Black Boycott Emulating their racial cousins in the southern United States, African nationalists are taking up the social weapon of economic boycott. Starting with a "day of self -denial" on June 26 on which the African National Congress will urge its mem bers in the Union of South Africa to buy nothing and to go to no form of entertainment non whites are asked to forego the buying of products of certain listed companies. The same weapon is ish colony of Uganda. The Uganda National Movement in April clamped down a trade boy cott on non- African merchants. The London Times about a month ago reported that the boy cott had been directed chiefly against the Indian traders but that it extended also to "such things as European-manufactured beer and soft drinks, and European-owned bus services." It was so thor ough around the community of Kampala that bus company receipts fell as much as 70 per cent. The boycott led to the banning of the Uganda National Movement by British authorities. But ac cording to one American observer, the nationalist organization continues to appear fin new guise after guise." DOYCOTTS in Africa, like other forms of Ghan- dian non-violence, are both ambitious and modest. For example, the All-African People's conference at Accra, Ghana, last December passed a resolution calling for a world-wide boy cott of South African exports.' Tom Mboya, the young nationalist agitator in Kenya, has been de manding an embargo iij protest against the racial policies of the white government of South Africa. And within South Africa, natives are boycotting potatoes in a demonstration against alleged ill treatment of laborers on On the other hand, the recent riots in Durban, South Africa, were accompanied by less drastic social protest. Africans in nearby Claremont put into effect a boycott of municipal buses. FRICAN riots understandably monopolize the headlines. As the points out, 'There is so much ground for general discontent in African life that a small incident is always liable like a spark falling on dry grass to set off a devastating bush fire." . And as dramatic as boycott proposed at Accra may appear, it would be virtually impossible of effective accomplish ment. Localized boycotts, such as that in Uganda, wiU be most hurtful in colonies of predominant African population where purchases are made from relatively few white merchants. South Afri ca has a substantial white population, so a boy cott there figures to be relatively less damaging. At tnat, linns that have been put on the boy cott lists of the African Nationalist Congress are trying to 'convince nationalist leaders that they are not supporting the government's racial policies. In the long pull, the effective in the overall tionalism and independence than violence, parti cularly the mindless, volcano-like violence of the Durban beerhall riots or the January uprisings in Leopoldville in the British Congo. But the boycott could prove a weapon too i?n cans, sua relatively ingenuous m political man agement. The ironic fact, especially in South Af rica, is that the first to be laid off in slack times resulting from a boycott would be the natives themselves. E.R.R. DeGaulle s First Year Hours after Gen. Charles De Gaulle was in vested on June 1, 1958, as the 25th and last lead er of France's Fourth Republic, a violent thunder storm broke over Paris, and a bolt of lighting struck the Elysee palace where De Gaulle was conferring with President Rene Coty and the new cabinet. - . One year, later, the meteorological prophecy is yet to be ' fulfilled. The nation's economy is strong than it has been in 20 years, and French grandeur has been partly reestablished through De Gaulle's personal eloquence and whipcord tough diplomacy. But the Algerian problem re mains as intractable as ever, and elections to the new Senate in April disclosed that beneath the Gaullist solidity the old divisions still linger. TO SOME extent, however, France's friends have been hoping for miracles that De Gaulle himself never promised to perform. Concerning Algeria, for example, he told a press conference in Paris recently: "I believe that the destiny of Algeria depends upon an immense task of long duration. Before anything is definitely settled, the efforts of a whole generation will be required." If the Vest continues to wish for sudden solu tions, it is because a generation is a long time and De Gaulle is 68. E.R.R.

Nixon looks upon his forthcoming mission to Moscow with the coolest of private detachment. He has disciplined himself to hope for very little -and also to walk a very tight rope, both a s the President's i emissary, and in connection with his own 1960 Presiden tial ambitions. He knows that there are both opportunities and dan gers to the West in his. trip. In the lesser and personal sense he knows, too, that while this assignment could do him much good as a politician it also could do him tremendous harm. To hear Mr. Nixon's views about this strangely challeng ing job is to be struck anew with the chill, rare objectivity with - which, privately," he looks at any political prob lem, vast or comparatively small. Approve him or not, this is surely one of the most self-contained and long-seeing politicians of our era. HE HAS no illusions that he can produce any great break in the cold war-which he really thinks of as likely to run on for a quarter-century. He does believe there is some possibility that his meetings with Soviet leaders may re sult in some rather negative improvement. He thinks, in short, that Nikita Khrushchev may be less likely, after his visit, to underestimate West ern determination and thus less likely to dare hot war by miscalculation. Humanly, moreover, the Vice-President welcomes this opportunity to test his poker faced skill in head-on conver sations with the Russians. Em phatically, however, he will attempt nothing in the way of direct negotiations. All this he will leave strictly to Sec retary of State Christian A. Herter and Mr. Eisenhower. Mr. Nixon is proud of his cor dial relationship with Mr. Herter and will do nothing to harm that relationship, in the interests both of the United States and of himself. Too, he is determined to say nothing publicly, in Rus sia or after he returns here, that could be called talking out of school. On this journey there will be no Nixon "leaks" -major or minor. SO MUCH or the Vice-President's purposes as to the Try and William S. Whit By BENNETT CERF- THHOMAS WOLFE, author of "Look Homeward Angel," made J- heavy weather out of the most minute chore. He called on his editor, the late Max Perkins, for lunch 'one day, and was nanaea a copy or his latest novel. "A friend asked me to get this autographed for him," explained Perkins. "Please sign it while I get my coat?' When Perkins returned, an agitated Wolfe was pac ing up and down the office. "I don't know what to write,", he confessed. He continued his pacing fully five minutes longer, then seized a pen and wrote on the flyleaf of the volume, "Yours hurriedly, Thomas Wolfe." ..

