A PORTRAIT OF JAMES DABBs

out Of New England. where Yankee
Puritans held sway. Barnettt is
an exception rather than q true
Southerner. creature OF the i'm
balance that exists within our cul-
ttTe rightnow."
What is the imbalance?
It was born Of conflict between
the Southerner's natural desire
for a peaceful, pastoral, personal
life and the necessity to defend
ugly institutions he knew were
fundamentally wrong, Mr.. Dahbs
believes. First it was slavery. then
segregation, that imposed the
pressures bringing about distor-
ton in the Southern character.
Coming New Values
II think we will have to ham
mer out from scratch new values
for an industrial, urban society"
he said. IT don't believe the
country has done it yet. ] would
hope that somehow we can trans
fer to this new order some of the
values Of the earlier, agrarian or
der. to leave us a life with some
dignity"
A belief in the special character
Of the South. he thinks, is in keep
ing with the aspirations of the
Southern Regional Council, an
organization of whites and Negroes
with a 43-year history Of seeking
to improve race relations.
The council staff Is in Atlanta,
and Mr.. Dabbs, who has been
president since 1857, drops in only
occasionally. The councils en-
deavors have been in the realm
Of research, education and main
tanning interracial communica-
tons rather than in legal and
direct action
Some of Mr.. Dabbs friends we're
a bit anxious when he was called
upon in 1851 to address the ma
tional convention of another civil
rights organization, the NAACP,
in Philadelphia. After all, enemy
of segregation or not, here was a
Southern traditionalist who didn't
quite fit any of the usual pat
terms Of civil rights advocates :
an elderly man, a lover of the past,
a planter.
"But he gave them q sort of
cornpone talk that went over
wonderfully an associate recalled.
AS usual, the human and
folksy cornpone was interspersed
with literary illusions, meta
phorical flourishes, biting irony
and the thunder of strong con-
viction, but in no shape but his
own.
1t was pure Dabbs, and by his
own definition Of the species, pure
Southerner.
The happy reception Of his
words seemed to confirm his view
that the white South and the Ne
gro have a special affinity for each
other, and that time will draw
them together as brothers under
the skin.

Heritage" appeared In 1858, Edi-
tor Holding Carter of Mississippi
called it "the most meaningful
comment on the race situation yet
made by a Southerner." It is q
classic in the growing field Of lit
erature created by the South's
coming to grips with itself.
His Birthplace
Though he goes to Atlanta
about four times q year for South
ern Regional Council business
and makes occasional speeches
elsewhere, he is rooted to his
birthplace.
Twenty years ago he quit as
chairman of the English De-
partment at Coker College in
Hartwell, S. c., and went back to
the land of the McBrides and the
Dabbses, where his family has
lived for more than 200 years. His

A Going Concern
Now Faces Death

It makes loans ITSELF to govern
ments or private business abroad.
Such loans have to be spent in
the United States. they can be
made only If no private lender
is willing t. offer credit, and they
can't be made unless there's 'rea-
sonable assurance" they win be
repaid. For every 81 export fl
nanced this way, the bank win
get back 81 plus interest. Last
year, 1t got back $700 million,
which offset that much United
States spending overseas and thus
kept the dollar and gold outflow
lower.
Money for Exports
The bank can also entice private
lenders into putting UP money for
exports. It can agree to guarantee
or insure parts of the loans they
make. Every 81 sale made this
way brings to the United States
a dollar that someone might have
cashed in for gold.
Eximbank has been able to
make $804.5 million in clear profit
during its 20 years. And, so far,
almost two out of every three
dollars it has ever paid out have
been paid back. In fact, 1t only
has q few badly overdue loans
including three, totaling 1858
million, to Cuba. They are pre-
Castro loans.
Full public esteem or no, the
bank can't do anything more
without new credit. AS high Of
ficials of the bank watch the
days pass. with little sign Of an
end to the credit famine, they get
steadily more uneasy. Harold Lin
der is chairman of the board Of
the bank.
United States business. bank Of
ficials say, is probably already
losing orders, and, in time, it may
also lose customers. Some pur-
chases can't be postponed. others
won't be. It's possible, bank aides
think, that some overseas Gus
toners will find what they want
elsewhere, and won't come back
to the United States.
The first threat comes to sales
that would be paid for with
private loans partly covered by
Eximbank backing. These sales
may involve shipments that go
out routinely, day after day. And
those are the first to be lost
when there's no financing. But
private credit also pays for q lot
of special deals, and, while they
can wait a time for financing,
they won't wait indefinitely.
Still, the threat and the many
friends Eximbank has on Capitol
Hill couldn't keep the bank free
Of a jurisdictional battle between
House and Senate. Coaxed by its
appropriations committee, which
wants Eximbank to come to it,
not the Treasury, to ask for
money, the House voted to stop
the banks borrowing from Uncle
Sam.

