o Southern Governors Ask Stand Against School Race Integration Richmond, Va. (U.R) Four Southern governors spurred leg islatures of their states today to challenge the authority of the U. S. Supreme Court to order mixed schools. By informal agreement at a conference Tuesday the gover nors adopted the strongest stand yet taken in the rising crisis over school segregation across the Deepouth. They decided to ask their leg islatures, which now are in ses sion, to invoke the doctrine of "interposition," a word used in the past to describe a stage's pro test against alleged federal gov ernment encroachment. ,Govs. Thomas B. Stanley of Virginia, Marvin Griffin of Geor gia, H. P.Coleman of Mississippi and George B. Timmerman Jr., of South Carolina issued their personal challenges of the court's authority. Joint Statement Issued "The states have not delegated to the federal government or any agency thereof the power to pro hibit the segregation of the races in the public schools," they said in a joint statment. "Therefore," they said, "we shall recommend to the legisla tures of our respective states that the following action be taken: 1. That the state legislatures by resolution formally "inter pose" the sovereign power of the states against 'the encroachment of the central government.' 2. That they ask Congress to take such action as it can to 'protect the states and the people against present and future en croachment . . . ' 3. That each state enact laws or adopt other legal measures to As We Live Don't Double Dale With Dale Stealer Inhere are always girls who like to take boys away from other gir's. What should a girl , do when she is the victim of such treatment? G j ' I,11 far mmmm . (Q) "I w.si very much in teres led in your column today which told about a girl whose old er sister tried to lake away her boy friends. My Dr. Hurlock best friend does just ihe same thing to me, We have gone together since we were in first grade and now we are both juniors in high school. Whenever I get a new boy friend, she suggest we have a double dale. I always agree be cause I am somewhat shy and it is hard for me to go out on a dale with a boy I barely know. My girl friend is always the life of any party and I never have io worry about keeping the con versation going when she is around. The trouble is the boy asks her out on a date and does n't ask me again.-1 know she lik es lo be popular but I resent the way she takes he boys away from me. Should I break up with her? In every other way, we are very congenial." B. L. H. (A) If you and your friend are as congenial as you seem to think you are, it would be very foolish to break up your friendship. Friends are not so easily found that you can afford ...to., discard one who is congenial, even when it may mean losing your boy friends. You are as much to blame for this problem, it seems to me, as your friend is? You are depend ing )o much on her to carry the ball for you in -your social re lationships and then, when she makes a good job of it, you re sent the outcome. Try, in the future, to handle your own dates and don't rely upon your friend to help you out. Go out with the boys alone and don't ask your friend to make it a double date. By doing this, yjfci give your date an op- By ELIZABETH HURLOCK. PH.D. portunity to see your friend in comparison with you and, as she has more poise and greater so cial skills, she shows up better by comparison. Should she suggest a double date, tell her frankly it doesn't wor'- for you. If she is a good friend pf yours, she will under stand and will even go further and help you to develop some of the social skills you now lack. (Copyright 1956, General Features Corp.) Marjorie Smith Faces Questioning San Jose, Calif. (U.R) Mrs. Marjorie Smith, Portland, faced further questioning today by attorneys attempting to prove that her irregular personal life made her an unfit mother for her three-year-old daughter. The 34-year-old mother agreed yesterday to leave the child, Susan, with the little girl's aunt pending the outcome of guar dianship proceedings. The aunt, Mrs. Ellen Hightower, refused to give the child up, even in the face of a court order. Mrs. Hightower took Susan last April after Mrs. Smith was arrested for complicity in the murder of her husband, attorney Kermit Smih. Mrs. Smith was tried and ac quitted of conspiring with Vic tor Laurence Wolf, 45, to com mit the murder. Wolf was con victed of murder in the second degree. T Yesterday Mrs. Smith was called to the stand as an adverse witness by Mrs. Hightower's at torney, John M. Burnett, who said he would prove that Mrs. Smith is not a fit mother. WAIT UNTIL SUMMER .

Challenge of Court Authority The first step, "interposition," marked a turn from evading the Supreme Court through "private school plans" and other means to an outright challenge of the court's authority. . At present it is only an ab stract doctrine which the gover nors and other segregation lead- ers have hailed as an "unwritten law." Although invoked by var ious states in challenging the fed eral government in the past its force has never been effectively tested. Georgia's governor predicted that "interposition will become a household word in Dixie." The governors said they had already talked about the com panion doctrine of "nullifica tion" and said they might ask their state legislatures to take either stand. Cheer-Up Chores!

Wednesday, January 25. 195S MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE At least 30 'per cent of the world rail mileage is in the U.S. Democrat Wi In Pennsylvania Pittsburgh (U.R) -A Dem ocrat running with full labor backing today won the nation's first congressional battle of the 1956 presidential year. Elmer J. Holland, a state sen ator and CIO official, ran up a 3-to-l margin over Republican David J. Smith in a special elec tion Tuesday to fill a vacancy in Pennsylvania's 30th congression-. al district. Republicans shrugged off the huge Democratic bulge as hav ing no national significance be cause the Democrats held a 2 to-1 advantage among the district's 191,929 registered voters. Gov. George M. Leader called the special election to fill a va cancy resulting from the death of Mrs. Vera Buchanan last Nov ember. Returns from 309 of 311 dis tricts gave Holland 35,930 votes to 11,680 for Smith, bettering the 2-to-l margin by which Mrs. Bu chanan beat Smith in 1954. The voting turnout was light. The district, one of the most heavily industrialized in the na tion, repeatedly has given big margins to Democratic candi dates running with the support of the United Steelworkers and other labor groups. Holland campaigned on the promise he would seek to have the U. S. Department of Labor set up a committee to study pos sible aid for workers who are supplanted by machinery. The Pittsburgh Democrat also sup ported an improved health pro gram and federal funds for med ical colleges. Corvallis Realtor Victim of Car Crash Corvallis (U.R) Paul T. Bates, 68-year-old retired Cor vallis realtor, died last night when his car went out of con trol, jumped a curb and crashed into a tree. Dr. Edgar de Meules said he thought Bates may have died be fore the accident, possibly of a heart attack. An estimated $100,000,000 a year is given by the American people to charities of a doubt ful status, despite intensive edu cational programs.
