INDISPENSABLE PREREQUISITE

President Eisenhower responded
that the racial problem is a ques-
ton of leading and teaching and
training people and i takes some
time. On the matter of preserv-
ing law and order he replied that
this was primarily a local response
bility and that thus far the local
governments have moved prompt
ly to stop the violence.
Here is one of the encouraging
aspects Of the otherwise regret
able outbreaks in Tennessee. Tex
as, and Kentucky. It does not
mean that local officials or local
people necessarily are welcoming
desegregated schools witness the
Incorporate outburst credited to
Texas Governor Shivers Yet the
fact remains that responsible peo-
pie have taken measures to main
tain conditions under which an ex-
ceedingly difficult problem can be
tackled by methods of reason, not
of violence.
It might be said that this inter-
vention by arms of the law has
aided one side or the other. If
so. that is at the moment ineiden-
tai. In Tennessee and Kentucky
police and troops have enabled Ne
groes TO enter school and thus far
remain. In Texas the order to
the rangers to transfer to other
schools any Negroes who might
apply could be said to confirm the
purposes of the mob-but only if
this should prove a settled state
policy and not merely an emerg-
eney precaution.

The City's Future

The public hearing to be held by the
Commissioners tomorrow on Southwest
redevelopmept is of extraordinary i'm
portance. 1t is no exaggeration to say
that the trend of future growth in the
District of Columbia will be affected in
large measure by what is decided at this
town meeting" For that reason the
hearing should be attended not only by
residents of the area to be rebuilt but
by citizens from other parts of Washing
ton Everyone has stake in the out
come of the hearing.
The Commissioners, in calling the
assembly, are acting in accordance with
the law governing the comprehensive re-
development of the blighted Southwest.
That law requires official approval by the
Commissioners before any redevelopment
plan can become effective. The Commits
sioners must decide after considering the
community'S wishes as expressed in a
public hearing. Specifically before the
board for approval is the so-called Geek
endorf webb & Knapp plan for
sweeping reconstruction of Area C, ex-
tending from the Southwest waterfront
to the Area B project along South Capitol
street and from Fort McNair to the
Smithsonian grounds. This plan already
has been approved, as required by law, by
the National Capital Planning Commits
sion and the Redevelopment Land Agency.
There will be some objections to the
program in its various aspects. The Urban
League already has criticized the failure
to provide housing that could be afforded
by lower-middle income" families. The
fact should be kept in mind, however,
that the Zeckendorf program is not in
tended to be rehousing project. Instead,
1t is planned as huge face-lifting OPP
Grafton designed to transform badly
rundown section of the old city into an
attractive, prosperous community Of
public buildings, homes, apartments and
business houSes-with a great Mall APP
proach, parks and a cultural center as
special features. And most of this trans
formation is to be achieved with private
capital.
Such an epochal rehabilitation of
Southwest Washington would be certain
to improve the city as whole-economi-
cally as we'll as esthetically. We hope,
therefore, that the hearing tomorrow will
result in a favorable decision by the
Commissioners and that the way will be
cleared for start on city-improvemen
enterprise that will have profound and
lasting benefits for the Capital.

OF leadership there the Graduate School
of Journalism, as Columbia's President
Kirk has said, "has achieved a level of
academic and journalistic accomplish
ment beyond the most optimistic hopes
of the university" Now that he is about
to retire, he can take proper pride in
that fact, and the newspaper fraternity
as whole has reason to congratulate
him and wish him good time taking
things easy.

Veterans Preference

A section Of the Bradley Commits
sion's report on veterans benefits that
merits special emphasis is the one rec
ommending curtailment of civil service
employment privileges given to former
servicemen. General Omar Bradley and
his group are in accord with the Hoover
Commission on this politically explosive
subject. Both commissions found that
the veterans preference law, in its pres
ent broad and permanent form, is dis
criminatory and unfair to some career
employees who, although never in uniform,
have served the Government faithfully,
often for many years.
Neither the Bradley Commission nor
the Hoover Commission favored abolish
ment of veterans preference as general
policy. Both groups agreed that veterans
whose normal pursuits had been inter-
rupted by calls to the country's defense
should be given special unemployment
privileges when they returned to civilian
life. But they opposed the permanency

rather strenuously with the
Court Of Appeals ruling in the

tect law-abiding citizens. The
appellate court did not go into
the guilt or innocence OF Wat

