Norfolk School Referendum
Norfolk, Va., voters go to the polls tomorrow
to express their feelings on reopening public
schools on a racially integrated basis. f
The referendum is advisory only. But the re
sult will be awaited all over the South, for the
poll appears to be no such cut-and-dried affair as
was the Sept. 27 election in Little Rock, Ark. In
that one, racial integration in public schools was
voted down by a 19,470 to 7,561 margin. .
Among the important differences are these :
The people of Little Rock were still smarting un
der the experience of armed federal intervention
in the school-race crisis. The vote came only 12
days after the schools were to have opened.
DUT in Norfolk, six white high schools and jun
. ior high schools, slated to open Sept. 2, will
have been closed for 2Y2 months, with 10,000
white pupils out of regular classes. Ironically, a
Negro high school opened on Sept. 29. Moreover,
Norfolk, a city of more than 250,000, is highly in
dustrialized, and hence probably more receptive
to eventual integration than less urban areas.
The mere fact that a referendum is being held
in Norfolk is indicative of dissatisfaction with
closed schools. Under Virginia law, if both the
school board and the local government request
it, the governor in his discretion may return a
closed school to the community to be operated on
an integrated basis though without state school
aid.
The Norfolk school board had asked the city
council to make such a request of Gov. J. Lindsay
Almond, despite the prospect of losing some
$850,000 in state funds. The council decided to
ask the voters' advice.
TTHE specific question on the ballot is: "Shall
the council of the city of Norfolk, pursuant
to state law, petition the governor to return to
the City control of the schools, now closed, to
be operated on an integrated basis as required by
the federal court?"
The ballot also carries a paragraph "for in
formation only" that explains that the automatic
cut-off of state school aid would mean that a
substantial tuition" would be required for each
pupil.
Gov. Almond has called Sen. Harry F. Byrd's
re-election Nov. 4 a mandate to continue massive
resistance. Actually, Byrd's .winning percentage
was less than in 1952, and his principal opponent
this year was a woman, a political novice run
ning as an independendent. And in Norfolk the
Byrd margin fell off sharply from '52. E.R.R.
Parkers Revolt
Garage and parking lot operators may ac
complish what U. S. senators, mayors, governors,
traffic experts, and just
haven't been able to swing so far a reverse in
the trend of U. S. automobiles to leviathan
lengths.
Throughout the county garage operators
are applying economic pressure in what may be
the first stage of an open revolt. For some months
garages here and there had been offering to park
small foreign cars at cut rates. In early October
the City Auto Parks Co., of St. Louis, ran news
paper ads announcing that the 1959 Cadillacs,
nine inches longer than the 1958's, were just too
long, too low, and covered with too many expen
sive gadgets for any of the firm s six lots to risk
trying to park them.
THE IDEA quickly gained sympathy from gar
n ret oii A Irtf Annvnf aw in XTwit VtTr C fir
dc- anu iut uiatvio ah iitv auia
But instead of barring the newer and wider
1959's, the Metropolitan Garage Board of Trade,
representing 400 Manhattan and Bronx operators,
voted to boost charges on these by 15 to 35 per
cent. The association pointed out that many medium-priced
and luxury '59's were up to Zy2 inches
wider and 10 inches longer than last year's mod
els. On Nov. 6, a Washington operator, L. B. Dog
eet, Jr., president of the capital's Parking Associ
ation and past president
Association, announced
trend. Instead of raising
from Detroit, Dogget is
of a downtown lot one of 17 he operates for
small cars at a lower rate.
DY small, he means any Vehicle measuring 612
by 14 feet. The rate reduction is about one
third. Forty of the cars can be packed in spaces
which wouW hold 28 "normal" cars by 1959
standards of normality.
Parking lot masterminds of the U. S. State
Department probably kicked off the revolt un
knowingly back in March, when they found they
could park 20 small foreign cars in the space re
quired for 13 standard-size models.. The public
ity given this triumph of bureaucracy set others
thinking. E.R.R.

