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

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."

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."

Attorney General Bobby Kennedy is a. practical joker. For ex

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.

Negroes Said Asking

BY LYLE C. WILSON

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

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."

House Tackles .
Tax Reform Bill
Vashington-llPD-HoU5e tax
legislators resumed work to
day on drafting a bill con
taining administration pro
posals for tax reduction and
reform.
The House Ways and Means
Committee has been recessed
for three weeks to allow staff
members time to draft a tenta
tive measure after lengthy
hearings held earlier this
year.
Before the tax bill can be
sent to the House floor for a
vote, the committee must still
act on three areas:
1-Make final decisions on
the many structural changes
in the tax code; 2-Decide It It
wants to continue favorable
tax rates now provided on in
come from stock dividends:
and decide how much to re
duce Individual and coroprate
income tax rates.
So far, the bill Is expected
to provide a cut of between
$8 billion and $10 billion in
individual and corporate In
come taxes. Its chances of
final passage are considered
better than 50-50 despite the
legislative tieup threatened
by the coming fight over civil
rights legislation.
