the tactics Of their own or
CARNATIONS which produce
bad feeling between the races.
:. But as long as politicians
among Negroes as well as
whites feel there is gain for
them in exploiting racial con-
troversies, the campaign Of
agitation win continue to in
tensify and to increase ILL
feeling. :"
The Thanksgiving Day ex-
plosion was an example of
non-recognition Of the phi
losophy expressed by Mr.. Law
renee. This outbreak of ami
mostly must be viewed from
two angles; that of school
discipline and that of COM
munity neglect in the area Of
social adaptation. The lat
ter has been entirel. neg
lected in the public discus
sion which has followed the
MacCarthy report and the
superintendent's a analysis.
Not until both problems re-
ceive their just accent, will
mass behavior and individual
rebellion against society be
reduced.
Until the NAACP, the
Urban League, and similar
organizations take a broader
view of their responsibilities
to advancement" DIETER
ment) Of their race will this
antagonism remain as an un-
healed ulcer" The Urban
League has recently shown
such interest in their
Jimmy" project. 1t is I'M
fortunate that this will not
reach down to the pre-school
and Sabotage children. Up
to the present the programs
developed by them are cor
receive" rather than ''preven-
tive" the latter being the
only constructive approach.
1t is hoped that the NAACP
would also develop a program
Of constructive betterment.
Both these organizations
have a rare opportunity to
develop and sponsor programs
directly geared to social and
economic advancement of the
Negro race, with emphasis on
the acceptance of family
responsibility to the social
behavior of their children.
The above family respon-
sibility" applies equally to
the white family. If this is
not done then the teachers
in our schools must be dele
gated all the authority needed
to deal with a-social behavior
with all the methods at their
disposal including the repeal
Of the prohibition against
corporal punishment" and
authority for expulsion"

The Dropouts'

Your Feb. 20 editorial,
'"The Dropouts," fascinated
me for its manifestation of
almost unbelievable ig-
norance on the true nature
Of the problem at hand. I
have never heard anyone say
that society is solely to blame
for our high number of drop
outs, or that teen-agers and
their parents are no longer
responsible for anything.
What ] have heard is that in
our understandable desire to
find quick and simple solu-
tons to the problem, we
should be careful not to ig-
more the significant social
factors involved. It is no an
swer to the problem to say,
simply. that the student and
his parents are the ones ini-
TALLY to blame for not taking
advantage Of existing educa-
tional opportunities, and then
to glibly suggest as the be-
ginning of society's solution
to the problem a continuous
effort to impress upon the
student the element of per-
sonal responsibility.
The necessity for personal
responsibility is so obvious
that it hardly needs to be
pointed out. Indeed, I have
had the distinct impression
that our schools are, in fact
doing just what you urge
them to do. Your editorial
would have made q greater
contribution if it had i'm
pressed the absolute need
for equal economic opportu-
mites and for the creation of
an environment in which
students from minority"
groups are able to feel that
upon graduation they will be
accorded the same dignity
and position in society as is
accorded to all others. You
must certainly be aware that
without such motivating
forces, an individual can
h a We no hope of genuine
progress. and that without
such hope there can be no
ambition. You can emphasize
to the student the need for
personal initiative until you
are blue in the face and your
words viii have no effect If
the student. in his relations
with the rest Of society, has
not acquired in his experience
any particular reason for re-
spending to your words. There
must be some substance in
his experience from which
the sparks of ambition can
be drawn. Without it, the
teachers task becomes i'm
possible. Ambition is not &C
quired by the student in q
vacuum; and he will certain
ly not acquire it simply be-
cause you tell him to. About
all that you win accomplish
this way will be to have put
yourself in a position to be
able to later say, with per-
haps a lack Of smugness, II
told you So"

Stain and Mr.. K


Your editorial, Stain and
Mr.. K" belabors the Soviet
Premier for warning Soviet
painters. poets, novelists. etc..
that de Stalinization has
limits" and should not be
interpreted as allowing any
aping of bourgeois standards.
You quote Mr.. Khrushchev
as saying that Soviet artists
must rededicate themselves
to Socialist realism, and show
answering obedience to the
party line"
According to the Christian
Science Monitor Jan. 81,
1859 Tito, Communist Pres
ident Of Yugoslavia, on
January % at the Con-
gress Of Yugoslav Youth
"railed at barren intellectuals
in literature, painting, and
films who are not on earth
but floating somewhere in
the air." He complained that
Yugoslav painters plunged
into abstractionism instead
Of painting realistically. He
also said that measures"
would have to be taken. Mr..
Tito crowned his Stalinist
statements in a February 6
speech to the Yugoslav jour-
nalists, saying: Abstraction
ism prevails in Yugoslav
painting. Realists are pushed
aside, awards are given
mostly to abstract painters
whose school APP
parently consists of those
who are not able to create
a work of art. They think
that by making a big blot
on the canvas they will hide
their ignorance and present
1t as great art" Tito added
that II abstractionists want
to paint that way, they will
have TO do 1t at their own
risk. and can no longer ex-
pect lucrative commissions
unless they paint realistic
ally"
/ have not found either Of
Tito's speeches commented
on anywhere In The Star. Do
you agree that the conclu-
sions Of your editorial about
Mr.. Khrushchev also apply
to Tito, and that Tito
apparently has no intention
Of letting any Yugoslav. no
matter how intellectual, run
counter TO whatever the party
line may be at any given mo-
ment2" And that Ito that ex-
tent at least, Stalinism-the
tough brand of Red totali-
tartan regimentation--is by
no means dead" in Yugo-
slavia2
And II you do agree, do
you still support American
development aid to Yugo-
slavia, as you did in the past,
and the resumption of the
most-favored nation clause
(Which Congress denied last
fall as you did recently2

Veronica Lake Can Be Choosy
By WARD MOREHOUSE

NEW YORK. - Veronica
Lake left Hollywood in 1851

briefly to pick up a divorce.
She got out, she says, because
Il wanted to be a human

were wrong"
Veronica was a one-of-a-
kind picture star of the 194Os.
Small, slender, definitely
nonvoluptuous, she did not
fit the Hollywood mold. Yet
something-her insouciant air,
perhaps, or her seductive
voice, or the cornsilk lock
falling across the right eye
melted a warm response. And
so the public made her a star.
