piiisMsr j fir Capital Report My: Nickel's Worth On .S. Senate stands in way o na es &a7 reafy v7n flissa "A treaty entering the Senate," a harassed Secretary of State once declared, "is like a bull going into the arena. No one can say just how or when the final blow will fall. But one thing is certain it will never leave the arena alive." The figure of speech is apt if hyperbolical. That's why the Ken nedy Administration has been sounding out key members ef Con gress, particularly members of the Senate Foreign Relations and Armed Services committees and the Joint Atomic Energy Committee. Primary jurisdiction for an atomic test ban treaty of course lies with the For eign Relations Committee, which was shown a draft treaty on July 23. Secretary of State Dean Rusk a day earlier had been reported con sidering going to the signing cere- mony in Moscow accompanied by a " bipartisan delegation from Congress. IBy so doing he would avoid at least partially one of the mistakes made by President Wilson in 1918. As I Prof. George H. Haynes has pointed out: "As a publicist Woodrow Wll--son had again and again emphasized -the desirability of the close and "sympathetic . cooperation between ; the President and the Senate in treaty-making, and had stressed the .President's opportunity and duty to Jitake the initiative in promoting in tlmate relations of mutual confi . dence. "But at the close of the World - War not only did he not place Sen- - ators as such liaison officers upon .' the commission which he took with him to Paris, but he consented to, if he did not personally instigate, an interweaving of the Treaty and Covenant of the League (of Na- , tions), which he had every reason to know would be obnoxious to a majority of the Foreign Relations Committee and to a portion of the Senate large enough to reject the Treaty." President Truman avoided a repetition of the first of Wilson's errors in 1945 by appointing to the U.S. delegation to draw up the United Nations Charter Sen. Tom Connally, the powerful chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, and his Republican opposite number, Arthur H. Vandenberg (Mich.) The clause of the Constitution which regulates the making of treaties provides simply that the President "shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur" (Art. II, Sec. 2). This treaty making power of the Senate was to President Wilson that body's "treaty-marring power." An ominous note was sounded on July 23 by Senate Minority Lead er Everett Dirksen .(111.), who said he would "guess a good many reser vations would be presented" on the Senate floor to a test-ban treaty. In neither of the other nations parties to the treaty will it have to be presented to a legislature for rat ification. Indeed, the restraints on a U.S. President's treaty power are virtually unique. One may hope Ray Stannard Baker was not prophetic when he wrote more than 40 years ago: "The deadlock between the Ex ecutive and the Senate every time we face a really critical foreign prob lem is intolerable. It not only dis graces us before nations, but in some future world crisis may ruin us." To make the treaty that Averill Harrlman initialed valid, it must be approved by two thirds of the Sen ate. It will be interesting to see how the vote goes. What she says may have merit lems? Some years back, when Rep. Shirley Field was running for the job of State Treasurer, we said that ' she, like most women, talked too much at times. There are probably some other people who now agree 'with us, no tably people connected with the in surance industry in Oregon. For Shirley has done it again. But this time, she has something to say that is a bit embarrassing to some people. Miss Field thinks that a legisla tive investigation of the insurance Industry will turn out to be a "white wash of questioned practices in the Industry." Why? Well, for one thing three of the seven state legislators ap pointed to investigate the Industry are presently in the insurance busi ness. For another, fourth member Is a doctor who has been president of Oregon Physicians Service, which sells medical and hospital Insurance. The other three members of the group aren't connected with Insur ance, but one is a lawyer who prob ably does some business with insur ance people. Miss Field might be right. Nor mally, most people don't go around knocking their bread and butter. At the same time, few should know more about the insurance ..Industry than four of the seven "legislators on the committee. If there are questioned practices, as -Miss Field suggests, who would l.know more about them than those closely associated with the prob- An objective study would add prestige to committee members and might help the industry. A white wash wouldn't. Quotable quotes Life will go on as b e f o r e. If the treaty is ratified, it could dis solve some of the fear and strains but little more. Khrushchev has not yet recanted his determination to bury us. Senate Republican leader Everett M. Dirksen, commenting on the partial nuclear test ban agree ment between the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union. I did not recognize him as a dealer. For all I know he might have been someone from Buckingham Palace. Gallery director Fred Read, speaking of an unidentified man who bought 12 portraits of royalty painted by Dr. Stephen Ward, a key figure in Britain's sex and security scandal. But if Negroes demonstrate while the white population is try ing in good faith to meet their de mands, if the Negroes' demands are unreasonable, It they ask for special privileges, then Negroes are walking perilously close to losing everything. Massachusetts Atty Gen. Edward W. Brooke, after expressing the be lief that the Negro had not yet