In Cyprus, Britain becomes increasingly involved in problems of enforcing order against rebellious elements. In Algeria, France confronts a similar challenge. In neither area does a victory over, the rebels appear any nearer. Meanwhile in both areas the hope of establishing conditions in which negotiations can take place becomes more remote. Murderous Cypriote terrorism is answered by British executions. Increased rebel forays in Algeria bring step-ups in French forces there, plus a statement by residing French Minister Robert Lacoste that the rebel objective is to bring foreign intervention. As one of France’s soundest and most-forward-looking North Afri can administrators, M. Lacoste deserves international attention. His words underscore a danger to Western positions throughout the Medi terranean area. But they also highlight a certain imaginativeness in rebel positions not only in Algeria but aso in Cyprus which needs to be matched in Paris and London. In both the French- and British-ruled territories the rebels de pend partly on their own violent effectiveness. But their long-run hope is pinned to trends in world opinion—or to divisions or mere confusions of thought—which often prevent “colonial” powers from winning the sympathetic hearing they desire either at home or abroad. In coupling Cyprus and Algeria we have no intention of making these crises look basically similar. They are not, except in the most general sense. In both cases, however, the ruling power pursues unwillingly but, as it feels, necessarily a policy of repression. The stated objective is to restore order so that negotiations with truly representative leaders can begin. Day by day this statement is shown to be insufficient. The failure of earlier negotiations brought on the strife. What is needed to help end it is a statement of some new outlook on the methods and objectives of negotiations. The objective needs to be briefly set forth, as “federation” for Algeria with France, for example, would be. And a new statement by London aiming to assuage Cypriote dissatisfaction with earlier British ideas for a Cypriote parliament might prove timely. It might help to do what the deportation of Archbishop Makarios has by no means accomplished. To stand off at three to five thousand miles and say these things is relatively easy. To formulate programs which appeal even to moder ate reform elements in disaffected territories while keeping a neces sary minimum of political support on the home front—this is much harder. Nevertheless, if developments in Cyprus and in Algeria maintain their present unfortunate direction, those who are having to apply force there may aiso be obliged to replan their political approaches. They may have to offer new hopes around which their friends, and the inbetweens, and even the more reasonable of their opponents can rally. George of Georgia The decision of Walter F. George not to seek a seventh term in the United States Senate carries national and international significance. It will take from the Senate its most influential member. It will take from the Eisenhower administration its wisest and most effective ally in the development of bipartisan foreign policy. It is good to learn that Mr. George expects to continue his service in the field of international cooperation as the President’s personal representative in the reshaping of NATO. But in all frankness it is unlikely that such work can reach the importance of the senator’s great service as leader of the powerful Foreign Relations Committee and of conservative Democrats in Congress. The cooperation Mr. George has given the Eisenhower administra tion as an opposition leader is often compared with that rendered by Senator Vandenberg to President Truman. It was less dramatic, for it involved no such break with past positions, but it was no less coura geous and possibly even better informed. And it carried the same high qualities of personal conviction and patriotism rising above petty partisanship. While much regret is rightly expressed over the gap Mr. George will leave in the Senate, the gloom should not be exaggerated. Lead ership of the Foreign Relations Committee will not fall into uncooper ative or uninformed hands. And some damage might have been done in the South to the cause of international cooperation if it had be come mixed up in a bitter battle in Georgia over segregation. former Governor Herman Talmadge, leading prospect as a suc cessor, is extreme on racial issues, but has support from some of the same business interests which backed Mr. George. He is now chal lenged, not by the senator in person, but by the example he leaves of able, broad-gauged service to the whole nation. French Author Describes Background of Montgomery What is the source of strength of the five-month old protest move ment against racial segregation on buses in Montgomery, Alabama? Why is it the best organized mass protest movement of Negroes the South has seen in generations? Can similar movements be expected to grow throughout the South? The answers to these and other questions about developments on the highly explosive civil rights front are indicated in a book now available in English for the first time. “Negroes on the March—A Frenchman’s Report on the American Negro Struggle,” is a translation of part of a much larger work en titled “Whither the American People?” by the noted author, Daniel Guerin. t Although written in 1949, the newly-published 192-page volume is as timely as this week’s newspaper. With remarkable insight Guerin was able then to describe the facts about Montgomery and Alabama which have recently proved so significant: For example, the importance of the Montgomery Negroes’ fight against the Alabama anti-labor boycott law in the bus segregation pro test may be better understood with this bit of background about the period in which the anti-boycott law was adopted: “The United Mine Workers was one of the exceptional AFL unions which from its inception took a liberal attitude toward Negro work ers. News From Around Nebraska Last Thursday Ainsworth staged its annual Spring Tea at which time all mothers of Seniors and the Senior girl graduates are honored. The affair was held in the Ainsworth City Hall and was carried out with an appropriate program and luncheon to honor the guests. The Ainsworth Star-Journal printed the pro gram in full last week. • * * Aurora, which has named itself the “Deepwell Irrigation Center of the Nation” has so much water that the Aurora Junior Chamber of Commerce is making an artificial lake in the City Park. The lake will be kept supplied by an irrigation well which is at the edge of the pond. Special colored lights are being in stalled to be played upon the water at night as it is pumped into the pond. A spillway will carry the overflow into a nearby creek. (Would that Blair could even get enough water for domestic uses!) • • • The Ogallala Boat Club isn’t