Pointing The Way To Good
Citizenship

From Ashevie has the most statesmenik utter
ance negraton have heard since the Supreme Court
ruling of May 81 Instead of hurting defiance at the nations
highest tribunal the Asheve Board of Education has de-
cared that it will make IAN honest effort to comply with
the ruling of the court segregation in the public schools
Says the Asheville Board of Education: -.
I'VE will with measured step in the right direction
of ultimate compliance with the supreme law of the land
and expect full cooperation from both white
people endeavor to work the many problems that
will face
1--WE look to local governments churches and
other local civic groups and to all organizations touch
the lives of the people of the community to encourage
develop them the goodwill and understanding neces
sary to attain the goal set for u.s."
Here think is not only fine example of statesman
ship but Democratic and Christian leadership The Negro
citizens of the tourist city will doubt their
white citizens to the fullest extent make the changeover
from segregated schools with the greatest possible for
all concerned.
This is Amercanism at its best and places Ashevle in
the position of pointing the of North good
citizenship What Asheve has done other cities can do
those in authority will take positive and intelligent stand
for law and order Certainly who loves America
and wants to be law abiding could do otherwise.

Since World War II, we have

that we should give little more en-

on this project a sound investment
which will pay great dividends.

called attention to the fact that
the Senate has consistently and
without fail raised every appropria-
ton bill passed by the House. There
has been no change. The Senate has
increased appropriations for the In
terror Department by $20-million,
the Department of Health. Educa-
ton and Welfare by $66-million and
the Independent Offices by $27-mil-
lin above the figures voted by the
House. If this trend isn't checked,
it will force another extension in
the temporary increase of the statu-
tory debt limit, it will postpone the
possibility of balanced budget and
it will kill all hope for further tax
cuts next year.

Swedish Views
Incorporation in New
Atoms.for.Peace Plan

NEW YORK, Oct. 9 = (ASNE).
= When the u. N. General Assem-
bly's Political and Security Com
mittee discussed the proposed in
ternational atoms-for-peace agen-
CIV on October 18. the Swedish del
egate, Richard Sander, said that
efficiency and independence OF
action should be achieved, but that
there was good reason to question
a solution copying one Specialized
U. N. agency or another. The
Swedish delegation, he added, does
not present any precise formula
but confines itself to undermining
that an essential element in the
constitution of the new organ
should be a relationship to the
United Nations close enough to
permit the agency to function eff
fectively. The Swedish delegation
considers a preparatory work in
evitable, and feels that on behalf
of the United Nations this work
should be organized by the Sec
rotary General. 1t should be car
ried out parallel to the work on
the new agency. 1.-The world of
teh atomic age is world without
precedent" Mr.. Sander said.
"Would it then be too ambitious
to introduce a new agency with
out precedent ?"
The Swedish views have now
been Incorporated in the revised
draft resolution presented by the
United States and several cospon-
sors. It is planned to hold an
84-nation conference to draft the
final statute of the atoms-for-
peace agency, and to give the U. N.
Secretary General and an advisory
committee of atomic experts the
task of studying and making rec
concentrations upon the relation
ship between the new agency and
the United Nations.

Sales and Arrests Rise
With freed Liquor. But
Trend Still Uncertain

STOCKHOLM, Nov. (By
airmaiD. Both sales of liquor
and arrests for drunk e n n
showed a marked increase shortly
after the nearly forty-year-old
system Of liquor rationing ended
on october 1. Statistics covering
the first two weeks with the same
period last year. For Stockholm,
the increase in sales was AZ per
cent. Gothenburg reports a strik-
ing drop in the number of restau-
rant customers.
After a few quiet days immedi-
ately after the new system took
effect, the number of arrests for
drunkenness rose steadily. During
the first two weeks of October,
twice as army persons as last year
We're taken into custody in the
larger cities. This development is
not surprising. comments Dagens
-Nyheter. Many feared at last
temporary increase in the abuse
of alcohol. Heavy drinkers now
have less difficulty in obtaining
what they want. At this early
stage, the paper adds, it is impos-
sible to draw any definite conclu-
sions as to the effect the new
system will have on drinking hab-
its. but the first statistics can
hardly be described as more en-
couraging than anticipated, as
some Observers have done.
