Supreme Courts decision is one which

AS white veteran of World War II,
born and raised In the South, fail to
see anything to get excited about in
abolishing segregation in Washington
restaurants. had lunch the other
day at local cafe with a colored
buddy Of mine who received a Bronze
Star and Purple Heart for his services
along the Burma Road. It was the
first time did not feel ashamed for
being a white veteran in a Jim Crow
capital, and I am sure it was the first
time my colored friend felt like first
class citizen. It reminded me of an
other colored EXCL, who once said to
me: 1.-THE Nazis in Germany treated
me better than the white folks in Vir-
ginia where was born"
Eating in public places should be the
right Of all peoples, regardless of their
race. religion or national origin. The
citizen who objects to eating in place

would not be fit company for other citi-
zens of culture and refinement. It is
best for such Doors to eat their meals
at home.

The white people shouldn't become
too panicky about the colored being
allowed to eat and sleep in white res
taurantS and hotels. The grass is
always greener in somebody else's
back yard. After the colored have had
a taste of the white mans paradise"
they will discover it isn't as glamorouS
as it appeared, and even boring at
times, and they will prefer to be with
their own race, as most people do, as
they enjoy more things in common.

the right to play, swim, eat, ETC., with

More on Segregation

The Commission on Community Life
of the Washington Federation OF
Churches has authorized me to write
you and express through you its salts
faction in the decision of the Supreme
Court concerning the "lost laws" Of
1872 and 1873 with particular reference
to the restaurant situation.
Secondly, the commission wishes to
express its genuine appreciation to the
District Commissioners for their prompt
and wholehearted action in the en-
forcement Of these laws. Their action
commends itself to all thoughtful
citizens.
The commission also wishes me to
report it's very great pleasure at the
manner in which the restaurants and
the community have accepted this de-
cision. 1t is q matter Of great salts
faction that we in the Nations Capital
are increasingly implementing our
Christian and democratic ideals.
Tilford E. Dudley,
For the Commission on Community
Life.
The Stars editorial on the restaurant
case decision must seem to many OF
your readers curiously inconsistent. In
stating that the courts decision will
infuSe new energy into the drive for
home rule" youa comment that this is
a desirable result provided that self
rule is to be thing of substance
and not a mere sham or fiction" II
previous home rule bills have not pro-
vided for sufficient legislative authority
for the proposed city council, it is pre-
cisely because of the uncertainty among
constitutional lawyers as to the extent
of congressional domain over the Ma
tional Capital. Such bodies as the
Board of Trade have repeatedly ques-
toned the power of local authorities
under the Constitution in congress
sional hearings on home rule, and an
elaborate thesis had been constructed
by Senator Olin Johnston of South
Carolina dealing with the exclusive"
authority over the District by Congress.
The Supreme Court, by it's entirely
different Interpretation of the word
exclusive" has exposed the fallacious-
ness of these arguments, and paved the
way for greater devolution of power
to the local government to be set up in
the District.
It is in one sense perhaps unfortunate
that the ancient laws, so long in dis
use, should have to be invoked in order
that segregation in District restaurants
be abolished. One must, however, be
sufficiently realistic to know that such
a step would never have been taken by
Congress, where the Southern bloc
would have filibustered bill of this
nature; moreover, the Commissioners
only last year refused to indorse q
similar proposal made by Mr. Donohue.

