Alexandra Plans
To Name School
For Kennedy

A somber Alexandria City
Council halted its regular bust
ness Of running the city to pay
tribute last night to the late
President Kennedy and to rec
ommend the naming Of q school
for him.
Without discussion, the
council adopted separate reso-
lutions, both proposed by
Mayor Frank E. Mann, to ex-
tend the city's sympathy to Mr..
Kennedy's family and to ask
the school board to name a fu-
ture elementary school in his
honor.
President Kennedy's family
and religious life served as ian
inspiration to many in these
times Of diminishing emphasis
upon these sacred institutions, u
one resolution said.
A school should be named
the John Fitzgerald Kennedy
School, the other resolution
said, because "the youth of this
city as well as their elders
should have a perpetual symbol
of (his) fearless devotion and
tireless dedication to the cause
of democracy"
Two elementary schools, one
at Polk avenue and the other
at Dowden terrace, currently
are In the planning stages
Neither has been given q name
by the school board yet.

Terms Asked
In Fuirfux

Two countrywide groups
have joined forces TO ask the
areas State legislative delega-
ton to seek q law giving Fair

staggered four-year terms.
The proposal. a compromise
hammered out between the
County Council Of Parent
Teacher Associations and the
Federation Of Citizens Associa-
tons, is expected to be pre-
sented to the newly elected
Democratic delegation to
Richmond sometime next week,
As approved at a PTA coun-
ell meeting last night In An
Mandate, the proposal calls for
. majority-four-of school
board members to be appointed
after the election of new su-
pervisors.
Three Of the boards seven
members would be named two
years later by the supervisors.
Such legislation would pertain
only to Fairfax and would not
p involve counties with similar
forms Of government.
Before the compromise was
agreed upon, the council had
supported staggered two year
terms and the Citizens Fedora
ton had Endorsed a plan in
which the majority of school
board members would not be
named In the same year.
The tenure controversy arose
last year after wholesale dis
missal Of the county school
board by the supervisors in the
& wake of a dispute over trans
ferring school construction re-
sponsibility.
The council also decided last
night that it will vote in Jan.
uary on a resolution urging
the school board to adopt q
plan for complete desegrega-

Their Enormous Lacks Are Called Spur
To Defensiveness and Racial Pride

There is no literal catching
up. There is merely a vast
and painful striving. There
is progress, to be sure, but
let us fully understand, out
of our own human nature,
that it is not easy for the
deprived, or without, peoples
of the world to accept their
w-stage economic begin
nings while watching the al
ready prosperous nations adj
vance at a pace more rapid
than before.
1t is inevitable that the
people of such countries
should feel, and be bitter
about, their centuries Of
colonialism and the earlier
history OF enslavement. This
is precisely why there is sus-
picion and, in some areas,
hostility. 1t is this state Of
mind that causes many to
look at the Russians and to
believe their propaganda that
what Moscow has achieved
has been done in 40 years.

A journey can be pennies
in the bank of experience.
Before filing the notes of an
African journey. one reflects.
There are some $50 million
persons in Africa. In a very
real sense, they are compan-
ions in poverty of possess
sions. techniques, opportuni-
ties. jobs and education with
the dark-skinned peoples in
Asia and Latin America.
They share such unpleasant
facts of life as high percent
ages of infant and maternal
mortality, widespread illit-
eracy, enormous problems Of
public health, and economic
and political decisions which
are awesome and complex in
size and variety. Their very
lacks have given these peo-
Piles a sometimes almost ir-
rational defensiveness and a
racial pride that is the more
intense for the same reasons.
Nor Is this all. 1t has been
their destiny to begin the
processes Of nationhood and
of catching up" in a time
of incredible technical devel-
opment by the already in
duStrialized countries. The
new nations have a lag Of
from 200 to 800 years. Today
the gap actually widens.

