have set in motion some of the
most harmful rumorbred boycotts
OF business firms accused-usu-
ally with no truth-of aiding the
NAACP. Whites, indeed, appear
to nave suffered most, being also
on the receiving end Of boycotts
by Negroes for supporting the
White Citizens Councils.
IT Is clear that the economic
weapons are dangerous ones, and
southern leaders are deeply con-
cerned by the harun they are do
ing. One remedy Is to expose the
false reports which start many
of them. But a more fundamental
answer Is also being sought in
steps to cultivate moderation and
positive improvements in race re-
lations. Leaders in Montgomery
would be well advised to follow
this course.
So far. the Negroes there have
had ali the best of it-especially
in national and world. opinion.
They have asked for a rule which
obtains on buses in other SOUTH
ern cities like Memphis. This
still aims at segregation, but with
a firSt-come- first-served rule.
WhiteS are seated in front. Ne
groeS in the back, but either race
may overflow its own area if
there are seats elsewhere. Whites
at present are in the poor posi-
tom of trying to compel Ne
groes to ride buses. Also to stand
even though there may be emp
ty seats.
Moreover, some of the Negro
leaders appear to understand that
the spirit in which economic
weapons are used is vital. They
have emphasized calmness and
nonviolence. Mr.. King pleaded or
one occasion, eve must use the
weapon of love. We must have
compassion and understanding
for those who hate u.s." Economic
power. if exercised in that spirit
will not be easily stopped.

Not even the big question or
the election - both on state and
national levels - can now seem
TO transcend or even over-shadow
the segregation question. One gets
a good balance in his thinking
when given opportunity TO d.
rest such thoughtful reflections
as the observation reprinted here
today.
pEsEGREGATIoN: ECONOMIC
WEAPONS
The Negroes of Montgomery,
Alabama, have started something
which will not be stopped by the
conviction of the Rev. Martin
Luther King, Jr., on the charge
of organizing an illegal boycott.
The bus boycott is not halted.
Trials of 80 other defendants
were suspended pending appeal
of the King case, and that may
take several years to reach a
final adjudication.
It is difficult to see how that
process can do anything but hurt
the segregationists' cause. For
even eventual upholding Of this
conviction-which is by no means
certain-would not kill the idea
of nonviolent use of economic
power. Meanwhile at every step
there would probably be a con-
tinuance of bad publicity for the
methods adopted to enforce white
supremacy. Also, unhappily, there
may be spreading use and abuse
of boycotts, damaging to both
races and to the South as whole.
The Montgomery boycott de-
veloped as a protest by most OF
the city's $4,000 Negroes against
discrimination on the BUSES. In
the King trial there was album
dant testimony intended to show
justiication-which might be
defense under the law. 1t left
little doubt that treatment of the
Negroes on buses fulfilled but
half of the separate but equaP'
standard.
Southerners honestly convinc-
ed that the two races will do
better if kept separate-at leasl
in certain associations-will FIND
their case damaged by the ugly
evidence of insult and humilia-
ton in this record. Senator East
land recently declared segrega'
ton was not based on any sens
Of racial superiority. But as prac'
ticed it is often hard to olsen
gage from manifestations o
"white supremacy" which are no
pretty even when as unconSciou
as the discrimination practiced il
the North.
Negroes have by no means bee
the only ones to employ eco
nomic weapons in the segrega
ton struggle. Whites months az

"The Southwest Corner" was first
produced on Broadway in February, 1866
and was done on television this past fall.
Of the play, James Hopson says, 1T is a
play, which for its effectiveness, depends
upon establishing mood. There is little
action, but a quiet tone. Because of this
quiet tone, there is opportunity for good
acting. One must select the right char

BY WILBUR H. YOUNGMAN

The winner of a blue ribbon
often is the happenstance of
having a flower or vegetable at
the right stage at the right time.
But to win regularly the gardener
usually starts by selecting his
varieties for their substance"
and form.
Practically every kind of flower
and plant has a variety or vari-
cites Of superior form and sub
stance. The regular exhibitor
selects them to enhance his
chances Of winning.
Then there is the matter of
good garden practice to produce
healthy. vigorous plants.
It is not always the largest
flowers or fruits that win. Rather
it is those with good balance
between stem, foliage and flower.
An oversize flower on a short
stem is hardly good balance
Thus the gardener must disbud
or take such other steps as are
necessary to get the right sized
stem to go with the flower. Over
length also should be avoided.
since most flower shows limit the
length of stem
Evidence of disease, insect
damage and bruising due to
careless handling, are faults that
the Judge will note and penalize
even though the flower may be
perfect. Dirty foliage is frowned
upon. Clean with a damp cloth.
Sometimes a light spraying with
a bulb syringe will do.
Harden off" the Blooms
Flowers can be protecte d
against willing if they are cut
the day before the show and
harden of" in deep cold water
in a dark corner. This is most
important if the show is on a
hot" spring day. Cutting the
blooms a few hours before the
show is seldom safe because of
the danger of willing before the
judging. Also. it is small consol-
alton to have a prize winners
card in front of a wilted bloom.
/ At the show. check the sched-
ule to insure getting each entry
into the proper class. A bloom
in the wrong class cannot win
a ribbon. Next make certain to
label correctly as to variety. In
most shows q correctly labeled
bloom will win over an unnamed
blossom. other things being
equal. Place the stem firmly in
the container so that the flower
will look the judge in the eye
Blooms that do not hold Their
heads up are apt to escape notice

GARDENS
Flower Show Exhibitors
Given Some Suggestions

Wedging the bloom into the vase
with a bit of green wax paper
or cotton is usually permissible.
If the show schedule calls for
three blooms. make certain you
have three blooms in the con-
tainer. Never use more nor less
than the specified number. A
competent judge will disqualify
any variation.
Some Other Precautions
The same applies to length of
stem, to foliage and to disbud-
ding or natural grown limita-
tons. An overlength stem is
subject to disqualification, so
shorten before placing in the
container. Most shows require
foliage along with the bloom.
Thus it is poor practice to re-
move the foliage except that
which would be under water. 1t
is permissible to use foliage of
daffodils from plants other than
