Washington. The shallow
statesmen Of cheap solutions
are making quite a noise in
Texas. They are loud: they
have disruptiye aims: and
they do much mischief. It is
easy for an outsider to make
jokes about them. But what
good does that do?
These people have to be
opposed and answered by
other citizens of Texas, not
always without risk. for con-
troversy in this State is very
robust and is not above per-
sonal abuse. All honor, then,
to the brave citizens who have
joined battle with these ex-
tremists. 1t is much easier to
laugh at the extremists from
the security of some North
ern city than it is to chal-
lenge them on the spot. They
are being challenged, with
facts and courage, and this
contest is worth attention,
since the battle concern S
many of the first principles
of decency and responsibility
in public life.
I should report that I
found much greater interest
in the unbalanced budget and
the size of Federal expend-
itures in Washington than I
did in civil rights. Texas, Of
course, belongs to the South
west as well as to the South
itself. and Houston is one of
the great cities of America.
So the situation here should
not be taken as a fair sample
Of Southern opinion.
All the same, the fact re-
mains that Houston has a
pretty good record on civil
rig hts, that many students
and professors think they
can make more progress to-
ward desegregation if only

About $4,000 revolutionar-I
les, planted in Asian countries
by Uncle Sam, are doing their
ingratiating best to subvert the
traditional Asian way of life.
These men are American SOL.
diers, sailors, airmen and Mar
ines stationed in countries like
South Korea, Okinawa. Nation
alist China, South Wet Nam
and Thailand.
Few of the men realize that
they are revolutionaries. But
the fact is, their civic action"
"people-to-people" and mill
tary a dviser" jobs put them
squarely in the vanguard Of the
Far East's political, social and
economic revolutions.
No one can say what the
long-term effect of the Ameri-
can Subversion will be. There is
no reason to believe the Asians
simply will pick up the Ameri
can way of life.
Liberalizing Influence
A visitor to the Far East can
see many signs, however, that
the soldiers are having a liber-
alizing influence.
1t is ironic that a group Of
Americans viewed as conserva-
tive If not reactionary at home
are liberals in the Far East.
There are two reasons for this.
First, American military peo-
pile are not as conservative as
they are often pictured by their
fellow citizens. And, second, in
many Far East countries even
a John Bircher looks liberal.
Asia would be going through
some kind of revolution, any,
way, with or without Americas
help. More and more ordinary
people are hearing about the
better things in life, and they
want some.
They want a bigger voice in
govern ment. more schools,
more doctors, more food, more
luxuries, more dignity and
more respect.
The Communists offer them
all these things and may well
take over the revolution in
most of presently free" Asia.
Winning of Peoples Vital
Every Asian government does
its best to control and channel
this tidal wave, however.
The American military men
stimulate the revolution by CIV
ing some of the better things to
the people, by encouraging re-
form and by personal example

Rusk Sees Germans;
Double Standard Hit

phasized that Western Europe
has been trading heavily with
the Soviet Union for is years
without exacting any political
concessions in return. Mr..
Adenauer took the line that
the United States should not
sell wheat to the Russians
without exacting a political
price.
Casualties Recalled
The same sources criticized
European nations for thinking
exclusively of their own ma
tional situations and disregard
ing problems elsewhere in the
world. They pointed out that
the United States has suffered
100000 casualties since World
War II in the struggle against
Communism, and said West
Germany's casualties in the
same struggle were negligible.
Mr.. Rusk was obliged to dis
cuss the troop issue in Bonn
largely because Exercise Big
Lift sharpened fears of a U. S.
troop withdrawal. The U. S.
sources said Big Lift never had
any connection with the level
of forces in Europe. They add
ed that the matters are wholly
separate.
Mr.. Rusk was to see Foreign
Minister Gerhard Schroeder
late today after comforting
with United States ambassa-
doris in Europe who have gath
cred here. He met yesterday
with Chancellor Ludwig Err
hard and Defense Minister
Kali 1--WE Won Hassel. He speaks
tomorrow in Frankfurt at the

! tain to George c. Marshall.