gone to extremes In the civil rights struggle. White Americans miss many problems that faces a Negro who takes a trip By Yvonne Franklin Bulletin Correspondent WASHINGTON White Amer icans, happily contemplating the vacation pleasures of a car trip, were challenged this week to im aginatively put themselves into the traveling shoes of a Negro planning a similar journey for his family. Roy Wilkins, Executive Secre tary of the NAACP, described the "uncomfortable" frame of mind of dark-skinned people when travel ing. North or South, and said that livestock is often better treated than colored citizens. Wilkins vividly described some of his experiences and feelings be fore a hushed Senate Commerce Committee during hearings on the proposed national public accom modations law. "For millions of Americans this Is vacation time," he said. "Swarms of families load their automobiles and trek across coun try. I invite the members of this subcommittee to imagine them selves darker in color and to plan an auto trip. . ." "How far do you drive each day? Where, and under what con ditions can you and your family eat? Where can they use a rest room? Can you stop driving after a reasonable day behind the wheel or must you drive until you reach a city where relatives or friends will accommodate you and yours for the night?" When asked "What do you do?" Wilkins said that first the route is checked to avoid states, if possi ble, that aren't friendly. The far ther North they travel, the better, he indicated. Before tawing a chance of being rebuffed, you "drive, drive, drive and you don't stop at four o'clock, ju keep on driving until you got where you know somebody, or they know somebody who can take care of you, or you stop In a pfl- vate home," he said. "In an increasing number of areas, the problem doesn't pre sent itself," Wilkins continued, "but it is still encountered even in areas thought to be free. "What do you do in Iowa in a small town?" he asked. "It is al most as much of a problem (in small towns) as a town in Ala bama." He said that while he could feel sure of getting a hotel room in Louisville, Ky., or Miami Beach, Fla., the small towns were a chancey thing. "You live uncomfortably from day to day" was his description of the feeling of doubt as to whether or not his dark face at the door would bring a welcome or rejection. He described an experience of traveling in the West "I went on an auto trip to Cali fornia," he said, "and in Salt Lake City my wife and I found ourselves unable to get coffee and toast before we left the city. Wo were in the shadow of the (Morm on) Temple and yet we were told bluntly that they didn't serve Negroes. "We drove in a good deal of anger and frustration across the Salt Lake Flats and came to Ne vada, which of course doesn't have any temples, only the tem ples of chance. "The first restaurant we went into in that 'sinful' state we were welcomed with open arms, and we had bacon, scrambled eggs and toast," he said, obviously reliving the warm experience. "I began to doubt then whether the 'evil' people were as evil as had been pictured, or whether the holy people were as holy," he con cluded. In his testimony and the questioning that followed, Wil kins protested the maze of technicalities and the controversy in congressional debate over Washington'Ierry-go-i'ownrl J Rocky scored at session but his new wife did not By Drew Pearion WASHINGTON Aftermaths of the Governors' Conference Gov. Nelson Rockefeller was with the new Mrs. Rockefeller everywhere in Miami the first couple on the dance floor, the most high lighted couple at receptions. They even refused to be separated when Gov. Roscllini, D-Wash., the con ference chairman, asked Rocky to go to the airport to meet Vice President Johnson. Rocky wanted to know whether wives were in vited, was told "no," then declin ed to serve. . .Happy Rockefel ler met all the ladies, was gra cious, charming. However, it did not thaw the opposition. Behind her back, GOP governors' wives made vicious remarks about the divorce and the children. . .Con clusion of the political pundi was that the remarriage is a greater stumbling block between Rocky and the White House than previously realized. Aside from matrimony, Rocke feller scored a great victory, was easily the most outstanding figure in Miami. The TV cameras fol lowed him everywhere in con trast to Michigan's George Rom ney who was generally neglected. In backstage GOP huddles, Rocky argued that the Republicans, as the minority party, had to stick together on civil rights. . .Ho got strong support from Ry Bliss, the Ohio GOP big wheel who mo bilized Dusty Rhodes, the new governor of Ohio. Mark Hatfield, likeable governor of Oregon, did a lot of front-running on the same unity principle. (Democrats wish ed he was on their side.). .In party caucuses. Bliss argued against the Goldwater theory of Gov. Paid Fannin of Arizona and Oklahoma's Henry Bcllmon that the Republicans could win if they carried all states west of the Mis sissippi plus the South. This, said Bliss, was the best way to com mit political suicide. . .Fannin would reluctantly come around to this, then leave the caucus and change his mind. The boys would then have to bring him back to another caucus and get him to change his mind back again. Every governor in the USA was at Miami, including the governors of Guam and Samoa except for the governor of Pennsylvania. Bill Scranton was conspicuously absent and it didn't do him any good. . .It was reported that Rockefeller had sent an emissary to see him in advance on civil rights, that Scranton got commit ted, then realized he might be overly committed, so look a run out. . .Governor who came up with the least glamor was sup posedly glamorous