Unfinished Symphonies

If you've seen the 1857 cars

tainly-with their longer, lower
lines, and with those upswept
tenders beneath which the smaller
wheels seem already half-retracted
these new projectiles give the
impression of taking off for the wild
blue yonder.
But, like the horseless carriage
from which they sprang, they are
still intended to stay on the ground,
and still required to stop as well as
to go. Moreover, since the motor
millennium is not yet, there will be
times when some of them will be
stopped because they can't go. II

travelled highway before misfor-

But as it stands now, the most
modern and completely equipped
glamor car you can buy offers no
protection to driver or passengers
or to oncoming traffic-if and
when it is stalled on the payment.
Four headlights, push-button con-
troll, power steering and brakes,

sitting duck" as truck drivers call
such a vehicle. Truck drivers, in
cidentally, carry portable refiec-
tors or pot torches that they set
out to distinguish their vehicles
in this situation. But we never
knew a passenger car owner who
carried such paraphernalia.
Oddly enough, every car that has
been built in America in recent
years has the basic equipment to
flash the warning a quarter of a
mile in the darkness of night that
it is stopped, and is an obstruc-
ton on the travelled road. We re-
fer to the standard flashing turn
signals. And all is needed is sim
ple extra switch that will cause
Ill four of these signals to flash
simultaneously.
Why the car makers have not
given us this obviously needed
safety feature in the new models,
we wouldn't know. 1t would cost

rvs And Time Payments

- n
Consumer credit is the thing that
enables you to buy TV set or
washingmachine or new car on
the installment plan. And it is be-
cause the volume of this consumer
credit has reached such huge pro-
portions that the Federal Reserve
Board decided a while ago to put
on the brakes-by way of increas-
ing interest rates.
When this happened, it was dis
covered that trucks, tractors and
trailers to haul the nations goods
were considered in the same cate
CORY with the TV sets and home
appliances, since time purchases of
this equipment so vital to our econ
omy were classified as consumer
credit. Hence the trucking industry
which is essentially large group
of many small businesses-was soon
feeling the pinch and President
Eisenhower. called conference OF
industry leaders and Government
officials to see what could be done.
The President admitted he could
MT see why the purchase of truck
ing equipment should be consid-
cred a consumer credit operation.
Roy Fruehauf, president of the
worlds largest truck-trailel msn-
u f a cturing concern declared
There's a tremendous difference
between the purchase of a Ty' set
with nothing down and the pur-
chase of trucks and trailers to
haul the nations freight" Such
tran "a C t ions, he pointed out,
should be classified with the
equipment trust certificates used
by railroads to purchase locomo-
tives and boxcars."
AS a result of the White House
conference, Wendell B. Barnes,
Small Business Administrator has
reported to the President that he
has set up a special section of the
SBA to deal with the problem.
Financial specialists, he said, had
been assigned to each of the 40 field
offices to assist the industry, of
which SO per cent are small
truckers, and therefor classified as
small business. And as a further
result, truckers all over the coun-
trv have responded promptly to the
SBA's offer to help.
A curious footnote to this activ-
itv is provided bv the fact that

financing help to it's customers ali

Trade Commission for doing sol

LONGER SCHOOL TERM

Few people ever ask themselves or any
one else why public schools generally run
for nine months and then close up for three.
The three-month vacation has become so
commonplace that its feasibility is scarcely
questioned by the public.
Every now and then, however, an edu-
Gator or someone else who has done some
thinking on the subject notes that a three
month absence from school makes far less
sense these days than it used to. The sys-
tenn is geared to an old-time agricultural
economy, to a time when children were need
ed on the home place in summer to help out
with planting and harvest. With some ex-
ceptions, the system is now outmoded.
Recently Dr. Richard t. Arnold, director
of basic physical sciences at the Alfred P.
Sloan Foundation, proposed school year of
10 and one-half months for the upper ele-
mentary grades. He said that the present
nine-month period "simply is not adequate
and handicaps us terribly il competition with
others"-that is, with other countries. DR..
Arnold also thinks a longer school term
would tend to cut down juvenile delinquency.
The idea of longer term is worth serious
thought. 1t would step up education, make
better use of facilities, and still allow ample
vacation time.

A TIME FOR CAUTION

In most sections of the United States, the
season of poorest conditions for tooling an
automobile about the streets and highways
is at hand. Do not be deceived by the light
tone of this announcement: 1t. is a serious
matter.
The classic American auto accident, as
the safety experts are fond of reminding US,
still occurs on a straight, dry road with clear
visibility That testifies to the carelessness
and lack of judgment demonstrated by many
drivers.
Nevertheless, the potential for crashes
not the most serious ones, maybe, but serious
and damaging enough-rises rs the weather
worsens. Leaves on wet paving act like
grease beneath wheels; the hazards of snow
and ice and fogged windows are too well
known to need emphasis
It's good time, then, to polish up ones
awareness of safe driving rules. Be con-
siderate, fit speed to conditions generally
look alive-and stay that way.

1T CAN BE DONE-BUT!

