New Note in Virginia

II we read his remarks correctly,
Lindsay Almond, the Democratic candi-
date for Governor of Virginia, Is try
ing to divorce himself from Governor
Stanley's policy Of mo Indignation any
where"
Mr.. Almond, in his remarks to an
Arlington County political rally, did not
say that he favors some indignation
somewhere. He undoubtedly is opposed
to any indignation, and he would pre-
venh 1t If he could. But he is also sem
sible man. and he must know that the
so-called Stanley program Is unavoidable
and that to adhere to it can lead only
to the destruction Of the States public
school system.
In his Arlington remarks, Mr.. Al
mond made two significant statements.
In one he said: THE term massive re-
sistance' has been used. interpret this
to mean the extent to which public
opinion is united in a course of action
to maintain our public school system on
separate and equal basis" Whatever
this Interpretation may mean, and we
do not think 1t means much Of anything,
It certainly does not commit Mr.. Almond
to a policy Of massive resistance" as
that term has been used in the past.
His second statement was more spe-
cific and more meaningful. This is what
he said: Il pledge the resources Of the
State Of Virginia to the end that no
child shall be forced to attend a mixed
school against the will of its parents,
and pledge the resources Of the state, to
the extent that it Is within the Execu-
tive's right to do so, to see that such
children are educated."
This statement clearly anticipates
that there viii be come mixed schools"
In Virginia. and Mr.. Almond is not TAX
ing any bitter-end stand in opposition
to them. What he is saying is that he
faYors a course similar to that advocated
In the original recommendations of the
Gray Commission. AS we interpret his
comment, the question of migrating or
not migrating would be left to the
authorities at the local level II given
school is integrated, no child would be
compelled to attend that school. He
might be assigned to an all-white school,
and, If there is none available, the State
would undertake to assist with tuition
payments for private schooling.
Mr.. Almond, Of course, did not spell
out all Of this. We believe, however,
that 1t is what he has in mind. II so,
1t is a step forward, for it is program
which offers some promise of success
Arlington County is faced right now
with. the threat of court order for
what would amount to immediate inte-
grafton. When this order comes, as 1t
surely will, the local authorities will be
powerless, under State law, to comply
with 1t. We do not pretend to know
what they will do. But we are confident
that Arlington would be incomparably
better on If 1t could fall back on pro-
gram similar to what which Is implicit
in Mr.. Almonds remarks.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Arkons0s Issue Hurts Democrats
BY GOULD LINCOLN

ment Of which Is hostile to
civil rights for the Negroes.
Decidedly Gov. Faubus' course
in using force to halt school
integration. though hailed by
some Of his Southern Demo-
cratic colleagues, is giving
pain to Northern Democrats,
like Senator Douglas Of Illi-
nois and Senator Humphrey
Of Minnesota. Representative
Celler Of New York and nu.
merous others.
De m ocratic National
Chairman Paul M. Butler has
hedged on the question Of
whether he believes the Fau-
bus-Arkansas upheaval will
hurt his party in the North
and West. He wants. he says,
to know all the facts before
committing himself. It seems
pretty clear. however, that If
this resistance Of Gov. Fau-
bus. cheered by Cows. TIM
norman Of South Carolina
and Grimm Of Georgia. to the
courts and the Federal Gov
erpment continues, it viii be-
come evident to Butler as well
as to others that the incident
Is doing his party no good.
May Bring Stronger Bill
Furthermore, the attitude
Of Gov. Faubus toward a
very mild ten-year pro-
gram Of school indignation,
initiated by the Little Rock
School Board itself and not
by the Federal authorities. is
likely to bring increased de-
mands for stronger civil
rights legislation when Con-
gress returns to Washington
next January. The coming
session Of Congress will run
right up to the beginning
Of the congressional and GU
bernatorial campaigns, giving
opportunity for extensive de-
bate. Elf not action, on this
issue. 1t may be thrust,
therefore. into the campaign
in no uncertain manner. The
Democrats had hoped they
could avoid this issue in large
measure.
Senator Knowland Of Cali
fornia. Republican leader Of
the Senate. has made the
point that Gov. Faubus'
action only plays into the
hands Of the Communists,
who will use the Governors
use Of force to prevent Negro
children from entering the
Little Rock High School as
propaganda (a) to show
there is no real freedom in
this country and (b) to prove
that the United States is no
real friend to the colored
peoples Of the world.
The stand taken by the
Arkansas Governor presents
to the President and his adj
ministration a most ticklish
problem. If Gov. Faubus can
get away with what he is ap-
parently trying to do, the
prospects Of any school in
tegration in some Of the other
Southern States, as well as
In Arkansas. seem mighty
slim.