George Rom ncy, who showed off a trim waist line around the swimming pool, but tried to carry water on both shoulders regarding Goldwater. Romney was the only governor in the memory of newsmen who had to issue a press release to explain what he had meant in a press conference. . .Conclusion of most observers regarding the three gubernatorial days in the Florida sun: Rocky enhanced his prestige considerably, but not enough to overcome his divorce. However, he has really dimmed the luster of Barry Goldwater. Key Election Most significant bi-election of the year takes place in Pennsyl vania tomorrow to fill the shoes of the late chairman of the Un American Activities Committee, Francis Walter, long-time elder statesman from Pennsylvania. It happens that Bethlehem Steel officials are putting up a terrific battle to elect one of their men, Robert Bartlett, Republican, to replace Walter in a district which hasn't elected a Republi can in this century. If they win it will be a real blow to Kennedy forces. Behind Bartlett, a 31-year-old West Pointer, are V. J. Pazzetti, Jr., former general manager of Bethlehem, who is serving as GOP campaign manager; also Russell Branscom, a Bethlehem vice president, and George Fu gere, and Emile Ferryman, two Beblohem junior executives. It's also reported that Bethle hem officials have kicked In size able campaign contributions, fol lowing the precedent in the last election for mayor when 48 Beth lehem Steel officials were listed as contributing $3,205 to defeat Democrat Paul Jani. At that time Henry Ragot, Re publican county chairman, was quoted by the alert Bethlehem Globe-Times as saying that if the steel officials had consulted him he would have funneled their con tributions directly to state GOP headquarters so the names would not have to be published. In the current campaign fr congress man it will be interesting to see whether they are following his ad vice. However. Fred B. Rooney. a hard-working state senator and a friend of the late Congressman Walter, is putting up quite a cam paign on the Democratic side and it will be a tough job to defeat him. whether the law should be btfed on the commerce clause of the Constitution or under the 14th amendment. He thought Congress could find a way to alleviate hu man suffering without bogging down in a stalemated debate. "As is the case with so many aspects of the vast minority rights question. . .the tendency in debate has been to treat the com plaints in a detached laboratory manner. . ." he said. "The truth is that the affronts and denials that this (public ac commodations) section, if enact ed, would correct, are intensely human and personal. Very often they harm the physical body, but always they strike at the root of the human spirit, at the very core of human dignity. . ." "The players in this drama of frustration and indignity are not commas or semi-colons in a legis lative thesis; they are people, hu man beings, citizens of the Uni ted States of America. , ." Later in his testimony he re marked wryly that Congress had legislated under the commerce clause to protect livestock. "The Congress has legislated for the health and welfare of live stock. Why does it balk at legis lation for the welfare of its twen ty million loyal Negro citizens?" he asked. "Railroads or other carriers are prohibited by 45 United States Code 71-74, from confining live stock for more than twenty-eight hours without unloading them in to pens for at least five hours for rest, water and feeding. "Are cows, hogs and sheep more valuable than human be ings? Is Uieir rest, water and feeding a proper subject for Con gressional legislative action, but the rest and feeding of Negro Americans in hotels, restaurants and other public places an im proper subject for Congressional action?" Farm income figures revised downward By Gaylord P. Godwin UPI Staff Writer WASHINGTON (UPI) -Agriculture Department economists in their continuing revision of esti mates of farm income have stolen much of the front office's thunder about how well off farmers are. In fact, the economists have "revised" 1962 farm income from a gain of 10 per cent over that of 1960 to a point where it is only about 7 per cent higher than in the last full year of the Eisen hower administration. The Ken nedy administration drumbeaters at the department had been say ing that net farm income in 1962 at $12 9 billion was the highest since 1953, the first year after 20 years of Democratic administra tions. There is a considerable amount of educated guesswork in the de termination by economists of farm income, what with several million large and small farmers handling their own bank accounts buying a bond when they choose, paving bills, and growing many different kinds of crops. Natural ly, the economists have to revise their conclusions when they re ceive late information relating to production, marketings, prices, expenses, and capital investments. The latest revision of farm in come dropped the 1962 return to $12.6 billion, which put it slightly below the net income from 1958, a year when Ezra Taft Benson was guiding the destinies of the department. A further revision for 1961 sent farm income down to $12.5 billion, whereas for a couple of years it had been thought to be $12.8 billion. Seems that new information on the dis tribution of 1961 crop marketings and on deliveries of 1961 loan crops to the Commodity Credit Corp. (CCC) resulted in the down ward revision. The department reaped some solace under the latest revisions of the farm income situation. The net changes in farm inventories in 1962 went up $700 million in stead of the $100 million calcu lated some time back. Barbs The Bulletin Monday, July 29,1963 An Independent Newspaper Robert W.

