A strange phenomenon in
world history energies in the
almost universal tributes be-
ing paid today on the passing
Of q Pope at Rome. Prayers
in churches Of all religions in
Europe and elsewhere signify
not merely the reverence Of
Roman Catholics but the
eminence which a spiritual
leader can attain in a world
where political controversy
so often ignores the ethical
teachings Of religion.
Popes have come and gone
during the centuries, but few
in recent decades have man
aged to win the respect and
esteem which Pope John
XIII achieved by reason of
his penetrating judgment
and keen understanding of
the currents Of public opinion
and the conflicting philoso-
phies Of an age In which
nuclear war stands as a con-
slant threat Of self-destruc-
ton.
In America, where the
Constitution forbids the en-
actment Of any law respect
ing an establishment Of re-
ligion" by government, there
have been fluctuations In the
power and influence Of in
dividual churches and much
controversy Of late even over
the extent to which prayers
shall be allowed in public
schools. though no restric-
tons are invoked as yet in
public legislatures and on
occasions OF governmental
ceremonies Of various kinds.
Prejudices as between re-
ligious denominations UNI
fortunately even reached the
point where this became an
issue In the last presidential
campaign.
Yet. in the face Of all the
arguments Of the past about
the place Of the Roman
Catholic church in the po-
litical. economic or spiritual
life Of America, the utter

UnreoIity of Proposal for 81 Nations

Political silly seasons are
not confined to North Amer

grandizer is hard. as Kwame
Nkrumah Of Africa, like
Charles de Gaulle Of Europe,
is discovering.
The quality Of political
common sense is not promis-
cuously distributed In the

of sheer lack of experience.
but the majority Of their
prime and foreign ministers

from a pot of gold, as they
have Just demonstrated at

nations.
They have politely told Mr..
Nkrumah to save his orator.

whatever Of a stricken con-
science over his threat that
Africa's ESQ million people
would never forgive them If
they did not unity Africa
under "a strong central gov
eminent"
1t may be argued whether
two. three or five per cent Of
that quarter-billion popula-
ton is even aware that the
meeting and argument took
place, but it is an unarguable
proposition that q politically
unified African continent is
an impoSsibility, as unargu-
able as the proposition that
Mr.. Nkrumah, himself, dwells
in q never-never land of
paranoid fantasies more com.
pletely than his Western de-
tractors supposed.
A love Of steaming hot ora
tory has been q common
characteristic of African poll
ticians; with them, the word
spoken was the deed done.
How much Of this came from
a background Of belief In
magic and how much from
the simple fact that they had
never held practical political
power would be hard to say;
in any case, this psychic con-
dition is altering as more Of
them struggle with the stub
born facts Of governance. II

Universal tributes to Pope John

phere Of disillusion and dis
couragement.
1t may be argued for q long
time whether the example Of
tolerance that Pope John
XIII endeavored to impress
upon the Communists caused
some Italians in italy to vote
for the Communist Party in
the recent election there be-
cause they mistook tolerance
Of communism for a supposed
acquiescence In It's pernicious
demands. But the Pope's
move will some day be re-
garded as q step in the direc-
ton Of better contact and
closer communication be-
tween those who live inside
the Communist countries and
those who are trying from
the outside to keep alive the
spirit of human courage
among the oppressed peoples.
Pope John eased the way
for a better understanding
Of rules and discipline among
Catholic worshippers and re-
ceived praise for revisions he
proclaimed as in line with
changing times.
But what truly impressed
hundreds of millions of peo-
pie everywhere was the ire
mendous impetus the Pope
gave to moral force In lieu
of military force. He influ-
enced, by his utterances. not
only the Roman Catholics Of
the world = particularly in
the Latin countries where
the population is predomi-
nantly Of that faith - but
also those Of us in this and
other lands who are not
m e m bers Of the Roman
Catholic Church, yet who
admire its steadfast pressure
for q society Of better morals
and for q world Of reason.
For these are times when, in
an. instant. a trigger can send
nuclear missiles through the
air to inflict destruction on
peoples, irrespective Of their
religions or their faiths.
Pope John has not relin-
pushed his spiritual throne
the voice Of q great man
never dies.

