.
In 1854 at the height Of the
Diem Bien Phu defense crisis, he
urged France to give Indo- China
complete independence. He
shocked both the Senate and the
State Department in his first
major Senate speech by forecast
ing the doom of French interests
in that country.
In 1857 he called upon France
to settle the Algerian agony, in
PRODUCING a Senate resolution
urging President Eisenhower to
intervene. And a year later he
wrote that petty squabble over
United States arms to Tunisia
had created a ''bitter, sitting eli
mate within France - silencing
many voices Of reason. =. :"
His irritation with Pesident de
Gaulle's prima donna ways is not
unique. Two decades ago FDR,
complained that lie Grand
Charles wanted to be Joan Of
Arc" Gen. Eisenhower disliked
De Gaulle's Representatives,
and extraordinary stubbornness"
during World War II.
And Winston Churchill quipped,
"Of all the crosses / have to bear.
the Cross of Lorraine is the
heaviest"

Won Friends

There was little doubt that Mr..
Kennedy's attitude won some
friends in Congress but q long
way remained to go before the
talked-about compromise would
see acceptance. The cloakrooms
has been buzzing before the hear
ing that the administration would
accept elimination Of the entire
accommodations section, but Mr..
Kennedy fatty denied this. He
said that his talks with business
men had convinced him that a
majority would like some such
law and while he could envision
some changes in what is now pro-
posed he couldn't see dropping the
idea altogether.
On the following day Secretary
Of Labor Wirtz appeared as q wit
ness, talking about the Negroes
problems in getting jobs. He adj
mitted that the first step was to
seek fuller employment since more
jobs for Negroes would mean
somebody else would lose work
unless the Nations economic prog
reSs could be stepped UP to take
care of the situation. This, he
was sure, we have the power to do.
Mr.. Wirtz also admitted that
the legislation might well include
provisions for ending discrimina-
ton by labor unions. AS 1t now
stands, the Government may can
eel a businessman's Job contract
because of discrimination but
nothing is said about unions
which discriminate in member
ship or in apprentice training
programs.
The principal debate will con-
tinue to he over the accommoda-
tons section and 1t was consid-
cred most likely that some other
parts of the legislative packet will
get by virtually unnoticed in the
shadow Of the main fight. These
were such things as the school
suits provision and even the set
ting up of a fair employment
practices commission.
AS it finally reached the Senate.
the civil rights legislation had 46
signers, 81 Democrats and 3 Re-
publicans. This was Just short Of
the majority of the 100 Senators
its hackers had hoped for. The key
to Senate action still hinged on
q possible vote to shut off debate
If the Southern filibuster arose
against 1t. The non-Southern
Democrats would need % to rs
Republican votes to do this.
Whether they could get 1t was the
big unknown quantity last week.
As for the timetable prospect
for civil rights it went something
like this:
House committee hearings are
due to continue this week and

The Reasons

Mr.. Kennedy made headlines
around the world last week by his
criticism of the French leader.
But personalities aside, his rebuke
of the Frenchman had reasons
both military and economic. At
French urging the Common Mar
ket has kept out Britain-and the
United States still smarts from q
De Gaulle remark that Britain
was rejected because Of the Po-
laris pact last December. France
wants the United Kingdom tied to
its own nuclear force. apparently
at any cost.
The latest irritant was with
drawal by France, just as Presi-
dent Kennedy arrived In Europe,
Of its pledge TO let the French
navy serve under allied command
in wartime.

