THE COMING EXPLOSION
LATIN AMERICA pv

IN LATIN AMERICA. BY
Gerald Clark. 436 PIP.
David Mckay Co.; $6.750
"The advanced business
community of the United
States and many Congress-
men have an unavoidable
tendency to consider the oil
garchs as their counterparts.
When they visit Latin Amer
lea they talk to businessmen
and Senators only, and fail
to understand the real forces
at work here. To them, COM
munism is a thing that
starts and ends with Fidel
Castro. From the Cuban peo-
Piles point of view, the
present dictatorship is a Ca
tastrophe, but I do not share
the view that the presence
OF Castro makes our position
more difficult. There is a
great vacuum in Latin Amer
lea and a great urge to fill
it. If the Cuban government
were overthrown tonight, our
internal situation would not
improve one bit. Poverty and
agitation would continue"
The speaker is President
Jose Figureres Of Costa Rica,
a man who. in Gerald Clark's
words, made "the tiny re-
public an oasis of hope In an
otherwise restive Central
America"
Mr.. Clark is an associate
editor Of the Montreal Star.
and his purpose In "The
Coming Explosion in Latin
America" is to explore the
nature Of the various urges
to fill the Latin American
vacuum.
IN SOME WAYS, he is
uniquely qualified 10 address
the United States. As a Ca
madam, his viewpoint is es-
sentially that Of a North
American reared In a ver-
sion Of the Anglo-Saxon ira
dition Of government, law,
and social responsibility. But
at the same time, he carries
none OF the history OF the
United States on his shoul-
ders. His nation has done no
wrongs in Latin America. He
is not burdened with guilt.
He is free from any desire
10 insist that a domestic his
tory conditioned by unique
factors is (or ought TO be)
the model for the salvation
Of the world. This makes Il
possible for him TO view the
naturalization OF a tele-
phone system In Brazil as a
matter TO be debated on It's
practical merits rather than
as an offense against an Inn
mutable theology.
Mr.. Clark considers some
matters on q more or less

PARIS.

GAfO1kO.
War drums are beating
ominously in the aftermath
of a summit meeting of 81
independent African leaders
in Adds Ababa last week.
The meeting, as had been
expected, contributed little to
the cause Of African unity.
An impassioned appeal from
Ghana's Kwame Nkrumah
for an immediate political
union Of Africa was received
with skepticism and hostility
by most Of the other assem-
bled leaders. So far as most
observers could discover, the
meeting uncovered more
areas Of disagreement than
cohesion among the rival
chiefs.
One subject of discussion,
however, provided a notable
exception. When it came to
firebreathing threats against
the remaining white-domi-
mated areas Of the Dark
Continent, there was only q
rivalry Of intemperance. Even
the more moderate leaders
seem to have been carried
away in the general flood of
invective against the rem
nants of african colonial
ISM"
Thus, early in the meeting,
delegates cheered q demand
by Guinea's President Sekou
Toure for an ultimatum to
South Africa and Portugal for
liberation of these dominated
territories within an unspeci-
fled period Of time. This. in
turn, was backed up by an
offer Of Prime Minister Mil
ton Obote Of Uganda to pro-
vide training grounds" with
in his country for liberation
forces to fight colonialist
domination.
Ben Bella Steals the Show
1t remained for Algeria's
Ahmed Ben Bella, however,
to steal the show. BY offering
10000 volunteers to fight in
Portuguese Angola, the young
Algerian revolutionary
brought down the house and
emerged as the most mill
tant Of all the African
leaders.
One may be a little skep-
tical about immediate impii-
cations Of the Ben Bella
threat. AS Israeli experience
has shown, agreement upon
a common enemy is not a
very binding cement among
the new and jealous inde-
pendent states of Africa. So
far as Algeria itself is con-
cerned, one may wonder Just
how much real enthusiasm
there would be among that
exhausted people for a new
struggle for independence
south Of the Sahara.
And yet for the long run,
most certainly, it is a threat
which cannot be ignored. 1t
lies at the heart Of a racial
revolution which is shaping
events with frightening ra-
pidity from Birmingham,
Ala, to Saigon, South Wet
Nam.
This revolution threatens
to turn Africa in the coming
years into a major battle
ground in which interests of,
the major powers Of the
world cannot fail to be deeply
and dangerously involved.

Schools and Taxes

One would like to believe
that recent actions of the
Montgomery County School
Board and Council do not re-
fleet the views Of the major
ity Of county citizens. When
voting the economy-minded
candidates into office, the
voters undoubtedly were
moved by a desire to reduce
their taxes while eliminating
the alleged inefficiencies and
frills. The voting public prob
ably did not expect that what
they were, in fact, accom-
plishing was an average an
nual saving of $13 part of
which is due to excess funds
collected this year, for which
they must lose the foreign
language program, 200 teach
ers, and school construction
and site acquisition funds.
There is a legitimate ques-
ton whether these, and other
items, are the "frills" the
voters of last November had
in mind.
DR.. P. A. Small, In a letter
to The Star called for a
petition to put the question
directly before the public. In
supporting this, I would like
to go one step further. I
suggest that it be deter
mined how many taxpayers
are prepared to contribute
voluntarily the taxes they
have been saved and, further,
to contribute additionally to
compensate for one or more
taxpayers who are unwilling
or unable to do so. Such
contributions would be des-
ignated specifically as ad-
ditional funds to be spent
for school needs in priority
as recommended by Supt.
Whittier and his staff.
1t is to be hoped that a
petition would find that a
majority of the public sup
ports a return to the previous
school policies and tax rate,
and that the county coun-
Gil would act accordingly. If
not, the plan I suggest would
permit a minority Of the citi-
zens to maintain high stand
ards Of education for all of
the children in the public
schools of Montgomery Coun-
ty. Edward d. KOrn.

