NATO Plan Seen Back on the Track
After Upset From SkYboLt Issue

These plans were just be-
ginning to jell last fall when
the Pentagon cancelled Sky
bolt, the missile the British
were counting on to deliver
their nuclear weapons. For
the handful Of knights on
the Tory back benches who
(almost alone) really believe
in an independent British
deterrent, cancellation was
an unmitigated disaster. For
the Macmillan government,
cancellation opened q splen-
did, demagogic opportunity
to firm up ties with the
backbenchers. The Prime
Minister has made the most
of 1t.
For a starter, though he
knew well that the end of
Skybolt was near, he struck
the Dunkirk pose of an ally
deserted. On the basis of that
supposed grievance, he next
extracted from the President
the Nassau agreement max
ing available Polaris in lieu
of Skybolt. In return, Wash
mgton won a vague British
Endorsement Of the Multi
lateral Force. But further to
underline the independence
of his deterrent, Mr.. Mac
milan inserted into the Mas
sau accord Paragraph Six
providing for an Inter-Allied
Nuclear force with national
contributions which could be
withdrawn to meet national
needs. That paragraph en-
abled Mr.. Macmillan's press
officers to put it about that
Nassau authorized Britain to
use nuclear forces If Kuwait
was threatened, or Borneo-
red meat for the Tory back
WoodSmen.
Washington swallowed its
irritation, and set about
mastering support for the
Multilateral Force. 1t was
forthcoming in Bonn and
in Rome. But in London,
the British insisted on prior
ity for the Inter-Allied force.
Though this country has only
a slight interest in that pro-
ject because it does not ad-
dress the German problem,
and though the French en-
tertained the most elaborate
suspicious of the British pur-
pose, the United States went
along once again. For the
last six weeks, American di-
plomacy has been organizing

JOSEPH KRAFT

The Ottawa NATO meet
ing marks the end of a long
detour which British foolish
ness has been able to impose
on American policy, thanks
to the administrators mis-
handling of the Skybolt is
sue. For the first time since
fall, the way is open to re-
gain the high road of this
country's NATO-nuclear pol
icy. And the administration
has a chance to explain why
that policy now takes shape
in the project for a Multi
lateral Nuclear Force.
The high road of policy
has been opposition to the
spread Of nuclear weapons
even to allies. Among the
many good reasons for that
stand, probably the best is
fear Of what would happen
If Germany became a nuclear
power. That fear took on
substance when Britain de-
veloped, and France began
to develop, deterrent forces.
For the one thing no Ger
man politician can accept is
discrimination within the al
lance. 1t is likely, if not cer-
tain, that once France has
a deterrent, West German
leaders will be under ire
sistible pressure to get one
too.
Heading off that danger is
a chief aim Of the Multi
lateral Force project. 1t pro-
vides for a NATO surface

ing under a special command
in which major participating
nations would exercise a
veto. West Germany would
participate in the force on
an equal basis-but the veto,
the mixed crews, and the
maintenance Of the force at
sea rather than on national
territory would all work
against any nation using the
force for its own ends. More
over, there is at least a hope
that the high cost and low
yield Of independent national
nuclear forces would in time
lead the British and French
to abandon their independ-
ent nuclear efforts in favor
of the Multilateral Force.

Confusion Among the Judiciary

were illegally arrested for
exercising this constitutional
right"
What harm would it do
asked Judge Tuttle of the
superintendent of schools
attorney. Reid Barnes, Ito
put these children back in
school while their appeal is
pending?"
According to the superin-
tendent of schools" replied
Mr.. Barnes, 1T would cause
a breakdown of discipline
and morale"
So now the Federal judi
ciary, in effect, takes charge
Of a city's educational sys-
tenn and decides how chill
dren shall be disciplined. Yet,
there isn't a word in the
constitution which gives the
Federal Government any
such power over the educa-
tional system in any State.
But the confusion isn't
confined to the South. Just
across the Potomac from
Washington, another Federal
judge, Oren r. Lewis, handed
down a decision on Wednes-
day which, for the first time,
emphasizes equal rights for
whites" He ordered the COM
miSSioners of the District of
Columbia to give white pris-
oners at the Lorton Reform
atory a chance to decide
whether they want to sleep
in an all-white dormitory or
in one for both whites and
Negroes. The policy for the
institution had been that
only the Negro prisoners
could decide for themselves
whether they wanted to live
in an all-Negro dormitory or
an integrated one. No such
right to make a choice had
been granted by Jail officials
to the whites.
Yet "the law Of the land"
is supposed to be quite clear
nowadays so the citizens will
always understand and obey
what the courts tell them lest
Federal troops be modified
ito enforce a court order"
But what shall parents
throughout the country think
when they are refused a
choice between integrated
and segregated schools for
their children? Are there to
be equal choices" only in
the Federal Governments
jails?

