BY BEN PRICE

Alabama's white citizens coun-
ellis leaders are showing plain
signs of a split over anti-Semitism
The Jewish issue, however,
seemed to be part of a larger
struggle for control of the state
wide, prosegregation movement.
In general the fight is shaping
up between Asa E. Carter of Biz
mingham and State Sen. Sam
Engelhardt of Macon County.
Engelhardt said in Montgomery
that his organization, The Assn.
of Citizens Councils of Alabama,
does not recognize the Carter
group.
Carter is executive secretary Of
the North Alabama White Citi-
zens Councils.
The struggle, apparently in the
making over the past several
months, was brought into the

Caucasior Jews observe the
Seder ceremony w t h unique
custom. Several families assemble
together in the home of the Chac-
ham (Wise NAM. In the midst of
the service, an impressive drama
tization is enacted A knock
ing, made by one of the young
men masquerading as a poor
traveller from the Holy Land, is
heard at the door. When no ans
wer is forthcoming, the young
man calls and asks for permission
to enter. Following a lively con-
versation in which the traveller
gives evidence of the fact that he
is a Jew, he is admitted into the
room. He brings hearty greetings
from the sages of Jerusalem and
assures the gathering of the
speedy redemption of all Israel.

Asked About Ku Klux Khan
Asked if the councils contained
any of the old Ku Klux Khan ele-
ment, Carter replied, 1--WE cannot
keep them out, but we try to see
that they do not gain positions OF
leadership"
Carter, a former student at the
University of Colorado, said that
when Engelhardt first set up The
Assn. of Citizens Councils of Ala
hama in Montgomery, he was Of
fered a job. >
The dark-haired Carter said he
rejected the job on the grounds
that it was not up to seven or
eight: politicians to undertake a
statewide organization; that such
an organization should be estab-
lished on the initiative of the
various local councils. 4
Carter added that he had cul-
tivated a disgust for politicians,
particularly Alabama politicians"

more effective miticides may be
applied. At all costs. the insects
should be kept under control
and not allowed to weaken the
plants.
Feeding is needed. perhaps
more regularly than for the usual
array of house plants because
these plants will continue in
active growth under artificial
lights. An application of one Of
the plant foods every two weeks
is recommended.
Growing plants under artificial
light opens UP q whole new field
OF gardening, one that can be
expanded as interest develops.
The use Of the lights can be
arranged to fit almost any situA-
ton from a shallow box in the
Twins room or in hallway to
the equivalent Of a greenhouse in
the basement or garage. 1t is
even possible to grow miniature
citrus trees. gardenias, and hi
discus. There Is no limit to the
wondrous beauty you may create.

Artificial Light Can Bring
Flowers to Every Room

many needs, but for more light
the 75-watt tubes may be used In
their stead. They will be Of most
value where greater distance is
needed between the lights and
the plants, and also for those
plants which must have greater
light intensity than can be fur
nished by the 40-watters.
Meter win Check Intensity
The light provided by the
bulbs can easily be checked with
the ordinary exposure meter OF
by a light meter. The conversion
factor may usually be checked
with the ordinary exposure
meter.
Using artificial light to grow
plants may involve one factor
that is commonly overlooked
the length Of time the lights

plants need IL to II hoult Of

cially important If the owner
wishes to go on q vacation for q

It is usually desirable to have
a reflector to defect light rays
towards the plants. Many frames
come equipped with reflectors
but one may be made by painting
the background white, or by
fitting a sheet of aluminium
over the bulbs.
Study Shelf Arrangement
Because the light rays d.
mlnish in intensity sharply as
they are moved away from the
plants. 1t may be economical to
have the plants on shelves spaced
is to Is inches apart. In this
way it is possible to grow a great

window gardens this may not be
practical. For propagation the
average gardener will not be
engaged in such large scale
operations as to need several

artificial lights has the same
humidity problems to contend
with as the window gardener
Some device will be needed ia

Porous soil mixtures are an aid
in avoiding waterlogged soils
The standard potting mixture OF
equal parts of sand. soil, and
peat moss or leafmold is usually
adequate for this purpose.

as growing plants is concerned
is a new field. It is one that offers
considerable promise without ex-
cessive cost. Both the common
Mazda light bulbs and the fluo-
resent tubes have been found
satisfactory for this purpose. The
1luorescent tubes, however, cost
less to operate and will un-
doubtedly be more practical.
Plants will grow very salts

Some lights do not provide the
essential red rays and con-
sequently should be avoided. The
daylight fluorescent blub seems
to provide these needed red days
In o few cases combination Of
the two kinds Of light blubs will
prove the more satisfactory since
the Mazda blubs emit more rec

