Mr. Kaplan’s Mr. Twain say martin a. Oo~<Qw oS LETTERS ' the cadets Dear Sirs: As a former faculty member at the Air Force Academy, I would like to take issue with “Why the Cadets Cheat” by J. Arthur Heise; The Nation, May 15, First of all, it appeared to me to be a perfect example of a post hoc ergo propter hoc argument. There can.obvi- ously be no doubt that cheating did occur and there is also no doubt that Mr. Heise does state certain “facts” concerning educational procedures at the Academy. But at no time does he put these together in any meaningful cause-and-effect relationship. . . . Mr. Heise takes Representative Talcott completely out of context to reinforce the disputable logic mentioned earlier. First of all, he neglects to mention Mr. Talcott’s introductory statements. Let me quote one of them: By every accepted criteria, the Academy is ac- complishing its mission superbly. To have achieved such high levels of attainment in such a short period is remarkable. Many can share the credit—the U. S. taxpayer, the Air Force, the Academy staff and its instructors, and the Cadet Wing. ' The only statements which Mr. Talcott makes which are in any way similar to the charges brought by Mr. Heise are those which pertain to “Faculty Meetings” and “Excessive Emphasis on Symbols.” It is very interesting to me that’ Mr. Heise, who occupied a position in the Academy library, feels himself quali- fied to condemn an educational program which has not been found wanting by many who, on academic creden- tials, would appear to be far more qualified... .. . It appears to me that Mr. Heise has simply not done his homework. I think he began with a conclusion and then found some “facts” which would prove his point. . . . The greatest disservice which Mr. Heise has done to the Academy is to imply that the academic atmosphere is completely regimented. I taught for more than five years and at no time did anyone tell me how I had to conduct my classes... . Ross C. Alm, Lt. Col., USAF, former associate professor of English and Speech, USAF Academy Cheektowaga, N. Y. Dear Sirs: Colonel Alm merely identifies himself as a former Air Force Academy faculty member. I feel it im- portant to note—in view of his epithet-laced charges— that he is presently assigned to the office of the Academy’s chief of staff, to a job which, according to Academy sources, includes the public relations duty of writing speeches for the school’s superintendent. Colonel Alm charges that I took Representative Talcott out of context. In turn, he quotes one paragraph from the Congressman’s dissenting views appended to the 1965 report of the Board of Visitors. It is the only totally complimentary paragraph on the Academy’s overall suc- cesses and is followed by this, the next line: “Having given well deserved credit, I offer the following comment as con- structive criticism.” It continues for 5 pages, ranging over various Academy activities. After touching on faculty Meetings (“. . . as known in quality universities, are not utilized at the Academy”), symbols of success, heavy work- loads, failure by the faculty to detect cheating, he said: Although the dean tendered statistics to dispel the misinformed charge of excessive academic pressures, I believe we should not dismiss the possibility com- pletely and that the pervasive emphasis upon scores and other symbols, rather than upon substantive learn- ing and the acquisition of knowledge, contributed to, or was symptomatic of, the cheating incident. (Continued on page 20) ae Wall of Words The war of nerves has replaced the clash of arms as a | means to alter the map of the Middle East. The choice 4} of the General Assembly as the arena for this verbal con- frontation, and the decision of Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin to lend solemnity and drama to the occasion by 9} appearing in person have assured the maximum echo to }} this grand exercise in diplomatic pressure. . What can be achieved in the circumstances is another matter. The stage was set the very first day by the state- 7 ments of Premier Kosygin and President Johnson (the }} latter addressed to the General Assembly even though 4}, spoken from Washington). The American proposals, later }} amplified by Ambassador Goldberg, were eminently 7}| “reasonable” and would indeed be constructive, if they could be taken out of the context of an essentially emo- 4); tional conflict. But the Palestinian question is not now—7 and, in fact, has never been—a problem in arithmetic, 7} where advantages and concessions can be balanced for )} the greatest benefit of all. It is a problem of two-way com-_ munication, and only if communication is established can concrete issues like borders, refugees, free navigation and economic development be tackled. The American call for negotiations, with or without a third party, is as unrealistic at this stage as Israel’s offer to negotiate separately with each of its Arab neighbors. Even if the necessary two-thirds majority could be mus tered in the General Assembly for the U.S. resolution, which is not at present the case, it would not be heeded by the Arab countries, save perhaps Jordan, which has already executed two about-faces in less than a month and stands now in a State of territorial amputation and political jeopardy. — At the other end of the spectrum the Russians call for condemnation of Israel and unconditional withdrawal of its forces from conquered Arab territory. The motiva- | tion of the Soviet Government was obviously to regain)! in a diplomatic offensive the prestige it had lost with thes)" ' Arab world when it warned President Nasser against? reckless moves and concurred, in the Security Council, with the United States’ call for an unconditional cca fire. In the General Assembly, Premier Kosygin na ro courted support with two major themes. First, he raised! the specter of a major war, of which any regional armed! conflict can be the seed, and found there an opportunity/} tn to evoke the curse of the Vietnamese War (so have theypis French). Second, he depicted the actions of Israel as the pp latest attempt of colonialism and imperialism to countery# hn, the forces of national liberation and to pursue the eco- fai nomic oppression of the struggling Third World. Mr Kae Kosygin stopped short of associating himself, however, | ) with Arab outcries about “American and British com= Js plicity in the aggression,” and set the Soviet Union ombf hy THE NATION / July 3, 1967) 9% \ Ace | De ‘ing July and August, The Nation will appear fe on alternate weeks: forthcoming issues will be dated “The Soviet resolution is as incapable of obtaining the /mecessary two-thirds majority in the General Assembly is the U.S. resolution. The USSR has no illusion on that count, although it can expect a much better showing in the General Assembly than in the Security Council. Again, te in the General Assembly asking for unconditional ithdrawal of the Israeli forces to the 1956 armistice ine would be no more heeded by Israel than would the U.S. resolution by the Arabs. This is a case where the two superpowers do not control for the moment the de- cisions of “client countries.” In the present mood of rael and the Arab nations, Washington cannot make € government of Premier Eshkol abandon territorial ins with nothing in return, and Moscow could not, even it wished, force the UAR and Syria to talk with Israel. & This is written before the meeting between President Johnson and Premier Kosygin, but it is doubtful that they can engage in a meaningful discussion of the Middle East at this time. The most effective measure which could be taken by both governments would be an agreement to d iscontinue arms shipments to both sides. In the present mate, Moscow could not even hint at such a move Without causing an even worse accusation of “sellout” from Arab capitals. Actually, the threat of massive arms shipments to the Arab countries is Moscow’s trump card to force Israel into a military withdrawal. The Soviet Union is not likely to relinquish it, even if Israel shows metves of steel. Probably even the unpublicized part of the > Kosygin- Johnson meeting will deal only in generali- ies, each side wanting to show that its policy of co- istence has not been shattered by the Middle East crisis r even the Vietnamese War. | As for the General Assembly, after an outpouring of vances, it will have to content itself, most probably, humanitarian assistance to the refugees and such ocedural devices as sending a UN representative to the a or strengthening the observers’ corps of General Odd Bull. A call to Israel for a conditional withdrawal from recently conquered territory might be issued by the Assembly, but vague assurances given to Israel in com- Densation might hardly make it worth while for the Israeli ernment. In this case, the pressure would continue on and on, in the Assembly, in the Security Council, for srael to withdraw. A long and hot summer is ahead. ~ Political progress on the Palestine question (much less a settlement of it) cannot be expected in the foreseeable re.

Vol. 205 NATI ON No. 1 Combined with FRONTI ER ~ for Israel, it did not solve the basic ones and undoubtedly created new ones as well. A marriage of convenience is not in the offing. Perhaps Israel could shorten the period of uneasy waiting by showing generosity and understand- ing on the refugee problem. It could practice enlightened self-interest by announcing its willingness to return to the original UN partition plan, which provided for an Arab state of Palestine between Israel and Jordan and a special status for Jerusalem and its: holy places. ANNE WEILL-TUCKERMAN The Chinese H-Bomb The event of the week that began on June 18 was not the opening of the debate in the UN on the Middle East crisis. That was important, but predictable: an astute commentator could have written the speeches before they were delivered. Nor was what was said of long-term sig- nificance—that will come later. The big event, not only of the week but of the year, was China’s explosion of a hydrogen bomb. Historically, China has come full circle. Until some- where around the 15th century, it was a leading nation in terms of the then current science and technology. There- after it was eclipsed by small European countries like England and Holland, followed by the United States, which still holds the lead. The possession of the hydrogen weapon does not give China equality with the West but it does give it a place among the elite of nations by the one commonly accepted measure—destructive power in its most concentrated form. The speed of the achievement is remarkable. China detonated its first atomic or fission bomb on October 16, 1964. In less than three years, it has gone from A to H. France, which is no mean scientific and industrial power, set off its first A-bomb test in 1960 and has yet to detonate an H-bomb. One of America’s leading scientists, himself closely identified with the U.S. nuclear development, re- gards the Chinese achievement as “an intelligent, unin- terrupted flow of effort and energy.” The usual fatuous effort will be made to explain the, Chinese success on the basis of earlier U.S. work in the field. A few of the Chinese scientist-engineers have worked at American universities, but what they learned there was in open literature and available to every student and in- structor. Moreover, the experience of every member of the nuclear club shows that success depends not on a few scientists and engineers of genius but on inspired leader- ship coupled with a broadly based engineering commu- nity and the ability to translate scientific insight into in- dustrial reality. The explosion of the Chinese fusion bomb marks the emergence of Asia into the modern world of science and technology—by its own efforts. The first American hydrogen explosion was that of an experimental model which was too large and heavy to be transported. A bomb was developed later. Rep. Craig 4 ee a es Ae tested an actual weapon, which could be reene quantity and presumably improved in yield relative weight. From a military and diplomatic standpoint, this is important. China and the United States confront each other in Vietnam. If the United States should invade North Vietnam, or that country should be on the verge of collapse, China would probably counter with land forces of its own. The United States would then have the ‘option of nuclear retaliation, both tactically on the battle. field and against the Chinese nuclear plants. But if China has available even short-range means of delivery of its nuclear devices, it might not be as vulnerable to U.S. nuclear attack as some of our strategists have assumed. By the end of 1968, perhaps sooner, China may pos-) | sess some fifty medium-range (up to 1,000 miles) missiles)} with nuclear payloads for use against Russian targets. Chinese hydrogen bombs pose something of a threat even to the U.S. mainland. The one used in the most recent } test was said to have a yield of about 3 megatons. Any-)} thing in the megaton range poses a threat of unknown) } magnitude in destruction of life and property. Some U.S. | experts believe it might be feasible to explode such de- vices at distances of the order of 100 miles off the U.S.)) West Coast, and to rely on sea waves and fallout for} destructive effects against cities. If deterrence deters, the? Chinese possess, or soon will possess, means of deterrence: which must be taken into account by their opponents. In a nuclear sense, China is no longer a sitting duck. The Chinese have once more solemnly declared tha it at no time and in no circumstances will China be — hep first to use nuclear weapons. Our hawks will credit suck declarations as little as they assume similar assurances by us would weigh in a future nuclear confrontation, bu 1 the fact remains that the Chinese have said it repeatedly; and we have not said it even once. That the Chinese at titude is defensive seems plausible enough. It is hard t¢ see how an aggressive nuclear policy would be in their interest. In February, 1965, Dr. Allen S. Whiting, ther director of the Office of Research and Analysis for the x Far East in the Department of State, said in an address: at the University of Michigan that the Chinese “do not want to expand their territory, they want to expand thei influence. And this ultimate goal, of expanding their politi- cal power, acts as a restraint on their use of yn y might.” Our own militarists will no doubt use the anes thermonuclear capability as an argument for a U.S. anti missile-missile system, cost what it may. But to political analysts the event may be more reassuring than disquiet- ing. Whiting is probably on sound ground in his evaluatior "| of Chinese objectives. If so, their hydrogen bomb is no j a threat to world peace. The threat lies rather in out | r much greater nuclear arsenal, and in our determination} ! to maintain a military position on the Chinese borde ' ‘ THE NATION / July 3, 196 t § I than a year ago, the United States succeeded in g on the UN Security Council agenda a draft reso- n on Vietnam. It envisioned “immediate discussions out preconditions” to arrange a conference for the pplication of the Geneva accords of 1954 and 1962. The first order of business of the conference was to be a sation of hostilities under effective supervision—pre- mably that of the UN. 4 _ That was all. The resolution is still on the agenda, but 1 the United States has never pressed for a debate or a vote. T “he resolution is a sleeper amid the forgotten peace feelers and the unforgotten escalations of the Vietnamese gedy. Ambassador Goldberg could call it up for dis- ‘cussion at any time, and the call for discussion would not be subject to veto. A man who remembers this particular “stillborn ini- tiative” is Sen. Mike Mansfield. He is one of the handful of Senators whose acquaintance with the Vietnamese a roblem is based on intense concern and first-hand in- ‘Yestigation. He has toured the theatre of war five times “and made his share of mistakes. At one time he sub- scribed to the domino theory, and he was a persistent admirer of President Ngo Dinh Diem. He has not at- tacked the Johnson Administration’s Vietnamese policy ‘as Senators Gruening and Morse, for instance, have done, t for the past four years he has voiced misgivings at ch escalation and made no secret of his view that the ombing of the North has been a military failure. Now urges on the Administration a revival of the initiative the Security Council which was not pursued at the time of its introduction. ), The perils of bringing it back to life are obvious but hardly calculated to frighten the President, his phlegmatic Ro additional troop strength of nearly 140,000, to raise the t rtal under his command above 600,000. Premier Ky, in gy ween electioneering trips in his campaign for the Presi- dency, has graciously seconded General Westmoreland’s ‘re quest. Thus, when Secretary McNamara arrives in Viet- nam ‘to see how the war is going, he will not need to do much figuring; and he can be sure, on the basis of past e erence, that the new plateau will not be the last. . Senator Mansfield’s proposal, if acted upon, might end what otherwise seems endless. Richard Dudman of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch suggests that Hanoi, Peking and si National Liberation Front could be invited to such a conference, as Peking was invited to the Korean War del ate in 1950. Another precedent involves the Jewish E NATION / July 3, 1967 Agency for Palestine, which took part in the 1948 debate on the Middle East. The NLF has certainly earned the right to representation at a regional conference, not only by its status as a de facto belligerent but because no set- tlement is conceivable without it. Premier Ky would ob- ject, but as one American officer in Vietnam is quoted as saying: “We’ve been trying the get-along-at-all-costs system for a long time. You would think that it would occur to someone to try something else for a while.” Sena- tor Mansfield’s seems the best formula at the moment. In any case, having succeeded in placing the resolu- tion on the agenda of the Security Council, do we dare let the impression prevail that we are afraid to call it up for discussion? Advice to Congressmen One way or another, every Congressman will have to consider the issue of Vietnam in the 1968 election. The hawks, the Birchites, the automatic conformists, and the superpatriots will want to be told why the war is not be- ing pushed more aggressively. On the other hand, any number of peace organizations will be seeking interviews with their Congressmen on this same issue. It is the ir- repressible issue, and by 1968 all the platitudes will have been worn threadbare. Why, then, wait for the angry delegations to appear for the discussions that may leave the problem more con- fused than before? The wise Congressman will anticipate what is to come and organize his own meeting. It will provide clarification and serve to define his own position —at least he will not be in danger of defeat through mis- understanding. There is firm precedent for such a proce- dure. In July, 1965, Rep. Robert Kastenmeier, out of a deep conviction that the dialogue on Vietnam should be kept open, announced that he was going to hold a public hearing on the question in his Wisconsin district. He did, he is still a member of the House, and few are more useful in its deliberations. The format for a meeting on Vietnam is simple. The essential thing is that all representative views shall be heard. In his successful experiment, Mr. Kastenmeier laid down a few ground rules: hear the experts first, then the spokesmen for organizations, then individuals. This sequence prepares the audience for a creative listening role and saves time. Without being denied an opportunity to be heard, individuals may conclude that their views have already been adequately aired. If not, they will be given their chance, but to insure a degree of seriousness in connection with the presentations, Mr. Kastenmeier re- quired each speaker to fill out and file in advance a form of identification. The hearings continued for two days in Madison and received general approbation. The New York Times and Columbia Broadcasting System were among those that sent reporters. Subsequently, Mr. Kastenmeier published, at his own expense, a book, Vietnam Hearings: Voices 5 From the Grass Roots, that sold through several editions and was later reissued by Doubleday. There are variants of the idea, like the meeting held at the Hotel Roosevelt in New York City by the New York State Americans for Democratic Action on June 10. Three Representatives from the area, all eminently worth attention, spoke at the hearing: Benjamin S. Rosenthal (Queens), William F. Ryan (Manhattan), and Lester L. Wolff (Nassau), together with seven distinguished panel- ists. There was only one weakness in this admirable at- tempt to carry forward a genuine dialogue between the people and their Representatives on foreign policy: it was completely ignored by the press. However constituted, such meetings can serve only to enlighten the voters and make next year’s election more meaningful. And if there were more such hearings, the press might pay closer at- tention to them. Instant Politics Half of the Big Ten student bodies—generally among the most conservative—this year elected New Left candi- dates as student body presidents. But there has been no evidence that the political pulse is beating faster on these campuses; on the contrary, student interest in civil rights, peace and related issues is less intense, by ali reports, than it was last year. Political ‘activism,’ now as yes- terday, attracts only a minority of students—15 per cent at Stanford and the University of California as shown by one recent study. The new mood reflects not a quick- ening interest in politics as politics but an impatience with things-as-they-are, a generalized resentment against being treated, as it is often expressed, as “IBM cards” in im- personal knowledge factories. Surveys have shown that this feeling is nearly twice as prevalent among students at the large state universi- ties as it is in smaller colleges, public or private. Even at Oklahoma State, where Stetsons and boots are more com- mon than beards, the students are on a rampage against remote, unresponsive administrative practices. Frustrated in their attempts to get the regular campus parties and political types to “do something”—that is, to change over- night educational theories and administrative practices that have long prevailed in the Big Ten universities— students at Northwestern, Michigan, Michigan State, Wis- consin, Indiana University and Iowa State, have voted in New Left candidates as student body presidents. The same thing happened at Stanford last year when David Harris, a bearded New Leftist who modestly estimated his real adherents at 200, was swept into office in a surge of pro- test (see “The Rebel President,” The Nation, May 16, 1966). But protests of this sort, which stem from frustration, too often result in further frustration. David Harris, for example, resigned at Stanford because he felt, and quite correctly, that he did not represent student body opinion without hearings, and appeared to have clear sailing ahead, .279 districts in twenty-two states are in noncompliance One of the Be Ten New Leftist student tok presi ie resigned for the same reason. The trouble traces back to — the traditional American impatience with long-term po- 7 litical planning. It is not this generation’s fault that it 4 shares the national folk belief in politics as a form of reflex action—an endless rotation of “ins” and “outs”— but it is not too early for students, and the rest of us, to realize that, now more than ever, “instant politics” is a 7) mirage. Today’s political problems demand a degree of ~ planning, preparation and organization, a degree of effort and commitment and patience, that we have not brought — to politics for a long time—which is another way of say- ing that, on and off the campus, events are bringing us back to such political fundamentals as power and purpose. ~ The Emergence of Conyers In politics there is no substitute for the right man in — | the right place. Rep. John Conyers, Jr., of Michigan ful- — fills both requirements perfectly in the one-man, one-vote ~ situation. Some time back, the House was in the process — } of slipping through a bill, H.R. 2508, which would have ~ undermined the Supreme Court’s decision by allowing — Congressional districts to deviate as much as 35 per cent — from the proper ratio. In 1972, the variation would have been scaled down to 10 per cent, but in 1968 and 1970, one-man, one-vote would have lost almost all meaning. The bill would also have permitted considerable gerry- ~ mandering of districts. ; This bit of sabotage was reported out of committee when Representative Conyers, who is a Negro, objected — and said he wanted to file a minority report. He was given twelve hours to do so. Under a rule to allow no amendments, he lost, 289 to 63, in the House. Since with the Supreme Court’s decision, the matter is of no- small importance. H.R. 2508 would have permitted a por- tion of a Negro district to be combined with a white sub- — urb, with the effect of cutting down Negro voting power. — That was one of Conyers’ objections. 3 Overridden in the House, he took his fight to the © Senate, where his stand aroused the interest of Sen. Ed-— ward Kennedy, who called on his brother Robert for help, with the result that a better bill was passed in the Senate. The matter now goes to a conference session, — with the Senate conferees coupling Edward Kennedy ~ with the old standbys, Eastland, Ervin, McClellan, — Hruska and Dirksen. The House conferees are on a higher level—Celler of New York, Herbert Tenzer of New York, William M. McCulloch of Ohio, Clark Mac-— Gregor of Minnesota—and Conyers. Later Celler added Byron Rogers of Colorado and Charles Mathias of Mary- land. Under these auspices, the piceoe for a halfway decent bill are not bad. i THE NATION / July 3, 1967 on Powell, only five. Conyers would like to see ning like forty Negroes in the House after the 1968 ection. Whether or not that far more salutary ratio can chieved depends to a large extent on the outcome of impending conference. Reform Democrats in the muse should give Conyers active assistance. Had it not en for him, H.R. 2508 might have had easy sailing. La ngston Hughes - Langston Hughes loved literature. He loved it not fearfully, not with awe. His respect for it was never stiff STANLEY WOLPERT Mr. Wolpert, professor of history at the University of Cali- fornia, is the author of Nine Hours to Rama (Random House) Tel Aviv I Israel has won the war, but there is little jubilation in 7 1 Aviv today as all eyes focus intently upon the more ‘difficult battle for peace that lies ahead. Israeli’s pride ‘in the dramatic force, the amazing swiftness with which ‘it destroyed the Arab ring of steel, bursting the bubble of Nasser’s threat of “obliteration,” is muted by two Robering considerations. The more immediate curb on celebration here is the price in human life paid for this national breathing spell. In so small a nation, so inti- mately integrated, few families could feel themselves remote from the front, or escape the tragedy of battle. In longer range, the Israelis perfectly understand that the other side of the victory coin they have stamped out in Sinai is the bitter humiliation of Nasser. Whatever may be said here concerning Nasser’s military skill, no one underestimates his pride. Born itself from the ashes of Hitler’s holocaust, Israel is not unconscious of the re- Vivifying potential of humiliation and defeat. Naturally, every Israeli hopes that Nasser and his allies are ca- pable of learning a lesson from the disaster that struck them in June, but some fear that the utter humiliation may only fan fresh flames of Arab hatred. Israel has not been lulled by victory into a mood of deceptive self- c confidence. p The crucial problem confronting Israel at present S how to secure national integrity without future fight- ee. It hopes to retain strategic outposts captured in Jordan and Syria, as well as the Old City of Jerusalem, but fears that its startling display of military strength in itself undermine world support for the claim that ch positions are essential to its continued existence. one speaks of attempting to remain permanently in Sinai or in the vast bulk of land taken from Jordan.