Washington Report
By William
THE UNSINKABLE
Washington - Harold E.
Stassen has been in national
politics for two decades -
and he is the
man nobody
really knows.
He is a .large,
still-faced to
tal mystery
a character
who when re
peatedly run
over not on
ly refuses to
William S White lie down but
even denies that the truck ev
er passed his way at all.
It is far easier to assess the
significance of Stassen's lat
est "dump Nixon" movement
-which he proclaimed after
visiting President Eisenhow-er-than
to understand in a
human way the author of
this movement.
The question as to what
Stassen has accomplished
poses no great riddle. He has
dropped a very noisy brick
on the steps of the White
House-and on the large and
sensitive toes of the Republi
can National committee. At
least a majority of that com
mittee's members are neutral
-neutral, that is, in favor of
Vice-President Richard M.
Nixon's nomination for Pres
ident in 1960.
THE harm done to Mr. Nix
on, however, is certainly
far less severe than that done
to the nervous systems of the
Republican pros. These are
now in a recurring state of
astonished e x a s p e ration.
They can't figure out Stassen
any more than anybody else
can, and this annoys them no
end.
If Mr. Nixon's ambitions
have been little damaged, it
is possibe that a tiny jar has
been suffered by Governor
elect Nelson Rockefeller of
New York. For Stassen's fam
ous list of the four possibil
ities" who could win the
Presidency for the Republic
ans was resplendently headed
by. the name Rockefeller and
thunderously silent about the
name Nixon.
Mr. Stassen-to Mrs. Rocke
feller's pained embarrass
ment, this correspondent is
informed - has climbed upon
a Rockefeller bandwagon be
fore there is either a wagon
or a band. Thus, while every
body understands what Mr.
Stassen is trying to do, it is
hard to find anybody who un
derstands how he expects to
do it.
The problem is this: so far
as eye and ear can discern,
Mr. Stassen's present active
supporters could caucus in
any telephone booth.
HIS most recent sortie be
fore this had left him
wounded on the fields of
Pennsylvania some would
have thought mortally
wounded considering that he
lost by 2 to 1 in his try at the
gubernatorial nomination.
Moreover, even before this
disaster - or, rather, what
would have been a disaster to
anybody but Stassen - he had
been allowed to end by resig
nation his services to the Eis
enhower administration. He
had been, somewhat inappro
priately, the Presidents' chief
adviser on disarmament.
And before this - er - set
back, Stassen had, of course,
challenged Mr. Nixon s re-
nomination as Vice-President
in 1956 and had been left daz
ed and bleeding by the road
side at the San Francisco con
vention. All this, however, has not
for a moment dashed the spir
ite of this indestructible, this
unsinkable, man For the most
interesting thing about Stas
sen is more than politically
interesting - it is humanly interesting.
SHE SHOULDN'T HATE
GOT A CAT.
S. White
TTE HAS repealed some of
" the natural laws govern
ing the human personality.
Defeated, he simply and total
ly denies the fact of defeat.
Embarrassed, he simply and
totally denies the fact of em
barrassment. His .inner re
sources against the slings and
arrows are incredible. When
President Eisenhower pulled
a very small rug from under
his feet at San Francisco,
Stassen, without moving a
facial muscle, went out to the
convention hall and almost
prayerfully intoned a bless
ing upon Nixon's renomina
tion. Those who saw him at the
time close up tried in vain to
discover how Stassen felt at
what had happened to him.
It was impossible; it was as
though nothing whatever had
happened.
In his broad, absolutely
opaque face there is not a
chemical trace of any emo
tion no sadness, no anger,
no resentment, no discomfort.
He is armed, surely, as. few
men are armed by an unshak
able sense of inner lightness
- overlaying the most pro
found absence of a sense of
humor in American politics.
At a cocktail party the
wife of one of the correspon
dents present remarked in a
routinely social way: "Gover
nor, you must come to dinner
some time."