Soldiers to Do Work
American soldiers all over
the world are under orders to
carry out civic action" pro-
grams-that is, use American
military equipment and soldiers
to build roads, sewers, etc.
In Wet Nam, the "etc."
specifically includes assistance
in setting up local government,
training hamlet administrators
and citizenry in establishing
market-places, schools, dis
pensaries, information centers,
chapels. pagodas and water
supply points and formulating
and administering programs Of
self-help and scientific i'm
provement n education, agri-
culture, and disease control,
according to Brig. Gen. Frank
A. Osmanski, visiting here
. from Wet Nam.
The ''people-to-people" pro-
gram. mandatory for all serv-
icemen. is an effort ordered by
, the President, to get Americans
acquainted with foreigners and
to pass on some of American
ideas.
Democratic by Asian Standards
The American Army may
!. seem like an evil dictatorship
to an American draftee, but it
is a refreshingly democratic
institution by the standards of
most Asian countries.
And each American is an in
dependent. self-assured combi-
nation critic and supporter Of
his Government, a ain in a
style that symbolizes real social
change to most Asians.
American diplomats try to
spread the same ideas. But the
handful of diplomats can do
little compared with the job
accomplished by the $50, 900
military men in the Far East.

SAIGON, Wet Nam, Oct. 26
(AP).-About 5000 Wet Namese
troops and $40 million worth
of United States arms were
paraded in front of President
Ngo Dinh Diem today in OBJ
servance of the eighth an
niversary of his ascension to
power.
For As minutes, tanks. planes,
troops and the paramilitary
women's corps, founded by Mrs.
Ngo Dinh Nhu, moved past

the traditional National Day
parade. Mrs. Nhu, sister-in-law

In the stand with Mr.. Diem
were seven United Nations

were the palace elite guard and

Mr.. FDklund recently returned from
tour Of the For Eust.
These efforts are deliberate.
In fact. at the convention here.
this week of the Association Of
the United States Army, most
speakers listed civic action" or
winning peoples" as one of the
most important Army assign
ments.
For instance, Gen. James F.
Collins, commander in chief Of
the United States Army in the
P acific. told the convention
that winning military battles
in a guerrilla war is not
enough. for insurgency or guer-
rilla war is more a symptom
than a cause.
Winning peoples is vital to
winning or preventing battles;
winning or preventing battles
is vital to winning peoples. And
the Army has an interest and
function in BOTH" he said.
And perhaps of greater
long-term import is the effort
of United States advisers to in.
doctrinate Allied armies with g
sense of mission, not only tc
provide security but also to en-.
nance social welfare and eco.
nomic progresS-thereby amel-
iorating the grievances around
which communism instigates
and perpetuates insurgency"
When Gen. Collins and other
civilian and military lie ders
urged the Army to get into this
social and economic revolution,
no one blinked.
Military-EcOnOmic- Political
Any visitor to the American
armed services in the Far East
would see that the m Hillary
men cannot escape this reform
er's role.
An American adviser in Wet
Nam, for instance, finds that
, the military job cannot be dis
tinguished from economic and
political uplift.
If the villages don't get some
self government, a chool, a
dispenSary and better SANTA
/ ton, no amount of m ilitary
protection will keep it out of
the hands of the Red guerril-
las.
j So the adviser works, with
! Wet Namese officials who hold
both civilian and military
| posts. He teaches them that
i. the farmers will cooperate
!, with the government better if
i. the officials kiss a few babies.

Potmun Rups Interest Rise
To Curb Dollar Outflow

NEW YORK (AP). - Chair
man Patman Of the House
Banking Committee says it is
ridiculous and terribly wrong to
raise short-term interest rates
to help the Nations balance of
payments position.
II think we can show that
interest rates don't have to be
raised" the Texas Democrat
said in disclosing that his COM
mittee will soon hold hearings
on the balance of payments
problem.
Mr.. Patman told q news con-
ference that in past years many
officials said interest rates had
to be raised to prevent infla-
ton.
when that one was worn
threadbare they started to use
the balance of payments def
icit," he declared.
United States monetary off,
cials have been attempting to
prop short-term rates to keep
them competitive with overseas
rates and thus prevent any out
flow Of United States capital
seeking higher return. Such an
outflow would tend 70 worsen
the payments deficit.
