We were not aware that Attorney
General Robert F. Kennedy was friend
Of Mrs. Murphy. But you never can tell.
The Irish get around and they can spot
one another as far as the eye can see.
Mrs. Murphy got into this picture in
the course of the Attorney Generals
testimony before House committee in
support Of the public accommodations
section Of the Presidents civil rights
package. Mr.. Kennedy said he was not
taking an all-or-nothing position, and
that 1t would be all right with him If
Congress wanted to exclude "mom-and-
pop stores" and MRS. Murphy's three
room boarding house." Actually, this
is in line with what the President said
In his message. And, as matter Of fact,
the Attorney General had no choice.
We do not share the view, expressed
in some quarters, that there is no justi-
fication for exempting small establish
mentS-that what is right for Conrad
Hilton, say, is also right for Mrs.
Murphy. It seems to us that a legiti-
mate argument for private property.
rights can be made with regard to the
small boarding house or family road
side restaurant, an argument which
rings hollow when applied to relatively
big business.
1t is little early in the day to be
trying to define and spell out the COM
promises which will have to be made
If there is to be any civil rights legisla-
ton at this session of Congress. They
may have to go beyond Mrs. Murphy's
boarding house. But certainly compro-
misses will have to be made. The Attor-
ney General knows this and he is being
sensible IN saying that he knows 1t.
Whether there has been IDEAL" to
drop the public accommod ations section
of the bill Is In an area Of large uncer-
tainty. When Republican Representa-
tive Lindsay of New York raised this
question the Attorney General holly re-
torted: II don't think the President or I
have to defend our good faith to you or
anyone else" This is a response which
doesn't say no and doesn't say yes.
1t is quite clear, however, that the
administration must have generous
Republican support in the Senate If it
becomes necessary to break filibuster
against the bill. And the Republican
leadership has made 1t clear that 1t will
not buy the public accommodations Sec
ton as submitted by the President. So,
call it what you will, deal or compro-
mise, something has to give II a law is
to be enacted. The Attorney General is
realistic enough to understand this, and
he should not be pounded on the head
because he does understand 1t.

Rights Fight Rules

It looks like we've got a
long, hot, humid summer
coming UP. It's not exactly
the right atmosphere in
which to fight the civil
rights issue but as long as
we've got to do II. We might
as well sit down and see what
we're going to fight about
and review the Marquis Of
Queensbury rules. It may
save q few drops Of blood.
All Of us know what the
Issues are. The President has
wrapped them UP in one
package and tossed the whole
ball Of wax TO Congress. SO
let's unite the gift wrapping
and see what we've got.
First. there's the request
for legislation banning racial
discrimination in public
places. But Congress has al
ready taken action on this
one. II passed the civil
Rights Act OF 1875 which was
declared unconstitutional in
the Hall VS. Occur case In
1888.
Secondly. there's the re-
quest TO strengthen Govern
ment authority In dealing
with degeneration In schools.
But the Government already
has plenty OF strength. II
Just flexed It's muscles In the
Ole Miss case and blew the
whole State Of Mississippi
down.
The next item is the plea
10 provide equal employment
opportunities for Negroes.
But Congress has already
given full approval TO the

started, on pain of losing their allow
ance money.
But meanwhile the whole idea Is
backfiring. The others attending the
World Women's Congress want peace
and, If necessary, they'll scratch eyes
and pull hair to prove It, A heroine
in absentia is Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy.
Sneered at by the Chinese as a symbol
of peaceful coexistence, Mrs. Kennedy
was defended by Spanish delegate,
who said; I'VE want to come to terms
with Mrs. Kennedy, too, If she is ready
to help defend her children from the
danger Of nuclear war"
And, in the cheers and applause
which followed, echoed the real hope
for peace today.

Civil Service Merit System.
Next comes the request for
legislation to give Negroes
protection when exercising
their right to vote, provided
they have the mentality Of a
sixth grade student. But
every State in the Union al
ready recognizes this right
and each has passed laws
attempting to define sixth
grade mentality.
The next item on the
agenda is the request 10 es-
tablish a Community Rela-
tons Service TO relieve racial
tension. But we've already
got this service and Lyndon
johnson Is sweating over II
with the full approval Of
Congress. The last item Is
the request to authorize the
Federal Government TO deny
Federal assistance 10 any
activity which practices ra-
cial discrimination. But this
authority has already been
granted by Congress. II Is q
part Of every contract which
the Government Is q party

ners and come out fighting
and keep 1t clean.
In my opinion our brawl
won't end in q stalemate.
Sometime next fall the ref
cree will make a decision and
we will have taken q giant
step forward--all the way
from 1883 10 1868.

