YOU should know the background.
If Bluit Andrews had attended the
first meeting of those parents of the
400 boys and girls who went on

not ask for integrated schools, but
a new school
In l945. was one of the commit
tee who went to the school board
with IL other persons. Mr. Walker
was chairman of the school board
We. as a committee appointed by
the PTA. stated our cause Of the
school building. Mr.. Walker and the
school board promised the commit
tee that they will build a. school for
the boys and girls of Prince Edward
County, a new building the year of
1916 We. as a committee. left the
school board room looking with
high hope Of new school.
Since then. committee after COM
mittee went to the school board and
asked for an addition to the school
with more rooms to relieve { h e

committees that things were high
and they could not get any money
So from l945 until 1851 committee

On July Goth, 1899, five Italians were
lynched at Tallulah, Louisiana. after they
had killed a local doctor in retaliation for
his killing one of their goats On the even
ing after the goat was killed, Frank De-
fatta, and four other Italians, cornered the
doctor and mortally wounded him.
The sheriff arrested them, but mob took
them from his possession and hanged them
all. Two of the Italians had been charged
with similar killings in the past. The
Italian Embassy in Washington made an
investigation and protested to the U. S.
Government but the Government pointed
out that the Federal Government had no
jurisdiction over crimes committed in one
OF the states, and pointed out to the Italians
that if redress was sought, it should be
sought from louisiana

Deficit Spending

CENATOR HARRY +. BYRD, leading
- advocate of sound fiscal policy says the
nation may slip back into deficit financing,
after one-year surplus, in the new year.
This is true, he says, because of a
spending spree by the present Congress.
A JOINT White House Congress economy
movement, he says. is a vital necessity
The forecast of a possible deficit in the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1857 came
after Senator Byrd had led successful
effort to have Congress cut the existing
debt limit authority by 50 billion. He is
hopeful that this action by Congress may
make for economy. in that a spending
spree next winter would nccesstate a rise
in the limit
Danger signals in the present fiscal
situation, as seen by Senator Byrd include:
Federal expenditures have risen too
rapidly. The Eisenhower budget submitted
a year ago last January called for expendi-
lures of 1924 billion in the fiscal year just
ended on June 30. Final accounting will
show actual expenditures around $66 bill
