Thoroughfare Thromb osis Capital Pushes Ahead to Standstill In Problem of Mass Transportation By DICK WEST the great cities of America suffer from a chronic metro- Dolitan mala- V'Ji j. , "$',i ay Known s& naraening 01 the traffic ar teries. It is generally agreed that unless s o m e thing is done the nation's urban areas West wiu eventual- succumb to an attack of ly WILL BE All D ay Tomorrow Preparing for the SHOE SALE of all SHOE SALES! ! Starting Wednesday, 9 a.m. thoroughfare thrombosis. It also is generally asr that the only solution to the problem lies in the improve ment of mass transportation. I am not aware of what measures other cities are tak ing, but I am pleased to report that the nation's capital is act ing with alacrity, or, putting it another way, is forging ahead to a standstill. Seldom a month goes by that some government or pri vate agency doesn't bring out an illustrated brochure that provides an artist's concept of I a mass transportation system &j j for Washington. copies seni 10 ion gresi and the White House, where officials look at the pictures and exclaim "isn't that interesting brush work!" Then the traffic department changes the direction of one way streets again, and that takes care of mass transporta tion until the next brochure is issued. The feverish pace that has made Washington the top U.S. city in the development of mass transportation brochures already is producing benefi cial results. For one thing, it provides employment for a large num ber of artists. For another, it gives motorists something to read while they are waiting for traffic to become un jammed. The latest brochure to come to my attention takes the form of a report to President Ken nedy from O. Roy Chalk, head of the local transit company and leading builder of air castles. When Chalk conies to grips with mass transportation, he doesn't fool around with any ordinary subway system, which the bulk of us com muters would be willing to settle for. Chilk's brochure pro vides an artist's concept of mass transpotration by means of "pneumatic tuba systems," "ground effect m a c h 1 nes," "superrails," "monobeams," "hydrofoils" and carveyors. I'll tell you it makes mighty fine reading, especially when you are waiting for one of Chalk's buses to show up. "I don't know what Presi dent Kennedy's reaction to the brochure was, but I'll bet he liked it, too. I imagine he particularly admired the drawing of the ' hydrofoil, which looks something like a PT boat. As for me, my favorite is the "monobeanV although I think that is a typographical error. I think Chalk intended it to be "moonbeam." I can see us all now, whisk ing around the capital, to and from the suburbs, on moon beams. The use of moonbeams for transportation implies, of course, that we could only ride at night, which would be a serious drawback. But I ex pect someone will solve that problem in the next brochure. Macmillan Likened To Churchill Rusper, England - IOTP. - Ian MacLeod, joint chairman of the ruling Conservative party, Saturday likened embattled Prime Minister Harold Mac millan to Sir Winston Church ill. MacLeod, conservative lead er in the House of Commons, told party supporters they owed much to Macmillan's sure judgment and political instincts and this was reason to discount opinion polls which showed falling Tory fortunes. "When historians come to write their accounts of this part of the 20th century they will give Harold Macmillan a place among Conservative prime ministers second only to the noble wartime premier ship of Winston Churchill himself," he said. "Take no notice of the Gal lup polls. They are a forecast of what might happen if there was to be a general election tomorrow. But there will be no election this year." Try ancl Stop Me By BENNETT CERF FROM Critic George Oppenheimer: A circus owner caught his trainer administering a merciless beating to the most valuable elephant in the troupe. "Stop:" roared the owner. "What's the idea of beating that poor ani mal?" The trainer explained grimly, "He tripped in the middle of his act this evening." The owner cried, "Do you mean to say you're beating him just because he tripped?" "Just because he tripped, my left eyebrow!" said the trainer or words to that effect. "He tore the tails out of all your six other elephants." 7-w Attorney General Bobby Kennedy is a. practical joker. For ex ample, when he sent a homemade cake to Bureau of Prisons Director J. V. Bennett, he thoughtfully had a nie baked into it. Another practical joker, as all TV fans must know, is Allen Funt of "Candid Comera." He disguised himself so cleverly as an attractive girl at one Hollywood party that Jack Benny asked him for a dance. Overheard at a mountain resort: "I'll tell you how good my son, the doctor, has become after one year of practice: in three weeks'he cured that rich Mrs, Smythe of JH00!" Q J963. bv Bnn"U c.rf ni.trthut.d b Kinr' Future SyndicmM Negroes Said Asking For Redemption of Campaign Promises BY LYLE C. WILSON UP! Correspondent The American way of deal ing with civil rights and re lations between Negro and white citizens would have been a resort to the ballot box in local and state elections. In this crisis of race re lations, the American way failed to meet the challenge. This failure to cope with a great national problem is the most frightening aspect of the whole gloomy scene. American citizens should inform themselves as to the circumstances by which they permitted themselves to be entrapped in the existing race relations deadfall. When the O -J.

Promises Not Redeemed This essay is to propose that the major blame for the situation now confronting me and my fellow citizens shall be assessed against the shame less politicians of both major parties. These shameless ones made to Negroes presidential campaign promises they have not redeemed. Pure humbug. It is fair to suspect that some or all of them had no inten tion of redeeming the prom ises tossed out as bait during the presidential campaign to Negro voters. It Is reasonable to believe that some of these promises were impossible of redemption and, further, that the politicians knew this when the promises were made. It is customary now to blame Negro leaders for tak ing their civil rights argu ments into the streets, their fists clutching bats of brick or clubs and their minds set toward trouble. These Ne groes own their share of blame, right enough. But what about politicians, who pro mised in I960 about what the Negroes are demanding in 1963. The South is furious with the Kennedy brothers for their efforts in behalf of civil rights. But give the Kennedys credit. They did try to deal with civil right at the ballot box, the American way. When that did not work and the riots began in the streets, the Kennedys returned' to their platform promises. They were stuck yvlth them. With a presidential election just around the corner, there was no alternative. The voting Negroes in the North and East were ready to call their political loans. King Explains Visit To School Atlanta - IUPD - Negro inte gration leader Martin Luther King Jr. said Saturday his only visit to the Highlander Folk school was for a speech he made at the school's 25th anniversary program. King said that a charge by Gov. Ross Barnett of Missis sippi that he attended classes at the school "is so utterly re diculous and erroneous that it hardly merits comment." King said a picture of him at the school which Barnett showed a Senate committee yesterday in Washington ap parently was taken during the 25th anniversary visit. "This brief visit was the only time that I ever attended a meeting at the school," King said. In regard to Barnett's charge that Uie Monteagle, Tcnn., school was involved with communism, King said, "I am convinced that High lander Folk school wa3 neither communist nor com munist Inspired."
