Point of Order
The 1960 census produced no sur-
prise When it disclosed that an increas-
ing proportion of Americans are living
today in urban areas. It's a long-term
trfcnd and it will gp on running for
decades to come.
Since this country is therefore more
and more an urbanized society, we
must face with some discomfort the
fact that our cities and suburbs are
badly disorganized places to live.*
Few cities were well plnaped to be-
gin with, or have managed to impose
effective plans in their later develop-
ment. But virtually all are now en-
gulfed by new population waves that
would stagger even the beat laid plena.
In the worst of circumstances, life
in some of our cities has thus taken on
what one economist fpl described as
an “unhinged” quality. Chaos and con-
fusion are the rule.
Traffic is in turmoil. Public places
often are overrun with pushing, .shov-
ing throngs. Neither manner# nor oth-
er leemental disciplines appear to pre-
vail. Crime and corruption are mare
common than ever.
The really damaging aspect of all
. this is that after a time it comes to be
widely viewed as “natural." The at-
titude grows that confusion and plan-
lessness and lack of discipline are nor-
mal.
As this is the age of the exeuse,
when failure is presented as little dif-
ferent from success by some apologists
for the “easy way,” so it is the time
of doing what comes naturally.
The disorderliness of so many of
our cities is consequently accepted as
inevitable, as proof to some that peo-
ple are' being accorded their proper
freedom from restraint.
But if it is natural to seek free rein,
to move in some disorder, it is also
pre-eminently human to establish pat-
terns of order that make our collec-
tive life more manageable, more mean-
ingful and more richly .satisfying.
Human achievement demands that
men have a sense of order about their
affairs. Since so many Americans now
live in or near cities, they cannot hope
to measure up to their fullest stature
if they are to be caught up constantly
in chaos.
That chaos is natural only if men
are viewed through the narrowest
lens. The really great thing about
them is their capacity to funltion al-
most without limit, to use their distinc-
tive brains to force their will upon the
world about them—to shape and plan
their destinies in good order,
When they can do that consistent-
ly in the complex city civilization of
today, then they will truly be doing
what Comes naturally.

By W. C. Rogers
“WHAT AM I doing .here?” novelist Jesse
Stuart writes me not from his native Kentucky
hills but from Cairo. “I am teaching at Amir-
jean University. I teach in Education and

.So I’ve just read “God’s Oddling: The
Story of Mick Stuart, My Father” (McGraw-
Hill; $4.95), and "what-a-father” is the least
to be said about this indomitable, indefatig-
able coal miner, railroad laborer, farmer, horse
trainer —- "the least book-educated hut the
best earth-educated people 1 have ever
known,” as Stuart describes both parents in
his book.
The book is a collection of short pieces
but they add up to a loving portrait of a man
who first taught hi* a#n to “see the hea«ty in
bills,« "the first man I ever heard sgf a snake
was pretty,v t.h* one from wham he learned
that '•work with my hands was henotable,H,
the man who cried, “l love land. I can’t get
enough of it.”
There are sad storie* about the death of
Old-Dick the mule and Qld Black-goy—who
would have been the gover nor .of Kentucky if
he’d only been a man instead of a dog; and
son»e cheerfgl ones about Pa the sharp trader
who might lose in a swap of mules but could
worry the price of # fine heifer down from
1100 to |30. Particularly you relish the in-
exhaustible details of country life, primitive,
with 1°° many hardships, yet providing bask
human satisfactions denied, it seems, forever

Stuart ends hi* letter: "I hope I did him
justice ang paid trilpile to *n unknown aver-
age-American father. The record of hi* chil-
dren is In •‘God’s Odd ling’ but I hope I put
his record there, too.” He did, and it’s a
fine heart-warming tribute.
... This is thet8th hook, besides some juve-
niles, from a writer perhaps best known for
“Man Pith # Hull-Tongue Plow'’ and “Taps

While there is but little sup-
port for communism in Japan,
there has developed a strong
pacifist and neutralist attitude
encouraged in the period of
the occupation by American
policy. As the one nation that
has actually suffered atomic-
attack and is at the same time
particularly exposed to the fall-
out resulting from Soviet nu-
clear tests, the Japanese as a
people gre passionately oppos-
ed to the new weapons and to
every aspect of nuclear war.
The growth of neutralist senti-
ment has led to noisy agitation
against the alliance with the
United States and Ln opposition
to the use of Japanese bases
for purposes of nuclear war-
fare.
India, though not definitely
aligned with the nation* of the
free world, has, however, chos-
en the democratic road. Its ex-
ample is crycial to the further
development of representative
instituttonH in other Asian
countries.
It is therfore in the interest
of the United States to lend
India sympathy and support.
The problem of economic de-
velopment in India is of such
magnitude that large-scale as-
sistance on a long-term basis is
itidispensible. For the sake of
the huge Indian population as
well as for the safeguarding of
free institutions in Asia, the
United SHgtes should continue
to give unstinting, long-term
economic and technical aid.
At the same time the United
States should use it* influence
in behalf of compromise in the
qisrpute between India and Dak-
istan over Kashmir, and should
give India all appropriate dip-
lomatic support in resisting the
territorial claims of Commun-
ist China in the flimaiayan
area.
The situation in Southeast
Asia is *t heat precarious. Sev-
eral «f the state* are united in
defensive alliance with the
I United States gird other na-
[tions of the free wpvld. These
states, for the most part newly
independent, lack stability gnd
power and are directly exposed
to Cuimnuniat pressure and
subversion.
The United States has a gen-
uine interest jn aiding them to
organize a»4 strengthen their
military defenses and gt the
same time in contributing to
the establishment anl develop-
ment of representative institu-
tion* (,y providing economic
and technical support.
The military resources of the
Southeast A-Qia Treaty Organi-
zation are necessarily limited.
The future of the area will
therefore depend largely oh
the increase of stability through
prosperity and confidence.
