BY THE WAY
By DORIS A. SANDERS
LAW OF THE LAND
Ever since the desegregation
decision of the Supreme Court
in 1954, the public has been
brainwashed into believing
that a decision of the Supreme
Court is “the law of the land.”
Nothing is further from the
truth. Only the Congress can
enact laws. A court decision is
simply that—a ruling on one
particular case before the
court. A decision sets a prec
edent which may or may not
be followed in similar cases to
come before the Court. Prece
dent has meant little, if any
thing, to their honors now sit
ting in judgment in Washing
ton. Some decisions made, and
precedents set by the current
court hopefully will be aban
doned by future courts.
In his editorial of February
10, 1909 in U. S. News and
World Report, David Lawrence
makes an effort to set the
record straight as to what is
really the “law of the land”
concerning integration. Wright
Cannon was so impressed by
this editorial that he contacted
f he magazine about reprinting.
You will find the editorial in
this issue of the Sunpaper and
I hope that you will carefully
read it—then write to your
Senators, Representatives, even
the President to ask why the
Department of Health, Educa
tion and Welfare is going
beyond what is required by the
law in order to force racial
balance in schools.
CET THAT MONEY
1 notice that city council
has voted to join some sort of
“regional planning commiss
ion” which I admit I know
nothing about, but I gathered
from the broadcast council
meeting that what interests
the gentlemen is that by join
ing the council, we have a
chance to “get more federal
funds. ”
I wonder if the time will
ever come when ruling bodies
on the city, county, state and
national levels will realize that
those federal funds they are
so intent upon getting are our
funds; lhi> is a huge chunk of
our income that goes to Wash
ington and is dribbled back on
a much depreciated scale.
The council would do much
better if it would petition tho
('ongnsc to cut down on fed
eral handouts rather than try
me ; i get i'm paw into t 1. e
pork barrel.

addition to the school admini
stration building on the prop
