were also advances in meats
dairy products, eggs and other
foods.
Food Prices Rise
In Washington there was a
is per cent advance in food
prices between June and July
But the increase for fruits and
vegetables, largely seasonal, was
81 per cent. The July food in
dex at 1859 was 3.5 per cent
higher than a year ago, but
slightly under the August, 1852
peak.
There was a AS per cent rise
in milk prices in Washington
and the index for meats. poultry
and fish rose 1.8 per cent.
Across the country there was
an advance of Z of l per cent in
transportation. This was the
result of higher prices for used
cars and the increase the motor
list is paying for gasoline and
tires as the result of the higher
Federal taxes.
The bureau also reported that
factory take-home pay and real
earnings in July were at the
highest level ever reported for
that month. But there was a
slight decline from June.
The average worker with a
wife and two children received
$72.1l a week in July, and the
single worker $64.78. These pay
rates were about $1.80 larger
than a year earlier, or 3 per
cent.

bankruptcy and submission to

Third, we must continue to
develop a bold and imaginative
program to win the minds and
hearts of men to the ideals of
freedom and democracy. Com
muniSm has long sought to cap
ture the leaders and the thinkers
Iof the world. The true ideals of
freedom and democracy can win
Iout over the deceptive and false
goals of Communism, if people
have chance to compare them.
We must give them this chance
We should not lose this contest
by default.
In our contest with world
Communism we cannot relax.
We are dealing with a dedicated
enemy. quick to pounce on any
weakness of resolve on our part.
For the sake of millions in the
world who depend upon our lead
Iership. and for the sake of our
children and their children, we
must not falter in this vital
struggle for freedom.
THE Republican Porty is
oeoin young and imOeino-
tive
Great as the temptation may
be to think only of our security
for the moment, we shall never
resort to the cynical type of
compromise which may seem to
promise peace for ourselves but
which would inevitably bring
war.
We face the task, inspired by
the vigor and vision of President
Eisenhower. Under his leader
ship the Republican Party, now
one hundred years old, is again
young and imaginative. 1t has
captured the idealism and faith
that is the greatness of America.

a great mistake if we were to be-

now apparent that even slight
indignation in the public schools
of vast areas of this Common
wealth will not be tolerated"
IAN ever increasing number
Iof counties are placing their APP
preparations for schools upon a
month to-month basis with the
declared intention of closing the
schools if they are integrated in
any degree.
1T, therefore, now seems that
public schools in large areas of
Virginia will not be preserved but
will be closed if the proposed
plan for the assignment of pupils
upon a nonracial basis is
adopted as the law of Virginia.
Hits NAACP Action
He said that while a solution
ito Virginia's segregation has
been sought the NAACP with its
alien leadership has thrown one
Virginia munity after
another into the Federal courts
with demands for the immediate
indignation of its schools.
Il cannot now place the local
school authorities of Virginia at
the mercy of these influences
through the adoption of a plan
which would make indignation
OF the races in our public schools
not only the Federal court-made
law, but the statute law of this
Commonwealth"
Senator Gray said it was his
hope and prayer that all of
Virginia will combat this we'll
conceived plan with the courage
which I know her people possess
even at the risk of disrupting
our school system. 1 think all
Virginians should be reminded
that nothing can be more de-
Structive to our school system
and their efficiency than inte-
grafton.
Urges Resistance Policy
Il am firmly convinced q
policy of successful resistance
can be maintained if all of us
are determined enough. Should
State funds be withheld from To-
lcalitieS which integrate through
local determination or through
the unconstitutional power of the
Federal judiciary, there may be
some descriptions of school sys-
TENS.
But Just as certainly. as we
accept a little isolated and piece
meal indignation the pressure SO
generated will bring more and
more indignation until the whole
State will be engulfed. Wholesale
destruction of school systems
and a great deterioration OF
efficiency in those that operate
where the races are mixed even
to a very moderate degree will
result"

