MacArthur Items Featured
In Library's Barkley Room
A special showing of letters, newspaper clippings and
other items concerning
Alben V. Barkley's
connection with the controversial recall of General
Douglas MacArthur from
Korea in 1931 now is on display in the Barkley Boom of
the University Library.

The display also contains a
galley proof of then
Berkley's comments on the
controversy, as related in Bark-ley- 's
book, "That Reminds Me."
In the book, Barkley defended
President Truman's decision to
recall MacArthur
the
during
Korean crisis. Barkley termed
the situation "an embarrassing
problem" for Truman and all
his advisers.
r)
"I had long admired him
and felt a sort of family
as my youngest
connection,
daughter (Laura) is married to
h i s nephew
and namesake
(Douglas MacArthur II). General MacArthur,
at that time
Chief of Staff of the Army, had
attended their wedding in my
home at Washington," Barkley
related.
As further., explained In the
book, Truman telephoned Barkley while the vice president was
recovering from an eye operation
at Bethesda Naval Hospital, asking the Kenturkian to meet with
president and his advisers to
discuss the MacArthur situation.
Barkley replied that he could
not attend such a conference for
about three days. Truman then
proposed meeting with Barkley
at the hospital, but agreed it
would be Inadvisable when Barkley pointed out that the visit
would touch off speculation as to
the purpose of the conference.
Barkley related that he did
meet with a group Including the
president several days later, after
Truman already had met with
other., advisers... Among., those
present at the meeting which
liarkley attended were General
Omar Bradley, then head of the
Joint Chief of Staff; General

George C. Marshall,

and Secre-

tary of State Dean Acheson.

"After ascertaining
from the
military men present that there
was no possibility of compromise,
I declared that If it were a
choice between relieving Oen-er- al
MacArthur entirely or allowing him to continue In command In the face of his virtual
defiance of the Commander in
Chief, I saw no other course but
to relieve him," Barkley wrote.
The UK collection also contains Barkley's reply to a Chicago woman who demanded to
know "where, when and how"
offense occurred.
MacArthur's
Barkley replied that much of his
information was based upon rec

by the Defense
and the National
Department
Security Council and 'received
by me In confidence."
The UK exhibit also Includes
a newspnper photograph, dated
April 20, 1951, showing Barkley
at a luncheon the previous day
in honor of General and Mrs.
MacArthur. Host for the affair
was Congressman
Joseph W.
Martin Jr., who made public the
letter from
MacArthur which
precipitated the crisis. The luch-eo- n
was given immediately after
MacArthur's appearance before a
joint session of Congress.
The UK Library exhibit is open
to the public during regular library hours.

Civil Rights Bill:
First Step To Equality
Passage of the civil rights bill
would mark a tentative beginning of
equality for the American Negro and
a hope for future equality for other
minority groups.
Among the 10 provisions of the
bill, each Negro would be given, by
law, the right to vote, the freedom
to enjoy the services of restaurants,
theaters, hotels and motels, to utilize
public facilities, to receive equal public education, and to be given equal
employment opportunities.
The bill would alleviate much of
the misery and bitterness which has
resulted from Americans' past discriminatory actions.
Fassage of the bill would give the
American Negro, as Senator Humphrey said, "the same rights and the
same opportunities that white Americans take for granted."
Perhaps with the passage of the
bill more thoughtful consideration and
personal evaluation may be given to
the other minority groups throughout
the nation who have been discriminated against in more subtle methods
than the Negro.
The Chinese in San Francisco and

other parts o California, the Japanese in Seattle, the Mexicans in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, the
Puerto Ricans and Cubans in Florida
and the Eastern States, the American
Indian, and the Jewish race meet
segregational policies daily. Their
fight for freedom has yet to reach
the national heights which the Negro
lias done in the past few years.
This subtle type of discrimination
goes on every day in every city and
in every town to every minority group.
In Americans who call themselves
free citizens, this prejudice exists
whether they are Protestant, Jewish,
or Catholic, Indian or Oriental, Hindu
or Buddhist, white or black.
If hope is to be established for
the many unfairly-treate- d
minority
groups, it must come from the entire
American
The Civil
population.
Rights legislation for the Negro is
only a factor in fighting all types of
segregation.
The thousand mile journey toward
freedom from discrimination of all
sects must begin with one step, the
passage of the civil rights bill.

