Jefferson on Court

Available to everyone in
paper-back, drugstore edition
is a book which every voter
indeed. every high school and
college student-should read
before election day. This is a
collection of Jeffersonian wis
dom, honestly edited by Saul
K. Padover, and copyrighted
away back in 1899. Attention
by the voter to, Jefferson's
words on the judiciary-espe-
cially the Supreme Cortland
on States rights could result
in the final retirement Of both
Eisenhower and Stevenson to
their neglected acres beyond
the mountains.
To T. Ritchie. in 1920.
Jefferson wrote: THE judi
ciary of the United States is
the subtle corps of sappers
and miners constantly work.
ing underground to undermine
the foundations of our con-
federated fabric. They are
constituting our Constitution
from a coordination Of a gen.
eral and special government
to a general and supreme one
alone. This will lay all things
at their feet :"
In the same year, writing to
one Jarvis about the Supreme
Court, he said: ITO consider
the judges as the ultimate
arbiters of all constitutional
questions (iS) a very danger
GUS doctrine indeed, and one
which would place us under
the despotiSm of an oligarchy.
Our judges are as honest as
other men, and not more so.
They have, with others. the
same passions for party. for
power. and the privilege Of
their corps. Their maxim is
'boni judicis est ampliare
jurisdictionem, (the duty Of
a judge is to enlarge his juris-
diction) and their power the
more dangerous as they are in
Office for life. The Consti-
tuition has erected no such
single tribunal, knowing that
to whatever hands conf1ded,
with the corruptions of time
and party, its members would
become despots."
Tut. tut! Mr.. Jefferson!
This is treason!

School HEARINGS

Thank goodness the former
principal of Eastern High
School had courage to state in
his letter the actual existing
conditions in our schools,
brought on by our Supreme
Court.
It is enough to bring on o
heart attack-believe me.
Our children being deprived
on all the nice things, we as
parents remember in our school
years, because of the condition!
Surely all teachers will rally
in support of Mr.. Collins and
do everything in their power
to make things right again.

Since the D. c. schools were
integrated there have been
many happenings that would
belle propaganda about har-
mony. Integrated schools will
never work out satisfactorily
because it is being crammed
down the peoples Threats by
the NAACP and court DEGREES.
The committee investigating
our integrated schools is only
skimming the surface. If it
wants to get down to the grass
roots and facts, then it should
guarantee that all teachers
would not be fired for telling
the whole truth; call as wit
nesSes, not just school prin-
cipals. but many of the class
room teachers. Then they
could get the true lowdown on
the state of affairs. ] don't
mean to imply that the prin-
cipals are not telling the
truth but the teachers have
closer contact and are in a
better position to know more
than the principals in the
matter.

After I had the bird for

to it, but when I handed it
over to the assistant curator
Of the birdhouse / felt 1t would

the bird was a purple grackie.

Russia Bocktrocks

There should be no need for further
debate on the human-safety and inter-
national-security principles tentatively
proposed for the International Atomic
Energy Agency. The safeguards outlined
in the draft of statute for the "atomS
for peace" agency were agreed to unan-
imouSly earlier this year by the atomic
powerS-including Soviet Russia Why
Moscow has decided to backtrack on its
agreement now is mystery which only
the men in the Kremlin can explain. So
far they have not done so.
The American representative at the
current 81-nation atomic conference at
the United Nations, James j. WadSworth,
has made it plain that an inspection
system is necessary to the protection of
the health as well as the security of
member nations. The atom, harnessed
for medical research, power and other
peaceful uses, is still potentially danger
GUS threat to those who work with it,
For example, inexperience or ignorance
could turn medical researches into dis
asterS for those conducting the expert
mentS or those subjected to them.
Faulty reactorS could menace whole
communities. Regular inspections by the
new world agency would help to safe
guard participating countries against
such costly mistakes.
OF even more Importance, however,
are the measures planned to prevent any
diversion of fashionable materials from
peaceful to military uses. Article XII
of the proposed statute provides: For
the purpose of examination, the agency
shall be entitled to send into the territory
of the member making the request (for
agency materials and aSSiStance) a per-
son or persons qualified to investigate the
projected enterprise. For this purpose
the agency in consultation with the state
making the request may decide whether
to utilize officials or its own staff or en-
ploy suitably qualified nationals of any
member" This provision was In the
tentative draft approved by the Soviet
Union at 12-nation conference last
February
Yet, just as the international agency
seems on the verge of becoming reality,
Soviet Ambassador Zaroubin has objected
to the proposed inspection plan, as we'll
as to the barring of Communist China
as participant in the conference He
argued-as Russia has argued in the past
against A-bomb inspection-that the
sovereign rights" of member nations
would be infringed by inspection. IN
stead, he advocated a pledge by the
nations that the fashionable materials
obtained from the agency pool would be
used only for peaceful purposes.
But mere pledges, even if made on
paper, offer little insurance against abuse
OF the privileges to be accorded the nom
atomic powers under the agency program.
Recent history has shown the dangers
OF relying on the promises of nations
with aggressive tendencies If Ambas-
Sador Zaroubin was sincere in his opening
declaration to the conference that Russia
supports the setting up of the interna-
tional agency" he will withdraw his OBJ
1ections to the inspection clause. With
out such safeguard the "atoms for
peace" plan as envisioned SO brightly by
President Eisenhower in 1853 would face
imminent collapse.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES {. TRACEWELL

