Negro native, George Lusi, was
arrested while sitting in a rest
room reserved for whites.
The Magistrates Court and the
Capetown Province Court upheld
Mr.. Lusi's contention that when
native George Lusi was arrested
facilities provided for natives are
not equal to whites, a native has
legal right to use the white ia
cilities.
The issue is of great significance
because transportation facilities
for natives. housing and utilities
are no where equal to those for
whites.
I'm handing down the decision.
Chief Justic A. Van De Sandt
Centlivres said that an act givin"
railroads segregation powers did
not intend that facilities for diff
ferent races should be different.
Mrs. Lusi's attorneys had con-
tended that facilities at the sta
ton, as is universal. is far inferior
to the white facilities. The gov
eminent could scarcely take any
other stand, since the whole of
South Africa's economic system
and standard of living is based on
inferior wages, and inferior ia
cilities for the Negro majority.
The decision also brought for
ward the election campaign under
way at present, the issue of the
Nationalist Party's determination
to empower parliament to overrule
the constitutional functions of the
Supreme Court of Appeals, and in
effect do away with a constitu-
tional form of government and re-
place it with a sovereignty of Par

The case, in which the Supreme

to become a political football in

Are you one of the millions of Americans
who are saving regularly with Savings Bonds
through the Payroll Savings Plan? If you're
not, why not start now? Invest regularly in
Bonds through the Payroll Savings Plan
where you work. Ask your pay office to save
as little as 25c week for you, or as much
as you are able.
If you can save just S. week regularly
through the Plan, IN five years you will have

way to save because it saves something out
of every check before you have chance to
spend 1t.
So join the Payroll Savings Plan where you
work today. Or, if you are self-employed,
start the Bond-A- Month Plan where you
bank. It's safe, It's sure, it's automatic. And
you will be helping yourself and your country!

rich and colorful background in his profess
sion. In the years since he made secure for
himself place of highest honor, not only
among his fellow workers but among the thou
sands of public figures whom he knew and
wrote about. He was good craftsman, metic-
ulous in his accuracy and objective in his judg-
ments The dignity and warmth of his person.

neither case have the French efforts been out

failure in that area of combat, On the military
side, at a considerable cost in money and lives,
the French have managed no better than an
uneasy stalemate-a condition that has played
a large part in Frances own troubled political

Freedoms Way

General EiSenhOWer'S Minneapolis address
was noteworthy for two things-wise counsel
and good example.
The President firmly opposed and argued
perSuaSively against the all-out military theory
of defense and the fortress" concept Neither,
he said, leads to liberty but, rather. to the kind
of armed camp in which there can be no such
thing as liberty.
His alternative is an adequate defense
which stops short of about defense plus the
highest attainable degree of unity with the
other free nations. To those who have begun
to despair of achieving any unity that will be
effective against the forces of aggression, the
President offered some truly statesmanlike
advice.
Unity, he said, is a product of comradeShip,
patience and compromise. It is not something
that can be dictated or commanded. Nor should
we expect any such thing as perfect unity in
an imperfect world.
Taking note of the mounting disllusion-
ment within this country concerning the
United Nations, General Eisenhower admon-
ished us not, to forget that neither the world
nor the United Nations-is or can be made in q
single image of one nations will or idea. There
is, in the first place, the split within the U. N.
between East and West But even If the U. N.
were to conform to the free-nation concept,
IAlS 1ACoiuCuI I1SIILIy Sdlu, IL WOulu Stll, De
bound to show infinite variety Of opinion sharp
clashes of debate, slow movement to decision.
For all this is little more than reflection Of
the state of the world itself"
To know that this is true we need look only
at ourselves. Within the framework of our
Republic there is, perhaps, the greatest oppor-
tunity for unity. But as the headlines of any
daily newspaper will testify, we are still far
from having achieved anything resembling per-
feet unity. And such unity as we have achieved
has been built up slowly, painfully and at great
cost in human suffering over period of more
than century and half.
So the moral is that we, of all people, should
not be ready to call it quits merely because it
has not been possible, in a little less than a
decade. to create true unity among the free
societies of a troubled world. The wonder is not
= that perfection remains beyond our reach, but
thatGso much has been achieved. And the
essence of the Presidents counsel is that we
must press forward resolutely along the lines
that have been laid out. The most powerful
argument in support of this view is the bleak
ness of the alternative It is possible, of
course, that we shall have to turn eventually to
the fortress" state-a kind of society in which
men are chained to the military chariot and
in which freedom necessarily withers and dies.
That, however, Is not an alternative which
rational men win embrace without exhausting
every possibility of finding better way Ger
tainly we have not yet exhausted the possibil-
tiles of attaining workable unity with our
friends, and the President is wholly right in
urging us to press forward with the work that
we have begun.