the future the innocent as well
as the guilty are assured Of
their constitutional rights Of
having counsel within a rea-
sonable time. The Court Of
Appeals simply spelled out for

disabled veterans. The Bradley Commits
sion recommended that preferential civil
service treatment of nondisabled veterans
or those with only minor disabilities be
limited to a five-year period after dis
charge from military service, Indefinite
continuance of special privileges for per-
manently disabled veterans was urged,
however.
Such a modification of the veterans
preference law would end some Of the
inequities Of the present system, under
which longtime career employees with
outstanding records have been ousted
during reduction = in force operations,
while military veterans with lower effi-
cheney ratings and shorter terms of en-
ployment have been retained. Congress
should face up to this problem, regardless
of congressional reluctance in the past
to take away any veterans benefits once
they have been granted.

Action in Richmond

Prodded by the filing of four school
de-segregation suits, Virginia's Governor
Stanley seems to have decided that the
time has come to abandon his "wait-and-
see" policy. At any rate, he has issued
a call for an early meeting of the exec
utive committee of the Gray Commission
"to consider any new proposals or other
information which has become avail
able since the commissions report last
November"
It was that November report which
called for an assignment plan and tuition
grants to facilitate eventual implementa-
ton of the Supreme Courts school de-
cision. But nothing was done. The rec
concentrations Of the Gray Commission
were laid aside, and official Virginia was
content to mark time.
Now the heat is on. In Prince Edward
County hearing has been set for July 8
to ascertain what steps, If any, have been
taken toward compliance with the decree.
Needless to say, no such steps have been
taken. In four other placeS-Norfolk,
Charlottesville, Harrisburg and Newport
News--Suits have been filed demanding
indignation. A similar suit is expected
to be filed soon in Arlington County.
In the face of these developments, it
is clear that Virginia can no longer stall
for time. Unless the public schools are
to be abandoned, steps toward integra-
ton must be taken which will satisfy the
command for "all deliberate speed" 1t
is to be hoped that the call for meeting
OF the Gray Commissions executive COM
mittee IL the initial move toward this end.

Frinoe-Porkinq Site?

In connection Win the pro-
posed move of the Bureau OF
Standards to Montgomery
County, the question has been
raised in Congress as to the
future use of the abandoned
site.
1t is an ideal site for estab-
lishment of a fringe parking
lot. The curbs in the neigh
borhood just of Connecticut
avenue are now used to ca
pacity for all-day parking.
This proves the need and also
the fact that such an area
would be used. Surely the Fed
eral Government should make
some contribution for the re-
lief Of the downtown traffic
congestion. One thousand and
five-hundred cars belonging to
bureau employees are now
parked within the grounds and
the removal Of the less per-
manent buildings will more
than double the number OF
cars that can be parked on the
site.
No special bus service would
be necessary as the Connec-
ticut avenue bus line is adj
jacent TO the site and provides
excellent service.

1t is gratifying to note the
critical comment in the press

take this case to the Supreme
Court for final decision.
How fortunate that Watson
resides safely in jail for a pre-

have turned this hoodlum loose
on the community, free to
carry on further depredations.

high officials in those White
House conferences whose faces
were sullen and shocked at the
hilarity as the man that was
to save the Union told yet an
other story. Lincoln declared:
with the fearful strain that is
on me night and day, if I did
not laugh I should die" A
study of our greatest leaders
seems to confirm the dictum
of Coleridge: mo mind is
thoroughly we'll organized that
is deficient in the sense of
humor." In that respect man
is but a child of nature
although it is only man who
really laughs. But it has been
ordained that always close to
weeping is laughter. The uni
verse is serious enough but its
surface everywhere ripples
with gaiety. 1t seems always
ready for laugh.
OF course, all laughter is
not wholesome. There is
laughter which jeers and
Kisses, stings and ridicules.
The Good Book warns that
there is the laughter Of fools
which is like the cracking of
thorns under the pot. Like
thorns, that sort Of perverted
laughter can tear and lacerate
human spirits. There is a
world of difference between
laughing at people and laugh
ing with people. DR.. Powell
Davies, one of the Capitals
outstanding preachers. does
not exaggerate the matter
when. in scanning the wide
fields of history and litera-
ture, and impressed with the
preservative power of the salt
of humor, he declares: Laugh
ter is an integral part of life
"a very important part. 1t is
a shaping force in human af-
fairs-it can influence events
it can mold character. 1t is
interviewer with everything
else-one of the basics of ex-
perience-an indissoluble part
of human life."