Wrong approach seen on problem of aged To the Editor: The more thought I give to the problem the more convinced I be come that we, in this country, have the wrong approach to the problem of the aged. The raising of the money and it's expendi ture should be handled locally. You say how? We all belong to something. Those of us that do not belong to a church belong to a grange or lodge, a farm bureau, a commer cial club or a labor union. Some churches have made provisions for caring for their membership. The lodge or grange or farm bureau or club or labor union can provide security for all their aged, and they can do it without risk, through a credit union set up within the organization. That would be better than borrowing the money and saddling it upon future generations as is done now. Perit Huntington Sr. Sisters, Oregon July 17, 1963 Quotes presented in support of U.N. To the Editor: The unqualified hostility of Mr. Perit Huntington's attack upon the United Nations stirs my cur iosity. Why does he place such confidence in the opinion of Con gressman Utt? In his press conference the day following the Assembly adjourn ment. United States Ambassador Adlai Stevenson commented: "When the 17th General Assem bly convened exactly three months ago today, I reaffirmed most emphatically the high signifi cance that the government of the United States attached to the work of the United Nations, and I said we were 'more than ever convinced that the success or fail ure of this organization could well mean the difference between world order and anarchy.' "Now, at the conclusion of the 17th General Assembly, I should like to repeat that." In concluding his statement aft er a review of the Assembly's ac complishments, Ambassador Stev enson said: "I believe it would be well to remember that the UN Is not a sovereign power. Rather it is an instrument in the hands of its members, an instrument dedicat ed by its charter to certain com mon aims of peace, progress and justice, to a world order solid enough so that no nation need be stronger than its neighbor to be secure." George N. Shustor, retired pres ident of Hunter College, now a representative of the U.S. on the Executive Board of UNESCO, has written: "Now the world situation has changed dramatically. The need for effective international or ganizations is being more and more widely recognized, despite tension and strife in the UN it self. . .While there can be no doubt that a nation-to-nation ap proach is often most effective, situations arise in which it is quite impractical. An internation al agency is one in which many sensitive, nationalistic peoples have a share. They pay dues, however modest. They send dele gates who have a chance to ex press their views. Some think that accepting help or largesse direct ly from the U.S. revives memor ies of colonialism." With regard to the military en gagement in Korea, Mr. Hunting ton reflects only one of several interpretations. As to expressed concern for the protection of our constitutional rights, I have a packet prepared by the Special Committee on World Peace Through Law of the American Bar Association which sets forth the findings and recom mendations of that group.

And lastly, I quote PresIdeM John F. Kennedy as regards the United Nations: " The problem is the life of this organization. It . will either grow to meet the chal lenges of our age, or it will be gone with the wind, without in fluence, without force, without re spect. Were we to let it die to enfeeble its vigor to cripple its powers' we would condemn our future." Sincerely yours, Mrs. Marion Poor Bend, Oregon, July 23, 1963 King having to fend off Red charges By Al Kuettner UPI Staff Writer Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. cur-'. rently is having a rash of diffi culties defending his non-violent integration movement against ac cusations that it is being infil trated by workers for world com munism. King calls this a smokescreen by "segregationists and race baiU ers" to obscure and deflect the national move by Negroes for civ il rights. The latest incident on this score involves a rather mysterious fig ure known variously by four names but most often as Jack O'Dell. Two congressional commit tees have labeled him as part of the Communist setup in the Unit ed States. He has worked twice for King's Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), mostly as a money raiser. Following published reports last week that O'Dell still ran tha New York office of SCLC, King summoned reporters to insist that O'Dell had left the employment of his organization "by mutual consent" in June. This came despite a conflicting acknowledgement the same day from King's New Hork office that O'Dell still worked there as ad ministrator. King said the dis crepancy obviously was from con fusion and not fact. A spokesman for King later ex plained that O'Dell had dropped by the SCLC office on the day of inquiry but was not working there. King credits the flurry of Com munist charges to two Southern governors Ross Barnett of Mis sissippi and George Wallace ol Alabama who testified before the Senate Commerce Committee against the proposed new civil rights bill. Both held aloft a large newspaper photograph which they identified as a picture of King at tending a meeting at the High lander Folk School in Tennessee. They said this was a place fre quented by Communist sympathi zers. King also defended the school, now defunct because of a revoked charter, saying he had nothing to be ashamed of for be ing there the one time he paid a visit. But the problem still chases Jis nation's number one Negro civil rights chieftain. Currently, Geor gia Atty. Gen. Eugene Cook has "invited" King to tell him all ho knows. King has been defending himself and his movement against com munism since his early days as a leader of the Montgomery, Ala., bus boycott. In his book on that episode, "Stride Toward Free dom," he relates how in 1949 he studied the Communist manifesto and the writings of Karl Mane in an effort to "try to understand the appeal of Communism for . many people."
