Arlington

Meanwhile, at the extreme
northern edge Of Dixie, in Arling-
ton County. Va. school officials
faced an order from a Federal
judge to put into effect on Sep
TENDER % a long-standing order
to end school segregation.
Judge Albert v. Bryan held that
Virginia's pupil placement act was
too slow q procedure to offer rea-
sonable remedy to seven Negro
pupils who sought entrance and
were turned away at Arlington
schools earlier this month. The
placement act already had been
held invalid by two levels of Fed
eral courts and was awaiting q
final test before the Supreme
Court, which begins q new term
October z.
Judge Bryan's ruling yesterday,
in addition to being q defeat for
the Byrd organization massive
resistance" policy. was also q per-
sonal defeat for Attorney General
J. Lindsay Almond, jr., who is the
candidate Of the Byrd-controlled
Democratic Party for Governor Of
Virginia. Mr.. Almond had argued
that despite the placement acts
rough road in the courts, it was
still the law Of Virginia, and that
Judge Bryan should withhold any
order until the Supreme Court
passed upon the act.
Mr.. Almond and the Byrd or
ganization had a reason in hoping
to delay an order on the Airing
ton question until after the cleo
ton on November 5. Mr.. Almonds
Republican opponent, Ted Dalton,
has charged that massive resist
ance' could only result in mas
sive defeat"
Thus. it was reasoned. if any
Virginia schools integrate despite
massive resistance" it would APP
pear to many voters that Mr..
Dalton had correctly called the
play.

UnitedN0tions:

While the main event in the
cold war was taking place in the
Middle East, there was q lively
sideshow going on in New York.
There the General Assembly Of
the United Nations acted decisive
ly on q stern resolution to con-
denim the Soviet Union for its mil
ltary suppression of the Hungarian
revolt last autumn.
Led by Burma and India, q
small but vocal "neutralist" bloc
urged the Assembly to substitute
"deplore" for condemn, on the
grounds, as voiced by midas
Arthur Lall. that condemnation
would bring only "stiffening Of
attitudes"
But the original resolution,
backed by 81 nations after the

mite named to investigate the
Hungarian suppression, was easily
approved intact. 1t named Prince

Gov. Faubus appears. strangely
enough, to stand in the camp Of
the compliers, despite the fact
that he is this week the. darling
Of the noncompliers. He pointed
out on television last Sunday that
he sends his son to an integrated
college, and on q number Of oc-
casions in the last week he has
reafIirmed both his respect for
and his eventual intention TO COM

The Governors action in calling
out the National Guard at Little
Rock Central High School Sep
TENDER has been the subject Of
much criticism both within and
without Arkansas. It also has been
hailed as a proper precaution. The
Governors own motives in taking
this action are locked in his mind.
The point is that he has given the
noncompliers a new lease on life,
and for this they are grateful.
Gov. Faubus has been criticized

CPUSA::
Long Woit

Twenty-Five years ago an Amer.
lean Bolshevik told a shouting,
exuberant gathering of several
thousand Communists:
THE party of Marx and Lenin
will lead the oppressed workers
Of America away from the pov.
erty Of imperialist capitalism. We
shall lead them to a new dignity
founded upon the principles Of
socialism. We stand awaiting
ti'eir cry for freedom from their
letters. :"
At the time. in the depths of
the great depression, the words
Of William 2. Foster sounded more
like real threat than an ex-
travagant promise. Among his
audience were labor leaders, writ
ers. artists, professors and even a
few men of wealth plus, Of
course, frustrated, angry, hungry
men and women.
But last week, q re-reading Of
Mr.. Fosters words could only
point up their fanciful extrava-
gance.
Only 10000 Americans mere
handful Of rag-tag zealots and
incurable dupeS-were still await.
ing a cry for aid from the "op-
pressed workers" whose median
family income was nearly $4,000 q
year.
Those figures on the remnant
strength Of Marxist-Leninism in
the United States came from
Joseph Clark as he resigned from
his post as foreign editor of the
Daily Worker and babe his COM
rades Of % years adieu. Mr..
Clark said he was only one of the
1000 Communists to leave the
party in the past year and 10000
in the past decade.
He probably spoke for many Of
his detecting comrades when he
argued that American Commu-
nists should have stood in
solidarity with the HUNGARIAN
workers opposing Soviet interview
ton" last year. Mr.. Clark has
been a spokesman for those Reds
who prefer independence from
Kremlin dictation.
The Hungarian position was one
OF three taken by the party over
the years that resulted in wide
spread establishment among
American Communists and con-
tributed to its gradual defamation.
Similar exoduses resulted from
the party's refusal to support the
war against Germany in 1899, and
the confusing and contradictory
process Of Discrimination begun
in Moscow in February, 1856.
All that remains now Of the
party Of Marx and Lenin in
America is the handful Of pro-
soviets LED by Mr.. Foster.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK
|ntegration: Painful Progress