Israelis have no desire to repeat the errors of Western Europe’s 19th-century imperial expansionism. Even if they had the resources, they express no wish to main- tain martial rule over the more than 1 million Arabs liv- ing in the borderland regions their armies have over- run. What they do want is unequivocal recognition by each of their neighboring states, full and open ac- ceptance of their national status in consonance with its reality. They insist, moreover, that international force assure them that no life line as vital to Israel’s sur- vival as the Strait of Tiran be arbitrarily closed to them again. Modest as these demands may seem after the spec- tacular victory, the Israelis recognize that neither goal will be easy to win. They fear that in the world debate oil interests and Afro-Asian votes will seek to deprive them of the advantage they have won in bat- tle. Their anxiety today stems from recognition that in Abu (London): Ben Roth “The UN Is Weak and Ineffectual” the world’s council chambers they remain virtually alone. Israelis are convinced that, until peace treaties are signed, Egypt and Syria will continue to divert their impoverished populations from the complex problems of internal development by raising the cry of “liberation for Palestine.” Diplomatic recognition would relieve the claustrophobic feeling of isolation and apprehension, and Israel is ready now to establish contacts at every level of diplomatic, economic and cultural activity with all of its Arab neighbors. People with whom I have spoken are convinced that once such relations are launched the walls of hatred, mistrust and fear will begin slowly to crumble, and through them will pass roads of coopera- tion and mutual respect, if not friendship. These recent weeks have taught Israel many things, not only about itself but about its place in the eyes of the world. U Thant’s capitulation of May 19 to Nasser’s demand just one day earlier that UN troops be with- drawn from the borders cannot be understood by Israelis in any terms other than betrayal. The hypothesis that U Thant surrendered in order subsequently to strengthen his bargaining position in Cairo is even less acceptable to the Israelis than it had been to Ameri- cans. Given the personality and professed goals of Egypt’s ruler, Israelis ask how any rational mind could have failed to realize that Nasser would be emboldened to increasingly aggressive action. Despite the green light from U Thant, however, few Israelis can believe that Nasser would have been capable of so supreme a level of self-deception as to think that he could beat Israel if he had not counted on firm support from Russia. Pan- Arab unity was forged with Russian support and, though it desperately appealed to the United States, Britain and France, Israel found itself alone. The transformation of Near Eastern power has given Israelis the confidence to think in terms that were hitherto impossible. Some speak, for example, of creat- ing a “Palestine Nation” out of the borderland regions of Gaza and those conquered from Jordan. Until now, discussed here as a nationalist jae of Paleceatadt , people. It may still be impossible to gain support from 7) any of the governments involved for the creation of a ~ state of Palestine next to the state of Israel, yet this may ultimately prove to be the only way in which the ~} “refugees” used for the past nineteen years by Egypt, — Jordan and Syria as saboteurs against Israel, can be — } persuaded to settle down to peaceful pursuits. With a homeland of their own, Palestine Arabs could regain © their pride, and though Israel could not be expected ||) to return any of the land it claims, it might be willing — to pay compensation, or at least to help its neighbor | in the early years. Whether Eshkol, Nasser, Hussein, or leaders of the Palestine Liberation Organization it- |} self would seriously consider such a scheme remains to be seen. The significance of its unofficial articulation 1 here is the evidence it shows of Israel’s intellectual flexi- | | bility and creative endeavor now to force a truly per- } manent peaceful settlement. ae Whatever solution is reached among the nations of — this troubled region, Israel knows that at least its im- mediate workability must depend upon the joint efforts — of the great powers. Russia’s break of diplomatic rela-_ tions is recognized here as a sop to Nasser, and Israelis §! hope that the pragmatism of Russia’s long-range inter- national policy will prevail over present-day Arab partisanship. Naturally, Israel looks to the United States for strong diplomatic support. The general disappointment felt here at our failure to take a firm stand on the crisis caused by the closing of the Strait of Tiran is tempered by Israel’s — faith in our often reiterated commitment to its national survival. The great wave of popular sympathy for Israel's ~ plight that rolled across America has also been a source | . of hope, and helped counterbalance Washington’s official — position of cool neutrality. Yet Israel will not soon forget that when the chips were down and the wheel of Near — Eastern destiny began its perilous spin toward war, the United States of America left it to stand alone. THE NEGRO IN VIETNAM KARL H. PURNELL Mr. Purnell is a former member of the Pennsylvania legisla- ture and publisher of The Union County Journal of Lewis- burg, Pa. Saigon This year, 15,000 Negro Gls, after a twelve-month tour of duty in Vietnam, will return to the ghettos of New York and Chicago, the backwoods of Tennessee and the small towns of Alabama. As members of the armed forces, many of these soldiers are being given their first taste of integration into a white man’s world. Ad- mittedly, it is not total integration. Nevertheless, it is usu- ally better than what many American Negroes have ex- perienced before, and the soldiers serving in Vietnam are finding this partial equality agreeable. 8 Consequently, the prospect of returning to a society j where no commanding officer will enforce the rules of fair treatment is stirring a fierce if well-concealed re-— sentment among Vietnam’s Negro soldiers. The ex-_ traordinary irony of fighting for the freedom of an Asian — country they had never heard of, while being denied — freedom at home, is certain to add new and explosive © fuel to the current revolution of American Negroes who— are rejecting the principles of nonviolence. i After two months of talking with Negro troops in- Vietnam, I am convinced that a new breed of impatient young men is going home, ready to provide shock troops” for the civil rights movement. Moderates such as Martin Luther King and Whitney Young will find them hard to — control; they are much more likely to hear the appeal THE NATION / July 3, 1967 f would be hard to conceive of any experience Which could cause as major a shift in the atti- Mtudes of young American Negroes as has been ac- complished by sending almost a third of them to Viet- 'mam. For the past decade, the disciples of segregation € promised that only by “getting them educated” Id the freedoms promised by the United States -onstitution ever be made available to the colored race. Vietnam is providing this education in a more decisive and dramatic fashion than a hundred integrated ‘Ole Miss” universities could ever do. In the jungles and rice fields, thousands of young men are learning what it ans to fight and die for the name of freedom. It is {| lesson which will not be easily forgotten. Several national magazines, countless news- papers, and at least one major television network have ) presented an image of the returning Negro as well satis- he ed with military integration and only mildly disturbed the prejudice he must face at home. The armed ervices are described as models of integration where every man is equal. Negro soldiers are quoted on their disen- chantment with civil rights leaders who oppose the war. To understand how this misleading picture is con- | Veyed, one must appreciate how news is gathered in Vietnam, as well as the pressures which exist on a Negro soldier. Most reporters working for the big news or- zani Zations are a harried lot. Constant requests for stories tross their desks, and in the same week they may have 0 cover a Marine patrol on the North Vietnamese order and interview Jayne Mansfield on her reactions © a visit with the troops. _ With a few exceptions, such as The Washington Post's [E NATION / July 3, 1967 Negro writer, Jesse Lewis, reporters assigned to a story on Negro reaction have lined up as many “quickie inter- views” as possible in two or three days. One national magazine sent a reporter to a military air terminal where dozens of GIs were waiting for a hop. There he could interview ten or fifteen Negroes in an afternoon, date lining the story from the soldier’s base somewhere in Vietnam. Naturally, no Negro or white soldier reveals his thoughts on such a sensitive question to a reporter on the run. The answers have been as routine as the questions: REPORTER: How do you feel about equality in the Army? ANSWER: We’re all soldiers here. Color is a forgotten issue. REPORTER: What about Martin Luther King? ANSWER: He’s lost his cool, man. What does he know about Vietnam? In the case of television, the answers are even more predictable. Imagine a young Negro captain in line for a promotion being asked whether he thinks the high ratio of Negroes killed in the war is a result of discrimination: “No sir, they volunteer because they realize the im- portance of fighting communism.” It comes out like a message from a computer. One afternoon, I returned to Saigon from Danang on a plane with a Negro officer. During the trip. I asked him how he felt about Negroes fighting for freedom in Viet- nam when they didn’t have it at home. His answers were testy and carefully phrased. “This Martin Luther King is just too high up. Trouble with that fellow is that he can’t go back to his own church. That’s why he got involved in this Vietnam business.” I pressed him on the question of freedom at home. “Listen my friend, when the American people are ready RENFRO to give us more freedom, they'll do it. No use causing © a fuss and making them angry,” he said. That night, I entered the conversation in my notes un- der the heading of “Uncle Tom.” But several weeks later I met the same officer again, under different circum- stances. I had invited him to sit at my table in a crowded, fashionable Saigon restaurant. When the subject of Negroes fighting in Vietnam came up, after several hours of conversation, it was an entirely different story from the “Uncle Tom” version I had heard earlier. “You white reporters can’t just pop a question like that and get an honest answer. We’ve been warned about making statements to the press. We're not about to lose a promotion so you can get a story.” The officer then went on to describe the burning re- sentment felt by Negro soldiers who are treated as equals in the foxholes of Vietnam, but shunted aside during off- duty hours. He described in bitter detail the countless conversations he had held with Negro GIs who were angry at the prospect of going back to a segregated world after putting their lives on the line in Vietnam. “It’s a personal subject and not many Negroes are going on television with that side of the story.” The failure to portray the nature of integration in the armed forces has, in fact, led to widespread misunder- standing. While patrolling with a company of Marines near the North Vietnamese border recently, I talked to a white corporal who was deeply depressed by the recent death of a Negro soldier with whom he had marched and fought for three months. “We were really tight. He was the best friend I had,” the Marine said. Such close friend- ships between white and colored soldiers are frequent under combat conditions, but in the big base camps or off duty, the old prejudices return. One Negro Air Force lieutenant described how a latrine wall at the Tan San Nhut air base outside Saigon was scrawled with ugly slo- gans such as “Kill niggers not VC” twenty-four hours after it had been painted. This officer was also angry at the prejudice which was never openly expressed, but which he found invariably’ present among his white col- leagues. “They can’t say anything, but you always know the feeling is there.” Negroes comprise only 3.6 per cent of the officer corps in the Army and even less in the other services. Although General Westmoreland has attempted to eradicate any evidence of prejudice within his entourage by placing nineteen Negro officers on his command staff, the fact is that career opportunities for a Negro in the service are limited. “There are plenty of ways to keep you back,” said one captain of the 173rd Airborne which he claimed was composed almost 50 per cent of Negro troops. “For one thing, getting a combat command is almost impos- sible. They get you working on pacification or some desk job where the promotions don’t come so quickly.” This view is supported by the fact that only two of the 380 combat battalion commands in the war are held by Ne- groes, despite the fact that Negroes account for 22.4 per cent of combat deaths. Perhaps the most telling evidence of how segregation works is the row of bars and night clubs along dusty, 10 _ popular clubs in the Kanh Hoi section, where the music fon central Soon: This “Kanh Hoi” area is. ton exclusively by Negro troops who go there rather than to the cleaner downtown Tu Do Street where the clients are white. ; Husky, Green Beret Sergeant William Barksdale, 26, of Baltimore, Md., explained why he preferred going to Kanh Hoi. “When I get in from the field, I just want to be at ease. If I go to Tu Do, the white guys start staring | and the girls stay clear of me, so I just stay away from | the place.” fl In fact, what particularly enraged one Kanh Hoi habitué was the fact that the brown-skinned Vietnamese — girls on Tu Do referred to themselves as white and dis- — | played contempt for colored GIs—an attitude they had | quickly picked up from their white clients. As one Negro | private who had spent six months in a line outfit said: | “Its okay when you're fighting VC, but when you have © to go your own way for a beer or to find a girl, you realize that Chuck [slang for white soldiers] isn’t your buddy after all.” Despite the lack of meaningful integration in the — armed forces, most Negroes agree that they get better © treatment in the military service than at home. Conse- quently, 45.7 per cent of Negroes re-enlist for another’ tour, in contrast to only 17 per cent of white troops. This f preference for a military world, often under combat con- ditions, to the ordeals of a segregated life in the United States is a measure of the paltry advances made thus far by the civil rights movement. 4 However, it is among those who determine to go home that the harshest resentment is expressed. This bitter undercurrent can be heard almost nightly at the and food recall the hang-outs many Negroes patronize at home. Here, after a few beers in the company of fel- — low Negroes, the Gls discuss the issue which is mors important to them than the Vietnamese War. Dis- senters like Stokely Carmichael or Cassius Clay, who take such a verbal beating before the television cameras, are seen as heroes for their courage in fighting the white establishment. j A Negro sergeant who frequents several of these off-duty clubs said the conversation he picks up would be thought by most Americans to be the views of militant extremists, rather than those of the average, passive Negro GI portrayed through the news media. “They may be mad at Clay and Carmichael for opposing the war, but 4 on the big issue they realize these fellows are on ‘their side.” 5 The big issue, of course, is how the returning Negro ise veteran can find equality where it does not yet exist. “I’m just waiting for the first guy that tries to kick me out of his restaurant,” said one tall Negro private who ea was due to end his service in two months. Having been taught that it is possible to fight and even die for the cause of freedom, these veterans are bq coming home determined to receive fair and equal, treatment. The tragedy is that an unconcerned and un-. Mit informed publie will be taken by surprise if they resort to the violence they learned in Vietnam. THE NATION / July 3, 1967) ite y igh. [(OHN EGERTON Egerton is a staff writer for Southern Education Reports. Nashville thirty-three years the Tennessee Valley Authority pursued its objectives — electric power, navigation and flood control—with an efficiency and success which have made it an international symbol of American social plan- ning at its best. Now it has turned its attention to eco- nomic development, water and air pollution and recrea- tion, and already there are indications that the new look is less attractive and more disturbing than the old. _ One example of resistance to what Business Week calls TVA’s “second spring” can be found in the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, a 200,000-acre project being developed on a wooded isthmus between ty © man-made lakes in western Kentucky and Tennes- see . For almost four years, TVA has been locked in a bitter dispute with landowners in the area, a dispute which h as raised legal and constitutional questions that could ! ‘4 esent the agency with the most prickly problems it has ever handled. "The Land Between the Lakes is set apart from the surrounding countryside by Kentucky Lake (on the Ten- ssee River), Barkley Lake (on the Cumberland River), d a canal which connects the two at the north. The area is remote and sparsely populated, and about half of it is already owned by federal agencies, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which has a 65,000-acre refuge there. TVA intends to buy up the land, all 200,000 eres, for what it calls “a national demonstration to show how all available resources of a large area can be devel- ) oped to serve a wide range of public recreation and con- Servation education programs.” But some of the landowners have refused to sell. They took their case first to the Federal District Court at Paducah, Ky., and being defeated there, appealed it to he Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati. They asking whether TVA has legal jurisdiction outside the Tennessee Valley (half the Land Between the Lakes project lies in the Cumberland River watershed), and ther it has authority to exercise the power of eminent | domain anywhere solely for the purpose of recreation. The Land Between the Lakes project is only one of PVA’s current headaches. The agency’s recent projects ed procedures have aroused a variety of protests: _ {Conservationists in Tennessee and North Carolina nave accused TVA of building dams solely for the pur- }oses of industrial development and recreation. They con- end that in doing so, TVA is spreading pollution, elim- n pene the area’s few remaining wild rivers and trout reams, and joining commercial interests in teal estate er ntures for big profits. TVA’s practice of making payments in lieu of taxes 0 counties whose tax base is diminishing by inundation nds has been attacked by many of the counties as aadequate and deceptive. {TVA developments on the Beech and Elk Rivers in fennessee involve agency purchase of land surrounding HE NATION / July 3, 1967 THE HALO SLIPS the reservoirs. This land is then sold to a local develop- ment authority, and TVA uses the profit to repay a share of the public’s cost of the project. Grady Clay, writing in the Louisville Courier-Journal last year, said the money TVA receives as profit “would have gone directly to pri- vate owners of waterfront land under the system nor- mally followed.” The fact that those private owners now must surrender their land for eventual benefit of specu- lators has caused no little consternation. J, {TVA now produces three-fourths of its electric power with coal. It is the nation’s biggest coal consumer, and most of the coal it has bought in the past decade has been strip mined. The Peabody Coal Company and lesser giants of the industry have literally turned the earth up- side down in the counties surrounding TVA’s Paradise, Ky., power plant. Spoil heaps rise as high as 200 feet into the air, streams are polluted and vegetation is smoth- ered, but TVA’s objective—cheap coal—is achieved. Not until Kentucky strengthened its strip-mine laws and filed suit against the Peabody Company did TVA begin to show concern for conservation measures, and reports persist that neither TVA nor the coal companies are prac- ticing the reforms they have pledged. The irony in these examples is clear. Created in large part on the basic principle of relieving human misery, TVA has, with disturbing frequency, seemed to be adding to the problems of the people in its area of operation. As it has grown in power and influence, and as its projects in navigation, electric power and flood cons trol have neared completion in the Tennessee Valley, the agency has begun to appear callous at home and covetous of fertile new fields to plow outside the valley. It would be hard to quarrel with TVA’s past successes in power generation, flood control and navigation— though plenty of people, including Barry Goldwater and the country’s private power interests, have tried. Since May 18, 1933, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the TVA Act and gave Sen. George Norris of Nebraska a final victory in his twelve-year fight with Congressional opponents of the measure, TVA has piled one impressive accomplishment on top of another. It now has thirty-two dams on the Tennessee River and its tribu- taries; it has turned the river’s mainstream into an un- broken stairway of navigation lakes, and freight traffic along the 650-mile route from Knoxville to Paducah now totals more than 2 billion ton-miles a year—sixty- six times as much as in 1933. Flood damage avoided through TVA controls is esti- mated at close to half a billion dollars. Electricity gen- erated by the agency’s power plants exceeds 75 billion kilowatt-hours a year, and almost 2 million customers in seven states now purchase that electricity for less than le a kilowatt-hour—only one-fifth as much as it cost thirty- three years ago and still less than half the national average. Yet in spite of all this, TVA remains a controversial agency, and its handling of the Land Between the Lakes project underlines at least some of the reasons for its present notoriety. TVA seems to be winning its long fight it with the residents there, but the battle could drag on for another year or more and end up in an embarrassing loss for the agency before the courts. If that happens, the only real winners in the costly and unnecessary dispute will be some not so innocent bystanders, including land- development speculators from outside the region and con- servative critics of TVA who for more than thirty years have sought a weapon with which to fell the agency. The first official proposal for development of the land between Kentucky and Barkley Lakes was made in 1962 by the National Park Service, and that proposal specified that not all the privately heid land in the area would be needed. Then, in June of 1963, President John F. Ken- nedy signed an Executive order instructing TVA to de- velop a national recreation center in the Land Between the Lakes as a pilot project to show how an area with limited resources “can be converted into a recreation asset that will stimulate the economic growth of a region.” The Executive order made Congressional approval of the project unnecessary, and Rep. Frank A. Stubblefield of western Kentucky, who with others in and out of Con- gress had urged the action on the President, explained that TVA was empowered by law to proceed immediately, whereas special legislation requiring a year or more would be necessary in order for the Park Service to take the job. It is now a matter of debate—as witness the land- owners’ suit in federal court—whether TVA is in fact empowered to develop the Land Between the Lakes. This, plus the owners’ suspicions that TVA’s concealed but consuming interest in the project is for economic develop- ment, has made the going rough, and TVA’s strategy in the face of opposition has been highly questionable. The Presidential order instructed TVA to establish and define guidelines for “acquisition, development and opera- tion of other outdoor recreation areas.” So far, it has come closer to illustrating how not to proceed in such develop- ment. Some items: 4 Aubrey J. Wagner, chairman of the TVA board, said following issuance of the Executive order that the project would take five years to develop and would cost $33 mil- lion. Now, four years later, the agency refuses to say how long it will take, and the latest estimates on the cost ex- ceed $55 million. 4 After saying at the outset that TVA “will explain the plans to the people in the affected area soon,” the agency later announced that “every acre” of the land would be acquired (with the unexplained exception of an 8,600-acre tract in the southeast corner, near Dover, Tenn.), and some landowners still have not been notified of TVA’s intentions or of its authority to proceed. § TVA has billed the project as a demonstration of new concepts in recreation, though it duplicates principles long employed in other areas of the country by the Na- tional Park Service. { Neither the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers nor the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has yet surrendered its holdings in the Land Between the Lakes to TVA, and sub rosa disputes among the three agencies have been rumored. The Corps of Engineers, that paragon of Con- gressional pork-barreling, is predictably resentful of in- trusions into what it considers its territory (i.e., the Cumberland River Valley), and the Fish and Wildlife 12 surrende wildlife refuge. Faaheonere, the National Park a has often voiced concern about the indiscriminate use ‘of 4 park land by hordes of campers—and campers are what — TVA wants most in the area. i TVA did not announce its intention to take all the 7 land until Congress had appropriated $4 million to get the project started. The fiscal courts of Trigg and Lyon — Counties, in which the Kentucky portion of the area lies, | publicly opposed further !and acquisition by TVA ex- — cept from willing sellers, and Congressman Stubblefield also protested the land-buying plan. Amid charges of coercion, harassment and trespass, TVA began to feel a backlash. The landowners organ- ized and began picketing agency headquarters in the area, and the pro-TVA Nashville Tennessean said in an edi- | torial that “poor diplomacy, fuzzy policies, and lack of | liaison with elected officials—a cardinal principle with © TVA in early days—appear to be major factors provok- ~ ing angry resistance.” q| Kentucky’s respected Republican Senator, John Sher- man Cooper, in a letter to President Johnson, gave TVA even more cause for concern: The boundaries for the Between-the-Lakes recrea- tional area, as recently announced by TVA, have caused considerable consternation among people and com- munities in the area, and to us. On reviewing our dis- cussions and understandings of the proposals made during the past two years, we think that great harm may be done to the project if TVA does not reconsider its apparent plans to acquire all the land... . In Ken- tucky, the towns of Golden Pond and Twin Lakes, as well as the homes and businesses of some 3,000 people in the area involved, may be needlessly uprooted, mean- ing that many of these residents would be moved for the third, fourth, or fifth time due to Federal programs. . We agree generally with [TVA’s] objectives, but we cannot agree that they merit the neglect of the rights of a large number of area citizens. .. . Several residents of the area appeared before Congres- sional appropriations committees in the spring of 1964 | to testify against TVA procedures. Mrs. Corinne White- head of Lyon County told a Senate subcommittee that residents of the area “have been informed . . . that in- dustrial plant sites have been mapped and pinpointed by — TVA in the north section of Lyon County. We are con- vinced that TVA proposes to take our land and homes under the guise of recreation and ultimately sell it for in- dustrial use.” TVA Chairman Wagner called the charge “just a plain lie” that “irritates me very much.” Mrs. Whitehead and the other residents who testified said they were not opposed to the recreation area project, but re- quested that it be developed in the 100,000 acres already in federal hands “by the National Park Service, which is a recognized authority in this field.” Mrs. Whitehead underlined the eroding reputation of TVA in her area with these words: “TVA has heretofore been recognized by valley residents as a reasonable and idealistic agency with a heart in dealing with people. To- day that image is considerably tarnished in light of this | era of pure TVA empire-building.” Her comment stood in stark contrast to the testimony of TVA Director Frank } Smith, who said in answer to a question that his agency THE NATION / July 3, 19677} a. Aenest of the people in the area.” rs Despite the protests, TVA got its second appropria- —$5.5 million—for the project, and since then it has ed three more allocations. The population of the area, uch stood at about 3,000 five years ago, has now been duced to about 1,200, and of those who remain about [ty families, holding less than 10,000 acres among them, unalterably opposed to surrender of their property VA.

