PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Riots for Freedom And Riots of Revelry The Newport Jazz Festival, an annual three-day per formance by outstanding jazz artists at the Rhode Island resort, was halted and the last three sessions cancelled this weekend when college students . erupted in a dev astating riot, leaving injured policemen and citizens, extensive property damage and piles of shattered beer bottles in their wake. The Festival is always a big drawing attraction for college jazz fans and this year it drew too many. Not all could get tickets for the performances and the resulting riot may have killed the festival for good. • Bellicose, drunken students destroying property and limb somehow seem in typify an all too prevalent attitude of the American college set. While,•students across the world hold organized mass demonstrations for freedom, the future leaders of Ameri ca make sport by throwing beer cans at policemen. Evidently miffed by the lack•of opportunity to fight off encroaching Communist tanks as the Hungarian stu dents did or despose an oppressing dictator like the stu dents in Turkey, these staunch young American citizens decided to display their bravado anyway in a gusty, pointless drunken brawl. While students in Hungary, Turkey, Korea and, yes, even Japan take the lead in cleaning up their govern ment, ensuring civil rights, and fighting for what they sincerely believe to be the best interests of their country, the best American students seem to be able to do to dis play their motivating drives is engage in destructive revelry. And the few serious students who demonstrate for some long-forgotten and obscurred ideal as equal rights are laughed at in the North and jailed in the South. Yet this generation of this most powerful of the free countries is the generation to which millions of free people look as the protector of freedom and the hope to which ~an equal number of oppressed peoples cling for restoration of their human heritage. A rather shaky foundation to harbor such' trusts.

Interpreting Truman's Charge Linked to Pauley's Edwin W. Pauley's statement that Chairman Paul M. Butler has enough tickets to fix the Democratic convention if he plans to do so may have some connection with Harry S. Truman's charge that there are aspects of a "pre-arranged affair." The Los Angeles oil man and Truman are close political associates Pauley was originally chairman of the citizens committee which made financial arrange ments for the convention to be held in Los Angeles. He demanded 5.000 tickets. Butler demurred. The quarrel went on for months. Finally Pauley resigned from the host committee which then accepted 1,500 tickets • t, If factions against Sen. John F. Kennedy now intend to become specific on Tru man's charge ROOERTS that the proceedings have been "prearranged" to favor Kennedy, will the ticket fight come back into the limelight? Under certain circumstances, ticket distribution can be an im portant factor at a convention. Politicians will long remember what Wendell Wilkie did io the Republican convention in 1940 with his gallery stampede. Delegates, too are always in need of tickets for their friends, ACROSS 1 "Simple as —" 4 Sheet metal. 9 The third base man's number. 13 Gehrig of base• ball. 14 Expose to air. 16 Etats 17 Westminster Pal ace assembly. 19 Teaspoons: Abbr. 20 Important Lon- don street. 21 Sick in bed: 2 words. 23 Abbreviation for a kind of silver. 25--More regretful. 28 Mystics of the Ist century. 31 Remains station ary with the head to the wind: Naut.: 2 words, 32 Military officer. 33 Gaza 35 Eat. 36 Snakes. 37 Sacred book in Arabic. 38 Fashioned. 39 Anne de Beaupre. 40 Kind of car. 41 Lavishes great affection (on).

Answer on Page Seven • WEDNESDAY, JULY 6, 1960 and those who have them to give have just that much more influ ence. Kennedy obviously realizes that his comparative youth militates against him in many minds. When Truman brought it up along with the "prearrangement" char g e, Kennedy devoted most of his at tention to it. He scored against Truman when he pointed out that of 10 men the former president thought were better qualified than Kennedy, one man was only one year older and one was a year younger. Lyndon Johnson made a point in his statement announcing his candidacy when he said the world aspect of the presidency had changed since the preconvention campaign began. That may have more effect on the presidential campaign than on the conventions. Certainly people are trying harder now to perceive just which candidates will look best next year when restoration of communication with the Soviet Union will begin, with all of its portent for the nation's future.
