' Scorecard on Desegregation , ' , Each day the Associated Press gives us a roundup of the news from the desegregation batUefront: Clinton, Tenn., Manfield, Texas, Sturgis, Kentucky wherever clashes arise Avar jkf fAirf a aKcapim Kai minrlii i9 that vv tiviM tw wavawv sjs as vt iii U. S. Supreme Court But little or nothing is reported on the districts where segregation is being ended without conflict That isn't "news." Yet progress is being made, espe cially in the old "border" states. . ' . , The most complete report of the situation arising from the Supreme Cort decision is given in the Southern School News, a paper established by Southern editors and educa tors to report the facts on this controversy. Its September issue now at hand summarizes the situation thus: v . ' "School doors were opening this month in 17 southern and border states and the Dis trict of Columbia with 723 districts and school uniu desegregated 186 more than last year and with racial segregation at the lower school level unbroken in eight states. The eight are: Alabama, Florida. Georgia, Lou isiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. In three f these Louisiana, North Carolina and Virginia some Negroes are attending private and state- . supported colleges." . , Southern School News estimates that 300 000 Negro pupils are in integrated situations, an Increase of 45,000. However, an estimated 2,400,000 remain in districts adhering to seg regation. Most of the 300,000 are In the Dis trict of Columbia and border states." Here is a rundown of the states as given by Southern School News: Alabama: People adopted a constitutional amendment giving "Freedom of Choice" ' which wnuM nrmit fh locrUintiir in with. draw aid to or dispose of any school faced with forced integration. Arkansas: Three small schools integrated. Van Buren and Little Rock planning deseg regation in 1957. - Delaware: Fourteen of the 63 districts ' with Negroes hold mixed classes and eight others have announced policies of non-discrimination. District ef Columbia: All district schools under integration policy. Ratio of school pop ulation; 65 per cent Negro, 33 per cent white. Integration under attack as cause of lowering . school standards. , Florida: New laws to maintain segregation reported to be confusing. Georgia: Segregation continued in public' institutions. Negro colleges expect 16 per cent increase in enrollment . Kentucky: States opened to Integrated situations" in all but IS of the state's 120 counties. First Citizens Council (prosegrega-;; tionj formed in Kentucky .in August .Louisiana: New state laws passed to pre serve racial separation. Maryland: Desegregation in effect for nearly 83 per cent of Maryland's Negro: pupils. - - , - Mississippi: Schools still segregated, but "physical facilities, along with teacher sal aries, at a new high of quality." Missouri: Eighty-eight per cent of Mis souri's Negro pupils enrolled in wholly or partly integrated schools. Oklahoma: Actual , integration reported from 161 school districts with permissive in tegration in 12 others. ? South Carolina: Schools all segregated. Tennessee: First instance of desegregation in lower schools, at Clinton, Tenn., where violence flared after 12 Negroes began at- ' tending Clinton High School. V Texas: Over a hundred school districts on desegregated basis. First district in heavily Negro-populated East Texas Port Arthur announced desegregation effective in 1957. . Virginia: Segregation continued. New leg islation considered. West Virginia: Twenty county systems fully desegregated, 21 partly, three remain, segre gated. ' v. ' : Looking ahead one may see that integra tion will proced in the border states with greater or less speed, but that in the old South segregation will be hard to crack. The issue hss become surcharged with emotion , and elements hostile to desegregation fan fires of opposition all over the South. In such a climate anyone advocating even a course of moderation exposes himself to social and business boycott and ' political crucifixion. Even veteran Rep. Carl Vinson of Georgia, eminent chairman of the Armed Forces Com mittee, faces opposition in his home district and is accused of not being a strong enough foe of desegregation.' Ministers of churches who ought to be leaders in moral reform are i pretty well muzzled by reactionary parish ioners. Until this climate of fear and race pride can be moderated discrimination on grounds of race will continue. . There is much to be said in favor of grad- ; ualism. but since the question developed as one of constitutions! law the Supreme Court had to give a decisive answer. At that it al lowed just as much tolerance in timing of desegregation as it could. No one likes to have troops called out to enforce integration, but where necessary to protect persons from , violence they must be called out What first is needed in the South, however, is some thawing of white conscience. Recognition of the injustice of race discrimination, i? the first step toward genuine social harmony. iMAN-MADEJVOrCSNO yf Tougher Policy on Sue ,.. The United States has lined up with Britain and France in a tougher policy on Egypt with respect to the Sues CanaL Nasser rejected the proposal for internationalizing the canal, and the three-power answer to that as given by Prime Minister Eden in Common Wednesday is to set up a "users' association" under spon sorship of the three powers to take over the operation of the canaL It would employ pilots, direct traffic, collect tolls, make "appropriate payments" to Egypt Rejection of this pro posal by Egypt would be treated as a breach of the Constantinople convention of 1888, and Britain and France would feel free -to take such action as they deemed necessary. . Nasser can hardly accept this stiffer de mand without loss of prestige, so it looks as ' though a showdown is imminent over the Suez. It is predicted, however, that before any military action is taken the issue will be presented to United Nations. The only sitting body now is the Security Council since the General Assembly is not scheduled to meet until November. Russia is a permanent mem ber of the Council and is almost certain to apply a veto to any application of compulsion on Emrot In the General Assembly there are so many Arab countries and so msny "neu- ys'iirM S fi f w" ViT i ri- jU' ' ' " -WtyWi T mminHr S-22!X ii m i "i mm Hi iini'p- ii i Resumption of FCC meetings in Washington may soon bring to a head the hassle over Salem'a TV channels.

