MAIL TRIBUNE
Integration
"Why," we were asked the other day, "why haven't
you commented on the problem of school integration
in the south?"
Well, why haven't we? Perhaps because we felt any
comments we could offer would be so self-evident
they didn't need saying. But maybe they do need to
be said, after all. Anyway, here goes
"THE 14th amendment to the Constitution of the
United States read as follows :
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and
subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United
Stales and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall
make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges
or immunity of citizens of the United States: nor shall any
state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without
due process of law; nor deny to any person within its juris
diction the equal protection of the laws."
The Declaration of Independence says:
"We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are
created equal . . ."
TF ONE accepts these statements, then there can be
no question that equality under the law should be
extended to all U. S. citizens, black, white or sky
blue. The U.S. Supreme Court is vested by the constitu
tion with the responsibility of interpreting the consti
tution in specific cases. In the school situation, the
court held in a unanimous decision that "separate"
school facilities are not "equal" school facilities.
It ordered the admission of Negro children into pre
viously all-white schools "with all deliberate speed"
and it gave power to local federal district courts to
see that this be done.
THOSE who disagree with integration have all sorts
of arguments to support their position things in
volving the "traditional way of life" of the. south ;
"mongrel race" and "inferior race" scare stones (long
disproved by scientific evidence a fact they choose
to ignore); the threat to social customs, health, wel
fare and education, and so on and so on.
All these arguments are blind to two things:
1. Negroes are human beings, and those involved
in the dispute are citizens of the United States.
2. Integration is the law.
AIHILE disagreeing vehemently with their position,
" one can understand it. But that doesn't make it
light.
The segregationists, the Ku Kluxers, the Citizens
Councils, the cross-burners and night-riders are piti
fully twisted victims of their environment and train
ing. But that doesn't make them right.
Many of the Negroes seeking admission to schools
are ignorant, diseased, underprivileged. But that
doesn't make them wrong in their desire for an equal
education and an equal economic and political chance
in this land of the free.
THE END of this dispute is not now in sight. Preju
dice and intolerance and the vestiges of a feeling of
white superiority die hard.
Education is a long process.
But we believe a time is coming when a citizen of
the United States any citizen will be able to vote
and work and receive an education, in dignity and
without having to undergo the shame and degradation
of discrimination and hatred. E.A.
Progress
VE HAVE, after all, made some progress in the
rights of human beings to be treated as human
beings, and not second-class creatures. Less than 100
years ago, most southern Negroes were still slaves.
And in the actual progress of integration, the flare
ups and disputes and riots have made the headlines.
Where integration has been accomplished, quietly and
without furor, no headlines have been made. This
has happened possibly more than many of us realize,
but it has been mostly in the "border" states, little in
the deep south itself.
THE Southern School News, a publication originated
to cover the situation, and which does so in such a
factual manner that both sides accept its reports with
out question, has reported :
"School doors were opening this month in 17 southern
and border states and the District of Columbia with 723
districts and school units desegregated 186 more than last
year and with racial segregation at the lower school level
unbroken in eight states: Alabama. Florida, Georgia, Louisi
ana. North Carolina and Virginia. In three of these Louis
iana, North Carolina and Virginia some Negroes are attend
ing private and state-supported colleges."
It is estimated that 300,000 Negro pupils are now
attending integrated schools, an increase of 45,000
from last year. But some 2,400,000 remain in segre
gated schools.
Progress, as stated, is slow. It may be generations
before the job is completed. But it is coming, and all
right-thinking citizens should be working toward that
end. E.A.

HOW DID MAINE GO?
Having had some opportunity
to watch the Maine election cam
paign. I have a few notions about
the results
One is that the

his press con
ference on
Tuesday when
he spoke as if
the whole re
sults could be
Waller Lippmann auriDUtea to
the personal popularity of the
Democratic candidate for gover
nor. For that is to beg the ques
tion of why this Democratic Gov
ernor was first elected in 1954
in the middle of the Eisenhower
administration and in this norm
ally Republican state and has
thus had a chance to make him
self so popular.
Since the election on Mbnday,
there has-been a good deal of
plain speaking by Republicans,
as for example by State Sen
Seth Low. of Rockland: "The Re
publican party must change its
thinking before the next elec
tion and give the youngsters
more of a chance in the political
field."
There, I think, is the crux of
the matter, that as regards the
state of Maine the Democrats
have become the party of the
rising generation while the Re
publican Party is dominated by
the passing generation. Muskie's
first election in 1954 reflected a
popular reaction against Old
Guard Republicanism, and his
re-election this week by a spec
tacularly increased majority is
manifestly due not to his per
sonal charms, though they are
very considerable, but to his hav
ing convinced masses of voters
that the Democratic Party works
effectively in the present and for
the future.
'
HPHE RESULTS, particularly .in
the Congressional Districts,
must reflect, it seems to me, a
marked increase in the strength
of the Democratic Party. Four

