...White Boycott? But planned integration of the classrooms has not proceeded without white opposition. Last month Chicago finally agreed to experimental "clusters" of schools that draw students from white and Negro neighborhoods. When the plan's author, University of Chicago Sociologist Philip M. Hauser, visited the city's Bogan district to explain the project, he was greeted by 200 white pickets, who hooted and cursed him from the audience. In riot-rocked Philadelphia, the school board plans to bus Negroes from overcrowded slum schools to white schools that are half-empty as a result of a big Roman...
Last week a state supreme-court justice rejected a P.A.T. petition to force, in effect, a referendum on the board's plan to integrate ten schools this year by "pairing." P.A.T. promptly threatened a white boycott of the schools on opening day next week-a move that would counterpoint the Negroes' paralyzing one-day boycott last February...
...group of Tory M.P.s last week told the British government about a Southern Rhodesian plan, which, in addition to the agreement with Portugal, supposedly calls for 1) dictatorial rule by Smith as part of a triumvirate; 2) arrest and expulsion of the British Governor and military commander; 3) trade boycott of Northern Rhodesia; 4) seizure of all means of communication. To make all this more palatable to Britain, Smith is reportedly ready, even after a break, to offer continued loyalty to the Crown...
Some of the holes in the boycott are winked at by the Arabs. Hilton hotels and Trans World Airlines go on operating in Egypt-even though both also operate in Israel-because President Nasser is aware that they bring in tourist dollars. Blacklisted firms are tolerated by some Arab states if their products are badly needed. Though both have been on the blacklist for some time, Continental Motors still ships parts to Jordan, and Fairbanks, Morse goes right on selling water pumps to Arab nations...
...Slowdown. The Arab boycott is a nuisance to Israel, if only because it deprives Israel of the Arab market, a $50 million export area that would normally be its most obvious customer. Israel's other major irritant is the refusal of the international oil companies to defy the Arab trade ban-for obvious reasons. Despite the boycott, Israel's little economy continues to grow. The gross national product has more than doubled, to almost $2.5 billion, since the boycott began; foreign currency reserves have tripled, to $600 million. Most important, foreign investment in Israel goes on unchecked...
