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

Inhere are always girls who

such treatment?

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-

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.

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.

protect its sovereignty and the

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.

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

Pittsburgh Democrat also sup