Reunion
To the Editor: Celebrating
their 38th annual reunion, mem
bers of the 91st Division as
sociation will get together, talk
over old times and make merry
in Seattle, Wash., on Saturday.
Sept. 29. with the Seattle sector
as host for the occasion. Reg
istration will begin at 1 p.m.
in the Seattle Chamber of Com
merce, 215 Columbia st. The
dugout will be opened at 4 p.m.
The banquet will get under
way at 7 p.m., to be followed
by a floor show. Members of
the 91st Division association
will attend the reunion from
many cities and towns through
out the state of Washington, and
several are expected, to be in
Seattle for the" annual event
from California, Oregon, Idaho
and other states.
The 91st. known in World War
I as the Wild West Division,
had its start at Camp Lewis,
Wash., in 1917. when Maj. Gen.
Henry A. Greene assumed com
mand. It saw service during
World War I, at St. Mihiel, the
Mcuse-Argonne, Ypres-Flanders.
and in the Army of occupation.
During World War II the di
vision was recalled to duty, be
ing trained this time at Camp
White, under Mai. Gen. Charles
(Loose Reins Charlie) Gear
heart, a former cavalry officer.
The World War II edition of the
91st saw service in the battle
of Rome-Arno. North Apennines,
Po Valley, Pisa, Gothic Line,
Feuta Pass, Livorno, Bologna,
and Trieste.
"Powder River" and "Let 'er
Buck", the war cries of this
hard hitting division from its
days at Camp Lewis, will again
be heard at the reunion when
they meet Sept. 29. Local vet
erans of the 91st are invited to

33 per cent of the vote in the
Congressional election. In 1954
they polled about 45 per cent of
the Congressional vote. Now they
have polled nearly 49 per cent.
All this cannot be attributed to
Gov. Muskie's personal popular
ity alone. It must mean that
there has been a movement of
voters toward the Democratic
Party, that there is what is called
a trend.
What is the nature of this
trend? Judging by the campaign
ing in Maine, I would say that
the real matters which have af-
! fected the voting are not the
pros and the cons of specific is
sues but an overall feeling about
being modern or behind-the-times.
A new, political genera
tion is arriving at the posts of
political and economic and social
power. It is the post-war genera
tion, and a significant number
among them have turned to the
Democratic Party. They have
turned, I would suppose, to the
Democrats in those stales where,
as in Maine under Muskie's lead
ership, the Democrats are mani
festly the more modern party;
rpHE OUTCOME in Maine does
- mucn to conurm ine view mat
I the Democrats are the majority
party, and that Gov. Stevenson's
problem is how to rally all the
Democrats to the national ticket.
I It indicates that he and his man
jagers are right in their policy of
placing such great emphasis on
! party organization. For if not too
J many Democrats split their tick
i et in favor of President Eisen
! hower. the Democrats have a
chance to win not only Congress
, but the Presidency.
I The obverse of all this, at least
as shown in Maine, is that Presi
dent Eisenhower has a long way
to go in his efforts to modernize
the Republican Party and to
make it the agent of the future.
There is no doubt at all that in
Maine the Democrats under Mus
kie have done with their party
what the President dreams of do
ing with the Republican Party.
They have brought it abreast of

Those Missiles
There may be headline news
from Copenhagen this week on

in this column last week, allied
intelligence agents believe they
are Russian guided missiles. The
firings have been stepped up in
the last few days. New radar
equipment in top-secret stations
on Denmark's Bornham island
shows they are streaking over
the sea at altitudes of more than
18 miles at speeds of up to 2,500
miles an hour.

