When the Governors Of all
the States get together for
consultation at their annual
conference, the system Of
State governments should
benefit. and the citizens, too.
But the conclave at Miami
this week has been given O
political emphasis which
tends to impair the useful
ness Of the institution.
Basically, no Governor has
any authority over the citi-
zens Of any other State or
their elected officials. Origi-
nally, the Governors rec
ognized that they couldn't
legislate or even adopt reso-
lutions which would be bind
ing on one another. Custo-
rnarily, therefore. the OBJ
jective in any resolution
adopted has been to proclaim
laudable principles. But these
have always been couched in
the broadeSt terms to avoid
friction among the Cover
nors.
The Governors this week
found 1t necessary to abol-
ish their resolutions commit
tee altogether. This was one
way to avoid q "filibuster"
and q provocative debate.
The civil rights issue, which
intrudes everywhere, even
into private boarding houses,
pushed Its way into the con-
ference of Governors and
threatened to disrupt the
proceedings.
Certainly, the Governors
aren't supposed to influence
one another on q program Of
civil rights, as the confer
ence is composed Of co-ordi-
nate State executives and is
not a legislative body. IN
fortunately, the passion Of

MIAMI BEACH.-In a
straight party-line vote, with
one exception, the two-to-one
Democratic majority has
sought to turn this particular
Governors Conference into a
kaffee-klatch.
Their strategy for over
whelming the Republican at
tack on the unanimity rule
for passing resolutions-gag
rule to its critics-consisted
Of throwing the baby out
with the bath. In order, as
they thought, to prevent Gov.
Nelson Rockefeller from get
ting civil rights credits, they
decided to abolish the reso-
buttons committee.
AS an exercise in creative
politics, the Democratic per-
Torrance is bizarre. There
is still nothing to stop Gov
errors from offering resolu-
tons at will. Indeed, Repub-
leans promptly began hud-
ding on ways and means of
forcing special issues, includ-
ing civil rights, on the con-
ference for consideration.
The result could be cha
otie, with Governors COM
PEELED to answer the roll call
on all manner Of contro-
versial questions. The DEM
ocratS, Of course, are more
or less obligated to stick to-
gether in their anti-resolu-
ton shelter.
Gov. Rockefeller's prompt
claim that his Is now the
civil rights party Is mod
erately silly, but If he is a
political corpse. as some peo-
pie contend. he is an ex-
tremely lively one.

refused to evade the issue or
accept the Goldwater STRAIT

and more or less writing off

the first chord when in an

The new crux OF the civil
rights struggle, with consid-
cradle implications for the
Kennedy administration, is
whether the Negroes can be
persuaded to divert their
energies from demonstrating
to registering voters after the
march on Washington.
The broad hope is that the
march will mark the emo
tional climax Of the wave of
protests which began last
April and that the young
militants who are setting the
pace Of the protests can then
be persuaded that their at
tack should be shifted from
the streets to the ballot boxes.
Most Of the leaders, in
GLIDING Martin Luther King,
are reported to be responsive
to the point that the wave of
violence and near violence
cannot be sustained indefi-
nitely without serious dam
age to their cause, particu-
larry among the white mod
crates.
In Southern areas where
important concessions toward
equality have been negotiated
In the climate Of the past
three months, the white atti-
tude is discerned to be stiff
fleming as a consequence of
the continued demonstrations
The sympathy for the Negro
position is being eroded by
concern over the violations Of
law and order.
The pattern of a swift
shift from agitation to voter
registration was set in Bir-
mingham last spring by one
Of Mr.. Kings aides, Andrew
Young, who persuaded a
large number of aroused fol-
lowers to concentrate, after
the demonstrating was over,
on a registration campaign.
The first weeks effort put
$500 new Negro voters on
the books.
The same transition was

latter may well prove to be
much more dangerous than
the former. For we face the
established church Of COM
munism in the first instance
and the church militant in
the second.
One might put 1t this way
with the Russians we face
what can be called cold
peace" That is, a situation
in which both sides talk as II
they are at peace, without
formally ratifying the peace.
With the Chinese we remain
at cold war--that is, both
sides talking as If they were
at war without actually de-
claring war. The difference,
as history flows along, can be
considerably greater than one
Of semantics.
The break between Russia
and China is an historic
event, and 1t carries the seeds
OF profound troubles between
the two. 1t may be this
alone that is prompting Mr..
Khrushchev TO make his ap-
parent gestures Of peace TO-
ward the West: II may be this
In coincidence with the seri-
GUS stalling Of the machinery

Alliance. But those so easily
and quickly convinced that
this time peace has really
broken out we're singing the
same joyous song after the
1855 summit meeting in Ge-
neva; they sang II again at
the time Of Camp David. AZ
ter the first affair, the world
had Hungary; after the Sec
ond 1t had the Paris summit
fiasco and the Wall.
It remains the course OF
wisdom to pay more attention
to this Western alliance and
less to Mr.. Khrushchev's trou-
bles with China. Until we
know much more than we do
now. 1t remains a better pos
ture to lean on Mr.. Khrush-

ner, and not in the manner Of
those who, when he steps

Yet all the Governors have
serious and far-reaching

valescing from a prolonged
illness and a friend took time
to write a note or send a
card to cheer you up. There
may have been a chatty let
ter from an old school friend,
just to let you know she was
thinking about you and
wishing you we'll, or a little
personal note of appreciation
from your club president for
helping her plan the club
dinner.
These little missives Of
courtesy mean so much be-
cause the writer's were not
required to write them. Their
thoughtful consideration Of
you prompted them to do so.
This brings to mind q
question one might ask him
self. How often do I put my
self out to write that note of
congratulation, or that .ex-
preston of thanks for a
kindness someone has done
me?" Too frequently, ! am
afraid, If we are honest with
ourselves, the answer is mot
often" We enjoy receiving
these expressions Of congrat-
ulation, sympathy, or good
wishes, but we take them for
granted and do not return
In kind when the opportu-
nifty arises for us to write
such a note to q friend or
acquaintance.
There is an old saying that
"a letter in the hand is worth
a hundred good intentions"
I had this brought home to
me with great force the other
day.
A minister, whom I had
known for many years, died
very suddenly. A big hearted,
kindly man, he always had
time to listen to your woes.

