Our Lord Jesus Christ
teaches that all men are bro
theirs. He permits no discrim-
nation because of race, color
or creed"
Twenty-eight young Me-
thodiSt ministers in Mississip-
pi some six months ago is
sued a manifesto containing
the above statement, some
thing most of us have been
taught in Sunday School
since We were children. Now
nineteen of them have been
driven from their pulpits.
Twelve have left the state.
Seven have changed pulpits
within the state. Only nine
remain at their original chur-
ches All have suffered in
varying degrees from pres
sures and Illustrations.
Their story was printed on
page one in a recent editiin
of the New York Times =
and it is a heartbreaking
thing.
If Jesus Christ came back
to earth and visited in Mis-
sisSippi, | wonder how many
churches would let Him in?
Certainly He doesn't seem
to be in some churches now
adays.
The devil appears to have
taken over instead.
But when people spend the
whole week hating. it is pref
ty hard to love on Sunday.
Hate is just about the most
destructive force in the
world to human beings.
Eventually hate will con-
sumo the hater.
We suppose the number
one hater in Mississippi at
the moment is Byron de Ia
BeckWith.
His blind hatred for Ne
oroes landed him in the
Kinds County jail.
incidentally, those fourteen
men who are raising money
for Beckwith's defense will
have a hard time convincing
most people they do not ap-
prove of the murder of Med
gar Evers.
Since when has murder be-
come a civil right?

They don't want to offend

They don't want to run the

Mr.. BUNDLE and All That

Quite obviously Judge Alexander
Holtzoff of the United States District
Court for the District Of Columbia did
the right thing in the case Of Furman
Johnson Strother. He did so by baking
at the idea of extraditing to South
Carolina this 18-year-old Negro boy
who got involved with a friend, two
years ago, in forging the Endorsement
of a $40 U. s. Treasury check he had
found on street down there, in a town
called Chester.
Forgery of any kind, Of course, is
not to be belittled or condoned. But
Judge Holtzoff, who certainly has never
been inclined to be a coddler of people
who stray from the straight and narrow,
based his admirable judgment on these
facts, among others: ~ Young Strother
with the help of an aunt in whose
home he is now living here in WASH
ington-has long since paid back the
$40. (2) He committed this felony, a
minuscule one in terms of the cash
involved, at an age (l6) when one tends
to be impulsive and not inclined to
weigh the consequences of certain acts.
And (3) he has been in no trouble
otherwise, either in South Carolina or
the District of Columbia.
1t was because of all this that Judge
Holtzoff urged South Cardinals au-
thoritieS to abandon their "harsh"
position. Still, until the other day, some
of those authorities insisted that legal
technicalities required them to prose-
cute to the end. But Judge Holtzoff
apparently agrees with Mr.. BUNDLES
obiter dictum: IF the law supposes
that, the law is a ass" and now these
authorities have come around to the
same view. Thanks to the judges COM
nonsense counsel, the case has been
dropped, as 1t should have been long ago.

strained. 1t droppeth as the gentle dew

Speaking of BIockmoiI

Defense Secretary Mcnamara is say
ing that If Congress won't give him his
fallout shelter program he won't ap-
prove an anti-ICBM program-even
though such defensive weapon might
be technically feasible.
To us, this makes no sense. Mr.. Nc
Namara'S view, as we understand 1t, is
that even If a reasonably effective anti
missile missile were developed and
placed around our cities, the Russians
could aim their nuclear weapons at I'M
defended areas, thereby kicking up a
lot of fallout which, without shelters,
would still kill large number of people.
Consequently, If he doesn't get the shell
tiers he won't approve the defensive
missiles.
This sounds something like the case
of the boy who owned the ball and who
wouldn't play unless he could pitch. If
it makes sense to ban defense against
ICBMs in the absence Of shelter pro-
gram, why not scrap our whole defensive
program-planes, warning systems and
what not? Perhaps Mr.. Mcnamara
would favor this. But where will the
United States, stripped Of its defenses
be, on the day, which will surely come,
when the Russians have developed an
effective anti-missile missile of their
own?
We will be at their mercy-a push
over for blackmail. Perhaps Mr.. Nc
Namara is trying bit of political black
mail of his own, hoping to frighten Con-
gress, which favors anti-missile missiles,
into approving shelter program, which
it does not favor. If this is the case, we
do not think he should be permitted to
get away with 1t. The Defense Secre-
tary's responsibility is to do what he can
to provide this country with maximum
protection. He is not supposed to chuck
it Just because he doesn't get everything
he would like to have. ~

