Owner Jackson brought to
my recent attention columnist
Raymond Moley's Racial Bias
Curb. 1t reads in part as fol-
lows:
There are right ways and
wrong ways of dealing with
racial and nationalistic differ
ences and antagonisms. One of
the wrong ways is coercive
measures at the Federal level.
In fact, any coercive meas
ure is likely to be a wrong way.
And certainly any Federel eff
fort, certainly any Federal eff
fort. coercive or noncoercive, is
wrong. There remains however,
a means based on common
sense, decency, and persuasive
suggestion. That can be done by
private organizations or by a
local or state agency supported
by local or state government.
THE best example have seen
of workable and sensible at
tack upon this problem is the
Good Neighbor Commission of
the state of Texas. For great
Texmany years - in fact, ever
since Texas ceased to be a part
of Mexico = there had been

leans who came across the
border in search of opportuni-
ties for better economic condi-
tons. Their labor was welcome
and the pay was good. But they
were denied certain privileges
and prerogatives and were of

intolerance"
We don't want to approve or
or condemn the above conclu-
Sions, because a deep thinker
wrote them for uation- wide in
terracial opinion. The solid
south is deeply concerned about
an expectant adverse u. S. SUI
preme Court opinion. 1t may
hinge on the gradual abolish
ment of segregated public school
systems. The writer, as a whole,
has debatable views, which
