Its theme is that too many Northern papers jump on the South for race discrimination but ignore the same thing in their own home towns. And The Advertiser proceeds to prove There have been 30 articles so far on this subject, attacking everything from The New York Times on down. They describe racial curfews, official hatred, unofficial threats, segregated society pages, in fact, just about every kind of discrimination you can imagine.

All in the North, and all unreported by local Northern -papers. This series of comments is called "Publish It Not In The Streets Of Askelon," which Is a quote from the Bible, and is the verse right after "How are the mighty fallen!" The Cleveland Press doesn't like the Lucy case, the Montgomery bus deal or the unreasoning Alabama attack on the National Association for the Advance ment of Colored People, one bit better than most Northerners or decent Southerners, for that matter. But the Montgomery newspaper has made a point. On March 12, The Press said on this page: "It's easy to criticize the defiance of desegregation in the South. "It's easy to be Indignant about the arrogance of Southern senators and congressmen who attack the integrity of the Supreme Court of the United States.

"But Ohio has school segregation, too in Hillsboro and nobody's doing anything about it." And the editorial ended: "It's easy to criticize the South. "How about right here at home?" The Press is going to stick to this stand, and will continue to work for human dignity. And since The Montgomery Advertiser began with Scripture, here's a quotation that should apply everywhere, North and South: "So whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them." ago, is today the most tenacious of the great powers of Europe in clinging to overseas possessions. The colonies of the first class where the colonial 'power supplants or absorbs the natives and gives the colony a population derived from the mother country and kindred lands are in an entirely different class. Such colonies are definite assets, for even after they have achieved freedom they are still bound to.

National Whirligig By Ray Tucker WASHINGTON. ypANY industrial and labor experts in and out of government predict that the current steel strike will accelerate the postwar trend toward automation among basic industries. In their belief it must hasten the day of further mechanization- and technological advances, possibly reducing the power and membership of the unions. Oddly, the man who has felt the impact of automation most keenly has no fear of its long-range, ill effects. He Is John L.

Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers and founder of the CIO. As a result of mechanization, between 300,000 and 400,000 miners now produce more coal than 600,000 once did with pick and shovel and explosives. An American miner turns out 10 times as much coal as his hand-digging opposite in Britain, where the nationalized industry is languishing. In fact, John L. and several operators recently bought a shipping company to supply Britain's needs.

MINERS' GAINS The miners' experience with mechaines may serve as a helpful guide to other labor leaders who fear and oppose automation. During the postwar period of change, John L. has obtained unprecedented gains for his men in the form of shorter hours, peak pay, a welfare and retirement sys tem, a hospital chain and other fringe benefits. And since he broke with FDR in 1940, he has won them without White House help in fact, in spite of Roosevelt-Truman opposition. He has found that he can make better bargains with the owners and operators than with the politicians.

Human nature admittedly aided John L. in facing the automation challenge. There was a natural reduction in the coal-mining force because so many sons would not follow their fathers below ground when they finished school. SECOND GENERATION'S ACTIVITIES But the significant fact is that, with increasing mechanization, the second generation of prospective miners entered the factories which make the machine tools for the miners. That industry has blossomed since and just before World War II, for there must be men behind the machines.

Others shifted to trades and service establishments, wThich have absorbed hundreds of thousands of former workers in mines and factories. In many of these lines, it has been found, age is no bar, and there is a minimum need for previous experience. The five-day week, fatter envelopes and assurance of security In old age through pensions, retirement pay or Uncle Sam's benefits have created a new leisure class in the United States. It is a phenomenon which is only beginning to make itself felt, economically, on a national scale. To service, entertain and cater to their holiday needs requires a vast force of men and women displaced by machines.

HIGH COST OF MORSE Sen. Wayne L. Morse is depicted as the most expensive member of the United States Senate in the "documented record" of his career, recently issued by the Republican State Central Committee of Oregon. Morse, erstwhile Republican turned Democrat, opposes Gov. Arthur B.

Lang-lie in November, whose entry was sponsored by the White House. The GOP figures it has a good chance to gain this seat. From 1945 to May 31, according to the hostile computation, Morse had cost the taxpayers $320,410.76 for pub lication of his speeches and other entries in the Congressional Record. When he set a Senate record for the length of an unsuccessful filibuster 22 hours and 26 minutes the bill for his lo quacity was more than $9,000. FIVE O'CLOCK SHADOW Ironically, Morse rarely has more than a handful of listeners.

