BY THE WAY Bv DORIS A, SANDERS STRANGELY SILENT Messrs. Huntley and Brink- ley, who devoted so much of their new's time not very long ago to aiding and abetting the forces dedicated to denying to Judge Clement Haynsw'orth a seat on the Supreme Court, were strangely silent the other day when the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals handed down its or der to the Greenville schools. The order was signed by Judge Haynsworth and its ef fect will be to create chaos dur ing the middle of a school term in his own home town. Ordi narily, one w'ould think, this would have been given first class news coverage by the national news media. The only trouble is that the networks spent so much time convincing the public that Judge Hayns worth was a racist and a se gregationist—facts which they knew to be untrue—that there would have been too many red faces for the latest news to be televised in color Jesse Helms of WRAI^TV telecast his January 14 View point before the Greenville ord er was handed down; it con cerned similar orders applying to other school districts, but how true his statement, espec ially to Greenvillians at this point .only the callously apathetic will assume that it is something that can happen only somewhere else, to some one else " The Viewpoint fol lows BY JESSE HELMS The current upheaval in the public schools. . in countless cities and counties in all parts of the country, cannot be dis missed merely as instances of temporary and isolated travail. And only the callously apath etic will assume that it is some thing that can happen only somewhere else, to someone else. It is time that the country stopped to examine the whole picture, m its total perspect ive. The message ought now to be clear Federal control of edu cation is now upon us, and it is not-so-slowly but ever-so-sure- ly destroying the public schools and simply because the federal government regards the schools no longer as facilities for edu cation but as instruments for forced integration. It cannot be successfully arg ued by the federal masters that the people were not willing to cooperate in the acceptance of change in traditions and poli cies. While there were many who did not like it. the record shows that freedom of choice was working But the heavy- handed federal bureaucracy and some federal judges were not satisfied with the manner in which Negroes exercised their freedom of choice. So the fed eral power structure decided to force more mixing of the races than the majority of either race actually desired Now, thousands of children— white and black are being bus- sec across cities and counties to acnieve what federal bureau crats and judges call "racial balance" This is creating bit terness and hatred where none previously existed. And it has served to convince countless parents that their government is determined to use its powers unjustly Fortunately, a great many Negro leaders are beginning to see that these federal policies are destructive to the best in terests of their own race.

(Sunphoto), Housing market uncertain, says Willingham "The outlook for the savings and housing markets in 1970 is at best uncertain," J K Will ingham, FTesident of Newberry Federal Savings and Loan As sociation, said today Mr. Will ingham commented on the com ing year as he issued the in stitution's annual report. "In this connection," he said, "much depends on the progress made in the fight against in flation, and all of us hope that the anti-inflation measures will prove more effective in 1970 than they did in 1969." Mr Willingham reported that as of December 31, 1969, total savings deposits of the associa tion amounted to $27,026,754 35, mortgage loans on the books totaled $27,301,095 99 Assets of the institution stood at $30,955,442 65 He said that while 1969 was not as good a savings year as 1968. it was better than in 1966 when tight money was at its worst. Savings account holders at the association received a total of $1,239,668 19 in interest pay merits during the year, making this the largest yearly interest payment to customers in the institution's history During the year Newberry Federal Savings and Iwian As sociation added $191,642 93 to its reserves bringing total reserves up to $2,670,134 07. The annual report pointed out that in general the operations of the association and other thrift institutions were dominat ed by the so-called "tight mon ey" policies of the Federal Re serve Board designed to fight the inflation "As a result of these poli cies," Mr Willingham stated, "and the heavv demand for Rev.
