Republican factional strife
in Wisconsin has stirred up q
hornets nest. 1t could work
toward the election Of q Demo-
cratic Senator next November
the first time in more than
q score Of years.
The determination Of the
Old Guard Republicans. plus
Senator Joe Mccarthy, to put
the skids under Senator Alex
ander Wiley has brought
about this situation. They sue
cessfully backed Representa-
tive Glenn r. Davis for in
dorsement as the G. o. P.
senatorial nominee at the re-
cent Republican State Con-
vention. Senator Wiley they
did not like-for the reason
most often given: His support
of President Eisenhower's
foreign policy. But they have
been cunning for Wiley for
other reasons of their own.
Instead of taking quietly his
rebuff at the hands Of the
State convention. S enator
Wiley has taken his cause to
the people of Wisconsin. He
will oppose Davis in the Sep
TENDER senatorial primary
and apparently with q good
chance of strong support. His
Office has been flooded with
letters and kilograms offering
him aid, since the action of
the state convention and since
Wiley's flareup on the Senate
floor, when he charged that q
fund of $4,000 to help Davis
in the primary had been
pledged by certain Republican
leaderS-in order to persuade
Davis to make the race. Wiley
will spend much time in the
State during the next two
months, campaigning vigor-
ouSly. AS a matter of fact, he
has been campaigning for re-
nomination and reelection for
more than a wear.
Democrats Have Hand
The Wisconsin Democrats
can play their full part in set
ting this Republican row if
they wish. Under the Wiscon-
sin primary law, voters can
cross party lines to support any
candidate they wish. If the
race between Wiley and Davis
should be close, enough Demo-
Gratis. voting for one of the
Republican candidates, could
settle the matter. Whether the
Democrats will wish more to
stick a knife in Mccarthy by
voting for Wiley remains to be
seen. BY voting for Davis, on
the other hand, they might
more nearly assure q Demo-
cratic senatorial victory in
November. For Davis is q new
conner to Statewide politics
and reckoned not nearly so
strong a candidate as Wiley
would be.
In another State, Kentucky,
where Republican senatorial
prospects q few weeks ago APP
peared bright-after the death
of the late Senator Alben w.

Southwest Stun Plan

On June 4, several reporters
questioned on TV a District
official responsible for the
Southwest slum clearance. I
am not well informed on this
subject. but certainly there
seems to be some skepticism
about the fairness Of what is
going on.
Basically it appears that this
is one of those inequities done
by law which seems fair when
a homeowner is given a "rea-
sonable value" for his home
and land in the interest of
civic improvement.
Certainly there was doubt
in the minds of the reporters
on TV, but none of them
seemed to spot the fallacy of
the Districts argument.
My contention is that the
District should be allowed to
tear down individuals homes
and plant grass seed there If
they like, by paying the rea-
sonable value Of the homes.
But the ownership of the land
should be retained in the in
dividual and not the city. UNI
less possibly the city wants to
make a public playground, etc.
Land values change, some
times draStically, dependent
upon the location and changes
in population.
In short, once large apart
ment houses are put up in the
Southwest the value of the land
VIII increase. Who is to OBJ
tain the benefit of this in
crease? The city and District
Court feel that the home
owners should get only its rea-
Sonable value today. I main
tain they should not be forced
TO sell the land at all, but
rather the builders should
compete for the land, or al
Tentatively that the city should
pay this reasonable value at
the time the project is COM
pleted.

Indignation

White and colored people
both expect these things:
/. Opportunity to enjoy
the advantages afforded by
our country in such fields as
education, livelihood, owner
ship of worldly goods, recrea-
ton, worship.
2. Opportunity to enjoy
these advantages in proper
ton to the means, ability,
talent or desire of each in
dividual to attain them.
3. Opportunity to enjoy
these advantages in a COM
patible setting and without
unwelcome intrusion upon the
individuals privacy: privacy
Of thought. opinion, prefer
ence, politics. religion, choice
of associates. be it preference
for white people or colored
people.
All of these opportunities
were in the code of the found
erS of our country. The
colonistS abhorred European
tyranny. both petty and great,
and sought to escape it by
sailing west into the wilder
ness. They fought the Revo-
lutionary War because the
long arm of tyranny reached
across the Atlantic to inter-
fere with their freedom to
conduct their own private
affairs. 1t is not likely at
this late date that a legal
creature of our own making
will be allowed successfully to
invade the privacy and in
dependence which are built
into the American character.
as indelibly today as they were
in that earlier time. Privacy
and independence are the two
inherited qualities which are
especially violated by legally
enforced Indignation of the
white and colored races. It is
distortion of our original
freedom to press every citizen
to mix freely with all other
citizens whether the "all other
citizens" like it or not. It is
social anarchy when no person
has the legal right to establish
his own private sanctuary
which is free from unwelcome
intrusion. Such privacy is
important to every class of
human being. Indeed, life
that held nothing but a din
OF intrusion would be a life
not worth living. This is one
OF the precepts of American
free individualism.
There will continue to be
a hundred situations in which
white and colored must mingle
freely and without friction.
But TO make a sweeping legal
ruling that all separation be-
tween the races must cease
forthwith, as though no color
line existed, violates the in
herited freedom of private
choice Of a great many Ameri-
cans. Chronic bitterness will
replace the willing co-opera-
ton which can be had SO
easily, If we would legally rec
ognize the right of both peo-
pies to choose the company
they keep.

