where the manned bomber would still
"be very useful"
For such purposes, the Spanish bases
have obvious geographic advantages. Lo-
Gated strategically between the Atlantic
Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, they
provide a commanding land and water
range for the strategic bombers at three
of the bases and the combination of air
and naval facilities at the fourth. The
State Department has pointed out, in
cidentally, that the latter base, located
near Cadiz, would be suitable for servic-
ing Polaris-armed submarines
Although the nature of the Spanish
governments wishes on revising the base
agreement has not been made public,
there has been no suggestion that they
involve any curtailment of use. The
agreement has been in effect for ap-
proXimately ten years, and 1t contains
provision for either automatic extension
or revision by consultation. American
military and economic aid to Spain has
totalled about $1.6 billion in this past
decade. BY and large, the bargain ap-

While II does seem a long time ago that
Washington was winning pennants,
there are still good many fans around
who remember trim outfielder named
Sam Rice. Sam did all the things a good
outfielder was supposed TO do-hit, run,
throw and cover lot OF the wide
reaches beyond the infield-and he did
them better than most in a career that
included 10 seasons (l915 TO l934) with
our own ball club. At Just about the
same time, six-foot-six lefthander
named Eppa Jeptha Rixey was pitching
266 winning ball games for Philadelphia
and Cincinnati in the rival National
League. Rixey pitched like a machine
made up entirely Of long arms and legs,
with a coordination that seldom gave
the hitters the better of 1t over 81 sea-
sons. These we're real craftsmen-ball

Mokinq Sense

May I once more congrat-
ulate The Star on the Janu-
airy IS dispatch from its
European correspondent,
Crosby S. Noyes, in Paris?
Amid the many misguided
American outcries a gainst
what their authors mistak-
enly called De Gaulles "illu-
sions of grandeur (the
proper translation is great
ness), Mr.. Noyes' conclusion
stands out as a monument Of
good sense: "In the end,
General de Gaulle's concept
of an equal partnership for
Europe within the Atlantic
alliance may not turn out to
be as hostile to American in
terests as it may now appear.
And patience may be the best
formula for keeping the
fractions French leader un-
der control"
This dispatch seems to me
to be one more justification
Of the policy followed by
many great American editors:
The man on the spot is
always right.

1t Can Be Done

Harvey CAN'T, son of colored ship
yard worker, has been enrolled at Glenn
son College, and neither the sun nor the
stars nor the planets have fallen down
upon us.
This, OF course does not mean that
South Cardinals desegregation prob
lens have been solved. Difficult days
! doubtless lie ahead. But 1t does mean,
given the proper attitude, maturity and
awareness, that Negro can be admitted
. to a Southern college without giving
rise to the disgraceful spectacle which
marked James Meredith's enrolment at
the University of Mississippi.
Much credit goes to South Cardinals
Governor Donald Russell He is by no
means an integrationist. But where
MissiSsippi'S Governor Barnett stormed
and ranted, Governor Russell announced
that Harvey CAN'T would be admitted to
Clemson "peaceably, without violence,
without disorder and with proper regard
for the good name of our State and her
people" Pursuant to this, he issued the
appropriate orders to the State police,
but as it turned out there was no great
need for their services. Much credit also
belongs to the Clemson College authori-
ties, who made 1t very clear to the stu
dent body that punishment would be
swift and severe for anyone guilty Of
incidents"
The only major rumble of discomfort
has come from member of the South
Carolina Legislature, who proposes to
create committee to inform Clemson
students OF their rights of free speech
and assembly" 1t looks, however, as
though his efforts will not be needed.
Judging from their behavior to date, the
Clemson student body is composed of
young men who understand, not only
their rights, but also their responsibilities
as Americans.

Robert Frost

Robert Frost, man and poet, never
will be confused with the old-fashioned
image of the versifier, ensconced in anti
septic ivory tower, far from the teeming
multitude. For perhaps as much as what
he wrote, it was Mr. FroSt'S penchant
for harding around" as he called it,
that took him closer to the people than
any poet of his time.
Like Carl Sandburg, Mr.. Frost,
through rough hewn personality and
virility Of expression, supplied dimen-
sion Of down-to-earthineSs that made
his product appeal to people who had
thought poetry was strictly for the high
brows. This from man who cut his
literary teeth on TheocrituS and Catullus,
but could not abide modern poets "too
proud to tell me what they're talking
about"
An unknown for 40 years, Robert
Frost was given 48 years longer to sing
of nature and all the wonders which,
though universal never were far removed
from the earth of his Vermont farm. And
because people could understand his
poetry, they wanted to see and hear this
man who looked the part of the sturdy
frontiersman.
you've got to snap the quip to make
Pegasus prance," he once quipped while
harding around" He snapped 1t with
great relish and often, and the older he
became, the more he seemed to SAVIOR life.
in the last five years he was poetry con-
sultant at the Library of Congress, made
numerous personal appearances, found
himself thick in politics at the Kennedy
Inauguration and visited Russia
His honors during his lifetime we're
many-none greater than that he was
read and idolized by millions. They will
continue to read him, for his works, like
those of genius in any field, have depths
Of meaning revealed with each new read
ing. And for each faithful reader, there
will be pleasant reunion with the man
who wryly wrote:

