Racial Changes Across The U.S.

By WILLIAM A.

LEAVING The ratio of Negroes to whites is declining In the southern Unlt-. ed States. Including North Car-

* olina.

, In racially-troubled Southern Africa, where whites are the minority, the reverse is true.^ The population ratio of nonwhites there is increasing.

A study of racial changes In U.S. metropolitan areas pub-' lished at the University of North Carolina shows that in the

* South. 50 of 77 metropolitan areas had a decrease in Negro population in relation'to total population. The study showed the greatest loss of Negroes w'as In less heavily populated South-

* em communities.

* In South Africa and Rhodes-

* la, however, it Is the whites who are leaving.

REASONS-There are differ-' ent reasons. In the U.S., the

* reasons are chiefly econwnic.

. Non-white population ratios are

* Increasing in northern and mid western U.S. cities. In Africa. the motivation for whites leaving the country apparently Is fear.

In some respects, however,

a comparison is interesting. Rhodesia, for example, has an Interest in racial developments in ihe Southern United States. This is evidenced by news reports published In African newspapers.

PICTUREA bl-llngual newspaper In Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia, recently published a picture of North Carolina Gov. Terry Sanford and a story about his administrations racial policy.

The picture was furnished by an old friend of Sanfords, Se-vy A. Carroll.

Carroll, former Fayetteville , attorney and State Senator, now publicity and promotitm director for the Methodist Church In Rhodesia, had the picture of Sanford hanging In his offtce. The newsiper. African Dally News, borrowed It to Illustrate a story about Sanfords calling for equal Job opportunities for Negroes.

CARROLD-CarroU achieved an ambition of long standing when he entered the foreign missions field and went to Af-. rica.

He had a great desire to go Into foreign missions for some years, and this reached a high ' point during a trip to South

population Both were bachelors at the time, but now both are married. Carroll and his wife, Virginia. are the parents of four, Carrie and Catherine, bom in North Carolina, and Wesley and Martha, bom in Africa.

Carroll writes that many of his colleagues in the state senate have made cwitributlons for various projects of the church in Southern Rhodesia, and that at least three of them mentioned the possibility of coming out here on a visit. He says Id be glad to take them camping in the elephant territory, where my work carries me often.

TENSEThe racial situation is tense and explosive all over Southern Africa.

Carroll compares the Sanford administration policy on employment with statements by the Rhodesian government and adds, aitually it will be a long time before the white government pays decent salaries to the Africans.

Many changes are taking place, and the situation is getting quite tense, Carroll says. He reports that Europeans are leaving the country at a net loss rate of about 40 a day.

It Is getting easier to get a parking place in Salisbury, and many people are selling everything they have for almost anything they can get and theyre leavliag. The reastm, of course, is that many of them expect the situatiai to become worse as time goes on. .

LEGALCarroll notes Interesting comparismis with the legal system and its many features which are different from those we have in Nwth Carolina.

One of the most shocking things to learn is that a whiteskinned person can obtain a trial by jury if he requests it, but an African cannot have a trial by jury.

Rhodesia and Nyasaland, nevertheless, apparently are pushing and promoting their ecwi-omy, and seeking to attract tourists.

Letters bear messages promoting the fishing in the Eastern districts, and colorful stamps show pictures of the cataract of Victoria Palls. One beautiful brown stamp displays a golden bundle of cured tobacco, a reminder that Rhodesia Is a leading competitor of North Carolina In producing tobacco.

initilly show how important a part it played in the political change which new has been broi}ght about in the Canadian government.

It is another Indication that the community of nations is constantly becoming a more closely knit group. What is done and said in one nation may have a profound effect in another, even in its domestic affairs.

By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP) Long after Sir Winston Churchill is gone men wl trudge around his memory, like scholars around a pyramid, wondering how he was put together. *

The ceremony for him Tuesday, giving him honorary American citizenship at 88, Is both a tribute to a man and recognition of a monument. The man and the monument were built out of many unhappy experiences.

Language was his magic cement.

His greatest triumph perhaps was within himself. For 65 years he searched for acceptance, starting when he was a clld. His father had little time for him and, apparently, small esteem. When he was 21 his father died.

Churchill regretted it for more reasons than one. Years later, looking back, he wrote that he had been eagerly awaiting the day when his father would accept him as an equal.

This quest for acceptance may explain much of his life; his brassiness, pushiness, endless airing of opinions, and his compulsion to dominate. They were tools he used to jimmy the door to distinction.

They (mly brought him disregard until under pressure of war the door opened and he became a cherished figure of history. His father would have had to accept him then, but probably with astonishment.

