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

er was handed down; it con

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. Fp

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,