with what PUe learned from

THE PASSING SCENE
Attack on Constitutional Balance
BY WILLIAM S. WHITE

Their immediate objective
is to end the effective power
Of any minority to resist by
prolonged talking in the Sen
ate through applying a par
liamentary gag. Their case is
specifically attractive. The
filibuster has a bad name be-
cause Southern Senators have
long used 1t to retard civil
rights legislation. The fact,
however, is that what is poi
son to the majoritarians in
other hands is meat In the
hands Of the majoritarians
themselves. The same weap-
on has been used by them
more often than their oppo-
nents, to retard legislation
sought by conservatives gen.
orally.
Civil Rights Only a Vehicle
Civil rights therefore is
only the vehicle by which
the majoritarians really in
tend to break not merely
Southern resistance to civil
rights bills but any and all
minority resistance on any
and every issue with which
minorities may dare to dis
agree with the majoritarians.
For when a minority, how
ever wrong" can be gagged
today, a minority, however
right" can be gagged to-
morrow.
There was a time when 26
States were soundly estimated
to be in control Of the shad-
owy Ku Klux Klan. These 26
States could have voted a
clear majority in the Senate
and, under the new debate
restrictions now being de-
manded. undeniably could
have halted all debate on any
issue whatever.
The great, bottom truth is
that the Senate is literally the
only place left where political
minorities have truly effec-
tive rights. The House Is a
strictly majority-rule- -by-one
institution. And minorities,
including small populated
States, have little to say
about either the nomination
or election Of a President.
All this is specifically why
the Constitution gave each
State, regardless Of size, two
votes in the Senate.
Those demanding Changes
in the Senate rules" are de-
manding infinitely more than
this. They are demanding,
consciously or not, a revolu-
tionary overturn in the basic
form Of Government toward
a monolithic, automatic,
foredoomed conformism to
whatever megalopolis might
decide at any given moment.

Compares Governors

Gov. George Wallace of
Alabama in his inaugural ad-
dress urged his listeners to
defy and disobey the law of
the land as laid down by the
Federal courts and then
promised segregation for
ever" This sort Of rabble-
rousing is symbolic of mans
inhumanity to man.
Contrast such demagogic
utterance to the understand
ing and statesmanlike plea
made by Gov. Terry Sanford
Of North Carolina, a Southern
progressive commonwealth, to
the North Carolina Press As
sociation. in which he said,
THE time has come for
American citizens to give up
their reluctance (to hire Ne
groes), to quit unfair dis
elimination, and to give the
Negro a full chance to earn
a decent living for his fam
lily and to contribute to high
er standards for himself and
all men," This utterance is
symbolic of a principle i'm
bedded in the very founda-
ton Of our democratic way Of
life, that man being created
in the image of God, is en-
dowed by his Maker with an
individual worth and digni-
ty. irrevocable and not to be
tampered with, and that gov
ernments are established to
create conditions in which
this principle is made secure.
The forces of intolerance,
prototypes Of the mentality
Of Gov. Wallace, whethe e r
they be individuals or groups,
in this country and the world
over, whether they be Of the
extreme left or right, who
stir up strife and SOW the
seeds Of hate and discord
amongst their fellow men,
may well learn a great lesson
from the simple yet signifi-
cant words Of a Negro
preacher in an Alabama vii
lage, who said, I'm the long
run, we will win, because
nothing, nobody can live in
hate alone"

'Towes' FIip-FIop'

The Stars January II edi-
torial, "Mr. Tawes' Flip Flop"
supports a nothing done is
better than half-a-loaf"
approach to the Maryland
automobile inspection prob
lem. In my opinion, such an
attitude is not in the public
interest and certainly is un-
fair to Maryland Governor
j. Millard Tawes.
Even the compromise"
proposal of inspection for
autos which are being sold
and spot checking of vehicles
on the road would be a sub
stantial improvement over
no inspection at all. Adop-
ton Of such a program
would be an important be-
ginning step toward a more
inclusive inspection system;
and, often, it is wiser to take
a cautious forward step be-
fore forging ahead at full
speed on legislation.
Although Gov. Tawes has
stated that he supports an
effective system of inspec-
ton, which would un-
doubtedly be more inclusive
than the suggested compro-
mise, he also can see the ad-
vantage of obtaining part Of
the hog, rather than no hog
at all. The Star apparently
wants the whole hog. or no
hog.
AS the Governor has said,
Politics is the art Of attain
ing the possible" There no
doubt are impressive reasons
why the sale car-spot check
inspection plan may be con-
sidered the maxim u m
achievable goal in this ses-
sion of the State Legislature.
However, if such a com
promise" law would save one
life or prevent one manning
injury, it is worthy of public
support rather than editorial
condemnation.
I am confident Gov. Tawes
this year will support auto in
spection legislation which
has a reasonable chance Of
passage and represents a step
forward for Maryland.

