S. and foreign countries. It has enabled young people and those who Influence future leaders of each nation to broaden their viewports, Rain perspective and understanding, and perhaps to modify aomewhat the provincial attitude that "our way is the only way." This writer proposes that a similarly well planned and purposeful exchange program between Northern U. S. high schools and colleges, where children of many races and national backgrounds attend school together without undue friction, and schools of the South where integration is feared and fought to desperately.' Both sections of the country would gain by a better recognition of each other's atti-i tude. Enlightened . Southerners agree thai change must Come to the South, that eventual granting of equal civil rights to negroes is inevitable, but they urge very gradual process of re-education on grounds that the South is not yet ready for any drastic change. They warn that attempts to hasten progress or enforce race tolerance will only make matters worse and will be fought vigorously by such terrorist tactics as the revival of the Klan-like White Citizens Councils. Since the South's feeling about negroes seems to be sort of regional miasma that infects those born and brought up there, one way to dissipate the disease might be to bring into the South more individual, who have become immune to extreme racist emotions through exposure to non-Caucasians in a healthier atmosphere of tolerance, and bring ing to the North a realization that the prob lem can't all be settled overnight. The stu dent exchange would be a low-pressure method as contrasted to the high-pressure promotions of the NAACP, for instance, and it is hard to see how the South could object. Most f the South's own proposals for a solution to their problem are either projected so far into the future as to be delusive or - are clearly impractical, such as the Alabama " senate's resolution calling for federal funds to resettle Southern negroes in the North and West "where they are wanted and -can be assimilated." Such schemes luisx the crux of the prob lem; it is not the negro, it is the white' man's attitude. It is the now-dominant white man who is deciding the late of the negro in the U. S.; it is the Southern whites whose minds must be won over to democratic concepts; and it ia the Northern whites who largely live and, work peacefully with colored neigh bors on aft equal basis who can best show with humility, not self-righteousness that "it can be done." That is why the exchange students, of course, would all have to be white. The unfortunate thing about this proposal is that it wasn't implemented long ago. V,. (M.W.W.) Blatant Diplomacy I.eave it to Western diplomacy, if it ran he Called such, to ul us in about an ludicrous a light as pomble. Or, in this cn.se, have it to Britain. While three American reporters cooled their heels outside, due to "security" regula tions, former Soviet Premier Georgi Mslcn kov was escorted into Britain's top atomic energy research plant. Even a Tans ( Russian ) News Agency man was Incredulous "You amaze me," he told a British guard; "you let all these Russian scientists in. Do you really think they un derstand less about atomic energy secrets than American correspondents." Fifteen Brit - ish newsmen and photographers also were barred while Malenkov and his Soviet coterie went through the plant's inner recesses. "We are sorry but security rule are se curity rules," a British official told the news men. Outside of its completely farcical aspects, the incident points up two things either the British and American public is being denied Information that it wouldn't hurt anyone to know, or Malenkov and his aides are getting inside information on developments which the Western allies should very well keep to themselves. Whichever is the case, it isn't healthy. Tt Is self-evident that newsmen are no more than the eyes and cars for the public they serve. And it is apparent in the instance' at hand that Malenkov comorises the eyes and ears of the Kremlin. If there has ever been any more blatant disregard of the British and American public's richt to know what's going on, than is Inherent herein, it has never cpme to our attention. .- Governments at all levels make thwrwlves susoect when they close their doors to the taxpayers by whose efforts thev exist par ticularly when they open their doors to those whose avowed purpose is their destruction. r.KIN AM) HKAli IT liv Lirlilv IIU 1?

In the first place, there apparently wasn't time night service, the bus line has indi cated, probably will be taken off very soon. In the second place, it is up to the city ad ministration, after a study and survey which no individual alone can conduct, to present tangible plan or plans which might sound feasible. Mass transportation Is Important to Salem, as it is to every City. And in Salem, as in many cities, it is bivin? serious trouble. But the cure does not lie in asscmbl'ng a helter skelter of opinion which would come larpely, if at all. from persons directly affected by the service itself. Let's marshal a program based on facts, not opinion's based, on emotion.

Editorial Comment DESERVED HONOR Congratulations are in order for Mrs. Georgia Patterson and for the 12,600 members of the Oregon Education Assn. who named her Oregon's "educa tion citizen of the year." Mrs. Patterson, wider of Oregon's late governor, was a distinguished first lady of Oregon. But also, and in- her own right, she has been a loyal friend and servant of Oregon education. For more than 20 years she has worked closely with the state PTA organization, first directing a survey of schools in Washington County where she lived when her husband practiced law and where her children were in school. She headed a hUh school survey committee for Ue American Asso , ciation of University Women. And for 10 years , she has served on the state board of education, of ' which she is now chairman.

It might not have done any good la this case. Prime Minister Nehru of India seems to take certain pride In not doing what anyone from the Western powers vants. But la this case his own country's Interests are Importantly Involved, too. Just when the Washington ad ministration was beginning its ex- ' planations to Congress of why It wants more money and more lati tude In making commitments for foreign aid. Nehru letr off a blast at American policies. Foreign Aid Director John Hol llster told Congress the new pro gram included aid for India's new five-year plan, adding that tt was important to help "a great nation . devoted to freedom make the eco nomic advances essential to its welfare." Nehru said almost simultaneous ly that the recent SEATO expres sion of hope for a U. N. plebiscite In Kashmir meant the interven tion of a military alliance in the dispute. He also criticized forma tion, with American support, of the Middle East Baghdad Pact. The Nehru statements are bound to rekindle one of the chief argu ments made against the foreign aid program that friendship can cot be bought, that there is no g-jarsntee of either political or economic returns. lis rtaterrents also came at the sime time as the announcemaot t? at he would come to Washington In July, w hen President Elsenhow er would attempt to by some of Ilia's fears about Americas F tl!s sn tlid-y touchy altuatloa friendly, a a Whether Nehru would have con sidered his timing more carefully if he had known more about the Washington activities Is by no means certain. He was reporting to Parliament on recent confer ences with Secretary Dulles and other diplomatic visitors. Whether Washington could have prevented such a headon collision of statements is uncertain. But one thing is sure. The United States is dealing these days with countries like India, which have the touchy pride of youth, and countries like' France, extremely careful of the ' dignities acquired by age. Greater consideration for them, even to the point of being extreme, might pay some hand some profits. im$Sffy Time Flies: 'rem The) Statesman filea me. 2.