TVA has mounted an intensive public re- lations campaign to sell the economic merits of the recrea- tion area to surrounding communities, and the sound of money has had a mesmerizing effect. The holdout property owners are now condemned as speculators. Still, suspicion of TVA’s motives persists. Soon after Congress voted the 1964 appropriation, it was learned that the Kerr-McGee Oil Company of Oklahoma, former empire of the late Sen. Robert Kerr, had acquired all assets of the T. J. Moss Tie Company of St. Louis in July of 1963, one month after TVA had been assigned PrincETON ® CONSERVATION EDUCATION CENTER FORT DONELSON NAT: MIL PARK RO SCOTT FITZHUGH BRIDGE Land Between the Lakes (Distance from Kuttawa to Dover Is 42 Miles) ee the Land Between the Lakes project. This created a stir because the Moss Company owned some 30,000 acres in the three counties encompassing the project. State records indicate that more than a dozen exploratory drillings for oil and other minerals have been made in the Land Between the Lakes regicn in the past thirty years, and this has prompted speculation that the Kerr- McGee land purchase was a prelude to more mineral ex- ploration. No recent drillings have been made, but the appointment last year of Donald McBride, a long-time administrative assistant to Senator Kerr, to a nine-year term. on the TVA board of directors, drew more than passing interest from skeptical residents of the area. Such developments only solidify the landowners’ con- viction that something more than a playground is in store for the Land Between the Lakes. TVA officials repeatedly deny that they have any intention of engaging in the kind of real estate and industrial development activities which they are trying in the Beech and Elk River projects in Tennessee. Since 1933, however, TVA has disposed of more than 200,000 acres of land it had acquired along the shore lines of its lakes, and in virtually every instance the sale of such land has turned a handsome profit. In its promotion of the Land Between the Lakes project, TVA has pictured a virgin wilderness, unclut- tered by commercial enterprises of any kind. It has been described as a haven for hunters, fishermen, hiking and camping enthusiasts, swimmers and boaters and horse- back riders. About 70 million people live within a 500- mile radius of the area, and TVA predicted in 1963 that within three years the park would be recording 4 million to 5 million visitor-days annually—a visitor-day being defined as twelve recreation hours spent in the area. The prediction was wildly inaccurate. Less than half a million visitor-days were recorded in 1966. Still, TVA has already begun to hedge on its policy of keeping com- mercial enterprises out of the area. If the park’s capacity of 20,000 campers is ever reached, says Sherrill Milli- ken, resident manager and coordinator of the project, the people will have to have access to supplies. Who would get that business? “We don’t know,” says Milliken. “We haven’t faced up to that part yet. This summer we may have to get into it.” Milliken is also uncertain about TVA’s future role in the project, or when fhe “demonstration of new concepts in recreation” will end. “It’s an open-ended thing,” he says. “Maybe ten years, maybe twelve, maybe fifteen, but sometime it'll be done.” Who will take it over then? “I don’t think there’s an answer to that now.” January 1, 1968, has been announced as the target date for TVA to possess all the land. The residents who remain, meanwhile, are waiting and hoping for a miracle to save their property. They are saying that no amount of money will compensate them for what they have, and TVA’s reply, in effect, is that every man has his price. Asked why he thought some people are re- sisting TVA’s land buying, Director Frank Smith re- plied: “People just think they can get more money than what we offer them, that’s what it boils down to. They want to get more than what’s been offered to them. We think most of them, when it becomes so obvious that “14 re they’re isolated, they'll eentialle” wat that abe wae to move out, when there’s nobody left around.” TVA has refused to compromise in its determination — to control all the land. It has apparently not considered | buying only from the willing sellers or even permitting present landowners to have the right of domicile for their )} lifetime. Even more important, it has made no, effort to promote any kind of cooperative zoning in which county, state and federal governments could work together to assure compatible development of public and private || lands—a principle the National Park Service employs ef- | fectively in the Nez Percé country of the Northwest. Now the agency’s intransigence has been met head-on © by that of the holdout residents. TVA has failed to con-— vince them that the necessity of a recreation area is in || any sense comparable to the urgent needs for electric power, navigation and flood control. The issue is: does |} TVA have the right, morally or legally, to condemn the | land and use it for recreation purposes? | Mr. Smith says “there’s no question about the legality,” || and cites Section 22 of the TVA Act, which makes_ reference to “studies, experiments and demonstrations” |}? by the agency. But this section makes no mention of |, recreation and does not grant powers of eminent domain to the agency. | Mr. Milliken says the Presidential order and the subse- Ty quent appropriations from Congress are authority enough. “Our legal division sees no problem, and that’s the best answer I can give you. TVA has no intention of going |} anywhere else on this type of thing. You know it’s been said that if you can do this you can go to Idaho o some place else and do the same thing. TVA has no in- tention of going anywhere else, and it has no intention of being in this type of thing forever.” But no one knows, or says, how far TVA can go. Some of the holdout residents are convinced that TVA } will never go to court to condemn the land, though) }hy Smith says it is “almost inevitable there'll be a certain amount of condemnation.” The residents contend that condemnation procedures would require the agency to specify what use will be made of the land—thus jeopardizing any future sale or lease for purposes other | than recreation. Furthermore, they say, TVA is unsure of its legal authority to condemn. for To answer the question of legal authority Granville hy Clark, a Russellville, Ky., attorney, has gone into federal}| court on behalf of some of the residents. In William Dv Travis v. Pennyrile Rural Electric Cooperative (REA) and TVA, Clark is asking the court to settle a rca between Travis and the REA concerning electric service But in his brief, Clark alleges a conspiracy between REA \s and TVA, and he asks these questions: (J). Does Pennyrile REA have a right to refuse to provide electric service to a customer in their ornaail because of a threatened condemnation [by TVA]? (2). Does TVA have a right to condemn the land of the plaintiff? Mr. Clark says the answer to both questions is “no.” In the course of his argument he contends that the TVA venture is not a demonstration project, within the defini- tion of Section 22 of the TVA Act, but rather an end in itself. He points out that the deeds the agency is issuing — => wa hs aul? ile ] UI) his y Ih THE NATION / July 3, 19677) y Not having Bscltie statatoly authority to get into the , wildlife and recreation business, TVA says it is ng to have a demonstration project.