We frequently hear people in public life
advocate tax reduction on the one hand
and huge new government spending pro-
grams on the other hand
Actually, both proposals could be under
taken-by such expedients as an extreme
''soft money policy and by turning loose the
presses that print the currency
If that should happen, what would the
results be? Secretary of the Treasury
Humphrey answered with these words: "This
!. is the policy of deliberate imitation and
must result in a return to a budget unbal-
anced by several billion dollars, with all of
the iniationary pressures that it would Gre
ate." Then we'd have more dollars in cir
culation, but each of them would become
progressively less valuable-and if the pro-
gram were carried to its logical end, would
become worthless

Committee of the UN General AS
sembly has passed a u. S. resolu-
ton barring debate on the admis-
sion of Red China during this years
Assembly session.
This would seem to sweep this
explosive issue under the rug for
another year, although India's
Krishna Menon and the Soviet's
Vasili Kuznetsov, who protested the
action as high-handed and illegal
respectively, warned that the Red
China question would 5e raised a.
gain before a meeting of the full,
79 member Assembly.
Considering the source of the
warning, this seems remarkably
sporting. But it should not be dis
counted, and it rsight be indicative
of the confidence of this unholy
pair in the outcome of full-scale
debate. AS matters stand today, a
number of the recently admitted
members may be expected dutifully
to follow the Red cause.
The eight members voting for the
u. S. resolution to cancel the de-
bate were the U. s., Britain, France,
Nationalist China, Peru, Turkey,
Pakistan and the Dominican Re
public. And it might be well to re-
member that those voting against
us were the USSR, Czechoslovakia,
India, Egypt and Denmark.
Further, we hope our statesmen
will bear in mind India's passion
for Red China when Washington
rolls out the carpet "a non-Com-
munist red) for Headman Nerru

From my viewpoint" President
Eisenhower told his press confer
ence, "the United States has not

publicanism is with us and is going
to be tie guiding philosophy of the
Republican Party"
This was the Presidents answer
to the question of why the voters
returned a Democratic Congress
while giving him a mandate as i'm
pressive as that of 1852. And it
means that his second term will be
devoted to increased federal re-
sponsibility over the now familiar
programs of better farms, better
roads, better schools and better
health facilities for the people.

Aiken declared he had been for

THE VALUE OF NEWSPAPERS

The idea is widely held that television has
gained an unshakable hold on the young
people of the country, to the detriment of
other and older media of communication
But apparently that idea needs some ov-
erhauling, as this item from Editor and Pub
Usher demonstrates "The study of the teen
age market just released by the Bureau of
Advertising completely destroys the tele-
vision myth that the youth of America is a
new race of TV viewers to the exclusion of
printed media TV ranged high with this
group for its entertainment value, but re
search revealed the medium of most prac-
tical value to teen-agers is the newspaper
and 80 per cent of them are newspaper read
.ers. This study should be valuable new
advertising sales tool for newspapers"

Under pressure of the WCC there

based on segregated union or

success in the South the Jim
Grow practitioners talked of

lack of fortnight leadership
from the heads of AFL-CIO en-
boldened the labor-hating ra-

of disrupting the unions as a
preliminary to destroying them.
The action of the ALF-CIO

reversing the trend. Whether it
is or not will be determined on
how boldly and vigorously the
Meany-Dubinsky committee fol-
lows through.
In the meantime, the front
line battle in the fight for civil
rights is still the Montgomery
bus protest movement. Hitherto
the support from the unions has
been scottered and spotty. Many
locals have waited for the top
leaders to speak. The action in
itiated at the ILGWU conven-
ton can be considered semi
official sanction for all union
locals and members to step up

LII HAS SECOND HIGHEST NUMBER OF WHITE STUDENTS

Sometimes we think the Eng
lish language is most revealing.
For example, take a phrase like
"uncolored by emotion" or "the
facts in black and white" The in
ference in both expressions is
that color has such winning ways
it can easily sway judgment in-its
favor.
Well, that's doubtless true
certainly when it comes to pic
taking, anyway! Haven't you
noticed how color pictures bring
back colorful moments and scenes
with almost unbelievable real
ism? Color serves as flag to

every vital detail of a time and

White students now enrolled in
formerly all-Negro colleges &C
cording to a recent report of the
United Negro College fund.
DR.. Frederick D. Patterson,
UNCF president, reported that
800 of these students are at
West Virginia State College and
200 at Lincoln. Both of these
are public institutions.
Sixtv-seven white students are

PENNSYLVANIA, 18 at Fisk Uni
versity in Tennessee, 6 at Hamp-
ton Institute in Virginia and 8
at Philander Smith College in

Nine other UNCF member
schools have had white pupils at
some time in the last five years.
Among these, Talladega College
in Alabama has five white chill
dren in it's grade school. Others
include Bethune-Cookman Col
lege in Florida, Virginia Union.

in North Carolina and LeMoyne
College in Tennessee.
Applications from whites have
been received by three other in
stitutions- Bishop College in Te-

North Carolina, and Tuskegee
Institute in Alabama.
DR.. Patterson, president emer-
titus of TuSkegee, said all the
funds of member colleges are
legally open to any qualified
applicant, regardless of race.
Eight of the schools have mod
flied charters in recent years
to eliminate references to Ne

two others cite "colored" stu

nonexclusive. The rest appear
never to have been restrictive.
