MARTHA ROUNTREE an
nounced yesterday that she
signed a contract Saturday
with Corn Products, Inc, for
her new television show that
will go on NBC Wednesday
evenings at 8 o'clock begin
ming July 4. To be called
"Press Conference" it will be
modelled to some degree after
the Presidents press confer
ence. 1t will be carried by
125 stations from coast to
coast, will use 16 reporters per
performance, making it the
largest on the air. If pos
sible about five of the re-
porters will be women. The
producer thinks the newsgals
have not been getting the
break they deserve. s. Martha
will moderate the show: hus-
band Oliver Presbrey, former
advertising executive, will
handle that end of the busi-
ness.
At least $50 people slipped,
supped and scintillated at the
Gregory Smiths open house
yesterday from 6 until 10 and
after. Their beautiful George
town house can accommodate
that number without straining
a seam. though the gathering
was meant to be staged under
benign skies.
The garden, especially pre-
pared for the party, could be
admired rather than enjoyed
in the rain that continued all
day. Audrey Train called it
nothing but a Scotch mist.
/ didn't check it with the
hostess, but someone said the
huge pink rhododendron bush
in full bloom and the late
blooming pink azaleas had
been moved in a couple of
days before the party.
Peggy Smith did say that
the colorful flower beds had
just been restocked while the
STORY magnolia tree, and
two lockwood trees two stories
high, had been installed just
before the Georgetown gar
den tour few weeks back.
The effect was lovely, with
the fountain playing and bril-
liant splashes of yellow and
orange nasturtiums center
ing the low tables scattered
about. Two new garden CAD
gets were viSible-low green
mnshroom-shaped lamps stuck
into the ground that looked
for all the world like growing
green leaves; and small COL
ored parasols that clamp on
the side of any table and can
be tilted to provide the most
shade.
Among the stream of
friends who filed in were the
future director Of the National
Gallery of Art and Mrs. John
Walker; Catholic University's
famous director of drama,
Father Hartke: the Robert
van RoijenS-Hildy in a new
white feathered hat from Paris
that tits back off the face
showing the hairline; Freddy
and Pillow Lee, and the
Presidents Secretary and Mrs.
Bernard Stanley.
The John Dimocks were
there and Hamilton Robin

The situation also Is calm In
Tennessee, where courts have

some schools already have ended

DEGREES.
But at the same time legisla-
tors in Alabama, Georgia. South
Carolina. Mississippi and Vir-
ginia are bordering many other
moves to maintain segregation
in face of the decisions.
. Litigation SDackens
Meanwhile, there appears to
have been @ slackening Of It'll
CATION to force desegregation and
activities - such as economic
sanctions-designed to discour-
age supporters.
However, in an irregular pat
tern, integration continues to en-
croach gradually upon the Deep
South.
Sponsors of the interposition
doctrine hold that the Federal
goyernme has only such
powers as have been surrendered
oy the States, that the States
have never surrendered the right
to operate segregated schools
and that the Supreme Court ex-
ceeded its authority in holding
public school segregation Illegal
Therefore, they contend. the
States can interpose their SOW
ereign power and declare the SUI
preme Court ruling to be void
and of no effect.
Alabama has passed such Q
resolution. one is awaiting COM
mittee action in the South Car
DINA Legislature and one !:
ready for introduction In Geor-
gia. In Virginia, q milder resolu-
ton, strongly protesting but moi
defying the court ruling. has
been introduced.

Gov. Luther H. Hodges. who
may call special session Of the
North Carolina Legislature be-
fore next fall, also favors that
possibility Of curbing 'assump-
ton" by the Supreme Court.
Interposition and other legis-
lation to maintain segregation

ginia Gov. Thomas B. Stanley.
Attending will be Governors of
three other Southern States now
holding legislative sessions. Mar
win Griffin of Georgia, ]. P. Cole
man of Mississippi and George
Bell Zimmerman. jr.. Of South
Carolina.
At the same time, Georgia is
moving toward a private school
system. Administration bills to
close public schools which are
forced to integrate and make
direct grants to students were
unanimously passed in the Sem
ate. They will encounter House
opposition, but passage there
also seems assured.
The Georgia Legislature also
has before it bills to close State
parks if segregation cannot be
enforced. to prohibit mixed ath-
letic contests and to revoke
charters of cities which do not
maintain segregated parks and
other facilities.

Editorial
WE SHOULD TRY EVERYTHING

1T HAS NOW been clearly established that the West
Indian wild cherry is one Of the richest sources OF vitamin
found in any plant. The berry grows here. These two facts
ought to be put together for the economic good Of this Is
land, and the entire group.
ONE OF surest ways out for this place is through
the development, production and sale Of agricultural pro-
ducts. Our economic development, and heaven knows this
phase Of our life needs close and and constant attention,
must come not through onecrop system, but through
perhaps many small crops, some of them even seeming in
significant.
AS OF H present, we hear Of no well worked out,
coordinated, imaginative plan for the development and pro-
ducion Of any Of those fruits and vegetables which can
make money for us. Over the years there has been a constant
attempt to produce tomatoes fresh tomatoes and ship
them north. But difficulty of timing, shipping refrigeration,
and the like, seemed to have cut deeply into many plans,
Then there was the cannery, and that, too, fell by the way.
HOWEVER TO SIT pat, confident that there is no way
out, or only one way, and to reject any and all ideas, good
bad. and Indifferent, is to concede defeat. And a deteatiSt
attitude has no place in the development Of these Islands.
It IS hoped that the new group Just formed will have enough
vision and imagination to try many things in many ways.
MANY OF OUR local fruits and vegetables could be
used in many ways. We think Of the preserves, the syrups,
the chutneys, ielhes, the cashew nut (which brings a good
price on the American market, and many, many others.
To find methods Of making the best use of these is q problem
or.those directly concerned, and the quicker they face up
10 it the better.
