...reflection of the new mood sweeping Western Europe. Wearied by burdensome defense spending and convinced that the Soviet threat had all but vanished, the Continent's statesmen were seeking ways to eradicate the last lingering memories of the cold war. In Bonn last week, Europe's venerable integrationist, Jean Monnet, proposed that the Common Market set up joint institutions with the Soviet bloc. At last week's Western European Union meeting, Britain's former Defense Minister Duncan Sandys called for sharp reductions in the West's military strength on the Continent, insisting that "the Russians...

But to diehard segregationists, he has never sounded as though he really meant it. Last week, in a Senate speech against an anti-poll-tax amendment to the voting rights bill, Sparkman said stolidly: "Legislation such as this, which is not designed to be applicable to the whole nation at large, is not sound, and Congress should think long and hard before it plunges emotionally into promulgating an extreme measure...