How long can q baby bird
go without food?
Moles, they say, cannot live
more than 10 minutes without
something to eat.
The young bird is fed at
from 5 to 10 minute intervals,
sometimes oftener, by the par
ents. ~ a0s a
When one is picked up by a
human; and brought up by
hand. it usually gets fed every
hour, II 1t is fortunate.
The, following letter shows
that one such baby went for
many hours unfed.
E. D. B. of Decatur street
writes:
This summer became an
unwilling baby sitter.
Some neighborhood chill
dren brought me a little black
bird that had fallen out Of its
nest.
II told them I could not
care for it at the time.
II asked them to take it to
their mother.
THE next morning / looked
out on the lawn next door and
saw a small bird lying on the
grass.
II thought 1t was dead, and
reproached myself for not TAX
ing it.
Later it chirped, and called
for food.
II felt I had to bring it in
and care for it.
1.-THE children said their
mother would not let them
keep it, but that they had
given it milk from q dolls
bottle that evening.
+ ~
Il put the bird in a small
peach basket. It was too
weak to stand up. / fed 1t
bread soaked in milk at first.
Then ! remembered that / had
written down "a recipe for feed
ing young birds.
Il made it up, equal parts
Of pablum, cooked egg yoIk,
cooked liver and raw ham
burger. ! put small pellets OF
the mixture on a tooth pick
ana fed it to the baby bird.
II gave it water through a
medicine dropper before each
feeding. It would let me
know it was hungry by its
squeaking call. The children
said. Wen name him Squeaky.'
~
1T was interesting to see it
grow stronger until it could
stand on its feet and then
later futter up to the edge Of
the basket. Finally it learned
to fly short distances.
"One day 1t flew across the
room to the top Of my head.
One evening I put it in its
basket for the night and went
out on an errand. When /

procedure by the boards pres

press, Two hundred persons
damned the county school

overlooked into nearby halls
and offices to hear the inte-
grafton discussion. Although
there were a few late-comers,
most Of these people were pres

began her audience" with
about a third of them actually
inside the board room. She
certainly saw the many heads
of serious and sincere county
taxpayers and parents trying
to look in and listen to the
discussion. However, Mrs.
Scharf did not mention even
the possibility of moving to a
larger room where all could
be accommodated comfortably.

British Charged
with Abuses in
|Cvnrus Schools

NICOSIA, Cyprus. Aug. 3 up.
Greek Cypriot church and civil
leaders accused Britain today of
prosecuting their teachers and
students.
The island ethnarchy's edu-
cation council sent a resolution
to international Cultural and
World organizations charging:
/. The shutdown of the four
biggest secondary schools had
condemned" 4.781 students to
educational starvation;
2. About 100 Greek secondary
school teachers were expelled
"for the sole reason that they
are Greeks;
3. An unspecified number of
students from Is to IS years old
are being held in detention
camps without trial:
4. Students between and 10
are being sentenced daily by
special courts to "humiliating"
whippings.
The resolution asked the as
SiStance of the international
organizations.
The Cyprus overnm n t
charged last week that Greek
teachers in Cyprus schools
preached violence and lawlesS-
ness" to pupils and were re-
sponsible for many "detestable
outrages.
Student violence has been
frequent since the Eoka under
ground launched it's fighting
campaign to unite the British
island colony of Cyprus with
Greece.

said he would have no right to
bar a delegate from doing that,

Why, think there would be a
