WuOb OWS VII
Give up, South! II you
ever entertained false notions
about maintaining your way
OF life as guaranteed under
that quaint old document
called the Constitution, you
must have been rudely awak-
ened by the recent develop
ments at Budapest, Arkan-
sas. The pattern is now OBJ
vious.
All your State laws to pre-
vent indignation will be struck
down by Earl Warren and
Company. The NAACP will
move Negro children into
your white schools. If your
people react-even vocally-
they will be thrown into Jail.
II your Governors call out
the Guard. they will be hailed
into court. the Guard will be
federalized and regular troops
will be moved in TO make sure
the mixing is accomplished.
II your people try to organ
lie, they will be assassinated
by the national press and
broadcast networks, and Mr..
Brownell will send his sleuths
down to sniff out evidence, to
question, wiretap and intimi-
date. II the people boycott
the schools. no doubt Warren.
Inc. will pass a law making
1t illegal. II you set up pri-
vate schools. the courts will
rule them unlawful. If you
abolish education altogether.
the Federal Government will
move in and set up schools
OF its own. built and operated
with your money and filled
with your children white
and black. side by side,
whether you like it or not.
And If you secede, you will
be smashed into submission
by the armed might Of de
mocracy." while the Thad-
deus Stevens element in Com
gress fixes it So you can never
again rule your own local af-
fairs The second Reconstruct
ton. which has already be-
gun. will make the first one
look like a picnic.
So you better give up now.
South. and save yourself all
this humiliation, pain and
bloodShed.

Many thanks to William
Hines for his Impressions OF
a Mob; Every One Suffers
When Hate Runs Wild" His
account Of Little Rocks
trouble touches every one of
Americas citizens-the con-
cerned and the unconcerned:
the deSpisers and the de-
spised. Each Of us bears the
wounds of his battle. And
each one Of us, whatever his
stand. holds his opinions and
reasons sacred.
Mr.. Hines penetrating
look into the heart OF the
matter reveals that whether
we are among those who fight
at the scene or those who
read about it from a safe
vantage point. we are all
chained by the extreme lone
Illness OF humans in conflict
with one another. May God
nave mercy on us.

What an appalling. pitt
ful. tragic spectacle!
The Supreme Court has
been rapidly and savagely
torturing the Constitution to
death. but apparently Presi-
dent Eisenhower was too inn
patient-or too humane-to
watch the dreary. agonizing
struggle any longer and thus
saw fit to deal the final death
blow. Or perhaps he was per-
suaded that If he waited too
long the people Of the United
States might remember that
1t was I'VE. the people"-not
the Supreme Court or the
United Nations or Swedish
Socialist Gunnar Myrdal-
who ordained and estab-
lished" the law OF the land
the Constitution OF the
United States OF America.
AS usual. the press is cit
ing an effect as a cause.
Newspapers. radio and tele-
vision are again blaming in
tegratlon disorders on "agi-
tators." extremists and
known seRregationists" Cas
though scpreRationists be-
longcd to some secret order
instead of representing the
huge majority OF people in
the area. Gov. Faubus is
not responsible for the Little
Rock trouble. Certain agi-
tators' did not stir up the
people. John Kasper and
Others like him are no more
responsible for the demon
