What And Who Is This Future? This question posed by Governor Nelson Rockefeller in his manifesto to Vice President Richard Nixon, will ring down time in its restless inquiry long after the tumult and the shouting die around this campaign and this burning question of the presidency of the United States. What and who is this future? The educational institutions and modern philosophers as well are trying to find these answers. Science and invention take the stage. Hand in hand they are coming down civilization making this truly a small world. The present crisis, struggling within a narrow confine, throws upon the screen restless people and often, erring youth. Student movement! all around the world are betraying every form of impatience; questioning both the integrity and "too conservative" movement of their elders, demanding in every form and fashion that they be heard. Who is this future? They have left the earth and in their puncture of the stratosphere, are making pictures and speculating upon the possibilities of its colonization. Is this future to be real? Can it withstand the rigors of the diehards and the political reactionaries who have through the years fattened on delusion? Is the parable of Lot's wife looking back, only to turn to a pillar of salt for her lust for the outmoded "way of life" that she had worshipped so long and loved so weir in the plains of Sodom? This future is real. This future is earnest. In its struggle in these swaddling clothes, "cannot live on bread alone." The Mahatma comes alive once more; he moves in the spirit of the non-violent, the non-sloganists and the firm believers in the Rockefeller doctrine which ennobles the dignity of man. Man truly is a piece of dignity, having been created in the image of his maker, which vouches for the fundamental truth that nothing in the image of our great Creator can be inferior. Time laughs and fate pities those who are still struggling in this quagmire of indifference which seeks to evade even the mandates of the highest courts in the land, render man to a state of the non-political and economic defense and a pawn undeserving of the full protection under law, and unfit for an unrestricted circulation in a free society. Remember Randolph County and her Shorters; Columbus, Georgia, and her Primus Kings; Dawson, Georgia, and her school teachers, and poor Brazier who paid with his life in this atonement; remember Tuskegee—and forget the Alamo and all of those ancient shrines of wilful evasions and dead slogans. Gov. Rockefeller, in what will live as a modern classic, left his own answers; "It is proving by political action that we do love and respect the dignity of man as we assure civil rights for all our people. He calls our America, "exposed—a problem to be either resolved by strong action, or to be evaded by strong slogans." This future is you — and yours; this future; "It is nuclear power either serving to better lives — and to defend peoples, or to shatter nations and shake the planet." A Handbook For Voters Each election year multitudes of "get out the vote" campaigns are conducted. This is all to the good, but one more thing is needed—namely, informed intelligent voting. A new paperback by John A. Wells, entitled "The Voter's presidential Handbook," (McDowell Obolensky, New York) does an excellent job of filling that need. Sponsored by the Committee to Inform the Voters, it provides in concise and readable form a history of the office of the president along with description of his powers, duties and responsibilities; biographies of the 1960 presidential possibilities of both parties; a discussion of how each individual can be active and effective in politics; the Way the national party conventions operate in choosing their presidential and vice presidential candidates, and a wealth of other valuable matter. Mr. Wells, dedicates his book "to the independent voter who, even if a member of a political party, does not blindly follow party dogma or a party leader, but thinks for himself and votes for the candidate or proposition he believes best for the people." The country sorely needs more voters of that kind. Nixon Emerges "I believe we must practice at home such a respect for law and equality as we wish to preach — and serve — in the world at large," said Gov. Rockefeller, adding: "The record of the Republican party on civil rights is a very creditable one — certainly on any comparative basis. But no record can claim to be good enough so long as discrimination, segregation, and disenfranchisement persist on almost massive scale. "The Supreme Court has called for respect of the basic laws and principles of our nation' with all deliberate speed.' The deliberateness must: not be sabotaged. The time has come for progress. And this can come with the summoning of cooperative efforts by leaders in communities throughout the nation." Mr. Nixon made it clear that he