RYAN AP Foreign News Analyst The Communist bloc is steadily raising the tempo of its drive to penetrate the Middle East econom ically. In the past week alone, Middle East news agencies reported an agreement for the exchange of Soviet wheat for Egyptian cotton, an Egyptian agreement to buy Chinese meat at prices below the world market, and a Soviet offer to develop oil in northern Syria. The latter is the most note -worthy of the three reports. Syr ia's Communists, though small in number, are strong and ably led by Khaled Baghdash, Moscow's chosen representative for the en tire Middle East. Syria's govern-' ment is in a chronic state of in stability, and the army is heavily infiltrated by Communists. It would be no big trick, when the time might be ripe for the Rus sians to support a Communist coup In that country aimed at setting up a people's democracy for a permanent foothold in the Middle East. The Damascus report said a representative of the Soviet firm. Techno-Export. has informed Syr ia there is abundant oil in its northern territory and Soviet con cerns can get it out rn ordinary commercial terms. It said the So viet representative pictured Syria as a potentially rich country which, with the oil money the Rus sians could help them pocket, could industrialize and develop it self economically. This is an attractive picture for a poverty-stricken country like Syria, forever nervous about her neighbors and jealous of the oil riches of next-door Iraq. The So viet Union is playing clever polit ics with such an offer. a a a These are only the recent mani festations of the Communist bloc's determined economic drive in a wide .area of Africa and Asia, whose eventual aim is to divorce such countries from any Western influence. Trade between the so- called backward countries and the Soviet-Communist bloc has been increasing significantly ever since 1954. when the Russians suddenly decided to intrude themselves dy namically into the agitated poli tics of the MWdle East. If the Russians persuade such countries to base their industrial! ration and modernization pro grams on the Soviet-Communist pattern, they will have chalked up a victory of incalculable propor- Hons in its implications for the generations to come. The burgeon ing trade and technical aid offen sive ia a big challenge to the free world leadership of the United Statea. United Nations Anti-Colonial Bloc Growing " B.Y MAX HARKELSON AP U. N. Correspondent One of the main reasons for Western hesitancy in bringing the Suez problem to the U. N. ia the growing strength of the anticolon ial bloc in the world organization. This group, supported by the Soviet bloc, would stand a good chance of preventing any action in the 7S-nation General Assembly which might be considered un friendly to Egypt. The anticolonial group does not have such strong representation in the 11-nation Security Council, but Russia could prevent action just as effectively by using her veto there. a a a At present the Security Council seems the most likely organ to get the Suez question if and when it is brought to the U. N. Britain and Franco laid the foundation for such action yesterday when they notified the Council that the situa tion "if allowed to continue, would constitute a manifest danger to peace and securiy." From the Western point of view, there would be two main ad vantages in taking the case to the Security Council rather than the Assembly. First, the Assembly does not meet until Nov. 12. And, second, the Western powers prob ably would consider themselves in a stronger moral position if they could blame their fail.ire on a Soviet veto, rather than through lack of a two-thirds majority in the Assembly. a The heart of the anticolonial force in the V. N. is the tightly knit group of 23 Asian and African nations which often has voted to gether almost unanimously in co lonial issues. T.v- group consid ers the Suez dispute in this cate gory. Together with the nine members of the Soviet bloc, and a few scat tered votes from other countries. they could muster well over the 28 negative votes needed to side track action. a a In the Security Council, France and Britain could count on a ma jority on any sort of moderate proposal, such as an appeal or recommendation for peaceful set tlement. They would be almost sure to get the support cf the I'nited States, Australia, Belgium, Cuba and Peru. Nationalist China and Iran would be doubtful, with Yugoslavia and Russia against. A proposal for economic penal ties or other drastic action against Kgypt would have little chance of winning the necessary seven votes for approval even if the possi bility of a veto did not exist.

