Break for Birmingham

The Alabama Supreme Court deci-
sion upholding the election of Mayor
Albert Boutwell, is the best news to come
out of Birmingham in some time.
This ruling is good news because 1t
means that, with Mayor Boutwell, safely
installed in office, there is at least a
chance that an accommodation can be
worked out between the white and Negro
communities. This would not have been
true If the court had decided the case
the other way, thereby continuing in
office the Birmingham city government
dominated by Police Commissioner Eu-
gene Bull" Connor.
Mayor Boutwell, is segregationist.
But he is also a sensible man. 1t seems
to us, however, that the essential diff
ference is that Mr.. Boutwell, can read
the handwriting on the wall. And the
handwriting says that change has got
to come to Birmingham, as everywhere
else.

An Emphatic No!

In IL previous referendums, the
wheat farmers voted for production con-
trolls and price supports. This year, in
an astonishing turnabout, the admin
istration's new wheat plan, needing the
Endorsement of two-thirds of the voting
farmers, failed to get even simple
majority.
The question is: Did the farmers
know what they were doing?
The powerful American Farm Bu-
reau led the fight against the plan. It's
campaign was keyed to two main themes.
The small wheat farmers Us acres or
leSs) had been exempt from controls
under former laws. Secretary Freeman's
plan would have imposed controls and
acreage cuts on them. So the Farm Bu-
reau's appeal to these farmers was:
Vote no in order to protect your wheat
acres from Government control. At the
same time, the big growers, faced with
the possibility of serious financial losses,
we're promised that Congress would en-
act new and less restrictive legislation
II controls were rejected.
The administration, supported by six
farm organizations, fought back hard.
Mr.. Freeman forecast drop from 50 to
81 a bushel for wheat, a $7O0 million
decline in farm income and 800 to 400
million bushels of overproduction. On
May the President told his news con-
ference he was "sure there wouldn't be
new legislation" II the plan should be
rejected. But the farmers, apparently
listening TO the Farm Bureau and not
the President, did reject 1t.
SO now the maneuvering begins
again In Congress. Some Republicans
are predicting there will be new wheat
legislation, and are threatening to block
the administration cotton program un-
less something is done for wheat. But
the prospects are not bright--especiall

Indio's Changing Image

If India is serious about altering
the neutraliSt image so long shown to
the United States, this country should
offer every reasonable encouragement.
A strong India, firmly in our camp,
would represent about as favorable
an international change as can be
imagined.
With this in mind, President Ken
nedy has warmly received India'S new
look" advance guard which is busily
spreading the gospel of a suddenly
militant land. Where once the pacifism
of Gandhi held sway, and the neutraliSm
Of Nehru still is dominant, they say,
there is springing new spirit etched
in steel. If this is new India girding
against further Red Chinese incursions,
and in fact renouncing the East-West
straddle, the requests for greater mill
tary assistance must be given earnest
consideration.
There is little realism, however, in
India's startling request for SIS billion
in military aid in the next three years,
about half Of which is being sought
here. Wisely, the administration is back
ing off from aid on such a scale. Even
If India could put it to good use, to
grant it would surely invoke the wrath
Of our other friend, Pakistan.
OF gravest concern to the latter is
the unsolved question Of Kashmir, for
years a sputtering bomb lying between
India and Pakistan. In fact, the image
Of India would look much better to this
country If the KaShmir issue should be
finally settled-something Mr.. Nehru
often has promised, by plebiscite or
otherwise, but has never seen fit to
carry out.

The Real Issue in Welfare

benefits for unemployed fathers, would
bring new thousands onto the relief
rolls and intensity the moral isolation
of rapidly developing relief class.
Society is not doing any favor to a
single woman with children If it sets
up her household, complete with para
mour, on a permanent monthly dole.
Where are we headed when the children
of such household are welcome in their
turn to follow the family tradition,
drawing aid for their dependent children
as third generation wards of the wage
earning community?
The wise approach, in our opinion, is
to combine tight policy on this pallia-
tive side of the welfare system with a
liberal policy on the preventive side. For
the unsupported mother no less than
the unemployed father, the basic an
Swer is job. Particularly for the wom-
an, of course, help has got to be pro-
vided before a job becomes practical
possibility. A job means job training.
1t means job placement. 1t also means
providing day care for the children of
the working mother.
Day care serves as good example
of the economic considerations involved
in this sort of positive approach to well
fare. Day care costs money, but peanuts
compared to the alternatives. The Dis
trict is spending for relief this year more
than Sc million of its own money, and
more than that in Federal funds. For
tenth of the local figure we could pro-
vide fine day nursery system, freeing
many of these mothers to become useful
citizens.
No one who has talked to mothers
now receiving experimental job training
here can doubt that this is the approach
they in fact prefer.
We would put it this way to our
liberal friends, to the beleaguered Com
missioner Duncan, to Senator Byrd'S
critics-and to Mr.. Brewer, or whoever
gets the welfare job:
The problem is not how to make it
easier to get on relief. 1t is how to make
it easier to get off.
Evening star., 1963-05-24

