NationoI Commiffee
chuirmen Spot Over
Civil RIGHTS Issues

Washington CAMP Chair
man Paul Butler of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, last
week branded the Eisenhower
proposal for setting up a bipar-
tisan study commission as pop
pycock."
He charged the Republicans
with talking out Of both sides Of
their mouths. and claimed that
they are making a lot of artifi-
cial" talk about civil rights
Meeting with five representa-
tives of the Negro press, the
Democratic chairman blasted the
Republicans, but upheld the states
rights proposals of his own party.
He claimed the Presidents rec
ommendation that Congress
create a commission to examine
allegations that Negro citizens
are being deprived of their right
to vote in certain sections of this
country was only a method of de-
laying action beyond election date.
In replying to these charges,
Chairman Leonard Hall of the
Republican Committee said the
Democrats had been using delay
ing tactics" for 20 years,
Meeting with the same press
group in his office Tuesday. the
Republican leader said he could
not see how anyone could accuse
the President Of being insincere.
Just look at the record" he
said Eisenhower hasn't Just
talked, he has done things" The
President has often repeated and
has proven that he does not be-
lieve in second-class citizenship,
said the Republican chieftan.
Hall was informed of Buffers
contention that the Justice De-
partment already has the author
ity to investigate the denial Of GER
tain citizens rights to vote in the
South, The Attorney General does
not need the support of a Con-
gressional commission to conduct
an investigation.
To this allegation Hall only
observed that Negro citizens are
only denied the right to vote In
states that are controlled by
Democrats.
Butler was questioned on the
proposal by southern Democratic
governors to adopt an, 'interpo-
sition" resolution protesting the
Supreme Court decision in the
school segregation case as an ''il-
legal encroachment" on states
rights.
He replied that no national
political party had the right to
tell Governor of any state what
to do or how to do II. A party has
no Jurisdiction or authority what
soever to interfere with the rul-
ings of the states, he contended,
on the question of support for
pending civil rights legislation,
Butler stated that his party had
been advised by civil rights lead
ers in Congress, such rs Senator
Hubert Humphrey, and by labor
leaders, that the bringing up of
such legislation in this session of
congress would be inadvisahle.
He said that any civil rights bills
at this time would only be defeat
ed, and defeat would lessen the
prestige Of the bill
When Hall was questioned on
the same subject, he only replied
that the Democrats are in control
Of the Congress He would make
no commitment for his party's
position on such legislation. He
stated that he was not familiar
with the civil rights bills now
pending or the status Of any Of
thar,

Wool Pool May Be Held
Two Days In 1855

An extra day will be added to
the annual Wool Pool of the Del.
aware Sheep and Wool Associa.
tion if sheep owners other than
association members indicate by
May IL, desire to market their
wool through the Pool.
AT meeting of the directors
and officers of the association on
April IL, it was decided that time
could be extended only if there
is advance knowledge that the
volume of additional wool will be
sufficient to warrant the extra
expense for which nominal
handling charge will be made.
In the past two years, the asso-
citation has obtained the best price
for its wool offered in Delaware
because quantity has attracted
Smyrna times., 1956-04-26

buyers interested only in large
amounts of graded wool. Associa-
ton membership has increased so
much that the amount Of wool
from members flocks is approach
ing the maximum amount that a
grader can handle in one day.
Reasonably accurate forecasting
of the amount of wool to be offer
ed for sale benefits both wool
growers and purchasers. The po-
tential from Delaware and nearby
adjoining Maryland counties is
not fully known, because the ad-
vantage of marketing through the
Pool has not been used by all
Delaware sheep owners or resi-
dents of nearby Maryland.
Bids are asked on amounts that
include the previous years wool
collection and an estim a t e d
amount based on known flock in
creases of association members
and what can be anticipated from
other sheep owners.
Serious over-estimates are dis
appointing to exceptionally large
users of wool willing to pay high
er prices and can limit the num-
ber of future bidders. Under-esti-
mates that result in the success
full bidder having to take an ex-
cessive amount of wool over what
he can use can cause hardship,
as the successful bidder is obli-
gated to take all the wool col
lected. Loss of interest in either
case affects prices.
Participation will not be limited
to Delaware Sheep owners this
year. Instead, a priority system
will be used, preference being CIV
en- to non-member owners in the
order in which their notification
is received by the secretary of
the association, but will be limited
by the maximum amount of work
that can be handled.

NEWS OF INTEREST TO FARMERS AND FARM FAM
lilies OF KENT COUNTY

1908 pounds, or over 5000 quarts
apiece.
According to DR.. T. A. Baker,
of the university's dairy husban-
dry department, this is the Sec
ond year in a row that Delaware
has held second rank among the
states. He said that the univer-
sity herd traces back to 1919,
when the foundation herd was
started.
At that time, butterfat average
was only 267 pounds per COW.
However, the herd has gained
steadily in milk and butterfat pro-
duction over the past SO years as
the result of a careful breeding
program to which has aimed at
increasing production in each gen.
Grafton.
Baker thinks that the original
267-pound production of the foun-
dation herd will be doubled in a
few more years.

Healing for Helplessness

In sense, the helplessness of the man whose
miraculous cure forms the subject of Sundays
Gospel resembles the condition of the world
today, His disease was paralysis, or palsy, which
robbed him of control of his muscular system so
that he was unable to perform the actions which
he realized were desirable and necessary; his
brain might order his hand to reach for food,
but there would be no response; il he wished
to step aside to avoid some danger threaten
ing him his legs refused to function. Through
his eyes and ears he could tell clearly what
was transpring around him, and his intellect re-
acted with decisions of what he ought to do:
yet he was unable to coordinate mind and body.
His arm hung limp or swung aimlessly, when
he sought to use it; his steps would not take
him where he sought to go. Friends who tried
to aid him could not recover for him the con-
troll he had lost they could only counsel him,
encourage him, even reproach him, all without
response.
II is something like this paralysis that is now
affctng civilization: the worlds desire for
peace and order and justice is strong but it can.

advice and recommend definite methods, but
attempts to apply this advice seem to end in
further confusion. Experience, skill, brilliance
in directing affairs between nations and groups
and individuals repeatedly prove ineffective
in solving the problems.
The friends of the paralyzed man finally
came to understand what had to be done after
their efforts to assist him had failed: they
brought him to Christ And it should be clear
by now that without His aid the modern world
will not be able to master the that affct it.
Before He healed the helpless man of his phys
ical affliction Christ said to him, Take heart,
son. thy sins are forgiven thee;' only after that
did He perform the miraculous cure with the
words "Rise, take up thy pallet and go into
thy house"
The world needs to be brought to Christ as
the paralyzed man was brought by his friends;
the world needs spiritual reform, to deserve
having its sins forgiven, before it can hope to
conquer the forces that are frustrating its de-
sire for tranquility. And spiritual reform for the
world calls for spiritual reform for each individ-
ual, mastery of self by casting off the par
alyZing effect of sin.