Diplomacy:
Right-OWrong
Britain has done well in the Security Council to accept the good offices
(if the United Nations Secretary-Centra- l
in trying to prevent further incidents along the border between the
Yemen and the
d
n
of Southern Arabia.
All governments make mistakes
and Britain cretainly did with its punitive raid against a fort w ithin Yemeni
territory. Several British newspapers
report that the raid, which had the
approval of Commonwealth and Co

lonial Secretary Duncan Sandys, was
opposed within the British Cabinet
by Foreign Secretary R. A. Butler.
If that is so, it is a pity that Mr. Butler's advice did not prevail w ith Prime
Minister Douglas-Home- ,
Britain somehow seems to be susceptible to the same kind of mistaken
judgments about the Middle East that
the United States makes about Latin
America. The results only compound
the difficulties which beset each country in those respective areas.
In Britain's case, the Cabinet in
London believes it must maintain a
base at Aden part of the Federation
of Southern Arabia to be able to
offer a defensive umbrella to the oil
reserves on the Persian Gulf upon
which Britain is still dependent for
much of its industrial power. That is
understandable. What is not is that
Sir Alec Douglas-Hom- e
and Mr.
Sandys should have thought that
"gunboat" diplomacy could still be
infective in dealing with the Arabs.
The irony is that the consequences
could make Britain's long-tertenure
at Aden even less likely than it was
before. But if anything can salvage
something for Britain out of tin's
blunder, the conciliatory diplomacy
now belatedly being tried in the
Security Council is the way to set
about it.

Negroes In Athletics:
Question Of Distortion
Not One Of Color
To The Editor:
A recent sports column in one of

our local papers dealt with the first
basketball tryout of a Negro University of Kentucky freshman. It described a slightly built Negro who
was "definitely out of place, talent-wiswas about 5 foot 10 and quickly gave evidence of being a poor field
goal shooter."
More was noted: "Coach Adolph
Rupp explained the youngster was a
student who wanted to try out for
the team, a privilege given to any
student in good standing at UK. He
would be judged strictly on talent,
not race, but it was doubtful if the
Negro would survive the 'cut.' He
hadn't even made the first team in
high school. The boy was on the first
list of candidates to be cut from the
squad. The incident closed without
fanfare."
In the interest of honest inquiry
other information should be in evidence. Paul Brown, a slim 6 foot
Negro freshman, who played three
years on the first team, was this athlete. During his last year (1962-1963- )
Taul made the
team and
bis team won the District championship. More recently, this "poor field
goal shooter" made 26 points against
one of the better area amateur teams
while two boys who had played with
the UK freshman basketball team contributed eight and 10 points.
In a more recent sports column
the following was reported: "Brad-shav- v
said his assistants have combed
the state for talent this year, and
there lias been no Negro players
worthy of a scholarship offer here."
Surely this is not a question of ability
or potential. If it is, it certainly reflects poorly on those selecting the
a
and
teams. If it is
a question of scholarship, perhaps
Coach Bradshaw could make public

the high standards of College Board
scores for our present football players.
People, pro or con integration of
athletics or anything else, can easily
read between the lines. It was not
really a question of vvhethcr or not
Paul Brown could make the squad.
The University was not ready for
a Negro basketball
player last
Unseld
a Ceorge
fall, be he
(Louisville Seneca, now an
selection at Kansas) or Oscar
Robertson. They are not ready for a
Negro footballer this spring, be he a
Sherman Lewis (Louisville Manual,
now an
selection at
Michigan) or a Jim Brown and they
are not ready to recruit a Richard
and
Creen (an
selection from Lexington Dunbar) for
next season. Let us call a spade
x
"
v
spade and not distort.
It is significant that Paul Bowen
played with a team which this year
caused a community league to be integratedwithout commotion or incident. Perhaps the State University
of Kentucky can follow the community's example, if not the example of
most of the other colleges and communities in Kentucky, let alone
around the nation.

It is indeed "not a question of
color" as one column has correctly
indicated; it is not a question of
choosing your neighbor or which of
your fellow taxpayers may compete in
athletic events at the State University; it is not even a question of the
economics of spending all that time,
energy and perhaps even money
around the country in attempting to
recruit white boys who are as good
as the local Negro boys; it is a question of distortion; it is a question
of University leadership.
