Racial violence in the United States points up the hardness of the color line that encircle* the globe. Relations between white* *nd nonwhites have assumed an ur¬ gency without parallel in history. A UN seminar on apartheid, racial discrimination, and colonial¬ ism just held at Kitwe, Zambia, pours no oil on these roiled waters. The United States and other Western nations were attacked at the conference by the Soviet Union and other Communist countries. An effort was made to include Israel also in the criticism. Observers at the UN were not surprised at the emotion engender¬ ed at the meeting. People who taste the bitterness of discrimina¬ tion are in no mood today for compromise.

Cleveland, Georgia AUG. 18 1967 The Yacketeur Yakt Dear Mister Editor: A great dream and a promise is in the process of ing true. Our school gym will be a reality. With the of this building other promises have been made to the of White County hy inference when the school officials made the ment that this gym “will be of the most functional education buildings in the state.” A political promise is a very pecular promise within itself. Like many others, it is made to broken. The people were promised this building at a cost of approxi¬ mately $125,000. Your paper stated the actual cost will be $225,000 not counting the cost of land prepara¬ tion. Why was this cost net in¬ cluded? This promise has taken the guise of inflation. We are pro¬ mised adequate physical education facilities for our young people. What guise will this promise take in the future? Will our children be allowed to use this building for their own improvement or will it be utilized only for the benefit of the coaches along with a chosen few? Physical education classes are somewhat of a joke in that adults do not practice what they preach. Sports are entertaining, physical exercise improving luoth mental and physical development. Will our children be barred from using (he gymnasium because our school officials prefer smooth and shining floors rather than a well rounded educational program for our child¬ ren? “It is the custom.” Yours truly, THE YACKETEUR Saw a young statuesque lady in Cleveland a day or so ago that would make you blow Yonah Moun¬ tain down. She had everything and wore a very, very tight fHfing shorts and graciously proved is when she walked along the street. You don’t encounter such enticing scenes often. Garnet make learning fun. This old adage is cropping up all over the educational scene. Business school students "play” the »tock market. Student investors look into “Monopoly.” In some instances game.- are carefully worked out with rules and regulations. In others, game, are made out of situations. This summer Arena Stage actors in Washington helped teachers learn to dramatize spelling, geo graphy, arid concepts in math. Children learning to spell “choco¬ late,” first tried to look like t he configuration of the word. Then they tried symbolizing the word by being a piece of chocolate thern s«lv*». Employment "Freeze Sen. John J. Williams (R) of Delaware looks for a "great wave of economy propaganda,” He expects it to start gushing out of administration information spigots soon to prepare the public for a tax increase. One more executive order freez¬ ing federal civilian employment at current levels will be an early sign, he figures. But Senator Williams is skepti¬ cal. He says earlier freeze order*, played as economy moves, were deceptive. In December, 19B5, President Johnson announced he would reduce civilian employment by 25,000 in seven months. Instead, point* out Mr. Williams, 190,323 employees were added. In Septem¬ ber, 1966, the President ordered another freeze. This time 131,871 employees were hired. In both "freezes,” the total cost increase, due to enlarged payrolls, amounted to more than $2 billion annually. Looking Ahead Red China’s apparently success¬ ful test with the horrendous II bomb, and the reported estimates in the U. S. that belligerent Mao Tse-tung should develop missilery capable of delivering warheads in about six months, ought to put new urgency into demands that Defense Secretary Robert McNa¬ mara withdraw his oposition to de¬ ploying our anti-ballistic-missile systems throughout the United States, mysterious space vehicles established in 1899 $ 3.61 p. r Year which could be carriers of H-bomb clusters awaiting to be triggered and for four years Russia has been deploying an ABM defense system. In 1965, again in 1966 and 1967, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, whose primary responsibility is to recom¬ mend to the President and Defense Secretary military measures for the security of our nation, unan¬ imously urged the deployment of an antibalisticmisle network. De fense Secretary McNamara, over¬ riding his military advisors, ha* adamantely refused; and just re¬ cently McNamara’s Under-secretary said the ABM system would "never” be needed. Sober Warnings An authoritative source in Wash¬ ington, who wishes to remain anonymous, made the following disturbing observations on the grave danger of the "defenseless¬ ness” of the United States con¬ fronted with an aggressor who ha* deployed on ABM system: “Time factors are particularly crucial in the deployment of a major weapons system of this kind. The deployment of an American ABM system is estimated to re¬ quire five years at a minimum, starting with the moment of the decision to deploy . . . "The effect of the Soviet ABM deployment on America’s capacity to deter nuclear war — in the absence of any such defensive system in this country — is dra¬ matic and profound. Such a de¬ velopment raises doubts, at the very least, as to whether U. S. retaliatory strikes can destroy the Soviet Union, assuming the Soviet* strike first. Therefore, if the Soviets have confidence in the capability of their ABM system, the completed deployment of the system (our intelligence apparently is incapable of determining how extensive thus far the deployment is) could be the factor that tips the balance in favor of a Soviet decision to risk a nuclear strike.” Inviting Attack? Our Washington source contin¬ ues: “(The odds favoring such a lecision would, of course, be af¬ fected by the nature of the man ir group that holds power in Mo» ,'ow at the moment; while any -Soviet leadership must be assumed o be willing to make the strike ( the odds are right, the enemy ■stimato as to whether the odds ire right will necessarily reflect human and political factors not strictly connected with the mili¬ tary equation.) "A further consideration must he kept in mind. Even should the USSR’s confidence in the capacity of its ABM system has failed — it remains that the U. S. objective of deterrence would also have failed. The effectiveness of a de¬ terrent depends not on whether retaliation will inflict unsupport able damage on a potential attack¬ er, but on whether the- attacker think* he will incur such damage. Danger: Nuclear Blackmail "This is an important part of the reason why proponents oi immediate deployment of the Nike X system are approaching the problem with such urgency. They believe that nothing less than actual deployment by the U. S. will offset the all-too-subjective factors in the equation of deter¬ rence. . . “It goes without saying that whatever decision the United States makes regarding ABM de¬ ployment must take into account the emergence of Red China as ■ nuclear power, and its prospective entry into the ranks of nation* possessing delivery vehicles of in¬ tercontinental range. . . The gravity of the decision now facing U. S. policymakers is the result of a series of political mis judgments — above all, misjudg ments of the intentions of the Soviet Union ... To the charge of procrastination and failure to meet the challenge of Soviet stra¬ tegic weaponry developments, Sec¬ retary McNamara has consistently replied that the U. S„ through continued research, was ‘keeping the options open’ on various stra¬ tegic systems. But it is now clear that the option time is running out. Unless decisions are made soon, the danger of nuclear war could vastly increase, to say noth¬ ing of the danger of succewfui nuclear blackmail.” Concerned citizens ought to dis¬ cuss this situation with their Senators and Congressmen, ,____