He usually takes the floor late in the afternoon, which has led newspaper correspondents to dub him "The Five O'clock Shadow." He usual ly empties both the Senate and the press gallery by merely signalling the presiding officer that "I have something to say." (Released by MeClure Newspaper Syndicate) Alabama, nor under a magnolia blossom, so citizens of Buffalo just can't believe this was a 'race An official fact-finding committee yesterday decided to sweep the incident under the rug by calling it For if they called it a race riot, as it plainly w-as, the 'daughters the Philistines would "As an Advertiser survey documented, some Northern newspapers played the Buffalo race riot as though it had happened in Alabama or Johannesburg, whereas others refused to acknowledge that such things happen by playing the story down on the inside pages. One of the most pretentious papers in New York let the story get a day old before it printed it." The Advertiser has delighted in finding Northern cities where Negroes are not allowed to live or even to stay overnight, among them Owosso, birthplace of Thomas Dewey. The Montgomery newspaper has certainly struck a tender spot in the attitude of the North toward racial incidents. Newspapers in the North undoubtedly do play down racial Incidents on the theory that tension is not thereby increased, but they have fallen into the habit of believing that the South is fair game for full reporting of racial incidents. This deceives the people up North into believing that they are not guilty of the same sort of thing which goes on in the South.

It is rather inexcusable for The New York Times or any Northern newspaper to ignore racial tension in its own backyard and make a great to-do over like tension when it occurs in Alabama or some other Southern state. What's sauce for the goose, certainly ought to be an edible potion for the gander. The Mirror Newark (N.J.) Star-Ledger formidable task in any situation so laden with emotion, conflict of viewpoint and fluidity of shape. I These two duties and desires we must constantly reconcile with the need for promoting community decency and peace. At the risk of appearing to ask for some of Mr.

Hall's deft but deep thrusts, we freely confess that our headline writers have than once been influenced by considerations of sound community policy as well as by the instinct to scream out the news in all its violent details. We do not think it amounts to a double-standard when we assert that the story of integration in the South is a much bigger news story than the story of racial tensions and Injustice in the North. Some of our Southern friends think that Northern liberals are hypocrites to excite themselves about desegregation in the South, when our great Northern cities maintain segregation in fact by employing housing covenants and other questionable pressures to deny Negroes the ability to spread out of their congested ghettos. Some of us are self-deceived arid hypocritical and some of us possibly are not, but the fact still remains that the bigger news story by far is the impact upon the traditionally segregationist South of the historic Supreme Court desegregation decision. Thus, when the Negro people of Montgomery act together to wipe out the deep-rooted Jim Crow simply by refusing to patronize segregated transportation on buses, that is both startling and significant news by any reasonable standard.

We are, to be sure, fair game for Southern editors who may delight in showing how much unhappiness there in racial situation, and we are not complaining. We think it Is all to the good that a Southern editor should hold up a mirror to us in the North, and we agree that reporting of the racial situation must be lifted to a higher level.

The beach was crowded, Rhodes being a favorite resort of Athenians, particularly honeymooners, but rented a small sailboat, complete with skipper, and spent the afternoon skimming about, and swimming over the sides.

Hall Jr. is the able editor-in-chief, has been having a lot of fun recently taking Northern newspapers to task for devoting so much space to racial tension in the South and almost completely ignoring the same problem in the North. In a series of erudite editorials, with a light touch and carried under the caption, "Publish It Not In The Streets Of Askelon," The Advertiser has dug up a lot of facts about racial discrimination in the North and rather pointedly asked a number of Northern editors, why what Is news. in the South is not news in the North. You brighter people may recognize the allusion to "Publish It Not In The Streets Of Askelon." I had to look it up.

It comes from the Second Book of Samuel in the Old Testament, chapter one, verse 20. The' complete reference Is, "Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice; lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph." Obviously The Advertiser is casting the people of the South in the role of the daughters of the Philistines, who must not be allowed to rejoice over the advertised sins of the people up North. In its latest editorial in the series, The Advertiser said in part: "The City of Buffalo, N.Y.. recently had a race riot worthy of Chicago or Detroit. All the combatants on one side were Negroes and all the combatants on the other were whites, but there is still a bitter debate between Buffalo civic leaders whether this was a race riot.

"It didn't happen at the University of Looking Into Editor Philip Hochstein In The 'THE editor of The Montgomery Advertiser, Grover C. Hall is making out quite a case for his contention that some Northern newspapers are distorting racial news in the South while playing down shameful racial news and conditions in the North. His criticism should be taken to heart, and wre propose to do so. We think it is true that some Northern newspapers have offended badly in their reporting of Southern racial problems, and we are quite sure that few Northern newspapers have been as energetic in self-criticism and reporting of local racial tensions as in "exposing" the South. We should be grateful (and will try to be) to Mr.

