attack:
"The Government of Israel eX-
presses it's revulSion and horror at
the murderous attack by an organ
lied Arab Force which was carried
out as military operation upon a
passenger bus in the Negev and
which resulted in the cold-blooded
killing of eleven men, women and
children and the wounding of four
others. The Government of Israel
regards this attack as a War-like
act, responsibility for which falls
squarely upon the Government
from whose territory this unit of
n1urderers was sent forth across
the border into Israel territory to
carry out this dastardly deed. This
series of wanton acts of hostility /.
by neighboring Arab StatesSha
reached a new climax with this
latest outrage. The Government Of
Israel will take all necessary meas
ures within it's power to ensure
that the blood of Israel citizens will
not be shed with impunity. All >
steps will be taken to safeguard
the security of travellers along the
roads of the Negev so that move
ment will continue without hinder
ance. The deepest sympathy of the
people of Israel goes out to the
families of the victims of the mas.

we're massacred in an ambush on a
bus near Maaleh Akrabim (Scor-
pion Pass) on the road from Flat
to Beersheba on March II.
The bus was stopped and tilted
after automatic machine gun fire
had instantly killed the driver. The
attackers approached the bus and
two of them boarded it, firing at
the passengers from point-blank
range. A woman and her child
feigned death and consequently re-
mained alive.
AN Army spokesman emphasized
that this is one of the most serious
acts of aggression in this area since
the War of Liberation in 1948. An
examination of the details proves
clearly that this was an outright
military action planned in detail
and carried out meticulously. The
murder in cold-blood of men, wOnl-

signs of robbery proves the war

would have to be integrated.
In its brief on reargument of the
five school segregation cases which
are pending in the Supreme Court,
the Department Of Justice d s.
cuSsed the obstacles to integration
in a changeover from existing seq
regated school systems to new ones
not based on color distinctions.
Two Obstacles
It placed the difficulties to be
encountered into two groups -
those of an administrative nature,
and those due to the fact that ra-
cial segregation in public schools
has been in existence for many
years.
A decision that segregated pub
lie school systems are unconstitu-
tional, the brief asserts, will neces-
sarily result in invalidating provi-
sionS of state constitutions, sta
tutes, and administrative regula-
tions in many states.
The Justice Department points
out that in many areas existing
boundaries of school districts may
require extensive revision.
Gerrymandering
This may lead to gerrymander-
ing-the cutting up of school dis
trictS in such an unnatural and
unfair way that nearly all of the

the Negro children will continue
to go to "colored schools"
AS a matter of fact, because of
racial ghettos which have grown
up in most cities, it will not be diff
ficult to gerrymander school dis
tricts so as to maintain racial seq
fegation.
Arizona sun., 1954-03-26
Question Enforcement

The 1948 decision of the Supreme
Court holding that racial restrict
i've covenants cannot be enforced
in the courts, however, is giving
colored families an opportunity to
buy homes outside of the ghettos.
AS these families spread out into
residential areas which have hith-
erto been closed to them, it will
be increasingly difficult to main
tain racial segregation in public
schools through the gerrymander-
ing of school districts.

Religious Background And Reports
Of Conference On OAR Program

ionalists, Lutherans, Dutch Refor-
med, German Reformed, Unitarian
and Universalist. Catholics, too,
were exerting authority then. In
cidently, of the 55 prominent lay
men who were signers of the De-
claration of independence, 81 were
Episcopalians.
Following the Revolutionary
War, the churches were impover-
iShed by financial losses, changed
fortunes, lowering of morality, re-
bellion and upleavals which were
aftermaths of the transition to
peace. Some 20 years ensued be-
fore a spiritual awakening in the
frontier areas. Relationships were
severed with European religious
affiliation and the American con-
gregations united their efforts in
councils and considerations.
Mr. Baldwin ended his speech
with plea that Americans take
courage from the past and hope
for the future; that they cling to
religion from which desirable re-
suits might be gained as a help in
the common problems and strive
for a common goal as people of a
common human, brotherhood.
Since April is the time for the
report of State conference, this
year held at Canton, highlights of
the Fifty-Fifth Annual meeting
were given by the local delegates,
Mrs. Joseph NJ. Gallagher, Mrs. E.
r. Laird, regent of London Chapter
and Mrs. r. o. Whitaker, vice
president general u. S. d. A. r.
Each representative told what was
of outstanding interest to her.
Mrs. Gallagher, as chapter chair
man of the American Red Cross,
speaking of the state report of
this committee, related that i'm the

The Reverend M. Frank L. Bal
dwin, minister of First Presbyter-
ian Church, gave an excellent talk
on the place of the church in the
American scene in reference to the
country's early heritage and hist
ory, at the April meeting of Lon
don Chapter Daughters of the A
merican Revolution Wednesday
afternoon at Coover Memorial Club
House.
He was introduced by Miss Mar
garet Chance, chairman of the pro-
gram committee.
Mr.. Baldwin traced the spiritual
background and growth of the En-
glish-speaking colonies from the
first settlement at Jamestown in
1907, the church then founded be-
ing the established one until the
Revolution. Among the early lead
ers were, Robert Hunt, Captain
John Smith and Lord Delaware,
all having a marked effect on CO.
lonial life.
In New England from the days
of the Plymouth Colony, the in
dependent, congregational type
churches were of the Puritan per-
suaSion. A problem arose when the
settlers were taxed for mainten-
ance and only church men were al
lowed to vote or hold office in COM
munity government. This situation,
rectified later, was reflected in
dwindling congregations.
Men, such as Roger Williams of
Rhode Island and Thomas Hooker
of Connecticut, left definite inn
press on the northern towns.
The prosecuted peoples of the
Old Countries came to this land
bringing with them their own parti-
cular creedS and beliefs. Churches
in the period before and during
the War of Independence presented
a varied picture of revival, ration
aliSm and adherance to the move
ment for representative govern
ment.

ions, their different sects and their
special characteristics, all contri-

the cause of the colonists and their
subsequent struggles. Among Pro