School Grading

uOJeO III sundays OJar
a proposal by the Committee
to Revise the Grading System
in Elementary Schools to
abandon city-wide compare
tive grades after this years
trial period. I am the father
of three elementary school
children attending Hearst Ele-
mentary School, and I am
protesting the proposed action.
While improvement can be
made in the present grading
system and evaluation of the
child's potential is important,
the proposal represents step
back into the dark ages" for
parents and children. Why
are parents and children to
be kept from knowledge of our
children'S progress in attain
ing standards of scholarship
set for the city-wide area?
How can we parents or our
children evaluate our chill
dren's potential for scholarship
when the only indication re-
ported is that the child is
operating at some level Of
potential within his ability
but with no indication of
his potential within accepted
standards of scholarship? This
appears to be a cruelty CAL
culated to do much more
harm than any present harm
involved in subjecting him to
competitive comparisons with
children of his own grade. If
the child is only capable of
attaining some lower level of
academic standard, it would
seem far better that the par
ent and child know it early
SO that the child's efforts can
be channeled to utilize COM
mercial or mechanical apti-
tudes, than to have him enter
high school thinking himself
capable of college work.
The only excuse for the pro-
posed change in the grading
system apparently is a desire
by elementary teachers and
principals to avoid q duty
which is unpleasant.
Since comparative grading
tends to show up failures of
the elementary program at a
point at which it can be
spotted by the community and
corrected, the proposed grad
ing system acts as an admis-
sion that our District ele-
mentary program is a failure
in that some teachers and
schools have failed to maintain
an educational level within
the standards of acceptable
academic progress for the
grade involved.
1 also want to point out the
undemocratic method the COM
mittee has used in releasing
its proposals for publication at
the end of the school year
after the last PTA meetings SOY
that no effective opposition
can be brought to bear upon
the proposals. The next Hearst
School PTA meeting. for ex-
ample, is in October, at which
time we will be presented
with the new grading system
and the argument that the
grading system is official and
cannot be changed for three
to five years.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES {. TRACEWELL

A man has bats in his belfry.
at least in his attic space. and
wants to know how to get
them out.
The best way is to close up
all the entry places as soon as
the creatures are out flying at
dusk, hunting for food.
This is, of course. easier said
than done.
Another method is to try to
smoke them out, and this too
often suffers in the doing, al
though it is a good method
in talk.
Life and its affairs are often
that way. The theory is one
thing, and the actual practice
is another.
All one can do is try.
Sometimes one method will
work, sometimes another.
=
Actually, if the attic is
merely a sort Of crawl space,
there is really nothing much
against letting the bats alone.
They are clean enough, in
their habits, and make fine
specimens for watching, es-
pecially in spring and sum-
mer, when they so marvelously
seek their insect food.
Few creatures have excited
more interest.
Books have been written
about them, one Frenchman
practically falling in love with
the species. He had one white
lady bat which he adored.
Most persons will not be able
to reach such heights Of nature
lore. but almost any one can
get over fear Of these odd bird
animals.
All it takes Is a little investi-
cation, both by books and per-
Sonal observation.
Then the real merit of the
species will come to the fore
and the watcher will begin to
be interested on his own.
After all. in this type Of
home nature study, there is
nothing to take the place Of
the SO personal interest.
No matter what has been
written, or what other people
say, the watcher knows for
himself that this is a wonder
full thing.
OF course most people will
not agree with him.
"A batl" everyone says, es-
pecially his cousins and his
aunts.
They still fear bats will get
IN their hair and spread the
old story, that they are COW
cred with bedbugs.

Scientists say that the para
sites on some bats are not bed
