Big change in Southern editors' attitude toward segregation in past few years , TULSA, Oklahoma Four years ago the editor of this newspaper at tended the national convention of Sig ma Delta Chi, professional journalism society. Time and distance have kept hihi away from annual conventions un til this year, when members of the group gathered in Tulsa for their an nual convention. One of the big subjects of conver sation in the hallways and elevators four years ago was the Little Rock school situation, just beginning to sim mer down after a period of time which was uneasy, to say the least. And similarly at this meeting, the subject among Southern newspaper, radio and TV men and their more curious colleagues from the northern part of the country is the Meredith case involving Oxford, the University of Mississippi and, by inference at least, the entire South. And it seems, at this meeting at least, that a far more moderate group of Southern editors is in evidence than was apparent a few years ago. South Carolina, for example, Is a state which was expected to resist vig orously the desegregation order of the U.S. Supremo Court. And South Caro lina schools are not integrated to this clay. South Carolinans realize that an attempt will be made to enroll a Negro student at their state's university in 1963 or 14 at the latest. If one can judge their attitude cor rectly by what they say, the Oxford riots will not be repeated In South Caro lina if local people remain in con trol of the situation. They are deter mined that while they do not like seg regation, they will not stand for another Little Rock or Oxford. This presumes, of course, that local people can control the situation. In Little Rock and in Oxford, it is obvious that a great deal of the trouble was caused by what one Southerner calls "white savages, people who really don't belong to the human race at all." Most of them are not local citizens of the areas in which the troubles have oc curred. A delegate from Atlanta said that hotels in his city have been accepting as guests (paying guests, of course) those Negroes who are delegates to the conventions being held in that city. This is a new development, completely. There will be, he feels, a few more years of minor strife in some parts of Georgia, but integration will be com pletely tolerated, if not welcomed, in another ten years all over that state. A rather large number of Southern newspapers have editorially placed themselves with the moderates, con siderably larger than the number of four years ago. And more of those still uncommitted expected to take the mod erate view than the racist view when the. time comes. Perhaps, at last, the South is be ginning to handle its race problem on a more sound basis. Perhaps the end of racism as a problem is in sight, not in the next few weeks and months, but certainly in a much shorter period of years than the extremists would have us believe. Don't let another mongoose in the U.S. Secretary of the Interior Udall, friend of the oilmen and the nature lovers, has held up the carrying out of a Fish and Wildlife Service order call ing for the execution of s mongoose in Duluth, Minn. The little animal was brought to this country by a seaman, who donated it to the zoo at Duluth. A 1909 law pro hibits the importing of mongooses (mongeese?) into this country. Mongoose lovers in Duluth put up a big howl. The Udall order was the result. The law is one which makes sense. The mongoose is a native of India. Readers of Kipling know it kills snakes. It also kills rats, and birds. A few were brought to Hawaii late in the 19th century, to kill rats, which had multiplied greatly in the islands after their ancestors had escaped from ships docking at Honolulu. They killed the rats, all right, and wiped out the bird population, too. We've had some problems of the sort in this country. The starling is an example. The nutria is another. As long as Mr. Magoo, the mon goose, remains alone, we have no fears. But no one should be allowed to import a female mongoose to keep him company. WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND Nikita downgrades Soviet military; moderates gain Great statesman, no longer young Charles de Gaulle 72 years old tomorrow looks as grand and stern and strong as President of France as he did as general. But the arrival of another birthday Is bound to give rise to thoughts about lines of succession. And in De Gaulle's case, his heir is not apparent. He is truly without a back-up man. Advancing years are less a hazard lo De Gaulle, it would seem, than are the fanatics of the banned Secret Army Organization and the National Council of Resistance. The latter group has con demned De Gaulle to death "for high (reason," and two assassination at tempts give substance to the threat. Yet the last year has been in some respects one of Do Gaulle's most tri umphant. He managed to extricate France from its untenable position In Algeria. The French economy has never looked brighter. He got what he wanted in the Oct. 28 referendum on the