Nevertheless, the tide may be changing. though the prospects for the immediate formation of American Legion of Former Peace Corps Volunteers ire remote, there are strong indications that ex-PCVs are starting to give second thoughts to group action. More | va 800 of them, about 7 per cent of those who have come back, declared recently in a well- publicized letter oO President Johnson, that American policy in Vietnam S “seriously undermining” hopes for a “peaceful and | bor ntiful world.” And in New York, more than 100 per- 0 ons, at least two-thirds of them ex-Peace Corpsmen, phave launched the Committee of Returned Volunteers CRV) to challenge a foreign policy they say “frustrates ather than supports the aspirations of the people” of he Third World. Their concern over Vietnamese policy rompted a letter to the President in early February of s year. It carried more than 400 signatures. In Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston and other HE NATION / July 3, 1967 a ; mT ee = —_ = THE NEW WORLD tion of the TVA Act which governs its powers of eminent domain, and poirits out that it confines its powers to the acquisition of real estate “for the construction of dams, reservoirs, transmission lines, power houses, and other structures, and navigation projects at any point along the Tennessee River, or any of its tributaries.” Frank Smith concedes that “the TVA Act needs to be broadened to provide wider authority for us to do more in the areas of economic development, pollution control and recreation.” What started as a locally approved development pro- posed by the National Park Service has degenerated into a fight to the death between a small group of property owners and the Tennessee Valley Authority. It remains for the courts to declare the ultimate winner, but already it is clear that TVA is paying a heavy price in popularity just for being in the game. THEY SEE cities, former volunteers are contemplating group action as a response to what they feel is a worsening world situa- tion. “Young Americans of unquestioned loyalty but with alert and questioning minds are continuing to express doubts about United States policy in Vietnam,” the Akron (Ohio) Beacon Journal noted in a recent editorial about one of the letters. Vietnam is certainly the catalyst, but it is not Vietnam alone. The mounting racial tensions in southern Africa, the agonizing deterioration of the Alliance for Progress, the growing U. S. military presence in Thailand—these and other occurrences are provoking serious thought among ex-PCVs. The conditions for massive group action are good, and indications are that some elements of the government Establishment are uneasy. There are more than 12,000 ex-PCVs in the coun- try now; within three years there will be 50,000. While every indication is given that they are highly conscious politically, they have unquestionably been slow to con- sider collective action. It is understandable: the small number of returnees at first; total involvement in graduate school (which most enter upon their return); the strains of readjustment and, to a large degree, the independence that characterizes so many of them. “I didn’t join the Peace Corps to have forty-five or twenty-two or any number of people express my views,” declared one te- turnee at the 1965 conference. “If I want to express them,” he added, “I’d just as soon express them myself.” In place of group political action, the ex-PCVs have given mild assent to proposals for the formation of local organizations with blander concerns. Appropriate exam- ples are the approximately eighty Peace Corps service councils scattered across the country. They started almost spontaneously to provide books and nonessential sup- plics for PCVs in the field, and to help fill requests for 15 speakers that were inundating Peace Corps headquarters in Washington. At first they were organized and run by parents and friends of PCVs, but more and more the ex- volunteers have taken over. They have no official affilia- tion with PC/Washington, only its approval. But these booster clubs do not provide the political outlets that many ex-PCVs are now seeking. Small, local- ized political action groups started appearing as early as 1964. as soon as enough ex-PCVs could get together. For the most part they were short-lived, lacking good organization or sustained interest. Yet they were the seed groups. Their leaders were heartened by Vice President Humphrey’s speech at the 1965 conference: “I call upon you to be men and women of action,” he told the ex- PCVs, “. . . to think, to think creatively, to think daringly and to share those thoughts—to share them with the com- munity because it is only in so doing that we enrich this America.” To some, this type of statement was a call to action, and despite the rejection of proposals for a national asso- ciation, new groups were formed. Typical of them, and perhaps best organized, is the CRV, whose temporary chairman is Aubrey Brown (PC/Nigeria). Membership is by no means restricted to ex-PCVs; about a third of its 120 members have worked abroad with mission groups or other voluntary organizations, and in some cases, other agencies of the U. S. Government. Their presence, according to Brown, brings a broader perspective to the group and minimizes the possibility that outsiders would link it to the Peace Corps. CRV wants far broader U. S. engagement in multi- lateral assistance programs, preferably through the United Nations; seeks more responsiveness on the part of the U. S. Government to popular social, economic and po- litical movements in the developing nations; and opposes unilateral U. S. military intervention anywhere. It is or- ganized into highly active subcommittees studying the problems of Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, with special attention to Vietnam. The committee’s most publicized act to date, its February letter to the President, went unanswered by Mr. Johnson but drew a brief though cordial response from a staff member of the National Security Council. Spokes- men for the CRV feel the letter gave them useful experi- ence for planning future action. “What we did wrong there,” contends Robert McGuire (PC/Pakistan), a graduate student at Columbia, “was in failing to accompany the letter with a well-thought-out position paper.” He indicates that white papers will back up most of CRV’s major statements in the future. The Africa subcommittee has prepared one on Rhodesia, ex- pressing support of the President’s decision to maintain sanctions against that nation. A thoughtful paper on Vietnam has recently been drawn up and distributed. The war in Vietnam is the primary concern of an- other New York-based organization, the Former Peace Corpsmen’s Committee for Peace. Although numbering less than ten active members, it set out last year to solicit signatures of other returnees for a strong letter to the President, calling for recognition of the National Libera- tion Front and immediate cessation of the bombing. Ac- . 16 ‘ tage the letter. To buttress his point, he refers to an article cording to its chairman, Burton Segall (PC/Tanganyika), it failed to get enough signatures to carry out the project. He and other members involved themselves instead in the efforts of a third group, which bears a press agent’s” nightmare for a name—the Ad Hoc Committee for Re- turned Peace Corps Volunteers Letter on Vietnam. This group. in some ways the most controversial of the three, originally intended to collect as many signatures as pos- sible for its moderate letter to the President and then to - disband. But events following dispatch of the letter may prompt the organizers of the Ad Hoc Committee to con- tinue their activities even more vigorously. a The letter went to the President on March 6, signed =| with 800 names. So far there has been no response from 7 the White House, a fact from which the organizers take 4} umbrage. One reason why there has been no response may be the feeling in Washington that the letter was not solely the work of the 800 ex-PCVs who signed it. “The © letter was not spontaneous,” Peace Corps Director Jack Hood Vaughan said in a recent telephone interview. “T_ know it was done by outsiders,” he added, and indicated that it was the “result of an intensive campaign by, people ~ outside the Peace Corps.” The chief “outsider” associated with the letter is Allard Lowenstein, a New York lawyer who also participated in the drafting of letters from 100 student body presidents }} last year, and after that, the letter from fifty Rhodes ¥) scholars. Organizers of the Ad Hoc Committee and Low- enstein himself insist that his participation was minimal, consisting of advice on how to circulate the letter among possible signers and how to achieve maximum publicity. Once the sentiments to be expressed were decided on, they say, he did lend some assistance in the phrasing. Lowenstein says the student leaders’ letter followed a speech last summer at the National Student Association ~ convention ¢he is a past NSA president, having served 4) in 1951, before the time the CIA is said to have become 9) involved). He says he made his speech with the intention | of creating a dialogue between the Administration and the student leaders. “I gave a suggestion of a tactic that would provide for further discussion, not merely a pro- test,” he says. “Anybody who thinks I can put words 7 into the mouths of student leaders, fifty Rhodes scholars and 800 Peace Corps Volunteers is being absolutely ab surd.” Eric Reuther (PC/Venezuela), Washington organizer of the Ad Hoc Committee, adds angrily: “If they are foolish enough to discredit our letter on these grounds, it will only force a more bitter response.” He contends} | that some Peace Corps sources, particularly that agency's) | public information office, deliberately attempted to sabo in the Baltimore Sun of March 7, quoting a Peace Corps spokesman as saying that the Ad Hoc Committee had approached 5,000 ex-PCVs, but that 4,200 “had refused to sign the letter. . That figure “amounts to nothing less than a complete fabrication and a deliberate attempt to misrepresent situation,’ Reuther later wrote to the paper. (He puts) the figure of ex-corpsmen solicited at 2,000.) The state-) ment, he continued, “was based upon a single telephone) conversation reputed to have taken place between a re THE NATION / July 3, 1967 atiires. The Peace Corps oe made no at- empt to verify the validity of his statement by checking members of our committee.” ; The spokesman—Thomas Page, director of Public In- formation for the Peace Corps—confirms that he gave the “4,200 out of 5,000” figure to the paper, but explains that he did not say they refused to sign the letter, merely that they were approached. More static for the committee’s efforts came in an editorial in the Sun on March 8: A new young pressure group may be developing among Peace Corps alumni, a sort of liberal Ameri- can Legion. This is not going to go over well with many members of Congress. . . . Since its inception the Peace Corps has done a splendid job of convincing Americans and most foreigners that it is non-political and non-ideological. That reputation has sustained it in some ticklish situations. If former members give people a reason—or an excuse—for believing otherwise, the Peace Corps will have lost a valuable asset. This did not go over well with members of the new movement. Says Reuther: What they are saying is that once someone has been a PCV, he is an apolitical being. But if we give our youth a mandate to become involved in the shaping of overseas institutions, and if we do not expect this same involvement by such people here, then we can only admit that our support for the Peace Corps’ work over- seas has been based on chauvinistic arrogance and nar- row self-interest. The returned Volunteer is going to make some noise—that is his duty. Members of the New York-based CRV appear to share Reuther’s sentiments. “When you commit yourself to change,” contends McGuire, “you are going to cause trouble. . We are not outside the political consensus 939 now, but if we do go outside, so what? Just what position does the government take on the political activities of returned PCVs? Ostensibly it welcomes their participation, provided it is made clear that they are not speaking for the Peace Corps. “The contribution of former volunteers to society in the United States and in the Third World will constitute a major impact of the Peace Corps,” Robert Calvert, Jr., then director of the Peace Corps’ Career Information Service, wrote last year. The architects of the Peace Corps knew that this unique overseas experience would have profound effects on the volunteer, that he would be more than likely to return home with renewed convictions. “We encourage them to stand up and be counted responsibly,” PC Director Vaughan said shortly after the release of the Ad Hoc Committee’s letter. “I have won- dered for some time now just what forms the political activities of ex-PCVs would take,” he said recently, add- ing that there is “no possibility” that Congressmen would bring pressure on the Peace Corps for the actions of any returnee group. _ Members of the Ad Hoc Committee and CRV report that Vaughan has generally been encouraging in private conversations with members of both groups, while ex- pressing some concern about the letters. The apparent “THE NATION / July 3, 1967 regard for Vaughan does not extend to the PC’s Public Information Office. “Their dishonesty in releasing the figure of 4,200 refusals to the Baltimore Sun was com- pletely invented,” says Lowenstein. Burton Segall of the third group, the Former Peace Corpsmen’s Committee for Peace, has reason to believe that PC/Washington will move decisively if necessary. His group’s name was originally the Peace Corps Com- mittee for Peace. Shortly after it started asking other ex-PCVs for signatures on the letter it was drafting, a note arrived from the Peace Corps’ General Counsel, stating that the use of the name “Peace Corps” was ille- gal, punishable by fine and imprisonment. “In all instances where the use of the name ‘Peace Corps’ by another organization is brought to our atten- tion,” the letter said in part, “we feel compelled to request - that organization to alter its name.” With some chafing, Segall’s group changed the name, but in its response in- quired why the unaffiliated Peace Corps service councils had not also been prevented from using the name. - Incidents such as this and the Ad Hoc Committee’s treatment by the Baltimore Sun prompt Aubrey Brown ot CRV to express fears about future actions by the Peace Corps or other agencies. “We'll have to be prepared to see them make some efforts to insulate themselves if we become more effective,” he noted recently at a lunch- eon meeting at the African-American Institute in New York City. He and other members of his group are troubled that three of politics’ strangest bedfellows—the Peace Corps, the far Left and, as indicated by recent dis- closures, the CI[A—all have reason to be concerned with the new groups of ex-PCVs. He concedes that there are few safeguards. The prospects for future development of groups such as the CRV, the Ad Hoc Committee and other or- ganizations of overseas volunteers look encouraging, if not bright. If a national association is possible it would more likely than not be patterned along the lines of the present Committee of Returned Volunteers: study groups in a number of cities, loosely joined in a national federa- tion. Brown, who says he would “prefer to pass out leaf- lets rather than to picket,” sees these groups doing ine depth studies of foreign policy problems, and drawing upon their experience and sensitivity as Dr. Immanuel Wallerstein, sociologist and African scholar at Columbia University, suggests, to serve as interpreters of the Third World to Americans. A writer for the Saturday Review asked in 1964: Will the volunteer “readjust,” give up and adapt? Or will he take up the challenges in our own backyard similar to those he faced overseas? The answer to this question may provide the most important story yet to be written about the Peace Corps and its volunteers. Speaking at the 1965 conference on behalf of those who sought a national association—and perhaps some- what prophetically for those one ‘in twelve ex-PCVs who have signed one of the letters on Vietnam—a volunteer said: “All we want to do is to make people aware, and then they are the pressure group for whatever they believe after they know the facts. All we’re trying to do is to ex- pose these people to a new world which we see.” 17 Sewing Machines & Union Mach HERBERT HILL Mr. Hill is national labor secretary of the NAACP and co- editor (with Arthur M. Ross) of Employment, Race and Poverty (Harcourt, Brace & World). When a group of teen-age girls, mainly Negro and Puerto Rican high school “dropouts” in New York City, bitterly defended their sewing machines and their right to learn a craft, the drama at the Lower West Side Community Center, a unit of the Neighborhood Youth Corps, was reported in many newspapers. However, the real story —the refusal of the International Ladies’ Garment Work- ers’ Union and the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, both AFL-CIO affiliates, to permit the federal training of apparel workers—was little noted. The New York Times failed to mention that the events occurred as the result of ILGWU and ACWA opposition to federal training in the clothing trades. The incident, treated as “human interest” by the press, is far more revealing of re- strictive labor union practices than its newspaper treat- ment suggests. The New York Times of June 7 reported that “Fifteen girls in a Lower West Side branch of the Neighborhood Youth Corps armed themselves with cherry cream pics and soft drinks yesterday to retain the sewing machines they love.” The Times quoted 17-year-old Sandra Brown as saying: “They’re not going to take these machines. If they do, they’re going to have to take us along.” It also referred vaguely to “a Youth Corps technicality.” As the sewing machines were being removed from other Neighborhood Youth Corps Job Training Centers in the Morrisania section of ihe Bronx and in west Jamaica, Queens, as well as in other ghetto locations, Mrs. Rosali Maxwell, a sewing machine instructor, stated that the high school dropouts will “probably go back to doing nothing again.” The apparel training program was finally saved only by private donations which made possible the delivery of new machines and bolts of fabric to the community training centers after the federal funds were withdrawn. On June 13, the New York Post quoted Jerry Kolker, project director, who said that “Neither the government nor the union will cooperate with us. But now we have enough machines and money to keep going, even if they come to collect them again. . . .” Kolker added: “We have asked them [the unions] for their help in developing training programs and working out a solution to this prob- Jem, but the ILGWU won't answer.” The insistence of the unions that there be no government-sponsored job training for workers in the apparel industry, and their ability to prevent new train- ing opportunities under the anti-poverty program, has a special implication for Negro workers. Negro applicants for jobs in garment manufacturing shops are often asked if they have had previous experience. Because they have been denied the opportunity to obtain such experience they are cither refused work or employed only in low- 18 Noe eee aed ¥ Mh pi hd paying unskilled. jobs. Despite their rigid opposition to federally sponsored training opportunities, officials of the ILGWU have admitted that the industry lacks experienced workers. Gus Tyler, assistant president of the union, has written: “There is a shortage of skilled sewing machine operators. Nobody knows this better than the ILGWU. Some employers have either closed shop in New York or threatened to fold up for lack of skilled operators.” Although admitting that this is the case, the ILGWU has more than once refused to permit federally sponsored training. In Newark, N. J., in 1965, the United Community Corporation, the anti-poverty Community Action Program agency for Newark, had a similar ex- perience. The federal Office of Economic Opportunity refused to provide funds for an apparel trades job train- ing program for 545 workers (200 of whom were wel- fare recipients). When the Newark group requested funds for the program already begun, they were told by officials of the U.S. Department of Labor that the basis for the rejection was the refusal of the two unions to approve the job training program. Shortly thereafter, the Newark training program was destroyed by federal officials act- ing upon the insistence of the ILGWU.* Action by the unions to prevent federally sponsored training in the garment industry dates back to August 22, 1963, when the U.S. Department of Labor, which ad- ministers the Manpower Development and Training Act, received a 14-page statement of the “position of the In- ternational Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union and the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America on the ques- tion of subsidized training programs in the apparel in- dustry of the United States.” In this policy statement (ini- tiated by the ILGWU) signed by Lazare Teper, research director of the ILGWU and Milton Fried, research direc- tor of the ACWA the unions stated that: “on the basis of our many years experience in the apparel industry we are convinced that such training of apparel workers is not only a waste of federal funds but sets in motion forces detrimental to the health and stability of our industry.” They also argued that “the hiring of inexperienced workers by the industry is central to its functioning.” And they stated that “training and the possession of a specific apparel skill is not an essential requirement for employ- ment in the apparel industry and... the training of in- experienced workers by the employer is a normal phase of the apparel business.” The report concludes: These considerations apply to government financed training programs under the Area Redevelopment Act as well as the Manpower Development and Training Act. We, therefore, respectfully urge that the Depart- ment of Labor as a matter of policy not sponsor or approve any training program for apparel workers under the Manpower Development Act. Both the ILGWU and the ACWA have used their con- siderable political power in Newark and elsewhere to pre- *For a discussion of the status of nonwhite workers in the gar- ment industry see Congressional Record (House), January 31, 1963.

According to _ the Occupational Training Needs Survey, Research Series _ No. 18, September, 1964, prepared and compiled by the _ state of New Jersey, Department of Labor and Industry, _ Division of Employment Security: By 1965 there will be a shortage in three of the six ~ semiskilled occupations surveyed. These occupations are: machine presser in the garment, laundry and clean- ing and dyeing industries. By 1968 (in addition to those occupations expected to be in short supply in 1965) there will be shortage of sewing machine operators and handpressers, in the garment, laundry, cleaning and dyeing industries. These data are significant because they relate directly to the proposal for funds submitted to the Office of Eco- nomic Opportunity by the Newark Community Action were having difficulty finding people with skills. In terms of fully prepared people there is a shortage.” He also noted that the growing shortage called for preparations to take care of the expanding needs in industry and asked for support of federal job training programs. ILGWU president, David Dubinsky, according to Women’s Wear Daily of March 2, 1966, in response to the Secretary’s statement, “scored the Administration’s assistance pro-* grams for on the job training as they applied to the coat and suit industry.” In the Harvard University 1959 study, “Made in New York: Case Studies in Metropolitan Manufacturing,” it is noted that Negroes and Latin Americans . . . were largely to be found in the less skilled lower paid crafts and in shops making the lower price lines and in this industry their advancement to higher skills was not proceeding very rapidly. In the higher skilled coat and suit industry the new ethnic groups have hardly made an appearance. Council. Furthermore, the city of Newark had been de- _clared a depressed area with very high unemployment among Negroes. Such job training programs, which are intended to enable the long-term unemployed to liberate themselves from the relief rolls by obtaining jobs as a re- sult of newly acquired skills, is the essence of any real “war against poverty.” The development of many large garment manufactur- ing companies with modern production methods that re- quire new skills has been evident for some time. But even though nonwhites constitute a potentially large source of skilled labor recruitment for this industry, they have been effectively denied such opportunities, mainly as a result of restrictive union practices. Secretary of Labor W. Willard Wirtz stated on March 1, 1966, at a meeting of the National Board of the Coat and Suit Industry: “Industry reports show that companies _ THE NATION / July 3, 1967 In short, Negro and Puerto Rican women, who are on the lower rungs of the city’s economic ladder, have become important in the New York garment industry, but they work mainly in the more standardized branches, and with few exceptions, unlike the Jewish and Italian men of earlier days, they do not become highly skilled tailor system workers on dresses or “cloaks.” As a re- sult, a shortage of skilled sewing machine operators is developing. In the past, the liberal and progressive ILGWU and ACWA were important vehicles for improving the economic status and social condition of immigrant work- ers. Tragically enough, these same unions now use their extensive powers to prevent the further entry of Negro and Puerto Rican workers into the labor market, or to lock these groups permanently in unrewarding menial and unskilled jobs. 19 LETTERS (continued from page 2) Elsewhere the Colonel implies that as a former Academy library executive officer, I am hardly qualified to criticize the Academy’s educational program. Such attacks on the character, qualifications or motives of anyone who dares suggest the Academy may not be infallible, I learned during three years there, are a standard device. Anticipating this line of attack, I did not present my personal opinion but reported the situation on the basis of interviews with more than a dozen past and present faculty members plus other documentary material, none of which the Colonel proved wrong in his letter... . Nowhere does the Colonel produce evidence which proves wrong or even disputes any of the questionable practices at the Academy which I reported; following an- other classic Air Force Academy tactic in dealing with | critics, he talks about everything but why cheating occurs —tepeatedly—at the Academy. If my report is as dis- torted and illogical as he claims, I suggest Colonel Alm cite the “real” reasons—supported by documentary evi- dence—for the scandals. J. Arthur Heise Los Angeles, Calif. Dear Sirs: I congratulate author J. A. Heise on his candid, yet sympathetic and understanding, analysis of the recent cheating scandals at the United States Air Force Academy. From my perspective as a former Air Force Captain and associate professor at the Academy (1958-60 and 1962-65), Mr. Heise—or rather the officer he quoted on page 626 —got to the heart of the matter when he stressed the costs of creating a truly intellectual environment for the edu- cation of our future officers. .. . The time has come to translate “pious platitudes about honor and leadership” (to use the words of Admiral Rick- over) into academically sound practices. Congress and the academic community—both of whom have major but un- exercised responsibilities for the education of future of- ficers, had better act quickly. If they continue to abdicate this responsibility, the views of one member of the White committee, before whom I testified in 1965, will con- tinue to be the Academy’s operating policy. I was told: “We must think of the survival of the institution.” We must indeed, but the institution at stake is our country, -not the Air Force or the Academy! John C. Ries, associate professor, University of California Cambridge, Mass. Dear Sirs: Mr. Heise poses an important question in the title of his article but he seems less interested in answer- ing it than in maligning the Air Force Academy and its dean. One would think that the Academy’s problems would arise from causes peculiar to it as a military educational institution. But such apparently is not the case. Look at Mr. Heise’s catalogue of deficiencies: “Standardization of prescribed courses,” “a lack of real student-faculty involve- ment,” the “policy of grading on a curve,” faculty meet- ings which “are rarely needed and rarely called,” “highly centralized administration,’ the passion for the Ph.D., “emphasis on questionable symbols of academic success.” . . - In seventeen years of teaching at Columbia and Harvard, I have heard all of these charges again and again and again. They may be the roots of the cheating problem, but if they are Mr. Heise doesn’t show why this is the case. . While Mr. Heise’s comments on the Academy are largely irrelevant, his attacks on the Academy’s dean, Brig. Gen. Robert F. McDermott, are blatantly wrong. For almost 150 years the system of education at the military academies was frozen into the pattern which Sylvanus Thayer set at West Point. Under General McDermott’s leadership, the Air Force Academy broke with this pattern and instituted, as Heise himself has to recognize, a diversified course pro- gram, majors, an enrichment program, graduate work, and advance standing. These innovations are now being copied 20 I~ ay 5 4 eh 4 by the other service aac ‘By any standard, General McDermott is one of the leading innovators: i men in higher education today. .. . Samuel P.