Russia and Poland
Facing Crisis in
Loss of Grain Crop
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
Soviet Russia and Poland, its
biggest satellite, are facing a
serious agricultural situation.
Both the Russian and the Pol
ish governments had looked for
ward to record
grain crops
this year.
But rain, in
efficiency and
lack of incen
tive among
peasants have
combined t o
threaten the
loss of mil
lions of tons
in crops.
ChJules M. .VcC&nn
Vast areas of ripe grain in
Siberia, the Ukraine and other
areas remain unreaped.
Now the frost season is ap
proaching fast and it looks as
if the unreaped crops may freeze
or rot.
Khruschev's Project
The Russian situation repre
sents a personal defeat for Nikita
S. Khrushchev, the Communist
Party leader and No. 1 equal in
the Kremlin's collective leader
ship.
For several years Khrushchev
has taken personal charge of the
Russian agricultural situation.
He has sponsored breath-taking
schemes to increase produc
tion, including the opening up
of millions of acres of land in
Siberia.
As part of the Siberia plan,
hundreds of thousands of young
men and women have been
coerced into "volunteering" for
farm work in the eastern regions
of the Soviet Union.
Last year, partly because of
drought, partly because Khrus-
chev's plans were too ambitious,
the grain crop fell below that
of 1954. As a result, the Siberia
plan was cut back sharply early
this year.
Harvest Is Slow
In April the government and
the Communist Parly joined in
an appeal to farm workers to
increase production by any
means.
Until recently, it looked as if
this year's crop might reach a
record total from 125 million
metric tons to nearly 150 mil
lion. Then came the rains. Dis
patches from Moscow in the last
three weeks have told of an in
creasingly serious lag in harvest
ing.
Newspapers appealed urgently
to farm workers to speed up.
But recent'dispatches have re
ported that about 25 per cent of
the Siberian crop and nearly 50
per cent of the crop in the Uk
raine. Russia s traditional bread
basket, remained in the fields.
The same situation has arisen
in Poland. There, it is reported
that 30 per cent or more of the
grain crop may be lost.
In Russia's case, much of the
blame for what threatens to be
a serious crop loss lies on
Khrushchev.
In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
If you want a good slant at
world affairs, get out your globe
and take a look at the isthmus
of Suez, which is cut across by
the Suez canal. Then take a look
at the Middle East Arabia.' etc.,
where the oil comes from to keep
Western Europe going.
Then
Take a look at the LONG,
LONG route around the southern
tip of Africa, over which the oil
may have to be hauled to get it
from where it originates to
where the bulk of it is consumed.
THIS must be your conclusion:
IF COMMON SENSE
RULED THE WORLD, no two-
bit racketeer would dare to
threaten closure of the Suez
canal.
He'd be laid over a barrel
and spanked until he yelled
ENOUGH!
ANOTHER thought in passing:
It wasn't governments that
dug the canal across the isthmus
of Suez. It was private enterprise
business men who were seeking
to make a legitimate profit by
cutting down the cost of getting
commodities from the points
where they were produced to the
markets where they could be
sold.
If private enterprise business
men, unhampered by power-hungry
despots and irresponsible
demagogues, were handling the
affairs o fthe Suez canal there
would be no thought of closing
it.
SPEAKING of things that hadn't
ought to be. but are. in the
village of Mastic, New York, yes
terday, a 13-year-old boy, accom
panied by an 11-year-old boy,
slipped into an unattended air
plane at the municipal airport,
and although he had never
touched the controls of a plane
before the 13-year-old took off,
flew around for an hour, and
then landed safely.
ANOTHER place where a good
sound spanking would be in
order?
I reckon so.

