Nowhere in the Constitution is any au-
thority transferred to the Federal Govern
ment to interfere in the operation of the
schools. which is clearly a state function.
Although it is a popular sociological con-
ception of the day, and politically hot
issue, segregation in the schools is a matter
for the states as long as all citizens are
offered equal opportunities and protection
1t seems that the reaction to the Su-
preme Court ruling is getting stronger
each week and that more people are begin
ming to question the constitutionality OF
the May 18th, 1854, Supreme Court deci-
sion.

A National Voice

A RECENT COLUMN by the editor of the
IA national magazine, United States and
World Report, calls on all Americans to
return to the basic liberalism which has
made our country great. Moreover, David
Lawrence, the editor. notes that the Tenth
Amendment has been completely ignored
by the Supreme Court in its Indignation
ruling affecting the country's schools.
The Tenth Amendment of the Consti-
tuition says that powers not delegated to
the United States by the Constitution, nor
prohibited u. to the states, are reserved
to the states respectively, or to the peo-

IN WASHINGTON these days, the latest
l thinking concerning the President has
been a furry Of speculation that the
President is going to retire. after all. For
a time, in the last few months. the belief
had seemingly grown that the President
would run again.
But, IS the result of a recent news con-
ference and several other things. reporters
in Warrington. some of whom thought the
President was ready to run again. are now
leaning to the school Of thought that the
President is seriously considering stepping
down.
There are indications from friends OF
the President that the Chief Executive
really wants to retire. The question may
be whether the President will change his
mind.

THE ACCELERATED PROGRAM for

THE ACCELERATED PROGRAM for
income taxpayers in Virginia which
will make two payments Of taxes in 1857
is a maneuver to forestall the evil day
when aales tax will be levied in Virginia.
Every state which touches Virginia has for
some years exacted a sales tax. Only by
the most careful restraint on spending. and
a period Of unprecedented business activi-
ties has this State been able to forestall the
sales tax. The huge spending of the FEEDER
al Government in Virginia has contributed
effectively to these excellent business con-
ditions. 1t
The windfall Of extra funds through
the accelerated program is one time bene-
fit. The next Governor, whoever he may be,
will find it more difficult to find some new
source or some maneuver to escape sales
taxes.
A sales tax is a direct tax and will bring
to the attention of ali of the people the in
creasing cost of government. Just how far
the American people can and will go in
paying taxes for the expansion of big
government" no one can tell. The end has
not been reached until the sales tax is in
stituted, and may be not then. There will
be taxes and taxes of every description UNI
