What Are We Waiting For =
BY S. S. Taylor

Official announcement h immediate
mixing Of races in Arkansas public schools
would be premature public and editorial crit
icism Of a new state system Of rating schools,
and injection Of inteFration and racial mixing
in schools into the political campugn-alh
keep the Supreme Court decision before US.
Those of Us who might have been luled to
uncrttcal sleep by silence are beginning to
wonder.
What are we waiting for, After all, the
Supreme Court has handed down a sweeping
decision, an unqualified decision, a unanimous
decision decision so direct and unequiyocaI
that it can be compressed into three words
SEGREGATION Is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Criticism of the proposed system OF rat
ing schools by districts instead Of by individ-
ual schools To become effective in 1857 shows
that you do not increase opposition by post
ponng action, Immediate opposition has been
stated to a procedure dated three years in the
future The political picture illustrates the
same principle While those favorable to inte-
grafton are exhorted to hold still, political
statements are made tending to develop SEN
tirnent against it. Viewed in the light of these
developments the official counsel of delay UNI
til the Supreme Court swings club seems
to reflect thought that probably the Su-
preme Court will be negligent about enforcing
indignation as the earlier court which promul-
gated the separate and equal doctrine was
about enforcing that.
The program of do nothing just now a
bout the Supreme Court decision is a program
which abdicates all sembance of state rights.
Handed down the privilege of initiating its
own procedures in the matter of indignation,
the state in an Alphonse-Gaston gesture re-
turns the platter with sweeping bow of "Af-
ter you please" It's like pedestrian pausing
in the middle of busy crossing and waiting
for the policeman to nudge him on. If and
when the initiative thus proffered and thus
rejected and handed back to the court, is a.
gain picked up by it, the cry will 60 up Gin
vasion of state rights"
1t is an American axiom that only those
who use their rights wisely keep them, That
is the way we justify the wrestling of this

Soufherners Must Learn, As
Russia Has Learned
BY lauren White

The most valuable asset any nation can
have is its people When you destroy the peo-
pie or when you reduce the effectiveness of
the people, you destroy or reduce the effec-
tveness of the entire nation A nation of $50
million inhabitants that has handicapped Is
million of them with all sorts of educational
economic, and social restrictions is actually
a nation of less than 1875 million inhabitants.
Further, people who have been crushed and
exploited all of their lives are usually despe-
rately on the alert to improve their condi-
ton. Often they lose their sense of values.
When they are crushed exploited and unin-
formed they are likely to make the wrong
move toward improving their condition. And
this wrong move could be disastrous both to
them and to those who exploit them. Uniform
ed people are often dangerous
1t would seem that even Russia under
stands this, and offers every encouragement
and nducement for all of her 200 million in
habtants to learn all they can. Admittedly
they insist that their people be educated so

that they can be useful to the state, and it
seems they do not discriminate against any
group on account of race. Their only motto
seems to be: get prepared so you can help
Russia"
One of the best ways of keeping a nation
well informed is to have an adequate school
system. Informed instructors, modern equip
ment decent buildings, are certainly neces-
sary to make up an adequate school system.
When any one of those three essentials is de-
MED a group they aren't being provided with
adequate schooling. And it is impossible to
over-estimate the damage done both to the
individual and the nation when this condition
exists.
When the dawn breaks for some Of our
more obstinate southern leaders, the world
will be better place. Let us hope it comes
soon, so that the Supreme Court decision
outlawing segregation in public schools will
not be opposed so ruthlessly.

we probably will have a chance to mend marketing fences for an other year. Our agriculture must sell itself. It must meet compe- tition on the basis of quality, price and availability. Some way must be found to get this idea across and then help the farm CTS make necessary adjustments"
 Milk Production Raising
 Johnson said the production outlook shows a continued rise in milk production. Indications are the Matanuska Valley dairy men plan to increase their milk ing herds. Other indications are a prospective decrease of Is to 20 per cent in potato acreage. He explained this land will go into oats and peas, small grains for feed, a small increase in vege- tables other than potatoes and some land will remain idle.
 Matanuska Valley egg produc- tion information indicates there will be a small increase in lay CTS, Johnson said.
 Keep Military Contracts
 Johnson said the military con- tracts for potatoes must be kept if at all possible. It also will be necessary for potato growers to continue the good public relations they began last fall. He said he hopes the Extension marketing program can help small produc- CTS realize greater return from their small acreages.
 There is nothing in the pie -ture yet to warrant pessimism in in 1954", Johnson continued. "Competition on potatoes and eggs probably will be no great CT than has been experienced be- fore. Our efforts should be spent toward encouraging greater pro- duction of qualify farm products, toward reduced production costs and toward continued greater ac- ceptance by Alaskan families" !" he concluded.

