Why Kid Ourselves?
Running through many of the comments, official,
editorial and otherwise, regarding the situation in
Little. Rock, is a strong implication that while the
law regarding school segregation should be obeyed,
the Supreme Court made a gross error in its interpre
tation of the Constitution, concerning it.
Those who take this view, we think, should spend
a few minutes reading the Constitution, and spelling
out exactly wrhere they believe the Supreme Court
erred. ,
i
MO. 1 : They could hardly deny that in Arkansas, and
many other southern states, laws have ' been
passed, or official actions taken, which would deny
equal rights to school children because of their race
and color.
On the ground of color, and that ALONE, they
would place all the whites in one set of schools and
all the blacks in another.
Now if that isn't a direct violation of the XIV
amendment and of the. entire spirit of the American
freedom and tradition then what is it? The XIV
amendment clearly declares :
"No state shall make or enforce any laws which shall
abridge the privileges . . of the citizens of the United States
. . or deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws."
Were the privileges of those colored' citizens of
Little Rock who wished to send their children to the
Central High school "abridged" or weren't they?
Were their children given equal protection of the
laws, or by force did the Governor of Arkansas refuse
to grant that protection?
The answer in both instances, appears to us,
obvious.
MOW the opposition to such an interpretation in
the "Deep South," where, in at least one state,
the blacks outnumber the whites, is quite understand
able. But such opposition on the basis of the CON
STITUTION of the United States IS NOT.
In other words, instead of the southern "Nullifi
cationists" asking that the Supreme Court change its
decision, it should ask that the U. S. Constitution be
changed.
Let the 14th amendment be repealed as the 18th
was.. Let the people of this country and the world,
know that this is no longer a land where all citizens
are. equal regardless of "race, color or creed;" but
where the white race is supreme, and where the non-
whites are welcome, so long as they behave them
selves and willingly accept a curtailed and "second
Class" citizenship.
m m m -m v
WHY kid ourselves ! Or our friends abroad.
That is in a few words, what the South wants,
and what manyof its most prominent leaders today
express a willingness to "fight and die for."
So why not be honest about it:
Instead of picking on the Supreme Court and de
manding its change and reconstruction, why not face
he facts and pick on the "letter and the spirit" ot
he Constitution and see that by due process of law,
both are CHANGED.
THAT, we grant, would require a major operation.

The Fulton-Faubus Hook-Up
The only prominent figure in the newspaper, radio
or "T.v. Held we nave read or neara, wno agrees
with Governor Faubus, is Fulton Lewis Jr.
We don't know whether the Arkansas Governor
heard Lewis over the air the other night, and decided
to follow his "line," or whether he thought up his
scurrilous attack on the Eisenhower administration
Lhimself . In either event here are a couple of ideological
Siamese twins as far as the duty of upholding the
fundamental law of the land is concerned.
As Lewis pointed out, in effect, it is up to a state
whether or not it wishes to enforce the Constitution,
as interpreted by the Supreme Court. Also whether
it wishes the National Guard a Guard supported by
the government to turn against the Government and
prevent the enforcement of its laws and decrees, or
the reverse. ' '
IT was a most inflammatory and subversive harangue,
truly shocking, to come from such a supposedly re
sponsible and conservative source. It should lead to
the dismissal of Lewis from the nation's airways, or
at least the withdrawal of his sponsors, but we don't
suppose it will result in either.
We so soon forget!
"THE Arkansas Governor followed the same line,
compared the calling out of U.S. troops, and the
taking over of the National Guard, to the abuses
of Hitler's storm troopers in France, and the Kremlin's
use of tanks to mow down unarmed and defenseless
opponents of Communist tyranny in Hungary!
The Faubus speech was' a smoother effort, deliv
ered in an exaggerated tone of pious self -righteousness
and martyrdom. But buried beneath that appe
tizing hunk of-"oratorical ham" the sharp jaws of the
"bar-trap" were open. If that demagogic appeal ob
viously triggered especially for home consumption,
doesn't lead to further rioting in Little Rock, it won't
be because the Arkansas chief executive didn't TRY.
"TO anyone who has been in the newspaper business
for any length of time, the Faubus type is very
familiar.
This type has no regard for facts, no interest in ;

