TUSCALOOSA. Ala, Mar. 10
.R.-The expulsion of a 20-year-
old leader in demonstrations
against the University of Ala
bama's first Negro student has
brought a conflict between two
White Citizens Council leaders.
But the mass punishment of
% university students charged
with participation in the disor-
ders had created little apparent
stir on the tension-weary cam
'pus.
Asa E. Carter, executive secre-
tary of the North Alabama White
Citizens Council at Birmingham,
said his group would circulate
petitions calling for the resigna-
ton of DR.. Oliver c. Carmichael,
university president.
He accused DR.. Carmichael of

was inevitable. Even in some of
the most die-hard States the
ultimate victory of educational
indignation is foreseen."
The editorial concluded:
Social revolutions aren't
made in a day. Patience, re-
straint and moderation are re-
quired on both sides-aS much
in New York as in Alabama.
1.-THE white supremacists are
doomed; and their doom will
come about with greater speed
if the extremists on the other
side learn to curb themselves.
If they don't, resistance will only
be stiffened, and the cause of
decent racial relations in the
Deep South set back for many
years.
1.-THE thousands of whites and
Negroes who have been working
toward integrated education at
the local level are at last in
sight of their goal in many
areas of the South. and some
have already reached it.
THE strident voices of dema-
gogues have no proper place in
this delicate situation that, de-
spite all the difficulties. is in the
last analysis a hopeful one"

Need for Leadership

Mississippi, South Carolina and

In its summary, the Times
says:
"As the South considers en-
tering a new era of race rela-
tons, the dominant attitude OF
the white population is against
any change. The reactions
range from resignation to def
ance. AS a consequence, the
cause of racial understanding
has suffered a setback in the
Deep South-Georgia, South

csc VIEW - Civil Service
Commission Chairman Philip
Young takes a dim view of the
proposal that the csc chair
mans duties be divorced from
any White House ties. The
House Civil Service Committee
has proposed that the csc
chairman devote his full time
and attention to his commission
duties and no longer be the
Presidents chief personnel ad-
wiser at the White House. This
system went into effect at the
start of the Eisenhower Admin
istration.
Mr.. Young scornfully brushed
aside the proposal in a speech
last week. The CSC chairman
said the prestige of the entire
Federal civil service has been
enhanced by having this close
tie with the White House.
In a speech last night, csc
Executive Director John w.
Macy, jr., declared: 1.-THE pres
emily functioning participation
of the President and his cabi-
net with the Civil Service Com
mission in the formulation of
national personnel-management
problems should be a pattern for
personnel management in all
Federal Jurisdictions and estab-
lishments. The administrative
and legislative accomplishments
of the past few years in the
civil service field were achieved
with this top executive partici-
patton, thereby putting the full
weight of the executive branch
of the Government behind pro-
posals for the improvement of
personnel management"
Mr.. Macy also called on the
heads of all departments and
agencies to participate directly
in personnel policy matters in
stead of delegating these duties
to subordinates.
..'Today's problems in the field
of Federal personnel administra-
ton are of scope, variety and
urgency which absolutely require
participation of top management
levels in the establishment of
personnel policies and pro-
grams Mr.. Macy said. I'VE

Florida 10 Resist
Court Edict 10
Admit Negro
TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Mar. -

TALLAHASSEE. Fla, Mar. Is
| (R.-The Florida cabinet
pledged itself today to resist by
every lawful means the United
States Supreme Court edict that
a Negro be admitted immedi-
ately to the University of Florida
Law School.
The cabinet, made up of the
Governor and six elective ad-
ministrative officials. agreed that
Attorney General Richard w
Erwin should ask the Supreme
Court to reconsider what Mr..
Erwin called its "precipitous. I'M
reasonable and arbitrary" order
to admit Virgil D. Hawkins to
the school.
Gov. Leroy Collins, an attor-
Iney. has offered to appear per-
sonally before the Nations high
est tribunal if further arguments
are granted.
The cabinet also voted. as the
suggestion of Gov. Collins, to
call a conference next week to
discuss the issue in an attempt
to work out a plan for resisting
the court order.
"They didn't allow us any oral
argument" Mr.. Erwin said.
I'VE think, in all due defer
ence to the Supreme Court of
the United States. they had be-
fore them what had happened
lat the University of Alabama;
they knew this was a live ques-
Ition that has aroused debate all
over the country.
"The Negro people of Florida
have been forebearing. They had
tried to let public opinion be-
come prepared. For the United
States Supreme Court to cut of
the Florida Supreme Court
seemed to us completely arbi-
ltrary." Mr.. Erwin said.
"They shouldn't bull in a china
shop that way" he added.
"All that has been done to
promote relations between the
races has been shattered" he
said.

last year.
Under the revised plan, Gov
eminent workers would receive
free of charge insurance protec-
Ition for major long-lasting ILL
nesses which result in heavy ex-
penses over and above those
which are paid for by ordinary
private health insurance policies
The protection also would extend
to members of their families.
Federal employee leaders are
asking that the catastrophe
health insurance protection ap-
lply to all medical expenses per
person that exceed $500 a year
However, the Administrations
formula isn't expected to be that
liberal, due to the cost involved,
Employees would receive no
insurance coverage on medical
expenses that could be covered
by the average private health
insurance policy. even if an en-
ploye has no such policy at the
present time.
PROMOTIONS - Chairman
Johnston of the Senate Civil
Service Committee will sponsor
a very important bill for Fed
eral employees within the next
day or so.
The measure would establish
promotion boards in all Federal
departments and agencies to
determine promotions on a
merit basis of employees. CLASH
fed as well as postal workers
would be covered by the bill.
