Legislation to combat mental
retardation and construct
mental health centers appears
certain of House passage this
week, but with smaller funds
than President Kennedy rec
commended and the Senate
voted.
In contrast to an $3.50 mil
lion measure approved by a
72-l Senate vote last May, the
House version would allow 1898
million over periods of two to
three years. The Senate bill
would cover programs ranging
from three to eight years.
Several House members indi-
Gated they would try to amend
the measure revised by the
House Commerce Committee
They hoped particularly to re-
store a Senate bill section
authorizing Federal grants for
stating community mental
health centers.
That section was approved
with notifications by a House
subcommittee, but was elimi-
mated by the full committee
The American Medical ASsoci-
alton earlier this year an
nounced its opposition to Fed
eral participation in the
stating costs.

Scribed its revised bill as pro-
viding a frame work for CO.
ordinated national, State and
local action.
ut puts In one place all
authority for grants in aid In
the construction Of facilities for
research into the problem OF
mental retardation, of univer-
sity-associated facilities for the
mentally retarded, and Of State
and local facilities, and to aid
in construction Of mental
health centers."
The Senate, meanwhile, was
expected to act soon on a bill
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-09-08

which the House passed two
weeks ago dealing with an
other area of effort to help
the mentally retarded.
That bill, designed also to
carry out portions Of Mr.. Ken
nedy's recommendations, came
from the House Ways an d
Means Committee because it
dealt primarily with social
security financing.

Public Needs Reminder That Business
Cannot Act as individuals Might

eism that United States Steel
hasn't used what some people
refer TO as economic influ-
ence - which I presume TO
mean some kind Of economic
force TO bring about some
kind OF change - Is. I think,
an improper matter on which
to criticize Mr.. Wiebel or
United States Steel. I think
I would have to take consid-
cradle time to fully explain
this point. but very briefly
I'd like to say this: That I
do not either believe 1t would
be q wise thing for United
States Steel to be other than
q good citizen in the COM
munity. or to attempt TO have
its ideas Of what Is right for
that community enforced
upon that community by
some sort C economic means.
This Is repugnant to me
personally. and. I am sure,
it Is repugnant to my fellow
officers in United States
Steel. I doubt very much
this, in principle, Is q good
thing for any corporation to
follow. When we as indi-
viduals are citizens in q COM
munity. we can exercise what
small influence we may have
as citizens. But for o cor
poration to attempt to exert
any kind Of economic COM
pulsion to achieve q particu-
lar end In the social area
seems to me to be quite be-
You'd what q corporation
should do, and I would say
also quite beyond what q
corporation can DO,
Question: DO you think
that you have done all that
you should do or can do?
And you reject the criticism.
do you not?
"Mr. Blough: I would put
it this way: That we have
fulfilled cur responsibility in
the Birmingham area-what-
ever responsibility we have as
a corporation or as individu-
ais working with q corpora
ton, because, after all, q
corporation Is nothing but
individuals"
Then came President Ken
nedy's news conference on
Thursday, October 81:
Question: The United
States Steel Corp. has re-
jected the idea that 1t should
use economic pressure in an
effort to improve race rela-
tons In Birmingham. Ala.
Do you have any comment
on that position. and do you
have any counsel for man
agement and labor in general
as to their social response