Usually the blubs should bt

However, there are plants that

foliage plants will perform sat

Odds are heavy against the
Senate's restoring more than a
mere token amount Of the 81
billion slashed by the House
from the foreign military and
economic aid program.
Democratic and Republican
Senate leaders made this plain
to Presidential Assistant Sher-
man Adams in a conference
at the White House. Adams
had urged the Senators to
heed the pleas of the Presi-
dent and other administration
leaders.
Despite the desire Of the
Senate leaders to concur with
the executive branch on as
many matters Of international
affairs as possible, they pointed
out that in this election year
it would be difficult to comply
with Eisenhower's request.
The leaders noted that the
country by and large is
opposed to what often are
described as ''giveaways." Thus,
Adams was told, it would take
more than the usual clicheS
of administration spokesman
such as that a cut in aid
would "cause great injury to
the Nation and our system of
alliances"-to change the mind
of a substantial number of
Senators of both parties.
Opposition to a big foreign
aid program has developed
principally in the Middle West.
AS a result, some Senators
who normally are mindful of
White House wishes find
themselves in a difficult posi-
ton. Their support of the
administration may cost them

political life.

Everybody Makes Mistakes

"the Russian had reason 70 be-
lieve that his intended Ameri-
can prey was not likely to be
employed by any other Ameri-
can until our subjects govern
ment had decided what to do
with the body?
The Russian probably didn't
know of the Americans
status or anything about the
case. because nothing about
it had appeared in the press
and nothing was said to him
by the Air Force analyst,
either. Cain. in his speech, was
a little free in his speculation
and probably didn't realize he
was embarrassing the man he
was defending. For, If the
Air Force man had been as
indiscreet as to advertise in q
newspaper for a job and then
to tell a stranger---a Russian
about his intimate relations
with the Defense Department
here, he would hardly have
been reinStated later, as he
was, even TO a "nonsensitive"
position in the Government.
1t must be concluded, there
fore, that sometimes the cru
saders for civil liberties make
mistakes, as do government
bureaucrats. In the long run,
the Klaus Fuchses, the Alger
Kisses and the Petersens are
caught because a slow-moving
security system is better than
none.
This correspondent wrote at
the outset of the present adj
ministration that it was a mis-
take to abandon the type of
central review board which the
Truman administration had set
up. But since that time the
Supreme Court has cast doubt
on whether any central board
would be possible under exist
ing law. A better co-ordina-
ton by departmental boards
and security divisions is nee
essary and should be attain
able so as to reduce mistakes
to the minimum.
Every year, however, thou
sands of persons throughout
the country are indicted and
then acquitted in court trials,
but the stigma remains. No
way has been devised to avoid
this. Government security
cases, on the other hand, are
never publicized unless the ac-
cused, through his attorney,
brings the case out in the
open to try to get public sup
port, and when this happens
the Governments side of the
case rarely is revealed because
it is based on confidential in
formation.

The Eisenhower administra-

course as a passive operation, a
respite. a time to catch breath
and to pamper and nurse pros

The Supreme Court is the

This 1t is doing in the vital
field Of civil rights, a corner

critics. Here 1t has operated
dramatically.
In one direction it has. in a
sense, pioneered by way Of

is. as you know, in its de-

History Seen Viewing Recent Decisions
AS Redefining Fundamental Rights

In the midst Of the relent-
less parade of history, it is
hard to back of far enough
to get perspective. and it is
indeed risky to try to say what,
a generation or more hence,
will stand out in the history Of
the period we are in now.
Nevertheless, 1t is ventured,
risky as ii may be, that it is
likely to be the Supreme Court
and what 1t has done to re-
value and protect our ever
vulnerable individual rights
and freedoms that will be
dominant in this era when a
popular general was President.
rather than anything his ad
ministration itself did affecting
our lives and fortunes.
In short, the name Warren

Of Medicine, page 1881, de-
scribes surgery as palliative
rather than curative" in a
complete review of regional
enteritis which is Crohn's dis
ease. The review discusses all
of the treatment included in
ileocolostomy. its conclusion:
1T is this high recurrence
rate, even in the hands of the
most enthusiastic sponsor Of
any one form of operation that
has relegated surgery to the
role Of a palliative rather than
curative measure. This dis
appointing aspect is usually
found within a year of opera
ton, at the proximal point of
the new anaStomosis - the
new terminal ileum.'
There is pessimism and dis
illusionment about the effec-
tiveness Of any regimen of
providing more than pallia-
ton and control Of symptoms.
They all suffer from the
disappointing sequel of recur-
renee and persistence of the
disease"
That doctors disagree is a
truism, but the foregoing &C
counts hardly fall within its
scope.
They are not the whole
story. Patients often surprise
their doctors and confound the
body Of research. And it also
has been a very long time since
the great Winston Churchill
could pass a medical examina-
ton. But the above is part Of
the story, too.