A story IN another local
paper about a young page
In the Senate stated that he
was the youngest page ever
appointed and. therefore the
youngest employee Of Uncle
Sam. This is not true. That

to my son, Earl Lee Morton,
aged 10 years and 2 months.
Your paper carried that story

1t was 1891, during the de-
preston. We had lost every

Senate and started him back
in public school.
When the war came he
was drafted and placed in
the Medical Corps. He served
with Gen. Patton's Army
from the Battle Of the Bulge
to the end. He received a

for Greece

According to a Star cor
respondent in Turkey, Pre-
mier Menderes and other
Turkish officials are busy ex-
planning to the world why
Turkey would not agree to q
reasonable and democratic
solution Of the vexatious dis
pute over Cyprus. In glib
tones. they voice their dis
trust Of everything Greek.
Fear, deep, irrational, mag
mary fear. seems to underlie
their every thought and ac-
ton. Fear Of Greek expan-
sionist designs, fear for the
future Of the Turkish Cypri-
ote minority. fear Of Greek
political instability. fear for
the security Of the mainland,
all these fears, generously
sprinkled with insinuations
Of Communist intrigue, are
woven into q pattern OF
gloom from which there is
apparently no escape but
through partition Of the is
land.
Yet, the two main conten-
tons Of the Turkish argu-
ment are not borne out by
facts. Turkish minorities in
Greek Thrace and on the
Island Of Rhodes live peace
fully and contentedly by the
side Of the Greek majority.
They have their own schools.
their own free newspapers,
their own places of worship
and participate fully in. the
political life Of the country
on both the national and the
municipal or communal lev
els. What Is more. they have
never been subjected in
Greece to any discrimination
or persecution in any shape
or form--a distinction that
cannot be claimed by others.
As to the charge Of po-
litical instability in Greece,
which is usually coupled with
ominous prophecies of future
Communist ascendancy, suf-
flee 1t to say that Greece is,
beyond any doubt. a truly
democratic country where
political controversy is re-
garded as normal and, in
deed, healthful. Her record of
opposition to communism is
unsurpassed By any other
country. 1t was In Greece
that international commu-
nism suffered its first and, to
my knowledge. its only mill
tary defeat, at the cost Of
some 10000 Greek casualties.
but without the loss Of q
single American life. Greece
was among the first to send
troops to Korea to join in
the struggle against the same
enemy, who once more was
probing the defenses Of the
free world. Actually. the
Turks owe Greece q lasting
debt Of gratitude. For. were
1t not for Greek resistance
to communism. Turkey
would have been completely
cut on from the West.
Is it too much to hope

change in the Middle East.

n utCic more IMAM q week
ago Democrats in Congress
left here breathing signs Of
relief over the fact q knock
down-dragout fight within
Democratic ranks over the
civil rights bill had been
avoided. Some Of the Demo-
cratic leaders were taking
credit for the passage Of the
first civil rights measure since
Reconstruction days and
pointing to the fact that 1t
had happened in . Demo-
cratic : controlled Congress.
They believed that any po-
litical gains for the Republic
can Party over the civil rights
issue had been held to O mini
mum. And then the Little
Rock school Indignation case
and Democratic Governor
Orval Faubus-blew up in
their faces.
Headlined in the news
papers across the country as
an attempt by the use of
force to prevent school inte-
grafton and as q defiance Of
the courts and the Govern
ment Of the United States.
Gov. Faubus' action could
have disastrous political
results for the Democratic
Party. This is one kind of
thing that the Negro voters
will have no difficulty recog-
nizing as q deliberate attempt
by q Democratic State Cover
nor to deny Negro school
children the rights which the
Supreme Court has said are
theirs. 1t may become a
potent issue in the coming
elections Of 1858 Of a new
Congress and Of Governors
Of important States in the
North. where the Negro vote
can easily become the balance
of power. Indeed, it could
have a direct effect on the
election next November for
a Governor Of New Jersey,
which the Democrats have
been encouraged to believe
they can win. II the Demo-
cratic victory in the recent
Wisconsin senatorial election
was discouraging to the Re-
publicans. this Faubus stand
in Arkansas may become
equally or even more discour-
aging to Democratic hopes.

His brow was severe, his

Jones hesitated to ask him

After all, when a man has