Commissioner Duncan says the quail
ifications of Acting Welfare Director
Donald Brewer for the job of permanent
director will have to be determined,
then compared with those of other can
didates. This is window dressing.
The Commissioner already is aware
of Mr.. Brewers qualifications, having
promoted him to his present position,
observed him in it, and discussed the
welfare program with him many times.
He could, moreover, put the active list
of other candidates in his eye and never
know the difference.
Mr. Duncan is dragging his feet
because Mr.. Brewer is trying to steer
a middle course between extremists in
an argument over the philosophy of
public welfare in Washington. The
Commissioners, under great pressure
both from local politicians and from the
administration, are seeking an aggreS-
Sive liberal for the top spot-Someone,
specifically, who would go to the mat
with Senator Byrd of West Virginia over
proposals to liberalize District welfare
policies.
That is the real issue behind the
hocus-pocuS search for the new welfare
director. 1t brings us eyeball to eyeball
with these questions
Does the District really want So
called liberalized system of welfare in
which, as more and more benefits are
provided, more and more people par
ticipate as way of life?
Or should we try to make the sys-
TEN operate so as to minimize its self
perpetuating tendencies, and maximize
the forces pushing relief recipients back
into the main stream of society?
The Star shares with Senator Byrd
and many others familiar with the
practicalities of the welfare problem-a
preference for the second of these al
ternatives. We think the present well
fare system tends to lock its supposed
beneficiaries into a situation which is
unworthy Of modern society. We fear
that proposed welfare extensions, such
as abandonment of the man in the

of independence for Europe,
particularly in the military
field, that is the greatest
obstacle to interallied CO.
operation today.
Gen. de Gaulle, to be sure,
has his own answer to the
dilemma. 1t is to make
France and then Europe as
q whole as independent Of
the United States in all fields
as possible. The development
Of French nuclear power is
an essential first step to this
end. In the generals book,
only nuclear nations are
capable of independent ac-
ton, the rest "are doomed to
subservience or satellite
status"
Can't Deny France
Other Western leaders may
reject this reasoning, but
they cannot prevent the fact
Of the emergence Of France
as a nuclear power. And it is
this failure to accept this
very elementary fact that lies
at the heart Of the problem
which confronts the Alliance
today.
From the beginning the
French nuclear effort has
been treated as a major Sc
curity hazard to the United
States and everything pos
sible has been done to frlls-
trate it. Today, Western
statesmen do not fear that
the French will bankrupt
themselves but hope they will
do so. Various schemes for a
NATO nuclear force respond
less to any military need
within the Alliance than the
hope of discouraging develop
ment of other European nu-
clear deterrent forces.
The only thing wrong with
this policy is that it shows no
signs whatever of succeeding
in its purpose. In the case Of
France, it is only too clear
that a deterrent will be de-
veloped and will not be "in-
tegrated" within any NATO
framework. This may be de-
plorable and even absurd. But
it is, nevertheless. a fact
which cannot be ignored.
Indeed, to some observers
it seems that American pol
icy, if anything, has increas-
ed the nationalistic charac-
ter of the French effort
which is so generally deplor-
ed. The hope Of the French
themselves, is that, once their
deterrent is actually in exis-
tence, things will take a more
reasonable turn. And that the
paralysis so painfully evident
in Ottawa will begin to wear
off.

180 pp. (Horizon Press;

"Open-minded as the
term is customarily used, is
merely a euphemism for
having a hole in the head. "
Ideas dribble in and out.
Since tomorrow may bring
new evidence, it is well not
to have an opinion today.
But it is better to be OPEN
minded in the sense that one
is prepared to revise today's
strongly held view If tomor-
row does in fact bring new
evidence.
There is still another form
of open-mindedness, and this
is the best of all. 1t is the
ability to break away from
customary modes Of organiz-
ing perceptions - to move
against a strong Gestalt, as
they say in some psychology
cal circles-and to see things
In entirely new patterns, pat
terms more relevant than
those sanctioned by tradition.
A thinker who has this un-
usual ability is destined to
perpetrate one outrage after

the influence Of television on
