power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed In the last I Peter 1:5 'ALK consolidation of Absecon Island communities is revived by formation oL a Exnlorins Question Of Consolidation 1 Chambcr of Commerce committee to conduct a feasibility survey far back as 25 years ago the late Harry Bacharach then mayor of Atlantic City declared a of the four municipalities to be 'in evitable" for economic reasons Residents of Ventnor Margate and Longport looked upon Atlantic City as a big tax spender And not without reason for Atlantic City had to maintain a big convention hall and provide all the improvements and services needed to attract and safeguard millions of visitors The needs of the downbeach communities were few 'and the problems likewise Their citizens pointed to their low taxes They saw Atlantic City paying the lion's share of county taxes and were satisfied with things as they were Since then consolidation has been a recurring issue The intervening years have brought many changes Migration of city residents to outlying towns has increased the population of downbeach communities Expansion has evoked costly problems More paving new schools adequate water supplies drainage and other services and facilities have had to be provided Tax equalization at the county level has increased the burden of the smaller municipalities while casing Atlantic City's Taxes in the downbeach municipalities have soared And the end is not yet in sight Boys nnd girls from the downbeach com munities attend Atlantic City High School Their parents for the most part not only depend either directly or indirectly on Atlantic City for their livelihood but they participate in its social cultural and civic activities They withhold only participation in its political life and the wholesome influence which this might impart Duplication In government as in other things is wasteful and inefficient Common action Is needed to solve common problems There is a lot to be said for home rule and it is never more eloquently done than when jobs and patronage are at stake The question of consolidation is likely to be with us a long time Let's by all means explore all the angles Let the Chamber committee amass the data needed to answer all the questions that are sure to be asked before voters can intelligently make up their minds Meantime civic clubs and other groups in search of a subject for discussion will find this one ready made WALTER LIPPMAN Berlin Gambit Beginning Of Long Game EACH DAY makes it seem more likely that the Soviet move in Berlin is the opening in an extensive diplomatic operation dealing with the whole German question Although the long note from Moscow which was sent last Thursday makes specific proposals about the status of West Berlin its general tenor and the 'text around the proposals suggest very strongly that the Soviet government looks upon West Berlin as an instrument for raising the whole question of Germany or there can hardly be any illusion in Moscow that the Western powers will refuse to evacuate West Berlin and to leave it surrounded by the Red Army and with its communications in control of the East German government The proposals1 about Berlin are a talking point not a serious offer I say this because Mr Khrushchev hasalready said in his press conference that the isix month time limit would not be rigidly adhered if promising negotiations were under way And promising negotiations are not under wayprecautions have already been taken to see to it that nothing portentous happens if authority is transferred to the East German government Mr Dulles has said that we might let East German officials stamp the documents because we would regard these German officials as mere agents of the Soviet government To this the Communist boss of Eastern Germany Mr Ulbricht has replied that he did not care what Mr Dulles called the officials provided they stamped the documents All in all then there is no instant crisis and we are at the beginning of a long game in which the distance runners will do better than the sprinters It is not probable I think that on the whole German question there will be any really serious negotiations for the next two years or a serious negotiation would be one in which at the end of the line the Soviet Army would agree to withdraw from Central and Eastern Europe and back within its own frontiers It is reasonably certain that the Soviet government has not convinced itself that it can withdraw its armv without running a verv great risk of an anti Soviet and an anti Russian explosion among the satellites Yet at the same time there is good reason to believe that the Soviet government lives in dread of another Hungary and realizes that there is a great risk in the continuing military occupation of Eastern Europe On our Western side a serious negotiation is not likely to beein soon because policy is made by Dr Adenauer and Mr Dulles Their terms call for the liquidation of the East German state and the extension of the frontier of NATO to the Polish border This is literally and exactly a demand for the unconditional surrender of the Soviet Union