Richmond Talk
On aggregation

BY ALEX r. PRESTON
Star staff Correspondent

vention on March S.
Gov. Stanley has said he ex-
poets to set special election to
name convention delegates Feb
ruary 81.
The convention would remove
a barrier in the State constitu-
ton which now prohibits use Of
public funds for educating chill
dren in private schools. The bill
will be signed by the Speaker Of
the House and President of the
Senate tomorrow and Gov. STAN
ley indicated he would place his
signature on it Immediately
thereafter.
Arlington Delegate Kathryn
Stone, an opponent Of the Gray

Zimmerman. jr., of South Caro-
lima; J. P. Coleman Of Missis-
sippi, and Marvin Griffin of
Georgia
Gov. Stanley's Office did not
confirm the report Immediately.
An aide to Gov. Griffin, reached
by telephone in Atlanta, how
ever, did confirm the report.
Tentative Date Set
Gov. Stanley's Office, when in
formed of the report already re-
ceived by The Star, later issued
this comment:
Tentative arrangements have
been made for a meeting of Gov
errors of Southern States whose
legislatures are in regular seS-
sion with reference to public
school problems of mutual con-
Germ.
IF the conference is held It
probably will be in Richmond on
Tuesday. January "a.

expected in the near future"
Eighteen members of the State
Senate met in closed session here
late yesterday to go over 4 draft
OF a resolution of interpos:tion
to be introduced by Senator
Harry Stuart Of Russell County.
Challenges Court
Interposition, in brief. is a
declaration by State that the
Supreme Court was without
power to do what it Gid and
that the State refuses to recog-
nize the decree until the Federal
Constitution is amended. Prior
to May II, 1854. the Supreme
Court had held that separate
but equal" facilities for white
and Negro school children were
in compliance with the Federal
Constitution.
Senator Stuart had indicated
that his resolution might be in
troduced today or tomorrow

ton may wait until after Tues

CHICAG o. - The farm
revolt against the Eisenhower
administration even in the
Midwest Republican heartland
is all of a sudden widely
acknowledged. But 1t is not
the only aspect of political
change at the grass roots.
There is the tight money"
policy of the administration
which makes money scarce
and interest rates high. 1t is
a major complaint of the
farmer, but it operates down
the line.
When q Democrat says Ell

ness" he cites tight money.
But the hunger for funds in
expanding America applies
also to public bodies, to home
builders. even to big business.
They find it hard to satisfy
their wants and their employ
ment-creating plans are cut
back.
1t is the first taste for young
people Of the kind Of retrench-
ment that was commonplace
to the depression generation.
They are registering Demo-
cratic in far greater numbers
than they are Republican.
The spontaneous enthu-
siasm for President Eisen-

we are not going to have for

tries. Important as the Suez

that much more important is
the acceptance Of this principle
that once a sovereign gov

points out that lit takes q

than it is to use the canal"
He added:

London Conference on the Suez

OF the powder key Of q great
war in this area.
Not since the end Of World
War II has World War III
been as likely as now. Presi-
dent Nasser, far more than
he dreams, is being used as q
Soviet pawn.
The Soviet objective is crys-
tai clear. 1t is to isolate the
West from its lifeline, which
is oil, and do so without in
volving its own armed forces,
choosing its own time to en-
ter the contest as victor or
resolver of a stalemate. If it
succeeds the Soviets will be
master Of the world.
For that achievement, Mas
ser himself will be sacrificed, in
the long run. The Soviets
want to see no Pan-Arabia led
by Nasser. They are not in
the business of creating new
empires.
He is a temporary conven-
fence.
In this. the Soviets have
been handsomely assisted by
the United States, making it
impossible for President Mas
ser to listen to reason. even in
his own interests. The West
has denounced him, the So
VETS. and the neutrals; en-
couraged a display Of force,

War II, does not seem to have
seeped in sufficiently among
the main campaigners, in
GLIDING the Chief Executive
and Vice President Nixon,
themselves.
Both standard bearers have
been reminded that in the
United States more than in
any other country in the world
aggressiveness IS the watch
word in business and liberal
professions. as well as in pol
itics. Successful companies
prefer aggressive vice presi-
dents and statesmen to merely
high-minded ploddeps,
Aggressiveness need not and
should nottbel offensive. It
appeals to people because 1t
shows strength and determi-
nation. 1t consists in politics
of picking out a number Of
weak points Of the adversary
past or present-and harp
ing relentlessly on these. The
wellwishers Of Eisenhower say
that speeches such as Nixon
made recently about two cars
in every garage cannot pos
sibly appeal to the voters as
much as the famous two
chickens in every pot during
the 1882 campaign. They
know only too we'll how much
is still owed, even on the one
Car in front of most homes.
Republican politicians who
do not agree with the so-called
high road campaign expect
their leader himself to start
hitting hard as he did in 1852
after he was described as run
ming as a dry creek runs. They
have pointed out to him re-
Gently that the chances Of cap
turing the House and Senate
are extremely slim unless he
decides to change his strategy
and tactics before it is too late.
One New England Republican
leader reminded him recently

company, including Egypt,
which was charged to operate
the canal under specific con-
ditions until 1868 when the
concession would, in any case,
expire. Thereafter whoever
operated the canal--and by
logic 1t would be the granter
Of the concession-must con-
tinue to allow unrestricted
passage Of the ships of all ma
tons. these to pay to the oper-
ators appropriate tolls, q con-
dition which Egypt has ac-
cepted.
The Users Association
claims the right to put itself,
as far as its own ships are
concerned, in the position Of
the company, to engage its
own pilots and collect their
tolls. The United States Coy
eminent has no power to COM
mand American shipowners so
to behave, and Dulles had to
commit the Treasury to freez-
ing their accounts to compel
compliance. The association
will seek the cooperation Of
the Egyptian government in
these conditions - q compli-
ance that it knows Egypt will
not grant. It is still hoped
that economic losses to Egypt
win sooner or later cause
President Nasser to change his
mind. We think that before
that there will be hell to pay.
If nations embark upon a
course that requires armed
force, they should employ the
force Immediately, and negoti-
ate from a position of posses

force. they should not depIoy

Grass Roots Soundings by Republicans
Point to Need for More AgqressiYeness

Republican leaders through
out the country are concerned
over the continued slipping Of
their party's popularity. Many
unofficial polls taken in recent
weeks. but which have never
been printed, indicate clearly
that while the public's respect
and affection for President
Eisenhower continue undi-
diminished the same people
who admit they ''like Ike" also
say they will vote for the
Democrats in November.
Nonprofessional poll takers
drugstore owners, hartend-
ers, ETC.. to whom the grass
roots speak more freely than
to the professionals-have &C
curately estimated the pulse Of
the country in the past. These
estimates are gathered in
formally by precinct captains
and their assistants and for
warded to higher officials.
This does not necessarily
mean that the national COM
mittees in Washington receive
all the reports. But the lead
ers at State levels do get them,
and the Republicans have be-
come increasingly worried in
the last few weeks.
The main trouble. accord
ing to these unofficial reports,
is that the defenders Of the
political title-the Repub-
licans in this instance-are
not sufficiently aggressive. The
high road campaign estab-
lished by the strategists in
Washington may appeal to
hig hem in ded intellectuals.
But the country by and large
wants something more, it is
said, than the lure Of two cars
in every garage and three tele-
