CHICAGO, Jan. 18.-Protes-
tant, Catholic and Jewish dele
gates closed the first trifaith-
sponsored National Conference
on Religion and Race by de-
claring "racism is our mo-.
serious domestic evil" and call
ing for its eradication with all
diligence and speed"
The nearly TOO representa-
tives Of the three faiths adopted
an Appeal to the Conscience
of the American People to do
away with racial discrimina-
ton while there is still time"
The statement, read by Msgr.
Daniel M. Cantwell of the
Catholic Interracial Council Of
Chicago, climaxed four days of
intensive study and discussion
on segregation. Sessions were
held in the Edgewater Beach
Hotel with DR.. Benjamin Mays,
president of Morehouse College,
as conference chairman.
Asserting the problem has
deep roots" the message
pointed out that despite the
Declaration of Independence,
the Emancipation Proclama-
ton and Supreme Court deci-
Sions, patterns of segregation
remain entrenched everywhere.
The spirit and the letter Of our
laws are Knocked and violated"
The document charged that
Americans "of all religious
faiths have been slow to recog-
nize that racial discrimination
and segregation are an insult
to God" and claimed they per-
petuated these conditions "in
civil, political, industrial, social
and private life" as we'll as in

common sweetness and uncom-
mon purity, with a certain lack
of color to it which is covered
at most times by his capacity
to express the text he sings
with great sensitivity.
This effect was especially
noticeable in the Liederheis
cycle. He took advantage of
the small size Of the room to
cast the entire cycle within a
small dynamic range, and it
went very well. Later he had
a chance to expand himself in

Khrushchev Views NucIeur War

"At present, according to
the estima ties by foreign
scientists and military ex-
perts, the United States has
roughly 10000 nuclear bombs
and warheads. Everyone
knows that the Soviet Union,
too, has more than enough of
this stuff.
What would happen II all
that nuclear armament were
dropped on human heads? AS
the result of the first blow
alone, 100000 million people
would have persisted. All the
big cities would be wiped
out or destroyed, not only
in the two leading nuclear
states-the United States and
the Soviet Union-but also
in France, Britain, Germany,
Italy, China, Japan and
many other countries Of the
world. -.
II am not saying these
things to brighten anyone.
I am simply quoting data at
the disposal Of science. -.
THE Soviet Union.
knows well the potentialities
of these arms. We have
created them for the defense
of our country and Of other
Socialist countries. For that
reason we have a responsible
attitude in the matter Of
war and peace. We do not
want war. But we do not fear
it. If war is forced upon us,
we shall be able to give a
resolute rebuff to the ag-
gressors, and the aggresSors
know it,"
So it's Mr.. Khrushchev
now who relies on the deter
rent power of massive re-
taliation." The world at last
has convincing testimony
that a nuclear stalemate has
been achieved. This has come
about largely through the
growth of American military
power. Certainly this hasn't
all happened during the two
years of the present admins
tration, but is the result of
the build-up of nuclear weap-
ons in general and of missiles
in particular during the Ell
senhower administration.

AS the second event in its
1928 Membership Concert
Series, the Corcoran Gallery
last night presented the accom-
plished Vienna Octet in an all
Mozart program.
The large audience on hand
was treated to a display OF
warm rather than cool Mozart
-as a matter of fact, consid-
erably warmer and more ro-
mantle than we customarily
enjoy in this country.
The evening began with an
exceptionally romantic reading
OF Zine Kleine. NachtmuSik,"
ultrafamiliar as a piece for
string orchestra. but quite in
frequently performed by five
solo instruments. 1t continued
with the marvellous Clarinet
Quintet, and concluded with
the B flat Divertimento, as lus-
cious an entertainment as Mo-
cart ever devised.
I must confess that the Oc-
tets full-blooded and very free
Mozart was not very much to
my personal taste, particularly
since some of the usually de-
pendable members Of the
group, all of whom are first
rate instrumentalists. seemed
to be having a particularly
rough time of 1t.
Much Of the burden Of the
concert fell squarely on the
shoulders of the first violinist,
Anton Fietz, who unfortunately
was having something Of an
off-night. Throughout the
evening, he experienced inter-
mittent trouble with his in
tonation, and a bad pitch is
death in Mozart's chamber
music.
The A major Quintet was
the most rewarding work pre-
sented, thanks in large part TO
the velvety clarinet Of Alfred
Boskovsky, who was in excel
lent form.
After the intermission. Mr.
Fietz once again dominated
proceedings to an unwonted
degree. The balance Of the
Divertimento was very curious
Rudolf Hanzl's skilled bas-
soon was completely inaudible
from where / sat. Furthermore
hornist Ernst Muhlbacher was
having an even worse night
than the first violinist, pro-
ducing from his cranky instru-
ment what can be described
as a large assortment Of polite
semi-suppressed little bloopers
From these remarks, the
Adagio movement, which wal
quite beautifully handled
must be excepted.