and it is not a negotiating position It is reasonable to assume that the Soviet operation in Berlin is addressed to the German successors of Dr Adenauer and to the American successors of Mr Dulles That is why the gambit in Berlin is only the beginning of a long game Unless all signs fail Dr Adenauer's successors in West Germany though they are as anti Com munist as he is will move away from his absolute position to one in which negotiations with East Germany and with the Soviet Union can take place if and when this change occurs in Ger many the American successors of Mr Dulles will have to change our position On the long view perhaps the greatest risk we are running at present is that we shall become alienated from the Germans who will succeed Dr Adenauer The risk is greater than we realize or our official policy and the authorita tive voices which are raised in this country on the German question are so it seems to me curiously out of date curiously unaware of what the rising political generation are like Before we make any more resounding pro nouncements about the German problem we would do well to explore the situation in Germany with a fresh eye and an open mind and to ask ourselves whether it is still true what was true when Truman and Acheson Eisenhower and Dulles formed our established German policy IXTERWTIXC TH NEWS Extremists Ride De Gaulle Coattails By ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst ears for the future of democ racy in rance are now being more widely expressed than ever because of the number of right ists elected to parliament after bundling themselves in Charles De coattails The leader himself whose elec tion to the presidency is expected to be little more than a formality is depicted as embarrassed His gerrymandering of elec tion districts and voting regula tions designed to wipe out the Communists not only accomp lished his purpose but also wiped out many Moderates and Socialists who are among the natural leaders of rance Jacques Soustelle propelled into the leading role in Parlia ment through his leadership of a wide variety of rightist ele ments who voluntarily grouped themselves around him and tried to assume the aura of De Gaulle was known during the ourth Republic as a wrecker of parlia ments While Soustelle himself is not rabid and while no one is expect ed to offer a frontal challenge to De Gaulle many of those who wrapped themselves in the Sous telle de Gaulle banner are ex tremists STELLA Your Birthday WEDNESDAY December 3 Born today you have a mag netic personality and a deep sense of loyalty which

hate groups and their underground operations) Another secret meeting of the hate mongers took place recently In Louisville Ky It was somewhat similar to the secret meeting inspired by would be fuehrer John Kasper in Washington reported in this column i There seems to be a significant link between those who system alically gVaZt the busiSess of stirring up hate When Wallac Allen was arrested in Atlanta on a charge of conspiring to ow up the synagogue there Mrs Allen immediately telephoned Adm John Crommelin in Wetumpka Ala one of the most notorious hate mongers asking for help While there is no direct evidence that members of these groups of thcinseh es blow up schools and places of worship there is evidence that they gloat over it urthermore hate is contagious The uneducated man who sees a man with a college degree or a retired'admiral preaching hate may get carried away and go to much greater extremes than the man who docs the preaching The last bizarre meeting of the hate groups was called secretly by Dr Edward ields an anti Semite who is seeking to organize a third political party HATE ROLL CALL To this end he has been in contact with the following Admiral Crommelin promoted by the Navy but fired by his civilian superiors for leaking to the press regarding the Air orce Emory Burke gaunt faccd leader of the Columbians a storm trooper outfit broken up by the government in 1946 Bill Hendrix grizzled leader of the lorida Ku Klux Klan once sentenced for sending obscene matter through the mails John Hamilton an associate of the old rabble rouser Gerald Smith Joe Beauharnais fire breathing leader of Chicago defunct White Circle League George Lincoln Rockwell anti Semitic advertising man son of ''Doc" Rockwell a famous rocking chair philosopher and radio comedian of the 1930s John Kasper would he American fuehrer HEIL" The united hate front which ields is trying to organize has adopted the Columbians' old lightning bolt emblem and exen revived its underground newspaper the Thunderbolt More significant the party has taken on the name: National States Rights Party Its rabid literature was found along with some penciled draw ings of the Nazi swastika in the possession of the men recently indicted for dynamiting the synagogue in Atlanta Also picked up were letters from Rockwell some ending with the old Nazi phrase "Sieg Heil" and one mentioning a forthcoming All the indicted men are believed to be members of tha National States Rights Party One of them Kenneth Chester Griffin is the Georgia organizer National chairman