Sen. Me lellan Predicts Split
Report nMcC arthy-Army Row

a former subcommittee aide who
was drafted.
These charges were filed by
Secretary of the Army Stevens
and Army Counselor John G..
Adams, who in turn were accused
by Mccarthy and his aides of using
Schine as hostage" in attempts
to get Mccarthy to sidetrack a
search for Communists in the
Army.
Mccarthy has stepped from his
usual role as chairman of the sub
committee while it investigates the
row. Presiding in his stead Is Sen.
Mundt tR-SD).
Mccarthy has undergone more
than a day of cross-examination
by Special Subcommittee Counsel
Ray H. Jenkins, the subcommittee
members and Special Army Coun-
sci Joseph N. WEIGH. But at least
a couple more days of questioning
seemed ahead of him. Cohn, too,
is scheduled to return for more
questioning.
Carr, while still on tap as a wit
ness, was dismissed as a principal
by a 4-3 subcommittee vote
May rs.
Mundt said over the weekend he
still hopes for single overall
report by the subcommittee, per-
haps with some dissenting views
on a few aspects of the case.
Told of Mundt's comment, Nc
Carthy said:
Every vote on every important
question that has arisen so far
has been along party lines and l
expect that formula will hold
when the final report is made"

feel that any time the Republican
leadership wants to try to chas-
tiSe Mccarthy it can have Demo-
cratic help. But many Senate pre-
cedents and customs are involved
that the Democrats don't want to
upset for fear that if or when
they return to control of the SEN
ate they might face a challenge 20
their own organization control.
One of the customs is that the
majority party shall control the
chairmanships. With only one ex-
ception, when a chairman has
been removed in the past it has
been done on the initiative of the
controlling party.
The exception came in 1924 when
Progressive Republicans revolted
against their party's leadership
and eventually forced a floor vote
in which the late E. D. Cotton Ed
Smith, South Carolina Democrat,
won out.

ed by many of the Democrats as
failing to capitalize on the current
televised controversy over "pres-
sure" and "blackmail" charges
exchanged between Secretary of
the Army Stevens and Mccarthy.
The Flanders resolution deals
with questions incorporated in an
elections subcommittee report ear
ly in January 1853 on accusations
flung between Mccarthy and for
mer Sen. William Benton Cd.
Comm.
I Sen. Lehman (D-Lib-NY) said in
a weekend speech at Waltham,
Mass, that what is needed to
counterfeit McCarthy's tactics sis
a show of some old-fashioned
spunk on the part of the execu-
tive" President Eisenhower has
indicated displeasure with some of
McCarthy's actions but has talked
mostly in general terms.
Lehman said that in the McCar-
thy-Army hearings ''the public has
seen some of the abuses and ugly
implications of what has been TAX
ing place behind the scenes of the
Mccarthy committee during the
past two years."
Flanders basic contention Fri.
day was that Mccarthy stood in
contempt of the whole Senate by
not appearing before the elections
subcommittee while it investigated
charges against him in 1852. Nc
Carthy has characterized that SUBJ
committees report as a "smear."
Interviewed on an NBC TV-radio
show last night, Flanders declared
all McCarthy's words and actions
must now "be seen and listened
to" in the light of this "unresolved
contempt of the Senate"
Criticizing Mccarthy on other
counts, the Vermont senator as
clearly in the direction of fight
ing communism with fascism."
1'This little difficulty we are in
is not a difficulty Of this admins
tration," he said. "It is a difficulty
of the last $500 years, when West
ern civilization hepan and If
we do not see what is happening
and do not know what to do about
it it is going to see the end of
those $500 years."
Mccarthy, returning from a
weekend speaking trip, told news
men on his arrival in Washington
he had no comment on Flanders
remarks.

tics The Democrats in the Con-

grounds that it is solely their
problem. And the Republicans can
no longer indulge in the luxury of
appeasement at any price,"
Whether this foreshadowed any
general Democratic movement to
support Flanders remained to be
seen, but immediate indications
were such would not be the case.

ry up and work out a good indignation pro
cess before the Supreme Court hands down
one that we may not consider good for our
particular community.
We are not well acquainted with the pro-
posals which Arkansas will make to the Su-
preme Court. We are confident that those pro
posas emanate from good lawyers. But we
would have more confidence in them if they
we're the cooperative" effort Of groups which
would include Negro integrationists. The in
junction, over and over repeated to take it
slow, has all the earmarks of Wait till we
get the stuff watered down.
Some conclusions are obvious to all who
look One of them is that there is no good
sense whatever in a pupil passing by a good
school to 60 to a poor one. Another is that
there is no sense in paying bus fare and tu-
iton for a pupil to leave town and go a long
distance to school to another town when there
is good school with empty seats in it in
his own town The long pause to wait for the
Supreme Court to tell me there is a school
with empty seats in it in my community may
indicate tagging brain, but it most certainly
does not indicate thinking one.
The average Negro. even the one who
may say not, wants all possible speed in the
indignation of public schools Thousands of
children have been integrated since the dec
sion of the Supreme Court was handed down
Only few isolated instances Of trouble have
occurred and those have been due to hostile
leadership not to quick action
The whole matter boils down to this
Some people seem constitutonally untitled to
lead, They want TO wait till someoneelse leads
and then follow or grumble The laggard al
ways thinks he can stop human progress by
slowing down. Today the world is geared to
a new fast tempo. The individual or nation
who cannot match its speed is headed for
trouble.

