God Save the Queen
To those Of us who twice

TO those OF us who twice welcomed
her to Washington, in 1853 as a demure
and charming princess, and four years
later as a gracious ruler, the booing of
Queen Elizabeth II by some of her own
people was despicable and vile act.
This is the kind Of thing one would never
expect Of England.
OF all the persons to be singled out
for ugly affront, the gentle Elizabeth
certainly would be the most unlikely
candidate. Her devotion to the people
OF the Commonwealth, and her friend
illness with all peoples, have been a
warming influence in too-bleak world.
Apologists will point out that the
London outburst was by small fringe
OF left-wing crackpots whose main tar
gets were the King and Queen Of Greece.
The answer is that their conduct toward
the visiting monarchs was no more ex-
cusable. Indeed, Queen ElizabetHl's EN-
barrassment surely was more acute for
her guests than for herself.

Communist CONFUSION

The weekend Soviet attack on
Red China leaves no room for doubt
that the Moscow-P Picking alliance has
fallen apart and that international
communism is suffering the greatest
CONFUSION, the greatest Schism, in its
history.
Thus, using language Of exceptional
bitterness, the Kremlin has in effect
branded the Mao Tze-tung regime as
an enemy of the USSR, Of the world
Communist movement and Of interna-
tional peace. Indeed, by indirection at
least, it has accused the Chinese Reds
Of being racists seeking to achieve
global domination by bringing about
a war between the Soviets and the
United StateS-a war that would cost
hundreds Of millions Of lives.
These are the gravest of charges,
and they can hardly fail to open up
possibilities Of profound historical i'm
portance. Not the least of these posi-
bil1tieS, OF course, Is that the Soviet
Union will now seek genuine detente
with the West. The first step In that
direction may be taken today during
Premier Khrushchev's meeting with
w. Averell Hartman, the Presidents
special representative at the new Anglo
Soviet American nuclear teSt-ban talks
in Moscow. Certainly, If the talks lead
to an acceptable agreement, the way
will be open for exploratory discussions
aimed at settling numerous other issues,
including Berlin, that have long en-
venomed relations between the West
and the USSR.
This Is the promise implicit In the
MoScow-Peking split. 1t is a promise
that could lead, II the Kremlin is
intent upon serious and honest give
and-take negotiations, to step-by-step
progress from detente to definitive
peace settlement between the Soviets
and the Western world. In fact, when
one thinks of how China and its vast
population might some day menace the
USSR, an eventual Soviet-American
alliance does not seem altogether in
conceivable.
Yet, despite the feel of deep and
historic change in the air, optimism
must still be cautious. As Secretary
Rusk warned the other day in his
address to the Virginia Bar Association,
the Moscow-Peking rift must not be
taken as signal that the free world
can relax its vigilance. The riffs great
promise still is only promise far from
fulfillment, and must be viewed with
reservation and a fingers kind
OF hope.

Shomed by Voice

My husband and I are old

Mexico. Since the Bay Of Pigs
incident there have been
times when we have held our

Gently did we lower them In

We were seated in q small
cafe on the remote Mexican
Caribbean island Of Cozumel
when one Of the patrons
turned on the Voice OF
America morning broadcast
In Spanish. The Alabama ra-
cial crisis was blazing and, as
the commentator laundered
our country's soiled linen In
foreign waters, we felt that
a subversive and sinister
hate-America peddler was at
work. The misleading picture
left by the commentator was
not only q disservice to the
majority Of Americans, but II
was q disservice TO our Gov

abroad.
That the United States has

TO advertising the greatness
Of our Nation.

