Judge Schweinhout Retires

The announcement that persistent
i'll health has forced the retirement of
District Judge Henry A. Schweinhaut

this community.
Judge Schweinhaut is a native of

OF his health made 1t impossible for him
to contribute his full share to the work

A Shorter Parade

Thanks to the foresight of the Com
misSioners, who set some wheels in
motion last August, certain preliminary
planning for the Inauguration next jan
uary was well under way when the
President announced the appointment of
Robert v. Fleming as chairman of the
Inaugural Committee. But the real pick
and-shovel work of detailed planning
and arrangements can begin only with
the organization of Mr.. Fleming's COM
mittee, and the assignment Of its menu
bers to specific tasks. These are many,
and work for Mr. Fleming and his COM
mittee will continue long after Inaugural
ton day.
One Of the first of Mr.. Fleming's
many jobs is to plan the outlines of the
public spectacle along the lines Of Presi-
dent Eisenhower's own desires. And the
highlight Of the public ceremonies is the
inaugural parade. We hope it will be a
fine parade, in keeping with the occa-
sion. But the quality Of the parade is

Siqnificunt School RuIino

A three-judge Federal court has just
announced significant decision con-
corning a North Carolina statute which
sets up public school pupil assignment
plan. The ruling is of special interest
here, since the Carolina assignment plan
is similar to that recently enacted in
Virginia
There seem to be three main points
In the decision. (1) The North Carolina
statute is not unconstitutional on its face,
although, of course, 1t may be applied in
an unconstitutional manner. (2) Suits
on behalf of Negro children seeking adj
mission to white schools must be brought
on an individual-not clasS-basiS. (3)
Plaintiffs must exhaust the "administra-
tive remedies" set out in the statute be-
fore they can appeal to Federal court.
The intention of the three Judge
court with respect to the first two points
seems clear enough. The effect of the
third holding, however, is not so clear.
The Carolina statute, as does the
Virginia law, provides for an appeal to
State courts after administrative rem
edies have been exhausted. But the
three-judge court said that appeals to
the State courts which the statute au-
thorizeS are judicial, not administrative
remedies And the three judges added
this: AFTER administrative remedies be-
fore the (Carolina) school boards have
been exhausted, judicial remedies for
denial of constitutional rights may be
pursued at once in the Federal courts
without pursuing State court remedies"
What would be denial of "con-
stitutional" right? One such, obviously,
would be refusal by school board to
admit Negro child because of his race,
for the three-judge court held that "there
is no question as to the right of these
(Negro) school children to be admitted
to the schools of North Carolina without
discrimination on grounds of race" But
suppose a Negro child should be denied
admission for some reason which oSten-
sibly had nothing to do with race?
Would this be denial of a constitutional
right which would permit the bypaSSing
Of the State court procedure? Or might
1t have to do with an arbitrary, but nom
racial, abuse of administrative power?
~ 10 III 1COpCSb blldO Vic IullIlb
Is not clear, and the answer, presumably,
would depend upon the facts in given
case, upon the evidence indicating good
faith or lack of good faith on the part
of the school board involved.
We think it is fair summary, how
ever, to say that the opinion of this
three-judge court, while unfolding the
right of Negro school children to be pro-
tected against racial discrimination, will
not by any means lead to immediate and
full indignation of North Cardinals pub
lie schools. Tentatively, at least, it seems
to approve features of the North Caro-
lima plan, which, if applied in good faith,
could result in a program of moderate
and gradual indignation in areas where
public schools are maintained. At the
same time, it is a decision which offers
no encouragement to those who think
that it will be possible to maintain public
schools and also prevent any indignation
anywhere at any time.

THE POLITICAL. MILL
President Seeks to Make U. N. Work
BY GOULD LINCOLN

Criticisms of President Eli
senhower's handling Of the
Middle East situation sound
like an echo of the Stevenson
Kefauver campaign in its final
days. His leadership, critics
say. has been too little and too
late. They seem to invite ulti-
matumS by the President, di-
rected at Soviet Russia and
President Nasser of Egypt. The
same critics in the past have
attacked the President as a
saber-rattler. No one is COM
PEELED to be logical, Of course.
or even consistent. Certainly
not the Eisenhower critics.
The American people, re-
acting to the same kind of
attacks delivered by Steven
son, Kefauver and other
Democratic speakers a little
more than a week ago, ex-
pressed their confidence in Eli
Senhower and his leadership,
and in a manner that left no
doubt.
The President very definitely
in his drive for peace is try
ing to make the United Ma
lions work. This is no buck
passing maneuver. He is
throwing the whole force of
the United States-the only
force today that checks Soviet
Russia in its drive for world
domination-back of the U. N.
And SO far, the U. N. is react
ing worthily. This is no time
for unilateral action. 1t is
time for the free world to act
together, first by the moral
force of public opinion. If that
fails, through the use of eco
nomic or military force.
Puts Kremlin on Notice
Through diplomatic chan
nels. the President is leaving
no doubt in the minds of the
men of the Kremlin what they
may expect. More openly,
through his alert to the mill
tary forces of the United
States to be ready for any
eventuality, they are on notice
there is a jumping off place.
And so far, the reaction seems
to be in the right direction.
At his most recent press con-
ference. last Wednesday, Pres
ident Eisenhower was ques-
toned repeatedly regarding
steps the United States might
take if the situation in the Mid
die East worsened-and par
ticularly what would be done
if the Communist Russians
and Chinese introduced vol
unteers" into Egypt. Never de-
Waiting from his position that
these are matters which should
be dealt with through the
United Nations, the President
indicated that the course
adopted would be no weak

TV Giye-Awoy Shows

DIS letter about the trading
stamp racket. Buyers as well
as sellers participating in this
delusion lose in the long run.
Americans are suckers for
every kind of crazy merchan-

just one example.
A far more inSidious thing
are the big TV giveaway shows
that now are so far out of

enough to predict what the end
might be. At first I enjoyed
the $64 question on radio; I
went along (albeit with some
misgivings) as the jackpot
grew bigger and bigger to
$4,000 and 100000 on TV.
I'm sickened by it all now and
almost never view these shows,
not because I do not admire
the exceptional talent of the
contestants but because the
value placed on their perform
ance is out of all proportion
to accepted standards in our
work-for-a-living society.