the Republican Party have been
the many years in which it was

We are conservative only in the

we use this as a springboard for

These are our ideals as we face

~. These achievements can be
nullified by otomic
wor :"
We have made great progress
in many fields. But we cannot
rest satisfied with our progress,
so long as avoidable misery,
disease or ignorance persists in
this great land.
But all these achievements can
be nullified by the horror of
atomic war. That is why we must
be equally skilled and resource
full in our drive for permanent
peace in a troubled world.
We have peace in the world
today. But we are not going to
rest on our laurels and be sat
listed with the achievements of
the past three and one-half
years. The task is not vet
finished. If I may apply the
words of Abraham Lincoln to
the present situation, it will not
be finished so long as the world
is half slave and half free. The
enslavement of any people is a
threat to peace. The triumph of
aggression in any part of the
globe is a cloud of war over the
entire world. When freedom loses
anywhere, it is threatened every
where.
We must recognize that TODAY.
the Soviet Union is mounting a
massive new offensive, economic
in method, political in purpose.
and backed by a vast and grow
ing military machine. To counter
this offensive our foreign policy
must be both imaginative and
flexible. We must be ready to
anticipate Soviet moves, but we
must also be prepared with all
peaceful and honorable means
to take the initiative in advanc-
ing everywhere the cause of
human freedom.
There is no need on our part
to react to every Soviet gesture
and to feel that we must always
be on the defensive. Our record
in support of the dignity of man
and the independence of peoples
speaks for itself. We can stand
on this platform before the ma
tons of the world.
In our unceasing struggle for
world peace, I believe that three
areas in particular must be con-
stantly considered.
No sacrifice is too
greet . :"
First, We must have the mill
tary strength to clearly deter
any aggressor. To keep up this
strength we must all sacrifice;
the young men who enter mill
tary service as well as the rest
OF us who pay the high costs of
essential defense. But no sacri-
nee is too great, if it is the price
of freedom.
Second, we must continually
seek to keep the free world in
dependent in the face of Com
munist maneuvers. American
partnership in the alliance of
free nations is essential to our
safety. The security of one is
the security of all. In addition,
we must maintain a long range
foreign economic policy to enable
nations to strengthen and main
tain their independence. Eco

myself in disagreement with
some members" of the commits
sion on public education about
its report, the Associated Press
reported. He said:
Since that report was sub
mitted in November, 1855, de-
velopments have taken place
which have compelled me to
conclude that the recommended
plan for the assignment OF pupils
will not effectively prevent en-
forced indignation of our schools
and will in the end result in
the closing of schools in vast
areas of Virginia.
Nor does it reach the consti-
tutional issue which must be
resolved"
Senator Gray said he would
favor measures which will place
the full sovereign powers of the
State, its chief executive, the
General Assembly, and the prin-
ciples of our constitutional Sys-
TEN of government between the
individual counties and cities
and this Federal power-syStem
for the control and management
of the education of our children.
Il shall favor the vesting of
the power of the placing of pu-
pills in the hands of our chief
executive. I shall favor the en-
Iactment of legislation in Vir-
Iginia which will fall within the
latter and within the spirit of
the interposition resolution
adopted by the General Assem-
bly, of Virginia on February l.,
1856, to take all appropriate
measures honorably. legally and
Iconstitutionally available to us,
to resist this illegal encroach-
ment upon our sovereign pow
ers.'
Safeguard Against Indignation
Senator Gray said the most
fundamental safeguard from
massive and wholesale integra-
ton under the proposed
assignment plan lies in the pro-
posed procedure which an ag-
lgrieved parent would be required
to follow who objected to the
assignment of his child.
This procedure contemplates
a review by the school board, an
appeal to the Circuit Court, and
thereafter, an appeal to the Su-
preme Court of Appeals of Vir-
Iginia."
He cited the civil rights legis-
lation proposed at the last Con-
gress upon the vigorous rec
Iommendation of Attorney Gen.
eral Brownell" as endangering
this procedure.
These measures provide,
Iamong other things, that any
person who complains of de-
NAL OF his civil rights shall not
be required to exhaust the ad-
lministrative and judicial rene
dies provided for under State
law. but may immeditely have
recourse to the Federal courts. :"
Senator Gray's statement said
the proposed establishment of a
special civil rights branch of the
Department of Justice is sup
ported by the overwhelming ma
lJority of the Congress of the
United States. The only hope
Us that their enactment may be
delayed by the Southern mem
bers of the two branches of Con-
IgresS, he added.
Plan Entirely Futile
1T is apparent that the enact
ment of a program for the as
signment Of pupils upon a nom
racial basis, under such circum-
stances would be entirely futile. -
-. The assignment plan from
its inception has contemplated
some indignation in the public
schools in parts of Virginia. -
Gray said, adding:
This I did not approve but
at the time saw no means by
which it could be avoided in
some sections of Virginia and our
public schools preserved. 1t is
