Senator Ervin's reference to

however, the nine justices did
not point to any fallacy or
mistake in the legal reason
ing Of the Justices who wrote
the 1896 decision but merely
said, in effect. that sociology
cal considerations now justify
a reversal. The controlling
argument presented was that
colored children feel psy-
chologically inferior when
separated from whites in the
school years.
Unfortunately, this is not
too firm ground. even for the
beneficiaries of the decision.
They cannot be too sure that
they have won something per-
manently. For. some day in
the future. another set Of
Supreme Court justices may be
persuaded to believe that
forced association" or the
mixture Of the two races in
the schools has an injurious
effect psychologically on the
children of both races. and
hence it would be proper to
revert to the separate but
equal" arrangement. This is
one of the risks involved in
decisions based solely on
sociological grounds.
Why should there be. how
ever, public demonstrations
about Supreme Court decis-
ions? Perhaps it is because of
a widespread belief today that
the courts are really influenced
by public opinion more than
by the letter of the law.
Ever since 1887, when the
late President Franklin D.
Roosevelt publicly denounced
the majority of the justices of
the Supreme Court for their
decisions and requested Con-

Now when they are asked

Senator Erwin, Democrat of

trial denials by George III and

next Tuesday will vote on
whether to clear the bill for
House action.
Besides recalling that the
Stamp Act and other statutes de-
prived pre-Revolution colonists
of Jury trials. Senator Erwin went
back still farther into history.
THE so-called liberals who
support the civil rights bill are

they are trying to deny people

The flaw in this thinking was
not merely that Democrats

a conservative coalition Of
Democrats and Republicans is
the real operating arm Of Con-

long series of milk runs during
his first term because he ac-

decisions and advanced no new

It was reasonable of the
Presidents advisers to look for

appealing program to rebuild
the Republican Party. But
having operated so long on the
strength Of Eisenhower popu-

are still searching for two
white men who kidnapped and
seXually attacked 18-year-old
Albert Pendleton. The teen
ager told officers he was
walking along 18th st. near
Fourth Ave-, close to 1870
one night recently when a car
occupied by two white men
pulled up at a stop.
Pendleton said one of the
men pointed a gun at him
and said "get in the car"
He said the men drove to
a secluded spot a short dis
lance from Coleman Lake, and
there attacked him seXually,
cut nm with a knife and beat
him with a hose.
The teen-ager said he broke
away from his captors, came
back to Bessemer where he
reported the attack to the
sheriff's office, and later was
treated and dismissed from
Doctors Hospital.
An investigation of the
case is being handled by cut
off Deputies S. E. Walker

Coast will become the home

as future representatives Of

pointed out that psychologist
ally it was important that he
as the real head of the govern

should have his residence and

where for decades the coun-

Christiansburg Castle is
historically important as far
as this country and as far
as Negroes in, the western
hemisphere are concerned. 1t
was built by the Danes of
Denmark in the 10Th century
where Denmark had a stake
in Africa and controlled part
of the Gold Coast. They and
Portugal, Spain and the Dutch
alternately held it and used
it as a fort to house their
armed forces and their traders
who ventured down to Africa
to trade for gold.
Finally the castle became
a headquarters for housing
African slaves before they
were shipped away to Ameri-
ca. Even today the dungeons
remain in the second base
ment of the castle, a grim
reminder to visitors and
sightseers of the terrible
traffic in human slaves.
It's a far cry from the days
when black people entered
those dungeons as slaves to
the emergence Of a black man
as ruler of the nation with
the servants and soldiers
representing the emergence
of Africans.