DAVID LAWRENCE

There's 3 big difference be-
tween what corporation ex-
ecutiyes can readily do Is
individuals to promote good
race relations In q eommun-
ity and what they hesitate
to do by way Of economic
pressure" in acting and
speaking for their company
in its dealings with other bus
inesses and the buying public.
This difference-which is
OF transcendent Importance
to every corporation and BUSH
ness firm in the country =
wasn't made clear at Presi-
dent Kennedy's press confer
ence last Thursday. Nor was
It set forth clearly In the
newspaper reports which the
President may have previ-
ously read about the news
conference which Roger
Blough. chairman Of the
United States Steel Corp.
held last Tuesday In New
York.
It would be far better If
questions like these were sub
mitted In writing and the
answers prepared in advance
for further inquiry and COM
ment in impromptu manner
at the White House press
conference.
As q consequence of the
present practice, the public
has often been misled. The
United States Steel Corp, for
instance, actually employs,
in its Birmingham (Ala.) d.
vision, Negroes numbering
more than 50 per cent Of its
labor force there. Also, Arthur
Wiebel. the top executive of
the company In Birmingham,
has participated actively-as
an individual-in the work
OF . bi-racial commission IN
the city for several years and
recommended as far back as
1851 that Negroes be en-
ployed in the police force.
He has spent many q day
outside his office working
with bi-racial commissions
and was himself Q trustee
from 1883 10 1851 at Tuske-
gee University, q Negro col
lege in Alabama Of national
prominence.
Here Is the verbatim record
OF what Mr.. Blough said at
his news conference last
Tuesday, October 20:
mn. Wiebel has been very
helpful in the community and
has tried to carry out our
overall United States Steel
policy Of being a good citi-
zen In the community in
which we live. Now. the criti-

bility Ia the areas Of tension
81 this kind2
Ths President: Actually.
Mr.. BIough has been some
what helpful In one or two
cases that ! can think Of In
Birmingham. I don't think
he should narrowly interpret
his responsibility for the fu-
ture. That is q very influen-
tial company in Birmingham,
and he wants TO see that city
prosper, as do We all. OBJ
viously, the Federal Govern
ment cannot solve this mat
ter. So that business has a
responsibility - labor and, Of
course. every citizen. So I
would think that rarticularly
q company which Is as influ-
entail as United States Steel
in Birmingham, ] would hope
would use It's influence on the
side Of comfy between the
races.
Otherwise. the future Of
Birmingham. Of course, is not
as happy as we hope it would
be. In other words, it can't
be decided = this matter :
in Washington. It has to be
decided by citizens every
where. Mr.. Blough is an In
fluential citizen. I am sure
he will do the best he can"
There isn't a word In that
reply with which Mr.. Blough
would probably disagree, be-
cause the President was OBJ
viously talking about the ''in-
fluence" Of the company off
GERS as individuals, while the
newsman who asked the
question ct the same press
conference was inquiring
about economic pressure"
It was the latter concept
which the head Of the steel
corporation had rejected" ct
his own news conference.
There's q big difference
between what businessmen
say as individuals In dis.
cussions in community meet
ings and what they are being
asked to do by some persons
namely. to sell to or buy
from only the companies
which conform to one view
point on civil rights"
To some readers It might
appear that President Ken
nedy feels that the influence
of individual businessmen
properly exerted IL not
enough, and that economic
pressure Is a responsibility Of
all, corporations and busi-
nesses and firms. A clarified
ton by the White House
could be helpful In these
days when, to diminish racial
discrimination, more can be
accomplished by the proc
eesses of reason than by
compulsion.

Controversial 'Brinkmonshipf Term
Evolved in Private Interview
MAX FREEDMAN

We owe consideration 10
the living, said Voltaire, and
truth TO the dead. During the
years when he was Secretary
Of State in the Eisenhower
administration. John Foster
Dulles was a figure Of tow
ering achieVem ent and
h a RS h controversy. Not all
the bitterness has been bur-
led in the grave. His name
can stiH kin die the most
vehement disputes. for his
ideas have left an enduring
influence on American poll
cy. But the passage Of time
has at least set his career IN
q larger frame Of reference
than was possible during his
embattled years at the State
department.
In retrospect we can see
that he had an almost ideal
relationship Will President
Eisenhower. It is true that
Mr.. Dulles took the major
share in shaping the foreign
policy Of the country: but
Mr.. Eisenhower was never q
passive partner in this pro-
cess. We have too much evi-
dence now about the devel-
opment Of policy IN the Ei-
senhower years 10 accept this
cheap caricature. The two
men trusted each other with
mistaken confidence, and
Mr.. Dulles never tried TO sur
prise the President with sud-
den strategeTns or confront
him with the ugly persuasion
of an accomplished fact. New
evidence on the nature Of
that creative collaboration Is
contained In the memoir Of
her brother by Mrs. Eleanor
Lansing Dulles. Just pub
lished by Harcourt Brace and
World under the title The
Last Year @s-,s---

