Italy,:
Coalition

The Nenni Socialists voted on
Tuesday to approve . proposed
program for q fOur-party cOali-
ton government in Italy.
Ever since November 5, when
the caretaker Premier, Giovanni
Leone, submitted his resignation,
Italy has been without a real gov
eminent.
The governmental crisis actual
ly began last June. At that time,
Aldo Moro, one Of the leaders of
the big Christian Democratic Par
ty, failed in his attempt to form q
government in union with the
leftwing Socialists and two other
smaller parties. Mr.. Leone then
was tapped by President Antonio

The first major instance was

United States Senator, visited

egged on by placard-toting girls
Sdn red, white and blue uniforms,
and by United States Representa-
tive Bruce Alger, Republican Of
Texas.
The disease continued to feed
upon itself, and when United Ma
tons Ambassador Adlai e. Steven
son spoke here In October he was
hooted, heckled, spat upon and
hit with q placard. The same
group present at the Stevenson
incident - the national indigna-
ton convention-had Indignantly
cat-called and booed wildly at a
rally the night before with every
mention Of John F. Kennedy's
name.
In the end, for someone openly
and loudly to wish the President
dead was not unusual in Dallas.
The Rev. william H. Dickinson,
IT,, pastor Of the Highland Park
Methodist Church, told Of q
bright, young church-going cou-
pie" who chortled at a dinner
party two nights before the as
sassination that they hated the

government. East Pakistan lies
less than so miles to the south
west.
The Maya rebels, whose insur-
rection has kept Indian Army
contingents busy since 1852, have
recently been rumored to be re-
ceiving arms, including automatic
rifles, from Pakistan and China.
Rawalpindi denies this. And there
is some doubt the Christian trib-
ais, who fougt so ferociously
against the Japanese in World
War II. would enlist the help Of
the Communists.
But the conflict, despite New
Delhi'S utterances to the contrary,
has shown no signs Of quieting
down. A two-month amnesty last
summer failed to induce many
surrenders. In April the rebels
derailed q train killing seven; in
July five village guards were slain
and two weeks later nine were
shot while moving along In a
convoy.

plan. Mr.. Moro must now under
take discussions on the division Of
Cabinet and ministerial posts in
the new government.
When this is done, the new gov
eminent will submit itself to q
confidence vote. With q majority
Of 387-the combined votes Of the
four parties-Mr. Moro should
have q comfortable working mar
gin in the 630-member Chamber
Of Deputies.
1t thus appears that the politi-
cal crisis which was beginning to
affect seriously some sectors Of
the Italian economy Is near an
end. This, at any rate, Is the high
hope Of the Western world.

though the accused assassin,
through an irony Of history, was
q profesSed Marxist rather than
q demented rightist, nearly all
Texans still feel a deep and an
guished guilt.
Piercing their consciences is
the nagging realization that hate
breeds hate, fanaticism fanati-
cism, and that If John F. Ken
nedy were destined to be aSsaSsi-
mated it wasn't at all illogical it
should happen in this State and
this city where those who openly
hated him could wear q veneer
Of responsibility. where denuncia-
ton Of Washington and all its
works and pomps had become q
parlor game among the fashion,
able. where crusades Of suspicion.
In the phrase Of the fallen Presi-
dent, seem so easily to spawn and
tester.
IeXanS also realize, however,
that Just as a minute, moneyed
and articulate hate group is not
representative Of Dallas. so also
Dallas and its political climate
are not representative Of all Of
Texas.
Texas know this. But reflect
ing on the incredible nightmare
that unfolded not somewhere else,
but In Texas, the world cannot
help wondering what sort of
place Texas is and what sort Of
people come from Its soil and
whether frontier Justice" remains
Q hallmark even in this day and
age.

eyes Of Texas are downcast In
shame. 1t makes little difference
to most that the accused assassin
was q Communist. As the Rev.
Mr.. Dickinson pointed out, hate
is an infectious disease and knows
no political allegiance.
"One man may have pulled the
trigger" said Mrs. j. H. Lowry
Of Dallas, but all those who had
hate in their hearts and wished
him dead share the guilt"
The day President Kennedy
came to town, however there was
none of this. 90
Dallasites instead were giving
him the sort Of warm, open, en-
thusiastic welcome which, indeed.
is far more typical Of the city and
the State. 1t was so cordial that
a moment before the fatal bullet
struck him Mrs. johnny Connally,
wife Of the Texas Governor. re-
marked to him above the friendly
din:

not some in Dallas who love you

The only discordant note was
a full page ad in a morning news
paper. 1t was signed by an in
dividual who called himself chair
man Of IAN unaffiliated and non
partisan group of citizens who

Nagaland before. Two colleges,

VenezueIo:
Strong Move

Venezuela on Friday called
for the overthrow Of Castro by

campaign and arms from Cuba
were intercepted.

hemisphere as long as Fidel Castro
exists in Cuba"

mond. or the VFW? No, 1t was
Romulo Betancourt. the liberal
leftist President of Venezuela. and
he had good reason to make the
statement. when he did. on Fri
day.
From the very early days Of
Fidel CaStro's dictatorship in
Cuba, Venezuela was marked as
the No. ! target for the spread Of
communism In the hemisphere.
Castro has made no secret Of 1t:
on the contrary he has publicly
marked the oil-rich South Ameri-
can nation for conquest through
subverSion and revolution.
In the wake Of the October.
1852 Soviet missile crisis, Presi-
dent Kennedy pledged and re-
pledged that the United States
would not permit Cuba to export
communism or arms to any other
part Of the hemisphere. But the
defiant Castro paid no attention
TO this warning. Arms shipments
and anti-United States propa-
ganda oadcaSts continued.
Neither the United States nor the
Organization Of American States
took any effective action to halt
them.

The Activist Groups

The influence Of the scores of
small activist groups, however, Is
not so puny. Often It "a felt

A year ago a group called the
Dallas County Committee TO Bring
Recognition to Merchants Selling

having certain goods removed
from shelves in two large chains
Of drug and variety stores after
staging card parties" wherein
members surreptitiously slipped
into the merchandise q card say
ing the item was Communist
made.
The campaign was Nationwide,
begun In Florida, and found quick
acceptance in many parts Of
Texas as well. The group active
In Texarkana called itself the
Committee Against the Sale Of
Communist Slave Labor Products
in America.
In another incident, the Dallas
suburb Of Highland Park with

Gun as Solution

The gun sometimes provides,
for Texans, the swift and simple
solution.
Texas juries tend to be lenient
when they can discover what they
consider q plausible reason for
provocation-adultery, for exam
pie, or even strong suspicion Of 1t.
On tie other hand juries gen.
orally give short shrift to persons
who commit crimes Of lust or
cowardice. There Is little doubt
what would be the fate Of the
assassin Of o President were he
tried in Texas.
There is nothing malevolent
about Texans but, perhaps para
doxically, violence Is no stranger
to most of them.
Many Texans, recalling their
early years in the small towns
(Which produce much Of the popu-
lation Of the big cities) tell how
they never knew q locked door,
never heard Of q thief or lecher
or anyone who would furtively
do violence. But as likely as not
they also can recall q killing or
two In full view Of witnesses, such
as the manner in which Lee Har-
vey Oswald was dispatched.
The reason Texans are the way
they are is rooted in the history
and culture Of the State, and the
same traditions and past help ex-
plain why Texas, especially GER
tain parts Of 1t, Is such o fertile
breeding ground for extremism.