Italian Nationals' Evacuation From Egypt Humored NAPLES, Italy, Sept. 12 W-The Italian news agency ANSA said tonight the liner Argentina has sailed to Alexandria to evacuate Italian nationals from Egypt. The ship left Naples under sealed orders today. It carried special stocks of clothing and medical supplies. Aboard were an official of the Italian navy and a group of Red Cross workers. Its destination was not disclosed of Gussy Moran Files Annulment Action NEW YORK, Sept. 1J W-For-mer tennis star Gertrude (Gussy) Moran of lace panties fame filed an annulment action today to end her one-month-old marriage to In dustrial engineer Thomas J. Cor bally. , ; Actually, Miss Moran's petition said, the marriage only lasted three days and even during that time Corbally "refused and still refuges to consummate" it. She said she was asking no money. against the wall in Wisconsin and was attacked by the forces which had fought the Eisen hower program. Eisenhower said he was not taking part in pri mary contests; but in this case it seemed to me adherence to this rule was poor politics and showed a lack of gratitude. It was also gratifying to see that Lieut. Gov. Emmett Ander son won the Republican nomina tion for Governor over Attorney General Don Eastvold. The lat ter was a fair-haired politico who got some fame in the GOP con vention of 1962 and then became attorney general. However, he proved a disappointment as a public official. Anderson is re garded as both able and whole some. He will compete with State Senator Rosellini who won the Democratic nomination. No tears are shed over the de feat of Gov. J. Bracken Lee of Utah for renomination. An un compromising reactionary, he was the darling of the extreme right wing of the Republican Party, a political fossil if ever there was one. These results should bring some satisfaction to those who hope to maintain the Republican Party as one of progress, avoid ing the extremes of ultra-conservatism and of radicalism. That is the only way it can remain a vital force in American politics. Time Flies FROM STATESMAN PILES 10 Years Ago Sept. 1). IMS Salem was listed among lum ber centers of Oregon for which extra housing units are to be made available by the national housing agency In the effort to Increase the state's lumber out put in connection with the nation wide building program. 25 Years Ago Sept. 13. 1W1 Two hundred ten annual "snow rings" on Eliot glacier on Mount Hood have been covered by fresh snow that fell this week while rain fell in other sections of the state. The rings are formed by deposits of dust on each year's layer of snow. , . 40 Years Ago ; Sept. 13, lilt Jumping from the busy ses sion of Congress just closed into the strenuous activity of a short campaign Congressman W. C. Hawley. returned to Salem to make preparations, Keep Exhibits Fresh To the Editor: In furtherance of your editor ial remarks about the Land Products exhibits at the State Fair. The Land Products show may be larger but it certainly should be replaced at least once, and preferably daily throughout the Fair -unless refrigeration facili ties are made available for it By Saturday most of the soft fruits and some cut melon were mildewed and rotten and attract ing myriads of fruit flies. Even by the middle of the week they were most unattractive. On speaking to one of the at tenaanta at the exhibit I was told, "Well most of the exhibits come from far parts of the state and exhibitors can't be expected to come back to replace a few fruits". But on the other hand most of the Fair attendance come from far parts of the state too, and certainly can't be ex peciea to iook witn lavor on a large collection of garbage which ia what this spoiled fruit. and in some cases, vegetables, amounts to. i am in no position to ssy what can be done about it but the Floral exhibits are replaced often enough to keep them lovely throughout and somehow the fruit and vegetable exhibits should be too. Hugh N. Harris. Route 4, Salem Call far Nw Party To the Editor: The record of all candidates should be kept truthfully and fac tually correct and not distorted by campaign fiction. Morse at tended the 1952 convention all prepared to write the platform and to be nominated for presi dent or vice president but by that time he was better known nationally and had talked him self out of all support. He was given no part in the convention and was considered for no office. When Congress convened he was given no committee appoint ment of Importance only the least they could possibly give him and this made him mad enough to bile himself which he did. He delayed the Tenate's business months on end by his spite speeches. The cost printing the spite