Ruppenthal’s survey of prospects for the Super- sonic Transport as generator of political, social and eco- nomic questions its promoters decline to acknowledge [May 22, May 29, June 19]. Any resident of the Potomac River valley in the vicinity of Washington can testify that the Federal Aviation Agency accepts no responsibility for the consequences of its fixed policy to promote the interests of air carriers. In May, 1963, the FAA issued a policy declaration that it would not allow jet carriers into Washington National Airport, just 3 miles from the White House. For reasons it has never made public, FAA reversed this and the jets came into National in April, 1966. Noise, pollution and mathematically increased hazard of crashes in the center of the densely populated region embraced by the Capital Beltway are now fixed qualities of life in this city. People in all sections of Washington along the river report falling property values, kerosene droppings, near misses (and verified instances of cowlings and other parts off planes—so far, fortunately, landing in the river instead of in the streets), not to mention the endless howling and whine of engines, night and day.

Dear Sirs: Phil Kerby’s article, “Abortion: Laws and At- titudes” [The Nation, June 12], deserves special recognition . for its comprehensive and incisive analysis. One error (which many writers on this topic have per- petuated) does not mar it. For the record, the total number of maternal deaths in the United States in 1964 was 1,096, of which 247, or 19 per cent, are recorded in official sta- tistics as caused by abortion. To this number should be added an unknown number of maternal deaths which are the result of criminal abortion but which, because of the stigma, have been attributed to other causes. Passage of the Beilenson Therapeutic Abortion Act in California will, we hope, decrease this needless toll.

The Holocaust: Myths and Facts feature, the Bolshevik Revolution as a Jewish plot. Reactionary Russian émigrés fanned out into Europe and the United States spreading the infection of the Protocols. They reached Henry Ford who took up the cause, and in 1920 had the Protocols serialized in his Dearborn Independent, circulation 300,000. Later in the year he reprinted the material in a book which was distributed in the United States in half a million copies, and was translated into sixteen languages, including the Ger- man. The Protocols emerged strongly in the United States once again in 1938, when Father Coughlin published them in his Social Justice, with a circulation of 1 million. Russian émigrés brought the Protocols directly into Germany in 1920. In 1922, they played a great part in provoking the assassination of Walther Rathenau as an “Elder of Zion.” The Nazis grafted their vélkisch-racist ideology on the Pro- tocols, which Hitler fervently embraced as the ideological basis for the “final so- lution.” The myth, Cohn shows, served as a “warrant” for genocide. In his Treblinka, Jean-Francois Steiner attempts an account of the exe- cution of this warrant in one ghetto, Vilna, and one extermination camp, Treblinka, where about 800,000 Jews were killed. Steiner was 2 years old when his Polish-Jewish father died in a camp, and he was reared by his French-Catholic mother in France. Written like a thriller, this book was an immediate success in France and aroused considerable contro- versy. The first few chapters convey the Nazi techniques for liquidating the Vilna ghetto and the rise of underground re- sistance. Most of the book describes the establishment of the extermination camp at Treblinka, the formation of revolt plans, several frustrated attempts at re- volt, the final desperate rising (which set free some 600 inmates, of whom about forty survived the manhunt that fol- lowed), and the final Nazi erasure of all traces of the camp. Steiner had spent half a year studying the records and interviewing survivors. The book cannot be said to be docu- mentary, the American publishers’ blurb notwithstanding, but is rather a semi- fictional adaptation of history designed to set forth Steiner’s theses of Jewish be- havior during the holocaust. In an inter- view with Le Nouveau Candide, Steiner explains that he wrote it because of the shame he felt at the passivity of the slaughtered 6 million—a reflection, per- haps, of the Raul Hilberg-Hannah Arendt thesis that Jews offered no sig- nificant resistance to their extermination. But the Treblinka revolt, it appears, of- fered him theses that appeased his shame. ) { But Steiner’s theses are a mass of con- tradictions. Jewish behavior under the — Nazis, he holds, was governed by the to him peculiarly Jewish, mystically tena- cious belief in life as such. (Incidentally, — Simone de Beauvoir’s laudatory introduc- — tion makes one wonder if she fully un- derstood the book she praises. In direct contradiction to Steiner, she asserts that in the camps “all peoples behaved iden- — tically.” Further, she writes that Steiner rejects the notion of “the mystery of the i, Jewish soul,” while his book advances — precisely some such view.) Together with this mystical belief in life, Steiner be- lieves that the Jews wished to survive to — bear witness to Nazi bestiality. At the same time, many who survived, Steiner — holds, did so by serving as “accomplices” of extermination. The Treblinka rebels, . Steiner repeatedly asserts, were just such “accomplices” because they attended the undressing and haircutting of the Jews, and also disposed of the corpses. No less troublesome is the synthetic history of some parts of the book, such as Steiner’s designation of the Vilna ghetto as “the pilot ghetto,” a proving ground for developing techniques to pre- pare Jews psychologically for extermina- — tion. The fact is that the Vilna ghetto was set up in July, 1941, a year after the Warsaw and other ghettos had been in operation. He wrongly places in Treb- linka a melodramatic episode that was actually part of the rising at the Sobibor extermination camp. At an early stage in the Sobibor revolt, chief Nazi camp of- ficials were lured into “appointments” | with camp tailors and shoemakers, and killed with hatchets. Steiner has the Treb- linka revolt leaders plan just this tactic, refers to it several times in reviewing the plans, and then forgets all about it in his detailed account of the uprising. Survivors who have devoted them- selves to assembling and verifying the history of the holocaust have attacked Steiner’s book. Rochel Auerbach, Treb- 21 linka survivor, associate of the War- saw Ghetto historian, Emmanuel Ringel- blum, and presently head of the Depart- ment of Testimony at the Yad Vashem archives in Tel Aviv, denounced it in the Paris Yiddish paper, Undzer Vort. Apart from her rejection of Steiner’s wish “to transfer a great part of the respon- sibility for German mass murder onto Jewish victims themselves,” she accused Steiner of having broken his agreement to allow her to read the manuscript be- fore publication, and of having used real names of victims and survivors now liy- ing in Israel, attributing fictional con- versations and actions to them. Yad Vashem demanded that these names be changed in further editions. Fearing the possibility of legal action, publishers agreed to the change. Rochel Auerbach was invited to Paris to discuss further corrections with the author. But he stubbornly refused, she writes, to “purge the book of the desecrations with which he soiled the materials taken from Jewish sources.” She then felt compelled publicly to reject the “false thanks” given f 5 \ ; her in the book (retained in the Amer- ican edition). She has asked the prospec- tive Italian producers to remove the “slanders” in the book from the forth- coming film. Two others whom Steiner “thanks” for their aid, Leon Czertok and Olga Imbert, both of the Center of Jewish Documentation in Paris, have also rejected his thanks (retained in the American edition). David Rosset, non- Jewish camp survivor and theorist of camp psychology, has described the book as “full of racist formulas.” One instance: the leader of the revolt “lacked that typically Jewish quality of looking for the hardest way, always wanting to do better, never being satisfied with the possible,” etc. Léon Poliakov points out other instances in his sharply con- demnatory article reprinted in Atlas for September, 1966. Others in Israel and Paris have condemned the book and even asked for recall of the “Prix de Résistance” award for 1966. What is particularly disconcerting is the com- mercial attitude revealed in Steiner’s re- mark, reported by Rochel Auerbach, NEW YORK TIMES WEATHER MAP Weather Map, amidst this tiny print, you stand out like a comfortable air of nudity.

It is the kind of thriller that makes one miss his subway stop, as it did this reviewer. But whether it will increase understanding of the holocaust is another matter. Fortunately, another book has recently appeared which should serve as a strong antidote—Yuri Suhl’s invalu- able collection of historical, scrupulous- ly documented accounts of Jewish re- sistance in all parts of occupied Europe which Suhl wrote because, as he says: “The world knows little or nothing about the other side of the holocaust picture: Jewish resistance. . . . It is not generally known that in every labor and concentration camp there existed a Jew- ish underground organization that kept up the prisoners’ morale, reduced their physical sufferings, committed acts of sabotage, organized escapes, collected arms, planned revolts, and, in many instances, carried them out.” Nor is much generally known about the numer- ous daring Jewish partisan and re- sistance groups. Even though Suhl’s book makes no claim to be exhaustive—the book could easily have been ten times its present size—it should permanently put to rest the legend of total Jewish passivity. Suhl’s book includes, for example, the diary of Abraham Lissner, revealing the existence of an effective and heroic Jewish Partisan Unit in Paris which, both alone and in coordination with other groups, carried out an enormous number of acts of sabotage from 1942 to 1944, when they were executed by the Nazis. Perhaps the least-known chapter of Jewish resistance is the heroic career of the Herbert Baum Jew- ish group in Berlin from 1937 to 1942, and Suhi includes the late Prof. Ber Mark’s account of this group, taken from Gestapo files. The most important act of the group was the partial burn- ing of Goebbels’ anti-Soviet exhibit at the Lustgarten in May, 1942, after which the group was betrayed and exe- cuted by the Nazis. Narratives of resistance in the largest ghettos and camps (Sobibor, Byalistok, Warsaw, Treblinka, Minsk, Vilna), and in smaller places one never heard of (Marcinkonis, Lachwa, Tuczyn, Koldyczewo, Horodenka); impressive achievements of Jewish partisans in Poland and farther east; stories of out- standing individual heroism by men, women and children in resistance move- ments and solitary acts; summaries of THE NATION / July 3, 1967 r can e BP eeisium, Italy, Bhigaria: all in. ‘Subl’s book bear striking wit- ss to Jewish activist heroism in the e of the Nazi terror. Simon Wiesenthal’s memoirs of search, seizure and exposure of Nazi War criminals, in Joseph Wechsberg’s Superbly edited volume, carries the anti- Nazi effort into the postwar period. Having miraculously escaped death “many times, Wiesenthal decided at the _war’s end to devote himself to bringing Nazis to justice. He is motivated neither _ by vindictiveness nor revenge but by I _ deep concern for the future. Wiesenthal’s attitude is epitomized in a remark he 4 heard from an American major: “The enemy of yesterday will become the - enemy of tomorrow if we let him alone.” _ As a one-man research institute, Wiesen- hal has an amazing record. He has brought to justice about 900 of the «22, 500 Nazis in his files, including his ~ essential aid in tracking down Adolf Eichmann. Wechsberg’s “profile” of - Wiesenthal reveals an _ incorruptible, _ selfless, deeply humane man, as indeed _ the memoirs themselves confirm. Light is thrown on important aspects of postwar history by these memoirs. The clandestine Nazi escape junta, ODESSA (Organization der SS-Ange- _hGrigen), which is funded with about _ $1 billion in buried treasure and invest- ments in neutral and nonbelligerent _ countries, is exposed. Wiesenthal docu- ments the well-known fact that Ger- man officialdom is permeated with high , Nazis and the less-known fact that Nazis _ are protected from prosecution and con- viction in court. Shocking miscarriages of justice in war-crimes trials are re- lated. And Wiesenthal shows how the _ British occupiers evinced more concern in stemming the illegal immigration to Palestine than in apprehending war _ criminals, and how American, British and French denazification efforts gave way to cooperation with ex-Nazis in pursuit of cold-war anti-communism. The astonishing extent of Austrian par- ticipation in the holocaust emerges: Wiesenthal told Wechsberg that although — Austria’s population was 8 per cent of that of the Reich, “about one-third of _all people working for the S.S. extermina- tion machinery were Austrians. Almost half of the 6 million Jewish victims of _ the Hitler regime were killed by Austri- ans.” At a time when neo-Nazism in Ger- ‘Many shows signs of revival (and Weisenthal believes the new reaction to be not only German but part of an in- _ ternational movement), the memoirs of this dedicated humanist sound a strong note of warning. ‘THE NATION / July 3, 1967 The Wondering Jew THE CARPENTER YEARS.

