Picking Meeting

While the q. N. mission was
looking into charges Of discrimi-
nation against Buddhists, q Bud
dhist monk from South Wet Nam
told a meeting in Communist
China (Peking) that his country
was "a hell on earth created by
United States imperialism and the
Ngo Dinh Diem clique" He is
Thich Then Hao. president Of
the Luc Hao Buddhist AsSocia-
ton. There were Buddhist dele
cations from 10 other Asian coun-
tries.
The Picking meeting appeared
to be an effort by Red China to
exploit the Buddhist issue against
Mr.. Diem and the United States.
Whatever its effect in Asian coun-
tries outside South Wet Nam
might be, such an effort could
easily boomerang and increase the
degree of credibility given Mr..
Diem's charge, in his own country
and in the United States, that the
Communists have been aiding the
Buddhist demonstrations.

Hazards in Bill

If the clause seemed gratultous
(since a citizen presumably could
challenge constitutionality of a
bill whether the Senate said so
or not, it at least put critics on
notice that lawmakers were aware
of the hazards in giving taxpayer
money to religious institutions.
Because OF the $500 million
spread between House and Sen
ate versions, observers forecast
trouble in the forthcoming con-
ference committee to iron out diff
ferences. Others felt the House
would balk at the lawsuit clause,
which it did not include.

THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
On Cornering Rights Bill

The administration brought
all its power to bear last week
trying to soften an extreme civil
rights bill to assure its passage
in the House. A full committee
vote Is scheduled Tuesday.
The spectacle of an embarrassed
Democratic administration trying
to get civil rights legislation wa
tered down was causing some prt-
vate mirth among conservative
opponents last week.
What had happened might be
called q comedy Of errors If 1t did
not deal with so grave a moral
issue. Even some Republicans we're
dismayed.

and so harsh and so punitive that

Judiciary Committee September

new civil rights bill. Going far
beyond the administrations orig

Vote This Week

The White House won a tenn
porary reprieve last Wednesday
after an hour-long conference
with House leaders, delaying full
committee vote until this week.
More behind the scenes talks
were continuing this week end.
The problem was that most Of the
IA Republicans on Judiciary were
committed to the subcommittee
bill and Northern Democrats hest
tated to oppose it for fear Of being
branded reactionary.
Some conservative Southern
Democrats frankly admitted they
would vote for the radical sub
committee version beca use it
would be easy to kill on the House
floor.
This Is really the administra-
tons last chance for rights legis-
lation in 1868. No major rights
bill has been reported out of
the conservative Senate Judiciary
Committee in the past century and
the Kennedy strategy is to push
a bill through the House, bypass
the Senate committee by report
ing it direct to the Senate floor
and hope 1t will garner enough
votes there to become law.
Will the administration forge a
bipartisan agreement by Tuesday
to avoid the subcommittee version?
Opinion ranged from deep pesSi-
miSm to a non-committal attitude
in the House. At all odds, re-
marked Senate Minority Leader
Dirksen, 1--WE might be lucky" to
get any kind of rights bill to the
Senate by December /.
No matter which way he turned,
President Kennedy was sure to
run into criticism on this issue.

a racist group, has vowed to Gust

GRAIN:
More Trade

Washington last week granted
export licenses to ship corn to
Hungary as Soviet trade Off
Gals continued talks here on q
larger wheat deal. Other grain
exports to Iron Curtain nations
are expected.
With a surprisingly small
amount of controversy. the United
States is moving swiftly to trade
with the enemy"
Almost unthinkable q decade
ago in the climate of post Korean
suspicion and McCarthyism, the
wheat deal has become one more
symptom of relaxed East West
tensions. Spurred by American
farm surplus and the gold drain,
talks are not only going well but
expanding into other commodities.
The latest broadening was
agreement last week to ship a
total of 26 million bushels of corn
worth S4.3 million to Hungary.
The Commerce Department issued
export licenses to Cargill, Inc, a
Minneapolis grain dealer and to
Continental Grain Co. of New
York.

On Tightrope

Mr.. Kennedy appears to be
walking a tightrope between the
extremists of both groups. Some
times he leans to one side, then
to the other. But his aim, though
not realized as yet, is plain: He
seeks internal political reforms in
South Wet Nam while at the same
time successfully prosecuting the
war against the Reds.
A classic example Of the Ken
nedy strategy was provided last
week. The United States, 1t was
disclosed by American Govern
ment sources in Saigon, has told
the commander of South Wet
Mans 10,000-man Special Forces
organization that his troops would
not be paid in the future unless
they we're engaged in combat
against the guerrillas.
The Special Forces are under
the overall control Of Ngo Dinh
Nhu, Mr.. Diem's brother-in-law
and chief political adviser. Some
Of these troops have been used al
most exclusively in political and
security missions. Special Forces
units were used, for example, to
raid the Buddhist pagodas last
August.