The NAACP or The NAAWP Which,

and race hatred.
Now we would not state Internationally
that a national association for the advance
ment of white people is not needed. Further,
if there were such an organization operating
legitimaely and actually helping white PEG
pie, we would support it. Yet, there are mary
reasons why there is not the same need for
an NAAWP that there is for NAAGP. Those
the NAAWP is designed to help have every
conceivable advantage over any group thai
might try to stop their advancement AS a
group, they have completely dominated and
controlled America from the time they first
set foot on this soil. Further they make, en-
force and interpret the laws under which the
live.
Although an NAAWP couldn't possibly
have the same function as an NAACP, it
could be success ii organized to adVocat2
fairness. Since it isn't, the leader is either in
iail or out on bond, while the leaders of the
NAACP are honored and respected.

A headline in a local daily reads, Negro
teachers oppose hasty indignation action
The word "hasty" has two meanings. One
meaning is speedy or expeditions. Another
meaning is precipitate or headlong. The trst
meaning implies that an act will be performed
quickly The second meaning implies that an
act will be performed thoughtessly The use
of the word 'hasty" rather than the word
sspeedy" in connection with Indignation is
usually intended to convey the idea that quick
indignation is needless integration and may
lead to disaster because of the element of
thoughtlessness in it.
The advocates of quick Indignation do not
like the use of the word "hasty" to describe
their conviction because of the implication OF
lack of thought in the word "hasty' Ihere
is a world of difference between thoughtful
and slow An earthwom is much slower than
a mammal but you wouldn't call 1t more
thoughtful There is no particular virtue IN
lust being slow. If there were, we would Is
sue honor cards to habitually tardy pupils IN
stead of perfect attendance cards TO thoSe
who are habitually present on time. Tagging
always takes second place to leading.
1t is true that the Supreme Court has not
vet laid down a pattern of desegregaton. 1t
is to a large extent true also that the prob
lems involved in desegregation are local to the
extent that local educational conditions vary.
II is true also that cooperation and good Will
help to bring success in all our endeavors
But if the local conditions of education
vary, and one procedure will fit one commun-
itv and another another, why should we say
TO all communities Go slow Don't do
ANYTHING Wait for the Supreme Court
which knows nothing of your local conditions
to lay down a general procedure before you
adopt procedure.
If we are to be leaders and not just lag
CARDS. then it would seem that the most
thoughtful attitude would be Let us hur-

The leaders of the NAACP are honorable,
law-abiding men. They are respected Wher-
ever they 60 by those who believe IN falr
play. The organization they lead is noble
one. 1t is, as its name implies national as
socation for the advancement of colored peo-
pie, and there are many good reasons why
such an organization should exist, Those 1t Is
specifically designed to advance are the most
handicapped racial group in America econom-
ically, politically, and educationany. Further
the people the NAACP are designed to help
have little voice in making, interpreting or en-
forcing the laws under which they live, Inc
NAACP is a law-abiding organization and
nearly ever position ii takes is backed up by
the constitution
The leader of the NAAWP is not an hon
orable man. He is not respected where he
goes and at this writing he is either In jail
or out on bond. While the leaders of the
NAACP are trying to sell justice, fair play
and love of fellowman, the leader Of the MA
AWP is trying to sell injustice, unfairness

The commissioner Of education was on the
same program that Alderman Archibald Carey
of Chicago was on and preceded the Chiea-
goan Mr. Ford spoke at length, and immedi-
ately after his speech, he excused himself,
which was proof that a white man can gi'e
it but he can't take it. If Mr. Ford could've
taken it and listened to Mr.. Carey's speech,
he would have left the auditorium a much
wiser man. He would have learned more aboat
the Negro and America in 60 minutes than he
could in 60 years, with his present thinking
if his expression is any indication.
Mr. Ford acknowledged that Arkansas
was violating the law since the Supreme
Court was unanimous in its decision of May
II, outlawing segregation in public education
but he also implied that Arkansas didn't have
sense enough to stop or, she was too stub
born to do so until she was ordered

things first. that white people don't Know

the advice Mr. Ford has been getting has been
erroneous For Mr. Fords information, the
Negro has been dissatisfied with his position
in dixie for over half century, but 1t wasn't
until during World War H. that he could do
very much about it, During World War IL,