Democratic Senate Leader
Mansfield is carrying his CO.
operation with Republican
Leader Dirksen and conserva-
tive Southerners to the point
where it is putting a strain
on his relations with influ-
entail Democratic colleagues.
Notably, Senator Mansfield
has so far rejected the pleas,
of those who fight the good
fight for President Ken
nedy's foreign policy, that he
leave the Foreign Relations
Committee ratio unchanged
at IL to 6.
Foreign Relations Chair
man Fulbright put in writing
the many reasons he con-
sidered compelling for giving
Republicans a substantial
voice in the formulation Of
foreign policy legislation. 1t
has been the classic G.. o. P.
complaint that 1t was
brought in on the crash land
ings but never at take-off.
Senator Fulbright's view is
that the keystone of true BIZ
partisanship in foreign policy
should always be a decent
sharing of information and
responsibility by majority
and minority, whatever the
current imbalance in party
representation. This is right
in itself, he argued, as we'll

dent.
Whip Humphrey, the pull
ler-out-in-chief of Kennedy
cheStnuts, shares Senator Full
bright's view and believed
it had prevailed. He had to
learn from a Republican
that Senator Mansfield was
maneuvering in a different
direction.
Senator Mansfield is trying,
it is said, to keep room on the
Banking and Currency Com
mittee for Senator Dirksen
and make room for the
Southern conservative,

rines under the seas. The
question arises whether 1t is
safe for the United States to
discard her intercontinental
bombers which can fire such
missiles as the Skybolt from
the air at points 1000 miles
away from Soviet territory.
Indeed, the overseas bases
might be destroyed by So
Wet missiles or bombers, or
they might someday be with
drawn from our use in Eu-
rope, where communism could
conceivably Illustrate nation
al policy. This possibility is
illustrated by the difficulties
nowadays in trying to get
agreement on a NATO for
mula for handling nuclear
weapons.
It is worth while there
fore, to examine carefully the
exact wording Of the Khru-
shchev speech, an excerpt
from which follows:
IT will tell you a secret:
Our scientists have worked
out 100-megaton bomb. But
according to our scientists
calculations, a l00-megaton
bomb must not be used in
Europe.
should our probable
enemy unleash war, then
where should we drop it
over West Germany or
France? But the explosion Of
such a bomb over this terri
tory would affect you and
several other countries.
Therefore, we can use such a
weapon only outside the con-
fines Of Europe, I am saying
this in order that there should
be a more realistic apprecia-
ton Of what horrifying means
Of destruction there exist. E. . q.
Comrades, to put it in a
nutshell, as have already
said during the session Of
the Supreme Soviet of the
U.S.S.R., it is not advisable
to be in a hurry for the other
world. Nobody ever returned
from there to report that one
lives better there than
here. -.

The biggest piece Of news
In a long time-and by far
the most reassuring to the
American people-has just
come in the form of a speech
by Premier Khrushchev to
the convention Of the Com
munist Party in East Ger
many.
For If there were any doubt
that the Cuban maneuver
was a hoax and that a
major war, with nuclear
bombs or missiles, has been
and is farthest from the in
tentions Of the Soviet Union.
this now can be removed by
examining the words of the
Soviet Premier. In that
speech, Mr.. Khrushchev
acknowledged for the first
time that the United States
has at least 10000 nuclear
bombs and warheads, and
that the Soviet Union would
not risk the unleashing of
such power.
The American Government
has never revealed the figures
officially, but the fact that
Mr.. Khrushchev knows them
is in itself significant of the
way the world is veering to-
ward an era Of peace. This
doesn't mean that the Sow
cts, if they ever built up their
strength to equal ours,
wouldn't start bullying and
threatening again. 1t does
mean that America must
maintain her military lead,
no matter what it costs. 1t
also means that serious con-
sideration should be given to
q revival of the so-called
Skybolt program as a matter
Of the greatest precaution in
volving the Nations safety.
For President Kennedy is
putting his reliance on mis-
siles fired from this country
and on bombers that will be
based in Western Europe. In
addition, he is counting on
the Polaris missiles, which
would be directed toward the
Soviet Union from subma-

LONDON. - An American
wife has helped win a re-
sounding victory over the
British which, in effect, re-
suited in a change in the
constitution.
Yes, we know there is no
written British constitution,
but it is therein history,
tradition, inheritance and
custom.
The fight had a simple
basiS-the right Of a man
and wife to be themselves.
For this, Anthony Wedge
wood Benn and his attractive
young wife from Cincinnati,
Ohio, have had a battle on
their hands for ten cam
paigning years.
He was the duly-elected
Member of Parliament for
South East Bristol. That was
what the electors of that
historic seaport had voted
Or, in and since 1850. But
nth the death, in 1858, Of
his father, Lord Stansgate,
Mr.. Wedgewood Benn, the
next of kin, became the
holder Of the title, with a

That chamber is for COM

ever since Britain had a two
chamber legislature. But MIR.
WedgeWood Benn didn't wish
to transfer to the other
House. He wanted to stay
in the House of Commons
to represent and work for
the people Of Bristol who
had sent him there.
On the 2nd of February,
1858, the first move was
made. A bill was introduced
into Parliament to change
the law. From the visitors
gallery in the Commons,
Caroline de Camp Wedge

eminent opposition to the
measure, saw the bill de-