This was only one side of Churchill. While he thrilled to conflict, he loved life. This more than anything, made the contrast between him Mid Hitler look like the difference between a wolf and a shepherd.

Konrad Heiden, a biographer of Hitler but not an admirer of his sensitivity, said Der Fuehrer was a child of nature quite capable of frying a ch<) over a Stradivarious violin.

Edgar Black, one of Churchills biographers, said he scared his African guides when he went wandering around the Uganda lion country with a butterfly net. He loved butterflies.

Hitler went in for magic, astrology and quack doctors. One of his physicians said he aged rapidly after the war began. By the time HiUer at 56 killed himself in a Berlin bunker in 1945 he looked senile.

Churchill, too civilized for quacks or magic, grew hearty on war and late hours, and nearing 69, wanted to take part the Normandy Invasion. Only the king stopped him. He wasnt easily deterred in any direction.

He got a brain (xmcussioii^t 5 when he fell off a donkey. At 18 he fell 29 feet Into a ravine, ruptured a kidney, was unconscious three days and in bed three months.

He had pneumonia several times, suffered a bunch of bn*-en bones when a taxi hit him in 1932 In New York, and had a

hernia operation In 1947. A stroke hit him in 1950 and as-other in 1953. He bndce a hip in 1962 at 88.

When he got pneunumla In 1943, one of his doctors told him pneumonia is the '^<dd im&s friend because II take them off so easily. Jn his memoirs Churchill said I made a suitable reply. He didnt put it in print. .

It was (me of the comediee of history when Churchill, who tried to dominate all conversa^ ti(ms, complained that Roosevelt tried to dominate.

Roosevelt had reservaUons about the ideas which bubbled out of (ihurcbillhe said Winston had a hundred Ideas a day and about four are goodbut the ideas were part of his zeal.

Another bi(rapher. Robert Lewis Taylor, saw that same zeal when Churchill painted: A gigantic easel, a light blue smock, and a flapping beret the size of a small tent.

In the words-^~one of his friends: He was a hell of a sight, if you know what I mena.

ChurchUl, like his idol, Edward Giblxm, had a corapasr-slon for the loneliness of nouns and hardly ever let them go unescorted by an adjective. The nouns werent always prime and the adjectives werent always proper.

The British philosopher, C.E. M. Joad, summed up Churchill in a sentence: When the crisis came he turned out to be the average Englishman but the average Englishman raised to the nth degree.

EVER notice how new things have a peculiar way of attracting calamity?

Take for instance a friend who went last Sunday tor a visit for dinner with a family of friends-

For the trip, he d(mned his latest apparel purchase a swanky new pair of shoes.

Naturally, with new leather af(M)t, spirits were bright. Then after dinner when the sun suddenly scattered the overcast.

Other Editors Saying... Against Democracy

T

Opinions 'n Brief

Until now the legislature has given evidence of believing it can choose to do nothing about highway safety. This business is deadly serious, the option to do nothing ought to be dispensed with. Hertford County Herald.

At least a partial solution to the problems of unemployed youth, as well as problems of employers looking for skilled help, exists within our educational system. Greater emphasis on vocational and technical training for <hit young people is a challenge we cannot afford to neglect or minimize at national, state levels. Jackson (Miss.) Clarion-Ledger.

(Ridiiiumd Newe Leader)

The revolution in Argentina has pretty much petered out. Like last months more successful revolution in Guatemala, the Argentine revolt was a revolution against democracy. It was a protest against allowing the people to ch(X)sefor it was obvious that the masses would choose Peronism. Just as no man legally can (xmtract himself to slavery, no people have the right to choose tyranny.

The anti-democratic revolution is directed more against President Kennedy than against (jommunism. For Mr. Kennedy, with sociological presuipption, thinks that it is his mission to establish democracy, American style, in South America. But democracy is not an end in itself; it is a means to attain freedom, a method which will work In certain times and certain places. Under the present circumstances in South America, it is sometim possible to have more frecd<n mder a (Hie-man dictatorship than under the dictatorship of the people.

The population and culture of South America are not homogenous. In many countries, like Brazil and Guatemala, there is a small, civilized minority of mixed racial strains, usually European. But there is also an uncivilized and uneducated pear santry of Indian and mestizo background. It Is ridiculous to assume that these people, who always have lived In subsistence poverty and never tasted true freedom, would be able to understand what freedom means to the civilized man. The shoeless ones see no harm in voting away what they never knew; and they do not have the education to see through the false promise of the Socialist or CiMiununist, the self-awx>int-ed leader of the peasants.

In the United States, democracy has worired reasonably well as a means to guarantee freedom of the Individual and the Individuals property.

