Way back In 1940 a New York Worlds Fair opened in a world which was really rather uncomplicated by today*! standards. ~ ^ _

To be sure there were War clouds over Europe, but then there were always war clouds over Europe. The nation had just emerged from shattering de

peace.

Television, which was merely demonstrated in 1940 is now a part of every home and indeed, plays an important part in keeping order at this new world's fair.

The Worlds Fair of 1940 held hope for a nation w'hich had had little to cheer about over the past decade. It depicted the world as it would be in the future. There was something called television, for instance.'This marvellous device added a picture on A tiny icreen tO-tha-aouBd^wblehr

Magic Number

LAKE For Dr. I. Beverly Lake, the magie number Is 76,228. And making it U the goal of the 1964 Lake campaign manager, Alien BaUej. It represents the margin of votes by which E>r. Lake loot the second primary of i960 to Terry Sanford.

Lake strategists believe that making up that margin this time will mean victory for their man possibly even nomination In the first primary on May 30.

And. says Bailey confidently, were going to make It.

Were really rolling now and gaining tremendously," Bailey says. Things are looking very very good. He cites evidence of growing Lake strength In recent days and It Is even cwi-ceded privately In camps of other major Democratic candidates that Lake support Is picking up.

have made no claims about relative strength thus far. Candidate L. Richardson Preyer IHWiicted a first primary victory at his kick-off rally In Oreeosboro several months ago. More recently candidate Dan K. Moore claimed indications that he was In the lead.

The fact Is that most political observers foresee a closer *prft% between the three major candidates this time, than In the first primary o 1960, with almost unanlm o u s agreement that a run-(rfi will be necessary.

It Is also the consensus view that Preyer. who stands to get

being either eliminated or consolidated brought to more than 500 the number of installations so far effected by the economy drive. These are located in communities throughout the nation, and there are certain to be protests that the resulting loss of jobs or assignment of military personnel wdll be deter-mental to the communities as well as to the military posture of the nation. _ ,

Whats more, the Secretaj^y of Defense made it^ clear last week that the economy moves in his department are not yet completed. He pointed out Bv ART BUCHWALD

that as a taxpayer and a citizenas well as an officialhe felt obligated to eliminate other inefficient operations wdthin the military establishment or bring them into efficient operation.

The hard-nosed business approach Secretary McNamara haa brought to his job as Secretary of Defense is unique. He has been able to overcome

Ever since President de Gaulle recognized the independence of Algeria, North African Moslems have been moving into France by the thousands in search at jobs. The influx has become so burdensome to the French ecaiomy that Paris has had to apply a quota system^ to the number of Algerians that It la willing to acc^ each month. Thus freedom loses another battle. If the right to move^ l still considered a freedom in these days when Humpty Dumpty Is revered as a greater auth<H-i-ty on the dictionary than Noah Webster.

the figures of I960.

There has been belief that a great deal of the 275,905 Lake vote total In the 1960 aecond primary represents a core of Lake stren^h. Tbi goal has been to add to It. Bailey and other Lake strategists feel It can be drnie.

For example, they point out that Lake outgalned Sanford In picking up votes between the first and second primaries In 1960, Lake gained 94.212 votes and Sanford gained 82,670.

Sanford polled 269,463 votes tn the first primary with Lake getting 181.692. Malcolm Sea-well received 101,148 and John XarkIsMW,757 for a total of 201,905. Mgum for the second primary were Sanford 852,133 and Lake 275,905.

STRENGTH - Lake strategists believe that if Lakes 275.905 second primary total is firm, his position Is the most favorable of any of the 1964 primary candidates.

Bailey, for example, does not count a first primary victory out of the realm of possibility on grounds that anyone who approaches 350,000 first primary votes has a good chance for a .clear margin over the field. Most predlctiws peg the first primary vote total In the Democratic columns at approximately 700,000.

Nevertheless the Lake people

her -or -at least -65e,4m^vo4rs"^ claim a clear victory. Otherwise, the runnerup may demand a nin-(rff.