Hall for confronting our consciences with our weakness for the double-standard. He has rendered a service by calling attention not only to some high-pressure reporting by some Northern papers in the South, but also to the playing down of racial riots and disorders in the North by some local papers. Should we not, in return for this service, try to reciprocate? We are not interested in any counter-indictment, but we think we can make some contribution to clarity' of thought by offering a little more light on some of the facts he discusses. Mr. Hall has cited a number of instances wherein race riots have occurred in the North but have been underplayed to the point of censorship in the Northern press.

We are more concerned with our own behavior in our own' community than with any general indictment of the Northern press. We know there are tensions and incidents in our community. We also know that, as a newspaper, we have some responsibilities with relation to these tensions and incidents that are not always easy to recdncile with each other. 3 We have the duty and desire to report the news, no matter how controversial or painful. also have the duty and desire to be both accurate and fair in such reporting, and that is obviously a Here's By Henry RHODES.

Historic Anniversary This year marks a memorable 200th anniversary in American history the start of the Seven Years War, which resulted in the ousting of France from North America and thus determined that the culture and institutions of this continent should be predominantly English. France and England had been fighting an undeclared war in North America before it was in 1755 that Gen.

Braddock met his memorable defeat at the hands of the French and Indians. The war was made official in 1756, and lasted until 1763. Soma interesting sidelights on what became a worldwide conflict are found in Madame- De Pompadour, a biography of the celebrated girl friend of King Louis XV of France, recently written by a talented Englishwoman, Nancy Mitford. One cause of the Seven Years War was the enmity between Madame De Pompadour and Frederick 4he Great of Prussia fanned to fever heat when Frederick showed his contempt for the Frenchwoman by naming one of the in mates of his kennels "Pompadour." Madame Pompaiour was enraged she would show Frederick that she was somebody, and became ore of the moving spirits In forming a coalition to "get him, embracing France, Russia and Austria. England took the anti-French side from force of habit.

It has long been the vogue to censure the shortsighted policy of 18th Cen tury French statesmen, who concen trated on the war in Europe, and showed scant concern over losing North Amer ica and India to England. Miss Mitford gives a new slant on this, and one complimentary to the French. She says that French indif ference to overseas empire was due to enlightened views, well ahead of their In the 19th Century the French could not forgive Louis XV for the loss of their colonies, but while it was happening they hardly noticed it. Public opinion was entirely against any form of colonization. The philosophes, 200 years before their time, thought then as we think now on the subject, and most of their fellow countrymen entirely agreed with them.

Miss Mitford quotes from Rousseau on the rights of the "noble savage," and also from Montesquieu: "An em pire is like a tree. If the branches spread too far they drain the sap from the trunk. Men should stay where they are; transplanted to another climate their health will suffer." She also refers to Voltaire's denunciation of "crimes" committed by Europeans in America. It was because of this basic anti- colonial philosophy, Miss Mitford says, that Montcalm in Canada and Dupleix In India were insufficiently supported, so that although they performed miracles, they were bound to be defeated in the end. It is a fact that the French were much better hands at winning the friendship of the Indians of North America than were the English.

In the Seven Years War and earlier conflicts, most of the Indians sided with the French. There are really two kinds of colonies those with a negligible native population at a low stage of civilization, where the colonial power sends settlers to make over the land, and those with a dense and relatively advanced native population, where the colonial power acts only as administrator and exploiter. The 18th Century French policy has been vindicated as to the second class of colonies the way European powers have been and are still pulling out of them under pressure is proof of that. It Is something of a paradox that France, with her record of 200 years wm uc in uic uiiijuij.kjr. Just 38 years after they won the ballot, women have the edge which they came close to having four years ago.

Then, according to the American Heritage Foundation 30,500,000 of the people who voted were women. Republicans liave said and Democrats denied that it was the women's vote that elected Eisenhower in 1952. Several studies bear out the Republican view and several others support the Democratic rebuttal. Congressional Quarterly, reviewing the evidence, concludes the question is still unsettled. Whatever the case, both parties, and pressure groups within the parties, are concentrating heavily this year on wooing the ladies.

Both major parties have women's divisions: In addition, the GOP has the 18-year-old National Federa tion of Republican Women's Clubs with 4,000 chapters in 46 states. Mrs, Katie Louchheim, boss of the Democratic National Committee's worn en's division, says the number of worn en working for th Democratic cause has increased sharply, i Many candidates have installed women administrators on their campaign staffs and several have women campaign managers. Mrs. Louchheim's opposite number in the GOP, Miss Bertha Adkins, says Re publican women this year are emphasiz ing the "neighbor-to-neighbor, door-to door" approach to campaigns. The GOP Women's clubs are shooting for a mem bership of 1,000,000 this year.

