For some time, trouble has been brewing in Panama over the canal. In the future, it could become quite serious trouble. And Mexico, which is a friendly neigh- bor, is at the same time the critical link in air communications be- tween Cuba and the rest of Latin, America. , Without the cooperation of Mex- ico, a tight containment of Cas- tro's agents is virtually impossible. For once the agents are out of Cuba and on the mainland, the administrative task of checking them in 20 different countries is gigantic. One of the undiscussed problems of diplomacy is how to persuade Mexico to cooperate in the containment of Castro. For Mexico maintains diplomatic re- lations with Cuba and is unim- pressed by our anxiety about Cas- tro. SINCE the October crisis about the Soviet missiles, American an- xiety about Cuba has shifted. In October, the anxiety was about a military threat against the United States. Since the, the anxiety has turned to Cuba as a staging area for revolutionary movements in Latin America. It is fair tosay that there is no clear and certain solution in the present phase of the Cuban prob- lem. That is because there is only one way to get rid of Castro quickly, and no responsible person, not Senator Goldwater and much less Senator Keating, wants to take that way. It is to invade Cuba, occupy it and govern it. The trouble with invasion is that it would be illegal; it would be very costly, not only in men and money, but in influence all over the world. Above all, invasion would be in- conclusive. For Castro's men are good guerrilla fighters, and they would be given help from many American countries and of course from the Soviet Union. We should have on our hands the kind df nasty war which the, French had in Algeria, and the great majority of our people, 'though they are much disturbed about Cuba, know that unless Castro commits overt aggression against some other American state, the remedy of invading Cuba would be worse than putting up with the existence of Castro. THERE ARE many who think that a substitute for invasion would be a blockade of goods, and especially oil. The blockade would be designed to bring about the collapse of the Cuban econmy. The President has called this an act of war, and the advocates of a block- ade reply that the October quar- antine of offensive missiles was also an act of war, which for- tunately the Soviet Union did not choose to fight. Of course, it might be that once again the Russians would choose not to fight and that they would accept a blockade designed to de- stroy the Cuban economy. But those who are sure that they wouldn't fight can't possibly know that. What we do know is that it would be harder for the Soviet Union to accept a blockade to de- stroy the Cuban economy than it was to accept the very specific quarantine of offensive missiles last October. Moreover, a blockade would bring us into direct conflict with Soviet ships, and therefore to the verge of a great war. Yet it would not necessarily eliminate Castro. It can be argued, in fact, that as between invasion and blockade, invasion would be the lesser risk. Either way, however, the risk would be incalculable. That is to say, while it would be easy enough to launch an invasion or to insti- tute a blockade, nobody would be able to calculate the consequences, to foresee the course of events and to define the conclusion. SO WE ARE left with surveil- lance, containment and the effort, to immunize the hemisphere against Communism by promoting the Alliance for Progress. This is a long, frustrating course to take. Again and again we shall be look- ing around for some sharp, deci- sive, surgical solution. Those who think they have such a solution will sound like a brass band with all the flags flying as compared with an organ grinder and his monkey. They will have all the good tunes, and the pro- saic plodders will have to do the dirty work of keeping the peace. (c) 1963, The washington Post Co. r> r'}.:.. :..