Three months ago. Arkansas
Gov. Orval Faubus told reporters
at q press conference in Little
Rock that everyone knows that
State laws can't supersede Fed
eral laws" Previously, Gov. Fau-
bus had indicated that he would
not interfere in Little Rocks plan
for gradual integration Of its pub
lie schools, as he had been re-
quested to do by the Capital Citi-
zens Council. The Little Rock
situation. he said then, was a
local problem"
These statements seemed in
keeping with the Governors as
serted position Of moderation In
racial matters. And that position
was consistent. as puzzled COM
mentators have pointed out for
the past two weeks. with his guber-
material victory last year over Jim
Johnston, an outspoken segrega-
ZIONIST. and his States notable
progress toward indignation in
schools. colleges, Libraries, trans
portation. medical societies. min
isterial associations and other
organizations.
Why. then, had Arkansas-and
not Georgia. Mississippi or Ala
bama-become the stage for
drama that. terribly reminiscent
Of 1861. has pitted State authority
against Federal authority? And
as for Gov. Faubus. was he really
the man Of moderation he had
seemed to be?
These questions, as well as to
the more important one--what
next in Little Rock?-were unan-
swered as the Governor sat down
yesterday morning to counsel
together" with President Eisen-
hover at the Presidents vacation
Office in Newport. R. I. When the
conference was over, the questions
remained. although q settlement
in Little Rock seemed closer.

New DenioIs

Whether the Gromyko blast
was responsible no one can say,
but Syria's leftist leaders on Fri
day, returning from q hasty con-
ference in Cairo with Egyptian
Dictator Canal Abdel Nasser,
took pains to again deny that
Communist influences had con-
troll Of the Damascus government.
Col. Abdel Hamid Serial, army
intelligence chief who has been
described as "Syria's Nasser," de-
clared the sole aim Of the regime
now in power was Arab ma
tionalism." II am not q Com
munist, and there is not one
single Communist officer in the
whole Syrian Army" said Col.
Serial, who made the flying trip
TO Cairo with Brig. Aft Bibry,
chief Of staff who ousted pro-
Western elements from the Da-
nascus government.

that the leaders Of the drive for
Arab nationalism, whatever their
immediate loyalties, were more
and more united in opposition to
any disruption Of the shaky struc-
ture Of such Arab unity as now
exists. (See stories by Ned

