Nixon was careful to divorce the crime problem from rioting and racial tension. He had dealt with that in an earlier position paper stressing the need for black economic progress (TIME, May 3). Last week his statement on racial accommodation drew praise from an unexpected source-the militant Congress of Racial Equality, which put forward its own plan for Negro selfhelp. Roy Innis, CORE associate national director, said Nixon's speech "opened the eyes of a lot of people" and made him a "contender for the black vote." Until now Nixon has not been particularly popular among Negro leaders...
...purge is still in progress. Radio Shanghai recently announced that seven "renegades and active counterrevolutionary criminals" had been executed while 10,000 Maoist onlookers "shouted slogans at the top of their voices, rejoicing and clapping their hands." Despite such salutary lessons, however, Mao has been unable to stifle his opposition.

As long as Spain remains ruled by the army, the landed families and the church, he sees scant hope of any dramatic social or industrial progress-although he does grant that there have been genuine advances in recent years. He is acerbic about the humiliating political strictures imposed by the Franco government, deplores the abrasive, remorseless poverty that makes even the dogs in the provinces scrawny and unlovable. Though he shares the passion of so many...
...consistently held that a comprehensive nuclear treaty signed by all five nuclear powers is a pre-requisite to any nonproliferation treaty. How can the non-nuclear states, they ask, be fairly expected to renounce nuclear weapons indefinitely, much less forever, while the five existing states fail to make any progress toward nuclear disarmament, and while two of the five still refuse to adhere to the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty...