"I should be willing," Stas
sen replied solemnly, "so
long as it is clearly under
stood, in advance, that it will
all be off the record."

Affects Others
To the Editor: Your recent
interesting editorial on alco
hol referred to the relaxing
benefits to be obtained from
its limited use. That is true,
just as its extended use causes
suffering and crime. But I
wish to add two points.
The Metropolitan Life In
surance company published
some statistics covering the
lives of policy holders who
started at least in good health,
or they could not have become
insured. Their figures must be
accurate, or . the insurance
company will become bank
rupt. Obviously they can not
predict the individuals who
will die next year, but they
know very closely just how
many.
These figures showed that
even a small consumption of
alcohol decreased life ex
pectancy 6 per cent.
So if one is much happier to
drink a little, it would seem
that he should have the legal
right to do so, provided his
life did not affect anyone else
adversely-say as with Robin
son Crusoe before he met Man
Friday. It would truly be "his
own funeral." ,
But even a little does affect
others. A little just before
driving is a sample, and that
combined with heavy drinking
by others makes the whole
picture pretty dark.
So I think it a fair question
to ask a Christian if he is
justified to drink at all. Saint
Paul would not even eat such
food as meat, if he thought his
example would affect weaker
men.
To summarize: 1. Moderate
drinking does shorten life. 2.
It sets dubious example.

Matter of Fact By Joseph Alsop
THE HIDDEN ARGUMENT
Beirut, Lebanon In this
sunny city, where surface
tranquility has been precari
ously restored,
it is not easy
to continue a
discussion of
the nuclear
deterrent. But
some thing
about the
Pent agon's
hidden argu
ment is abso-
.losipb Aisop luieiy neces
sary, in order to complete the
previous report on this pre
cedented, all-important sub
ject. .
The theory outlined in this
earlier report is not disputed
by anyone in the Defense De
partment. The retaliatory
power of the American Stra
tegic Air Command will un
questionably be gravely weak
ened, when Soviet nuclear
striking power includes a pan
oply of guided missiles of all
ranges. There is no argument
about that. There cannot be
any argument, because no one
who pretends to know the
score can deny the damaging
effects of such developments
as the neutralization of SAC's
overseas air bases.
There is much argument at
the Pentagon, however, about
another, very closely related
question. Will this prospect of
weakening the American nu
clear deterrent be so serious
that the deterrent will cease
to deter?
IN the face of attacks, the
deterrent may well cease to
deter. After all, the existing
retaliatory power of the Stra
tegic Air Command has been
represented as an irreducible
minimum for safety for the
last five years. Not only that,
either; SAC's existing power
has been accepted as an ir
reducible ' minimum by an
economy-minded Administra
tion and by the Joint Chiefs of
Staff representing other, bit
terly hostile branches of the
armed services. Therefore it
seems logical to suppose that
our retaliatory power will be
far below the safe minimum,
when SAC's strength has been
depleted by three-quarters or
more 'by the competing
growth of Soviet missile
strength. The Defense Department
leaders who reject this logic
have to make certain highly
controversial a s s u m p t ions,
which are also the subject of
much argument. For example,
it has always been the an
nounced policy of the Amer
ican government not to ask
the SAC pilots or any other
American pilots to undertake
one-way missions. It is on the
record, and the record has
never been corrected, that all
war paths involve only two
way missions, from an Amer
ican air base to the target and
back to an American air base.
BUT the prospect of neutral
ization of the overseas air
bases will prevent the use of
a high proportion of SAC's
compartively shortrange B-47
bombers. They will be literal
ly unusable if the two-way
mission rule is adhered to.
This is a deeply serious mat
ter, since the B-47's comprise,
and will long continue to com
prise, about three-quarters ct
SAC's entire force. Therefore
tbe solution is now being
made that the twoway mis
Fion rule be abandoned or at
least modified.
