The Farmville herald and farmer-leader. (Farmville, Va.) 1934-1957, 1953-06-23

A sign Of confidence in the future was
recently given when the automobile indus
try granted labor major concessions and
more money. And a recent poll Of business
men showed they plan to spend more money
on plants and new equipment this year than
in 1852.
Also. Government economists have now
estimated that Government spending in
fiscal 1854 (Which begins July lsD will be
about the same as it has been in fiscal 1853.
Moreover, state and local government
spending is expected to rise in fiscal 1854.
1t looks, therefore, that the worst which
can be expected in the latter half Of this
year is an economic sterilization. or re-
adjustment. No severe recession IS IN sight
and r. on the contrary - there are many
indications that business will be very good
for some time to come.

knowledge employed 50 effectively by
Senator Taft.
1t is not an eXuggeration TO say that
Senator Taft has become the most powerful
man in Congress. In his position he has
posed the new Administration with occasi-
onal difficulties sometimes bluntIN dis
agreeing with methods favored by Presi-
dent Eisenhower. But despite these differ
ences Senator Taft has been a capable floor
leader and mas worked faithfully to put
over most Of the Administration program.

He hopes to be able to resume active COM
mand after treatment for his illness Re
publicans and Democrats alike hope Sena-
tor Taft's recovery will be a speedy one.

Future Business

4 MERlCANS have been reading for more
than year that recession was due in
the latter part of 1853. More recently there
have been definite signs that evelling-otf
stage may have been reached in some fields
of the national economy. Industrial produc-
ton has been comparatively steady since
March. The stock market has been weak
recently. and farmers have continued to be
pressed.
On the other hand, the gross output of
goods and services in the second quarter Of
1888 will be higher than in the first quarter
and in the first quarter the gross output
was higher than in the fourth quarter of
1852
Personal income is still rising, and
American consumers bought at record
rate in the first three months Of the year
Savings are also increasing.

Readers wonder why the retail
price Of beet IS still high. The
answer is that the beef now in the
stores for sale was purchased by
The packers at high prices. We
must wait until this high priced
beet is eaten before the retail
price Will drop further This may
take four to SIX months The same
principle applies to many foods.
Advice Home Freezers
Deep freezerS are good for the
home and good for the nation as
a whole These, however, should
lie filled lntelligently. To get the
most from buying in quantity, the
family should give real study to
seasons. crop reports, and other
factors. The first verse of the
third chapter of the Bible Book of
Fcclesiastes gives good advice to
those who buy food for storing
We should buy in quantity

consider quality as we'll as price

Whether the practice of
sending lawyers from the
Department of Justice to
try civil rights cases will be
continued is not known. I
can saw, however, that the
two lawyers from the Crimi-
nal Division of the Depart
ment of Justice, l.. E.
Broome and Emory S. Aker-
man, who were handling
the Miami bombing cases
before the Administration
changed, are continuing to
handle that grand jury in
vestigaton.
And the Justice Depart
ment is looking for another
Chicago lawyer to retry the
Cicero riot case. AS you may
remember, convictions were
obtained of the police chief
of Cicero and two policemen
but the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals
awarded them new trial.
Leo Tierney, a Chicago
lawyer, who was appointed
a SPECIAL assistant to the At
torney General for prosecu-
ton of that case, has mott
fled the Justice Department
that he will not be available
for the second trial.
In his Mount Rushmore
speech, President Eisenhow-
er was quick to claim credit
for his Administration for
the victory in the Thompson
Restaurant case. He said:
" before the bar of the
Supreme Court, the Attor-
ney General has successfully
appealed for the upholding
of laws barring segregation
in all public places in the
District of Columbia"
First. ] should like to
point out that it was the
National Lawyers Guild,
which dug up the so-called
lost laws" enacted by the
short-lived District of CO.
lumbia Legislative Assem-
bly, in 1872 and 1873.
These Acts made it a
crime for owners of restau-
rants and other places of
public accommodation to re-
fuse to serve any well-be-
haved, respectable person.
Vlolators are subject to a
500 fine and forfeiture of
licenses.
The case to test whether
these laws were valid when
enacted and, if so, whether
they were still in force and
effect was brought by the
Corporation Counsel of the
District of Columbia in
March, 1850.
After the case had reach
ed the United States Court
of Appeals for the District
of Columbia, Philip B. PERL
man, who was the Solicitor
General of the United
States under President Tru-
man, filed a memorandum
urging the court to review
the decision of the Municipal
Court of Appeals. He later
filed a brief on the merits
in the United States Court
Of Appeals.
That court ruled on Jan
uary %, 1953-two DAYS af-
ter the Eisenhower Admin
istration had taken office
that the 1872 and 1873
Acts were unenforceable.

