LITTLE ROCK AGAIW
Q Judge Lemley's order,
which grants the plea of the
LiWfe Rock School Board for
a post pone-
ment of inte
gration, has
raised now
the question
which would
otherwise
have faced
the country
when snhnnl
falter Lippmann opens at the
end of Sep
tember. The question is
whether the President is once
again to send troops to the
Central High School, whether
in fact that particular school
in Little Rock is to be under
military guard for the indefi
nite future.
There has been no progress
whatsoever during the past
year towards the acceptance
by consent of integration,
even of the pitiably meager
integration of the seven
Negro children who would be
coming to school in Septem
ber. Gov. Faubus is still de
termined to prevent their in
tegration, and President Eis
enhower is still committed to
use the Federal military pow
er if integration is resisted.
This dismal deadlock is no
doubt the reason why men of
good faith and good will,
like the Superintendent of
Schools, Mr. Virgil Blossom,
and Mr. Harry Ashmore of
the Arkansas Gazette, are
agreed in asking the court to
give Little Rock a breathing
spell. The alternative to the
breathing spell is the renewed
military occupation of the
Central High School.
A year's experience has
shown that in the tension, the
unrest, and the distraction
"the orderly administration of
the school was practically dis
rupted." There is every rea
son to believe that if the
military occupation has to be
renewed in September, the
situation will be at least as
bad, and probably worse.
rpHANKS to the timing of
Judge Lemley's decision,
which he says was deliberate,
we shall not be able to drift
all summer, only to find in
September that we are , con
fronted with a crisis for
which we are unprepared.
The Administration, and
e country along with it, are
In a squeeze where, as things
stand, we are damned if we
do, and we are damned if we
don't. If the Administration
does not support vigorously
and effectively the appeal
from Judge Lemley's order,
it will mean that Gov. Faubus
has succeeded, at least for as
long as he is likely to be in
office, in nullifying the law
s laid down by the courts.
The precedent will have been
established . that nullification
is tolerable.
On the other hand, if on
appeal' Judge Lemley's order
is reversed, the Federal gov
ernment will have won a
technical victory which in
fact condemns it to use troops
to compel integration. That is
the last thing that the Admin
istration wants to do, and it is
the last thing that the wiser
friends of civil rights can
want the Administration to
do.
THE case for accepting the
delay would, I think, be
compelling provided there
were a guarantee that the
time gained will be used con
structively and not lazily
squandered. Unfortun a t e 1 y
there is no guarantee that any
thing useful will be done. For
the President has never ac
cepted the idea that when the
Supreme Court handed down
its big and revolutionary de
cision, it became the duty of
the national government to
see that plans were worked
out to carry out the decision.
As a result, a social revolu
tion in an important section
of the country has been en
couraged from Washington
but it has never been guided.
It has been allowed to pro
ceed in an anarchy of sporad
ic law suits.
In this grave matter which
involves the Federal power, it
has been and it is the duty of
the President to bring about
a continuing cons ultation
among the leaders of opinion
and the officials and the pro
fessional educators on such
questions as to where, when,
how to begin integration in
this locality and in that one.
I cannot believe, for example,
that the consultation would
have approved the idea of be
ginning the great social
change by insisting on inte
gration in a high school for
adolescents which is co-educational.
On the other hand. I
should suppose a consultation
would have supported the
idea of beginning integration
in a state like Arkansas at the
upper levels of education,
particularly in the graduate
schools.
THESE two examples merely
illustrate the kind of guid
ance which the country needs
if it is to find a peaceable way
out of the dismal deadlock. It
is certain that without guid
ance of this sort, we can look
forward to several years of
confusion, disorder, and civil
bitterness.

Try and Stop Me
-By BENNETT CERF-
rTHEY TELL YOU a lot about the intricate, strategic maneu
- years of big league baseball but sometimes the most devi
ous plans of the master minds backfire disastrously. Like a
time years ago when Man
ager Bill Terry was on the
third base coaching line and
his Giants were trying to
solve the elusive slants of
Dizzy Dean. The fellow
pitching for the Giants was
no ' slouch, either a fellow "
named Carl Hubbell, and in
the last of the eighth both
sides had failed to score a
single run.
The Giants got a man to
first with one out when a
weak batter came to. the
plate.. Just as Dean was
about to deliver a pitch, the batter stepped out of the box to
catch a signal from Terry. The same thing happened twice more.
Whereupon the great Dizzy Dean lost his patience and hol
lered, "You lummox, he's tdone give you the bunt sign three
times now! For Pete's .sake, let's go!"
A new frozen food outfit has an intriguing slogan
food you ever thaw."