is standing on the Administration's record in the past seven and a half years. He said he is "proud of it, and I think the record has been the best of any administration in my lifetime." The Administration, of course, has a good record in the field of civil rights. So has Vice President Nixon. So have all of the candidates for the Democratic nomination. None of the candidates would score perfectly on civil rights. Each of them has some bad spots. But none of them has what may be classified as a bad record or an anti-civil rights record. Senator Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, the Senate Democratic leader, like the Vice President, has some spots on his record, but he can also boast that he started his political career as a liberal under the banner of the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt and that the Senate, under his leadership, passed two civil rights bills - the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and the Civil Rights Act of 1960. Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts has at least one bad vote in his record — the vote for the jury trial amendment in 1951. But like Senator Stuart Symington of Missouri, who also has a good voting record, he has never been vocal on the subject of civil rights. One of the stories which made the rounds of the Nation's Capital concerned the rupture between President Eisenhower and Chief Justice Earl Warren. The story was to the effect that Mr. Eisenhower was not too happy with the Supreme Court decision outlawing racial segregation in the public schools. There was not much light that Mr. Nixon could throw on this story. But persons close to the Vice President said Mr. Nixon believed, as far as personal relationships were concerned, that the reports of any rupture were greatly exaggerated or had no foundation. On the occasions when Mr. Nixon attended White House dinners and Chief Justice and Mrs. Warren were present, persons close to the Vice President say he noticed only a warm personal relationship, very cordial and friendly. With respect to reports that President Eisenhower disapproved the Supreme Court decision, this reporter can state that the Vice President has found the President always to avoid scrupulously any indication of any criticism of the decision in any meeting in which Mr. Nixon has participated. This reporter also can state that Mr. Nixon thinks the President's attitude on civil rights is rather indicative of the way he approaches things. The President may have individual views, which might not be consistent with those of the Supreme Court decision, but he has consistently followed the line that once the law has been declared and once it is established everybody adheres. At the time the President chose Governor Warren to be the Chief Justice of the United States, and the Vice President had nothing to do with it, it is known that the Vice President thinks it was made without any prospect or regard to the decision against segregated public schools. That certainly was not discussed at the time, and Mr. Nixon is known not to believe that it had anything to do with the appointment. There have been disagreements about the Supreme Court decision. But this is not unusual. It has happened in every Administration, both Democratic and Republican. The gist of the story was that Chief Justice Warren was Pained at the lack of the President's initiative in pushing the decision. But persons close to the Vice President said he had not seen any indication, that this Chief Justice is pained. Of course, Chief Justice Warren is not one to confide in the Vice President, and Mr. Nixon is not one likely to have known if the Chief Justice was pained. Relations between the two men have been strained ever since the 1952 Republican national convention. The Chief Justice is said to believe that Mr. Nixon ran out on him. The Chief Justice was a candidate for the Republican Presidential nom ination, which went to General Eisenhower. This reporter can say that the Vice President believes that there is no question about Chief Justice Warren's strong and vigorous belief not only in the school integration decision but in all that he has made and that he regards the Chief Justice as a man of very strong convictions.

A "moderate" improvement in the nation's economy can be expected during the remainder of 1960, economist Marcus Nadler said Wednesday. In a mid-year business analysis prepared for the Hanoevr Bank Nadler said "there is both strength and weakness in the economy, but the forces indicating a further expansion are more numerous than those pointing to a contraction." He also predicted that the pattern of business this year will be marked by "keen competition" both here and abroad. The collapse of the summit meeting makes it even less likely that Congress will either raise tariffs or that the administration will impose new import quotas.