This would be a second election held four weeks later with only two men. the first and second highest, on the balled.

In I960, there were four so-called major candidates In the first primary. This time there are wily three "major candidates but there is a total of six on the ballot three of them not regarded as serimis contenders but who dout^less will get a scattering of votes, perhaps enough to maker certain that no one gets a clear first primary margin.

Several thousand more students will view the same discussion next fall on videotape, via an ll-college Texas network. the nation's first ETV network dedicated solely to campus Instruction.

Tennesseans in the Nashville area study Art and Ideas in a series taught by a faculty member from Middle Tennessee State College. Originally intended as in-service training for teachers, the programs generated sufficient public inter-e.st that they have been included In the evening telecast sche ule.

Nurses In South Carolina and Alabama study refresher courses over ETV networks in their respective states. And capable high school students in central North Carolina are learning college algebra from a North Carolina State professor. teaching over ETV station WUNC.

Medical consultations and conferences between physicians In Jacksonville and faculty member of the University of Floridas Medical Center are carried via two - way microwave between Jacksonville's Channel 7 and the Universitys Channel 5.

This i.s a random sarfTpling of the varied educational exper-' lences coming to Southerners of all ages and Interests as educationai tek*vilorr comes' Sf age in the region of Its beginnings.

Several ETV staiions over the region are using some of

their summer program hours for preparatory and remedial courses for entering college freshmen.

The South led the way 10 years ago in the XTV field, with the nations first station at the University of Houston

and the firsL-jtate-ETV net-

work in Alabama. Since then, STteievtsTon "stations have been constructed and six more will opi>n In the PaU of 1964.

More facilities are on the way. North Carolina ha.s plans for 10 new stations and channels and Florida Is adding sLx. new stations to the six now tn operation.

With much of the ground work behind, the challenge to ETV is to keep improving the quality of its programs.

One faculty members who has successfully employed television in teaching has observed that TV in the classroom can often ser^e its best purpose by bringing close to the student the unique, the undu-plicable. the far away, the rare. It is clearly not at its best in preserving or spreading mediocrity. We could flood our campuses-with TV overnight and it would not mean instant academic greatness. But it can help mightily In many ways.

Tla? Louisville Courier-Journal takes a look across the Ohio River at the Indiana presidential primary and assails the "con game of Alabamas Gov, deor^ Wallace.

The editorial notes that the governor says he W'ill consider it a victory if I get any votes at all. Says the Kentucky paper: He should be called on this sort of political con game. Realistically he should be expected to get at least as large a percentage of the total vote Irr Indiana as he did in Wisconsin that is. one-fourth of the total. Anything less than this should be interpreted as a setback for his segregationist cause.

Wallace chase his primaries carefully. In states with conservative or Maverick political traditions. Indiana is no excejv-tion. That is the governors right, however, and if he continues to get a large share of the vote, it will certainly have a political effect. Thase who do not agree with Wallace w'ould respect him more if he gave a clear statement of the Issues at hand, w'hich he does not do.

Here are the Courier-Journal examples:

Wallace told students at Butler University In Indianapolis (who applauded his statement: The government has enough to do without picking out

pledges for fraternities and sororities. The truth is the civil-rights bill would do nothing of the sort.

He asserted that the bill would enforce a racial balance in the public schools by requiring the transportation of public-school pupils back and forth across towm to effect it. The fact is the bill specifically prohibits federal action to achieve this end.

He felt the definite Implication that the bill would restrict a home-owners choice of buyers when he wants to sell his home. The truth is the bill does not involve housing.

Wallace also makes much of

turbulence, I would suggest everywie fasten their seat belts.

The passengers reverse themselves again and return to their seats.

Would you mind taking a picture for me? one of the passengers asks.

We hold his camera against the window and press the but-t(X1.

Did you get It?

How the hell do I know? we say honestly.

Word reaches the pilot that we will soon be passing over Oklahoma City and he Jnst canT Xeeirltto, Itffiself.