The two extremes of feeling on the part of those who respectively defended and con- demned the boy were articulated before the court with great clarity: Reuben Lawson, Negro attorney of Roanoke who acted as the defense counsel argued to the jury that the youth was a "mentally sick boy" and should be placed in a hospital if found guilty. He urged the jury members to treat him as they would treat their own sons, saying "the poor little boy, if he is quilty, deserves some punishment, but he's sick and it's your responsibility to help him." The attorney for the prosecution, Royston Jester III, declared that the defendent "is not a sick boy. He is a vicious man capable of a man's functions and a man's desires . . . there can be no alternative in this case. The only proper verdict is death." THESE TWO philosophies contended in a segregated courtroom for the life of a Negro boy. The attorney for the defense was Negro. The attorney for the prosecution was white. The judge was white., The woman the boy was accused of raping was white. The 12-man jury, begged by the defense to consider the 18-year-old defendant as a son, was white. The white jury disposed of the life of the Negro boy after deliberating for one hour and 41 minutes. IT IS PERHAPS not surprising that the jury dispatched of the youth in such short order. Ringing in the ears of the 12 impartial men was the warning of the white attorney for the prosecution that if they returnd any verdict other than death the residents of Lynchburg "can't walk safely upon the public streets." Perhaps they considered the fact that it is not really normal for an 18-year-old boy to rape a woman more than three times his age. Perhaps they also considered the fact that the woman-who is alive and well-was unable to make a positive identification of the boy as the one who had attacked her. But then such considerations are neither here nor there when a jury has the public safety to consider. It is futile to argue in this case that capital punishment, which is never justified even for murder or treason, should be unthinkable to a civilized mind as a penalty for rape. Even the judge who sentenced the boy knows that, as is demonstrated by the fact that five months earlier, in the same courtroom, he had set a sentence of five years-with a possibility of parole after 18 months-as punishment for a 37-year-old white man who had raped an 11-year-old Negro girl. IT IS quite obvious that neither the nature of the crime itself nor the age of defendent or victim was the determining factor in the choice of sentence. There is only one factor left: The mature man sentenced to five years in prison was white and the child he attacked was Negro; The boy (who was only 17 at the time he is alleged to have committed the crime) is Negro and the woman he is accused of attack- ing is white. The trials took place in the Commonwealth of Virginia. THE BOY will not die because he raped the woman-if indeed he really did. He will die because he had the audacity to be born a Negro in an age when the Negro is finally demanding to be treated as a human being by men like the ones who prosecuted, tried and judged him, and because he is utterly at the mercy of their thirst for revenge. To the Editor: TN YESTERDAY'S edition of The Daily you reprinted excerpts frdm my letter of March 25 to Student Government Council. Unfortunately, the last sen- tence you printed on page two of the item consists of a contrac- tion of two sentences of my letter. As you contracted them I appear to expect litigation to finish no sooner than May, 1964, if three kinds of rules are adopted by then (May, 1964). What I wrote to SGC was: "JUDGING by past experience, I would expect the litigation process to finish, (if litigation is required), no sooner than May, 1964, assuming the membership, information, and procedure rules are adopted before the coming summer vacation. If these rules are not adopted by then, it may well happen that final action against a contumacious group cannot come about until some time in 1965." I think the difference is sig- nificant inasmuch as my letter is urging that Council adopt mem- bership, information, and proce- dure rules by the coming summer vacation, rather than waiting un- til some time such as May, 1964. While I do not want to burden you with stale news, and I recog- nize the fact that two references to my letter have already appeared in print, I think the error a sig- nificant one. -Prof. Robert J. Harris Bylaw . .' To the Editor: I THINK it is about time that Regents Bylaw 2.14 was quoted in full in your newspaper: Policy oi Nondiscrimination: The University shall not dis- criminate against- any person because of race, color, religion, creed, national origin, or an- cestry. Further, it shall work for the elimination of discrimi- nation (1) in private organiza- tions recognized by the Univer- sity and (2) from non-Univer- sity sources where students and employees of the University are involved. It seems that there is quite a bit of misunderstanding about this bylaw. The most immediate ques- tion is: How can any private or- ganization possibly be in violation of this bylaw which is directed specifically to the University? This' bylaw states that the University shall not discriminate. It further states that the University shall work for the elimination of dis- crimination in private organiza- tions. THE DAILY, its editorial staff, and Student Government Council continually imply (if not boldly state) that certain private organ- izations affiliated with the Univer- sity are in violation of Regents Bylaw 