WHITE larger part of his mission. As to possible domestic po litical effects upon his own Presidential aspirations- the following can be read with confidence as representing the Vice-President's own analy sis: The unexpected circum stance that he will be in Mos cow while the Geneva foreign ministers conference is on its second and possibly fateful round sharpens his problem, He is fully aware that if there should be a collapse at Gene va or a weakening of the Western position his simultan eous presence in Moscow as a Soviet guest would be very bad news for him. TIE IS aware, indeed, that if the West, for illustration, made undue concessions to the Russians he might automata cally be put down by millions of voters, fairly or not, as "a new Neville Chamberlain, (Chamberlain, of course, was the British Prime Minister ac cused of "appeasing" Hitler in the thirties.) There is wry irony in this; for Mr. Nixon has , held the copyright on "toughness" towards commu nism. But Mr. Nixon also knows this: a sound cold-war settle ment to which he had visibly contributed would do much to break the challenge to his Presidential nomination from Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York. Finally, there has been un derstandable speculation that the presence in the Vice-President's delegation to Moscow of Dr. Milton Eisenhower might indicate a White House checkrein on Mr. Nixon. But the facts are these: Dr. Eisen hower, the President's broth er, is going in this way only because Mr. Nixon first brought up the idea and issued the invitation. The President, when he learned later of this, personally checked with Mr Nixon to make pertain that the Vice-President understood that.it was solely up to him alone as to whether he took or did not take Dr. Milton Eisenhower.

