New Boss
For USIA

The troubled United States In
formation Agency. which has had
considerable difficulty in pleasing
Congress, got a new director last
week who may be able 10 turn
the trick.
The new boss is George v,
Allen, battle-scarred veteran
diplomat who, in addition to hav-
ing served as director for the
Voice Of America and Assistant
Secretary of State. has handled
assignments in Yugoslavia, Russia,
Greece, Iran. India. Egypt and
elsewhere. Mr.. Allen will need to
call upon this experience to deal
with the question that has vexed
USIA since its inception: The
role OF propaganda agency in
relation TO the formation and
carrying out of foreign policy.
Having served under both Dem
ocratic and Republican admin
istrations, Mr.. Allen also may be
able to establish a better rapport
with Congress than did his prede-
cessor, Arthur Larson. known as
the theoretician Of Eisenhower
Republicanism.
Mr.. Larson. soon after taking
over USIA, ran into trouble with

YRcVLAS STRANGE CAMPAIGN
Completely of Race Issue Is Rough on Voters

the placement act furnishes no
adequate remedy to the Negroes
because Of the fixed and definite
policy of the school authorities
with respect to segregation" and
because Of the other laws which
provide for the closing Of schools
and withdrawal therefrom Of
State funds upon any departure
from this policy in any school"
An appeal from that decision
is before the Supreme Court at
its current session. II the high
court refuses a review. Virginia's
placement law will be rendered
useless.
A more specific test of the place.
ment law has arisen in Arlington,
where seven Negro students APP
Piled to enter white schools, re-
fusing to use the placement law.
On September IA. Judge Bryan
ordered Arlington to admit the
seven Negroes to the schools OF
their choice and agreed that they
should not be compelled TO use
the placement law. His order has
been suspended pending an APP
peal. Like his original edict. II
contains some pointed remarks
about complying with the Supreme
Court decree.
Judge Bryan recalled that in
his first Arlington decree. he made
allowance for existing and future
State and local rules for assign
ment OF children to public schools,
he said;
"Of course. the decree only con-
tcmplated reasonable regulations
and remedies. Defendants posi-
ton that the pupil placement act
is such a regulation or remedy is
untenable. The procedure there
prescribed is too sluggish and
prolix to constitute a reasonable
remedial process,
From these decisions, 1t is APP
parent that the Federal Courts
have not ordered mass indignation
with or without an assignment
law. What they have said is that
no student can be denied admis-
sion to a school because OF race.
and any students who are turned
away for this reason may come
straight into Federal Court to
seek their rights.
The courts apparently are will
ing to recognize some admins
trative arrangement for placing
students in schools either at
the State or local level - as long
as race is not a factor in making
those placements.
Thus the indignation issue is a
complex one, but 1t is one that
many voters will want to UNDER
stand before making their de-
cisions on November 3.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-10-20

nowhere appears that they have
exhausted their remedies under
the North Carolina pupil enroll
ment act and are not entitled to
the relief they seek until these
administrative remedies have been
completed"
As to the assignment act it
self, Judge Parker wrote: I'VE can
not hold that the act is unconsti-
tutional upon its face. and the
question as to whether 1t has been
unconstitutionally applied is not
before us. as the administrative
remedy 1t provides has not been
invoked"
In the same opinion. however.
the appellate court held that any
Negro child denied admission to
q white school because Of race
could go straight into Federal
Court to challenge the action, in
stead of proceeding through the
State courts as originally provided
in North Carolina law.
The Supreme Court subsequent
ly refused to review the North
Carolina case. and that States
assignment law is still function
ing.
Virginia took heart temporarily
in the North Carolina decree. It
came while constitutionality Of
Virginia's own pupil placement
law was being debated In Norfolk
and Newport News degeneration
cases. The State insisted the Vir-
ginia placement law. like North
Cardinals, was a valid administra-
tive procedure. Negroes argued
IL was part Of an unconstitutional
scheme TO flout the Supreme
Court decree.
On January IL. 1857. Judge
Walter Hoffman ruled in the Nor
folk and Newport News cases that
Virginia's placement law was "un-
constitutional on It's face"
The North Carolina decree was
In effect then, but Judge Hoffman
noted that North Carolina did not
have automatic fund cutoff and
school closing laws like Virginia.
Also, said Judge Hoffman. 1.-The
cumbersome procedure approved
by the Legislature falls far short
OF meeting the test OF an adequate
administrative remedy"
A Devastating Blow
Some OF the most heated de-
bates in the gubernatorial cam
paign have swirled around this de-
cision. 1t is the most devastating
blow dealt the States anti-inte-
grafton program 10 date.
The Fourth Circuit Court Of
Appeals on July 13 last upheld
Judge Hoffman, commenting that
