in a few decades from tubercu-
loSis. Booker T. Washington had
to try to allay the fears in the
south and in the nation general
ly that education would spoil
the Negro completely for any
useful purposes. Editors both
north and south predicted that
the victory Of a Negro heavy
weight fighter over a white
champion would cause such ar
rogance among Negroes and
such resentment among whites,
that there would be race riots
all over the nation. President
Eisenhower was evidently con-
cerned that the social expert
fnent" of integration in the arm
ed services would reduce the
effectiveness of the American
military offence. More recently
(only eleven years ago. Com
missioner Of Minor League Base
ball, w. G.. Bramham, at Dur
ham, NC. said regarding Jackie
Robinson's proposed entry into
organized baseball, "The general
impression in this city is that
the Negro player will be so un-
comfortable, embarrassed and
out of place that he will soon
get out of his own accord"
And Alvin Gardner, president,
of the Texas League, said, Il am
positive you'll never see any Ne
gro players on any Of the teams
in organized baseball in the
south as long as Jim Grow laws
are in force" If you just live
long enough none Of these great
"racial crises" in America seem
so critical. The steady advance
of the American Negro toward
full American citizenship con-
tinues, because American demo-
cracy and hard headed realism

THE POISED AXE

Ever-increaSing wage demands
upon American business, made
by the unions and backed up by
their monopoly power and pune
tuated with strikes or threats Of
strikes, are like an axe held over
the head of our economy.
The union leaders dictate
they do not bargain, they die
tate-wages, hours, and working
conditions in most of our major
industries. They impose their
will on employers, employees,
and the public alike.
If employers could grant high
er wages each year, and without
raising the prices of their pro-
ducts, that would be one thing.
But how long would they be able
to stay in buSineSs-and how
long would their employees have
Jobs? There's an old fable-but

ent opinions regarding the deci-
sion of the Supreme court on
integration. We know that the
editor of the Arizona Republic
seems to regard the decision as
an unwarranted and dangerous,
perhaps illegal infringement up
on states rights. On the other
hand, Ralph McGill, editor OF
the Atlanta Constitution, has a
different opinion. Mr.. McGill
was former sports editor on
the Constitutions staff, who, be-
cause of evident early promise
as a realistic southern inter-
prefer of the news, was Scaect-
ted by the General Education
Board for an unusual training
experience and in time, became
the editor of this old and en-
fluential very southern news
paper. Editor McGill expressed
himself recently in this manner
before an Emory University
(Atlanta) lecture forum: The
people of the south "have been
sold a phony bill of goods by
those who say integration will
m an amalgamation of the
races. He labeled such beliefs
as "an insult to both races that
only segregation "is keeping
them from running to the mar
riage courts" He noted that des-
pite the tremendous outburStS
against the 18th Amendment by
southern politicians, 'it's still
there and it's valid.n Mr.. NC
Gill stated to the forum in this
southern white University that
eve should not deceive our
selves that the Amendment will
be taken out" and warned that
most of us wouldn't want 1t
taken out" and he emphatically
insisted that we ought not to
listen to the people who say
the Supreme Court has violated
the Constitution it can't be-
cause the Supreme Court was
created to interpret the Consti-
tuition"
Neither of these editors has
lived as long as I. have seen
the nation expecting doom on
several occasions. There were
those who at one time predicted
with great hopefulneSs that the

WASHINGTON. - The deter
mined effort by the Eisenhower
Administration to hold govern
ment spending to $40 billion dur
ing the next fiscal year definite
ly brightens the prospect for tax
reduction.
Admittedly, there are num-
ber of "ifs" involved. But tax
cut advocates point out that a
reduction would still be possible
even if the Administration does
not completely reach its objec-
tive.
A $40 billion spending pro-
gram for next year (the fiscal
year beginning next July u
would be So billion under the
amount the Administration ex-
poets to spend during this fiscal
year.
However, the normal growth
of the economy should increase
by at least So billion each year
the amount of tax revenue re-
ceived by the government.
So, assuming normal economic
growth, taxes could be lowered
and the government still would
receive sufficient revenue to
meet it's needs.
This is the basis Of legislation
now pending in Congress which
was introduced by Representa-
tives Sadlak (R-Conn.) and Her
long (D-Fla.). Their proposal
would lower personal and cor
poration income taxes to a max
imum of ~ per- cent by a series
Of annual reductions spread