Presi dency, albeit by a smaller margin than he desired. Election of a pro-GauIlist majority in the final National Assembly elections on Nov. 25 would make his victory complete. No other Frenchman today can be said to have a personal following strong enough or, more Important, a sufficient ly widely based political organization to steer the nation on a straight course. Without De Gaulle, France might be a fair way toward anarchy. It has been said that after De Gaulle comes the deluge. But if his heart is as strong as his will, that disaster may be postponed indefinitely. By Draw Paarton WASHINGTON Two signifi cant debates over the strategy of uie USA and the USSR have been taking place inside the White House and the Kremlin. Both have a direct bearing on the oth er and upon the peace of the world. From Inside the Kremlin The American Embassy reports what has every appearance of being a power struggle between Nikita Khrushchev, chairman of the Communist party, and the Red Army. The latest cable from the em bassy states that Marshal Rodion Malinovsky, head of the Red Ar my and the man Khrushchev has deferred to on many policy mat ters is now bitter over the Soviet retreat in Cuba. Malinovsky accompanied Khru shchev to Paris for the abortive summit conference in May, i960, and has stood beside him at most official occasions during the last two years an indication that he rates near the top of the Soviet hierarchy. The embassy has further' ca bled that military officials have been downgraded inside the Kremlin, and that Khrushchev has appointed moderates to key positions Deputy Premier Mi koyan, as negotiator In Havana; Deputy Foreign Minister Vasily Kusnetiov as special envoy to the United Nations: General Batov, in command of the Warsaw Pact Military Forces; and Alexle Kosy- gin, a moderate industrialist to make the big speech at the cele bration of the Bolshevik Revolu tion. It was devoid of sabre-rattling. All the above favor the soft line toward the United States. Letters to Neutrale The American Embassy reports that Khrushchev has swallowed his pride regarding the Cuban re buff, has agreed to reopen the nu clear disarmament talks on No vember 28 and has increased his peace propaganda. Finally, he has sent personal letters to President Sukarno of In donesia, President Nasser of Egy pt, and President Nkrumali of Ghana, all leading neutrals, stat ing mat his retreat in Cuba was dictated by the Soviet's sincere desire for peace. The United States, he wrote the neutrals, was ready to go to war; therefore his only recourse to prevent war was to withdraw Soviet missiles. He expressed the view that this might be converted into a real mile stone for peace. lending to confirm rerwrts of military - civilian friction inside the Kremlin was a statement pub lished in Red Star by First Dep uty Defense Minister Vasily Chuy- kov emphasizing the fact that the Communist party, not the Russian military, must be the supreme So viet authority. Inside the White House there has been another significant dis cussion, chiefly over Russia's llyushln-28 bombers. This discus sion also involves the military. It has been the unanimous opin ion of Kennedy's White House staff, plus his State Department advisers that these bombers are no threat to the United States. They have further warned Ken nedy that by pushing Khrushchev too hard regarding them, he may be playing into the hands of the Red Army. Aging Bombers The Ilyushin bombers, the Pres ident has been told, are old and could be knocked out by the Unit ed States in a few minutes in case of war. Furthermore they are not equipped with nuclear bombs: and since Khrushchev has been very careful not to let nuclear bombs get into the hands of non Russians, he would be leery about putting them in the hands of such an unpredictable and un cooperative psychotic as Fidel Castro. White House advisers have also pointed out that the MIG's now stationed in Cuba can carry nu clear bombs just as easily as the Ilyushin bombers. Also we have much more powerful bombers in Turkey, Pakistan and Germany which the Red Army has been grousing about. Finally the Russian subma rines, which have prowled off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts be yond the three-mile limit during all the eight years of Eisenhower as well as today, are a much greater threat to the United States. However, public reaction has not been called to the subs and no Senate speeches have been made about them, so they are not an issue. Actually, the President Is the only member of the "Oisit dun", the little group that sat up night and day during the peak of the Cuban crisis, who is really wor ried about the Ilyushin bombers. The President, however, has two problems to worry about: No. 1 His military advisers say they don't trust the peace re ports from inside the Kremlin; figure the Red Army will win out and force Khrushchev to adopt a tougher line. (The State Depart ment counters that if we play into their hands this will undoubtedly take place.) No. 2. The President is not unaware of