ECONOMIST URGES FARMERS TO LOOK TO FUTURE MARKETS


 There is nothing yet in the pie ture to warrant pessimism about the Alaska agriculture outlook for 1854, Hugh Johnson, head of the Agricultural Economic de- partment for the University of Alaska Experiment Station of Palmer, told the annual extension conference at the University last week.
 He predicted, however, a wholesale milk price war is com ing eventually and dairymen must prepare for it.
 Johnson said the station has just started what amounts to outlook work in Alaska He ex- -plained the first attempt was made last summer when it pre- -dicted a large potato crop and marketing difficulties.
 .'The situation was reported through Jim Wilson's Department of Agriculture Market News let ters but apparently no one be- 7ieyed the report" Johnson said. Nothing concrete was done by farmers and their marketing groups until the potatoes were being dug. No marketing pro- gram was started until four months after it should have been --done. I mention this example for two reasons: it shows what can be done and it also demonstrates that I personally may have been negligent in not getting out and beating the drum"
 Johnson explained that more eggs, milk, corn, feed graihs and cotton were raised in the States sin 1853 than almost ever before. He said prices of potatoes were -distressingly low. Per capita in- come is off and so is industrial output.
 >'We should not close our eyes ito these indicators" Johnson warned. ''They are bound to have some effect on surplus marketing, -particularly if the price support program is reduced drastically.
 T don't look for a decrease in returns for fresh milk in 1954", she added. That market is far from saturated yet and I don't think Stateside wholesalers are quite ready to start a price war with us. But this is coming and we must help dairymen prepare for it."
 He added that the outlook for production costs in Alaska dur ing 1854 is for little change from last year. The seven and one-half increase in freight rates will off set most savings that might be made in feed prices, costs of equipment and other items. The price of fertilizer already is great CT than it was last year Labor will cost as much as last year, at least, and will be of no better quality, Seed is about the only production cost that is less than a year ago, Johnson continued.
 Our dairymen and potato growers are particularly vulner- able" Johnson warned They provide the bulk of our agricul- tural income and they are the high cost producers. I am unpop- -ular when I hint that this group, particularly, must prepare for se- were competition. They must get their costs down in the very near future or they will be fighting for their economic lives"
 He explained that he doesn't think dairymen will be ''too much affected for another year or so, but I am not so confident for potato growers. One good sign in our favor is prospective drastic cut in Stateside potato acreage. If yields are average or lower,

Ernest Hemingway
Awarded Nobel
Literature Prize

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, R -
American novelist Ernest Hem
ingway, Thursday won the 1854
Nobel prize for literature.
The 56-year-old writer, whose
hard boiled style and violence
packed tales set a pattern for
goth century prose the world
around, will receive a gold medal
and a check for 81,646 Swedish
crowns about $35,OOOO.
The literary prize and the an
nual awards in medicine, chem
isky and physics will be pre-
sented by Sweden's King Gustaf
Adolf VI at a traditional cere-
mony here Dec. 10.
Winners of the physics and
chemistry prizes still are to be
named. Announcement already
has been made that the Nobel
peace prize will be withheld this
year.
Hemingway is the sixth Ameri-
can-born author to win the liter
airy prize. The awards were set
up by the will of Alfred Nobel,
Swedish inventor of dynamite,
who died in 1896.
Hemingway, whose adventurous
life matches the exploits of many
of his heroes, was picked for the
honor by the Swedish Royal
Academy of literature.
He almost won the prize last
year but was nosed out by per-
haps the greatest phrasemaker of
his time-Sir Winston Churchill,
who writes, crates, paints and
runs the British government.
A sources close to the academy
said its members decided that
since Hemingway was slated to
receive the award eventually eve
might as well give it to- him now,
before he kills himself" in some
exploit.
Earlier this year, when it was
feared that Hemingway had been
killed in a plane crash in Africa,
many newspapers criticized the
academy for not giving him the
prize.