The boy has TALENT. And na

Matter of Fact By Stewart Alsop
THE UNHAPPY FARMERS
Walworth County, Wis. This
rich, Republican farm county,
which voted better than three to
one for Dwight D. Eisenhower in
1952. will cer
tainly vote
heavily for him
again. The
question is how
heavily.
It is an im
portant -question.
If Adlai
Stevenson can
better his 1952
Stewart Alsop vote by a sub
stantial margin in Republican
strongholds like Walworth Coun
ty, he will be in shooting dist
ance of the Presidency. After
many long hours spent inter
viewing farmers here, in compa
ny with John Kraft, a profes
sional public opinion expert, the
answer to the question would ap
pear to depend on two factors.
It will depend, first, on wheth
er the unhappiness of the farm
ers here will actually be trans
lated into an important number
of Democratic votes, against the
deeply Republican instincts of
the great majority. It will de
pend, second, on whether Estes
Kefauver. who is mysteriously
well-liked among the farmers can
transfer some of his popularity
to Stevenson, who is not well
liked at all.
.
THERE is no doubt whatsoever
that the farmers are unhappy.
Here in this rich dairying area,
they are by no means as unhappy
as thev are in the hog and corn
country of Iowa, where this re
porter on a previous pulse-feeling
expedition found a surprising
turn of sentiment against the Ei
senhower administration. But
even here this farmers, including
the staunchlv Republican farm
ers, are decidedly discontented
Once in a while you run across
a farmer who will profess to be
reasonably satisfied "things
aren't too bad." But much more
often you find people like the
pleasant-faced old farmer on a
tractor, who said: "Everybody
else is enjoying prosperity except
us farmers." Or the sad-faced,
middle aged farmer's wife who
was washing the barn windows,
and who said, between wipes:
"The middleman gets everything
why, " we get seven cents a
quart for milk and I bet you city
people pay three times that."
"Those brokers in Chicago con
trol what we get." an angry farm
er said, as he tinkered with a
complicated piece of machinery,
"and we can't do nothing about
it." "I'm a Republican." another
said, "but prices sure went to
hell right after they went in
there."
POSTAL ORDER
Kamiah, Ida. (U.R) Post
master Richard Gibler has re
ceived a notice telling him to
pay more rent or move. Land
lord Pete Wolf said he is leas
ing the building to a dry goods
firm that will pay more rent
than the government. The top
rate the government will pay
for the quarters is $1,000 a year,
which isn't enough. Wolf said.
pity of it is that his talent
couldn't have been put to work
usefully.
HE MUST have the makings of
a useful citizen, and I hope
that after a good talking to some
body takes him in hand and sees
that he gets the education and
the training that his talent and
his aptitude and his willingness
to take a chance entitle him to.
SPEAKING further of foolishness-Back
in central Illinois, they
have an annual contest to see
who can eat the most sauerkraut
in three minutes. Last year's
champion was a guy named Dale
Markel. of the town of Ridott.
He ate 2V2 pounds of the stuff in
the allotted time.
He entered the contest again
this year, but was topped by a
citizen of Rockford who stowed
away two and three-quarters
pounds of it in three minutes.
What people will do for notoriety!

f v Certainly!
7TT it is by no means sure that
this farm discontent will be
translated into Democratic vot
es. For one thing. the'"ocace is
sue" is extremely effective here.
"Eisenhower's got the upper
hand on these women." one farm
er said, "they think he'll keer
the ocace." Even those who were
most critical of the Administra
tion tcnried to credit the Presi
dent with ending the unpopular
Korean War.
For another thing, at least as
of now. there is very little love
for Stevenson on the farms.
"Stevenson's just not the man for
the job." one man said, and an
other remarked oddly, "he's
kinda obnoxious to me." Another
farmer was convinced that Stev
enson was a "millionaire plav-
bov who controls most of the rail
roads." But here as in Iowa. Estes Ke
fauver is amazingly, and rather
inexplicably, popular. In the
Presidential primary in the
Spring. Kefauver actually polled
a much heavier vote than the
President in a number of strong
lv Republican farm counties in
Wisconsin. He could almost cer
tainly cut substantially into the
huge Eisenhower majority in
Walworth County, if he led the
ticket.
The Democratic high command
is. of course, fully aware of the
Kefauver popularity on the mid
dle western farms, and means to
exploit it to the hilt. The chanc
es are high that Kefauver will
appear in Walworth County be
fore this campaign ends, to do his
peculiar but effective selling job
on the farmers. But can a mere
Vice-Presidential candidate sell
the whole ticket?
rpHE answer will depend in
part, of course, on Adlai Stev
enson. Kefauver cannot possi
bly do the job alone. Stevenson
must find some way to erase the
mental image of him as the tradi
tional city slicker, which seems
to be held throughout the middle
western farm belt. But if Stev
enson can alter the image, which
he clearly intends to do if he can,
it Is not at all imoossible that he
might substantially increase his
vote in such areas as this.
Even today, indeed, if our
necessarily inadequate pulse-feeling
in Walworth County was any
indication. Stevenson would do
between 5 per cent and 10 per
cent better than he did In 1952,
when Dwight Eisenhower clob
bered him by a 76 per cent to 24
per cent majority. In short, on
the farm as in the cities, in Wis
consin as in Maine, the signs all
point the same way this elec
tion is not yet in the bag for
Dwight D. Eisenhower, not by a
long shot.

C. I. Scofield practiced before
the Supreme Court in Washing
ton, DC. One noon a friend
came into his
office with
"Scofield, when
are you going
to give your
heart to the
Lord?" Scofield
answered
"Right now."
So it was, the
two k n e e led,
with Scofield
t a k i ng Christ
into his heart as the Son of God,
whose blood poured out at Cal
vary, blotted out his every last
sin. Of those days Scofield said
"I had one foot in a drunk
ard's grave and the other slip
ping." Face About Believe down In
your heart that the sinless blood
of Jesus Christ blotted out your
every last sin. Believe and God
writes in Eternal Life.
Then Find time daily for
Bible and prayer. Grow up.