AirIiner Held Too Vital for US. to Ignore
And Too Big for Private Firms

estimated at $50 million. The
challenge Of using private
funds to perfect . new plane,
built Of steel and titanium
instead Of aluminium, holds
little attraction.
The airlines still are Inn
pressed by their capacity to
fly from New York to Los
Angeles in five hours and
only family stimulated by
the possibility Of cutting this
time to an hour and fifty
minutes. Some feel that the
81 billion necessary to build
the supersonic transports
could be better spent to I'M
prove existing service with
all-weather flying, low-ceil-
ing landings, and faster
ground transportation be-
tween airports and urban
centers. Most Of the present
jets win have TO be replaced
by 1871 and the airlines will
buy the best planes available
then but there are only scat
tered signs Of q burning ap-
petite for the SST.
The issue Of public con-
venience is not overriding.
Only about IL per cent Of
the adult population flies at
all in commercial aircraft
and only about two per cent
flies regularly. The interests
Of the general public can be
more broadly served by con-
centration upon the technol-
ogy Of moving between homes
in the suburbs and offices in
the city, q problem which
has already inspired pro-
posals for Federal assistance.
But Just as national pres
tige was the spur in the de-
cision TO race TO the moon,
the hard facts Of internal
tional life dictate now that
the SST be undertaken. Rus
STA may be flying q super
sonic transport, adapted from
her bombers. by the end Of
1865 and Great Britain and
France, In q rare instance OF
collaboration, are working

The Federal Government Is
preparing to nurture the de-
velopment Of supersonic air
travel in the same spirit in
which the State Of New York
undertook. lac years ago, to
build the Erie Canal. Each
project was found in its time
to be too large for private
enterprise and too important
to be left undone.
AS Congress debates the
wisdom Of q two-man trip
to the moon, the administra-
ton Is moving quietly to-
ward o decision that will en-
able q broader segment Of
the population to fly about
the earth at speeds up to
2,l00 miles per hour.
The decision Is an expen-
sive one and 1t has required
a vexing scrutiny Of the great
contemporary question Of
whether 1t is necessary to do
something merely because
science has made It TECH
nologically possible. once
again an affirmative response
Is being forced by the compe-
tition between nations for
prestige and hard currencies.
It Is significant that the
supersonic era is being
tackled, In the United States
and Europe as well as Russia,
by official decisions that have
been made for national rea-
sons and win be backed by
government money.
The private airlines which
viii fly these planes in the
early i970s and the manufac-
turers who will build them
have been minor and even
passive factors in the de-
cision. The manufacturers

The Dead PontifFs Appeal to Members
OF All Religions Called Unusual

ances Of Pope John XIII
have received wide acclaim
from all sections Of the press
In this country and even
from many church leaders
irrespective Of denomination.
Prayers for Pope John we're
offered last Sunday by many
congregations in Protestant
and Jewish as well as Cath
ole churches around the
world.
Long after the reign Of
Pope John has passed into
history, IL will be wondered
just what was the secret of
this Pope's popularity. Was
1t because he made signifi-
cant moves toward bringing
about greater unity among
the sects Of Christianity?
Was 1t because he showed q
tolerance toward believers In
communism, though reject
ing their destructive aims?
Was 1t because he revealed
no hostility toward Worship
ers In all other relationship
deed, held out the open hand
Of friendships that the
world came to recognize him
as q holy man who truly
practiced the doctrine Of
brotherly love, which so
many leaders preach but do
not always apply in the per-
picking controversies Of the
hour?
Those persons who are ex-
pert in the nuances and
strategies Of modern diplom-
acy may see In Pope Johns
friendly references to the
Communists a simple means
Of winning for the many mil
lions Of Catholics still behind
the Iron Curtain some Of the
same tolerance by the Com
munists which His Holiness
himself showed toward them.
After all, II the spirit Of re-
ligion Is to be maintained in
side the satellite countries, it
Is there that Christians re-
quire help to keep their faith