If a bank runs out Of credit
and can't get more, it's probably
because 1t has been careless with
money.
But that's not true of the Gov
ernment's Export Import Bank
sometimes called just "Eximbank."
AS prudent as any private bank,
and more profitable than many.
the bank still is all but out of
business. It used UP Just about
all of its credit a month ago,
and Congress has refused to give
it any more.
This has nothing to do with
how sound the banks business
has been. 1t costs the Govern
ment nothing to run. And almost
everybody is pleased with its sue
cess over the last 20 years. 1t is,
as a Senate committee recently
said, ''the most solidly established
and respected lending organiza-
ton of the Government"
The problem is simply one Of
Congressional pride. The House
wants the right to Judge Exim-
banks money needs. and it wants
to be first In doing that.
The Senate, however. doesn't
want to give up that much to
the House. About the only way
the Senate can keep what it con-
siders an equal share of super
vision over the bank is to permit
the bank to go to the Treasury
when 1t needs money, without
asking Congress permission every
year. That is just what the bank
has done since 1884.
conferees to Try Again
The result is a deadlock. Try
as they have, conferees Of
House and Senate can't agree to
q compromise that would put the
bank back in business. They met
several times last week and will
try again next Thursday. Repre-
sentative Patman Of Texas is
chairman Of the House conferees.
81 On the law books, the bank
doesn't even exist anymore. The
law that created 1t expired June
80. It is still able to put out
the money it promised before
then. Thus, even though 1t was
legally dead throughout July, 1t
did borrow $64.8 million to carry
out deals made before June 30.
But it can't get any money to
make new loans or to guarantee
loans made by private lenders.
And this is a bad time for the
bank to have its cashier windows
closed. 1t is supposed to be putting
up money 70 permit more sale Of
United States goods to other
countries.
Such sales. President Kennedy
has said, are "our greatest
strength" in trying to keep United
States gold from leaving the
country. Eximbank has a big part
in seeing that there is money
for these sales.

Protests

But time began overtaking the
port city June 8, when the first
of daily demonstrations by Ne
groes began. Combined with a
boycott of white stores and bust
ness, its pressure resulted in the
usual pattern: A conference Of
retail executives, some behind
the-scenes anguish, and a series
of concessions to bring back nor
NAL trade.
''This is the most significant
and productive breakthrough Yet
achieved as result Of desegrega-
tion demonstrations in the
South" said John A. Morsell,
NAACP executive secretary.
To an outsider. it hardly ap-
peared that impressive. Aside from

and equal pay to Negroes, the

onstrators. But to Charleston. it
marked the beginning of some

A PORTRAIT OF JAMES DABBS
BY REESE CLEGHORN
Star Special Writer

MAYESVuILE, s. C.-Here in
the homeland of James Mcbride
Dabbs, writer and philosopher,
plantation squire and paradox, the
Old South was battered and blown
but it did not all go with the wind.
You pass swamp waters black

cypress trees. leave a United

ties and expanses Of now-bare
cotton fields, turn into q winding
dirt road overhung by crowded
pine branches and lush bushes,
and come abruptly into q clearing
in the wilderness.
The road arches symmetrically
to and from a great white house,
its distant columns obscured by
wells Of Spanish, moss hanging
from the oaks.
Close by, Negroes unload sacks
of feed at an implanted outbuild-
ing. In the distance there Is the
ring Of iron upon iron, as one Of
the plantation tenants does his
own blackSmithing.
Up the front steps into q broad
hall, and then into q high-ceil-
inged room where an intruding gas
heater has replaced the open
hearth, and where walls are lined
with Tocqueville, Nietzsche, Lomax
and Whyte, you come upon what
may be the South's rarest planta-
ton sight.

Mr.. Dabbs leads one Of the Ma

organization work that he has
found a special place. He is q