Hearings began last week on
the first phases Of President
Kennedy's civil rights legislative
program.
The administration ideal pro-
gram to meet the 1868 national
racial crisis faced its first politi-
cal realities last week.
The week before President Ken
nedS had sent to Congress the
message and legislation to deal
with the rising problems between
the races. Three main actions
Congress might take to give Ne
groes wider participation in every
phase of United States life were
set forth:
/. A legal guarantee of equal
access to all public facilities, ho-
tells, restaurants, retail stores.
This is the public accommoda-
tons" section
2. Authority for the Attorney
General of the United States to
sue against school segregation
where people cannot themselves
enter suit for any reason.
8. An attack on discrimination
in job holding, including new en-
phasis on vocational training to
enable the Negro to hold better
jobs. This would include elimina-
ton of discrimination against
Negro workers on all Federal
jobs.
Co-incident with the presenta-
ton of the program President
Kennedy held many White House
conferences with leaders of public
opinion to enlist their help. Sum-
moned were governors. ministers,
labor leaders, civil rights workers
and others. Their views-generally
favorable-as expressed as they
left the White House commanded
a certain amount Of attention at
the Capitol where the real show
down on the program would come.
Most of the lawmakers were po-
litely agreeable In advance, or
they were taciturn; the opposition
lay low. Early last week it broke
out.

Kot0ngo:
TshombeOu

The COngOIese Parliament last
week approved a bill to unite
South Katanga with q new
province, East Katanga. The
measure appeared the beginning
of the end for a controversial
figure, Noise TshOmbe.
IT am the only Congolese who
does not need to be in politics to
make a living" Noise Tshombe
once said. II am a rich man.
am not like the others. No one
can buy me"
Where neither money nor i'm
prisonment can get rid Of this
man-so unpopular to his fellow
Africans-an act Of parliament
may do the trick.
Mr.. Tshombe is president Of
formerly secessionist South Ka-
tanga Province in the Congo. He
has been under fire from other
Africans for years.
First, he is a millionaire among
impoverished millions. Second. he
is considered a white-man lover
because Of his dealings with the
Union Miniere, a Belgian mining
company. Third. he has a business
mans training, and Belgians have
found him easier to deal with than
nationalist. And fourth, he is mis-
understood, an emotional African
with a devoted following in South
Katanga akin to that Of a tribal
chief.
In and out OF Jail. the man
whom Dag Hammarskjold was
planning to meet when killed in
a plane crash. the man who
battled U. N. efforts TO force his
mineral rich land into the Congo's
central government-that is Noise
Tshombe.
Because Katanga really is the
key TO the Congo's economy (two-
thirds Of the regions revenues
come from Katanga), the idea OF
splitting away and going 1t alone
has appeal TO Mr.. Tshombe. And
he is not an easy man for other
Africans 10 deal with.
Among his enemies are many in
East Katanga, a separate province
created in q new law last Tuesday
by the Congolese Parliament. The
law also wipes out South Katanga.
Incorporating II in East Katanga.
When the bill is signed by Pres
ident Joseph Kasavubu, Mr..
Tshombe will lose his Job and must
face new election in the new
province. Observers doubt he can
win.
In his departure, the West will
lose a figure II had viewed with
mixed emotions. He was considered
safe against communism, but
tricky and cunning, q man who

House Passage

The chance for House passage
of the legislation has been con-
sidered good. It is the Senate
where the trouble will arise. And
it was in the Senate where it did
arise first. Senator Russell, Dem
ocrat of Georgia, the most articu-
late and adroit Of the South's
traditional in-fighters in racial
matters, led. He chose a speech
on the Senate floor as his vehicle.
He selected the long-range ap-
proach as the proper tactic. He
spoke of a Supreme Court deci-
sion of 1888 invalidating an 1875
public accommodations act passed
by Congress in the days Of the
reconstruction. The court ruled,
he said, that "the Federal Gov
eminent has no power to impose
any such restriction on the use
and enjoyment of private prop
erty, even If 1t was in part dedi-
Gated to public use."
Disposing thus Of the contro-
versial public accommodations
phase of the civil rights legisla-
ton, Senator Russell took the OPP
portunity to accuse President
Kennedy of abetting civil rights
demonstrators and to express his
opposition to the program gen.
orally.
He was followed Immediately by
Senator Thurmond, Democrat Of
South Carolina, who served notice
that he would block by a single
objection the hearings that had
been announced by the Senate
Commerce Committee on the
public accommodations part Of
the program. 1t was the first open
obstruction of the Southern fac
ton and it worked since the COM
mittee was foiled in its efforts to
hold hearings on the accommo-
dations issue as q separate bill, a
maneuver undertaken to separate
1t from the House Judiciary Com
mittee, where rights bills have
languished in the past.