It will be all right, it is
4 -j ft
But they are not likely to
promote a nuclear world war
unless the West threatens one
of their vital interests.
That is the rather grim out
look for the near future in
Soviet-Western relations as
seen by Western diplomats
with long experience of deal
ing with Soviet the men who
are having to deal with them
is two Geneva conference
tables right now.
These diplomats believe the
Kremlin's foreign policy is
going through one of its per
iodical major shifts. It is per
haps the most significant
change of wind since Nikita
Khrushchev threw "Stalin
ism" overboard and gave the
world the gleaming but, as
it turned out, only temporary
hope of a thaw in the East
West cold war.
Today the pendulum ap
pears to have swing right
back again. The world is wit
nessing a return to "Stalin
ism," at least in Russia's for
eign policy.
Reds Start New Offensive
The swing-back is marked
by a new soviet cold war of
fensive. It hit the West first in the
Middle East last summer, then
in the Far East in September
and now has struck again in
Europe-the most critical and
most potentially explosive
point in East-West relations.
So far it has been marked
by:
-Russia's threat against the
West in Berlin.
-Stepped up Soviet propa-
said, if planning is based on
B-47 missions which will give
the crews a chance to hit their
targets and then bail out in a
neutral country, without re
turning to an American air
base. If this chance is made,
far more B-47's can be used
for a one-shot retaliatory
strike. But this is a technical
change of such importance
that it has decided strategic
significance.'
More important still, anoth
er argument is also going on
about the proper targets of
our retaliatory strikes. Once
again, it is on the public rec
ord, and the record has never
been corrected, that SAC's
first priority target-system is
the structure of the enemy's
nuclear striking power.
But this structure is an im
mensely complex and far
spreading traget-system, re
quiring many bombing mis
sions to destroy. Numerous
aircraft, all laying down their
bombs with considerade pre
cision, are needed to wipe out
the air bases, the missile
launching sites and the other
elements of Soviet nuclear
striking power. Far fewer
aircraft, bombing almost at
random, can pretty well wipe
out the Soviet people and the
Soviet land, by using big,
dirty H-bombs. It is . one of
the paradoxes of the H-bomb
age, in fact, that it is much
easirer to destroy another na
tion than to destroy that na
tion s means of destroying
you.
rpHIS proposal for changing
the target-priorities is now
beginning to be heard. Let
the military targets be for
gotten. Let the land and the
people be made the first pri
ority targets. Then the Soviets
will know that even if .their
first blow takes out almost all
of SAC, the retaliatory strikes
by whatever is left over will
still be very terrible. And so,
according to this argument,
the deterrent will contine to
deter, and the first blow will
not be struck.
These are in fact the argu
ments that have been used by
the highest American officials,
in answer to this reporter's
inquiries about prospective
weakening of SAC's power
during the missile gap. In
themselves, they constitute
the best measure of the way
our nuclear deterrent is due
to be weakened. In them
selves, they also reveal the
nightmarish character of the
period we are soon to enter.
But surely it will be better
to make a great and urgent
effort to modify the night
mare by strengthening the de
terrent. And if this effort can
not be paid for without a na
tional sales tax, then surely
it is better to impose a a na
tidnal sales tax. Almost 'any
thing is better than wander
ing further down the road
that the Administration has
seemingly chosen and
chosen, too, without telling
the country where the road
leads.

back to "Stalinism."
The renewed Dressure on
Berlin, 'the repeated, polite
but relentless Russian "nyet"
at the Geneva conference
table, Moscow's moves to iso
late and insulate "heretic" Ti
toist Yugoslavia politically
and economically from the
rest of the Communist world,
Poland's restoration to the
fold all add up to the ines
capable conclusions that:
"Stalinism" is back to
stay.
-Russia is in a tougher,
more determined mood than
ever.
-Russia will be harder to
deal with than ever in the
past.
-Although Khrushchev pro
bably would not deliberately
provoke a war, he is ready to
push the West to the very
brink.