LEONARD KRIEGEL Mr. Kriegel teaches English at the City College of New York, and is currently working on a novel and on a_ study of politics and literature in contemporary America. Any novelist must avoid being smothered by a personal identity crisis, especially in a work which is itself about a crisis in identity. But it is too easy to claim that all men face identity crises today, and that the novelist who is conscious of himself as a Jew is not singular. For while all men are alienated by defini- tion, the Jew is faced with an alienation that is peculiar to him alone, one that exists within the context of his imme- diate experience. In our time, his conflict has been strik- ingly nonreligious—at least until quite recently. Of the novels under discussion here, only Arthur Cohen’s The Carpenter Years tries to come to terms with the problem of how one can be a Jew in a gentile world which wears its smug security like a flower in its buttonhole. Although I do not think that Mr. Cohen has been particularly successful, he has been daring in his choice of a theme. His purpose is not ecumenical. He does not propose to reconcile American Jew and American Christian but rather to explore the very brittle heritage each can claim as his own. The Carpenter Years is apparently an effort at creating a contemporary parable about religion in the United States. Un- fortunately, Cohen’s protagonist exists only on the edges of the reader’s per- ceptions, insofar as those perceptions can be felt. Edgar Morrison, born Morris Edelman (from the noble Morris to the son of that Morris, conceived in his own spiritual inadequacy), is Cohen’s battle- ground for the conflict of Jew and gentile. Having renounced religion, fam- ily, heritage and name, Morrison has emerged as the director of a small-town YMCA in Pennsylvania, a model hus- band and father, a Christian, and an unfortunately static symbol. The novel begins when he learns of the imminent arrival of his son by his first marriage, to take a job in town. But the confronta- tion between father and son, a confronta- tion toward which the entire novel moves, is remarkably inadequate. The reader is left with the impression that Edgar Mor- rison has settled for far less than he might have expected. To trade the rich history of the Jew for the directorship of a small- town YMCA is a very poor bargain in- deed. And to go from Thomas Mann’s Naptha to Cohen’s Edgar Morrison is simply too long a journey for this reader. It leaves one in a kind of spiritual torpor. Arthur Cohen is a Jew by choice, as any reader of his nonfiction knows. failure in this novel is Cohen’s inability to make his religious consciousness de- cisive for the reader. Herbert Gold’s Fathers, an auto- biographical memoir,” does not wrestle with the spiritual rootlessness of the contemporary Jew in a gentile world. If anything, it celebrates that rootlessness. It is stasis that both Gold and the father he has so vividly brought to life in this novel seem to fear most. What Gold achieves is the — vital re-creation of a world that had ended long before the Second World War, al- though we did not know it then: the Jewish immigrant seeking fortune and dynasty in America. In his previous novels, Gold’s language, always rich and sensuous, stood in the way of what he was trying to do. He was that peculiar creature, a “natural” novelist who had not written the novel one felt he was capable of writing. It is probably this that accounts- for the smugness with which Gold has been dismissed by a number of critics and fellow novelists, most of whom should have known bet- ter. Gold was generally accused of not being tough enough, of not being con- temporary, of lacking what Hemingway called cojones (a much traveled novelistic commodity), of being too sentimental. Some of this was true. Perhaps it still is. But Gold at his best, and he is at his best in Fathers, is a warm, lyrical, zestful writer. (An indication of how tough we Americans are can be found in the fact that these adjectives seem strangely hackneyed, threatening the critic’s own toughness. It is a difficult land; even book reviewers bare their teeth in front of the mirror when they wake up each morning.) The movement from the author's father Sam Gold to Herb Gold him- self, from the father as father to the son as father, is something that de- mands no summation. Gold treads dangerously sentimental territory and the proof of his artistry is that only 23 } \ The “novel in the form of a anne, ie ae ai ee ape Ssh SnD in fleeting instances does the novel suc- cumb to sentiment. Perhaps our chief problem in reading Fathers is that we ourselves are too self-consciously filled with Angst to understand a Sam Gold, or even to accept him at face value. He is too elementary in his needs and desires, too responsive to the pork bar- tel of American life, too raucous, too tender, too loving, too intent on impos- ing a vision of his own destiny on his America. “But in this life you have to take chances and defend yourself like you can” is as meaningful a morality as any he could have learned in Russia and brought with him to the United States. Sam Gold is a wanderer. And the Jew as wanderer is a cliché only because, like so many clichés, it has a substantial basis in history. Gold has taken the myth of the Jew as wanderer and molded it to his own purposes. While some of us search for superman, he has been content to write a novel which is decidedly uncontemporary and remarkably good. According to the jacket copy, Bernard Kops’s The Dissent of Domin- ick Shapiro “presents a vivid picture of Jewish family life and offers a salu- tary . . . comment on rebellion among the young.” In short, Kops is touch- ing all bases. His difficulty is that he is not quite sure of whether his real subject is Jewish life in London or adolescent rebellion. He cannot alto- gether get away from a sometimes staged “Yiddishkeit in Golders Green” atmosphere. But despite this occasional artificiality, this is a fine novel, one that readers will inevitably compare to Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye. In his rebelliousness, his distrust of the adult world, even in his outraged sense of having been conned by those who can- not understand him, Dominick must be compared to Holden Caulfield. He is, however, far more a product of this generation. Dominick is a winner at the novel’s end, while Holden speaks to us from the sanctuary of his famous asylum. With a single notable exception—a magnificent comic explosion of a Jew- ish wedding in London which in itself is worth the price of the book—the scenes which directly concern themselves with the Jewishness of the characters fall victim to the author’s desire to make of the Jew a contemporary comic out- law. But when he is dealing with Domi- nick among his.kind, those restless dis- affiliates who seem to represent England itself at this moment in history, Kops is in superb control, and his novel is gen- uinely moving and thick with humor. When we watch Dominick’s dissent in 24 ‘ . . . . action, when we view him with a pack of beatniks, follow his first sexual ex- perience, cheer for him as he hoists an anarchist flag on Big Ben to emerge an- English celebrity, he is appealingly pica- resque, certainly an adequate anti-hero for this anti-heroic age. These three novels indicate that there is still a great deal of vitality in the Jew- ish confrontation with Anglo-Saxon so- ciety, sufficient to feed many more writ- ers. But with this observation one sus-— pects also that the Jew as rebel in fiction — has outlived both his time and useful- ness. One mythicizes at the price of possible falsity. And if the writer’s back- ground is frequently taken for his mean- ing, the sad truth is that he is too fre- quently willing to have it that way. It is, after all, much easier. It is also much more dangerous to the powers that the creative imagination must exert. Adding Up the Double MR. CLEMENS AND MR. TWAIN: A Biography. By Justin Kaplan. Simon & Schuster. 424 pp. $7.95. JAY MARTIN Mr. Martin, an associate professor of Eng- lish and American Studies at Yale Uni- versity, is the author of Harvests of Change: Ametican Literature 1865-1914 (Prentice- Hall) and Conrad Aiken: A Life of His Art (Princeton University Press). He is presently at work on a biography of Na- thanael West. Mr: Clemens and Mr. Twain, published almost a year ago, has been accorded high commendation and wide recogni- tion, culminating recently in the award- ing of both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize to Justin Kaplan for his biography. Many reviewers of the book, however, have tended merely to nod pleasantly in Mr. Kaplan’s direc- tion, and then go on to write out their own versions of Mark Twain’s “double- ness,” his “dark side” or his literary “place,” using as their evidence the vast array of material which Kaplan himself has gathered. Such a preoccupation with the sub- ject of the book rather than with the book itself seems to be a convention of reviewing at the present time. Perhaps in this case it suggests that the readers were encouraged to go on to Twain himself or to recall, absorbing some of Kaplan’s enthusiasm, their own pleas- ures in reading Twain. But a book which a former editor of the Mark Twain papers has declared “is sure to remain for a long time the standard book” about Twain, one so subsequently dis- tinguished, should be scrutinized on its own terms. If it will provide for this generation their portrait of Twain (as another historian has contended), what kind and how complete a portrait will that be? Its particular accomplishments, every- where apparent, are easy to enumerate. Eminent among these, of course, is the obvious command of document and de- tail which Kaplan shows. He has clear- ly gone through, minutely, a mountain of material far larger than that which Albert Bigelow Paine consulted; and al- though he has reduced his biography to less than half the length of Paine’s, he is essentially more complete than Paine: certainly his book is more accurately balanced. And he is never, as Paine was constantly, swept away by the flood of materials at his disposal. Moreover, in his presentation of de- tail he is witty, with a sharp feeling for light irony; he is accurate and precise (“To be in New York in 1867 was to be at the scrambling center of American life’); and he is inventive in style—as in his description of a Clemens family scene as if it were a sculptured “Rogers group.” His book is not designed as a psychoanalytic biography, and while it is true {as one reviewer complained) FIELD CRICKET He’s having a field day in my room and I don’t mind having him make all these jumps and thrusts. He accommodates, adjusts himself better than a boy in a candy factory. Pocket companion, darkheaded shadow of my boyhood.

And I keep shedding mv body forever saying goodbye to the departing boy. RAYMOND ROSELIEP THE NATION / July 3, 1967 Rect to “explain” Twain's it or multiple personalities, he makes a virtue of this lack and shows admi- able tact and restraint in his analysis of Twain’s psyche. In particular he has some shrewd comments on Twain’s am- _ bivalence toward money, brilliantly call- "ing the books which come from this ob- session a “pornography of the dollar.” For his Garin theme, the split in the man indicated in the title, he has more, and more accurately presented, _ evidence than has ever been brought to- gether, although critics since Twain's time have felt and discussed the divi- sions in him. Earlier, simple, discus- sions —like that of the Van Wyck _ Brooks-Bernard DeVoto debate — Kap- lan simply passes by, in his more in- formed view, whereas many other critics ended here, stalled on their terms of debate. Kaplan’s perception, his under- | standing of Twain’s wit, his own clear style—in short, his absolute command ) ~—C of: narrative—all commend his book. /) _—‘« Although Kaplan is so careful to be accurate about Twain, he is apt to fall into the clichés of thirty years ago (vintage Brooks-DeVoto) concerning others, particularly in his view of Bret Harte and William Dean Howells, who both play important parts. Harte, who was born in Albany, N. Y., in 1839, and did not go to California until 1854, is portrayed consistently by Kaplan as _a Westerner, and he remarks on Harte’s (in contrast to Twain’s) confidence in Eastern society: he agrees, furthermore, _ with Twain’s (and Brooks’s) biased view of Harte’s literary career, although Harte produced some of his best work in his late parodies. Howells, who had first written a biography of Lincoln in Columbus, O., then had been American ‘consul in Venice, returned to a job on _Godkin’s Nation in New York, and ater lived in New York for thirty years, he speaks of as having “a sure, un- _Wavering vocation in Boston,” and as- ‘sociates him with ithe Concord and Cambridge writers in the genteel tradi- tion, though Howells had dared Twain ‘to tell the “black truth” about him- ‘self in autobiography, and published far more black truth about American soci- ety than Twain. In the case of the comic Writers and rivals of Twain in the period —P. V. Nasby and Josh Billings, for instance—Kaplan takes the view of them as buffoons (which he defends Twain against); he does not make clear that, like “Mark Twain,” these are all as- sumed names, that the comic name was also the satirist’s double, concealing name, and that, like Clemens, David Ross Locke (Nasby) was an accurate [HE NATION / July 3, 1967 has no pore tnt peat of Michael Goldman, Poetry Edi- tor, will be on leave until Septem- ber 15. During that time no poetry will be considered for publication; we shall welcome submissions again in the early fall. and vehement satirist of the corruption of his age. As here, so in the cases of such writers as Josiah Gilbert Holland, Samuel Bowles and Thomas Wentworth Higginson, he diminishes critics of Twain in order to raise Twain in the reader’s estimation. It is curious that this group, which Kaplan _ generally scorns, should have played so important a role for so sharp an intelligence as Emily Dickinson: these three, precisely, were her intellectual “tutors.” Kaplan does not mention Emily Dick- inson, and refers to Henry James only briefly; Henry Adams appears nowhere, or do John DeForest, Rebecca Hard- ing Davis, Stephen Crane, Sidney Lanier. Edward Eggleston, Edgar Watson Howe, Edward Bellamy or Edith Wharton. Only as people, not really as important contemporary writers, do Joel Chandler Harris, Walt Whitman, Sarah Orne Jewett and even Howells come into this book. For a work about a writer, there is strangely absent a sense that Twain was part of a community of writers— that others were, like him, concerned with the figure of the double (had not Melville treated this to exhaustion in The Confidence Man? Was not Adams’ Education subtitled “A Study in Twen- tieth-Century Miultiplicity’?), with the lost primitive past (Thoreau’s and Eggleston’s theme before Twain’s), with utopian thought, with the genre of the travel book or of a novel dealing with the American continent (DeForest, not to mention Cooper, preceded Twain in both genres), with the theme of Ameri- can Innocents in Europe (shared _ bril- liantly by James), and so on. What did Twain read? Whom did he admire? What was his intellectual life? His sense of the art of the novel (the subject of a brilliant essay by Twain on Howells, here unmentioned)? There is a genuine piece of literary history relegated to a footnote, while the history of social, technical and political institutions fills many paragraphs, ahd identical quota- tions or information concerning Twain’s view of H. H. Rogers, H. W. Beecher’s opinion of his sister, Howells’ comment on Twain’s frequent dinners, and the size of the Twain estate in 1963 are repeated needlessly. Reacting, perhaps, against the focus of other books on the literary Twain, Kaplan deals chiefly with the Clemens-making Twain; but to the extent that he sacrifices Twain for Clemens he is both false to the balance implied in his title and to our reasons for caring at all about Mr. Clemens. Nor does he really consider the im- portance of the connections or shifts be- tween one book and another of Twain’s; or that Twain’s art has a development of its own which runs parallel to, but is not entirely a reflection of, the artist’s life. Preoccupied with the life of the man, Kaplan misses the life of the art. It is not surprising, but it is dismay- ing, that he devotes many more pages to Twain’s schemes for the Paige Type- setter than to Huckleberry Finn. Both the accomplishments and defects of the book are aspects, I think, of the form in which Kaplan has chosen to tell his tale. Twain’s “central drama,” he tells us immediately, “was his dis- covery of the usable past.” Kaplan, too, has discovered that the past, Twain’s past, is usable, and part of the great drama of this book consists in his ef- forts to make it available to us. Not only apt parallels but direct allusions to the present—to Hal Holbrook, Earl K. Long and Billie Sol Estes, for instance—ap- pear in the book as hints of this. To make the past freely available, within the general chronology imposed by the exigencies of biography, he has aes Pre-Publication Notict®™™ COMING: A Serious Call to an American (R)Evolution THE POLITICAL ACTIVIST’S GUIDE TO ’68 ELECTION ISSUES by N.

He moves freely back and forth: anticipating events from present causes, tracing out the history of Twain’s lifelong responses all at once, demonstrating how Twain’s attitudes and satiric material were accumulating. Like Henry Adams, in his History of the Administrations of Jefferson and Madi- son, he wisely, but without distortion, watches his hero kicking and gesticulat- ing on the flood of time, which will at last immerse him. And like Henry James, in biographies of Hawthorne and William Wetmore Story, he enters the life of that frail being with enormous sympathy and tenderness. He sees Twain sharply, but with great understanding, as he moves back and forth along the lines of force in his subject’s career. Such free shifting has its dangers, and for all his skill Kaplan does not entirely avoid them. The chief danger is that he will confuse one time with another, Describing Henry Ward Beech- er’s preaching style in 1867, he says that the minister “described himself as a ‘cordial Christian Darwinist’”’—a_ re- mark which Beecher could hardly have made for almost twenty years. Again, when Kaplan describes Twain’s meet- ing with Lewis Carroll (another writer interested in the “double”) in May, 1873, “the shyest full-grown man, except Uncle Remus, I ever met,” he quotes Twain as saying, although Twain did not meet Joel Chandler Harris (Remus: an- other “double” figure) until 1882. Kaplan thus slides easily from time to time (and, in a book where the index is imperfect and documentation is very sketchy, he does not give accurate documentation for either of these quotations), occasion- ally falling into the trap of a method whose generally brilliant success is to that extent affected. But these are minor skepticisms in the light of the book’s successes. Twain’s eccentricities are his own and not his author’s. Kaplan’s style is his own and not the result of stringing together his subject’s cynical or witty remarks, a decided danger to which biographers of humorists often surrender. Kaplan is himself witty and wise, involved in re- sponsiveness but detached in judgment. If his book does not give the full measure of justice to Twain’s work, and should be supplemented by those of Walter Blair, Henry Nash Smith and James Cox, still, it provides a rich un- derstanding of Twain’s life that none of these can give. Taking them all together, with Kaplan’s book undoubtedly serving as the base, they give us fully and elaborately Mr. Clemens and Mr. Twain.

As a statement, | this is wobbly enough, but it is tem- | porarily useful. For it focuses attention on a long-standing controversy: the de- ‘sire to fend off “life” in an effort to create a self-contained aesthetic entity, _ felationally compressing metaphors of _ Outside energies—which is resisted by the _ equally strong will to diffuse, tweak and bluff response by a more activist, un- structured notion of art, incorporating _ Teal objects, and often seeking ironically to change the status of the non-art sur- - roundings. In this metaphysical argu- Ment, the issue of abstraction versus ‘Tepresentation is secondary, or irrelevant. _ Though both sensibilities (whose com- _ mon origin is Cubism) are elitist, they conflict in a struggle between reduc- _ tion and extension, optimism and _ pes- _ simism, faith in rationality, and formal Manipulation opposed to skepticism about the effectiveness of form itself. A protagonist of the first camp will _ view a work of the second as “theatri- cal”; his own efforts, in turn, will be considered “cosmetic.” Yet while they Tadically differ as to the negotiability of conventions and moral accent (e.g., the permissible limits of what can be done), both these antitheses are irreplace- able constituents of the avant-garde, lending it its characteristic tautness and _ Vitality. Because contemporary criticism has fot yet satisfactorily formalist’ position, the appearance of _two books by practitioners of mixed edia, both extraordinary minds, is wel- come. The formulations in Claes Olden- _ burg’s Store Days and Allan Kaprow’s _ Assemblage, Environments, Happen- ings are, above all, vivid. They seem to me, in addition, far-reaching and pro- found. Being artists, these men tend to be partisan and self-interested; but it redeems their texts that they are also exceptionally self-critical. __ Despite the undiscipline of his notes, Oldenburg is perhaps the more literary of the two; he is certainly the more poetic. “I am for the art of conversation between the sidewalk and a blind man’s : “metal stick. . . .” “I am for an art that is political-erotical-mystical, that does something other than sit on its ass in a museum.” In comparison, one finds in Kaprow: “. . .

Electric fans start wafting breezes of ‘New Car’ smell past your nose as leaves bury heaps of a whining, burping, foul, pinky mess.” These utterances have their correlation in William Burroughs’ reader-bugging language, his ecstatic loathing, that has its own analogies in Miller and Mailer, and that finds expression also in Ed- ward Kienholz’s gruesome environments. It is important to locate this disgust filled with enjoyment, this aesthetic diarrhea, not only because it is an authentic re- action to the American scene but be- cause, in blending fundamentally opposed effects, it can attempt to comprehend a long unrealized synesthesia in the arts. Not that Oldenburg’s Store, a Second Street establishment, rented at Christ- mas, 1961, and filled with plaster edi- bles and products of his own viscous imagining, was greatly synesthetic. The present book comprises a kind of desul- tory sales pitch to his own consciousness, on the implications of this project. Ini- tially, one finds Oldenburg forcing him- self to “think” outside bourgeois values: Perhaps this can’t be done, but why should I even want to create “art”— that’s the notion I can’t get rid of. As- suming that I wanted to create some- thing, what would that something be? Just a thing, an object. Art would not enter into it. I make a charged object (“living”). An “artistic”? appearance or content is derived from the object’s reference, not from the object itself or me. These things are displayed in gal- leries, but that is not the place for them. A store would be better... . Museum in b(ourgeois) concept equals store in mine. After all, the last thing a bourgeois public would consider an artist to be is a storekeeper. It is interesting that Kaprow, too, rejects the gallery or museum, even any cubicle, for a display for works of art —but on the ground that these places too rigidly condition the spatial exten- sions he envisages. Whereas Oldenburg can say: “My life is a history of rooms in which I am self-locked in. My life is also a history of frantic ‘escapes’ which come to nothing, back to a room....I have had something like affairs with rooms.” Forhim, meanings saturate every- thing, and what is to be done, as a re- sult, is to invert them, turn them inside out (“Store—Eros”). For Kaprow, the artist must accept whatever the nature of his improbable materials, his new subject matter, functionally making sure that they have not been cliché-ridden by previous usage. These differences of ap- proach—the one instinctively social and Dada, the other, faithful in its logic, even to anarchy—yet seem mutually in- formed by an unacknowledged presenti- ment) of nothingness, as if experience were so ungraspable that a deluge of sensations must be substituted for it. Whether emotional or pragmatic, whether zealous for an audience or indifferent to one, the experience of these two men is that the greater their intimacy with the literal stuff of actuality, the deeper are they infected by a sense of unreality. Since habitual behavior and fixed catego- ries choke that sense of life being lived in which they want almost to immolate themselves, they mount an attack, in an — ever maddened, often self-defeating whirl, against the real enemy: the capacity of the human mind to make distinctions.

Tealism .. . distance . . . commercial pressures. . . . I no longer see the distinc- tion between theater and visual arts very clearly . . . distinctions I suppose are a civilized disease.” And indeed, there is something savage and childlike about him, such that he is able to conceive of a theatre of objects, in which even people are regarded as things. But this becomes a form of imitation, con- taminated by an overwhelming animism: “my desire to imitate extends to the event or activity of making the thing I imi- tate. In one instance that is to be for a moment a sign-painter, in another, for a moment, a baker of cakes, in another the cutter of suits. . . . In some cases especially, but really in all, it is neces- sary to be for a moment nature her- self, if this is possible.” But, of course, it is not, for which reason his theatre, in fact all his work, melds extreme arti- fice and extreme spontaneity. The mid- dle range of experience is dropped out, or rather, it emerges only as the nominal heading for a_ series of elaborate charades. To pretend not to know the difference between making and repre- senting, this pretension, once enacted, brings crashing down the whole dramatic structure of plot, character and sequence, as it is known in Western theatre. According to the prime exegete of Happenings, Michael Kirby, such an attitude has extraordinary repercussions | WANT TO NUCLEAR WAR. 28 A HUMAN BRIDGE TO RUSSIA WITH CITIZEN EXCHANGE CORPS This Summer Send me FREE reprints of N.