Democracy In the U.S. la severely liniited, both as to the number and kinds oi questions submitted to the people; even so, it will work (Hi^ in a clearly defined group of voters who share common ethical, cultural, and material interests.

But In South America, It is better to keep a civilized and progressive rntnority free than to allow the backward and illiterate to swamp national development by sheer numbers. The . S. believes that the creative power of the private Individual is the way to progress. The poverty of South America, a continent teeming with raw materials, is largely the fault of a stagnant tradition of central planning, left over from colonial times. If the illiterate masses are ever to be relieved of their terrible poverty, the private initiative of the civilized few must be encouraged.

An alliance for real progress would not confiscate the large pools of capital already collected by private individuals in Latin America; it would at-temi^ to guu:Mitee the stability necessary to take that capital savings out of Swiss banks and invest it in South America instead. An alliance for real progress would not intensify the stagnation already caused by central planning and taxa^ ti(Mi. It would encourage individuals to solve Uie food problem with Investments in large scale, efficient farming methods, rather than industrial showplaces. The failure of socialism to handle the agricultural problem has been shown both in the U. S. and In Soviet Russia; South Americas most crying need, then, is completely to reverse the current disasr trous dlrectl(xi uf centrally planned land reform.

Until people are fed and educated, democracy Is the tool of tyranny. Intelligent South Americans will continue the fight to limit political power to the civilized mlnorty. There will be yet more revolutions against democracy.

feelings leaped still higher.

And this friend was bent on taking a Sunday aftenwx cruise around tovm befora returning to his usual castle.

So the tour.

And In the process, be and family discovered several new streetssome of whlcdi remain unpaved.

What with the nlght-bef<Me rains, most of, the roads were muddily slippery. The friend (to-cided of a sudden that perhaps the family car would fare better on paved ground.

So he ciMmeded carefully onto one last stretch of unpaving. This particular erne was unmarked with tire tracks.and looked remarkably snuwth. And the even black-top lay straight ahead.

But as the friends czt and family moved carefully onto the last mile of mud, the whole shebang mired to a painful stop.

Spcmtaneously, the friend opened the door and with new shoes stepped, shin-deep, into the mire.

BUT he was not alone In his new-apparel woes during tha weekend.

Another friend had been persuaded mortgage the next few paydays for a new suit. He, too, experienced that subtle uplift of spirit when he stepped into the light-colored spring suit lor a Saturday night outing.

The festivities included a buffet dinner. And there was roast beef with all the trimmings. T1 tossed salad was garbed In a dressing abundantly supplied with may(xmalse.

And early in the evening, this other spirited irtend was carving away at the roast beef when he struck a gristle or something.

With an attempted graceful (but forceful) maneuver with the knife, this character sawed vigorously Into the stubborn por-tkm.

But the knife, fork and everything else slipped violently.

In that instant the entire portion of juicy tossed salad landed with a spread-out splat In the lap of the bright, new suit.

THOSE two friends may agree that rainy days indeed come in bunches.

Taxes Up For Grabs?

By JOHN CHAMBERLAIN Copyright. 1963, King Features Syndicate, Inc.

If you listen to the suspicions of a few realistic Senators Richard Russell of Georgia is one exanu>le you come away with the idea that fifty hungry State governors are jmt waiting to snw) up any loose tax cut money which Congress may permit the Ameri(iMi people to keep. And anything tint the fifty governors may chance to overlook. tin mayors of umpteen U. S. cities will be most hap- py to accept. The lo<l wolves in City Hall and In the governors maasi(xis all have tbelr hanging out Waiting for rejects from the federal table.

WeU, Isnt that the way wo high-minded partisans of states Tights sod local Initiative would have itt Hero wo have been preaching (ht shears that the Federal govenmoent has been grabbing tsx money that should be going directly to tho grassroots communities. By coltect-Ing taxes for themselves, ws have argued, the localities would be sure to get the cash witll-out having to relinquish a portion of It to support the Wasb-tngtwi bureaucracy as It draws the dough in from the states and then passes a diminished Part of it back in the form ol federal aid to this and that.

The only practical trouble with looking at things this way Is that the American people are tired of paying big taxes to anybody, perio(L Sure, the villages and the towns and the states have been starved by Washington for tax m<mey sources. Sure,

It would be better for eduqar tion and urban renewal and four-lane througbways if the ccmtrol of the same by fiscal means could be kept out of the bands of Washington and restored to the localities. But political theory to one side. It kt just as much a wrench to the pocket-book when a mayor takes your nuey as when it goes to feed Mort CMjUns Insatiable Internal Revenue Service suction pump. _ ......