THE DRAGON IN THE BOX
Little Rock, Ark. One native
of this unhappy city used an odd
phrase to describe the situation
here. "It's kind
of like you put
a dragon in
a wooden
said. "That
dragon is sure
as hell gonna
escape."
In the last
few days here,
the dragon has
ii x i i
Stewait Alsop an too visioiy
escaped from the box. For what
has happened here has revealed,
with awful clarity, the bitter ten
sions that unaerly tne placid
surface of American life.
Little Rock is,fter all, a rath
er typical American town
throughout the crisis, life has
gone on here much as elsewhere,
with fall bargain sales and
bridge teas and meetings of the
Optimists Club. Little Rock is
not even a real Deep South town
want a fight, by God they'll get
a fight." ' ,
Even the optimists admit that
the ugliest sort of racial violence
is still possible here, whether in
the city itself beyond the reach
of the troops at the school house,
or at the school after the troops
have been withdrawn. But even
if the optimists are right, and
the dragon is safely nailed in
the hog-box here in Little Rock,
what has started here is unlikely
to end here.
For it is grimly significant
that even his bitterest enemies
agree that, as of today, Orval
Faubus is a hero in Arkansas. If
an election were held tomorrow,
he would win hands down
against all comers. The Faubus
formula for political success
might read 'as follows: Defy the
Federal government, an . thus
create a situation in which mob
violence and Federal interven
tion are inevitable, .and bask
thereafter in the warm glow of
popular approval. The meaning

Favors Esperanto
To the- Editor: Americans
should not sit back and expect
the international language prob
lem to be solved by the rest of
the world's learning English,
one of the .most difficult of
languages. This attitude fosters
more ill will abroad than most
pf our complacencies. Esperanto,
already long proven and widely
used, is the logical choice for an
international "auxiliary" lan
guage. While the Esperanto move
ment stresses Esperanto now for
the convenience and pleasure of
those who wish to widen their
international interest and con
tacts, it also looks to the event
ual aim of teaching it to school
children universally.
One government, possibly our
own, might initiate the move
ment in the United Nations.
Then, when a generation of in
terlinguists grows up to take its
place at the helm of world af
fairs, the - use of a neutral,
simple, but richly expressive in
ternational language will permit
the closer sharing of common
interests and concerns.
The language barrier, now
more effective than an Iron Cur
tain, will have been surmounted.

in Washington, D.C., and there is
nothing here like the solid Ne
gro city-within-the-city you find
in Philadelphia or New York or
Chicago.
Little Rock's - race ' relations
have been uneventful in recent
years, and the racial extremists
have found no support in the
press, which is not true in some
other Southern towns. The Na

numbers, and the Little Rock in

than real.
of the Faubus stripe.
T?OR such reasons, knowledge-
able people have J advertised
Little Rock's integration in ad
vance as a model of what peace
ful integration ought to be. In
stead, the dragon of racial vio
lence has escaped, leading to the
greatest constitutional crisis
since the Civil War. And the end,
almost certainly, is not yet.
To be sure, Orval Faubus, Ar
kansas' devious and ambitious
Governor, let the dragon out of
the box. The point not to over
look is that the dragon was
there all the time, lurking be
neath the calm exterior of this
seemingly typical American
city.
The unreasoning fears and
frustrations and ugly hates
which surround the race issue
and not only in the South have
boiled horribly to the surface.
You could read them on the
contorted faces of the house
wives screamifig outside the high
school on Monday morning, or
in . the sheepish-secret-s ullen
faces of the crowds retreating
Deiore neaerai bayonets on
Wednesday.
A LREADY, moreover, the ex-
tremists have achieved
blackmail power in a good many
parts of the South, so that it
takes real courage to take
moderate stand in public. Inter
view a moderate on the integra
tion issue in Little Rock today.
and you are almost certain to
hear the timid, meaningful
phrase: "But don't quote me."
On the other side of the ledger
are the good sense of the major
ity of Southerners, and the rec
ognition by responsible Southern
leaders that violence is a sharp
cutting, two-edged sword. But
Little Rock makes one thing
clear. If the dragon is not to
escape from the hog-box again.
and in an even more terrible
way, President Eisenhower must
achieve a near-miracle of na
tional leadership, at once boldly
firm and infinitely cautious. For
no one who has witnessed the
ugly events in Little Rock in the
last few days could doubt that
there is in the racial issue the
stuff to tear the country to
pieces.