The Fed erations 24-point program includes a plan to train "GOP salesladies." AFL-CIO's Committee on Political Education (COPE) Is busy trying to. or ganize wives, mothers and sisters of trade union members to help in political action. And so it goes, with everyone busy trying to mobilize a women's bloc vote wrhile publicly denying that such is possible. Dr. Gallup would perform a service if he would poll the ladies on what they think about people who try to organize them Into a homogeneous group of think-alikes.

We suspect the results would be chilling. Buy Long, Sell Short The eight-month investigation by the Senate Preparedness subcommittee uncovered some quaint purchasing incidents by the Defense Department. Included in the report are 32 major examples of the 'military "selling property at surplus and then turning around and buying new." The deals wherein the Pentagon sold cheap and bought dear involved Items ranging from hypo dermic needles to road rollers, hacksaw blades to leggings and pots and pans. One of the oddest transactions Vas the Pentagon's sale of 23,000,000 wooden picnic spoons and forks at next to nothing prices at the same time another agency was buying the same items at a premium. The Air Force sold 28,900 pairs of "mitten shells," whatever they are, for $8,670 against an original cost of $94,792.

But that's not half of it; the Air Force was about to buy identical re placements before the subcommittee nixed the deal. Advocates of super-Keynesian eco nomics may approve of this distribution of the wealth as having a vitalizing effect on the national economy. But to most of us it's expensive foolishness. We don't expect ever to see the com plete abolition of in. the military, and such as the above are doubtless trivial when considered as part of the total budget.

But it's hardly unreason able to ask the Pentagon to think twice before giving away 23,000,000 wooden spoons when they are needed. don; who was at Jeff's side. "It's ironlo about these gypsy women," said Debbie. "Their dream is to be light-skinned and fat. Our dream is to be sun-tanned and slim." We listened to the guitars played In the square, the sounds not as pretty as those heard at Vicente or on Madison Avenue.

And then, when the sun wras high, we drove to Irurzun and the orchards of Larumbe, past the poppies which match the red berets of the Basque farmers, through the mountain mists of the Pyrenees, to San Sebastian and the Bay of Biscay. A beautiful resort city, San Sebastian, traditional summer seat of Spain's government. Here Franco soon is expected to announce new liberalizing laws, to keep pace perhaps with the liberalizing laws Introduced into that other dictator nation, the Soviet Union. Even today, at long last, the paintings of Picasso are being shown in his native land. Such changes are easier to make for Franco; unlike Khrushchev, he has no partners.

We drove back into Madrid, past th arroyos and hills which have become studio sites for American film companies. The current one is Stanley Kramer's The Pride And The Passion, a Napoleonic piece being filmed in the various true settings throughout Spain. Sophia Loren, co-star of the movie, defined the Napoleonic temperament a.s "hot and expensive." Her manager quickly explained: "She doesn't understand English. She means warm and expansive." "THE government will cooperate in as--suring memorable American premieres of The Pride And The Passion. It will send an exhibit, 500 Years Of Spanish Art, for the New York.

Washington. Chicago and Los Angeles openings. The exhibit will feature art masterpieces from the Prado Museum as well as Daintings by Picasso. Dali and Miro; Antonio and his dancers; a Spanish fashion show, and Christopher Columbus' original maps and diaries. There are scenes in the movie where Cary Grant first carries Sophia Loren and then Frank Sinatra.

When he was asked if there was any difference he said: "Yes, Sophia is so beautifully counter-balanced." Grant enjoys making movies abroad. It was the desire to see the world, he said, that first drove him to acting. He was 12 then, too young to join the Navy. He knew that actors traveled and so he left home to join a road show. His last picture was made on the Riviera, and this one now is in Spain.

There was a story told, he said, about Patrick Hastings who, soon after he became a judge, reluctantly had to sentence a man he knew and liked. Hastings' sentence was: "Each one of us must be somewhere. I sentence you to 30 years." Actors, said Grant, have to be somewhere, and a distant land is all right with him. His weight is the same as it was 20 years He credits this to simple diet, plus a self-hypnosis taught him by his wife. 'We returned in time for a cocktail party at the American Embassy.

Mrs. Lodge presides at the Embassy's social functions while her husband is on Naval Reserve duty in the Mediterranean. The ambassador doesn't wear his Navy uniform in Spain because he's only a commander, and the people in this military dictatorship might think that this low rank means the U.S.A. holds either him or Spain in low regard.

Mr. Cleveland's operation v.a.s kept secret from the contemporary public. The details were not disclosed until years afterward.