luncheons he gave for men,
bers of Congress.
At the luncheon at which
he was a guest, Mr.. Powell
spoke to the President about
a minor matter. The Presi-
dent suggested that he write
him a memorandum. Mr..
Powell returned to his of
flee and Immediately did so.
He got a quick response.
From that time on he has
enjoyed a relationship with
the White House that he
has never previously had.
Mr.. Powell established liza
son with Major General Will
ton b. Persons, Special AS
sistant to the President, and
Maxwell M. Rabb, assist
ant to Sherman Adams, the
Assistant to the President.
Make Rabb is handling
some of the problems of
minority groups similarly as
did David X. Niles, who was
an Administrative Assist
ant to President Truman,
and Philleo Nash, who was
Mr.. Niles assistant.
Powell last June 3 sent
to President Eisenhower an
"open wire" In other words
he gave to reporters copies
of his telegram before he
ever sent it to the White
House.
Powell charged in that
telegram that members of
the Presidents official fam
lily were undermining his
stated position that there
can be no moral or legal
justification for segregation
wherever federal funds are
spent.
He charged that Admiral
Joel T. Boone, Chief Medi-
cal Director of the Veterans
Administration, had reiter-
ated his intention of con-
tinuing racial segregation in
veterans hospitals; that Sec
rotary of the Navy Robert
b. Anderson had written
General Persons that he
would continue to maintain
racial segregation of civil.

and that Mrs. Oveta Culr
Hobby, Secretary of Health
Education and Welfare, had
written Secretary of Defense
Charles E. Wilson, asking
him to drop the survey OF
state operated schools on
Army posts which Presi-
dent Eisenhower had direc-
ted him to make with a
view to ending segregation
In such schools.
Now, President Truman
would not have answered
a telegram or letter made
public before he received it.
If he had been asked about
such a telegram Or letter
at a press conference, he
would have made some dis
paraging remark about the
sender.
But not President Eisen-
hover. He answered Mr..
Powell's "open wire" He
said ne had made inquiries
OF the officials to whom you
refer and learn that they
are pursuing the purpose of
eliminating segregation in
tederally controlled and sup
ported institutions -

Peace Group Seeks
Role in Haya Case
By the Associoted Press

The American Peace Commits
sion sought yesterday to retain a
role in the dispute between Peru
and Colombia over what should
be done with Victor Raul Haya
de la Tore, leader Of the Peru
Wan opposition.
Mr.. Haya has been refugee
in the Colombian Embassy at
Lima, Peru, for nearly five years.
Peru wants to arrest him.
Colombia complained last
month to the five nations COM
missions that the Peruvian po-
lice were interfering with the
right of Colombian diplomats in
the close watch over the EN-
baSSy.
Yesterday Peru sent a note re-
fusing to discuss the case before
the commission on the grounds
that the International Court of
Justice has already ruled that
Mr.. Haya's refuge is illegal. Co.
lombia relies on another ruling
OF the court which says it does
not have to hand him over.
The commission met for over
an hour yesterday at the home
of Mexican Ambassador Luis
Quintanilla. its chairman. It de-
cided to- acknowledge receipt of
Peru's message, forward it to Co
lombia and meet again next
week.