The XXX Rides Again

In all the storm and strife of the
revolution swirling about us, 1t is almost
a relief to see an old, familiar figure
stalking in the distance. We almost
said familiar face, but that would be
inaccurate, for this character is wear
ing a hood which is the correct en-
semble piece for a robe, or sheet.
Yes, the Ku Klux Khan is on the
march again, or so the notices out of
the South say. They are the familiar,
dire notices which have periodically
cropped up since Reconstruction Days.
The Imperial wizards, after close COM
munion with the Dragons, Kleagles
and Ghouls, are rousting up the red
necks for another run at their natural
enemies. It really isn't as frightening
as 1t is nostalgic--sort of an old-fash-

Scottered-Site HOUSING

A great deal Of needless controversy
could have been avoided II District off
Gals had taken closer and earlier look
at the legality Of the proposal for scat
tered-site public housing in the Adams
Morgan area. BY all odds this provision
OF the urban renewal plan accounted
Tor the greatest amount of agonizing at
the Commissioners recent hearings.
Only now, with the fireworks over, the
District corporation counsel has inched
forward with legal ruling, scattering
the scattered-site proposal to the winds.
The relief in the voice of Commits
sioner Tobriner is unnIstakable. For,
tardy or not, the corporation counsel
has relieved his bosses of tough deci-
sion, one which politically they hardly
could have reliShed making. With this
issue out Of the way, approval Of the
AdamS-Morgan plan should come much
easier.
Such nuances aside, we think that
no great harm has been done. The scat
tered-site proposal from the first was a
frankly experimental idea, the practical
value OF which no one really knew. Such
tight limitations were imposed on its
use that It's application surely would
have been limited. BY the same token,
however, there may have been isolated
instances in which 1t could have proved
valuable in housing large, poor families.
And there still may be. The generalized
proposal would have gone into effect
only IN the event that large rundown
homes became available in the Adams
Morgan area which private enterprise
had no interest in rehabilitating. If such
houses turn up later, the renewal agency
can satisfy the corporation counsel's OBJ
tections by requesting that they be spe-
officially designated for public housing
at that time. II not, there will have
been no loss in discarding the whole
idea.

forces in recent days It is quite pos

We find ourselves in a strangely
detached position as between these two
adversaries for the Republican leader
ship-a position shared, it may be. by
a good many Republicans. It is silly
to say that Senator Goldwater would
be a "lunatic fringe" candidate. But
we would want to know a lot more
than anyone now knows about his
attitude on basic foreign and domestic
issues before taking him seriously for
the presidency. It would be unhealthy
for the Republicans, meanwhile, If
Senator Goldwater were allowed to take
over the party by default.
On the other hand, we have never
been much impressed with Mr.. Rookie
Teller, SO we can hardly hail him as
a shining knight needed to slay the
right-wing dragon.
Someone else will have to appear,

Negroes in Virqinio
We wish tn command fhn,

We wish to commend those
several public accommoda-
ton businesses in Northern
Virginia which have long last
yielded to moral imperatives
although abetted by some
pressure organizations and
accepted colored citizens on
planes Of equality. They have
found no untoward results.
For more than so years
we have worked for and
prayed for the day when we
would not suffer the frus-
trations and indignities of
being a Negro American liv-
ing In Virginia. We recall the
separate unheated waiting
room for Negroes in the Old
Dominion station at East
Falls Church when often
poultry and pigs shared the
room. We Travelled In the
dingy Jim Grow car back Of
the engine In company with
manacled prisoners and funk.
There was @ time when A
Negro with o new car was
in doubt as to service at a
gas station and almost no
rest rooms were available TO
Negroes. If needing an over
night stop there was to be
found no public hosiery that
would give rest to q Negro
He could find no place where
ne might enter and ask for
q sandwich or coffee-in some
instances even to carry out,
Right where ! live In Falls
Church there is still a do
nut shop where on the cold
est mornings q colored man
or woman must take his cof-
fee outside to drink.
There were times In the
past when we toyed with the
thought that communism
could hardly be worse for
Negroes. We have wondered
how white Christians could
truly worship Christ when
daily they saw how fellow
Christians were suffering in
body and spirit.
Yet for all of our half
century living in Virginia we
feel We are beginning to see
a better day and we hold no
malice towards those who
have witnessed our humilia-
tons and have done nothing.
Even ct this late date those
who have realized this in
Justice can still do some-
thing. Each can and should
write our Senators and Con-
gressmen and urge them to
support President Kennedy's
bills to implement the fun
emancipation Of Negroes. Is
this too much to ask?
