POINT OF VIEW
AIabamans Ponder Race Role

The personally blocks the dool
against the Negro students. II
is not clear how he plans ID
permit a controlled situation
to deteriorate to the point Of
requiring Federal troops, but II
is clear that he does not in
tend to halt his physical re-
sistance until he has beer
taken off to jail. An incarce-
ration by Federal officials, ever
if it extends to the point Of
requiring him to surrender hi
office, seems virtually certain
Ito g1iafantee his ultimate ana.
bition Of election to the United
States Senate.
Gov. Wallace is obviously
tempted by the possibility Of
enlarging the prospective
drama by making himself
available soon as a third-party
candidate for president. While
this step would force a break
with the party Of his FORE
bears, It would have the ap-
peal Of placing President Ken
nedy in the distinctly awkward
position Of being obliged to jail
a-man who Is running against
him.
In this apparent absence OF
any real f1exibility in the Gov
errors intentions, the best
hope for orderly desegregation
is discerned in the possibility
of enrolling the first Negroes
in the university's extension
school at Huntsville, a city
rendered prosperous and pro-
gressive by the space age.
Local Reactions
The local reactions Of the
police and public would be far
more reliable here than at Tus-
caloosa. The further hope is
that the President would be
content, in these circum-
stances, to allow time for the
Federal court to arrest and
convict Gov. Wallace, instead
of pressing the matter to a
prompt conclusion with armed
soldiers.
The Alabama racial scene is
far from bleak. The city of
Birmingham recently showed
its mood by rejecting an ex-
tremist candidate for mayor in
favor Of a moderate. No one
wants desegregation, but the
thinking class is disposed to
bow to its inevitability. The
greatest dangers are largely
those involved with putting a
popular governor in jail.

Congress Seen Ending

by the House to act on revenue
bills.
This year, for example, the
House will have spent nearly
six months on the tax bill II It
passes the measure in early

said he would like to see some
progress made on the bill at

said he is well pleased" with
the record this session had
made when it began the Easter
recess Thursday night. He re-
peated his belief that Congress
will be judged, not on the
amount. but on the quality Of
the legislation it passes"
The Senate, which lost the
month of January fighting
over its rules and organization,
has since passed nine impor-
tant bills, Of which three have
become law. These are the ex-
tension Of the military draft
law, honorary citizenship for
Winston Churchill and a $500

MONTGOMERY. Ala. - An
awed sense Of the impending
high noon in race relations
pervades this State and pro-
vokes its central figures to
ponder hard the roles they will
play in the crucial drama.
No one is bordering harder
than the new Governor, George
c. Wallace, who must discover
a role which BELTS his char
acter as a practical young man
with strong ambitions for his
State and himself, and his SOL
emn campaign pledge to resist
desegregation to the door of
the jailhouse.
The States dilemma lies in
the contrast between Gov.
Wallace's progressive concepts
of State administration and his
deep commitment to the red
neck bitter-enders on the race
question.
Outside the Governors Of
flee Alabama presents a very
different picture from Missis-
Sippi, in that the moderate
forces. particularly the BUSH
ness leaders and newspaper
editors. are organized and
working. The transition would
promise to be reluctant but
peaceful as it was in Georgia
and South Carolina if Gov.
Wallace were not resolved to
accept token indignation only
at the point Of a Federal bay
onet.
Makes Position Clear
The Governor made his po-
sition very clear in a stormy
session with the trustees of
the University of Alabama
three weeks ago. He informed
them with considerable passion
that he was not going to allow
the Federal Government to &C
complish the desegregation of
the university with marshals

explained the descent is con-

The balloon enclosed $4,000
cubic feet of air heated by a
liquid propane burner beneath
the bags opening. Mr.. Picard
and Mr.. Yost had enough fuel
for about 10 hours aloft under
favorable conditions.

said. I'VE raised our heat to
rise above the power lines and
it looked like it was going to
be close. Then we saw that
there were no lines connecting

Apparently, the poles had

2 Americans Cross English Channel
At i 900 Feet in Hot-Air Balloon

PARIS, April 10 (AP).-Two
daring Americans, scudding
across the sky at $4,000 feet,
crossed the channel from Brit
ain to France today in a huge
hot air balloon.
Don Picard and Ed Yost,
both Of Sioux Falls, s. OAK,
made history with the 334 hour
flight. Never before had the
channel been crossed in this
type of balloon-using hot air
instead Of gas.
1T was a perfect trip-clear
all the way" said Mr.. Picard,
81, son of the late Jean Picard,
a famous pioneer balloonist.
1--WE almost ended up in the
channel, though" grinned Mr..
YoSt, and ex-bush pilot in
Alaska. when we made our
descent, winds near the ground
almost blew us back to the sea-"
They landed two miles in
France, at Gravelines, near
Dunkirk.
Plastic Covered Bag
Just after dawn, the 50-foot
plastic covered nylon bag, with
Mr.. Picard and Mr.. Yost below
on a wooden platform, lifted off
from a green field at Rye, Eng
land.
Cleaning in the morning sun,
the white balloon drifted off
toward the channel like a wan
dering cloud. Sometimes, from
the ground, the balloon seemed
to be hanging motionless in
the sky. Then it would scoot
off at 20 miles an hour.
"Our big problem was find
ing wind going our way" said
Mr.. Yost, who did most Of the
plotting. I'VE kept going higher
and higher and finally found
what we wanted at 10000 feet"
The balloonists wore no par
achutes.

weight" said Mr.. Picard.

aboard - a salami and some
cheese" Mr.. YoSt said.