FEDERAL FORCE AND

One wonders whether Louis
(Satchmo) Armstrong's quick
and extreme reversal in his ex
pressed feelings about President
Eisenhower and the U.S. gov
ernment carries with it regret
over having popped off in the
first place.
Last week Satchmo called the
president "two-faced" and said
the government "can go to hell,"
because it had not intervened
with force in Little Rock.
Now that, it-has, everything
is just dandy, the ' president is

to go to Russia in behalf of the

Suspicious of 'Termites'
To the Editor: So the termites
have pulled in their horns. The
giant had begun to stir; he was
awakening; that is to say the
'inarticulate public' was begin
ning to mutter.
The county 'subdivision' jdea
was shelved for the moment.
The termites would wait for
another chance when the mut
tering ceased. Then it would be
put over secretly and the foul
deed would be 'A fait accompli'.
Cunning, are they not? ,
Shall the public go back to
sleep? If it does, it deserves all
the termites can hand out, which
will be plenty.
Why. are they so anxious to
'put it over',? There must be a
very potent reason. Let's see.
Must be that there is a goodly
bunch of 'simoleons' in sight
somewhere. ' ......
Oh: yes, a good sized bunch
of officials will be needed, with
goodly salaries. Also, 'business'
must get a finger into the pie
somewhere, or 'business' would
NOT be interested. So we can
take things for granted:
Who is slated to pay the bills?
Why, the . fool taxpayer, of
course, who else?
The taxpayer should know,
but likely does not, that a tax
once levied is seldom gotten off
his neck. It is intentionally put
there , for keens, barring his
awakening to the facts of life
and politics.
We, the people who must foot
ALL the bills of government,
must stay awake.
Who knows, another damnable
sneaky attempt to foist an addi
tional- load upon us may be in
the making at " any time. Just
like the "subdivision plan that
so nearly succeeded, and would
have done so, except for an un
intentional leak from the above
mentioned termites.
It would seem, to a man up a
tree, that we should, at the next
election, choose men for our
county, offices who will truly
have the interests of the man
who pays the bills under con
sideration at all times, and not
just his own desires. Especially
when it adds to the burden of
the common man.
Why not retire, permanently,
the present incumbents, consti
tuting the County Commission
ers, AND the County Judge?
Let us not give them another
chance to 'put over' something
we do not want, now or ever.

the truth. Its only interest is what will stir up the
animals and bring in votes. The demagogue appeals,
therefore only to the fears, prejudices and hates of
the people, with no regard for what may happen to
his community or state, so long as he escapes and re
tains power for himself.
: And the type, almost invariably, has a great gift
of gab, a shrewd sense of mob-psychology and timing,
and the subtle specious persuasiveness of speech akin
to that of a gold-brick salesman, y; . .
Finally, as experience here in' Southern Oregon
has often demonstrated, the sad fact about this ex
tremely dangerous demagogic type is that so many
people who, by education and experience, SHOULD
know better, fall head over heels for it.

president's reluctance to take the
extreme step which he finally
did in ordering U.S. troops there.
That the federal government
has the power to enforce inte
gration with troops has been
obvious, but nobody will be very
happy if that is the only way it
can be accomplished. President
Eisenhower and all other respon
sible, sober-minded people have
been hoping that this drastic step
would not be necessary.
There needed to " be a real
demonstration that is. was neces
sary. Agitators and hoodlums in
Little Rock gave that demonstra

Many of them who would other

use of federal troops are con
ceding the president had no oth

are ' a courageously voicing this
view. ' .
In the long run, the success
of integration depends on its ac
ceptance in the minds and hearts
of the people. President Eisen
hower knows federal troops can
not force this acceptance. His
only purpose in ordering them
to Little Rock was to prevent

It happened like this:
Washington's unofficial social
arbiter a Mrs. Carolyn Hagner
Shaw decided it is too risky.
Digging back into social history,
she dredged up the case of a
plumpish dowager who got aH,
snarled up when she tried to
curtsy before the Duke of Wind
sor at a Washington affair and
FELL FLAT ON HER FACE.
So it has been decided in the
upper echelons that when Queen
Elizabeth comes over to visit us
next month a HANDSHAKE will
be de rigeur.
It's probably just as well.