The actor functions within subjective or objective person-place matrices.” Oldenburg’s per- sonages, on the other hand, are non- matrixed (like musicians). They are what they are, even when “performing”; their situations are real situations—literalist. Obviously, this literalism does much to destroy the conventional notion of “role”; it also works forcefully to collapse the contextual meaning of events, making them infinitely more ambiguous than in the normal theatre. As often happens in hybrids, how- ever, one finds the introduction of in- gredients antithetic to the various media involved, with a consequent threat to resolution. Something of the kind goes far to explain the general failure of the “Nine Evenings of Art and Technology” last year at a New York armory. If the spectator is oriented toward the visual arts, he tends to “look” and to wander in his looking, structuring his experience as he goes along. If he is primarily theatre-based, he will be more inclined to “watch,” and to be concen- trated and obedient in his watching. The events I mention vacillated between instilling the condition of the one, only to trip it up by demands implied by the tradition of the other. This is not an accusation premised on an idea of media purity but, rather, awareness of the fact that the temporal and attention claims of two arts, when flushed out- ward, can awkwardly back into each other. If this means, perhaps, that the new contexts have not had sufficient time to jell coherently, it follows, also, and absurdly, that the piece must flee HELP BUILD AND Mail to: CITIZEN EXCHANGE CORPS. 550 Fifth Ave. (Dept. N-7) New York City 10036 es 4 FIRS NL Ny, any thought of contexts, at least in sense that they may bind it in. Such, at any rate, is a major theme — of Allan Kaprow’s book. -Its short text commences only on page 146, behind a — great clump of photographs of happen- ings, and after it has been explained that the photos refer to their models, “but strangely, as would a movie taken _ of a dream, stopped at unexpected in- tervals.” The text itself has been subject to constant revisions, since first under- taken in 1959 (in explanation of his own activities), stopping only now, rather grandly, and in a form so permanent as to be untypical of the author. For this genealogist of changing spaces and for- mats, who briefly sketches their history in visual art, a book must have been a sorry compromise, whose advantage consisted only in its didacticism. The lat- ter appears in his explorations of what can be deduced, or made meaningfully hypothetical, from the pictorial direc- tions involved in “relinquishing the goal of picture making entirely by accepting the possibilities that lay in using a broken surface and a non-geometric field.” That is why Kaprow can imagine the duration of an “event” as being theoretically with- out limit—occurring over years or life- times (and discontinuously within them), and it is the cause, too, of his suggestion that an artistic action can be performed intercontinentally, infra-privately or, for that matter, in thought alone. Because of this immense and astonishing idea that the dimension of a “work of art” can be so elastic or omnipresent (viz., Early Bird television satellite), Kaprow parts ways with the Dada manifestations that other- wise would have been his normal point of departure. Neither politically moti- vated nor philosophically alienated, as they were, he conjures scenarios (by what means we shall see in a moment), quite in advance of seeing in them any intelligible program of content. That he is able to read this development out of — the history of modern art does not pre- — vent him from being, perhaps unwitting- ly, hostile to its overall tenets. This eminently logical, articulate and ~ practical man does not hesitate to call — into question principles which have long ~ safeguarded the informational and com- ~ municative basis of art. Thus, the no- ~ tion that a work of art is created by — one man (or is overseered by him), that — he is in willful control of what he does, — his craftsmanly execution commensurate __ with his intention, that his work is meant © to be embodied in permanent form, are ~ conditions which Kaprow considers dis- — pensable. He was willing to sacrifice all these as it “became necessary as means . were sought to adequately embody those — subtle and spontaneous feelings and re- — THE NATION / July 3, 1967 ’ (Italics mine.) It might be that change has always been a ominent theme of art, but here there is no inhibition against thinking of it as actual. Suggesting a ‘“form-principle _ for an art which is never finished”— “something to be renewed in different forms like fine cooking or the seasonal _ changes, which we do not put into cur pockets, but- need, nevertheless’— _ Kaprow’s perspective is far superior to di _ the merely topical references of a throw- away technological culture. Nature, the _ weather, above all, other people, may alter or reapportion the artist’s materi- als as he himself has been willing to see fit, or to take in as a bonus surprise. “Using an extreme logic,” he says, “this could imply that anything may be art and anyone may be an artist, but in _ plain fact it only extends the right of sensitive perception and creative activity _ to those who wish to respond appropri- _ ately, and artists usually proffer this invitation with discretion.” But if chance, in many cases, is too un- cooperative or indeterminate an action, _ Kaprow, going further, says: “Chance by- _ passes failure by building non-control _ into the work as a desideratum.” Aban- _ doning order on a manipulatively con- scious level, the idea has been to sub- _ Stitute for it a completely arbitrary and _ external kind of order. With all the dice throwing and number gambling that Kaprow argues for, following John Cage, under whom he once studied, I am out of sympathy. What can be stated most positively in its defense, that it brings with it something previously unknown at its every turn, is outweighed by its _ extreme deficiencies in effectiveness, and _ something more, I think—its — _ Sophical facetiousness.

Having been cordially greet- _ ed by the press, it was brought to the _ small Fortune Theatre in the capital where it has been playing to packed _ houses since its opening last winter. __ The success is something of a phe- -momenon, for Arbuzov has written a Biche, sentimental play of young folk THE NATION / July 3, 1967 as st vere the iwing expression philo-> tence, by programing it on a system to which one is completely indifferent? (Further, if one chance system is favored because it tends to produce more inter- esting results, then it is not so chancy.) Even more, if one alternative, theoretical- ly speaking, is just as good as another, then what you are doing ceases to have any evaluational density, any moral charge, and undermines the point (the claim that it is “our need for discovery or risk”) of doing it in the first place. In addition, the deliberately nonorganic quality in the relationship between cause of action and the nature of material, creates far more difficulties of compre- hension than it elicits scenes of wonder. I may be willing to undergo the trials of an extremely antagonistic, disrespect- ful artistic vision if it is made evident to me that there are eventually substances or sensations upon which I can work; but in this aesthetic, substance can just as easily evaporate as it may randomly and evanescently fall into some satisfying pattern. At such a moment, I am not prepared to be fulfilled merely by the “spirit” of accident. The literalness of the objects or events does not com- pensate for the intangibility of the art. But then, literalness is inimical to the allusiveness and metaphor by which synesthesia has always been constrained to operate in the past. To overstep them is only to court the documenary or the trivial. Still and all, it is hard to be ungrate- ful to Kaprow’s rigor, or to be unadmir- ing even, or especially when, he himself is aware of the distance he has traveled toward impasse and impossibility. With- out the sense of this impasse, and the pressures he and many others put upon them, our options would be far fewer. and the dialogue in our aesthetic life considerably less rich. THEATRE IN EUROPE II in the midst of the siege of Leningrad, of friendship born from shared hard- ship, of true love, of self-abnegation, of the stirring of conscience to renewed and ever finer effort. There is something dubious about every one of the play’s moves; nothing is wholly convincing. Yet it is a popular and critical hit. While it is true that geniality is al- ways a favored ingredient in show busi- ness, there are two aspects (besides a pleasing cast) that explain the play’s ap- peal to its London audience. It is both serious and affirmative. The more high- ly regarded of the new plays London y has been seeing for the past ten years have been bitter, and made even more acrid by their humorous garb. They have jeered at existence. In typical Soviet fashion, The Promise is bracing. One senses a kind of benevolent collu- sion between playwright and public. The English audience, sufficiently de- pressed by both fact and fiction, wants bolstering. The play provides a “lift.” Then too the play gives evidence of self-criticism; it is critical of the trend of Soviet life. That strikes the English as a sign of progress in the Socialist state with which the English people, more than we, hanker for an entente. Through its thin garment of humble heroics, comradely good nature and ~ manly resolve, the play suggests that the mood of idealistic struggle of the war days has since given way to a rather slothful acceptance of petty bourgeois mediocrity. In The Promise Arbuzov mildly urges the Soviet folk to recover the hardy aspiration of the period in which their nation’s very existence was threatened. This may to an extent ap- ply to England itself. The acting is nice and very English.

PAUL BLACKBURN Juliet at the Old Vic) is particularly good in the third act in which the be- draggled waif of the first act has be- come a dignified doctor and wife. In the earlier scenes Miss Dench forces her youthfully eager impetus too much. Still I could not help noticing that the more heartily Russian the male actors try to be the more British “boy scout” and slightly camp they seem to become. I make this perhaps ungracious com- ment because it is reported that while Miss Dench will not be present when the play comes to Broadway, the two men are to be. Since the question of English actors on our stage has recently become a matter of some controversy, I feel obliged to assert that if ever English actors were mot needed for the proper presentation of a play among us, The Promise is a case in point. Paris has its three subsidized (national) theatres: the venerable Comé- die Francaise, the more adventurous Théatre de France (Jean Louis Bar- Tault’s company) and the Théatre Na- tional Populaire now under the guidance of an excellent actor, Georges Wilson. In these theatres (and during the spring months), with the festival visits of for- eign troupes which are collectively ad- vertised as the Théatre des Nations, worthy productions of interesting plays may be enjoyed. At the Comédie Francaise, to cite one instance, a new production of Moliére’s Dom Juan has aroused considerable in- terest: applause from the progressive forces, condemnation from the tradi- tionalists. Both factions seem to me misguided but the play itself merits consideration. It is much less frequently given than any of Moliére’s other plays because it isn’t, and is hardly intended to be, particularly funny. It verges on anger. While Moliére is passionately on the side of the angels, the play in its time, and to some degree even today, affronts both the respectable (conservative) members of society and the cynics. For Dom Ju- 30 an’s lack of hypocrisy, his witty defense of profligacy and his even bolder defi- ance of moral and religious strictures are stated with such splendid candor that he engages our sympathy. It is perhaps significant that Moliére makes Sgnarelle—an intimidated. valet, almost a “slave’—the spokesman for virtue. When he asks his master what he believes in, Dom Juan replies: “I be- lieve that two and two make four and four and four are eight,” to which the bondsman retorts, “Your religion, I see, is arithmetic.” The rejoinder has a pe- culiarly contemporary ring. The Moliére revival has been staged by a director associated with the more forward looking wing of the Parisian profession. But the French theatrical avant-garde is hardly the counterpart of that in Eastern Europe. In this respect, Dom Juan is an example of the slow pace and feeble accomplishment of the stage in Paris today. The settings for Dom Juan, prettified “Noguchi” without that artist’s originali- ty, are bronzed abstract shapes. A warm amber light plays on them, adding a glamour that negates the severity I as- sume their menacing contours are in- tended to convey. The costumes worn by the principal characters resemble blue patent leather space suits. One wonders how they are related to the text—except as they differ from the routine dress we are accustomed: to see at the Comédie Francaise. Is it possible that the director wishes to imply that space men are the aristocrats of our time? The staging too attempts to strike a “modern” note by having several scenes played in semi-obscurity with the actors placed at a considerable distance up- stage, their backs turned to the audience. Though proficient, the acting reveals nothing new, relying as it does on well- articulated and energetic speech in the best conservatory manner. Apart from the vogue of Pinter, Osborne and Albee, the will to bring a draft of fresh air onto the now languish- ing French stage is observed in the care- fully designed nonrealistic settings em- ployed in such productions as those of Arrabal’s The Architect and the Em- peror and Pirandello’s To Find Oneself. Arrabal, a Spaniard by the Seine, is thought to be sounding a chord of his own: ritualistic, improvisatory, lyrically vehement, anarchic, grotesquely and vio- lently comic. But I found little in The Architect and the Emperor, a symbolic two-character play, which does not de- rive from every one of the theatrical fauves or “wild men” from Jarry to Genet. The high point of Arrabal’s play ns re ae 1M re o> is ~ ; : a ¢ * ; , eit Che . 2 ‘is a scene in which the Acchitect, ie + Common Man Jost on a mythical planet) chops the Emperor (ruler of Civiliza- tion) to bits—and eats him. For all its gestures of total freedom and ferocious — playfulness, I see’in the play merely an- other specimen of the up-to-the-minute trite. The setting in straw is a good-looking but dramatically irrelevant object, while the acting is strenuous with a fire that sheds neither heat nor light. For all that, the play is one of the season’s hits. Pirandello’s To Find Oneself is a largely discursive rehash of the dra- matist’s everlasting theme that we have no stable identity—the illustration in this ‘case is effected in the person of a star actress—and that to find oneself one must create a superself through art. The play merits attention not so much because of its author’s eminence as be- cause it is the most meticulously mounted production in Paris. The costumes are stylishly handsome, the sets have a kind of metallic and silky Cecil Beaton chic, -and the performance as a whole is rather special. The acting, with only one ranting ex- ception, avoids “emotion” and is de- liberately reduced to a flat declarative ~statement the director mistakenly takes for either Stanislavsky simplicity or Brecht calm. As a contrast to most Parisian acting, the result is something of an innovation, though it so happens that Pirandello requires Italian flame and flare rather than dispassionate sobriety. Yet with an expert company in which Delphine Seyrig (the lady of Last Year in Marienbad), beautifully gowned, speaks in a white voice of muted resonance through a mask of suppressed fervor suggesting mystery, the evening makes an uncommon though ultimately boring impression. Another and far more modest play which has been gratefully welcomed is Romain Weingarten’s Summer at the Théatre de Poche, seating about 150 persons. It is a wispy little thing in which the characters are two cats (I’m not using slang) and two children, a brother and sister. It is whimsy, tender and touching to a degree. It evokes the poetry of young people’s loneliness, awakening desire, growth and the secret germination of nature. Like many such things, the play is prolonged beyond the point of pleasure: brevity is the soul of whimsy. Neither London with its numerous actors of genuine ability nor Paris with its remainders of former brilliance re- veals the kind of theatre excitement one finds in Prague and Berlin. Events in these cities will be discussed in the next two “installments” of this account.

Robert Bialek why U Thant withdrew London Dear Sirs: Your editorial statement (The Nation, June 19) that “the abrupt withdrawal of the UN forces gave Nasser the opportunity to precipitate the crisis’ would appear to be based on the picturesque simile coined by the British Foreign Secretary, Mr. Brown, in the House of Commons on May 31, and repeated by the Foreign Minister of Israel, Mr. Eban, to the Assembly on June 20: “It could not be right, when a fire is known to be imminent, to remove the fire brigade.” It may be useful, therefore, to take note of what was said by Secretary General U Thant on the latter occasion—after your state- ment was published—in condign refutation thereof and rebuke of its co-authors, if only to correct a false im- pression. U Thant told the Assembly that “unlike the UAR, which had agreed to UN troops forming a buffer on its side of the line, Israel had extended no such cooperation, despite the intent of the General Assembly resolution ten years ago. “Before receiving and replying to the UAR request for withdrawal of the UN force, he had raised with the Israeli UN delegate the possibility of stationing elements of the UN force on the Israeli side of the line, and was told that the idea was “completely unacceptable.” (Continued on page 52) 34 . tive to the creation of a Jewish state in the’ Middle East, — EDITORIALS Recalcitrant World The overwhelming influence of the two superpowers over the fate of small nations has been much deplored, not without reason. But from time to time a small nation seizes the opportunity to expose for all to see the limita- tions on the power of the great. Or, as in the recent in- conclusive voting in the UN General Assembly on the | Middle East problem, the small nations, though disagree- ~ ing among themselves, frustrate the superpowers so pain- — fully that one can almost forgive the latter for their mis- — guided policies. The prime example of a small nation humiliating a 7 large one is, of course, Vietnam vis-a-vis the United © States. True, the cost to the small country is appalling. © One has only to consider the ratio of North Vietnamese © and Vietcong dead to American and South Vietnamese 7} government losses, yet Americans are being shipped back 4 to the States in coffins at an annual rate of something ~ like 15,000, and the war drags on. Not all the power — | of the greatest military machine in all history is enough — to bring the Vietnamese to their knees. With each week of the excruciating spectacle the prestige of the United — States sinks a bit further, and the disgust of men of good — will mounts in proportion. Or take the efforts of the Soviet Union to equip the —} Arab world for its assault on Israel. The Soviet policy is — } not on the same level of iniquity as that of the United || States in Southeast Asia. The Soviets were at first recep- — and their alliance with the Arabs has the excuse of propin- quity. But the end result has been abject failure. The So- 5 viets could arm the Arabs but could not give them unity among themselves nor the ability to use modern arms to good effect. The Arabs served their patron quite as badly as the South Vietnamese generals have served the United ~ States. The Soviet effort to turn defeat into victory in the UN, — or at least to mitigate the debacle, is likewise a failure. © 1 Kosygin’s appeal to the Assembly merely emphasized the — Soviet discomfiture; if he had left the speechmaking to ~ Gromyko, the rebuff would have been less embarrassing, — Certainly the USSR is a superpower: its performance in i World War II, and its nuclear arsenal, can leave no doubt. _ But its diplomacy does not match its military prowess. | The last really brilliant Soviet diplomat was the first J foreign minister, Chicherin, who had served the Czar and 9 stayed on for the Bolsheviks. : Even the rightist press, however, cannot turn the So- viet defeat in the Assembly into an American victory. } Rallying its Latin American cohorts and anyone else it 9 could pull in, the United States did slightly better than — the Soviets, who never received more than 45 votes on { any paragraph of its own proposal. The Yugoslav draft, THE NATION / July 17, 1967 © h was the only real hope the Soviet bloc had, collected otes, with 46 against and 20 abstentions. The more sible Latin American draft, which linked Israel’s with- rawal to the end of the state of belligerency to which ‘the Arabs cling, was rejected, 57 to 43 with 20 absten- ‘tions. This was the motion the United States supported with every diplomatic resource and no doubt implied promises of reward and punishment—and it garnered 4 ' more votes than the Yugoslav proposal. Where do these events—in the Middle East, in Viet- 'mam, and at the UN—leave the superpowers? What ' emerges is that when the two great antagonists pursue t heir antagonism by all means short of nuclear war, they both lose. In one confrontation the Soviets may come out ahead, in another the United States, but in the end both cover themselves with shame. The great aggressors of the past could at least carve out world empires for themselves, but all the superpowers can achieve is chronic stalemate, with periodic threats of nuclear warfare which | may some day turn into the real thing. | This frustrating and dangerous immobility of the superpowers paralyzes the UN, but it would be a foolish exaggeration to say that the world organization has be- come useless. It did provide a means of ending the fight- ing at least some days sooner than would otherwise have _been possible. The UN role was much like that of the | referee in a prize fight where one man is decisively de- | feated and should be spared further punishment. Had it not been for the UN, the Israeli armies would probably | be in Amman, Damascus and Cairo. Second, the UN has provided a forum for debate in which the issues were | clarified for everyone who cared to listen. The fatal | weakness of the Arab case was that the leaders in Damas- us and Cairo had vowed to drive Israel into the sea, and ‘still will not give up their stand of perpetual belligerency. Some of Abba Eban’s arguments were as specious as those of any other foreign minister, but the essential reasonableness of the Israeli position emerged from the debates. Before there was a United Nations (and the earlier League of Nations), humanity had no such instru- ment of elucidation. The UN is the creation of nations try ing desperately, and with no assurance of success, to avert nuclear extermination by discussion and diplomacy. : _-It will never be more than that as long as the world is | divided into three camps—the American, the Soviet, and th (ose who occupy a precarious position in between. The UN can play a larger role, and the world can breathe More easily, only when the superpowers decide to co- operate, for the most part, instead of remaining frozen in antagonism. This was shown in the Glassboro meet- | ings. Little enough was accomplished, as far as the world | was told, in the Johnson-Kosygin confrontations, but the mere fact that they came together to talk inspired hope —not least among the American people. It was a slight indication of what could be accomplished if the super- ov ers would cease their posturing and engage in a tructive dialogue.