SEND ANOTHER HEARSE A "Scott Jordan" Criminal Case by Harold Q. MASUR Copyright © 1960, by Harold Q. Masur. From the novel published by Random House, Inc. Distributed by King Feature! Syndicate. ADAM COLEMAN was waving a paper in the air. "Look at this," he said a little wildly. "I'm being sued. Fifty thousand dollars." He repeated the sum. "Fifty thousand and I never even saw the money," "Sit down, Adam," I told him. "Relax." "Relax! That's easy for you to say. You lawyers thrive on litigation. Every time somebody's in trouble it—" He swallowed apologetically. "I'm sorry, Scott." He tossed the papers on my desk. "What am I going to do about this?" "I don't know. Let me read the complaint, first." It was simple enough. The plaintiff was a man named Fred Duncan. He was suing Adam Coleman and Dan Varney, both as individuals and as members of a firm, for fifty thousand dollars received by them for the sale of his book, to Zenith Films, a Hollywood producing outfit. Adam's agitation had eased a little now. The summons explained his gloomy mood and now I wanted him to explain the summons. "I assume this Fred Duncan is a client of yours and he wrote a book called which you sold to Zenith Films." "From manuscript. We haven't been able to find a trade publisher." "How come?" "Duncan's a rank amateur. The writing is lousy. But what a story he tells! Based on fact, too. It's a blockbuster, Scott. That's what Zenith bought, and with a good scenario they can't miss." "It's all wrapped up with Zenith? Contracts signed and the money paid." "I—I guess so." "What do you mean, you guess. Don't you know?" He nodded unhappily. "I was out of town when the check arrived. Varney deposited it in our special account at the Merchant's Trust and when it cleared he simply withdrew the cash and . . . disappeared," "You mean absconded?" Adam groaned from the heart. "There's no other explanation." "Varney's married, isn't he?" "To my sister. Barbara. Didn't you know?" I shook my head, "When did that happen?" "About a year ago. She'd just returned from Europe and met me at the office one day. I introduced them. Barbara's a stunner. One look and Verney zeroed in." "Doesn't she know where he is?" Adam gestured helplessly. "Barbara's In Reno getting a divorce. That marriage was on the rocks from the beginning. God knows, she tried to make it work, but . . . well, anyway the money's gone and so is Dan. And now I've got Fred Duncan on my neck," "Tell me about him." Adam took off his glasses and wiped them. "Duncan is an ex-cop. A Scotsman with, an accent thick enough to sit on. He was wound ed during a holdup some years ago, shot in the knee and par tially crippled. They pensioned him off the force and he got a job at the Merchant's Trust, custodian in the safe-deposit vault. That's where I met him. "He knew I was a literary agent, and one day he handed me a manuscript and asked me to read it. He'd been working on it for a long time, he said. I wasn't sanguine over the prospect. Anyway, I took it back to the office and left it on my desk, Varney found it and started reading. He got interested and thought it had possibilities. So we started sending it around. Well, that sort of thing takes time, and Duncan was a nuisance, He'd phone almost every day, grumbling and griping, until I got so fed up I wanted to chuck the whole thing. But then Dan had a bright idea and he sent the story over to Zenith Films. It's an independent outfit with a lot of imagination." He paused and I nodded to show that he had my full attention. "The first nibble came with a request for information about the author. And when they learned his background and realized how much of the story was authentic biography, they began to negotiate in earnest. We settled on fifty thousand and notified Duncan. He had to sign the contracts, of course. Then I flew out to the coast and only got back last week, Varney wasn't around. At first I had no reason to be suspicious, he'd often take off for a day or two. And then Duncan started calling, wanting to know about his money. That's when I began to have misgivings. I got in touch with Zenith Films and they told me the check had been mailed. So I went over to the bank and got the shock of my life. The check had been deposited and the money withdrawn." "They gave Varney fifty thousand in cash?" "Yes. He handed them some cock and bull story about a nutty client who didn't believe in banks." "You told Duncan about the money?" "I had no alternative. I stalled him as long as I could and then . . . well, you can imagine." "And this morning you were served with a summons." "Yes. They can't hold me re sposible, can they Scott?" "Oh, yes they can. Each partner is personally responsible for the acts and omissions of his associates. Varney can be made to share the burden, if you find him. If not, the law insists that you shoulder the whole load yourself." Adam looked stupefied. For a moment I thought I bad lost him. He shook his bead in a dazed way. "How can I find him?" he said. "I'm no detective." "You'll have to hire one." "That's expensive and may take months." "We can notify the District Attorney. After all, Varney's a thief. Finding Varney is