New Mess In Washington

The danger of making promises of things
dearly hoped for by millions of human beings
without the certainty that these promises can
approach fulfillment is being graphically il
Illustrated to the new Republican administra-
ton. The Republicans promised to put gov
eminent ION a business-like basis" clean up
the ''mess in Washington" and end the Korean
war Although the last promise was not made
in such specific terms, the general impression
was allowed to be conveyed by the office
seeking Republicans that this too was one of
the things they would get done.
Now, although all these things are good
in themselves and every American hopes that
these pressing issues will soon be Strengthened
out, nobody would have demanded such hur-
culean performances from such mere human
beings.
The 'mess in Washington" as far as this
newspaper can determine is still mess. Yea,
il has even been compounded in the 500 days
or more since the Republicans wildly
cheered into office. In addition to whatever
constituted the mess under the Democrats,
there is a new, more squalid mess-the book
burnings" The Republicans must share the
blame for this sorry affair. For one of their
number Sen Joseph A. Mccarthy, is, more
than any other single person, responsible for
this totalitarian tactic And Mccarthy would
probably have not been around Washington to
"sunen up the joint if he had not been given
a public blessing by the Republican party
presidential candidate just prior to last No
vember's election. Even now, all that is need
ed to call halt to the book burning" is

The Street Meets The River
BY Robert Durr

In substance the above is the title of Hold
ding Carriers latest book knitted from the
cloth we call THE South Yesterday and To-
day" Written in Greenville Mississippi where
author Carter is not only the editor of the
Greenville newspaper, which is perhaps the
most progressive newspaper in MISSISSIPPI
the state of resin chewers. snuff dipperS, skin
worshippers and millions of mentally i'll whites
and blacks chained together in poverty and
superstition but is regarded as the New
South spokesman.
It's hard for people to understand a real
southerner, because of the things he insists
upon in the matter of human relations.
For instance, as a rule a white southerner
under the most friendly conditions feels much,
much better if he can call all Negroes by their
first names while insisting by word or action
that he be referred to as Mr." if man or
Mrs" if a woman A world of truly southern
white women want Negoes to address them as
Miss" regardless of their marital status. If
for example ones name is Mrs. Dixie Jones,
she wants Negroes to call her Miss Dixie in
stead of Mrs. Jones.
In the not distant past Fisk graduate
in charge of filling station and ice house
found himself on a friendly basis with two
nearby white youths-one born in Ohio the
other in a down behind where the sun goes
down" part of the state--whose motto is.
Here We Rest" They called each other by
their first names
One day shortly after the southern born
white boy had become sixteen years Of age,
he said TO the young Negro, my father says
am old enough for you to call me Mister" And
insisted upon being so called even though the
Young Negro was his senior. When the young
Negro said ne was not going to call the white

Haired Begins At Home

The Federal Court suit Of two women
challenging the Evansville Public Housing Au-
thoritys alleged refusal to rent apartments to
them because of their race, focuses spot
light on what is perhaps the most fundamental
segregation of a-segregation in housing,
We have heard various theories as to
which form of jimcrow-economic educational,
political-"underlies all others" For our mon
ey it is hard to beat segregated housing in
maintaining condition of prejudice and hat
red that poisons every sphere of life.
We would die if need be to uphold the
Indiana Anti-Segregated School Law, and yet
how much good does 1t actually do other than
establishing a principle? Indignation with all
its benefits can affect only a small minority
of children so long as Negro children are con-
fined to certain residential areas while white
children live in others. The great minority of
pupils can attend the schools nearest their
homes and still be attending segregated
schools.
Economic equality and fair employment
practices will never be moderated by this
newspaper. However, they have an intimate