1t takes a little adjustment
and perhaps somewhat
more tolerance-to get used
to being called "the enemy"
in a book about World War
II.
1t takes even more adjust
ment-and yet more toler-
ance-to remain calm in the
face of the constantly re-
iterated idea that there was
somehow something ignoble
about the allies overwhelm-
ing superiority Of materiel
during the invasion Of "Fes-
tung Europa" that began on
June 6, 1914.
Nor is it easy to find a
measure of solace in the al

the great attack.

notion that 1t might be a
good idea to read Paul Car
rells Invasion - They're

get used to those things
which are normal and others
which are not. In some ways,
1t is not a bad idea at that.
II was a long time ago as our
brief life spans are meas
ured. Many things have
changed since then. The
nursing Of q grudge is often
impractical and always poi
sonous to the soul. Mr.. Car
rell does his bit to keep It
alive.
Ho wever, here we are,

BILE mishaps Of war begin at

current boast Of the d. c.

The law TO reduce school
fares was passed by Congress
about 30 years ago, after a
decade OF lobbying by a high

A BOOK FOR TODAY
On Omaha Beach Looking Out to Sea
By DONALD MINTZ

German soul. Unfortunately,
others who stumble on the
book will find themselves
infuriated.
1t seems that Mr.. Carrell
has never heard that in
World War I Petain arrived
at the conclusion that live
soldiers were generally more
useful than dead heroes and
did what he could to func-
ton according to that idea.
Mr.. Carrell has definitely
heard that Gen. Eisenhower
was aware of the theory and
insisted that it be observed
wherever possible.
On the one hand, he i'm
plies that this is cowardly,
and is forever praising sense
less feats Of heroism by Ger
man troops. On the other, he
occasionally takes time to
damn Hitler for his insistence
on last-ditch stands where
such stands had no conceiv-
able purpose.
NOR DOES HE EVER ask
himself in what name the
Germans were fighting. This
name was not that Of coun-
try, fatherland, Germany
call 1t what you will. 1t was
Adolf Hitler. 1t will not do to
mention that this or that
fortification was built by the
Todt organization as If this
were an ordinary contractor
and simply let 1t go at that.
A book like Mr.. Carrell's
implies throughout that
World War II was Just an
other one Of those combats
that have ragged across the
face Of Europe since the be-
ginning Of recorded history.
Distant posterity may agree.
But here and now the idea
seems pernicious. Hitler. after
all. was not a latter-day Ma
poleon. Napoleon never
thought Of subjugated peo-
Piles as raw material for soap
and lampshades.
There is a great reconcil-
iation now in progress. It
must and will 60 on. But II
cannot be furthered by re-
preston Of unpleasant facts.
In so far as Mr.. Carrell is
guilty Of this. he has done
us all - allies and former
Axis peoples-a disservice.
And now let us face the
fact that Mr.. Carrell's Atti-
tude is not uncommon-and

/ object TO Mr.. Oakes char
acterizing the question OF aid
TO church-related colleges as

Under cover Of demands
for seemingly dusty changes
IN Senate rules, a profound
attack on the very constitu-
tional balance in this country
Is now unfolding.
The ultimate objective is
to reduce the power Of the
smaller, less urbanized States
In the only national forum
where such power still exists
the United States Senate.
The ultimate effect would be
the substitution of a Gallup
Poll kind Of majority rule,
based almost wholly upon
the wishes Of the populous
urban centers and States and
interests, for the matchless
system Of checks and bal
ances written into the Con-
stitution nearly two centuries
ago.
The end of It would be a
new majoritarian rule based
upon megalopolis-the super
city, the super-state-which
would give little time and
less heed to any and every
section or interest in the
United States which was not
allied with the new majori-
tarianism.
In short, what Is finally
sought here is the creation of
a new political system of to-
tally unchecked m a jority
rule - instant government
like instant coffee-in spite
Of the fact that the whole
heart OF the Constitution is
meant to restrain majorities
from running over minori-
ties. Not even a majority of
SO per cent can presently
take away the basic rights
Of minorities, even the ire
ducible minority Of one man,
to free speech, free religion,
the private enjoyment of pri-
vate property.
The Last BastiOn
Those attempting this
fateful amendment Of the
Constitution by unconstitu-
tional means are naturally
centering upon the one place
where they have not already
won the game-the Senate.
They are generally called
liberals" and generally they
are Democratic Sen ators
from big urban-controlled
States, plus a handful of Re-
publican liberals" from the
same kind of States.
A more exact term for
them, however, is majoritar-
ians. Chief among them are
such Democratic Senators as
Paul Douglas of Illinois.
Wayne Morse Of Oregon and
Joseph Clark Of Pennsylvania
and such Republican Sena-
tors as Jacob Javits Of New
York and Clifford Case Of
New Jersey.