really, their job anyway." "No," Adam was surprisingly emphatic "I—I'd rather not involve the police." "Why not?" He hesitated, choosing his words carefully. "We can't stand the publicity. How do you think our other clients would react if they thought their money wasn't safe?" "I see what you mean. Then we'll have to find Varney ourselves." He thought about it. "All right, Scott. What do you suggest?" "I suggest we file an answer to the summons. We'll enter a general denial, delay the proceedings, and in the meantime try to locate Varney. Have you any idea what made him do this?" "Sure Debts, high living, expensive habits." "Have you searched his desk?" "At the office, yes. Nothing there" "How about his apartment?" Adam brightened momentarily. "No, but I have a key." "I suggest you go over there and shake it down. Look for cards or folders from a travel agency receipts from a h air line, the name of a shipping company, anything." Adam stood still, looking glum and pitiably harassed. "What's the trouble?" I asked. "I can't go," he said. "Not now. I have to go to the hospital. It's my father. He had another heart attack. He's on the critical list." Adam's mouth twisted bitterly. "And that woman he married never even let me know. I had to get the news indirectly." "You haven't seen him for some time, have you, Adam?" "I can't see him now either. He's in a coma, under oxygen. They won't let anybody into his room." He looked up, tightlipped. "But I want to be there anyway. I'm still his son, even if he did disown me. Look, Scott, I'll give you the key. You know better than I what to look for and I'd consider it a great favor." "How could I refuse? Too much time had been wasted already. So I took the key and made a note of Varney's address.

It was conceived by the Rev. Dr. James H. Robinson, Negro Presbyterian minister who has founded many community center programs on the Eastern coast of the United States. He is pastor of the Church of the Master in New York City and the founder of the Morningside Community Center which adjoins the Church. This will be the second summer Dr. Robinson has led an interracial and inter religious group of Ameri can students to Africa. In 1958, the pilot project of Operation -Crossroads Africa saw him lead about 60 American students to that continent. For the first project five countries were visited. The students built schools, a chapel, and a water supply system. Upon their return to the United States two months later, the project and the participating students got unqualified praise from the State Department. President Eisenhower has since specifically praised Operation Crossroads Africa in a letter to Dr. Robinson. This year's project will take in 10 African countries — Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nihomey, Togo, and Cameroon. Once in Africa the students will be divided into 14 groups. They will work on projects designated by the countries they visit. Their motivation is the desire to come to grips with Africa on a strong personal basis. They will be in an area that is rapidly coming of age in a political sense. Ghana and Guinea have recently become sovereign nations, while Nigeria will soon become a full - fledged Commonwealth nation, Cameroon, Togo, and Senegal recently have become nations within the French family of nations. In these new Negro nations the visiting Americans will be exposed to an intense nationalism, the likes of which they probably have never before experienced. The Africans, on the other hand, will be able to see for the first time a cross sectional group of Americans. Both the participating Americans and Africans will have much to learn from each other. Dr. Robinson, and many of those who have worked with him to support Operation - Crossroads Africa, believe that the new knowledge the American students bring back from Africa and the knowledge about America thye leave behind will be the most valuable fruits of the project. The students from this year's project were carefully selected from 70 colleges in the United States and Canada. They hail from 27 states and three Canadian provinces. One student is from the Republic of Uruguay. The students will depart by air for Africa June 21 and 22 after an intensive week of orientation in New York City. They win return to the United States in late August. To help pay for the project each student must contribute $800. Scholarship aid is given in cases where the need is shown. However, it costs about $1,650 to send each student to Africa. The nest of the money, as well as the money for scholarship aid, has to be raised through support from private foundations and gifts from individuals and corporations. The fund raising to finance this year's project still is going on.

But Nixon challenged Rockefeller's charge that he had failed to speak out adequately on, issues in advance of the July 25 GOP nominating convention. "I believe I have set forth with greater precision and in more detail my views on major issues than have any others," Nixon said. Nixon took one dig at Rockefeller when, if any doubt remained, he ruled out any possibility of the Republicans coming up this fall with a Nixon Rockefeller ticket.
