Racial Leaders
See Obstacles
InCambridge
BY JOHN BARRON
star staff Writer

CAMBRIDGE, Nd, June 20.
-Negotiators here publicly ex-
pressed optimism about achiev-
ing an agreement which win
free Cambridge from the threat
Of renewed racial violence.
Privately. however, they re-
veal fears that obstacles may
arise to thwart the settlement
which seemed imminent after
Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy interviewed in the con-
flict Tuesday.
Their apprehensions are in
tensified by realization that
each passing night without a
clear inter-racial understand
ing increases the danger of re-
newed trouble.
A primary requisite to such
an understanding is a commit
ment from the city council to
enact a local public accommo-
dations law which would re-
quire all restaurants to serve
Negroes.
Rejected Once
In a compromise proposal
last week end. the Mayor and
council offered to pass a law
in return for a pledge from
Negroes to refrain from dem
onstrations for at least a year.
Negro leaders initially re-
jected the compromise. but
after Mr.. Kennedy summoned
them to Washington they left
the impression that it is now
acceptable.
In the meantime, some mem
bers Of the council have begun
to balk at fulfilling the offer
they originally made.
Maryland Attorney General
Thomas B. Finan yesterday
sent officials here a six-page
opinion in which he asserted
that passage Of q local accom-
modations act would be legal.
However, the councils own
lawyer. c. Awdry Thompson,
has not concurred in the opin-
ion, and at a closed meeting
last night council members
failed to agree to pass the law.
Attorneys to Confer
After the meeting, it was an
nounced that Mr.. Finan and
Mr.. Thompson would confer.
The outcome of their discus
sions probably will have a de-
cisive influence on the council.
Since last Friday, the local
politicians have received nu-
merous manifestations Of hos
tility among the white COM
munity to any act which would |
force restaurant owners to
desegregate.
However. prominent business
men here are urging q settle
ment, fearful that the alterna-
tive might be q resumption Of
violence.
The growing impatience
among Negroes was reflected
at Q rally last night by James
Foreman, executive secretary
Of the Student Non-Violent CO.
Ordinating Committee.
Speed Urged
IF they don't hurry up with
these negotiations, I don't ex-
pect that we are going to wait
too long because the price is
too high" he told a cheering,
chanting throng Of nearly 400
Negro residents.
Chamber of Commerce d.
rectors agreed yesterday that
If the council will proceed with
the accommodations law, they
will attempt to marshal the
support of business.
AS secret deliberations among
both the white and Negro
leadership continued today, the
town remained under strict
control Of the National Guards
men sent into the city by Gov.
Tawes last Friday.

you entered the Embassy that made him form new

all you remember, whom you saw, what they said
Il may give lead on why he went of like that
EM DO my best" She shaded her eyes. The
Secretary Of State, on his way up the stairs, had
smiled and waved. She gave Simon her wrap and
at the checkstand man in Air Force uniform asked
him to stop by for talk the next time he was in the
PentagOn. Then she heard her own name and
turned to see Mrs. Clayton coming through the door,
"Jededah," she was calling back to her husband
who was still descending from their car Here are
the Meads! Isn't that treat9"
The Senator agreed and asked her to make up
her mind when the chauffeur should come back.
"NOw how can know how long wen stay till
see who's here?" she argued "Oh very well, tell
him an hour" The Senator relayed her instruc-
tons to the chauffeur, then came ON to join his
wife. He inquired about Selenas mother and envel-
Oped her in his usual galantries.
I'm good judge Of hOrseResh,' he declared,
but never guessed the leggy colt SCOUTING sand in
my eyes at Newport would grow into the sexiest
FLY in town."

only the author can write DOW
erfully enough. Mr.. Albee has
proved that he is such an au-
thor, which makes him kin to
another apostle Of the obliquely
fired word, Samuel Beckett.
The most interesting question
raised by this philosophy is
whether the big, big audience is
adaptable enough to survive.
The final answer to that Is
some distance in away In time.
Nevertheless, it is rising mistily
from the experience of Wash
ington with the Anthony Newley
revue, stop the World-I Want
to Get Off" now at the National.
In form, Mr.. Newley's work is
abstract, unconventional, a mar
rative more than a dramatic
piece. Nightly, it raises the
Question Of whether it will
achieve a tie between the STAN
does and the walkees. The walk
ees, of course, are those who
leave, most of them at the sin
gle intermissiOn but some after
half an hour of failing to adjust
to Mr.. Newley's angle of vision.
This drama departments
spies report that departees are

can't wait for Newley's world to
stop but get off with it still run

of these said, adding, "as if

playwrightS, most of all Albee.
This was an exceptional reac-
ton to what must have struck
him as an exceptional provoca-
ton. AmuSingly enough, for a
fleeing moment, it identified
Mr.. Albee with a class although
he clearly belongs to none save
in a general or statistical way.
As for instance, age IS, bache-
Tor, In the 1890 per cent tax
bracket.
It Is artistically that Mr.. Al
bee is an uncompromising indi-
vidualist and mnOvator.
He made this most flagrantly
clear last season with his prize
winning ''Who's Afraid of Virgil
MIA Woolf?" Heretofore, Mr..
Albee had written plays that
were short to the pOint-some-
times obScure-of abruptneSs.
Then, In Virginia Woolf," he
wrote a play that was all talk
that ran for three hours.
It was almost as if Mr.. Albee
had set out to prove that con-
versation was not a lost art,
m erely one that had been
thrown away. Audiences sat
speIlbound while a quartet of
DRINKS stabbed one another to
death with Albee's finely honed
language.
AS one result of this, no critic
since has dared to describe any
play as too talky," although a
great many actually are.
Having thus convincingly
proved that audiences are NAL
leable in the hands of reckless
playwrights, Mr.. Albee has
come up this year with another
innovation.
This one is his adaptation of
Carson McCullers' "The Ballad
of the Sad Cafe" For years, re-
form-minded critics of the
theater have argued that the
three act play is merely a silly
tradition that should give way
to the two-act design.
Mr.. Albee has gone even this
proposed reform one act better.
1.-THE Ballad of the Sad Cafe" is
a single act play that runs for
two hours, as If its author were
trying to give everyone a start
on breaking the cigarette habit.
Even more radically, Mr.. Albee
has not really tried to redesign
Miss McCullers' novella as a
play, but rather as an actable
narrative.
This is an expression Of a
powerful belief in writing, if