Stop Me PLEASC, AUTOGRAPH IT Matter of Fact Raid Into Ohio Washington - In the grand scramble for the Democratic Presidential nomination, the end of, the be ginning is at hand. Sen. John F. Ken nedy of Mass a c h usetts is very close to making the shy avowal that . he may just possibly Jnssi aisod d e a canai- date. This is always a fine mo ment when the first panting runner blushingly admits that he is running for some thing more than the exercise. If Kennedy's plan is not al tered in the interval, the mo ment will come for him after a week end raid into Ohio, where he is scheduled to have a cozy chat with Gov. Mike DiSalle. The subject of this delight-1 fully friendly talk will be Qhio s delegation to the Dem ocratic convention. With 58 delegates last time, Ohio is fourth in the list of states. Furthermore, the Ohio pri mary law requires Ohio dele gates to stay hitched until formally released by the can didates they are pledged to. It can be understood why Kennedy wants the entire Ohio delegation. ' AS IT happens, Gov. DiSalle also wants the Ohio dele gation, at least for trading purposes. Hence he has been making n o i s e s, about the shocking squalor of contested primaries and the desirability of keeping the peace among Ohio Democrats. He is ready to sacrifice himself in the cause of concord by becom ing Ohio's favorite son. There are also indications that Gov. DiSalle wants to do his trad ing vith Sen. Stuart Syming ton of Missouri- These indica tions make the thought of Gov- DiSalle's proposed self sacrifice especially painful to Sen. Kennedy. In short, what is in pros pect in Ohio is a repeat, on a much larger scale, of the fairly dramatic scene that took place last week between Kennedy and Maryland's Gov. Millard Tawes. Tawes was also making favorite son like noises. Kennedy there upon told him pretty straight out that if he could not get a solid pledge of the entire Maryland delegation, he would enter the Maryland primary to fight for it. As Tawes is friendly to the Ken nedy cause, the scene in Maryland ended with n o blood on the floor. ' WHERE Tawes was friend " ly, DiSalle is at least cool towards the Kennedy candidacy, if not downright hostile. Furthermore, the stake in Ohio is vastly bigger than the stake in Maryland. This time it is pretty hard to envision even a pretended happy ending. And it is known that if DiSaUe proves obdurate, Kennedy means to say good-bye to the Gover nor, and announce forthwith that he will enter the Ohio primary "if he becomes a candidate." Saying you will enter a primary if you are a candidate, is pretty close to unblushing office-seeking. The ritual pretenses of our political system lend these complex transactions an air of comedy. But behind the t r a ditional posturing (un avowed candidate into half avowed candidate into un blushing office-seeker) there is the grim reality of political combat. If Kennedy carries out his Ohio plan, the combat is likely to be very grim indeed. As Governor, DiSalle con trols a massive patronage roster, which he has used with considerable efficiency. Bucking this kind of state organization in a primary fight used to be thought the quickest way to political sui cide. But it has been done successfully nonetheless, and Kennedy evidently thinks he pan do it again. His plan is at once a mark of his strong confidence in his popular support, and a revelation of his fear that he cannot win at the Democratic convention unless he exploits his popular support to the utmost. THE projected Kennedy raid into Ohio is also one more proof of the Massachusetts Senator's present position as the front-runner in the Demo cratic race. It must be added, however, that the Kennedy lead has been challenged in recent weeks. For example, since Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson has empha sized his availability, a sur prising number of Northern and Western politicians have begun to argue that a candi date's personal stature ought to count more than his state-of-origin. Again, Sen. Hubert Humph rey has lately scored a con spicuous success in putting together a rather impressive organization i n Wisconsin. Six of the state's ten district leaders, including Milwau kee's powerful Chris Sera- By Joseph AIsop phim has signed up to help Humphrey fight the primary there; and Humphrey has also won significant farm and labor support. If Humphrey and Kennedy join battle in Wisconsin, all the advantages will certainly not be oh Ken nedy's side. In short, the projected Ken nedy raid in Ohio should be taken as an indication of the excitement of the Democratic race, and not as a. pointer to wards the outcome. (c) 1959 New York Herald Tribune Inc. I n the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS A London art dealer, act ing for a secret client, has paid a staggering world rec ord price of $700,000 for Peter Paul Rubens' canvas Adoration of the Magi." Other single paintings have sold for more than that, but in all such cases the deals were private. The recent price was the highest ever paid at public auction. THE SALE of the Rubens has another interesting sidelight. . It HAD to be sold, along with 87 other paintings, to pay off the massive inherit ance taxes on the estate of the late Duke of Westminster.

Fuchs Now Citizen Of East Germany Berlin - (UPD - Atom spy Klaus Fuchs, who was releas ed from a British prison last Tuesday, has become a citizen of Communist East Germany, the East German News Agency ADN has reported.

(By M-T Staff and Contributors) A Hornbrook residence is the scene of the following: "The use of the back door has had to be all but aban doned temporarily while a mother robin, hatches her brood in the vines on the back porch.

His is an interesting suc cess story of the Middle Ages. His father was a lawyer who was exiled from his native Flanders (now a part of Bel gium) because of his religion. When his father died, his mother moved to her native city of Antwerp. Thee young Peter Paul got a job as a page in a wealthy family and be gan his art education. His rise was rapid. In his early twenties, he went to Italy and entered the service of the Duke of Mantua, for whom he made many paint ings. A decade later, he went back to Antwerp. He was al ready famous. Pupils flocked to his studio and princes vied with each other for his friendship. He lived in luxury in a great mansion filled with masterpieces . of ancient art, Marie de Medici next after Catherine, the most famous of the Medicis - invited him to paint a series of paintings representing scenes from her life. By then he had it made. HE WAS more than painter. Under the Duke of Mantua, he got a good schooling in diplomacy, and in his middle years he was sent by the ruler of Flanders on a diplo matic mission to the court of Spain. A year later, he was appointed Flemish envoy to the fcourt of Charles I of Eng land. In that job, he succeed ed in patching up a peace between England and Spain, and was honored with titles by the ruler of both king doms. . Although much hampered by sickness, he lived in lux ury all the rest of his life, but continued painting. His wealth never stopped him from working. If all his paint ings could be assembled in one spot and sold at one time at presently prevailing prices, the sum would stagger even a modern tycoon. THIS PIECE begun on a light and pleasant theme. Let's end it on a grimmer note. A year and a half ago, in January of 1958, a red-headed youngster and his girl friend went on a two-state crime spree back in the Mid west, in the course of which they killed 11 persons. The girl friend is now serving a life sentence for her part in the rampage, and a few minutes after midnight, the red-head died in the elec tric chair in Nebraska. WHAT shall we say of it? ' . Well, the death penalty will NOT, stop crime. Thous ands of years of history at test that fact. But WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH PEOPLE OF THE TYPE OF STARK WEATHER? In the case of a rabid ani mal, we know the answer. We put it OUT OF THE WAY and take no more chances. That's about all that can be said.