In voting registration, in the
use Of places Of public ac-
commodation privately own
ed. including hotels. motels.
shops of all kinds. filling
stations, etc. Most hotly con-
tested, It appears. win be the
section Of the bill dealing
with the use of privately
owned facilities offered to
the public, like hotels and
shops. It's opponents argue
these provisions are In VIOLA
ton Of private property
rights.
The Private Property Issue
Way back in 1883 the SUI
preme Court handed down q
decision that Congress has no \
constitutional right to enact
q law forcing q hotel to
accept guests the owner does
not wish, nor to force q pri-
vately owned store to sell to
any person its owner does not
desire. This is still "the law Of
the land" although the pres
ent court has overruled such
discrimination when ordered
by State or local laws. It Is
expected to 60 all the way
and upset the 1883 decision
later this year. In the means
time, this 1888 decision is the
base Of many Of the argu-
ments Of opponents Of the
civil rights bill.
This 1888 decision Of the
Supreme Court was in q suit
involving the anti-discrimi-
nation Fourteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution. The
Kennedy bill, however, Is
based on the commerce clause
Of the Constitution under
which Congress is authorized
to deal with interstate COM
merce. This clause has been
the basis Of much Federal
legislation. The Kennedy bill
provides that q Substantial"
amount Of goods or services
provided in privately owned
places Of public accommodate
ton must have to do with
interstate commerce - in
other words with transient
guests in motels and hotels,
and in shops, goods which
have moved in interstate
commerce, as well as purchas-
erS. Chairman Celler Of the
House Judiciary Committee,
who favors the legislation,
has suggested, In order to
make the measure operable
and practical, there should
be some kind Of q floor"
probably measured in dollar
business, placed under this
provision. It is o sensible
idea, although it might result
in discrimination am ong
business establishments. Some
Republican members Of Con-
gress insist. as does Repre-
sentative Lindsay Of New
York, that it would be simpler
and more effective to base
the legislation on the -Four.
tenth Amendment. This Is
only one Of the many contro-
versial issues that are aris-
ing in the consideration of
the civil rights bill.
Republican support for the
civil rights bill is essential
to passage. 1t Is expected, 4,
but probably not until some
revisions have been made.
The odds, however, are
strongly in favor Of q civil
rights measure.

WHAT IS UNIQUE Is the

populism that marked the
university from its beginning.
The blend is still very much
In evidence. 1t expresses It

1t is indeed refreshing to
know that ct least one ma
jor newspaper still champions
the Biblical principle that
righteousness exalteth q
nation but sin is a reproach
10 any people.
It is hard to believe that
the moral fiber Of this great
republic has become so de-
generate that the. highest
court In the land could ban
prayer and Bible reading
from the public schools with
the thunderouS applause Of
the processing church and So
called ministers Of the gospel.
Equally perplexing is the
question why prayer and
Bible reading are unconsti-
tutional when other mani
festations of, religion in
government are considered
constitutional-at least for
the moment. How can the
Supreme Court claim to
serve justice when its own
decisions are contradictory?
Piously some clerics have
suggested that prayer and
Bible reading are functions Of
the home and church and not
of the schools. Yet how many
homes in America take time
for such exercises? And the
majority of churches are so
taken up with politics, book
reviews and other non-reli-
gious activities that our gen.
Grafton and those to follow
have little opportunity Of
knowing God or the Bible.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Kennedy Firm on Civil Rights
BY GOULD LINCOLN

Attorney General Robert
+. Kennedy, In his six-hour-
long appearance before the
House Judiciary Committee,
clearly stated the need and
the justice Of the civil rights
legislation which his brother,
President Kennedy. has
asked Of Congress. He made
very clear the administration
will fight hard for these pro-
posals. At the same time, he
indicated q willingness to ac-
cept changes in the pro-
visions Of the bill as drafted
but no changes that cut
the heart out of the meas
ure. In fact. the Attorney
General gave q good account
Of himself--it was an excel
lent presentation.
In his concluding state
ment. Mr.. Kennedy ex-
pressed views which should
be given the gravest atten-
ton by the Negroes who are
demanding an end to racial
discrimination and by the
legislators whose duty 1t Is
now to act. He said: with
respect to the bill In its en-
tirety, 1t must be empha-
sized that racial discrimina-
ton is far too complex q
problem to be solved over
night. It has been with us
since long before the United
States became q nation, and
we cannot expect 1t to van
ish through the enactment
Of laws alone. But we must
launch as broad an attack on
the problem as possible, In
order to achieve q solution
as soon as possible. The
demonstrations Of the past
few months have only served
to point up what thinking
Americans have known for
years; that this country can
no longer abide the moral
outrage Of racial discrimina-
ton"
Demonstration Threat
All Of this is true. The
President and the Attorney
Generals the latter again
showed in his appearance be-
fore the House committee
have spoken out strongly In
opposition to mass demon

Capitol as proposed by some
Of the Negro leaders in the
event this legislation is de-

Such demonstrations would
be to intimidate Congress-to

islation. The President and
the Attorney General have
tried to make these Negro
leaders understand that such
procedure will only initiate
against the cause. Further,
while the administration did
nothing to discourage these
demonstrations against State
laws, but rather encouraged
them. such demonstrations in
and about the Capitol, II at
tempted, would be in violation
Of Federal laws governing the
Capitol and its grounds,
which have nothing to do

achieved success, were incapable Of
enjoying it. My own observations for
over decade are that at the top of the
success ladder some people find them
selves with more than enough money
to satisfy all material desires, but with
neither creative drive nor the capacity
for deep human relationships nor any
meaningful goal to give significance to
their lives.
When not working - and often
even when they are - these people are
basically bored. Hence the constant
quest for an Opiate. This same kind of
immaturity can also lead to divorce.
John Arnold Linden, Md, a Los
Angeles psychOanalyst, explains that
the person who achieves success over
night tends to feel guilty about the
good things which have come too fast,
without time for adjustment. Con-
versely, the success of one partner can
arouse unconscious feelings of guilt in
the other, who may feel he does not
deserve to share in the success.
Zone of the ways people keep their
equilibrium is through mental book
keeping" DIR. Linden told me. Ere
quentIy when too much good happens
to people they tend to balance the
books II to act out their feelings of
guilt by going into mild depression or
picking fight, generally with someone
they love.
What they are really seeking is
punishment. One of the best ways to
punish oneself is to make a sacrifice,
and the biggest sacrifice many can make
is spelling their happy marriage"
OF COURSE not all marriages in which
one partner or the other attains success
are doomed to end in divorce. There
are many happy marriages the James
Cagneys, Joel McCreas, Macdonald
Careys, Robert Ryans and Dan Duryea's

After all, success is a fine thing;
we all want it and it's right to work for
it. But it doesn't bring automatic hap
