DR.. Stephen j. Wright,
Bluefield State College presi-
dent told the teachers of the
state of Virginia that the
sands of time are running
out on the period we have to
prepare for Indignation :.
even in Virginia"
The Bluefield president de-
livered the keynote address
to the annual meeting of the
Virginia Teachers Associa-
ton, which met in Richmond,
November 1 and 2, at which
more than 5000 teachers
registered.
DR.. Wright, whose theme
was Facing Reality as We
Prepare for Integration,"
pointed out that outcomes of
the Supreme Court decision
of May, 1854 had ended two
significant decisions: Cd By,
Negroes-that good race re-
lations through the years had
built up a fund of good will
sufficient to implement the
decision with harmony and
mutual respect but contrari-
wise has seen the birth of Fl

others. GU By whites-that
the whole idea of indignation
was a spineless movement
conceived and substained by
a few northern radicals which
could be crushed by a few
fiery crosses, economic sane
tions and gross intimidations.
These devices being used
earlier in history with much
success.
But" said the president,
"disiilusioned as we are-we
must proceed to build up a

of mutual respect-utilizing

RUSSIA REPAYS HALF COST OF
 NAVY NEPTUNE

WASHINGTON Rl-The United States disclosed today that Russia has paid $724,947 as half the cost of a Navy Neptune plane shot down by Soviet fighters over the Bering Sea last June.
 State Department press officer Lincoln White said this marks the first time Russia or any of its satellites ever has paid for planes knocked down in a number of air incidents since World War II.
 White made public a note de- livered by the Russian embassy in Washington to the State Depart ment last Saturday. The note in sisted the US. plane violated So- Viet frontiers but that neverthe- less a check of $724,947 was in- closed.
 The incident occurred at time when Secretary of State Dulles and Soviet Foreign Minister Mol otov were in San Francisco at tending the 10th anniversary con- ference of the United Nations.
 They conferred immediately on it, and Dulles later suggested that Russia pay at least half.
 Molotov agreed, but last Jan. 6 the State Department prodded Russia, reminding the Soviets that they had never paid the agreed upon sum and gave a breakdown of costs for the plane and injuries to the crew.
 In agreeing to accept half of the total claimed damages, the US. held to it's contention that the Soviet attack was ''unprovoked" and took place while the Neptune was flying in international air space.

 Capt. Vail was asleep in his cabin when the Holtheim ripped a 15-foot hole in the side of the tanker. Capt. Rolf Bentzon, the master of the Holtheim, could not explain the incident either.
 "We had our radar on and we could see her," he said. But we lost her when she got too close"
 Gasoline rushed over the sea from one of the Dispatch's rup- tured tanks after the impact. But sparks thrown from the torn met al failed to ignite it.

 Chile, Peru and Ecuador have signed a joint agreement to bar international fishing within 200 miles off their coast lines. This claim has been disputed by na- tions with big fishing fleets such as the United States, Norway and Japan.

Eisenhower Asks A,S59,975,OOO in
 Foreign Aid to Check Communism

} WASHINGTON, R-President Eisenhower today asked Congress to vote $4,859, ,975, ,000 for foreign aid, with $1,640,O0 1000 in military assistance earmarked for the Mid dle East and Asia.
 Serious risk, of aggression still exists" in these areas, he said.
 Along with his request for a big increase in appropriations, Eisenhower asked for new flexi- bility in administration of the program.
 That feature, as we'll as the money increase, promised a hot fight in Congress.
 In a special message, Eisenhow- CT told the lawmakers:
 We cannot now falter in our quest for peace"
 Eisenhower said the need for the mutual security program he outlined is urgent because:
 l. "There are still nations that are eager to strive with us for peace and freedom but, without our help, lack the means of doing so."
 2. There are still forces hostile to freedom that compel the free 
 world to maintain adequate and coordinated military power to de- ter aggression"
 3. "There are still peoples who aspire to sustain their freedom but confront economic obstacles that are beyond their capabilities of surmounting alone"
 Eisenhower said significant tes- timony to the success of our mu- tual security programs appears in the new turns and developments of Soviet policy
 Although he said the new Rus sian maneuvering is still develop ing, we must 7. assume that Soviet expansionism has merely taken on somewhat different guise, and that it's fundamental objective is still to disrupt and i'll the end to dominate the free na- tfons." Eisenhower added:
 With Soviet leaders openly proclaiming their world aim, it would be folly for us and our friends to relax our collective eff forts toward stability and secur- ity." He said the $4,859, ,975,000 which he is asking lis low price to pay for the security and vastly greater chances for world peace"
