Down at bottom he is right to weigh every fact and factor carefully, for war is no sport to be engaged in casually. When this thing cools off let’s examine ourselves and our com mitments to see whether we are too soft and flabby and too easily prevailed upon to guarantee ev erything to everybody all over the world I have a deep-seated conviction that the Colored teachers and ministers are just as desirous of maintaining Colored schools and Colored churches as the white people are desirous of maintain ing white institutions. Frankly am thoroughly Southern, a na tive of South Carolina . and a grandson of Virginia. But the Colored people have made not able progress under their own leaders, and usually with the body; my idea is to conserve what belongs to all races and people and remain beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal courts, bueraucrats and sky-gazing poli ticians. We still have the Federal Gov ernment arrogantly meddling in many things, wage rates and a thousand things. Unless the Government is prepared to guar antee a profit how can it legally require minimum wages? If a company can’t earn the minimum it will close up; but if it can pay high wages it does so, in order to hold its workers. Don’t virtually all big concerns in our nation pay more today than the minimum? They do. Why? Because they can and because it is good man agement to pay all you can. If X pays 75 cents an hour and Y pays 85 cents the competition for help regulates wages. Should the Government guar antee a certain price to the butch er, the baker, the grocer? Should the Government guarantee to every man a living? of excellent academic prepara- license age from 14 to 16. | tion scheduled last December 6, tion who were virtually failures The bills to ^ aisc u sse< i at this after the death of Justice Rob- as teachers.

It is of small avail that the teacher be scholarly and stud ious if the teacher can’t teach. Money can’t make teachers; it may help keep some real teach ers, but we don’t solve the prob lem merely by bringing thous ands into the calling. Teaching is a profession, in some cases; a mere temporary job in most others. A real teach er, an effective teacher is beyond all price. Teaching is hard work even for capable, successful teachers; it is a steady, constant nervous strain five or six hours a day. In com parison with the nervous output of a teacher other work is easy. How can we keep the success ful teachers. How can we attract to teaching men and women of force and personality? • * • The Governor’s suggestion that Congress should limit the appel late jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the United States is very interesting, providing the Su preme Court did not find a way to circumvent the Act of gress. For laymen let us consider this: the Constitution says, “In j all the other cases mentioned the oral arguments probably will be scheduled promptly.

But Chief Justice Earl Warren. wants the weight of a full and 1 unanimous court, if possible, be hind the desegregation decree, as was the case in the historic de cision last May outlawing sepa rate school systems for Whites and Negroes.

These two bills are in a group of six recommended by the state committee studying ways of keeping schools racially segre gated. The bills ran into strong oppo sition last week from Senators! Baskin of Lee and Wallace ofi York. They said repeal of the! attendance law was too sweeping, j As a substitute, they offered a suggestion that the law remain on i the statute books, but give coun-1 ties the right to waive its en forcement. Several senators, led by Gres- 1 , sette of Calhoun, and Jefferies of Colleton, called such an arrange ment “clearly unconstitutional.” A joint House-Senate commit tee has scheduled a 3 p. m. hear ing tomorrow on revision of the state’s commercial fishery laws.