speeches in the Con gressional Record at S80 per page totalled $650,000 and the delay to government business would total much more than half million dollars so Morse is a million dollar baby that union labor will re-elect unless a very considerable number of Demo crats scratch him. Other uncertain factors are that a great number in all sec tions have recently become ar dent slates righters, Stevenson-! is a divorcee and may lose women's votes, Kefauver is dis credited in all parts of the south and Nixon's standing with voters is uncertain. Truman gave the date of Nixon's speech at Texarkana and when the Texarkana papers of that date were looked up. they reported that Nixon said Truman was a traitor to the principles of the great Democrat party. He did not say Truman was a traitor to his country but the word traitor was used and the damage done for it may be construed either way and is just the dish for politicians. A political party is : mere vehicle, ours are much alike and the members of both parties are exactly alike. The time is near for the formation of a new party based on something other than the purchase of votes with public funds. Too many votes are in fluenced by prejudices and party affiliation and this time it will be most interesting to analyze how the jumble works out. J. M. Campbell, Dallas, Ore. "Bungling" by Dulles To the Editor: In an excellent report today on the fine speech on the Suea canal crisis given on Tuesday to the Salem Kiwanians hy my friend and colleague of the Wil lamette law faculty. Dr. Regi nald Parker, a reference is mad to "extraordinary bungling" In this matter by Secretary Dulles. Mr. Dulles did indeed help bring on the Suet crisis, by first offering to help Colonel Nasser build the Aswan dam, and then withdrawing so suddenly that the Colonel first heard of the with drawal through the news serv ices. But such bungling "diplo macy" by Mr. Dulles is far Irom extraordinary I submit. From his strictly phony "unleashing" of Chiang Kai Shrk; via "three times . at Brink of War"; via Goa: to the off-again nn-sgam tanks for the Arabs oVal. Secre tary Dulles has stag erred and stumbled from one blunder to another like a bull in a China shop; pausing only between plane rides to claim that every stupid thing he docs and ssya (and then usually tries to ex plain away later i somehow pre serves the peace of the world and enhances the prestige of the Vnited States. Han '.nvell, Rt 3. Salem. Woman Ruled Insane in Killing Of Former Lover NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 12 U A criminal district judge today de clared Beatrice Adams insane and therefore unable to stand trial for slaying of her former lover by repeatedly running her car over his body. Judge J. Bernard Cocke com mitted the slim, J5-yesj-old former woman Marine to the East Louis iana Mental Hospital in Jackson. Miss Adams was charged with killing Mack Jerningan, 29-year-old car dealer, with her automo bile on busy Canal Street, last aiay as ne sieppea irom tne euro, i She drove her ca. back and forth over his body, urging him to ask God's forgiveness for having abandoned her after he'd prom ised to marry her. At the time she told police that Jernigan planned to return to his wife. Dr. Nicholas Chetta, Orleans Parish county coroner, testified Miss Adams "has a definite per sonality degeneration." "She is a menace not only to society but to herself," the coron er said. Says Council Not for Economy To the Editor: The policies and beliefs of Kent Mathewson, Salem's new city manager, are evidently more than skin-deep. He seema to approach his job w:th tha alertness of a well trained cat watching a rathole, determined to correct discrepancies, and has already made some constructive suggestions to the city council regarding careless small expen ditures. He seems irked by the ides of repetitive small account ing by two or three where one would be sufficient.. He has bluntly pointed to a saving of about $10,000 in interest charges which could easily be abated. Such things are of interest to taxpayers, but Mr Mathewson should realiie that his job comes from the city council not the taxpayers. I wish him well, hut somebody should tell him that city council, like the slate legis lature, is not economy-minded. It always seems more thrilling to find a new project "for tho people." to be financed by pub lic funds, than to dub along with prosaic saving, even though the funds have to be created by. new interest - bearing bonds to b paid by added taxes A M Church Moo N Summer v' C)rf so n ?&tatcsiuutt Phon 4-SS11' Ssbscriptlaa Rates Br rarrltr la rlUra: Dftiljr onljr I ts prr mo Dally and Sunday 11. 4S pr ma Sunday only .10 wk By ftnaU.
