Radio Free Europe affempfs fo answer Communist affacks on U.S. race situation By Al Kuettner UPI Staff Writer Radio Free Europe is a privately-supported organization that transmits Western "truth" behind the Iron Curtain into Czechoslo vakia, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria and Romania. In the course of attempting to ! answer Communist attacks with what it calls an "unvarnished pic ture" of the racial situation in the U.S. South, RFE sent two newsmen into Dixie for three weeks. Their interviews, and RFE "Commentary" are being used for four half-hour programs broadcast from two transmitters in West Germany and one in Por tugal. A striking note about the com plete 500 page transcript is that it skips reactions that are more conservative than middle-of-the-road. The agency's news chief, Horst Pezall, a native of Berlin, Germany, explains this way: "Members of extremist groups, such as the Black Muslims and the White Citizens Council, were not interviewed. The people of the countries we reach were getting plenty of the extremist point of view from the Communist propa gandists." Here are samples of how the racial situation was reported by Radio Free Europe: RFE Commentary: "There is a very real sense of optimism among Negro leaders and com plete concensus among whites. . . that the racial barriers that exist today are certain to fall." Gov. Terry Sanford of North Carolina: "What is needed is a new emancipation proclamation from the bigotry of the past. . . the people of North Carolina are realizing it is simply not right and moral to deprive people of a chance to make the most of their abilities." Mayor Stanley R. Brookshiro of Charlotte, N.C.: "The choice should not be too difficult if we admit in all honesty that discrim ination based on the color of a man's skin is legally and morally wrong and economically un sound." RFE Commentary: "Most Equal study rights due PORTLAND (UPD -The Port land School Board Monday night named a 43-member committee, headed bv a circuit judge, to 'determine if Negro students are being denied equal rights in the public school system here. Circuit Judge Herbert M. Swab heads the committee, which Includes leaders in business, labor, professional religious, and educa tion fields. Objectives were, listed as re commendation of corrective steps if it Is found Negro students are denied equal opportunities: to re commend what mught be done to improve achievement of students in culturally depreived areas, and to recommend what UY? school system might do to eliminate un reasoned racial prejudice by school children.

Mayor Ivan Allen of Atlanta: Opposition faced by domestic Peace Corps bid WASHINGTON (UPI) - Sen. Harrison A. Williams, D-N.J., said today President Kennedy s proposed domestic Peace Corps would bring hope to "millions of Americans still living in poverty, deprivation and despair." Williams made the comments in remarks prepared for the opening round of Senate debate on the administration plan to cre ate a national service corps of volunteers patterned after the successful overseas Peace Corps. The measure faced the cold re ality of sharp opposition from de termined foes. Senate GOP Leader Everett M. Dirksen, 111., served notice in ad vance that he would move to have the measure sent back to a committee pigeon hole. Failing this, Dirksen said, he hoped to muster enoueh opposition votes to take the bloom off the bill and lessen its chances for approval in a more hostile House. Sen. John G. Tower. R-Tex., said he would offer several civil rights amendments to require that the corps be racially inte grated, and barring any projects in areas which practice discrim ination. Authorizes Fundi The bill authorizes an initial outlay of $5 million to start the proposed program and recruit up to 300 volunteers. Enrollments would expand to 1,000 by June 30 of next year, and eventually reach 5,000 in per' haps three years. The cost would rise as the program expanded. Corpsmen would receive a min imal living allowance and a monthly stipend of $75. Volun teers both youths and men and women of retired age would assist such local projects as the care of the elderly and disabled, mentally ill, help in rural and urban slums and on Indian reser vations. Backers argued that corps per sonnel, working under the super, vision of local officials, would provide a "new dimension of service at home." The goal of the corps will bo, "by the efforts of a few, to ignite the energies of many," a com mittee report explained. "By pro viding an opportunity for Ameri cans to serve their nation in peace. . .the corps will reempha- size the traditional American pre cepts of neighborly concern and the value of local solutions to local problems."