Britoin's DecoIonizution Problem

New York to plead his cause
at the United Nations. Con-
fronted with the end of the
federation, Mr.. Field is once
more pressing Britain to
grant the colony complete
independence. But African
and Asian opinion, expressed
through the United Nations
as well as through common
wealth channels, is inSistent
on constitutional reform that
would bring Africans to pow
er before Southern Rhodesia
becomes independent.
Britain can hardly ignore
this insistence. 1t has to take
into account not only the
local situation in Southern
Rhodesia, but also the impli-
cations for Britain's relation
ship with the whole Afro
Asian world. The British
have already come under
heavy Afro-Asian fire in UN
debates on account of their
refusal to intervene in South
ern Rhodesian affairs. Asian
and African commonwealth
members. who know some
thing of the remarkable flexi-
bility of British institutions,
have rejected London's argu-
ment that established con-
vention debars it from inter-
vening here. If the British
government appears to be
failing to secure for the
Southern Rhodesian Afri-
cans the same political adj
vance that other Africans
have achieved, it will lose
untold goodwill in Africa
and Asia.
The credit for helping 700
million people to independ-
ence can be destroyed by
failure to help only three
million along the same road.
AS in the months before
South Africa left the COM
monwealth. the whole future
OF the commonwealth as a
bridge Of friendship and
understanding between the
white West and Afro-Asia
may once again be in jeo-
pardy.

Cecil Rhodes, in the hey
day Of Imperialism, dreamed
of a great British dominion
in Central Africa; dreamed,
and acted. In 1890 his
chartered company founded
Salisbury, which became the
capital of Southern Rhodesia.
In 1858 Salisbury-now a city
of white 'skyscrapers and
parking meters was ele-
waited to become the capital
of the new Central African
Federation, which embraced
both the Rhodesias and Nya-
saland. Today, the ten-year-
old federation lies under
sentence Of death.
Malawi, Gambia, Zimbabwe
are the names that loom over
the land as the name Of
Rhodes fades. The African
nationalist now dominant in
NyaSaland have revived NAL
awi Ian old name for Lake
Nyasa) and applied it both
to their party and to the
territory. Nyasaland is still
a British protectorate, still
nominally part Of the dying
federation; but its trans
formation into the sovereign
state Of Malawi is imminent.
On March 20 Britain pub
licly conceded that Northern
Rhodesia, too, could not be
kept in the federation against
its will. This was a crucial
success for the African politi-
cal leaders who had shown
their hold on the territory in
las DEFENDERS elections.
Northern Rhodesia will not
emerge as the sovereign state
of Gambia for some time yet.
The next step is constitu-
tional reform to make the
protectorate fully self-gov-
erning. But Gambia, which
embraces the rich Rhodesian
copperbelt. has a brighter
long-term future than NAL
avn. BY the same token, its
breakaway is a much more
deadly blow to the federation.
The collapse Of the feder-
alton leaves the problem of
Southern Rhodesia exposed
in its painful simplicity.

Leaders of the Right Found Concerned
At Policy Trend in Washington

Brazil is on the brink. We
assisted indirectly the over
throw of the Trujillo regime
in the Dominican Republic
only to create a left-of-cen-
ter government headed by
President Juan Bosch.
We spent millions in aid
to Leftist Sukarno in Indo-
nesia and that country is in
the Soviet orbit. Laos was
certainly not a successful
diplomatic achievement for
us, nor were many other
areas around the globe where
disaster has struck following
an opening to the left. Even
without these examples, Gu
ba should have been suf-
ficient to prove the danger
Of the policy.
What seems to be the
greatest significance to many
European leaders is that
since bare faced commu-
nism has come to Cuba and
threatens to spread like a
cancer throughout the hem
isphere, Washington seems
only to worry about Ameri-
can public opinion and Moth
ing else. And If Washington
prefers the choice of trustful
negotiations in regard to the
Soviet military might in Gu
ba, would it, perchance, pre-
fer the choice of negotiations
rather than retaliation in
the event Europe should be
threatened with the Krem-
Inns ambitions?
Latin America has become
more our first line Of defense
than Asia and Europe. And
the main reason for Europe's
skeptical evaluation of our
expressed determination to
make the NATO a strong
force, is based on our Latin
American policies. They real
ize that they have not
changed from those of Presi-
dent Eisenhower when he
stated that he had no inten-
ton of using armed inter-
