Capital May Become Race Show Window

By LYLE C. WILSON I United Press International c WASHINGTON, D.C., is likelyly * to become th# United States’ race j relations show window with a Ne- , gro mayor and City Council under a home rule plan proposed by President Kennedy. t American diplomats have been c clamoring for just such a show f window. They want an American c race relations exhibit to offset I worldwide publicity of race vio- J lence in Washington and several r southern states.

It would provide for the election of a mayor and City Council to govern the District of Columbia subject to considerable surveillance and veto authority reposed in the President and in Congress. Three commissioners appointed by the President now conduct the district government with Congress functioning as a city council. One of the three commissioners appointed by Kennedy is a Negro, John B. Duncan, the first of his race in that job. The nation's capital probably has the fastest growing Negro population in the world. Census returns show that from 1940 to 1960, the district’s Negro population increased by 224,000. The white population decreased in the same period by about 130,000. Negroes outnumbered whites in 1960 by 411,000 to 345,000. A more recent calculation fixes the percentage of Negroes in that district’s population at 53.9. If the Kennedy home rule bill is enacted and if, again, the Negroes vote as a bloc, the nation’s capital likely would have an all-Negro municipal administration. The Kennedy plan provides for an elected mayor to serve four years at a salary of $20,000. There would be a municipal council of seven members, one to be nominated from each of seven wards. There is a further provision, however, that all council candidates shall run at large. With all council candidates running at large, the indicated majority of Negro voters in Washington could elect a mayor and all seven council members. The argument in behalf of the Kennedy proposal, of course, is that since Negroes are a majority in the District of Columbia they are entitled to control the municipal government if they are so inclined. The importance of the Negro majority in Washington is not limited to municipal politics. The 23rd Amendment to the Constitution adopted recently permits Washington residents to participate in presidential elections. The district will have three votes in the electoral college. These electors, like the proposed councilmen, will run at large. The Negro majority will be in a position to chopse its favorites in such .a winner-take-all contest. a

Nikita Leadership Role Under Review

By K.C. THALER United Press International PARIS (UPI) — Despite claims from Moscow that all is well in the Kremlin there is growing conviction that Premier Nikita Khrushchev's leadership role is under review. The belief in some of Western Europe’s best informed diplomatic circles is he is seriusly considering giving up some of his control, perhaps by surrending the premiership while retaining the office of first secretary of the Communist party—the office that really counts in the Soviet Union and wields the most power. As party secretary Khrushchev still could direct foreign affairs as well as continue running the internal Communist scene, Stalin did it in his time. There is nothing in this thinking that denies Khrushchev’s hold on the Kremlin leadership- It is his own hand-picked team that is running things and the repeated expressions of loyalty from its topmost members must be taken at face value. Talk of a Kremlin “minority” and “majority” tussling for control is discounted in most confidential diplomatic advices from Moscow. Nevertheless there are new and heavy pressures on Khrushchev, not the least of them the SinoSoviet ideological conflict. It is only a few weeks ago that Red China was disclosed to have called for the ouster of the present Kremlin leaders, presumably including Khrushchev himself. Since then Peking has fostered the idea that Khrushchev’s days in power are numbered. Without necessarily accepting that Peking will succeed in its drive to get new leadership in the Kremlin, Western diplomatic reports do say that Khrushchev is more fully preoccupied and more deeply concerned by the pressures from Peking than is conceded by Moscow. It is for this reason credence is given to the possibility he may want to free himself of some of his burdens ■ ■ ' 11 '—’ 5" ' """" ■ '

of state, to give more attention to the dispute with Mao Tze-tung without abandoning his major powers at home. Should Khrushchev give up the premiership the man rated most likely to take the post is Deputy Premier Frol Kozlov who already is handling many day to day chores previously done by Khrushchev. Kozlov at 54 is one of the younger men in the Kremlin’s top echelon and since his appointment as a first deputy premier in 1958 he has been widely regarded as Khrushchev’s heir apparent. Cuban Communist Membership Double WASHINGTON (UPI) — Cuban Communist party membership doubled in 1962, according to the State Department. In an annual report on the membership of Communist parties around the world, the department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research Monday estimated about 60,000 Cubans were party members at the beginning of this year, compared with 27,000 listed a year earlier. The report estimated there are 40 million to 41 million members of Communist parties in 90 countries around the world. Last November the Soviet journal Pravda claimed there were 42,500,000. The Department estimated there are 10 million party members in the Soviet Union. The intelligence report said that in general there were no startling trends in membership around the world since the previous year. But it said party membership increased in three Latin American countries. These were Chila, formerly 18,000-20,000, now 20,000-25,-000; Peru, formerly 5,000-7,000, now 8,000-10,000; Venezuela, formerly 20,000, now 30,000. Membership in Paraguay declined from 5,000 to 3,000-4,000. _______
