European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - February 9, 1969, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 8 the stars and stripes sunday february 9, 1969 Max Lerner Powers that be May soon have been the revolt against the revolt ers is on in full swing. I think the historians will say that the three militant latter Day Power movements new left Power student Power and Black Power reached and passed their Crest in 1968 and that then the downward swing began. There was nothing inevitable about it. All three movements could still be mounting steadily in strength if they had been led with any Wisdom and sense of limits for each of them embodied the healthy Core of an idea and each Drew on generous ener Gies. But in each Case their Lead ers overreached grabbing for More making More impossible demands. In their overreaching they out raged the groups of enlightened liberals and moderates a n d struck at the Reservoir of their Good will out of which alone their strength could grow. They also struck fear into the hearts of the Large Middle class. The revolt has been a swing of opinion which showed itself first in France in june after the sorbonne revolution then in the american inner cities where Tut Tut a Mere Sliver of ice the summer s Black revolts had limits set on them by the negro working and Middle class then in the excesses of the school decentralizing movement m new York which turned opinion against More moderate decent trial thing plans in Ether cities then in the " Law and order undercurrent of the presidential Campaign and in Richard Nix on s Victory however close and most recently in the Strong reaction against the extreme de mands for Black control of the Black studies programs on a dozen campuses. William f. Buckley this does t mean of course that the seizure of College build ing s arid the efforts to paralyse University life Are Over but Only that they will find it harder going because the prevailing a nod it against them. In one of the More dramatic recent episodes in fur Type of the London school of ice Nomus a Small group of students Hod a Field Day of Vandal Sruv when Eeme Iran Gates a Ere Pul up m College buildings on the Campus. There was some support for them in a sit in at Cambridge. But for the first time in England a counter movement of students developed both at the University in London and at Cambridge. For the first time also there was some Plain speaking about the revolt by a government spokesman. Edward Short the minister of education arid science in the labor Cabinet was any thing but mealy mouthed about the leaders of the revolt at the London school. They Are out to destroy and disrupt he said in the House of commons. They Are not socialists. They Are. Wrecker c 1969, let Angelee Tolmei a critique of Allen Dulles during the last years of his defensive and the general Clam life or. Allen Dulles was under a subdued a criticism of his relentless attack As the Symbol a fest which sounds faintly of James Bond diplomacy so pm or but Ohleh sol is y gruesomely inappropriate it is held to the realities of Modem politics to such higher sophistication As makes heroes out of Trai tors gods out of Kim Philby and the Rosenbergs. Ramparts mag Azine it would be heartening to refer to the late ramparts except that it will no doubt be succeeded by some thing worse the human imagination being capable nowadays of even that made such reputation As it fleetingly had from exposing that the Cia under or. Dulles had done such outrageous things As subsidize encounter Magazine in London the National students association in the United states and a training program at a Middle Western University for area specialists headed for service in the Cia. For All of this obloquy for or. Dulles. I do believe that he d have been better treated in his late years by some of the press if it had transpired that he had been in collusion with the communists in Pursuit of detente. All of this left or. Dulles on the Roy Wilkins Nixon evades negro Issue an uneasiness with the Nix on administration is stirring among trend watchers in the negro american Community. Secretary Robert Finch of the department of health education and welfare decided to delay for 60 Days the irrevocable Cut off of Federal funds for five Dixie school districts which have not yet satisfactorily desegregated their school systems. The announcement was confusing. First he was reported As cutting off funds then that the funds were being held in escrow still technically at the disposal of the school districts concerned. It appears that Finch did actually Cut off funds but not irretrievably. The districts can claim them if they toe the de segregation Mark within 60 Days. The trouble with this action is that All five districts have a rec Ord of stubborn evasion of effective desegregation plans. They have been warned put on no Tice visited personally and examined warned again and Given deadlines according to Law. They were indifferent to All these efforts to get them to con form waiting no doubt upon the advice of their congressmen for the Advent of the presumably sympathetic Nixon administration. If these districts had been sincere they would have acted Long before january 1969. Now Finch has vindicated their stalling. He might have walked a Tightrope Between the Flat non compliance allegedly urged by a close White House adviser and the Law s Clear pro visions but he did t. He made a Bow to the civil rights forces by failing to pay Over the Federal funds to the districts but he cheered the die hard Southern ers by placing the Money within their reach. Make no mistake about it Finch was subjected to great pressure not a Little of it Deriv ing from the Nixon assurances to Southern delegates to the gop convention in Miami Beach always in the background not too far As to be invisible or even shadowy was sen. Strom thur mond of South Carolina the chief manipulator of the soft on the South As to race policy. But Nixon and Finch Ain t seen nothing yet in the realm of pressure. Most Southern politicians have . Degrees in pressure especially on race. It is a brain lobe tuned to the nth degree. So Nixon and Finch had better make up their minds. They can enforce the Law and Way hold funds. If this is to be their course they ought to act unmistakably. The Pussy footing Days Are Long gone. Fourteen and a half years ago the supreme court spoke. Pour years ago the Congress spoke. Now is hardly the time to seek More time. Or the Nixon administration can delay and vitiate enforce ment thus signalling its own racial segregation policy. This however will be pointing a Back sliding course to pre-1954 and consigning 22 million negro americans to the a lamented separate Bun unequal Era. A rag Star and trl bunt $ Nodi Ata i no. Relevant now that we have once again a Republican administration with critical decisions to make concerning such issues As faced or. Dulles. True there were those who make the whole right entered criticism of or. Dul Les awkward by such surreal isms As that or. Dulles was a communist agent yes that is among the contributions of or. Robert Welch. But the sane voices from the right wondered not that  was involved in subsidizing social political move ments and journals around the Globe but that he selected for patronage the left minded organizations on the Assumption that Only people who occupy a Posi Tion contiguous to that of the people you worry about Are Likely to be effective. Thus in Italy you Deal with the social democrats in preference to t h e Christian democrats. The analogies abound. You Deal with Liberal republicans in America in order to try to satisfy democrats. Rockefeller yes Goldwater no. When time comes to Send around subsidies you Send them around to journals of opinion like the new Leader not to those like the National review. I know one person who did serv ice in Mexico for the Cia who happens to believe profoundly that what would most Benefit the mexican people would be a stiff dose of capitalism so As to free the poor from the sclerosis of years and years of super government. He found himself a dozen years ago serving As a pay master with a wad of Money in an envelope destined for an organization whose principal slogan was in com nismo in capitalism that is to say neither communism nor capital ism leaving Well leaving what Mexico has got. The reasoning As i say is psychologically obvious. The mischief of it Lay in the hesitation of or. Dulles and his superiors to adopt Radical strategy Radical strategy being the defense of conservative institutions and ideas on the altogether reassuring Assumption that they would result in Radical Relief for the wretched of this world. During the Dulles years the resoluteness of our anti communism was never in doubt but the enemy gained vast continents established themselves in Power developed their Hydrogen bombs and missiles and continued to hold us at missile Point. H seems mean to observe at this Point that or. Dulles should have been spared the criticisms of the left so As to expose him self to the criticisms of the right. Let it be recorded at least that he sought to Man Euver within the realpolitik of the postwar Era and that although he May have made bad strategic miscalculations he was made to suffer at the hands of the wrong people.