ct a can afford to wait, was
considering Withdrawing as q can
didate-the leading one-for the
general presidency Of the is.
million-member Transfers Union.
Mr.. Hoffa was ready. the reports
were. to pull out in order to pre-
serve Teamster afflliation with the
AFL-CIO.
But on Thursday, Mr.. Hoffa
scotched such talk-at least for
the present. Not only was he in
the race to the end. said he, but
he claimed that he already had
enough written pledges to assure
his election when the Transfers
convene at Miami Beach on Sep
tember 80.
Whether or not Mr.. Hoffas
confidence was justified remained
to be seen. Although he now had
opposition, which for some time
earlier this summer appeared UNI
likely to materialize. he still was
the leading candidate to succeed
the discredited Dave Beck. But
there were a number of imponder-
ables.
Inside the Transfers Union it.
self. the anti-Hoffa forces also
found reason for optimism. On
Tuesday Mr.. Hoffa and his three
rivals for the presidency made
their pitch for Endorsement from
Western Transfers locals. The
others were Thomas L. Hickey Of
New York. Representative John
Shelley, California Democrat and
a longtime member Of the union,
and Thomas j. Haggerty of Chi
cago.
Receiving their plea for support
was the executive board of the
Western Conference Of Transfers,
headed by Frank w. Brewster,
vice president of the union who,
like Mr.. Hoffa. has had his trou-
bles with Senate investigators.
Mr.. Brewster's executive board,
representing $4,000 teamsters,
decided to indorse pobody. thus
giving the anti-Hoffa forces
chance to bid for the support of
the Western Conferences 486 of
the 1924 delegates at the con-
vention in Miami Beach.
The action by the conference
also gave Mr. Hoffa's opponents
an opportunity to pool their
strength at the last crucial min
ute against him. If this occurs,
the election contest will be fought
hard down to the wire, with Mr..
Hickey probably emerging as Mr..
Hoffa's strongest opponent.
The 130.000-member Chicago
Joint Council will meet tomorrow
to decide whether or not to free
its delegates from an earlier COM
mitment to support Mr.. Hoffa.
Meanwhile, George F. Meany.
president Of the AFL-CIO, made
it plain that the Transfers would
not be permitted to remain in
the federation If Mr.. Hoffa be-
comes their president. Further
more. he indicated the Teamsters
also would be shown the door
even If they do no more than
re-elect Mr.. Hoffa to his present
post Of ninth vice president.
This. of course, was campaign
fodder for Mr.. Hoffa's opponents,
who are not unaware that expul-
sion from the AFL-CIO would
result in the setting up of a new
teamsters' union within the fed.

are almost no grounds for the
suggestion that such q struggle
exists. 1t is this reporters opin-
ion - based on conversations
with dozens Of Arkansans from
all walks Of life-that 80 per
cent Of the white people Of
Little Rock oppose the idea
Of sending their children TO
school with Negroes. Among the
white citizens Of the Arkansas
capital there is no "integrationist"
movement.
The battle lines are drawn,
rather. between the "compliers"
and "non-compliers." The former
take the attitude that migration,
while undesirable. is inevitable
and that the best should be made
Of a bad situation. The latter
group holds that no education at
all is better than integrated edu-
cation.
Some Bosic Foets
Before either sides viewpoint is
dismissed with a shrug or a sheer.
these two facts should be under
stood:
. The compliers are, by and
large, the better educated, better
paid, better placed people of the
town. Among many Of them the
question Of integrated education
is purely a philosophical one be-
cause they either have no chill
dren, send them to private
school or otherwise do not have
TO face the issue frontally.

A white child. hearing his par

When school opened September
8. Central High was slated for
integration Of about a dozen Ne
groes. No Negroes lived in the
Hall High district. so the issue
did not arise there. One leading
Little Rock citizen told this re-
porter that the Hall High district
is so carefully gerrymandered that
it probably will be Is years before
any Negro qualities for attend
ance. The integration problem
will be solved-if it is ever solved
downtown.
Inasmuch as the members OF the
school board participated in the
decision to build Hall High, they
are obliged to share-with the
Governor, the business and finan-
cial leaders. the NAACP, the red
necks and the rest-blame for
what happened last week at Four
teenCn street and Park avenue.
And what Of the Mayor, who
criticized the Governors action?
On only one topic in Little Rock
today can one find almost univer-
sal agreement. That is that Mayor
Woodrow Wilson Mann is washed
up and that no one would pay
any attention to him under any
circumstances. There are complex
reasons for this, but his low es-
tate is a matter of fact.