planning any activities this sea son because of low water in Lake McConaughy, the Keith County News reported last week. The clubhouse will not be opened and there will be no fees charged for the 1956 season. Boat enthus iasts claim that facilities for getting boats in and out of the water easily are not existing at this time. • * • Central City is a possible location for a new Plastics industry, the Republican-Nonpareil reported last week. An inquiry and correspondence indicates Central City a likely location, the news paper stated. A * * Pawnee City, which has been having water troubles for some time, has just completed testing a new well 7*4 miles from the town. The well produced 224 gallons per minute which was less than desired, but it will provide for the present needs. A pipe line will be built to take the water to town, according to the Paw nee Republican. • • • Schuyler is considering a big expansion in its electric plant, the Schuyler Sun revealed last week. Under consideration is the installation of a 4000 KW turbine-type generator which, with other alterations, will cost $900,000. Engineers who have made a study of the plant’s business claim that the expenditure is warranted based on the present and past earnings of the plant. The contem plated expansion will provide sufficient current for the city un til 1964, the engineers have stated. • * • Onawa is asking for bids on a new swimming pool and bath house. The new project would be built on the fairgrounds north of the city, according to the Onawa Democrat. • * • Beaver City, on the other hand, has been calling for bids on a new pool and has received none, the Times-Tribune revealed last week. Apparanetly no contractor wants the job. * * * The Soil Conservation Service has revealed that over 38,000 trees were planted in Cedar County near Hartington this spring. Most of the trees were windbreaks and the varieties consisted of elms, pines and cedars, reported the Cedar County News. • • • The “Chadron State Stampede” is being made ready at Chad ron, the Record revealed last week. The “Stampede” is a class I rodeo with entries made from colleges over the nation. The Record stated that entries have been received from Colorado A & M, from Montana State College at Bozeman, from South Dakota State University and from the University of Wyoming. There is a girls’ division whcih is drawing entries, too. The affair will take place May 18 and 19th at the Fairgrounds at Chadron. A beauty queen, who must be able to ride, is to be selected. • • • A new 21-lot subdivision has just been laid out at Oakland and will be offered for sale soon, according to the Independent. The area, located east of the Oakland hospital, will have streets and all utilities installed and ready for prospective buyers. A series of main street improvements has been underlay for several weeks, too, which give the town a greaty improved appearance. * * * s In the Lyons, Nebraska park there is a “cemetery lot” which is reserved for victims of traffic accidents. The plot is divided into three sections—one for 1954—another for 1955 and the last for ’56. Last week the first cross was placed in the lot for 1956. Each cross represents a death in Burt County. Two are marked for 1954. There are five crosses for 1955 and the first for ’56 has been put into place. It is a very graphic reminder of traffic safety. May 27th Is Women's Day { At Corinth The Corinth Baptist Church, 3212 No. 24th St., Rev. J. Andrew Thompson, minister will observe Women’s Day Sunday, May 27. Services will be held at 11 a.m., 3:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. This is the first Women’s Day of the Corinth Baptist Church at its present location. Mrs. Mil burn Frampton is chairman and Mrs. Rosa Baker co-chairman of the Women’s Day Program. The public is invited to all of these services. Allen Minor Allen Minor, age about 48 years, of 3028 Pinkney Street, was killed Saturday evening May 12, when struck by two cars at 30th and Evans Street. Further notice later. , Myers Brothers Funeral Ser vice. “In Alabama, one of the vassal states of the Southern counter revolution, the union encountered some difficulty in securing a foot hold. During the 1908 strike, an employer-inspired ‘citizens commit tee’ advised the union that ‘the people of Alabama would never toler ate the organization and striking of Negroes along with white men.’ The fact that 76 percent of the strikers in 1920-21 were Negroes brought the rage of the U. S. Steel underlings to the boiling point.” Of particular current interest is Guerin’s almost prophetic ap preciation of the role of a man who has since become one of the out standing leaders and organizers of the Montgomery bus protest move ment. “Out of working class unionism,” he wrote, “emerged a new body of Negro leaders who found themseves simultaneously called to lead ing positions in labor and promoted to the rank of leaders in the Ne gro community. “A living example of this evolution was presented to me by E. D. Nixon of Montgomery, Ala., a vigorous colored union militant who was the leading spirit in his city both of the local union of Sleeping Car Porters and the local branch of the NAACP. What a difference from other branches of the Association.! Nixon has both feet on the ground. He is linked to the masses. He speaks their language. He has organized the work of defense with the precision and method of a trade unionist. Men like E. D. Nixon (to name only him) incar nate the alliance which has at last been consummated between the race and labor.” Guerin deals in a forthright fashion with the whole range of con troversial subjects covered by the titles of the two parts of the book: “America’s Biggest Scandal” and “Problems of Negro Emancipation.” In a new introduction written for the first English translation of “Negroes on the March,” the French author anticipates and answers in advance criticism for “meddling in American domestic affairs” and neglecting the crimes of French colonialism. He notes that he received such criticism in a letter from Atlanta, Georgia, when parts of this book appeared in issues of the Pittsburgh Courier from March 31 to April 28, 1951. “I should like here to reply,” Guerin says in the introduction, “that in the eyes of an internationalist, injustice has no fatherland; that injustice in Tunis or Saigon does not excuse injustice in Atlanta; that the present writer has publicly fought French imperialism for years, and has just devoted an entire book (Au Services des Colonises, 1930-1953.) to the denunciation of a collective crime which, as long as it is perpetuated on territory under French rule, will make him ashamed that he is French.” The American distributor for “Negroes on the March” is George L. Weissman, 325 East 17th Street, New York 3, N. Y. Fr. Flanagan Dead 8 Years Boys Town, Nebr.—A Solemn Requiem High Mass, commemor ating the 8th anniversary of the death of Msgr. Edward J.