the pounding he is getting from the Scripps-Howard newspapers, columnist Henry Taylor (Ike's former ambassador to Switzerland), and from the GOP war party of the Senate led by Barry Goldwater, Ariz., and Kenneth Keating, N.Y. As one trained in politics, Kennedy can readily envisage the Republican party coming out with a broad side accusing him of negotiating a Yalta over Cuba. State highway deputy selected SALEM (UPI) The Oregon Highway Commission Tuesday ap pointed Roderick L. Porter, 66, Salem, as deputy state highway engineer, effective Dec. 1. He will be the Oregon Highway Department's number two man, Just under State Highway Engi neer Forrest Cooper. Porter, who has been an assist ant highway engineer for the past year, succeeds G. S. Paxson, 69, who Is retiring. Porter's job as assistant will be filled by Lloyd P. Shaw, metro politan engineer for the State Highway Department in Portland. Fred B. Klaboe, Salem, an as sistant construction engineer, was promoted to Shaw's job in Port land. Still another part of the shakcup caused by Paxson's retirement is the appointment of Gilmore L. Decker, Salem, a field construc tion engineer, who will take Kla boe'a old job. Porter, an Oregon State gradu ate, worked for Portland General Electric Co. and the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads before joining the Highway Department here in 1933. His previous positions in the de partment include office engineer and right-of-way engineer. Paxson, a nationally recognized authority on highway and bridge building, has been with the de partment since 1919. He became assistant highway engineer in 1953 and deputy a year ago. The shakeup in personnel also resulted in the promotion of two department employes In Rose burg. J. F. Putnam, assistant di vision engineer for southwest Ore gon, moves to Salem to take Decker's job as field construction engineer. John H. Quiner, resi dent bridge engineer for south west Oregon, will take over Put nam's post In Roseburg. Cause of X15 failure noted EDWARDS AFB, Calif. (UPP The National Aeronautics and Space Administration reported Tuesday that a structural failure in the landing gear apparently caused the X15 rocket ship to crash during an emergency land ing Nov. 10. NASA said a preliminary inves tigation of the crash indicated some part of the ship's landing gear might have collapsed after a perfect skid landing on a dry lake bed. Space agency pilot John McKav, 39. escaped with minor injuries although the X15 lurched sideways on its ski-like landing skids for several hundred feet on the Mud Lake emergency landing area be fore flipping over. The landing gear tore loose from the ship. NASA said exact cause of the mishap could not be determined until later and that a full investi gation of the crash was still being made. The Air Force, a contributor to the X15 program, said one of the ship's skids was believed to have struck a crack on the dry lake surface. TIMES ARE HARD PARIS. Tex. (UPP A truck pacing thrftitgn hrt Tuesday bore two signs on its mud flaps. One said: "Crime don't pay." The other said: Trucking don't either." World tension is seen eased HAVANA (UPI) - A spokes man for Premier Fidel Castro said Tuesday night President Kennedy's lifting of the U.S. arms blockade of Cuba "eased international tensions.. .a little." Luis Gomez Wanguermert, edi tor of the government-controlled newspaper El Mundo, said in a television newscast the Castro re gime should .keep its guard up because "danger still persists" while the United States continues reconnaissance flights over Cuba. Antiaircraft batteries along the Havana waterfront opened fire Tuesday on an unidentified plane which eyewitnesses said was "playing hide and seek" among the clouds over the harbor. The guns fired for about S minutes, apparently without hitting the plane, which flew away to the north. Gomez told Cuban viewers that Kennedy "gave assurances against the Invasion of our is land." (In fact, the President refused to give any such assurance until an iron-clad inspection system has been worked out to Insure that Russian offensive weapons have been removed from Cuba for good.) Turkey thief killed by car GOSHEN,' Ind. (UPI 'A man whom police said was stealing turkeys for Thanksgiving was struck and killed by a car Tues day night in a freak accident near a poultry farm. Authorities said Vera Rugg, 29, Goshen, was killed while carrying two live turkeys in his arms. They said Rugg was hit by a car he believed was driven by an accomplice but actually belonged to a youth who had no connection with the plot. The accident happened near the Prlngle farm, a large poultry con cern a mile west of Goshen, ac cording to Deputy Sheriff Orvillo Vanderyden. Rugg, with two turkeys in a bag saw the lights of a car approach ing and apparently thought It was his accomplice. He stepped in front of the car, expecting it to stop. It didn't, and the vehicle struck him. OF THE BEAM LONDON (UPI) Eleven Brit ish homing pigeons that got lost and flew to Germany by mistake came back today In an airliner.
