By james E. Roper

The Fourth Of July holiday
finds Americas foreign affairs
buried in probably the worst
gloom since the dark days four
years ago right after the Korean
war started.
Even then. the United States
coud see a clear-cut military
problem - and it had decisive
friends.
Today, the problems seem
more nebulous. The United
States and it's closest allies,
Great Britain and France. all
follow different lines. Republic
can leaders in Congress follow
still another.
Reds Press Advantage.
This disorganization within the
United States, and within the
free world generally, has hel1ed
paralyze the anti Communist
bloc of nations. The Reds. on
the other hand, have pressed
their advantages so forcefully
that they now are gobbling up
Northern Wet Nam and perhaps
setting the stage for later sub
version of the other Indo-C Chi
nese states of Laos and CAM
bodia.
The spectacle of French Union
forces in Wet Nam falling back
without a fight stuns Washing
ton officials. The failure of
France to keep the United States
informed about these military
moves saddens these officials.
And Americas having to pub
licly demand information fram
Paris shows how strained are
the Franco-American relations.
For months. the United States
has tried to buck up the French
resistance in Indo- China. When
the French said they couldn t
hold on alone, Secretary of State
Dulles on April 20 called for
united action" and started his
frantic efforts to line up allies
to fight in Indo- China. il nee
essary. to stop the Red agrees
sion.
Get Little ReSnOnSe
President Eisenhower and Sec
rotary Dulles emphasized the
transcendent need for stopping
the Reds. When their cries died
down. they found that few of our
allies had responded.
France has continued it's course
of diSengaging it's forces in Indo-
China. The lets make peace
French Premier Pierre Mendes-
France went to Switzerland to
negotiate with Chinese Commu-
mist Premier Chou En-lai. What
happened in those secret talks
the United States would like to
know.
It must be clear to all, how
ever, that the Reds are in North
ern Wet Nam to stay, and the
United States is powerless to dc
anything about it short of a full
scale war that neither Congress
nor the American people is will
ing to support under the present
circumstances.
Some Agreements Made. +
Secretary Dulles troubles with
France simply compound his
troubles with Sir winston
Churchill. The British Prime
Minister, during his trip rc
Washington last week, reached
some basic agreements with Gen
Eisenhower. These were duly
listed.
Gen. Eisenhower and Sir Win
ston, however, did not list tnell
unresolved disputes. Some OF
these are basic.
Aside from the well-publicizeo
split over when and how to write
a treaty for the defense OF South
east Asia, the United States and
Britain have fundamental differ
ences over trade and the pros
poets for peace with Russia.
Great Britain wants to in
tensify Its trade with the Com
munist world. especially in the
Far East, while the United
States is dragging its feet.
The British still think they
can get along with the Reds;
the United States isn't so opti-
mistic. and thus isn't willing to

Youth Injured
By Saw
By KATHERINE e. BASS

Otha (Midge) Grimes, Jr., 18,
eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. Otha
Crimes, 1904 S. 7th Ave-, was hos
pitalized overnight, from injuries
he received from an electric power
saw. Young Grimes is employed at
Balm and Sons, furniture nanufac-
turers, located at 31st Avenue and
Pima. While operating the saw, his
right hand slipped into the blades.
The thumb and two fingers were
badly cut. Surgery was required to
remove the tip of one finger. The
accident occurred about two thirty,
last Friday afternoon, and Grimes
was taken Immediately to Memo
rial Hospital.
Since the fingers were all cut
near the tip, the doctors have as
sured Grimes that he still has five
fingers, as far as their use is con-
cerned. He is still unable, however
to return to work.

that way can be found to trans
fer public property to private in
stitutionS.
Nabrit said many white South
erners are prepared for integra-
ton. For example, recent edito-
rial in the student paper at Tu-
lane University, New Orleans, like
another in the student paper at the
University of Georgia, advocated
the admission of Negroes.
"The picture is not as dark as it
appears to be-" Nabrit said. 1--WE

result of decision by the court.

will prevail"

Desegragation would result, but
not integration, Nabrit said. Negro
and white children still would at
tend schools in their respective
communities, especially in cities.
"The same situation will exist
as it does, say, in Chicago or New
York." Nabrit declared.
On the edge of the Negro or
white community in the South,
there would be a mixed student
body, but with the vast majority
of the students coming from one
group, he explained. Zoning laws
could not Compel a child to go
across town to another school.
"In the rural community, I sus-
pect you will have integration,
Nabrit added. Counties will not be
able to support separate-but-equal
schools. In instances new schools
have been built for colored in rur-
al areas and Negro migration has
left them with only a handful of
students, he stated.
If the court rules against segre-
cation, Georgia and South Caro-
lima will be in need of much good
will, more so than Mississippi, be-
cause segregation has been played
up in politics in these states" Ma
brit said.
He does not believe public
schools will be turned over to pri-
vate interests if the court moves
against segregation. Such action
would endanger teachers pension

mended 3.8 billion dollars less

ton IS: Are we taking a danger

We guessed that the Commu-

Korea? The President gave re-
assurance on this point by saying

low what was spent last year and
Is below the latest estimates for
this year which means a reduc
ton over the two years OF around

program contains, however. the
largest allowances ever made for
some domestic items and includes

Senator Robertson Sees
Encouraging Signs of National Fiscal
Improvement in Presidents Budget

Encouraging aspects Of the
budget message" are reviewed by
Virginia Senator A. Willis
Robertson III his weekly column.
He sees numerous ones. He re-
ports as follows about them:
The most encouraging feature
of the budget is the continuing
reduction Of the gap between
what The Federal Government
collects and what it spends. In
the fiscal yeat which ended last
June spending exceeded receipts
by nearly "a billion dollars This
year the deficit is estimated at
33 billion dollars and if the
Presidents recommendations for
the year starting next July are
carried ont he estimates the de
licit viii be reduced in that year
to 29 billion dollars. This ,esti-
mate assumes that tax reductions
which were made at the begin
ing Of this year. and some further
tax revisions which are recon-
mcnded VIII reduce collections by
around billion dollars. So. with
out the tax cuts. we would have
had a surplus. The President also
pointed out That on a cash basis
the government viii receive more
than it spends next year. The de
ticit figures in the budget result
because several billion dollars
collected viii be credited to trust
funds such as those for old age
and unemployment insurance.
A better indication Of the I'M
provement of our financial situa-
ton since the peak of Korean
War spending is the fact that
new spending authority which
the President asks for the next
fiscal year is 25 billion dollars less
than the high figure Of 1852 ca
reduction of 80 peTcent) and
actual expenditures for next year
are estimated at 8.4 billion dol
lars less than the high spending
mark reached in 1853 "a drop of
