from seven to nine classes ex-
pected out for the first double
header.

ston Cove and return.
All this adds up to a heavy
schedule of about IA races.
which would be run off long
before many shippers from
Chesapeake Bay clubs even have
launched their boats for the
season.
PRSA for years has timed its
spring series to end just ahead
of the active racing year on the
Bay. AS a result, Potomac
sailors show up very we'll in the
Bay regattas each year.
Tentative Schedule.
Race Chairman Ben Minor
lists this tentative schedule Of
starts for Sunday:
l:05-Auxiliary Class
l:10-Thistle Glass
1:15-Chesapeake 20s Glass
1:20-Lightning Class
1:25-Comet Class
1:30-Penguin Glass

1:40-Tempest Class
Although they may not show
up for the opener, a group OF
Hampton One-Designs is ex-
pected to join the series at some
point.
The committee sets no firm
starting time for the second race
for all classes Sunday. They get
away just as soon as all boats
are in from the first race.
The usual series of courses in
the river between East Potomac
Park. the National Airport and
the railroad bridge again will be
used.
Meanwhile, Commodore Bob
Busby reports plans are shaping
up for departure from the ira
ditional Hains Point double
header May 2. It is proposed
that for the first race that day
the fleet race from Hams Point
down the river to finish off
Old Dominion Boat Club. The
second race would be run off
opposite Alexandria on the
Maryland shore.
Auxiliaries Try Again.
PRSA members who own
auxiliary sailboatS-craft. with
at least cabin facilities - will
make q fresh try at running
races as a separate class in the
weekly schedule. Several boats
came out last fall. and prospects
for the spring are much brighter.
There are II auxiliarieS in the
class ranging from 17-foot
cabin sloop to a 40-foot schooner.
Owners have elected officers and
have their own fleet organiza-
ton. Commodore is Art Frazer,
vice commodore is Fred Forman

Less Psychological Than 1851

zenship, and finally to equal protection OF the
law, it was the Court of 1896 which looking
at the aristoeracy of the past master and the
squalor of the recent slave, recognized the
psychological gap between them and turned
back the hands of the clock to the days oil
slavery and caste Separate" was not in the
constitution, but only in the psychology" OF
the time.
Furthermore the Court of today evident
" held the decision of 1896 did not even deal
with education but with transportation. This
Court, therefore, very correctly In the opln-
ion of the writer lifted the question out OF
psychological" separateness and restored 1t
to the status which it considered the consti-
tuition gave it,
Even in the part of the decision which
was most closely allied to the psychological
the Court followed legal precedent. This was
in the recognition of intangible well as
tangible assets of a college or school. The
cases of Sweat VS.. Painter, and McLaurin VS..
Oklahoma State Regents were cited. In the
Delaware case it had already been concluded
that segregation itself creates nferiority. At
torney General Brownell expressed the opinion
that the Court had the power and the duty
to outlaw racial discrimination in schools.
The Negro did not make the American
constitution, but no class of citizens IN the
nation has followed il more faithfully. lie

against others and judgments against himself
He has not sulked when deprived of consti-
tutional rights and privileges but has sought
them under the regulations prescribed by the
American people.
He did not make the rules of this game,
and all the umpires in it are white. If ne
can be good sport and abide by the deci-
sions of the white umpires he can't understand
why everybody can't. The umpires were look
ing this time! They called all the strikes and
penalized the fouls! 1t is just about time to
find out if there are any other good sports In

husband and four children to
Arkansas in 1873, purchased a
home and now live with her son
and daughter-in-law. She is able
to take care of her own room,
and likes to tell of her child

If Senator Joseph Mccarthy really wants
to stem the tide of Communism, he could do
something about men like Eugene Talmadge
and James +. Byrnes. Individuals of that llk
are really doing more to force the world
toward Communism than many of those Nc
Carthy now has his sights
These two men who are governors OF
great states have been telling the world Tor
years that they do not believe in our system
of government. They do not believe in abid-
ing by our Constitution and do not intend to
abide by the decision of the Supreme Court.
The latest evidence of this is to be
found in their attitude toward the Supreme
Courts ruling on segregation in public schools.
These men have openly and brazenly made 1t
clear that they intend to do everything they
can to circumvent the ruling. In other words,
they are saying, eve don't believe in democ-
racy." When individuals take that attitude,
they are guilty of sabotagng our government.
The strongest point the Communists have a.
gainst our Democracy is the dual standard
practiced here 1t is largely through empha-
sizing and eXaggerating this point that Com
munism has attracted so many so easily.

Finding little ground for other criticism an