When the pUot Isnt informing us about geography, hes telling us what the weather Is like In Chicago. He also fills us In on his latest engine change, explaining why the motors will sound different. Then he tells us hes going up 5,000 feet to avoid a rainstorm. and 25 minutes later he Informs us they have hurricane warnings over Florida but, since were not going there, we have nothing to worry about.

For 45 minutes we hear nothing and we start to wor-r5'. We call over the stewardess and ask her, Is there anything WTong with the pilot?

Before she can go up front to check, hes back again.

Weve just passed over Lima, Ohio, he announces triumphantly.

We breathe a sigh of relief.

We guess its a good idea to keep everyone informed on how the pilots are flying the plane, but we cant help wishing for the good old days when they were busy up front with the stewardesses and left the passengers alcxie.

states rights and cries that the states should be left to solve racial problems with out federal interference. What he chooses to ignore is that Indiana has gone a Iwig way to-w'ards doing just that and has already enacted civil - rights legislation with teeth in It. He might be asked what progress Alabama has made on its owm initiative In this field, thus forfending the need for the federal intervention he so abhors.

Honest (VPoncnts of the civil rights bill exist, and they have raise legitimate questions about part of it. It is these legitimate differences of opinion and of legal Interpretation W'hich deserve the attention of the voters, not distortions such as GotTmor Wallace's,

There is a great sadness about all this, for if the world had only not hardied into an Ideological mold along toward the end of World War n Algerians would not now be dependent on getting out of their country in order to make a living. The real lack of flexl-IMllty In thinking came about when the liberals took over the Leninist theory that every little colonial area had to have a naUonal-cum-soclallst revolution of its own. We needed a Senator Pulbright a different sort of Pulbright, of course, one who could be really flexible to suggest back In 1945 that the problems of the backward areas might be solved by getting outside the standard formula for deoolon-lalizing a country.

In the case of Algeria, the French writer, Albert CSunus, had a third course Idea for French North African territory. As a native of Algeria. CaiB liwetH hto ortelnal hon^land. His pn^XMal was that Algerians, both Moslems and French colons, and the other for the original native North Africans. Each legislature would have been empowered to deal with subjects appropriate to Its own Interests. When common action, however, was Indicated, the two legislatures would have been called upon to thrash things out, much as the . 8. Senate and House of Representatives do when they meet In Joint committee for final caislderatlon of a bill. The Camus Idea would have given Moslems and French in North Africa the equivaleht of the old J^mC. Calhoun cwicurrent veto. And the two cwnmunitles. free to agree or disagree, would have remained constituent parts of metnnwlltan France, with all the economic benefits that such membership would have caiveyed to them.

Whether the Camus Idea would have worked U a ques-tiwi, of course. But It could hardly have been more disastrous to Individual Moslems in Algeria than the rule of Ben Bella.

In the case of U.S.-owned Puerto Rico, a third course has worked far better than any standard decolonializtion of that Spanish - speaking Island would have worked. W h 11 Haiti, W'hich has teen free ever since Napole<xiic times, la a prime example of what nationalist decolonization can do to wreck a country. Puerto Rico has prospered by seeking freedom under the U. S. flag.

If the Leninist stereotype had not been so compel 1 n g back in 1945, the various African nations might have taken the road of Puerto Rico. The capacious tent of federalism might have been extended to Include the Belgian Congo and Belgium itself in a pattern of freedom that would not have had, any of the drawbacks that a complete separation of the two countries en-taUed.

It is stUl not too late for the world to seek a third course for Portugals African colonies of Angola and Mozambique. If the UN would only take the Pulbright call for flexibility In thinking to Its heart.

It might bring acceptaWe

counsel to bear on Portugal that would end by giving Angola and Mozambique the benefits of freedom under federalism.

This doe.s not mean that we have to conipromlso ideals, but It does hican that all along the highways of life, we have to compromise on the matter of policy.

3. The advent of better weather will increase activities in outdoor work, notably road building and home building, providing more jobs.
