LETTERS TO THE STAR
Another Judicial Nail in Coffin of Liberty?

The william 8. White and
Doris Fleeson columns Of
March % presented a graphic
comparison between liberal
and conservative thinking.
While Mr.. White wrote SOM
berly about the instant ma
jority rule" concept Of the
politically inspired Supreme
Court ruling on Georgia's
unit rule, Miss Fleeson saw
1t only as an outstanding
victory for the liberal ele-
ment. Her column was redo
lent with the overbearing,
juvenile. destructive and
power-seeking attitude of the
Kennedy administration. To
her, judicial enslavement Of
the American people Is merely
a means to an end.
since the nigh court has
thrown away its law books
and now has substituted
opinion 'and bias for consti-
tutional law, each decision
must be fitted into the jig
saw puzzle of q MARKHAM
plan to substitute dictator
ship for representative gov
ernment.
Since the unit system diff
fers only slightly from the
national electoral system of

States are considering the
"unpledged elector" plan in

right Of resistance by minor
tiles" He implies strongly
that equal representation de-
stroys all checks and bal
ances, and enthrones the
principle that most Of the
people are necessarily and
invariably right-instantly."
We can document the
check and balances theory
by reference to many of the
statements Of the founding
fathers: One house Of the
legislature to check the other,
the executive to check the
legislature, the legislature to
check the executive, the ju-
dietary to check the execu-
tive and the legislature, both
of the latter to check the
judiciary, the people to check
all branches. the Bill Of
Rights and other constitu-
tional limitations to check all
the branches and to check
the majority itself-but never
do we find it seriously hinted
that one individual should
have 10 or 20 or 80 times
as many votes as another in
order that the minority be
protected.
Restoration Of equality of
representation leaves all the
classical checks and balances
undisturbed, and enables
them to operate so that the
minority wisdom and un-
wisdom shall be heard and
considered. Ebert M. Byrd, jr.,

ton Committee for Prince

PARIS

PARIS
1t is interesting and highly
significant that Harold
Wilson. Labor Party candidate
for Prime Minister. should
have launched his electoral
campaign not in Britain but
in the United States.
1t is interesting because
Mr.. Wilson in Washington
has said all the things-or
at least almost all the things
that he thought the Amer
ican Government would have
wanted him to say.
1t is significant because it
appears to confirm some
thing Of which many OBJ
servers in Europe have been
dimly aware for some time:
The tendency of leftist labor
or socialist political parties
throughout Europe to iden-
tify themselves more and
more openly with the Amer
tcan cause in what is be-
coming an American Euro
pean split.
For Mr.. Wilson, himself,
his performance in Wash
tngton represents an abrupt
departure from many of the
policies he has embraced in
the past. Until recently he
would have been regarded
by most Americans as among
the least congenial of Brit
ish Labor Party leaders.
AS an opponent of the late
Hugh Gaitskell within the
ranks Of the Labor Party he
led (and lost) the fight for
Britain's unilateral disarm-
ament. Noted primarily for
his talent for evasion and
opportunism, he has been
closely identified with the
neutralist wing of his party.
AS this weeks London Econ
omist noted acidly: "a test
Of his statemanship will be
whether he acts differently
and more decisively now that
he has the party leadership
than he did before he Sc
cured it,"
A Full Performance
From an American point
OF view. at least-BritiSh re-
action so far has been very
reserved - his performance
leaves little to be desired. Mr..
Wilson's concern about inter-
national trade problems is
heartwarming. His rejection
Of neutralism is without
much equivocation. Fiis re-
affirmation of devotion to
NATO was in the finest ira
dition of Atlantic oratory.
Prime Minister Macmillan,
who yields to no man in his
attachment to Anglo-Amer-
ican partnership, may well,
it seems, have to yield to Mr..
Wilson. Even while denying
that it exists, Mr.. Wilson let
1t be understood that this
special partnership would be
among his chief preoccupa-
tions as Prime Minister.

