When Mr.. Eisenhower says
that the Federal troops are
necessary to enforce the law
(integration) he should cite
the appropriate United States
statute. duly enacted by Con-
gress. He cannot do so. Even
II there were such q law on
the statute books. the Presi- :
dent could constitutionally
use Federal troops to compel
enforcement in peacetime
only when invited by the
Governor Of the affected
State to do so. :

disagrees with the opinion Of

A suggestion for those
areas where racial integra-
ton Of the schools presents
special problems Is, simply. to
integrate the races but To
separate the sexes. colored
boys and white boys would
attend one school and, con-
versely, white girls and col
ored girls would attend an
other. This would be the
practice at all grade levels
Maintaining separate schools
on the basis Of sex would be
no more costly than separate
schools on the basis Of color,
