Contrary TO the accusa-
ton Of Harvey H. Hewitt, I
suspect that NEGRO leaders"
have not publicly showered
condemnation upon Adam
Clayton Powell for the sim
pie reason that they view the
Congressman with deeply
mixed emotions-and evalu-
alton. There are doubtless
few, II any. who are not Of
Tended at his absenteeism
and his tax-paid peregrina-
tons. (The existence Of other
offenders makes matters
worse, not better.)
Negro leaders" know,
however, that Representative
Powell would hardly be at
tackled SO voluminously, II he
were not so unyielding q
fighter for the rights Of the
minority 10 which he belongs.
In short. the Congressman,
despite his flamboyant exhi-
hitlonism. is q person not
without relative worth.
AS the New York Times
stated. the great pity is that
so talented an individual
seems TO follow the worst ex-
amples IN so many ways.
Mr.. Hewitt has noticed. I
hope. that. though there has
been in the Negro commu-
nifty no uproar Of repudia-
ton OF Mr.. Powell, there has
been no Juror Of defense.

Your reference TO the fact

TO obscure the fact that the

the spokesman for manage

In Q recent news con-
ference President Kennedy
emphasized that the major
danger to Latin America is
not the presence Of troops in
Cuba, but the desperate con-
ditions among the people in
the countries themselves. The
ignorance, poverty and un-
rest make the whole Of Latin
America "the most critical
area In the world today"
OF the 20 Latin American
countries, 10 Of them bave an
illiteracy rate Of more than
so per cent, with Haiti lead
ing at 89.3 per cent. Others
are Brazil. 51.4 per cent;
Guatemala, 70.3 per cent;
Honduras, 66.3 per cent; Mic
aragua. 62.6 per cent: Peru,
SIS per cent: Bolivia, $50
per cent, etc.
II seems strange to this
writer at least that the
Roman Catholic Church
which has dominated Latin
America for 400 years should
spend It's money and effort
to build Q parochial school
system In the United States
TO rival the public school
system when their own peo-
pie are In such desperate
need Of schools In Central
and South America, especially
50 when the illiteracy rate In
the United States Is only 2
per cent.
Can It be that the HER
archy Is more interested in
segregating Roman Catholic
children here in this land Of
democracy than In giving

ton and a chance 10 better

Wisconsin Revisited

There was an interesting change In
the news in the weekend stories about
New York Governor Rockefeller's ad-
dress to "sellout crowd of 2,140 persons
at $100-a-plate dinner" in Milwaukee
on Saturday night. For in early Deem
Der Of 1859, Mr.. Rockefeller's mealtime
speaking engagements in Wisconsin
were significantly less popular-even
at lower prices than 500. At Green
Bay, fewer than 200 showed up for break
fast, and at Milwaukee there were large
blocs Of vacant seats at lunchtime.
The explanation then was that the
conservative leadership Of the Repub-
lican Party in Wisconsin liked Richard
M. Nixon, not Mr.. Rockefeller, as a pres
idential prospect, and 1t was being shown
by the sparse attendance at the visiting
Governors official appearances. Indeed,
q. o. p. leaders were accused OF buying
up tickets-in order to keep people away.
Mr.. Rockefeller was travelling then, in
cidentally, for the purpose Of testing
public and organizational reaction to a
possible bid for the party's presidential
nomination. What he found out, and
Wisconsin was a key State in his explor-
ing, led the Governor to announce on
December 26 that he was not a candi-
date-partly because those who will
control" the @. o. p. convention stand
opposed to any contest" The fact that
he changed his mind a bit later was
not due to any encouragement from
Wisconsin.
But now perhaps It's wisconsin, or
rather its Republican leaders, that have

shows that I was elected
overwhelmingly with the
highest vote in the 25-year
history Of CHA.
My principal objections to
the new proposals are as fol-
lows: (a) They deprive the
members Of CHA Of the right
which they have always en-
joyed Of voting on proposed
dues increases or changes In
medical services. Cb) They
unilaterally cancel O contrac-
tual debt owed to thousands
Of CHA members. (c) They
eliminate q traditional CHA
method of voting by proper
tional representation, q sys-
tenn designed to assure q
respect for minority view
points. I'd They permit sub
stantive amendments of the
bylaws by the Board Of
Trustees per Sc without re-
course to the membership.
I predict that the effects
Of such bylaw changes, II
adopted would be: ID dues
increases which would be
larger and more frequent
than in the past and CD the
elimination Of membership
control by the substitution Of
an impersonal corporate type
Of organization.
In short. CHA would be-
come q Blue Cross" type Of
organization rather than one
guided by the principles Of
the cooperation movement
which have underlined its
great success In the field Of
comprehensive prepaid medi-
cal care during the past
quarter Of q century.

