The big problem for the commission is the "hard core" Southern segregation states. Thus far not a single public school has been integrated in i South Carolina, Georgia, Ala-Ibama, Mississippi, Florida and Virginia. Two members of the commission, Battle and Carlton, are from two of these Southern states. In' these six Southern states are a veritable maze of state statutes in which it is a crime to permit public schools to be integrated. Case of Gov.

Collins. While most of the other "hard core" Southern segregation Governors are frankly doing nothing, and openly winking at the Supreme Court, there is a special case. This is the "moderationist" Gov. Leroy Collins of Florida. He makes speeches, some of which sound fine.

INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 30 The public must be given enough information to permit every citizen to decide for himself whether or not need for testing nuclear weapons outweighs the hazards of fallout, Barry Commoner, professor of botany u-hinaiAn iinivprsitv in St. I ami's r- A hara HActorHav Commoner addressed the ri auu.to;, 1 I American Association ior tne Advancement of Science's committee on social aspects of science during the annual A.A.A.S. meeting here.

He is a member of the committee, and has been active among scientists seeking an intrnational agreement to end nuclear tests. "There is, I believe, no scientific way to balance the pos- I ,1 1 .1 i SIDllIiy OI a uiuusaiiu iii-num from leukemia against the political advantage of developing more efficient retaliatory weapons," he said. "This requires a moral judgment in which the scientist cannot claim a special competence which exceeds that of any other informed citizen." 'Informed Is Key Word. Commoner said the key word was "informed." Scientists naturally were the first to acquire the facts about possible fallout hazard, he said, but they cannot claim any special moral wisdom in determining a question that concerns the welfare of people all over the world. One of the reasons for the confusion that prevails, Commoner said, is that opinions of scientists have been marshaled on both sides of the fallout de-bale.

He said this was due, in part at least, to the fact that scientists were necessarily playing a double role that of informed citizen and that of scientist. Commoner said that scientists had the same right as other citizens to speak out on moral questions, but he emphasized that they should "take pains to disclaim any special moral wisdom." Also, he said, the public and government acencies should refrain from asking scientific organizations 4a fAli.mp mil ii irl rlin Alii 0 to deliver moral judgments. Not an Easy Task. "It is the natural task of the scientists and their professional organizations," he said, "to bring the necessary facts and the means for understanding them to the public "What we need now Is to marshal the full assemblage of facts about fallout, their meaning and uncertainties, and report them to the widest possible audience. This is not an easy task." Commoner called for Intensified research into the hazards of fallout radiation, and a broad educational campaign to bring the fads, whatever they may be, to the public's attention.

Two Main Handicaps.

One could hardly imagine euch a job. Here he is dealing with a political issue where concepts are necessarily vague. This is different than when he would issue orders in the Defense Department and when he was his own boss at Michigan state university. There are two handicaps in the very nature of the task: First, there ara three Southerns on the six-man commission. This could often produce a stalemate, even create intolerable situations.

Second, Senator James O. Eastman, Mississippi Democrat and chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is in charge of confirmation of commission appointments. If he chose, the Mississippi Senator could stall the nominations or make an issue that would embarrass both the Democratic and the Republican parties, but perhaps more the Democratic party since it is in control of Congress.

M. UflU I mm. i-U Here'j way only enjoy Super Fiedler to Conduct Symphony in New Year's Eve Program. Arthur Fiedler of Boston, here to conduct the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra in a special New Year's Eve concert at Hotel Chase, said today he had no intention of throwing a baton at anybody who talked during a classical number.

"We try to get away from that stiff concert atmosphere," Fiedler said. Since 1930 he has been conductor of the Boston "Pops" Orchestra, which 13 composed of members of the Boston Symphony. The "Pops" concert series in Symphony Hall in Boston dates from 1885, and has provided a favorite springtime entertainment for generations of college students and others. The audience sits at tables, and those so-minded can drink, smoke and otherwise reTax while listening to good music. Fiedler will return to St.

Louis in February to lead the St. Louis Symphony in four popular concerts in the Khorassan Room at the Chase. it may be tnat he will come back in April for more of the same. Suggestion has been made that good music plus refreshments might do well here. There is no particular rea son, Fiedler indicated, why classic and good light music should be played only in an atmosphere of gloom He said the Boston programs included everything from Jo-hann Sebastian Bach to boogie-woogie, with a soloist or two, and often some selections from a Broadway musical.

The Boston orchestra's playing of "Pop Goes the Weasel" is regarded as classic, in its way. The objective of a pops concert, Fiedler said, is to please as many people as possible. Ha added that conversation during the music was not encouraged, but there was no hard and last rule against it, and no heed for one. Sometimes Fiedler sneaks up on his audience ny starting out with a number that begins Fiedler is not a baton-rapper. MRS.

He 'added: No Sweet Nothings. "The result: In Florida, nothing has been done. -Not even the most gradual plan for Negro school attendance at any level has been suggested by the Governor. And yet Collins leads the moderates." The President's commission faces a challenge. This is really the nub as far as the mod- erates" are concerned, the decision is up to them as to whether they will move forward and exercise leadership in the crucial battleground.