Loves Porodes

AS q native Washing
tonian, born and bred on
parades up and down Penn
sylvania avenue, I feel COM
PEELED to write about the
"motorcade" for Mai. Coo
per that flew down that same
avenue. There was q time
when this city really honored
its heroes, going all out with
a real parade, and the spec
tator felt fulfilled as well as
honored in being a part of a
fine tribute to a great man.
What we saw May 2l was a
poor excuse. The police es-
cort came along at 30 miles
an hour. at least, with the
cars in hot pursuit. We we're
guessing who was In which
car and felt lucky TO recog-
nize a few. I did not know
that Vice President johnson
was even in the same car
with Mai. Cooper until I
returned home and was told
so by some Of my friends
who watched on televislon.
TV coverage Of this fine
event was. I understand,
marvellous. But there Is no
thrill like being there in per-
son. II our city does not cor
rect this trend. everyone will
stay at home and watch on
television. The streets will be
lined with captive Govern
ment workers let out for the
occasion. and that will be all.
Many Of my friends question
my sanity because I would
take my three children all the
way downtown, into all that
traffic. etc. TO see a parade
or hero's welcome. Wen, I'm
beginning TO think they are
right.
Why can't this city put on
a real parade for someone
like Mai. Cooper New York
can give him q ticker tape

facilities right herel

Stirs Up q Stew

writer like Walter Hackett to
shoot a few torpedoes at
Washington food and WASH
ington walters. Anyone who
has sampled the native dishes
Of places like Baltimore,
New Orleans or Boston must
turn up his nose at the un-
palatable messes and out
rageous prices here in the
seat of the republic.
Mr.. Hackett might have
mentioned the reasons for
this distressing situation. In
prints, Washington is a het-
erogeneous sort of town in
habited by job-Seekers and
status seekers who have
trekked in all the way from
the Aleutian Islands and
Cape Canaveral. Coming as
they do from such culinary
wastelands, they have no
knowledge of what consti-
tutes good food and can't
appreciate 1t any more than
the average man can ap-
preciate differential calculus.

Bravo to Walter Hackett
for his excellent article in
The Stars Sunday Maga-
zine, "a Sour View Of WASH
ington Restaurants" I was
raised in France, have trav-
eled widely and am a grad
uate of the Gordon Bleu
Cooking School (for appren-
tices), which I attended while
my husband, an Air Force
officer, was stationed near
Paris. After France came a
tour in California, where we,
too, raved over the cuisine
offered from San Francisco
to Los Angeles. Coming to
Washington we hoped to find
even finer cuisine in view of
the international flavor" of
this city. But, alas, we are
still seeking "one" restaurant
in this city. E. S. X.
.
4 I feel duty bound to inform
you that Mr.. Hackett's arti-
Gle was unfair and well spiced
with idiocy. In stumbling
through a highly controver-
sial subject, - of which he
has seen too much of and
understands too little-he
gave me the impression on
a deflated cheese souffle.
If his cry of hash house"
is Just another impromptu
addition to I'D. c. slums, d. c.
crime, D. c. cultural desert"
and others we have been fed
with, then he deserves his
daily ration of bortsch and
black bread. Many restau-
rateurs speak more Ian
guages, have worked and
visited far more countries
than your "voyageur de luxe"
and are most proud to be
able to be a part Of this
metropolis. I cannot see
Washington as the rotten
apple Mr.. Hackett has bored
himself into.
Henri Jose Waser,
Proprietor, Swiss Chalet,
Walter Hackett is so very
right. I must sadly say, al
though / will be proud If lie
Bistro was one OF those
-four" Being French, I un-
derstand what he means and
! try hard TO make my en-
ployes understand what I
want from them - net for
me. but for the enjoyment
and pleasure Of my clientele.
The article will be posted
In my employees quarters for
them to read and learn I
hope.

We congratulate Walter
Hackett on an attempt 10
tell the truth about the So
called restaurants In this
city. but wonder whether he
is not stretching II a bit by
saying that there are -four"
good eating places here. For
years we have stated over
and over again that WASH
ington lacks a restaurant one
can take a visitor and be
proud OF IL.

The Vice President remarked
that "Very few agencies have

Office in this regard"
The Post Office is one depart

implement the policies adopted
by the Presidents Committee

Taylor, Jr., Executive Vice
Chairman of the Committee.
1t is noted that the Post
Office Department has in ex-
cess of $1,000 Negro employees,
making it the nations largest
employer of Negroes. From
March 1861, when President
Kennedy issued Executive Or

Committee on Equal Employ
ment Opportunity, to June 1862,
at the completion of a survey of
minority employees, the en-
ployment of Negroes in the
Postal Service with grade levels
six through eleven increased by
10 per cent. The number of Ne
gro employees at headquarters
in Washington, D. c., jumped
80 percent, while the overall in
crease was less than half that
number. Negroes in the field
service rose As per cent, as
compared with an overall en-
ployment rise of 1.8 per cent.
Since the survey was complet-
