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

PORTLAND (UPD -The Port

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.

on them.
i Last year, West Germans ;
bought S51.3 million wortn ot '

chicken imports have fallen to a
trickle.
"Fifty million dollars Is just a

1.2 billion dollars worth of agri

buys from the United States."
. Edmund H. Driggs, European di

"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