million from this tax. Both
Alexandria and Falls Church

ton Of the business privilege

crippling cuts in the budget

Problem in Fairfax

The Fairfax County Fed
Grafton Of Citizens Associa-
lions is disappointed and
concerned over the final
action Of the Fairfax
County Board Of Super
visors on the budget for the
next fiscal year. Although the
desire Of the board to keep
any increase in property taxes
to a palatable level is under
standable and commendable,
it is difficult to comprehend
how this objective could be
pursued at the expense of
curtailing services in such
critical areas as schools,
parks and libraries.
On the subject of schools,
the fact that the voters Of
the county expressed their
sentiment by a margin Of 5
to l in favor of the school
bond issue provides ample
evidence of the willingness
and desires of the voters of
the county to pay what is
required for a top quality
school system. The $1.8 mil
lion reduction in the school
budget is bound to have a
significant impact on the
level Of school services that
can be provided.
Undoubtedly, 1t will not be
possible to hire as many
tie achers as had been
planned, therefore resulting
in an increase in the present
pupil-teacher ratio. Any in
crease in the pupil-teacher
ratio has been opposed by
the County Council of PTAs
and the League of Women
Voters as well as by the
Federation. The need for a
continued expansion Of the
parks and libraries program
has long been apparent to the
Federation and I firmly be-
lieve to the majority of Fair
fax County voters. Cuts in
this program will, without
question, make it impossible
to achieve the desired rates Of
progress in these vital areas.
The city Of it all is that
It would be possible to pro-

When PoIiticos Fall Out

DR.. Norman A. WEIGH has the high
est regard for President Kennedy. The
new president Of the American Medical
Association also has several things in
common with Mr.. Kennedy. Both are
Bostonians, both are Democrats, and
both are crack politicians.
In fact, there was time when DR..
WEIGH, working his way up through the
AMA's House Of Delegates, used his con-
siderable influence to help Mr.. Kennedy
win his Senate seat. Since then, both
have stepped up In class, and things are
not quite the same. DR.. WEIGH says he
still respects the President as zone of
the finest men in the country" But
politically, there has been a parting OF
the ways, which specifically means that
Mr.. Kennedy's medicare program will
get from the ANA under Dr. WEIGH
exactly the same support 1t always has
had-absolutely none.

The New Pope

The moving and wonderful pageantry
surrounding the election of a new Pope
is reflected In the roll call of his titles:
Bishop of Rome, Vicar Of Jesus Christ,
Successor of the Prince of the Apostles,
Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church,
Patriarch of the West, Primate of Italy,
Archbishop and Metropolitan of the
Province of Rome and Sovereign Of the
State of Vatican City.
BY any title, we salute Paul VI. The
prayers of all civilization are with him
as he assumes the burden Of leadership
Of the worlds half billion Roman Cath
olics.
Giovanni Battista Montini brings to
the papacy a rare combination Of diplo-
matte and pastoral skills. AS Archbishop
Of Milan, this patrician scholar occa-
sionally wore miners helmet on under
ground visits to his parishioners, who
called him "the bishop Of the workers"
He was a close associate both Of Pope
Plus XII and Of Pope John XIII, serv-
ing the former as Pro-Secretary Of
State. His qualifications were such that
he was prominently mentioned as a
papal candidate in 1858, although he
was not then a Cardinal He was the
first Cardinal named by Pope John.
1t is encouraging that the new Pope
has publicly and firmly identified him.
self with the progressive policies Of his
predecessor, particularly with the move
ment toward Christian unity. His choice
of official name, indeed, was deliberately
symbolic of that unity. He Is certain to
reconvene the ecumenical council sum-
moned last year by Pope John, so that
modernization of the church will 60 for
ward. The evidence indicates that he
shares Pope Johns pre-occupation with
the need for world peace. The Vatican's
supreme goal, he has said, sis to seek
peace, to create peace"
It remains to be seen, in this regard,
whether Pope Paul will push forward the
tentative probes which had been init
ated toward establishing contacts be-
tween Communist countries and the
Vatican. Major decisions Of this sort
await his attention. They will be in
good, strong hands.

Negro Rivalry

Roy wilkins speech In Alexandria
brings into the open for the first time
a troublesome and potentially dangerous
situation which has been simmering and
even seething behind the scenes in the
Negro drive for an end to discrimination.
The executive secretary Of the
NAACP laid 1t right on the line. And he
named names-particularly CORE, the
Student Non-Violent Co-ordinating
Committee and the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference, headed by the
Rev. DR.. Martin Luther King. OF these,
Mr.. wilkins said: THE other organiza-
tions furnish the noise and get the pub
ncity while the NAACP furnishes the
manpower and pays the bills"
Certainly there is much truth in
this. The NAACP has been fighting the
battle for equal treatment for years
not in the streets, but through the
courts and through political action. BY
far the greater part Of the gains made
by the Negro has come as a result OF
the NAACP efforts.
Suddenly, however, this was not
enough The younger generation Of Ne
groes, and this is quite understandable,
became dissatisfied with the pace. They
clamored for an end to discrimination
in all It's forms today, not tomorrow.
And they have shown themselves ready
to seek It through direct action"-sit-
ms, street demonstrations and, perhaps,
open violence.
All Of this has threatened the lead
ership status OF the NAACP and has
forced the men who head that organ
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-06-22

ization to take action which they prob
ably considered unwise. An alternative
possibility, however, has been that lead
ership of the movement might go by
default to other groups and other men
who would prove to be both reckless and
unable to control the fires once they
have been lighted. If this happens, If
there should be resort to calculated
violence and defiance of law, there will
be reaction which could set back the
Negro movement for years to come.
