will do as much damage to our way of life as
open warfare. A person needed to travel no
farther than the capital of our nation to see
it, either
Before President Eisenhower instituted
civil rights in our nations capital a visitor
would get a dim view of democracy there He
would see a city in which a person whose
skin was dark would be insulted and perhaps
arrested if he tried to be served in down town
restaurant He would see a city in which a
person with dark skin would be denied hospit-
alization in the segregated hospitals of the
CITY, even if the patients life depended on inn
mediate disqualification. 1t would be hard to
estimate the number of Asians and Africans
who have had a disillusioning view of democ-
racy by visiting Washington, D. c.
President Eisenhower has done more for
our way of life by instituting civil rights in
the nations capital than Senator Mccarthy
ever could by Unfortunately accusing all
men who disagree with him of being Commu-
nists. By taking a positive approach to d big
problem, the President is getting positive re-
suits This writer believes historians viii place
as much value on his civil rights program in
Washington as they will on the battles he
won in Europe.

and sufficient personality to sway all the
white men on the body. How likely is that?
What is needed is officials, no matter what
color, who will look at all matters from the
standpoint of first-elass citizenship and not
from the standpoint of color.
In the matter OF Dunbar, for example,
what delberative body would have located
Dunbar on half block when eight blocks
were available and under consideration in the
Roosevelt Road hospital area, if the children
under consideration had been white" In the
matter of the swimming pool, what delibera-
tive body would have located the ONLY
swimming pool for white boys outside the
city limits? The ruling class, and it is the
ruling class whether we like it or not, cannot
escape its responsibility to rule wisely.
The skill of the workers at the pool has
been hampered by the factors of distance,
limited workers, and insufficient equipment,
if the reports brought to us by responsible
witnesses are true.
In the contemporary tragedy, death of a
Negro prisoner after an alleged whipping and
hard work in hot weather despite an alleged
heart condition and allegedly without medi
cal examination, the same general question
is present. Is this type of thing characteristic
of the treatment of white prisoners? If il is,
then the treatment of all prisoners needs bet
tering.
In the handling of the schools for the
people the same attitude is beginning to creep
forward. The original generous impulses Of
the school for the deaf and blind and the
high schools of Sheridan and Fayetteville
have been met with the general admonition
of go Slow There are a number of localities,
like Fayetteville, where the admonition should
be- DO what you can to increase the efficien-
cy and economy of your educational system"
The Supreme Court is not going to undo any
movement which is plainly intended to care
for all classes while reducing all taxation.
The responsibility for these situations and
for their causes and outeomes is squarely up
to the elected leadership of the people 1t
cannot be delegated to any unofficial persons
or groups. 1t cannot be solved by appointing
one member of minority group to position
and influencing or outvoting him. OF course
it would please us to see more recognition
or rather some recognition, officially extend
ed to Negroes But the essential problem is a
dedication of the officials of the state coun-
ty, and city to a recognition that they and
they alone are responsible for leadership. Ar
kansas has the chance and the start to line up
as the most progressive state in the union or
to wait for others to take the lead and line up
behind the leaders as follower or obstruction
list.

Some of the eye-Witnesses of the attempts
to revive Tommie Grigsby, drowning victim al
the Granite mountain swimming pool, blamed
the drowning of the outskirts -of-town swim
ming program for Negroes They claim that
the doctor had some sort of wreck on his
way to the pool, that it was about 20 or 70
minutes before the rescue squad could arrive
with respirator and aspirator, and that one
life-guard on duty was insufficient
Moreover, the boy was from the South
End boys club, the eyewitnesses point out,
and that was the place first approved by the
city fathers for the location of the pool, CAT
least that is what the public was made to
BELIEVED the time spent in artificial respira-
ton plus the time it took to adjust the respi-
rator could have been eliminated had the pool
been at the South End, they state, Also, 1t is
claimed that even though the pool was in
its present remote location, the drowning
could probably have been avoided if two life
guards had been on duty and a respirator
had been at the pool
Viewed from their angle, the whole af-
fair is a study in second class citizenship.
Equipment, supervision, and remote location
all combined to make an accident probable.
The marvel is that we have gone for years
without a fatal one until now.
According to the reports, while one boy
was being rescued, another was drowning.
The life guard on duty apparently was not
negligent but nobody saw the boy drowning
except an unidentified boy. There was just
too much boy for one lfeguard, and too much
job for artificial respiration. By the time the
doctor and the rescue squad got on the scene,
things were too much gone, apparently for
anybody Still there were by-standers who
thought the efforts to resuscitate should have
been continued.
To harp on one fatality over a period
when there have been several elsewhere, may
have the appearance of overcrticalness. But
the essential point to keep in mind on this oc-
casion is not the number of accidents but the
contributing causes.
AS alluded to in the second paragraph,
the council originally approved the South End
for the location of the swimming pool Some
body caused the council to go over its orig.Sal
location and make relocation at Granite
mountain AT that time. Granite mountain
was outside the city limits. The excuse for the
action is that some Negro leaders wanted it,
1t is said
That excuse is entitled to a whole para
graph here. Occasionally white officials and
leaders assign a second class accommodation
to Negroes, alleging as a reason that, that is
what Negroes want. The presence of one Ne
gro any board or body would not help this
situation unless the Negro happened to have
sufficient vision to know the needs of his race

Joe Wants 10 Be Ike IS
BY lauren White

History will record that President Eisen-
hover did much more than Senator Mccarthy
in curtailing the spread of Communism in the
world While Mccarthy has been busy indis-
criminately accusing various loyal citizens OF
being Communist, President Eisenhower has
been busy creating conditions under which
Communism cannot exist. Mccarthy is busy
antagonzing everyone who disagrees with
him on anything. The feeling is strong among
many Americans that McCarthys fight against
Communism is simply a means to an end.
They feel Mccarthy wants to be big man.
Eisenhower is already a big man. His
chief interest in life today is to make the
world in which he lives a better one. He re-
Allies that grave injustices would exist if no
opposition were allowed to check the rulers

The greatest force between totalitarian-
ism and a tWoparty system is the United

Russia could easily overrun the rest Of the