THE NATIONAL SCENE
The First Hurdles
For Rights Bills

chitects Of the entire race solu-
tons of '63, defended the ideas in
the bill. But what was more
noticeable was his attitude of
reasonableness, a willingness to
accept change If necessary. He
said he realized that the public
accommodations section presented
more problems than any other
since it got into the realm of pri-
vate property versus public rights
and that 1t also had the COM
plicating factor of the Supreme
Courts decision as cited by Sem
ator Russell. He said he thought
1t was desirable for Congress to
achieve the ends the bill sought
under the congressional power to
regulate interstate commerce but
that If that seemed impossible he
would favor trying it under the
equal protection clause of the
Fourteenth Amendment. And
what was most important toward
achieving passage Of the bill, he
would be willing to work with the
committee on some wording to
exempt small establishments.
Criticism Of the legislation as
working a hardship on the small
shop or inn keeper has been con-
siderable. How the exemptions
would be worked out remained
unsaid. 1t was a little early; the
talking and trading was just be-
ginning. Mr.. Kennedy did say that
he'd be doubtful of trying to work
out the exemptions on a dollar
basis: ITO say that If you run a
small establishment you may dis
criminate but If you run a large
establishment you may not didn't
make a great deal of sense to U.S."

The Mystery

The mystery deepened yesterday
as other Red officials arrived.
There were Poland's Gomulka,
Hungary's Kadar, Zhivkov Of Bull
garia and Antonin Novotny Of
Czechoslovakia. 1t seemed quite a
birthday party.
The most likely explanation lay
in forthcoming talks Friday in
Moscow between Soviets and Chi
nese to air their theological differ
ences. Western diplomats sug-
gested the East European satel-
lites were being lined up behind
Kremlin policy. not only to
strengthen Russia's arguments
with Picking but for better rela-
tions with the West.
Moscow's tone toward the allies
lately has been conciliatory. 1t

diplomatic channels TO the United
States that II will 90 along with

assailing the party leadership Of
Premier Khrushchev.
This demand Of the Soviet
Government is unreasonable and
it's excuse untenable," a Chinese
foreign ministry spokesman de-
clared, adding that such docu-
ments have been distributed all
along without trouble.
Embarrassed by the whole busi-
ness, the Russians had obviously
tried to keep the matter quiet.
But the timing of the Chinese an
nouncement intrigued Westerners.
THE Chinese could have kept
the matter quiet" said one in
Moscow. "It's beginning to look
as If they didn't really want to

ORIGINAL Idea

When the Trip was originally
announced it was with the idea
that the Western worlds alliances
needed the cohesive effect that q
personal visit would provide.
Then came some changes: Chan
cellor Adenauer's departure from
office was decided upon, the days
of Prime Minister Macmillan In
England became more in doubt,
and in Italy the new, patchwork
government of Premier Leone was
already tottering from attacks by
leftists. It would be q tour Of
lame ducks.
But Mr.. Kennedy decided to go
anyway. He adhered to the idea
that the Western solidarity could
stand both inspection and rally
ing. This summer, he said, in a
speech when he landed in Ger
many, is a time Of change.
Whatever Mr.. Kennedy's mo-
tives, q by-product was the re-
emergence of United States foreign
policy as our No. / concern. At q
time when domestic racial ten
sion stood at a postwar peak. it
swung public attention to the
larger problem of the Atlantic
alliance against communism, on
the headache of dealing with Gen.
de Gaulle, on the need for unity
in Europe.
The President even took time
out, during a sentimental journey
Thursday and Friday through the
Ireland of his ancestors, to praise
the nation as an ideal to small
suppressed countries east Of the
Iron Curtain.
Those who suffer beyond that
wall I saw on Wednesday in Berlin
must not despair Of the future"
he declared to the Irish Parlia-
ment.