The truth would sem to b

when almost a third of the annual Income of a people is h#ing seized by governments (rf all types, it renders a man al-mosl completely losensitlve to nice distinctions In political pbll-os(K>hy. Is local control better than centralizaticm? The answer to that one is what difference does it make when the guy wants to milk you dry. Does it matter what the hijacker's ad-dress is when he is (dobbering you on the head?

Even now, the local locusts are busy anticipating any and all tax relief that Washington Is supposedly ready to grant. Indeed, the wails are loud In the land that what the federal government is prepared to yield is already going into other suction pumps.

In New York Qty. for example. it is as good as settled as I write these linee that there will be an increase In the local sales tax from three to four per cent. MoreovM, a tax on com-nrclal rent payers In N e,w York is In the works.

I happened to be in the Empire State Building (tffice of a prominent research outfit when news oi the prospective commercial rent tax was released. The language of the research outfits president Included s(ne epithets which I had never heard before. You know what this tax means to us, he said In one of his less choleric Interludes. It means we shell out a hundred

extra bucks a numth. And whal do I get for it? I might just as well transfer my business to Princeton. New Jersey, where I can Uve In nice surroundings,^ In another office on that Sams day I listened to the story of a foresighted man who had already moved his business premises to the New Jersey caid of the George Washington Bridge.

So It goes when the local locusts take over from the federal locusts. But there is some balm In it. After all, there Is dignity In knowing you have a choice between In-town and out-of-town shopping. And the research outfit <n really move to Prince-tim when Its Empire State Building lease Is up.

Rrofits Held Despite 1962 Dip

Strength For Today

Bv EARL L. D0UGI.AS8 THE SUPREME MOTIVE In the final analysis, there Is no real virtue except disinterested virtue. If we do a good thing because of some gain that wlU accrue to us, then the good thing we do loses Its true moral value. It is (ily when we do good because good needs to be done, it Is only when we help the needy because they are in need and our hearts are full of pity for them, that our acts have value in Gods sight.

The 25th chapter of Matthew gives the picture of that final judgment which shall come up-(wi mankind (i the last day. Jesus declared that the people on his right hand had ministered to him because they ministered to the hungry, the thirsty, the forgotten, the poor, the outcast. What possible reward could fol

low such service? None, a(xx>rd-ing to worldly standanls. And the people who performed these good services performed them without the least expectation or desire of reward. They had encountered pe<H>le In need who could never repay them i<r tbelr goodness or return favor for favor. They had helped these people simply because they were in need.

This parable was our Lords way of saying that good acts are not enough they must have behind them good motives. And the supreme motive behind any good act is the motive of love. If the motive Is gain, ov glory, or personal reward, the moral value of the act vanishes.

We need constantly to remind ourselves that virtue Is only vlr-ttie when II la disinterested virtue.

ly a few industrial groups showed a decline. Fifty-four fire and casualty Insurance companies showed a drop of 18 per cent; 78 iron and steel firms showed a drop of 15 per cent; 54 Mnuse-ment companies and 32 restaurant and hotel corporations showed declines of 4 per cent. In printing and publishing, 92 corporations earned 3 per cent less than In 1981; 47 rubber and allied products companies showed a 2 per cent drop.

One per cent losses were shown by 23 paint and alUed products corporatliMis and 21 cement corporati(Hifi. And 6,050 banks, not Included In the total corporations, had a 1 per cent decline.

Black Monday came ( May 29, last year. Stocks dived then went up and down until late in the year when they steadied and began a moderate rise.

But industrial earnings, on which the prices of stocks are or should be based, rose handsomely. A total of 3.831 leading corporations earned $23,948,867,-000 last year, a rise (tf 13 per cent over the $21.194.637,000 netted after taxes in 1961. These figures are drawn from the First National City Banks annual survey of corporate earnings.

Sixty - two was not a comfortable year. In addition to tho Black M(mday stock toboggan, there was a deeper but less precipitate dip in the fall, and It was not until November that things began to improve. The situation .so frightened J<An P. Kennedy'that he embarked on his tax-<nit VMiture, and both

companies, up a handy 66 per cent.

SUBSTANTIAL GAINS

Other big increases: 27 shoe and leather companies. 84 per

cent; 47 auto parts. 59 per cent; 13 auto and truck corporations, 54 per cent; 49 class I railroads, 49 per cent; 64 real estate corporations, 47 per cent; and 54 farm, construction and material-handling equipment corportr tions, 41 per cent.

There were many more gains, ranging from 2 per cent by 15 tobacco companies to 29 per cent by 28 constructl(m outfits.

Those are substantial gahis as was Indeed the 13 per cent rise in profits earned by the almost 4,(KX) corporations.

It is Interesting to speculile on what pn^ would have been had it been a good year or at least one good enough not to frighten the President with spectres of a recession.
