It may well be that the
very nature Of operating a
business which caters to the
general public will be found
to be so affected by the in
terests Of the State that it
must be open to all, white
and colored. The fact that
such a business abuts a pub
lie street or must get public
licenses Of one form or an
other may be found to invest
it with the character Of a
public facility.
The morality of personal
choice, while not yet judged
legally by the Supreme Court,
has always been in question
in the Kennedy administra-
ton. This was first seen in
the advocacy by the Ken
nedys Of the admission Of
Negroes to all-white private
clubs, and more recently in
the Presidents proposal that
more Negroes and whites
visit each others homes and
share each others eating
habits. In the District Of
Columbia the question is ris-
ing as to whether a person
offering a home for public
sale can legally refuse to sell
to a Negro for the sole rea-
son of the prospective buy
er's color.
In view Of these trends
of thought, the observations
of the courts lone dissenter,
Justice Harlan, are worthy
of long consideration. He
said:
"An individuals right to
restrict the use of his Trop-
erty, however unregenerate q
particular exercise Of that
right may be thought. lies
beyond the reach Of the
Fourteenth Amendment.
Freedom of the individual
to choose his associates or
his neighbors; to use and
dispose Of his property as he
sees fit; to be irrational, ar
bitrary, capricious. even un-
just in his personal relations
are things all entitled to a
large measure Of protection
from government interfer-
ence."

could lead any group Of Amer
leans, no matter how fana-
tical or misguided, to preach
race hatred at this particular
time in our history. The De-
partment Of Justice has al
ways been aware of a risk
which has been hidden from
general view by the sornber
events now taking place in
the South. The department
knows that the sparks Of
hate flying about the South

make the disturbed racial

tried to justify their conduct
by saying the rally was an

who challenged the National

be impregnable against all

Rally of Nuzi-type Group in YorkviIIe
Is Believed Raising Large Issues
MAX FREEDMAN

The rally in Yorkville over
the week end raises larger
issues than those posed by
this challenge of the neo-
Nazis in a local setting. The
demonstration was intended
to be the signal for similar
indictments against Jews and
Negroes in others parts Of
the country. Nothing was
omitted by the National Rem
aissance Party to make its
challenge flagrant and un-
mistakable.
1t chose a district in New
York that in the years before
1889 often saw organized vio-
lence and intimidation car
ried out by the Bundist
movement which drew its in
Spiration from Nazi Ger
many. In dress and deport-
ment the members of the
new party plainly modelled
themselves on the Storm
Troopers. Their meeting was
widely advertised amid cir
cumstances of civic protest
which heralded the fighting
which later took place. The
police were honorahly loyal
to their duty of protecting
the speaker and giving the
meeting at least an outside
chance of proceeding with
out violence.
Apparently the meeting
was organized on the prin-
ciple upheld by George Ber-
nard Shaw that anyone has
the right to say what he
wants and anyone else has
the right to knock him down
for it. Martyrdom is the test.
Well. these ugly little mer-
chants Of hate in Yorkville
are no martyrs. They packed
up their prejudices. at least
for one day, and were glad
of police protection to es-
cape the fury of a hostile
crowd. The rally was an ig-
nominious failure.

There's worry about the
image" Of America being
created abroad nowadays.
Secretary of State Dean Rusk
attributes 1t to the contro-
versy over racial discrimina-
ton.
But Mr.. Rusk doesn't tell
the whole story-that part
which is conveniently over
looked by almost everybody
because it's easier to do so
than face the facts. The facts
are that not a single law has
ever been passed by Congress
requiring desegregation or
integration Of public schools,
restaurants or hotels, and not
a single law has been adopted
prohibiting discrimination in
employment.
Americas racial controver-
sy today points up another
omission in the field of law.
The Supreme Court Of the
United States, consisting of
nine men. is not a legislature.
1t cannot lawfully substitute
its will for that Of Congress.
But it has done so. Also, two
Presidents Of the United
States - in 1857 and 1862,
respectively-have used Fed
eral troops to secure the en-
forcement Of court orders
relating to school integration,
but no laws covering the sub
ject have been passed by
Congress. This creates abroad
an image" Of dictatorship
tactics.
The Fourteenth Amend
ment itself makes no men,
ton Of schools or private
or public employment, but
declares all citizens have q

RICHARD WILSON

After about 20 years Of
turbulent step-by-step prog
ress toward race equality, the
point has now been reached
where the morality of per-
sonal choice comes stronger
into question.
Many people, particularly
in the Northern States, have
philosophically supported
racial integration as a prin-
ciple Of American govern
ment while conducting their
own lives so as to minimize
racial contacts. Or, these
philosophical supporters of
integration have INDUCED in
token contacts which give
the semblance Of avoiding
hypocrisy.
For more than 25 years,
beginning in 1898, the courts
have been ordering the
elimination Of segregation in
public facilities, most notably
in the public schools, but also
in transportation, and to a
lesser degree in housing and
on public golf courses,
beaches, swimming pools, Ii
braries and amusement parks.
The major emphasis - in
fact, it may be said the only
legal emphasis-in this field
has been on the equal use
and benefits Of public facil-
tiles.
We find now, as a result
OF the supreme Courts rul-
ings in the sit-in demonstra-
ton cases. the introduction
of a newer element which has
been implicitly present all the
time but not so strongly
brought forward.
This is the question Of pri-
vate segregation.
