Will Arkan sas he untitled to its share of the foreign aid money? Will Arkansas be re-united or kept divided, like Germany? Will the Arkansas problem finally have to he resolv ed by the United Nations? (Even the United Nations has not order ed forced integration of the Arabs and Israelites.) Since the reason the President took over Arkansas was mainly becauso Arkansas was discrediting democracy in the eyes of the world, it ie only logical that Arkansas’ fate be decided by the United Nations, After all, didn’t we just get through joining our iibsrty-loving allies, the Rus sians to make the world (Arkan sas too) safe for democracy? General Eisenhower and his ad visers decided to take all of Little Rock by force. Too bad he picked Little Rock instead of Berlin. He’s the same General who was a party to handing East Berlin to the Russians. This second invasion of the South was prepared as carefully as the Normandy landing. Nash ville and Little Rock were consid ered soft spots. Pushovers. For Nashville is the Athens of the South. Seat of culture. Home of many colleges, three of which are for Negroes. Little Rock, more Midwestern than old-South, had a history of harmonious racial re lations. The army recently issued an order (and cancelled it because of the furor) outlining plans for special training at army bases in riot control on a southwide basis. A pfeview of things to come? Brownell’s Brownshirts will need more units trained in riot suppres sion when they re-take Birming ham, Atlanta, Vicksburg. They ain’t seen nothin’ yet. Faubus Questionable—Eisenhower Indefensible Neither Eisenhower nor Faubus was, I believe, as interested in quelling disorder as in enforcing or preventing integration. Nobody should have called out any troops, unless and until there was actual rioting. Then Faubus could, have called the Guard out, if the Little Rock police couldn’t handle * it. Whereas Faubus’ actions were questionable, Eisenhower’s were indefensible. Eisenhower created a cruel and unconstitutional precedent remi niscent of and leading to a police state. Congress last summer pass ed a law denying use of federal troops in civil rights cases. “In the name of God—in the name of decency—what is happen ing in America?” Faubus cries. “Is every right reserved to the states by the federal constitution now lost?” No, but they soon will be, unless the people soon rebel and re-take their government. The 14th Amendment says that only ( Congress—not the Supreme Court nor federal troops—“shall have power to enforce, by appro priate legislation the provisions of this article.” The Southern states were being occupied when they passed the 14th and 15th Amendments, rela tive to race relations. The South had the choice of agreeing to the amendments or being denied re admittance to the Union and re maining an occupied province (without Marshall Plan.) No where does the Constitution state that education is any business .of the federal government. The 14th Amendment, on which the Su preme Court based its Black Mon day decision, says that no state shall “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protec tion of the laws.” Are separate- but-equal schools not equal pro tection of laws ? Congress has never passed a law forbidding segregation in schools or anywhere else. Only the Supreme Court has passed such a law. And Supreme Courts can’t pass laws, according to the Con stitution. So integration is not the law of the land. This integration fight has a strong political flavor. Political justices set the stage for the poli tical players of both parties. The integration show is being run by Tricky Dickie Nixon, mem ber of NAACP, Sherman Adams, de facto President, and Herbert Brownell, U. S. Attorney General. A Plague On Both Their Houses Thi# in ju*t the beginning uf a nH’Uggle that will grow more hit ter, Thin pwtaeh wan denigned to force a nhowdown in the South before congrennionai elections of and the presidential elections of 19ttQ when the big city Negro vote is figured to be the balance of power, But it’s far from a Republican- Democratic fight in the old sense that the Republicans represent the North and the Democrats the South. Main criticism of Eisen hower by the leading lights of the Democratic Party ban been that he didn’t occupy Arkansas soon enough, Stevenson, Harriman, Truman “would have acted soon er,” Meyner, Kennedy, Humphrey, Kefauver, Soapy Williams, Walter Reuther, Wayne Morse, from which left wing group the next Democratic presidential candidate will doubtless come, would have been tougher on the South than Eisenhower. During the last cam paign Stevenson criticized Eisen hower for being too friendly io the South. The answer is obvious: Politically, the South should se cede and form or join a new party. The Big Issue The Battle of Little Rock is thg wrong war, fought by the wrong man, at the wrong time. Faubus is a so-called Liberal, has never shown any inclii ation to States Rights. This invasion is far big ger than Little Rock or Nashville, or even race mixing. This is a battle for States Rights . . . for the freedom of sovereign states to settle their own problems . . . for the right of free choice and volun tary association. This is a fight against a mushrooming federal monster which threatens to des troy individual freedom and liber ty in America. M AN’S noble companion and friend, the dog, U an excel lent partner for almost any type of hunting venture. From the “just plain dog” type that is usual ly to efficient when the game is squirrels, to the beagles that put the rabbit on the run and the set ters and pointers that hold to a covey of quail, a hunter and his dog. make e pretty picture in any outdoor setting. If you own a hunting dog, you’re proud of him. You do not hesitate to boast of his accomplishments in the field end you feel e sort of personal failure when he ap pears to perform poorly. But don’t feel badly if your dog has an oc casional bad day. He isn’t a human being, but he has his faults just the same. A cold or respiratory ailment is a serious afflication for a hunting dog, for vision is not a dog’s best sense. No pun intended, the dog’s nose is his strongest asset. The dog uses his eyes to avoid obsta cles, not to observe details. This explains why he will fail to see a rabbit running away, but pick up the chase the moment his keen nostrils pick up the scent. The vision of different dogs may vary, even in the same breed. Some can see a moving object 800 yards away, but probably do not recognize it at more than 15C yards. Large dogs usually have better eyesight than smaller ones. Quick recognition depends upor motion. A dog will recognize his master by his gait, last of all by his face. So, don’t be upset too much if Old Faithful doesn’t perform to standard on a particular day, even if it is a day on which you wanted to impress a fellow hunter with the dog’s skill. He may be having trouble with his sniffer. Next time out, he will probably perform feats which will leave even you surprised and amazed WMIMAY, MOYIMISH M, )«•» euqHHii !h# dtawkw with mow lilt MONDAY.

Researchers Seek Hidden Bacteria CLEMSON.—Research on tha winter hiding place of bacteria in peach trees is now in progress at the South Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station. The causal organism of Bacterial Spot is the target of investigations. Dr. John JB. Whitney Jr., pro fessor of botany at Clemsdn, is conducting research to trace this bacterium. Dr. Whitney believes that such bacteria could be traced by the use of radioactivity He had devoted his research time during the past three years to perfecting a technique to accomplish this, and has been working in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commis sion. Dr. Whitney inoculates peach promises rind laws and enjoyed recreation. Gwen Snipes, Scribe. trees with radioactive bacteria and then checks the trees with a Gei ger counter during the winter months to find the bacteria. His major problem has been the diffi culty in confining radioactivity to the bacteria themselvss, and he is now attempting to learn how to control this by a washing meth od. Peach growers may easily rec ognize the disease when cankers develop on the trees, spots appear on the leaves and fruits have pate or gummy areas on them. Hi ad* vanced stages leaves on the tree may fall off prematurely and the tree may die. v Research to control Bacterial Spot in peaches could be of es pecial importance to South Caro lina, because the state derives an estimated $10 million income from peaches during a good season.
