The South still accedes to Negro demands relnctantly, surrendering only token bits and pieces." In spite of what at t ; u»es appear* to bf a raintlritar slow growth and reluctance of the soulffertl —more on account of a d-ep seated Inferiority com plex than reason—the baby is alive, kicking, cra-.viing and possessed with an abundant amount of energy end health.

Of cotirie, It's easy *to overdo the small talk, but that's another si^tv. Each fedf I am finding it increasingly dif ficult to define the elusive quality that marks the best salesmanship.

Here wc think TIME strikes a telling blow at one of the most basic causes of the slow growth of the 'Other South" i.x the New South.

God is in Christ to reconcile or briny man back to a stale of happy, joyous living. God humbled himself and put oa our garments of flesh to heal us and bring us back into the divine fold. Sinful estrange ment leads to unhappiness but through faith and repentance we can find happy reunion, with God, in Christ our Savior. This reconciliation is one of the crying needs of our times. Men are split into warring frag ments. Souls apart from God are sick with their warped aril dis torted minds. The divisiveness of races, sp-called, have brought a fearsome harvest of fear, suspi cion and misery. In this area there is a need for the healing touch of a loving reconciliation.

It is at this point of recon ciliation that laymen in the church must assure a more vital role. A little Sunday effort Is not enough. Reconciled souls should go forth from the worship of the Church to become agents of re conciliation—a leaven penetrat ing ail leveLs of society. This ministry of reconciliation should b; carried on in the home, the newspaper office, the market place, civic groups. The Christian wherever he is should be Christ's agent of reconciliation. God grant that this great spirit ual truth may come to the fore for every redeemed soul "That God was in Christ reconciling the •jrorld unto himself."

THIORIDAZINE FAVOKED FOR MENTALLY ILL CHARLOTTE Thioridazine is the "preferred" drug for treating agitation, restlessness, confusion, and anxiety among geriatric patients because it pro duces relatively few side effects* This is the ctfnehlaion drawn by Dr. Sidney Cottefl, Chief of of the Payctoomatfc Service, Vet erans Administration Hospital, Lot Angeles, based on • study of geriatric psychofbanagcM- Mfc. i St ifcki* Jobinson In the welter of anguished headlines about racial stiife and the ugly reflections of the inhumanity of our times, we often fail to note the powerful, quiet programs which are be ing conducted to advance the march of humanity. Such a project Is called to our attention by Jerome S. Hardy, an erstwhile golf part ner, who is sacrfic:ng a great deal of time and energy t? dis charge his duties as the chair man of The New York Commit tee of a magnificently humane program called Project Hope. HOPE is a hospital ship which carries aroupd th« world to hundreds of thousands in Asia. South America and Afri ca- the best America can offer In medical services and peo ple who teach professional counterparts in developing na tions. The latter, in turn, pass on the information and skills to younger people of their own countries. Dr. William B. Walsh organi ed H O P E in 1958 On its maiden voyage to Indonesia in IS6O. 200 doctors and 300 nur ses ware given special training 18,000 patients were treated and 700 operations performed Thousands of people were X rayed and examined. In 1961. in South Viet Nam, 500 major operations were perfonned. Then in 1963. HOPE moved in on the Latin- American front During 10 months in Pere. &> 000 persons were directly aid ed by HOPE services-and ssve i\ 1 hundred thousand South TO BE EQUAL By Whitn*y M. Yovng Jr. CRIME, NEGROES AND THE POLICE "Poverty," wrote the learned Greek philosopher Aristotle, "is the parent of revolution and crime." If it is not the major cause of crime in this country today, it must still be courted among the leading causes. If. of late, it appears to be increasing more rapidly in the surburb; than in our big cities proper, we must add to our list of culprits the alienation of the rich as well as the destitution of the poor. Perhaps one reason crime irg than among the poor is that among the rich is less unsettl it tends to be more of the "white collar" variety-the bank embezzler, ferger, bad chock writer and the like. For example, in 1982 a tvpi cal year, a total of 17.925 Ne groes were arrested for armed robbery, compared with 12 6G4 lor whites, even though Ne groes make up but 10 percent of the population. By comparison, some 27,000 whites were arrested for em bezzlement and fraud compar ed to 6,000 Negroes; 17,000 whites were arrested for coun terfeiting compared to 3,800 Negroes; 145 whites were ar- Negroes; 145.000 whites were arrested for drunken driving ompared to 28.00 Negroes. c It is from the poorest ranks of oilr society from which those who commit the most heinous crimes of violence, seem to be recruited. And since an out sized proportion of Negroes live in poverty in this country today. It seems to follow that the "armed robbery" figures are What you'd expect. These are the crimes which capture the headlines. Hence, the public begins to get the im pression ttuil all crimes are committed by Negroes, al though the arrest figures show a startling opposite picture. From all the evidence which the Urbail League can gather, ogy Dr. Cohen presented his find ings in a scientific exhibit at the anhitfll meeting of the North Carolina Medical Society which ended hare recently, th addi tion to his VA pott. Dr. Cohen is an associate clinical prefeft sor of medicine at the Univer sity of California College of Medicine in Los Angeles. While phenothlazines (the claas Of chemicals to Which thio ridazine, named Mellaril, be longs) are generally excellent for th* psychochemical treat ment of geUatrlc patients. Dr. Cohen points out, "ire prefer thioridazine became Of its rel ative Uek at aide effects." Americans were helped Indir ectly. Now. IIOPE has sent medical fams to Africa while cohtln ulng to work in SaignMpTru jillo and Ecuador. Vice President Hubert Bnm phrey. Commenting accomplished by has said. "There Is riw one thing wrong with jßrpJect HOPE, namely, that IfcsLtelsts of orly one shift wKSppd many more like it. It all Americans to help support the work of this floating AflHcan medical center with ncial rntributions." Paul Felix Warburg; Aard Member of the Projec},jt« re cently returned from dwjfcry, Guinea. In Africa, whfTCthe good shin HOPE. Is curHHitly docked. Here is his rewtton to what he observed: >»ift "To see our doctors an#*iitrte* in action, working withr'thelf Guinean counterparts, 1* somS thing I will never impact on the people of back ward nations-such as (Guinea makes cne realize wflsft the good ship HOPE means in good wi!! between the people of for eign lands and our courlry."

The most promising factor for reducing crime, at least among Negro citizens, Is th? steady opening up of equal op portunities for them at all lev els. in education, housing and iobs, where a real chance tor betterment awaits. It has been noted on more than one oc casion. by the way, that durinS civil rig ht s demonstrations, crime among Negroes disap peared. presumably becaus'i hope for a better life was'lleld forth. The same I would say is Irui fir poor whites. If the image of the criminal of violence in our northern cities Is tha&ctf th« b'ack man. In man£ cities is that of the p«>r 'hit? man.

The Ku Klux Klan, like the black hatldhaliStS. *ill n"ver survive the blows of pO|»- ular education universally ap l plied. These ggroups, so proni to violence, feed on ignorance and despair;so do crimes of violence. Explaining that the elderll are more prone to chemically induced Parkinsonism tremor! than younger patients, Dr Co hen noted that "thioridazine produces chemical Parkinson' ism less often than any other phenothiazine." In addition, hit exhibit showed that, in the restless or anxious depressed agged patients, "thioridaxine has been found to be at least as effective as established antide pressants."
