In THE NEW YORK TIMES


Washington-Th purpose of Vir-
ginia' S new laws against racial inte-
grafton in its public schools system
is to create a legal modus operandi
for state noncompliance with the
Supreme Courts ruling that com
ptlsory segregation of the races is
unconstitutional in the Unit d
States. The laws. based on Vir-
ginia's argument that the ruling was
itself unconstitutional, mark the
second step officially taken by the
state to support that position.
This step is the logical sequel TO
the resolution adopted last Febru-
airy by the Virginia Legislature and
approved by the Governor The
resolution asserted the concept of
Jefferson and other statesmen OF
the Republics founding era that the
Federal Constitution established the
right of a state to 'interpose" be-
tween its citizens and an attempted
exercise OF the Federal power in
governing areas reserved in this
, instance. long conceded to the
states
The practical effect Of these new
laws on Federal measures to en-
force state compliance with the Su
preme Courts ruling is to assure
that. if any official is to be put in a
United States JAIL it must be the
Governor OF Virginia. And that
would be grave action indeed for
a Government at Wa ing n
Should number of Southern states
make their Governors similarly re
sponsible, which is the hope of the
Virgin:ans who conceived h e
laws, that will constitute and dram
atize "the massive res S { a n e
through every legal means" that is
the objective of Virginia S leader
ship.
Fundamental Effects
The fundamental provisions Of the
statutes adopted at Richmond are:
An intermediate board is set up
between the Governor and the local
school authorities If a local board
orders school Indignation and the
state group does not veto the order,
the issue goes to the Governor. who
is given the power to close that
school
Should the Governor yield on the
integration. state funds for support
of the school are automatically
withheld. And there are several
complicated ordinances designed to
prevent local board from support
ing an integrated public school by

and YOU are comparatively fortunate.
In fact, the life we lead is mostly a
matter of relatively as was Einstein's
theory on mathematics. If one can adjust
his philosophy so that he appreciates the
good things around him. and all the gifts
and benefits he enjoys he can become a
rich man, regardless of the amount of
money he earns or has in the bank.
The greatest item of wealth in this

Count Your Blessings

I'D YOU READ the other day about the
mother who lost both her daughters at
the same time when an automobile struck
them as they crossed the street, holding
hands? Did YOU read about the young boy
who was losing the sight of both eyes in
battle with deadly disease?
Did YOU read recently about the man
who had spent over twenty years in prison,
and then was found innocent of a crime
he had been convicted Of committing? Or,
perhaps YOU have seen the stories recently
about prisoners of war who are just re-
turning from Russia, after having spent be-
tween ten and fifteen years in slave labor
or prisoner war camps.
The point we seek to make is that there
are always others, far worse off than your
self Whatever your troubles might be, and
they are probably small ones compared to
lfe's real troubles, they could be worse,

treme, or radical. remarks.
This is the mark of a smart leader, or
politician. Those familiar with his military
record. with his book on World War II, and
with his management of Allied officers as
Supreme Commander during World War III,
will know that Eisenhower appreciates the
advantage Of high-level approach.
One principle behind the high-level APP
proach, as far as the President of the Unit
ed States is concerned. is that the office
demands dignity We do not believe Presi-
dent Eisenhower does not care about the
little man in America, nor do we believe
that elected Democrats in office four years
ago were traitors, or acted in a treason
able fashion. Such statements reflect on
those who make them, and tend to disgust
the American people.
In the long run. such tactics will lose
the party responsible for them votes. and (,
therefore, they are unwse from every
standpoint.

While he found some exceptions. he dis
covered that many of the people he inter

This is an astonishing report concerning
the wonderful compilation of books which
we call the Bible and which, it is generally
believed. has affected the destiny of man
kind more than any other literature ever
produced.
Whether the above observation applies to
many of our readers or not. we do not
know. but we sincerely hope that they have
not become so blase as to pass up the op-
portunity of enjoying the great spiritual
truths that the Bible presents to men.
100 many persons, we presume, approach
the Bible a solution of their material
troubles and the remedy for their physical
Ills. They seek to discover the answer to
mundane issues and overlook the values
that abound in the DEVELOPMENT of ind;-

terpret the Bible for other people, but we
make no apology for suggesting that it pre-
sents mankind with philosophy that will
endure through the ages Its lessons. even
when understood only in part, are i'm

the great teachings will serve the present

human.
In most cases, German Shepherds are
used for this duty. Some of the major de
partment stores of the United States have
found that these dogs are far better as
Watchmen, inside the stores. than humans
They can seek out and find persons hidden
in the store, and some of them are even
trained to go on beat down the aisles of
the store and turn in reports with their
paw, by pressing an electic button
Without much doubt. the use of watch
dogs by police. by stores and by the mill
tary, is going to increase considerably in
the coming years. These dogs can be train
ed to disarm a human being, pin him on
the floor and hold him there or. even to
hold several men until an officer arrives.
Their accomplishments are remarkable
and no doubt they can be used to save many
lives, and much property loss.

2,500 Virginia Troops
 To Transport Supplies
 To DEW Line OutpOsts

FORT EUSTIS, Va, B-More than 1,300 Army Transportation Corps troops left here by train Friday to carry supplies to DEW Line radar outposts in Alaska and arctic Canada.
 The soldiers will join an ad- vance party of 200 men at Seattle before sailing the week of July 16 for the far north. Another group of 1,200 troops, also trained at Fort Eustis, will leave the East Coast by ship dur ing the week of July 16 and sail direct to the arctic.
 This is the second summer the Army has been given the mission of carrying supplies and electron- ic equipment to the Distant Early Warning Line.
 While the soldiers are sched- uled to return in October, the Army said, their length of stay will depend upon how long ice conditions in the arctic permit unloading operations to continue. 7 The troops travelled to Seattle on four 18-car trains.

Whaley must have been making forced landing when the tail of his DeHaviland Dove struck a high knoll and plunged the ship into the ground.
 Whaley went to Nome as boy of 18, living there a year before attending the University of Wash .ington and California Polytechnic Institute.
 He returned to Alaska in 1940. After service as search and res cue pilot in World War II he came back to the territory and since 1946 lived in Nome, Kotze- bue and Fairbanks. The last eight years he was, active in business and civic affairs.
 Survivors include Mrs. Whaley, two daughters, a son, and his brothers, Frank of Anchorage and George, Seattle.
 Heintzleman paid this tribute to Whaley:
 He was one of Alaska's most forward looking citizens. He worked constantly for the good of the territory. The mtirnely end of his career as pilot and an airline director is tragic loss to all of Alaska. His family can take comfort in the many things he accomplished in the hours he de- voted to his work in our territory.