2.14. This is an impossibil- ity. I do not say that certain or- ganizations may not be in viola- tions; but when an organization is in violation of a University or SGC regulation, would it not be much more accurate to state the again. I contend that Mr. Orlin's paraphrasing is both inaccurate and misleading. Regents Bylaw 2.14 may be the motivating force behind other regulations pertain- ing to membership selection. How- ever, when a private organization is accused of discriminatory prac- tices, the regulation being violated should be precisely stated. In other words, from now on let's keep the facts straight. -Robert L. Murphy, '60 Amendment * * To the Editor: THE STRAUSS House amend- ment to the Inter-Quadrangle Council constitution, which has now been initiated by action of thirteen houses, would reduce the academic standing now required of an IQC presidential candidate from junior to sophomore, while retaining the present requirement that a candidate have one year's experience in quadrangle or IQC level student government. This amendment is needed to end the undemocratic one-candi- date elections that have denied our highly competent house presi- dents from choosing between com- peting candidates and ideas in the IQC elections. By promoting com- petitive elections, the Strauss amendment would also force can- didates to think through a pro- gram and expose it to the purify- ing process of election-time debate. IQC needs to have its leader and ex-officio member to SGC elected in this kind of democratic man- ner. * * * ' THE STRAUSS amendment, un- like the amendment initiated by IQC itself, does actually open IQC office to more men. It excludes no one presently eligible. It excludes no one made eligible by the IQC proposal. It differs from the IQC proposal only in that the Strauss amendment does not try to make IQC a closed body. By not re- quiring a full semester's prior ser- vice as one of IQC's six committee chairman or a full semester's ser- vice as one of IQC's nine members (as does the IQC proposal), the Strauss amendment would permit constituent pressure to elect a candidate who may not be the choice of the outgoing IQC presi- dent (who selects the committee chairmen and his officers) or the outgoing quadrangle presidents, (who in practice successfully "rec- ommend" who shall be the IQC Reps). The need for the Strauss amend- ment has been well demonstrated. Unlike the proposal IQC created, our amendment is non-political, for it does not allow the present members of IQC to select their opposition for next February's IQC presidential elections. -John Koza, '64 Constitution. ee To the Editor: GERALD STORCH wrote an in- teresting article on the educa- tion section of the proposed state constitution, however I think that his conclusion is unjustified. The main argument in Storch's analy- sis centers around the proposed ten, and as Storch says in his article, quoting Northern Michigan University President Edgar L. Har- den, the state's higher education system is in "near anarchy" fol- lowing the failure of the state colleges to agree on the best plan for Delta College. Certainly this indicates the need of some body with the guts to settle the Delta problem, or to tell Michigan State University that it does not need a medical school, or to say that the University has enough students on one campus now. The Legislature has too many other questions before it to study this problem with the detail neces- sary, and the separate universities are too parochial by themselves to do this, STORCH also complains about the method of selecting the super- intendent of public instruction. He states that this person should be appointed by the governor, how- ever the question before the voters is between electing a man nomi- nated by party conventions every two years under the 1908 con- stitution, or having the superin- tendent appointed by and respon- sible to the elected board making overall policy for the state's edu- cational system under the new constitution. The preferred choice is obvious. I think in sum total the educa- tion article of the new constitu- tion offers a definite improvement over the 1908 adaptation of Michi- gan's 1850 constitution. -George Stevenson, '64 Lemmings ... To the Editor: FOR THOSE of us who work constantly for student respon- sibility and truly believe in it, a panty raid by women on men's halls makes us wonder if a small minority of the students have mis- taken a great Mid-Western uni- versity for a small latter day junior high school. It is also in- teresting to note that the blind annual rush of lemmings to the sea occurs at approximately this time of year and is more than slightly reminiscent of last night's absurdities. -Elizabeth Davenport, Assistant to the Vice-President for Student Affairs Witch Hunt... To the Editor: IT IS interesting to note that the same groups which call tactics of the House Un-American Ac- tivities Committee "witch hunting" are often those same groups which so actively hunt instances of dis- crimination. At this university cer- tain groups demand knowledge of the membership rules of all or- ganizations. They demand strict surveillance of public and private institutions. Every possible means of expressing discrimination is sought. When a possible instance of such discrimination is discover- ed, or if some person or institu- tion expresses unwillingness to co- operate in this hunt for evil, the ugly cry "bias" is screamed. This cry has come to ring in our ears (Continued from Page 2) commitments from both USNSA and the proper authorities within the Uni- versity.