"There is no question but that 'Jie acuteness (of racial demonstra tions) brought more forcefully to the attention of the American public the necessity for the elim ination of some of the discrimina tory practices that were being ex ercised." Mayor William O. Cowger of Louisville, Ky.: "If you were to take a poll of the man m the stroet in most Southern cities I know of, you would find a lot more moderates than you will strong segregationists." RFE Commentary: "The assas sination of Medgar Evers (the Jackson Negro civil rights lead er) so unified and hardened the Negro position that now there re mains no real middle ground be tween the two races. There seems to be a fatalistic belief on both sides that a violent showdown is inevitable." What next? 'instant beer' may come soon CINCINNATI, Ohio (UPD-The unsullied pleasure of a bottle or can of cold beer may soon be corrupted by an ersatz product called "instant beer." Delegates to the 27th biennial convention of the International Brewery Workers Union were told today that the just-add-water product may soon be ready for distribution. Although automation and new processing methods among them "instant beer" are causing concern among the union's top ranks, the new product is viewed with mixed reaction among the rank-and-file. The process involves quick freezing fresh beer and removing the water in the form of ice. The concentrate can then be shipped in tank cars and "recon stituted" at bottling plants scat tered around the country. Ship ping costs would be cut 75 per cent. "The process would be a bene fit to the big breweries with na tional distribution," James Wolfe, union director of education and research said. "By having bott ling centers in several places, they might cut into the business of local breweries." "While we might lose some jobs at the big brewing centers, we might pick up more jobs at the new rcconstitution points, he added. But Wolfe said he had no idea of how the beer-drinking mem bers of the union would take to the new product. 821 Wall . . . and you're in carpet heaven at CLAYPOOL furniture co.

Common Market Commission in ; i Brussels virtually banned the , ; cheaper American frozen chickens j by clamping a prohibitive tariff on them. i Last year, West Germans ; bought S51.3 million wortn ot ' 1 poultry from the United States. ; Since the tariff boost, American chicken imports have fallen to a trickle. "Fifty million dollars Is just a drop In the bucket compared to 1.2 billion dollars worth of agri cultural products West Germany buys from the United States." . Edmund H. Driggs, European di ; rector of the Institute of Ameri can Poultry Industries, said. "But what happened to the chickens could happen to other commodities." Become Test Case The chickens have become a test case in whet seems to shape up as a trade war between the j economic giants of the Western world, the United States and the j Commun market. i The French, eager to dump their diickcn surplus on the West German market at the expense of the Americans, apparently thought they already had won the war. But then the United States threatened to strike back at the spot where it hurts most the pocketbook. By pitting the Volks wagen and other vulnerable Com mon Market exports against the chickens, it hoped to reach a compromise. If the American threats are implemented, West Germany will be hit worse than other Common Market countries, the Federal Economics Ministry complained. And a spokesman for the coun try's export-aimed electrical in- J dustry lamented bitterly: 'IThose stupid Diros aid au me damage. Consumers Like Them The West German consumers seem to like the "stupid birds" from America. the Forest products for many of our nation's "new housing starts" begin their Journey at lumber mills In the Pacific Northwest. The most efficient way to ship these products is the automated rai way. On Union Pacific, automatic traffic controls, electronic ccmmunlcations, modern loco pounas. West Germans once regarded 'red chicken as upper-crust fare ranked not far below caviar. Tntn 'hev discovered they could afford to buy American broilers. Corner grocers installed dec- trie fryers for the take home trade, and chicken restaurants shot up throughout the country. German cook books came out with "southern friend" recipes, Even the entertainment Indus- got on tne bandwagon with the hit tune "Brathcndl Polka" (Fried Chicken Polka), a ditty j popularized by a Bavarian hill- j billy. But the boom ended abruptly when the Common Market com mission raised the tariff on j American broilers. Chicken con sumption in West Germany de-1 clined 20 per cent. Consumers : switched to other meat rather ! than pay a premium for Euro-1 pean poultry.