of the party is fumbling front man Arthur of La ollette Tenn Mrs Edna Cowan of New Albany Ind is vice chairman and Ned Dupes of Knoxville Tenn is secretarj treasurer Only the "national organizer" has a national reputation in the hate movemt He is Matt Koehl a veteran hate monger from Milwaukee Wis Most colcnul figure at the Louisville convention was the Rev James Cole voulhful North Carolina Klan leader whose hooded followers were routed earlier this year by angry Indians Co showed up for the meeting in dungarees checked shirt and full biblical length beard BEHIND THE UEHRER Though John Kasper holds no official position in the new party he is looked upon as its fuehrer and deserves further study Surprisingly he comes from a moderate family background in Merchantville and received a BS degree at Columbia University Before he gained national notoriety he hung around with a wild cved crowd in New York's Greenwich Village where he was tagged a drifter and a dreamer with a penchant for riding pants boots and dark green shirts He had a strange charm which seemed to attract women particularly widows or married women with money in the bank One victim Mrs Lina Lett lent him $3000 and got back only an I for $400 She is still trying to collect An BI investigation directed by Agent Edward Brandt also discovered that Kasper liked to throw interracial parties and romance Negro girls a curious background for an arch segre gationist The philosopher who first inspired Kaspers movement was the poet Ezra Pound an American turncoat who broadcast tor the Axis during World War II but escaped a treason trial because of mental illness He was committed to St Elizabeth Mental Hospital in Washington where Kasper frequently visited him an virtually worshipped at his feet Kasper helped whip up the clamor for Pound's eventual release and deportation to Italy These are some of the breeders of hate who met secretly in Louisville to organize a third party What went on behind tha closed doors will be told in a future column ALTA STARNES Look Up And Live The teachings of Jesus go straight to the way we are made or our own good as well as for the welfare of others we ara made to live a life of love in action According to our human nature we tend to demand our own rights and to think of ourselves and what we want instead of what is for the good of others It does not take a wise man or a sage to recognize that we hurt other people when we selfishly demand our own way ana attempt to gratify our own desires But it takes more wisdom and maturity to realize that our own interests also suffer when we forget the interests of those about us There are three important questions we can ask ourselves that will help us tn dealing wisely and kindly with those around us irst do I habitually insist upon mv own rights even when they conflict with the rights of other people? Although we often think of what we term rights we should become more aware of our right" to minister to the needs of others even when costly from our own point ot UGV Second' am I alert for a constructive way of dealing with troublesome inter personal relations? If we can keep foremost the idea of dealing constructively with people and situations we will find wavs to solve our difficulties which will prove mutually beneficial to' all concerned In the famous chapter on love Phillips renders this passage as for a way of being constructive To understand and to apply this passage is a great accomplish ment Such a point of view is in perfect harmony with the way we are made to live and to function Another important question we can ask and from which vve can learn much about ourselves and how to deal with others is this Do I often impute wrong motives to other people or do I most always expect the best of them? We can be surprised if we stop to consider how often we believe others to have a wrong motive If we are willing to take the trouble to find out vve will often see what we thought was a wrong motive was perfectly honorable and good intentions It is decidedly to our own benefit to be able to believe the best about others There are many other ways in which we can help ourselves to be of more worth to others and ourselves but the three just cited have to do with principles vve do well to respect PRAYER: Help me to see that I sacrifice my own welfare when I hurt another person Read Romans chapter 12 and the book of James So They Say If a child doesn't learn to read and do arithmetic in school never learn anywhere else It is to be hoped that we can teach him much more than that But vve must teach him at least that Dr Carl Hansen District of Columbia superintendent of schools curtailing education ragile slender and sentimental that the exploiting classes regard as pretty are ugly and degenerate to the working people Look at the girls active in the so lithe so vigorous and their 'whole being resplendent with the charm of Soong Ching Ling member of the (Red) Chinese People's National Congress It will be nice to be back on second base again no fun moving but got a job to dp Infielder Billy Martin traded to Cleveland Indians by Detroit.