Avoidance of Firm Stand Being Urged
On President Until the Picture Clears

The apparent decision Of
the wheat farmers to seek a
free market for their product
caught Washington off
guard. and the general reac-
tion is a cautious one.
Some Of the more discern
ing politicians are asking the
President not TO freeze his
hands-off position until 1t
becomes much more clear
what the wheat farmers were
trying to say. A few predict
that a bill TO save them from
themselves may yet be en-
acted at this session OF Con-
Rress.
Much depends on how the
Kennedys evaluate the situa-
tion politically. The Presi-
dents conversion TO farm
subsidies was a forced one,
taking place In the broad
light OF day at the 1856
Democratic national conven-
ton In Chicago. Through
1855, as CONGRESSMAN and
Senator. he had voted q con-
servatiye position on agricul-
tural issues, which was not
very surprising in q member
from Massachusetts,.
Came the historic moment
when presidential nominee
Adlai Stevenson suddenly
threw TO the convention the
choice OF a Vice President.
The Senator from Massachu-
setts was ready. He was
running very well with the
ball when harsh voices began
TO be raised In farm State
delegations.

policies of the sharpest kind
to occur in many years.
Once all this has been
said, however, one leaves the
field of the reasonably GER
tain and looks to an un-
movable future. The farm
ers are the least manageable
voting bloc in this country.
They tend to vote their own
pocketbook interests with a
faithfulnesS, and with a
sturdy disregard of political
labels and slogans, nowhere
matched in American society
save, and less consistently,
by organized labor.
If wheat prices at the
farm break sharply, as a
good many traders believe
they will, wheat men who
had been livid with anger
at Mr.. Kennedy and the
Democrats in the spring of
1868 could become equally
livid with anger at any and
all Republicans by the au-
tumn Of 1864. Thus, Repub-
lican managers now softly
ask, as to the farmers: Will
you love us in November
(1964) as you did in May
(1963)?
1t is great fun to issue
positive judgments about
what any such manifesto
ton as this wheat revolt is
going to signify later on.
But 1t is a foolish and futile
exercise. All that is abso-
lutely certain is that. as Of
now, the wheat farmers are
fed up with the Kennedy
administration.

Effect of Wheat Farmers Revolt

Too, classical conservatives
will make a great mistake, in
their understandable hopes
for a return to a free market
in agriculture, to suppose that
federally managed agriculture
is now going out in this coun-
try. They will only be rafting
the bars Of that cage Of hard
reality. of one sort or another,
in which all men live.
For 1t Is neither politically
possible nor economically
feasible at this stage of af-
fairs to return farming to a
strictly free enterprise status.
The same growers who today
will cry, Down with controls
and RECOMMENDATION" will de-
mainland surely get-"con-
trolls and regimentation" in
plenty in any tomorrow when
prices have slipped enough
and surpluses have piled up
high enough.
They will do so. regardless
of who is in the White House
or what party is in charge of
Congress. The farmer is not
unprincipled as a voter. But
to him the Federal subsidy
has in itself become a prin-
ciple. even if at times an un-
pleasant one. He is ashamed
of 1t in the sunshine of pros
perity; but he clamors for 1t
when the rain begins to fall.
In the end. he is not a Re-
publican and not a Demo-
crat. In the end, the farmer
is a farmer and-not unnat-
urally. considering the long
dow nturn in his once-nobly
independent state-he e is
looking out for Number One.

"It is due to the patience

Judge Allgood stated fur

upheld by the school board,

When there's a confused
judiciary, there's bound to
be a confused public. And
how can anyone tell what
"the law Of the land" really
is today when the judges
themselves contradict each
other in a matter of a few
hours?
Thus, the first editions Of
two New York newspapers
which reach many subscribers
or newsstand buyers in Wash
ington-said in their head
lines yesterday morning:

peal to Reinstate Birming-
ham Pupils" - New York
Times.
"Court Won't Bar Pupil
Ousters"-New York Herald
Tribune.
Yet this wasn't the fact
very long. A few hours later,
these same newspapers were
telling their readers in later
editions in New York City
that a U. S. Circuit Court Of
Appeals judge had, on the
same day, overturned the
earlier ruling.
The case in question arose
when the Board of Education
of the City of Birmingham
ordered the suspension of
the l,08l Negro students III
the public schools who had
been arrested on May 7, dur
ing street demonstrations, on
the charge of parading with
out a permit. The city's policy
has been to take such action
against any student who is
arrested for any reason un-
til the charges are disposed

been assured that suspended
pupils would be given "a