Interesting Questions

Apparently because Of the
Supreme Court decision on
"featherbedding we are now
faced with the possibility Of
q nationwide rail strike. This
situation poses several In
teresting questions:
Is It not true that the
representatives Of labor are
now as arbitrary and as de-
fiant as were the representa-
tives Of capital In the late
'20s and early '30s?
Should they not be re-
strained by Government In
the same way as was capital
through the passage Of the
SEC laws and other legisla-
ton?
Is the defiance Of one
decision Of the Supreme
Court, namely, that on
"featherbedd ing," to be
treated any differently by
the present Administration
from that accorded another
decision Of the Supreme
Court In regard to segrega-
ton?
Is there to be distinction
in favor Of the railway
unions?
Are the heads Of these
unions on the same footing
with Hoffa. Reuther or Nc
Donald, and have all labor
leaders in their acts and In
the investigation thereof
been handled alike. both by
Congress and BY the Depart
ment Of Justice?

Incentive for Students

The Department Of General
Administration In their pro-
posal to the Commissioners
Is advocating the elimina-
ton Of junior high school
shops in future school con-
struction.
/ would like to cite a few
important reasons why In
dustrial arts shops Gas they
are called should not be
eliminated: In fact, why
the industrial arts program
should be strengthened.
There is q misconception
that junior high school
shops" are vocational in ma
ture. It Is true that for po-
tential drop-outs and pupils
in the basic track we try to
teach as many saleable skills
as possible. Many potential
drop-outs. due to the shop
program, remain In school
because they realize skills
must be learned to secure q
job.
For the ACCIDENTALLY tai
ented child, industrial arts
offers the opportunity to
meet the requirements Of q
chronological culture. Indus
trial arts is an integral part
Of the total educational proc
ess Of the student. It provides
opportunities for students to
participate in experiences In
industrial skills and proc
esses. These experiences also
make use Of many academic
skills learned In other sub
jects.
With our soaring cost Of
living all potential home
owners would do well to know
how to make minor repairs
In the home. The saving on
q simple repair Of replacing
q washer could very well save
the home-owner S. to $40.
Many such skills In home re-
pairs are learned in the shop.
A poll Of junior high school
principals would show the
need for more shops than
they now have. One of the
reasons for the high drop
out rate Is that to this type
Of child q more meaningful
curriculum Is needed. Most
children viii go into the labor
market as technicians, trades
men. office workers and serv-
ice workers. They need to be
job-oriented and taught some
basic shop skills.
As a teacher Of industrial
arts. and now the supervis-
ing director Of industrial
arts in the d. c. public
schools, ! have found the
tremendous interest that In
dustrial arts has for these
children that rebel against
our formal type Of education.
Industrial arts teachers have
had boys who would stay out
Of school and Just report for
their shop class.
To deprive boys and girls
Of the right to explore ave-
nues of experiences other
than the academic subjects Is
an injustice. Children have q
diversity Of talents. We should
assist students in discovering
and developing these talents.

Antarctic Ice River Creeps Along

THE POLITICAL MILL
Senator GoIdwoter and the SoutI,
BY GOULD LINCOLN

Southern Republicans are
out. apparently, TO take q
leading part in the conserva-
tive wing Of the q. o. p. The
growth Of the party In the
Southern States in recent
years is still not monument
tai but to far greater num-
bers than existed q score of
years ago. The first explo-
sion for Senator Barry Gold
water Of Arizona for Repub-
lican presidential nominal
ton occurred In South Caro-
lima in 1860. NOW the chair
man Of the Republican Party
Of Texas, Peter ODonnell, is
claiming that the Arizona
Senator. the chief rallying
post for the conservatives,
can carry all the States Of
the South, except perhaps
Louisiana, In q race against
President John F. Kennedy
next year-and win the
national election. The South,
the Midwest and the Noun
tain States, he says. can elect
Senator Goldwater.
Conservative leadership in
the Republican Party has
Travelled from section TO sec
ton. In earlier days, its bas-
ton was in the East, in New
England and the Middle
Atlantic States. Aldrich, Hale
and Penrose were great names
in the O. o. p. The Midwest
was turning what was then
called progressive" with
Dolliver Of iowa. La Toilette
Of Wisconsin, and Norris Of
Nebraska as pioneers. Re-
publicans In the Southern
States were mighty scarce
and Of the few. many were
Negroes. They were effective
only when they went as, del
egates to Republican Nation
al Conventions where presi-
Dental candidates were to be
named. And they we're usually
found voting for "conserva-
tive" candidates. Eventually,
conservativism moved into
the States Of the Midwest.
THE sons Of the Wild
Jackass," as the late Senator
George Moses Of New Hamp-
shire called the ultra-pro-
gressives. have been over
Swallowed. In the East today,
the trend Of the party
leaders has been toward more
progressive thinking-a trend
that really had its start
in the q. o. p. with Pres
ident Theodore Roosevelt of
New York, who had spent
some years Of his early life
in the West. The two Repub-
lean Governors Of great
Eastern States, Rockefeller Of
New York, and Scranton Of
Pennsylvania, are not classed
as conservatives"