time, Nothing was too much
trouble. He became Ill sew
eral months ago, and for
weeks I had intended to go
and see him, or write him a
note. But the rush of my
daily life gave me the excuse
to put 1t off from day to day.
! never quite got around to
it. Now it is too late.
Writing such a letter is
really not difficult. But I
never know what to say!" is
the excuse one hears as to
why the intention never be-
comes a reality. The follow
ing suggestions may prove
helpful:
Write in a sincere, simple
manner, as though you were
talking. In the first para
graph mention the purpose Of
the note, in the next a men,
ton of some subject interest
ing to both you and the per-
son to whom you are writing.
The final paragraph should
not be too abrupt, but it can
be short and lead into the
closing when an expression
such as "Kindest regards to
the rest of the family" is
used. Remember that the
note doesn't need to be long
to accomplish its purpose. Be
brief, sincere and natural in
your comments, and you can't
go wrong.
Remember, too, that when
you write these notes is al
most as important as what
you say in them. If they are
not written when people need
to receive them, there isn't
much point in writing them

planes for Is minutes yester-
day, the Army opened specula-
ton concerning the where
abouts of underworld informer
Joseph Valachi.
Mr.. Valachi has been telling
Federal authorities what he
knows of the operations of
a national crime syndicate
which the informer identified
by the name Cosa Nostra. The
60-year-old convict was doing
his talking at Fort Monmouth,
where he was under close guard
at the Army's Signal Corps
Center.
During the Is minutes that
Army authorities curtailed civ
ilian use of Monmouth Airport
here, two military planes took
off from the field.
The airport is 9 miles
northeast of Fort Monmouth.
Airport Manager E. I. Brown
said military officials would
not tell us the purpose of
the flight. They said it was
secret"
Afterward, a spokesman at
Fort Monmouth declined to
answer questions on Valachi's
whereabouts or the possibility
that he had been moved. The
spokesman referred question:
ers to the Justice Department
in Washington.
In the Capital, neither the
Justice Department nor the
Pentagon would comment.
1t was learned last week
that Valachi had been brought
to Fort Monmouth from the
Federal penitentiary in At
lanta, where he was serving a
life sentence for killing a fell
low inmate.
The underworld repeatedly
has placed a 100000 price tag
on the informer's head.

The chief speaker, the Rev.
Thich Giac Due, told the crowd
that "the police are harassing

The youths sat down, how
ever, when monks and Budd-

ordered them back.
In Hue, 5000 persons turned
out yesterday for the funeral
of the Rev. THIGH Tieu Dieu,
one of two monks who COM

The monks son, Prof. Doan

The Buddhist struggle ap-

went on strike an announced
they would boycott examina-

SAIGON, Aug. 10 (AP).-
Buddhist leaders said today a
Wet NameSe army officer got
into a shooting fight with
Buddhist demonstrators in
Da Nang yesterday. Several
demonstrators we're reported
wounded and the officer was
beaten.
Buddhist priests in Hue said
they had received news of the
incident in a cable from monks
in Da Nang, a coastal town in
central South Wet Nam.
According to the Buddhist
account, a demonstration of
about 10000 Buddhist followers
began late yesterday in a Da
Nang street. An officer iden-
titled as Capt. Vo Thanh Xuan
repeatedly tried to drive his
jeep into the crowd, and fired
shots when he found himself
surrounded.
The cable said five or six
demonstrators were wounded,
after which the crowd pulled
the officer from the jeep, beat
him, and burned his jeep.
Rescued by Scouts
Buddhist Boy Scouts inter-
vened and dragged the officer
to safety, the message said.
In Saigon, meanwhile, Budd-
hist monks continued a 49,
hour hunger strike and
university students boycotted
classes in Hue as the BuddhistS
stepped up their campaign
against the government.
Authorities sought to head
off further outbreaks, but an
other young monk was re-
ported determined to burn him
self to death as a protest
against the regime of President
Ngo Dinh Diem, a Roman
Catholic.
So far four monks and one
nun have committed fiery SUI
icide to press Buddhist de-
mands for religious equality
and government reforms. The
government denies Buddhist
charges that their religion is
being prosecuted.
Coordinate Protest
Buddhist delegations shuttled
back and forth between Saigon
and Hue, 400 miles to the
north, to coordinate the anti
government movement in the
two centers.
About 1900 demonstrators,
mostly young people, crowded
around Saigon's main pagoda
yesterday. They cheered anti
government speeches by the
fasting monks and waved BAN
ners accusing the government
of barbarism.
Police stood watch but did
not interfere with the l2-hour
demonstration, the biggest the
Buddhists have held.
The monks announced they
had started a 48-hour hunger
strike and asked the crowd to
join them for one day. Youths
in the gathering shouted as
sent.
At one point. several thou
sand youths started to advance
