Calls
His State Safe
By the Associated prsss

Gov. Frank Clement of Ten
nessee said today his State would
return to the Democratic fold in
November after voting Repub-
Ilican in 1852 for the first time in
"a years.
Gov. Clement cited two reasons
why he said the Eisenhower adj
ministration had lost favor with
Tennessee voters: The Repub-
llican attitudes toward iva and
toward farmers.
Mr.. Eisenhower carried the
State in 1852, but by less than
$500 votes. Herbert Hoover won
Tennessee in 1928, the first Re-
publican in this century.
Gov. Clement, on MICS Meet
the Press television show, said he
had not decided whether he
would seek the United States
Senate seat of Estes Kefauver,
Democratic vice presidential can
didate. If the Stevenson-Kefauv-
er ticket wins next month.
He admitted that he and SEN
ator Kefauver belonged to oppos-
ling political factions in Tennes-
see, but said that those differ
ences were forgotten "in the
necessity Of winning the elec-
ton He pledged to help Adlai
Stevenson and Senator 'Kefauyer
all ne could during the cam
lpaign.
Mr.. Clement spent much of
the time lodging questions on
his personal beliefs regarding
the Supreme Court decision out
lawing segregation in public
schools.
He insisted repeatedly that
my duty is not to express q
personal opinion but to offer to
THE people of my State the lead
ership that can maintain law
and order"
There would have been nc
trouble at Clinton-where Gov
Clement had to call out the Ma
tional Guard-he said If an
outside agitator" had not come
into the State and stirred peo-
pie up"
He refused to be drawn into
a discussion of the investigation
now underway by a House SUBJ
committee on the desegregated
schools in the Nations capital.

State Acts to Keep
Parks Segregation

ATLANTA, April 10 (P.-State
Parks Director Roy Chalker says
he has leased nine Georgia State
Parks to private citizens in a
move to safeguard segregation.
The leases were negotiated for
IL months under recent private
park" legislation which elimi-
mated the necessity of advertis-
ing for bids.
Mr.. Chalker explained yester-
day that he and Gov. Marvin
Griffin signed the leases for the
parks at an average price of
$4,000 per year. He said he
planned to lease two or three
more parks.
While the transfer from public
to private operations was de-
signed primarily to try to pre-
serve segregation, Mr.. Chalker
said. the move also is expected
to prove economical. He pre-
dicted Georgia would save 33 to
SO per cent of its operational
costs.
The Georgia Legislature re-
Gently passed law authorizing
short-term leasing of the parks
as a method of avoiding Federal
Court indignation decisions aimed
at public parks. However, a
Federal Court in Virginia re-
Gently held that Negroes should
be admitted to State-owned
parks. regardless of whether the
parks were operated by the State
itself or by citizens leasing the
parks.
Negroes are not now admitted
to State parks in Georgia.

Editorial
AWARDS FOR THE DESERVING

THERE OUGHT to be in these Islands some provision
whereby deserving public servants and others could be hon
ored on occasion for their contribution to community life and
progress. This would be an incentive to greater achievement
and more work, and bring to the recipients the satisfaction
Of knowing their labors were not entirely in vain. AS to
the community it would afford the opportunity to give credit
where due.
IN THE UNITED TATES there are thousands and
thousands of such opportunities. Universities and colleges the
length and breath of the land give honorary degrees at COM
mencement and other times. Then there are academic socie-
ties and other organizations which do the same thing There
are countless awards for meritorious services, and such
awards as the Pulitzer and Nobel are known throughout the
world.
SO FAR AS we know, only one Virgin Islander in re-
cent times has been honored for his services to his comman-
ity and the nation, and he is Roy w. Bornn, who received
the honorary degree Of Doctor Of Humane Letters from
Howard University. Dr.. Bornn is Commissioner of Public
Welfare for the Virgin Islands.
PERHAPS THE Government could initiate something
in this direction. Perhaps the schools, while only on a high
school level could use commencement time to honor out
standing citizens for their work and services. Since there are
no private groups, then the initiative in this respect might
be assumed by the Government.
THE ONLY STEP in this direction and one which, sorry
to say, has not received the full credit it deserves is the Vir-
gin Islands Heritage Awards presented annually by the,
Professional League Of Virgin islanders, with headquarters
in New York. This group, cutting across all lines, singles out
those whose contributions have been outstanding, and pre-
sented them with awards. 1t should be warmly commended
for its Farsightedness and work in this regard.
AS FoR US here, the challenge is as real as it can be,