through the wall here and
there.
Mr.. oDonnell was not
content In an interview with
reporters merely to declare
his belief that Senator Gold
water can carry the South
and defeat Mr.. Kennedy. He
declared that II the Republic
cans should nominate Gov.
Rockefeller. he would be
defeated for the presi-
dency-predicting first that
Gov. Rockefeller would not
carry New York and second
that he would not be ac-
ceptable to the Southern
States. He strongly minated
that II Gov. Rockefeller were
the party nominee, Republic
cans and anti-Kennedy DEM
ocrats might undertake the
formation Of q third party
- q conservative party. It
is not unnatural that Mr..
ODonnell. q conservative and
q Goldwater supporter. should
try to undermine Gov. Rookie
Teller as q candidate. The
New Yorker is considered the
most likely choice for the
O. o. p. presidential noni-
nation. If he runs next year.
He's the man, the conserva-
tives in North and South
feel, who must be knocked
out Of the ring before their
candidate can have the nom
ination.
Declines Candidacy
To this date. Senator Gold
water has declined to become
q candidate, even q receptive
candidate, for the presiden-
tial nomination, despite all
the urging of his supporters.
He may never agree. He con-
tinues to insist that he Is q
candidate for reelection to
the Senate - period. The
Arizona s enator Is an at
tractive figure, q strong
speaker for the causes he
supports. and an able one.
He has admirers all over the
country. If he should be
nominated for President and
accept, the conservatives
would have a chance to prove
their claims that one OF their
group could sweep the coun-
try = that millions Of con-
sentative voters would 60 to
the polls who do not bother
to support either q progress
sive Republican or o liberal

jor turning of the political

Goldwater be nominated and
submerged on election day,
what excuse would the con-
servatives have to offer then
for q defeat2 The ole cry Of
the standpat Republican,

win do the rest - would be

The increase IN the num-
Der Of Republican voters In
the South Is due to Demo-

unable to stomach the poll

ODonnell insists that big

There is q deeply buried
male sex center in the brain.
Experiments demonstrating
this have been reported to
the American Association for
the Advancement Of Science
here by Drs. Eva Vaughan
and Alan E. Fisher, psycholo-
gists Of the University OF
Pittsburgh.
The center Is located In
the region Of the brain stem
known as the hypothalamus.
The two psychologists
observed results Of electrical
stimulation Of this very min
ute area In 80 male labora-
tory rats. Electrodes were

After the rats recovered
from the operation, the re-
port says, there was q very
significant increase Of sexual
drive and sexual behavior of
ell sorts.
Only Rats Tested
No comparable brain area
has yet been demonstrated
for females. Thus far the
Pittsburgh experiments have
been confined to rats. The
probability that there Is q
comparable region in the
brain Of man, however, is
quite high. Human and rat
brain areas have generally
proved quite comparable IN

or infection Of this area may
explain considerable abnor-
NAL sexual behavior in hu-

Washington expressed the wish
in l777 that our Printers were
more discreet in many Of their
publications, our Presidents
and the press have engaged in
what the jargon Of the cold
war would call "a contest for

The winning side in this con-
test is debatable. The advent of
television has given the Pres

even presidential corrections
rarely catch up with those mis-

appear in the press. For ex-

Pressure groups usually have
less direct effect on the Presi-

the Congress- large and sep

While this discussion is con-
cerned primarily with White

the Congress will inevitably at
tempt to affect those decisions
in much the same way as the
White House attempts to affect
the decisions of the Congress:
i.e., legislators will privately OF