Combined with FRONTIER Was This Violence Necessary? Los Angeles The scene on June 23 was pure Hollywood, and the action occurred appropriately on the old Twentieth Cen- tury Fox movie lot, whose vast acreage is now the setting for Century City, the biggest planned complex of luxury office buildings, shopping centers and apartment houses in America. The backdrop was the crescent-shaped, block-long Century Plaza Hotel, where deep inside, the President of the United States dined with 1,000 guests at a $500-a-plate political fund-raising dinner. On the parkway facing the crowd of spectators were a tangle of TV cameras and clots of news reporters. Uni- formed, white-helmeted police, 1,300 of them, were every- where—on foot and roaring about on motorcycles and in siren-screaming squad cars. Early in the day, they had cordoned off a four-block area surrounding the hotel. Plain-clothes police mingled with the crowd, relaying in- formation to various police “command posts.” The parade of demonstrators against the war in Viet- nam, which had assembled in a park playground a few blocks away, started to empty slowly into the Century Plaza area about 7:30 P.M. Instead of moving past the hotel, the leading contingent stopped, and thousands of marchers, following behind, gradually filled half the six- lane avenue for two and a half blocks. The police parade permit, and a quickie court injunction issued only hours earlier, had required the parade not to pause at the hotel, but it was highly doubtful that most of the marchers were aware of this stipulation. Parade monitors urged people to keep moving, but their instructions could not be widely heard in the hubbub. At this point, the atmosphere was reminiscent of a Hollywood premiére, except for a small forest of picket signs, a few comparing President Johnson to Hitler. More typical were those reading, ‘“War is unhealthy for children and other living things.” Families with young children, some pushed in prams, were sprinkled through the crowd, predominantly middle class and white. As the jolly black-tie banquet got under way, a police captain outside stepped up to a loud-speaker system and ordered the crowd to disperse. Parade monitors tried, as they had before, to move the demonstrators along, but there was no perceptible movement. Afterward, many paraders insisted they had heard no warning. Thirty minutes passed, and then it was lights, camera, action, as though the scene had been thoroughly re- hearsed. A solid phalanx of police suddenly advanced into the mass of people, swinging night sticks as they reached the front lines, and turning a large part of the crowd back upon itself in panic. What had been an or- derly gathering turned into a stampede of frightened thou- sands. Motorcycle police drove a wedge into the center of the crowd, and officers on foot swarmed in to widen the gap and cut the demonstration in two. An officer of the American Civil Liberties Union who was on the march 36 trol in next year’s Presidential election. a 0 a said: “For the police, it was a safari. They were bottling people up and beating them. A dispersal could have been made without trouble.” His report could have been biased —he had been struck on the head by a police club. Was the police action necessary? One of the demon- | stration leaders put part of the blame on the “relative inexperience” of the organizers. “Our parade permit was totally inadequate, but we didn’t realize that,” he said. “We knew that some of the demonstrators planned to sit down, but we thought the parade would move around them, and they would be subject to arrest. We were not |} prepared for an attack by the police.” In the planning stage of the protest, wacky talk was heard of turning mice into the banquet room or setting off stink bombs in the} hotel. It was evident that some of the people involved, 7) especially the college youngsters, had no understanding |} of the tension that surrounds a visit of the President dur- ing a protest demonstration. They acted as though they | shad never heard of November 22, 1963, and Dallas. But) prior to the rush of the police against the crowd, there was no reported act of overt hostility directed against the or any move to approach the hotel. ¢ Chief of Police Tom Reddin said he ordered the dispersal solely for the “safety of the President of the United States during an extremely dangerous situation.” C.B.S. News suggested another reason by reporting rumors that the President had made it clear he did not want an unfriendly crowd near the hotel. It was hinted that they Secret Service passed the word on to the police. If this is true, it may pose an interesting problem of crowd con- Chief Reddin, as he deserted his “command post” and] } came into the street to congratulate his forces, said, “I think the message is out. Our city is not going to give in to lawbreakers.” As to the identity of the lawbreakers, Ds the American Civil Liberties Union offered a different) view: “What is clear beyond a shadow of a doubt is that the brutal conduct of the police in their method of dis-)} persing the alleged ‘illegal assembly’ was unwarranted, | unlawful, and a complete violation of the basic liberties) guaranteed by the Constitution.” . Hot Summers and Short Tempers The long hot summer, now at its zenith, has had only one accepted meaning in the American lexicon of politics. It is the time when disaffected Negroes take to the streets to burn and loot. It is the time when the police, and the National Guard when necessary, stand between the pil- lars of society and the ghetto rabble, which shows no gratitude for the goodies showered on it by Welfare and the Great Society. Further, according to the “right thinkers” of the middle class, law and order would not be thus flouted were it not for “outside agitators” who incite the no-good Negro poor to riot. (The most energeti¢ of these rabble rousers is, of course, Stokely Carmichael THE NATION / July 17, 1967 a ; m SUMMER SCHEDULE | During July and August, The Nation will appear on alternate weeks: forthcoming issues will be dated July 31, August 14 and August 28. H | : a. C | v ho, thanks to air travel, may pop up anywhere at any ti me to disturb the peace.) _ Sentiment in Congress to deal with this menace has been mounting to such a pitch that nearly 100 anti-riot bills have backed up in the House Judiciary Committee, | where Chairman Emanuel Celler stuck his hand in the dike to keep them from getting to the floor. However, i, after foretastes of the summer heat in Atlanta, Tampa, | Cincinnati, Buffalo, Boston and other cities, Mr. Celler a had to yield to the clamor. William C. Colmer of Missis- sippi, Chairman of the House Rules Committee, will bring @ out a bill if Celler doesn’t—and without a Celler amend- “ment to protect Negroes and other minority groups. ; The prospect is, then, for a bill that will make it a | federal crime to cross state lines with intent to “incite, | organize, promote or encourage” a riot. The penalties | ‘would be fines up to $10,000, or prison terms of up to | five years, or both. Tf all goes according to plan, the House will repeat its | performance in passing the flag-burning bill by a vote | of 385 to 16. For many Congressmen the twin occasions ® for parliamentary passion are Negro agitators and flag } burners, and in addressing their constituents they frequent- ly link the two as manifestations of a single Communist ; plot. When the flag-desecration bill was up for considera- | tion, Rep. Walter S. Baring (D., Nev.) called the flag | burners “dirty, long-haired, Communist-led beatniks.” Respect for Old Glory was upheld by another Southern Democrat, James A. Haley of Florida, who proposed | taking the miscreants 200 miles out in the ocean and |) sinking them with the anchor around their necks. “Let’s deal with these buzzards!” cried L. Mendel Rivers of South Carolina. It is safe to predict that they will be equally impassioned in dealing with anyone who urges the Negro to consider his grievances, and that they will be joined by the guardians of law and order from the North. | Of course there is always protection for the dissatisfied | and dissenting from the staunch exponent of freedom of i expression in the White House. But they had better not rely too much on support from that quarter, for there are signs that the long hot summer is fraying the Presi- dential nerves as well. Samuel Sharkey, Jr., of the Birming- ham News Washington staff, reports that at a meeting between Mr. Johnson and the AFL-CIO Building and ‘Construction Trades Council, the President complained E peace pickets in front of the White House. “It’s diffi- a now getting to the front gate without the dogs bark- ice, ” said the great defender of dissent. In a barely audible iiside he added, “I’m tired of them.” Let the agitators ‘and peaceniks take heed. i- THE NATION / July 17, 1967 Ghost Vote A new way to pervert the democratic process has been devised, or at any rate has just come to public notice. Elegant in its simplicity, it is essentially ballot-box stuff- ing on a grand and public scale, requiring no more than infinite gall on the part of the perpetrator. Students of political science—and political chicanery—have Rep. George P. Miller, a California Democrat, to thank for it. On the floor of the House late in June during a debate on the space agency’s budget, Miller falsified a teller vote in full view of his colleagues and of reporters in the press gallery. Perhaps this has been done many times before; perhaps not. This time, however, someone who saw it reported it in a newspaper the following day. Miller, chairman of the House Space Committee, was defending the NASA budget bill from an amendment which would require the agency to pay some attention to rudimentary safety precautions. The amendment was ‘offered by Rep. Donald Rumsfeld, an Illinois Republican who serves on Miller’s committee. A teller vote was called for. This is an evasive par- liamentary trick used to poll the House without placing individual members on the record; who, after all, wishes to be recorded as voting against safety for the astronauts? Under House rules, Rumsfeld and Miller were ap- pointed tellers. First those in favor trooped up the aisle between the two tellers as Rumsfeld counted and Miller watched (along with other witnesses on the floor and in the gallery). Rumsfeld was seen to count 88 members, and duly reported 88 ayes to the chair. Then came Miller’s turn. A press gallery observer counted 77 members as passing up the aisle, but Miller announced the count as 101. He was not challenged, and this artifice gave him the decision even though he lacked the actual votes. Rumsfeld was asked later if he had noticed the dis- crepancy. “Of course I did,” he replied, “but what should I have done, call him a liar?” The answer is, obviously, yes, but that is not how the game is played in Congress. There has never been a challenge to a teller vote, accord- ing to House Parliamentarian Lewis Deschler. Apparently a “gentlemen’s agreement” operates in such cases, making it difficult for the citizens to be properly represented by their Congressmen. This time, however, honesty won out—the same amendment came up again as part of a package and won handily on a roll-call vote. The Negro and Vietnam Since Martin Luther King’s assumption of leadership in a joint peace-civil rights movement, he has been singled out for a barrage of attacks, some snide, some vicious. The more virulent of these assaults, however, usually con- tain a mitigating clause: namely, that King is not quite as detestable as McKissick and Carmichael and those other fiends who describe Vietnam as a “war of color,” a “race war” and the like. Granting the courage and dedication 37 a ee SE ——————— eee of the leaders of this wing, one may feel that their rhetoric is a net contribution to the cause of those who oppose them. Seldom in history has flamboyant and careless exhortation advanced a good cause. If by a war of race is meant that we are in Vietnam because the Vietnamese (or the Chinese) have a different skin color, the charge falls of its own weight. General Maxwell Taylor is quite plausible when he says that we would fight “the fairest of the fair” if we thought they were “betraying” us by inaugurating a revolution of a type we did not approve. The real question is this: does the American Negro have good reason to feel that he is being victimized in this war? Rep. Augustus Hawkins of Southern California, himself a Negro, has done some research on the subject (Congressional Record—House, April 18, p. 4283). Sum- marized, his findings are: (1) The present draft boards are with few exceptions “small independent kingdoms” heavily weighted in favor of age, white skin and service in past wars. They operate with practically unfettered power and, as others than Mr. Hawkins have observed, with the utmost caprice and non-uniformity. (2) Because of educational discrimination and other disadvantages, only about half of the Negroes in the pre- ferred age group qualify for service, whereas three- quarters of the white youth are acceptable. But in the qualifying groups, only 5 per cent of the Negroes can obtain deferment as college students, whereas 95 per cent of the whites are so deferred. The result is an induc- tion rate for Negroes about twice as high as for eligible whites. Some time back, Mr. Johnson, “surprised” by sugges- tions that color might be a factor in the draft, asked the state governors to give him examples of discrimina- tion. He reported, proudly, that he had received only one such case. But the point, amply documented in the HATFIELD: THE OREGON ENIGMA ROBERT G. SHERRILL Mark O. Hatfield, 45, former Governor of Oregon and since January the junior Senator from that state (Wayne Morse is the senior Senator), has for seven years been regularly mentioned as a possible Vice Presidential candi- date on the Republican ticket. Among national strategists for the GOP he is chiefly valued—like Charles Percy and John Lindsay—as an available balance to a ticket that might be headed by a candidate such as Nixon or Reagan. Nobody, least of all Hatfield, expects the leaders to see him as possessing more ponderous potentialities before 1972, in which year he will still be young enough to sprint to the platform to make his acceptance speech. The Republican National Headquarters likes to describe 38 ~H. Purnell, The Nation, July 3.] They were lining up on j Hawkins report, is that discrimination is so massive, so 1 institutionalized, that individual complaints are really — 1 not relevant: a, Those who prefer white testimony on this point can | , find complete corroboration in The Economist, April 15, — | p. 255. One out of every 11 American men between the | ( ages of 19 and 29 is a Negro, but 2 out of every 11 of 7 the Army’s enlisted men killed in Vietnam up to the end of 1966 were Negroes. The Economist’s U.S. cor- / respondent goes on to point out that despite the discrimi- nation which remains, and the chance of being killed, military service is a refuge for many Negroes—their only escape from city slums or rural sharecropping. It offers three meals a day, clothing, medical care, a little spend- © ing money, and some fringe benefits—particularly the prestige of soldiering. Some whites regard this reconcilia- tion of some Negroes with the military services as progress, but in reality it is the most damning indictment — of all. To compound the irony, Dr. King will find it diffi- — cult to get Negroes to follow the banner he has raised because many are so desperate that they are willing to fight—and to re-enlist—in considerable numbers. Of all — j the careers available to most Negroes, the Army is one Y of the few offering a measure of immediate improvement. Yet, in the long run, McKissick and Carmichael may i 9 prove to be prophets in some peripheral sense.

He has been in politics © —sometimes peering over the edge of national politics— since 1950. He nominated Nixon in 1960; he returned to ‘ the GOP convention four years later to deliver the key~_ note address, which he couched in such reasonable and | i moderate terms that the Goldwater galleries considered i] him an intruder.

Dh Hatfield progressed smoothly upward from the Oregon | | House (four years), into the state Senate (two years), J‘ THE NATION./ July 17, 1967 efly into the secretary of state’s office (two years), then becon ing Governor in 1958 at the age of 36, the youngest Dregonian ever to get there. He served in that office until, without missing a government payday,’ he moved last January into the U.S. Senate, where his national repu- tation to date hangs from two shining hooks: he is the ‘GOP’s most outspoken advocate of a halt to bombing of North Vietnam, of giving the problem to the United Nations, of turning Asia back to the Asians; and he is an eloquent challenger of that “tyranny in our midst” which President Johnson has created by “redefining our Constitution to deny us our liberty.” _ With these stands he has stirred much warmth among Democrats who value sanity over partisanship. Senators Lee Metcalf and Morse are two who have said they would vote Republican in 1968 if Hatfield were the party’s ‘Presidential candidate. This kind of discontent in the other party prompts Hatfield to predict “a greater hope for the GOP next year than in 1964 or 1966, greater also | than in 1960. One of the basic reasons is that in the | history of U.S. political systems, the outs have depended on the weakening of the majority party rather than on the strengthening of the minority party. Of course, you’ve got to do more than wait for their decline. You have to come up with something. To me, it’s an opportunity to espouse alternatives.” } sCiTrhere is not yet anything that could be called a ground | swell in his support, but each day he gets twenty to thirty requests to make speeches, and although his ap- ‘peal seems greatest among university and church organi- zations he has in the last couple of months addressed _ groups as various as a General Electric Co. seminar, the | National Manufacturers Association, the Daughters of the American Colonists, the Young Republican Club of Princeton, the Ripon Society, the National Agriculture “and Marketing Conference, the New York City Young Republicans (to receive their annual War Memorial Award), the University of California student body, the American Society of Newspaper Editors, the Southern Baptist Convention in Miami and the Yale Political Union. The Harvard Young Republicans, who a few days earlier had received Governor Romney very coolly, gave Hat- field a two-minute standing ovation. _ His impact on these groups has no point in common with the craggy cerebralism of Paul Douglas or the Steerage animalism of Lyndon Johnson; he strikes in- stead with the cock-sure decencies of a Calvinistic Re- publican who has never lost an election in a Democratic State. , Hatfield is a trim 6-footer with brown hair, pale green eyes and the kind of scrubbed, perfectly balanced features that recommend him to Oregon women’s groups; ‘A is grooming is fastidious almost to the point of being flashy. Some of his advisers wished he would dress a bit more like one of the boys when he campaigned in the ee mber camps of Oregon, but Hatfield stuck to his dapper athletic. He went out for rugby at Stanford University, but he is better at playing the clarinet. He is a good zardener and an expert canner of pickles.

Still—despite the fact that his career, like his looks, seems to have been programed through some All-Ameri- can IBM machine—there is a primitive excitement about his presence in Washington, as there always is when a talented fellow climbs out of the restricting furrows of state politics and onto the rich alluvial plain of national affairs, there to discover himself and what he can do. Nothing marks his new freedom better than his cam- paign for the Senate. His opponent was Rep. Robert Duncan, a tousled-haired, outgoing Scotsman, a_beer- drinking, snuff-dipping ex-gold-miner and, above every- thing else, a partisan of LBJ’s war in Southeast Asia. Duncan is, in short, just the opposite of Hatfield. In de- feating Duncan, Hatfield freed himself, at least momentar- ily, from most of the parochial criticism that has dragged upon his career for seventeen years—that he is too hand- some, too pious, too slippery on issues, and too. peaceful. Except for the complaints about Hatfield’s philosophi- cal elusiveness—which have some substance, and to which I shall return in a moment—these are plainly the gripes of the outs who cannot think of much to damn a man for except that he is in.