commerce would expand and
that new ideas would seize the
European mind. The Renais-
sance would have been born
without Florence.
But never 50 suddenly and
so magnificently. .- !
The greatest Of the bank
ers were the Medicis. BY the
early 1400s word began to
spread among the cropping
artists Of Italy that there
was always Q place at the
Medici table. If the artist
were good there'd be an oc-
casional bag Of gold. II he
were very good there'd be o
villa.
And so they came. Fra An
gelico, Botticelli, Leonardo da
Vinci, Raphael, and Michel
angelo flourished in Flor
ence. Ghiberti spent half his
life on the bronze doors Of the
Baptistry, Cellini wrought
wonders in gold and silver.
Giotto raised tall towers and
Brunelleschi rediscovered the
art Of building domes. You
stand below the David. You
climb the Campanile. You
stare ct the walls of the Uffizi
and the. Pitt Palace. Here
was an explosion Of genius.
But Florence was much
more than art. A century be-
fore the artists came, Dante
wrote the first classic In q
vernacular tongue and thus,
with Chaucer, pried litera-
ture out Of the hands Of the
Latin scholars. Machiayelli
composed his prince" for
Lorenzo the Second. It reads
today like q recipe for rascal
ity, but it was a serious trea-
tise on the art Of government
as opposed to the crudities of
the sword. the whip and the
rack.
Like waves flowing out
from Q cast stone the STIR
rings Of Florence washed up
on distant shores. Lorenzo the
Magnificent toyed with hui
maniSm, and two centuries
later the cult Of Reason rose
in France and began to cloud
the king-loyalty Of the Am
erican colonists. Modern re
search is q descendant Of
Leonardo's experimentation.
Calico, who knew Florence
well, was forced to recant his
heresies, but the science Of
astronomy awaited the day
he questioned the Aristoteli-
an belief that the universe
revolved around the Earth.

Ms. Dulles Sets Record STRAIGHT

Shepley with the headline:
Three Times At Brink OF
War. How Dulles Gambled
And Won"
Mrs. Dulles assures US that
the offending words quoted
by Mr.. Shepley we're used By
Mr.. Dulles In response TO a
question put by Mr.. Murphy.
It Is Mr.. Murphy's clear re-
collection that before Mr..
Dulles came to these words
about craftsmanship he spoke
for about 10 minutes on the
Communist challenge first IN
Korea, later In Indochina,
and finally in Quemoy and
Matsu. AL this background,
which would have placed the
passage about brinkmanship
in an altogether new context,
was omitted from the Life
article which Mr.. Dulles never
saw before its publication. He
refused to repudiate the IN
terview even though he was
asked to do so by the White
House and by colleagues In
the State Department. Henry
Luce. editoF-in-c hief Of
Time. issued q clarifyiug
statement but the da maGe
was done. The tape recording
was destroyed and there Is
no transcript Of the interview
but no reason exists for
doubling the acc ara c ysof
Mrs. Dulles, account. 70
Mr.. Dulles never advised
the American people to rush
to the brink IN g reckless adj
venture. His advice took the
form Of urging American
lead ers to act with cool
nerves and undismayed cour-
age once this country had
been dragged to the brink BY
a Communist challenge. That
was the essential principle
followed by President Kenne-
dy and Secretary Of State
Rusk in the Cuban crisis q
year ago. Mrs. Dulles des-
erves thanks for setting the
record straight. 9as

committee assignments 60 to
conservatives.
Mr.. Boiling was . lieutenant
