HOUSTON, Tex, Oct. 13.-
Desegregation, the issue which
has the States of the South,
including Texas, in a turmoil,
strangely enough has scarcely
raised its head as a major is
sue in the presidential cam
paign here.
The Democrats for Steven
son, the Democrats for EisenS
hover and the Republicans
agree that this is so. Indeed.
the race issue and civil rights
have become far more impor-
tant in the political race in
Northern and Western States
than they are below the Mason
and Dixon line.
The explanation advanced
for this situation, when Texas
is seeking by court action to
bar the National Association
for the Advancement Of Col
ored People from activity in
this State, is simplified-per-
haps oversimplif1ed - by at
least one outspoken leader who
is supporting Adlai Steven
son. He said: "In Texas, we
do not like the stand taken on
the desegration question by
Eisenhower and by Stevenson.
There's no real difference be-
tween the two candidates on
this issue. Further. we don't
like their positions"
The more Stevenson asserts
his approval of the Supreme
Court decision desegregating
the public schools, and the
more President Eisenhower
asserts that, as Chief Execu-
tive, he will see that decision
is made effective in accord
ance with the courts ruling,
the less the great mass of
voters approves them here.
Also, the two candidates seem
on this issue like two peas in
a pod.
Stay With Stevenson
But the Democrats for Ste
venson apparently have ac-
cepted their presidential cam
didate and will go along with
him in the election campaign.
The Eisenhower supporters, on
the other hand, strongly re-
Sented the desegregation de-
cision, handed down by Chief
Justice Warren. appointed to
the court by Eisenhower, and
seemed willing to shy away
from the President. They seem
now to have caught their Sec
ond wind, most of them going
along with Eisenhower again.
not because of his attitude to-
ward the court decision but
because they favor him for
other reasons.
Nothing has happened in
the Texas presidential race as
dramatic as the support now
given Eisenhower by Repre- :

Justice Douglas
Praises Nehru
BY the Associated Press

Prime Minister Nehru of India
was depicted as a great fighter
against communism by Supreme
Court Justice William o. Douglas
in a television interview yester-
day.
Justice Douglas, q world trav-
eler, said the American "tenden-
cy to military solutions" has been
a deterrent in bridging the gulf
Of misunderstanding between the
United States and Asia.

gram, Youth Wants to Know, I"
Justice Douglas said:
I'VE are looked upon in Asia
more as a military power than
as a great educator, as q great
humanitarian"
In defense of the view that
Prime Minister Nehru fights
communism, he declared:
His great opposition inside
India is the Communist Party,
and Nehru's greatest achieve
ment has been the defeat Of
the Communists in local and
national elections. !. The Com
munists have not carried a sim
gle election in India-local or
national"
Neutralism Defined
Mr.. Douglas said he didn't
defend Mr.. Nehru's foreign policy
Of neutralism, which he defined
this way: 1T is pretty much like
the isolation policy of America
from George Washington down
to, say. the turn of the century.
Living apart. not interfering
with other peoples problems.

Nehru feels that India is on such
a very, very narrow margin in
terms Of capital wealth that it
has to spend its resources do
mestically to whip communism
in the long run"

earlier statement that he thought
1t was time to sit down and
work out a political settlement
with Red China"

will not go to the wedding unless
they can invite all the people

THE COUNCILS VIEWS
Ordinarily we would not advise
clipping. In this case, however
that would be the only way to
keep the parents from quarrel
ing and growing more bitter
towards each other by the hour.
Both sets of parents are actu-
ated by a sense of duty and a
sense of pride. Bob'S parents
think it their duty to their son
and their relatives and friends
to have big affair, and their
pride would be so hurt by a pri-
vate wedding that they are will
ing to make a reckless financial
sacrifice to have their way,
Selma's parents want to spend
their money doing something
practical" for the newlyweds,
and they evidently dislike the
spectacle of a large wedding.
An elopement would really be
the only satisfactory compromise
possible. 1t would relieve the
parents of the necessity of argu-
ing further. 1t should be a real
elopement, and there should be
no threat or hint of it in
advance.

Selma am very much in
love with q man who wants to
marry me, and there are none
of the usual complications, such
as parental opposition. We
should, therefore. be very happy
in looking forward to our life to-
gether, but we are extremely
miserable because of a disagree
ment about the kind of wedding
we should have.
Bob is the only child in his
family. His parents evidently
have always looked forward to a
big celebration of his wedding.
My parents, on the other hand,
have always expressed them
selves as revolted by formal and
costly weddings.
Bob and I had discussed this
problem because we sensed a
storm ahead. When we told my
parents we wanted to marry,
they at once suggested giving us
a substantial gift if we agreed
to a private wedding. Bob said
his parents would be disap-
pointed, but my father argued
that he would not feel justified
in spending a great deal of
money on a wedding party be-
cause it would be out of proper
ton to his moderate means.
When Bobs parents heard of
this, they said they would gladly
pay the entire cost of the we'd
ding, but wanted a large and
formal affair. My parents refuse
to go along with this, and Bob's
parents are quite bitter. I have
pleaded with my parents to
make some compromise, but they
refuse.
L. S. M.-My daughter wants
us to be bowled over by the
stupid and unreasonable attitude
OF Bob's parents. They have less
means than We have, and would
actually be going into debt to
pay for a wedding. We could
manage to satisfy them without
going into debt, but it would be
criminal extravaganza for us tc
do so.
I do not see how this can be
compromised. I would be willing
to spend a reasonable sum and
to invite close relatives and a
few close friends. but this woulc
