are Negroes has not been determined For
the people Of the South there is no associ-
at:t.n whose officers can speak for the
Southern point Of view. 1t is true that
Southern political leaders, properly repre-
sentlng their constituents. have inefectu-
ally presented the will Of the people and
have been promptly attacked BY organized
opposition. There IL 10 Southern leader,
backed BY an association Of Southern peo-
pie, who can speak effectively for the
Southern point Of view Such a pity
The Southern point Of view has not
been presented by any magazine or ma
tionaliy circulated newspaper. The Satur-
day Evening Post published a recent article
by Mrs Sarah Patton Boyle, who personal
" favoring integration, presumed to speak
for the people of the South. Her article
niisrepresented the opinions Of those
Southerners who must deal with the inte-
gration@probem and possibly msed many
thousands Of the Northern readers Of the
eminent journal
The Saturday Evening Post has thus
far refused to publish an article presenting
the opinion Of the people closest to the
problem This newspaper suggested such
an article by an outstanding Southern cd
ucator to the editors Of the Post without
success. I'VE may ultimately publish an
article Of this sort--several writer's have
queried Us on the subject-but we are not
planning anything in that line Just now"
was the reply. A request for a more
definite reply to our letter has not been re-
ceivcd although Il days have transpired
since it was made. The assertion so often
made. namely that only one side of the
story about race problems in the South
reach the people Of the country, is further
proven The pity it is. The people Of the
South, Of both races will probably face an
untenable situation, with little understand
ing or sympathy Of public opinion in the
North
We can take no hope of relief or under
standing. The t. s. Supreme Court will
follow its decision with swift order to in
tegrate. The NAACP will press it's de-
mands for immediate Indignation The flu
ture has all of the elements Of chaos in
education, in recreation, and other phases
of life in the South. Never have the lives Of
so many been affected by the action Of so
few.

NJ Hope for Understanding

WITH the appointment Of Judge John
Marshall Harlan 10 the Supreme Court
bench and his confirmation by the United
States Senate the stage is set for hearing
of EXPERIMENTATION Of the momentous de-
csion Of the Court on May IT, 1854, which
forbids segregation in public schools on the
basis Of race. The decision supplanted the
onq-standing opinions Of former Courts
which supported the separate but equal
principle.
No change in the courts opinion, can
be hoped for, instead it can be presumed
hat augmentation Of the decision will
follow in a demand for swift Indignation
Of the races in Southern schools
Judge Harlan was appointed by Mr..
Eisenhower to the bench Of the End L. s.
Circuit Cour. Of Appeals in New York,
about two years ago This is his only Judi
clal experience. Once again the highest
court has n justice with limited judicial
experience. He may be well qualified no
doubt the President and the Senate believe,
however, we believe continual appointment
10 the highest court in the nation of judges
of limited experience on the bench il not
IN keeping with It's importance or prestige.
Evidently Judge Harlan has a judicial
background his grandfather Judge John
NJ Harlan was a Supreme Court justice
and incidentally wrote dissenting opinion
IN the case Of Plessy VS. Ferguson, in 1898,
which continued the separate and equal
principle Whether are grandson will have
more practical point Of view remains to
+ be seen
We do not believe that those who viii
be called upon 10 live by the Supreme
Courts May II decision can take any SOL
ace IN the new appointment, nor that the
impicmcntation will be any more reason
able
The National Association for the Al
Yaneement Of Colored People will push
with all Of its vigor and resources to effect
mtegrated schools to the South in Septem-
Der, 1850 This has been stated by their
snokeSmen as an objective The NAACp
appears 10 have plenty Of money 10 pay a
iull stan, and retain lawyers in the states
and cities to push the program The
NAACP has spokesmcn who readily make
statements on various phases of the issue.

bill. as it did a similar one last wear
We believe chances are that flexible
price support system will be maintained
while longer. The Administration has had
little time 10 give its flexible support
system a trial and enough lawmakers will
probably be reluctant to change the sys-
TEN at this time to defeat the House Com
mittccs bill
II must be realized that the nation this
year faces its biggest wheat surplus prob
lem IN many years. that there is sizeabe
surplus Of many other crops and that farm
prices are still squeezing the farmer. Agri-
culture Secretary Ezra Benson believes
this is partly due to over-production and
large SURPRISES.
We believe his program will be further
tested for ahother year or two although We
believe hmly that if labor and other seq
ments Of the population are 10 be guaran-
