Washington With the grim
stories coming out Of Hungary and
eastern Europe these days, II isn't
often that a newspaperman gets
an opportunity to report even a
tidbit OF optimism. Conflict and
dissension dominate the headlines.
And TO be brutaily frank about
my profession, must confess that
too many editors find that good
news isn't news at all; only bad
news" Is considered worthy OF at
tention.
II IL, therefore. with some de-
light that I ran across a study by
two young men, David 10th, a for
mer reporter, and Harold Fleming,
a publicist, entitled. Indignation:
North and South" II was gener-
ously financed by the Fund for
the Republic and Is a rounded view
OF what has happened In all the
states since the Supreme Courts
degeneration decision Of May 81,
1854.
This study fills a void left by
newspapermen and radio COM
mentators ON the pace OF the
change taking place in this touch
lest area Of human relations In the
United States.
10th handles that aspect OF the
study which deals with the North
ern and Western states where,
surprisingly segregation has also
been practiced. Fleming Is respon-
sible for that portion OF the report !
which deals with the Southern |
states. Both men have done a
thorough and meritorious job Be-
cause the Southern segregation
lists have been In the news so much |
lately Fieming's findings are
bound to attract greater interest,
On the basis Of detailed city
by-city and state by state sur.
veys, he concludes that "be-
meath the surfnoe turmoil Of
Southern resistance, deep-run-
ming currents are steadily erod-
Ing the undemocratic patterns Of
the past"
The New" South, Il seems on
the basis OF the evidence compiled |
by Fleming. Is In the process OF
creating new and brighter
self image" The common notion
that "desegregation just can't |
work" Is plainly contradicted by |
this study.
The Non-Solld South
The report records LOO in
stances OF desegregation In school
ing, housing, transportation. en-
ployment and public accommoda-
lions. So far as schools are con-
cerned, Fleming found that inte-
grafton in varying degrees Is now
being effected In 800 school dis
trots In ~ southern and border
states.
Even In areas where segregn-
ton Is stiII practiced. tho school

grated. School buses have be-

IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory Of Mrs. Mar
tina Boyd, who passed away De-
cember IL, 1916.
Time may. heal broken hearts,
Time may make wounds less sore
But time never stops the longing,
For the loved one gone before.
DAYS of sadness still come over
us,
Tears in silence often flow,
For memory keeps you ever near
us,
We who loved you sadly miss you
As il dawns another year,
In our lonely hours of thinking
Thoughts of you are ever near us.
Sadly missed by mother, Mrs.
Salhe Brown. sister, Mrs. Della II.
Ross. brother-in-law, Richard Ross
and other relatives.

ST. PAUL LUTHERAN
Last Sunday Pastor Carl c.
Sunwal brought an inspiring mes
sage to a well filled churcn. The
text for the day was read from
Luke A:16-22 Pastor Sunwall
brought to our attention that Jes-
us entered the synagogue on the
Sabbath Day as was his custom.
He reminded his audience not to
neglect the assembling together on
the Lords Day as the custom Of
some is. When Jesus entered the
synagogue, he stood up to read.
There was delivered to Him the
book of the prophet Isiah from
which He read the words which
composed the text for today. The
Spirit Of the Lord is upon me, be-
cause He anointed me to preach
good tidings to the poor" he read.
Jesus was set apart to preach.
He comes to every tribe and race,
a messenger of Truth and Grace,
He also came TO proclaim release
TO the captives. As prisoner, re-
leased from jail, enjoys the fresh
air and freedom, so Jesus came to
release us from the bondage of sin.
Jesus came also to give sight TO
the blind. As we look at the stars,
what do they say to us? The
Psalnist in OIL, The heaven de-
clare the glory of God and the
armament showeth His handi-
work" Nicodemus came to Jesus
in his blindness and saw Him. He
also came to set at liberty those
who are bruised.
Often time our feelings are hurt
and we go around with i'll feelings
toward our fellow men. Jesus said,
Love your enemies and pray for
them that prosecute you" Jesus
also come to proclaim the accept
able year of the Lord, There was
custom that during the Jubilee
year prisoners were released,
slaves and debtors were set free.
Is some secret sin holding you in
bondage? Whatever your sins
might be, they can be forgiven.
Jesus came to set men free.

In everyone OF the Southern

forced segregation still remaining
in tax-supported colleges In Ala.

None Of these changes have
made the headlines, partly be
cause domestic tranquility does
not make news, partly because
local officials did not wish 20
stir up the professional agitat

In 143 cities and % counties,
there are now 1872 Negro police

there has been a degree Of relaxa-

In the big cities and in

Vile and ST. Louis have begun 10

evidence OF desegregation The

that the job is far from completed,
but the degree OF progress shows
that big things are happening

much misunderstanding, and too
much jealousy between the execu-