A BOOK FOR TO-DAY
Blend of Literoture-PsychoIooy
By DONALD MINTZ
THE WORLD OF PSYCHOL

The WORLD OF PSYCHOL-
OGY edited with introduc-
tons by g. B. Levitas. vol.
/: 563 PIP; vol. Q: 583 pp.
George Braziller, both
volumes boxed $17.500
"The World of Psychology"
is a vast compendium of
wildly assorted materials deal
ing with the human PERSONAL
ity. The earliest thinker rep
resented is Plato; the latest
are psychologists, psychia-
triStS and men and women Of
letters who are still follow
ing their trades and express
ing themselves in appropriate
books, magazines and learned
journals.
Presumably it would be pos
sible to make a career of
quarreling with Mr.. Levitas'
selections. That matter en-
tirely aside, there is a good
deal to be said both for and
against the book.
Best Of all is the basic idea.
Mr.. Levitas thinks that litera-
ture and psychology juxta-
posed illuminate each other,
He is right. Yet he fails to
make a simple observation
that would have strengthened
his case. The imaginative
writings intend to take the
reader into a situation. The
technical writings, on the
other hand. express a situa-
ton In a technical vocabulary
that serves as a wholly un-
emotional. symbolic short
hand. and then discuss its
ramifications in a manner
that lies outside the domain
Of literature.
A PSYCHIATRIST, Peter
Hobart Knapp, writes: Ian
guage is obviously profoundly
influenced by the acoustic
sense. The exact part played
In the mysterious birth OF
speech, the relation Of audi
tory perception TO identifica-
ton and character formation,

and symbol in the develop
ment Of language. are un-
solved questions. beyond our
present scope. We may simply
say, clinically. that accurate
function Of the ear is enor-
mously important for COM
munication."
When the quotation is cut
at that point. the concluding
sentence is almost foolishly
self-evident. And beside Car
son McCullers 1t is pitifully
pale:
"The two mutes had no
other friends. and except
when they worked they we're
alone together. Each day was
very much like any other day.
because they were alone so
much that nothing ever dis
turbed them. There were
many parts in the town that
they had never even seen"
But the two quotations are
In no way comparable. The
first sets a background for
analysis. The second is part
Of a tale; 1t sets the back
ground for events In the lives
Of two men.
This distinction ought to
have been made explicit, for

WATCHING THE WORLD
Rv HPOSRy e MOVES
Wilson's American Springboord
Foreign Correspondent Of The stOr

In the tricky realm Of de-
fense Mr.. Wilson trod with
sure footed aplom b. His
warning that the agreements
of Nassau might have to be
renegotiated or "denegoti-
ated," along with Britain's
independent nuclear deter
rent, is actually perhaps less
a threat than a promise. His
doubts about the usefulness
of a NATO nuclear force and
his argument that the United
States should be "the custo-
dian Of the strategic deter
rent on behalf Of the West
ern alliance" will provoke
few objections from Defense
Secretary Mcnamara.
European Aspect
If Mr.. Wilson succeeded in
reassuring his American au-
dience, however, his success
in Europe and possibly in
Britain as well is q good deal
more doubtful.
On the question Of the
Common Market, for ex-
ample, his approach does not
seem calculated to hasten or
facilitate Britain's member
ship. And while his predeces-
sor, Mr.. Gaitskell, had seemed
anxious to find alternative
solutions, Mr.. Wilson seems
disposed to wait until Europe
is ready to accept Britain on
her own terms. s
1t is on the problem of Ger
many, however, that Mr.. VIII
sons European politics seem
the most dubious. The future
course of Europe depends
very largely on the future re-
lationship of Britain, Ger
many and France, with Ger
many in a crucial pivot posi-
ton.
Mr.. Wilson's arguments on
Berlin, on the need for "flex-
ibility" with regard to East
Germany, on the undesirable
ity Of giving the Germans
any say in nuclear matters,
are hardly likely to endear
him to the leaders in Bonn.
The net result of his policies
could well be to reinforce the
autarchic and inward looking
tendencies which he claims to
deplore. ~
No doubt Mr.. Wilson has
tried to identify himself in
the course Of his Washington
visit with those European
leaders Of the left-such as
Belgium's Paul Henri Spaak,
Italy'S Amintore Fanfani and
Germany's Will Brandt.
In growing measure, entrance
into this club depends on an
unconditional pro-American
stand and firm opposition to
the concept Of Europe as
preached by such veterans as
Chancellor Adenauer and
Gen. de Gaulle. And Mr.. Will
son, in anticipation of the
critical election to come, has
paid his entrance fee in full.
