NATIONAL WINDOW

By Lyle Wilson Editor James J. Kilpatrick of the Richmond (Va.) News Leader faults the U.S. Senate for voting again for home rule in the District of Columbia without spreading on the record of debate the uneasy racial aspects of the proposal. House action on home rule for the nation's capital is up next. It Is likely one or more angry white supremacists In

i the House will raise the race issue in connection with D.C. home rule. But there was not in the Senate nor is there likely to be in the House a calmly respectable consideration of several startling facts of which most Americans are unaware. These facts are that Negroes in the District of Columbia outnumber whites by about 75,000, that the public schools are about 85 per cent Negro and

that the home rule setup as proposed probably would establish a Negro government In Washington, D.C. On the U.S. Senate floor and in committee there was a disposition to brush such facts under the rug. SupI porters of home rule for Washington suggested during Senate committee hearings that some of the opposition to home rule was based on racial considera- : tions. Home rule opponents generally denied in tones of shocked innocence that they were not at all swayed by racial considera- ! tions. But anyone familiar with the district by reason of long residence would know the out-

numbered white community la divided on the matter of home rule. This division extends to members of Congress other than the fire breathing segregationists from Southern states. Race and fear of a Negro government in Washington are the basis of division among the outnumbered whites. The congressional segregationists on half a dozen occasions have prevented the House passing a home rule bill that already had Senate approval. They could not accomplish this alone, however. The House segregationists needed help and they got it.

It will not be easy In this year of civil rights for members of the House to oppose home rule In the nation's capital. American Negroes are coming to realize their power as voters. They can and probably will penalize a great many congressmen who dare to vote against home rule. Therefore, it seems possible Congress will enact home rule this year for the nation’s capital and that there will be a Negro dominated government in Washington, D.C. Such a de- ' velopment would be good or I bad, according to the prejudices I of the individual.

All Aid Out For Dominicans WASHINGTON UPI — The United States has cut of fall financial aid to both factions in the Dominican Republic until they agree on formation of a provisional government, the State Department disclosed. Officials asknowledged that the move was designed to bring pressure on the junta headed by Brig. Gen. Antonio Imbert Barrera and the rebel group headed by Col. Francisco Camaano Deno to agree to plans

for an intermin government for-1 mulated by the Organization of American States OAS. Meantime, the Organization of American States OAS, in a related development, provided the , means for a Dominican accord. It unveiled an institutiona,! act which the Inter-American organization hopes will serve as a constitution for a provisional government. The act was to be 1 submitted later today to leaders of the opposing sides in the is- | land republic. The OAS said the provisional government would "be formed immediately by Dr. Hector Gar-cia-Godoy.” Garcia-Godoy has

been mentioned several tlmss before as a compromise choice. He is a former minister of foreign affairs under ex-President Juan Bosch.