Effective Biportisonship

The responsible bipartisan leadership OF the
House has reason for satisfaction with its sue
cess in pushing the $499 billion foreign aid bill
to quick passage in that branch Of the Congress.
With the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
already favoring $5.3 billion measure there is
reasonable certainty now that the continuing
American effort to build up the strength Of the
free nations of the world will 60 forward at a
pace that is generally considered effective.
AS President Eisenhower has pointed out in
other aspects of attempting to fix in terms of
dollars or in materiel the exact level of safety,
there is no magic figure for either which as
sures that the objective of guaranteeing ma
tional security will be met. The House au-
thorization for foreign aid represents sub
Stantial reduction from the $7.6 billion figure
recommended last January by former President
Truman and even from the $50 and $5.4 billion
sums proposed later by spokesmen Of the Eisen-
hover administration The $4.99 billion total
was settled upon by the House Foreign Affairs
Committee, however, after careful consideration
and the leadership of both parties joined in
turning back several efforts made on the floor
to reduce the sum or restrict its application.
Most of these were proposals for across-the-
board cuts-generally an unscientihc and in
discriminate way of practicing economy-others
making particular targets of Spain, Yugoslavia
or Portugal, or in attempting to apply pressure
upon some of the friendly nations by imposing
conditions upon their share in the total. The
prevailing argument of the House leadership
was that the total represented balanced pro-
gram in the judgment of those who had studied
it most carefully or would have responsibility
for it's administration
Both the changing character and the
changing geographical emphasis in our foreign
aid effort are reflected in the current legislation
AS much as 80 per cent Of the new authorize
tionS are expected to 60 to baSically military
purposes as compared with about a $3.50 divi-
sion between military and economic aid in the
calendar year 1852 And whereas 73 per cent Of
the funds allotted during the present fiscal year
went to Europe, the new program would devote
So per cent to that part OF the world and 81
per cent to the Far East.
Actual disbursements during the fiscal
year beginning July / are expected to total
more than the new authorizations, the present
estimate being in the neighborhood of $6.8 bill
lion. The Mutual Security Agency has more
than SO billion unSpent from past appropria-
tions.
While there can be no quarrel with every
reasonable approach toward economy, it is
heartening that the House has recognized the
fundamental wisdom in our continuing to help
in the building up of the military power of
other nations opposed to communism There
has been spectacular evidence recently that
there are grave trouble and weakness within
the Communist bloc. It would be untimely and
dangerous for disunity and lethargy to over
take the free nations at this particular point

AS one who always has stood with
the conservative and middle-o the
road elements of the city in regard
to racial matters, I have been opposed
to home rule for the District because
I felt that most of those who clam
ored the hardest for such legislation
had as one of their first objectives the
full-scale integration of all public and
private facilities.
Since this state Of affairs is now
being foiSted upon a bewildered public
by q peculiar Supreme Court decision
and by administration pressure, now
have come around to the conclusion
that home rule for the District, If it
is not weighted to one side and repre-
sentS fully all parts of the city in
proportion to the number of inhabit-
ants, certainly Is to be preferred to
the present set up-a set up which
presents the almost ludicrous picture
of modern city being forced to live
under the rules and regulations of an
ancient. never enforced law Of the
"carpetbagger" era.

AS was expected. the Supreme Court
ruled in favor of Negroes regarding
restaurant segregation.
The white race is being forced to mix
with Negroes, just because eight men
think they speak for the majority. The
correct thing to do would be to have q
referendum. And am sure the ma
jority of the people in the District of
Columbia would be in favor of segre-
cation.

CHICAGO.-In defending food
prices, Paul s. Willis, president
Of Grocery Manufacturers of
America, yesterday told con-
vening food editors that the
latest food price index is more
than 2 per cent below the peak
Of a year ago.
Mr.. Willis analyzed the price
puzzle at the opening session of
the newspaper food editors con-
ference being held this week at
Chicago's Drake Hotel. "It is
disturbing" he stated, "to ste
food prices played up inaccu-
rately in front page stories as
the villain in the cost of living
battle, in view of the actual facts
to the contrary" He pointed
out that higher wage costs,
, higher transportation costs and
higher taxes accounted for
about IS per cent of the in
creased spread" from 1889 to
1852 between what the farmer
received for his raw produce
and the price paid by Mrs. Con-
sumer at the retail store.
DR.. Byron T. Shaw, admins
traitor, Agricultural Research
Administration, United States
Department of Agriculture, dis
cussed the influence the house
wife has had on agricultural
research. When the lady with
the shopping bag indicates she
wants a strawberry with a tart
flavor, or likes her potatoes with
shallow eyes, the scientist de-
VelopS them for her. Through
research better diets have been
made possible. People have
learned to eat less carbohydrates
and more meat, eggs, milk, vege-
tables and fruit. He cited out
standing examples where re-
search has paved the way for
producing more of these pro-
tective foods. Year-round let
tuce, for example, is definitely
a product of agricultural re-
search. There isn't major
crop in the United States that
hasn't been improved and modi-
fled by science to better meet
our needs" said DR.. Shaw.

From the Deep South
We were intrigued with the
crawfish bisque served at the
buffet supper, hosted by the Nc
Ilhenny Company, makers of
Tabasco. 1t had been made by
the family cooks on Avery Island,
La, and flown to, Chicago for
the event. The crawf1sh that
went into the making of this
dish looked like miniature lob
sters; they shouldn't be con-
fused with the Florida variety
which are more nearly the size
of Holsters. With ITS hungry

get a rough idea of how much
work it must have been to catch