Forced Into Supersonic Travel

together on the Concorde, an
aluminium plane expected to
fly at $500 miles per hour.
The initial investment by the
two countries Is slightly under
$500 million and the plane
Is to be operational between
1858 and 1870.
More than prestige is at
stake. Once the Concorde Is
on the market, the American
carriers who compete on the
International air routes will
be faced with the option Of
buying it or losing their
competitive position. The
planes viii cost close to $40
million each and their I'M
portation In quantity would
hold the threat Of a severe
drain on the gold reserve.
The dollar balance Is likely
to remain q pressing ma
tional problem and the drain
Of the initial purchases
would be augmented by the
subsequent need for spare
parts.
The present lets are an
export item for the United
States and the loss Of the
foreign as well as the do
nestle markets would con-
stitute an industrial setback
with an impressive toll In
unemployment. Some esti-
mate that the cost Of q fail
ure to participate In pro-
ducing supersonic transports
would be 10000 jobs.
Against these factors and
after two years Of intensive
study, q consensus Of support
for the SST has emerged at
the top level Of Government.
And as the officials prepare
for the seven-year develop
ment Of q plane to fly at
three times the speed Of
sound. they know that their
successors in another 10
years viii be obliged to con-
template q plane that will
fly at eight times the speed
Of sound. BY the relentless
law Of progress, the super
sonic era viii be only the
prelude to the hypersonic era.

Nkrumoh's Union Now a Dream

The psychology Of political
power is the same In Africa
as anywhere else. It is hard
enough to diminish the scope
and authority Of any govern
ment bureau, let alone a SOW
ereign government, in the
name Of a larger whole. No
African prime minister could
tolerate diminution Of his
own power; II Mr.. Nkrumah
is the exception 1t can only
be because he sees himself,
in his dreams. as leader Of
the union" as prime among
all prime ministers.
But there is much that
can be done to arrest the
Balkanization Of Africa,
which has gone far enough.
Regional groupings for speci-
fled. limited purposes ought
to be and perhaps can be
brought about. There ought
to be customs unions, COM
mon currencies. common visa
procedures. common rules,
standards Of education,
ground rules for private in
vestments, mutually in the
promotion Of airlines, high
ways. river traffic and cleo.
trio power; intellectual and
cultural exchanges of all
kinds can be encouraged.
Sooner or later, most en-
battled Africans will have to
settle down to the prosaic
and onerous business of
daily living under self-rule,
and the rest Of the world
will regard Africa through
clearer lenses. 1t will see
that this is not going to be

er centers. Africa Is simply.

DORIS FLEEsoN

Pope John XIII was the
friend Of man. and few have
more occasion to be grateful
TO him than President Ken
nedy.
Americans like TO believe
that they won the battle OF
bigotry and prejudice with
the election Of their first
Catholic president. II was
closer than they now think
and much harder than they
choose TO remember. Negro
unrest is reminding them also
OF how far they have to 60.
In his person and in his
announcements, John XIII
came TO symbolic the fresh
air he wanted TO let into his
church. Without abandoning
its dogmas or It's claims. he
presented a vivid picture OF
tolerance In the search for
truth, for peace and even for
coexistence. Few politicians
can claim so much sheer
courage.
All this was OF inestimable
help 10 the President. What
ever his other problems,
whatever other ground
seemed 10 sink beneath his
rect. the President was never
confronted by the Vatican
with dilemmas. The Pope's
ameliorating influence spread
over the clergy OF all faiths
and that, too, was helpful.
II was already beginning
TO be said even before the
last painful week end that
the Presidents reason for
visiting Italy had vanished.

is not surprising that the
chief exponent Of realism at
Adds Ahaba was the Prime
Minister Of Nigeria, Sir
Abubakar Tafawa Balewa.
He is q Moslem from the
northern region Of Nigeria
where, under the indirect
rule" system to which the
British consigned that area
some so years ago, strong
and able men like Sir Abu-
bakar continued unbroken
the art and tradition Of gov
erning their own people.
They did not come fresh and
starry-eyed to self-rule, like
the Nkrumahs; in q real
degree they had had 1t all the
time.
The threads Of unity that
cross African national from
tiers are emotional in nature,
the remnants Of the common
desire to see the end Of
European rule. This is unity
against something and there
is still something to be
against since areas Of Euro
pean rule remain. But 1t Is
not unity for something, as
is the feeling and the effort
in Europe, for example.
The new African states are
a long. long way from the
coalescing stage Of their his
tory. Indeed. it is probably
true that they are approach
ing the fragmenting stage.
The potential tribal and ter

tant international disputes
