THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES {. TRACEWELL

Temp Jones was looking at
the picture Of a fabulous new
raceway for trotting horses.
1t transported him imme-
diately 500 miles in space,
and many years in time, back
to his boyhood.
In those days, in his part
Of the State. the county fair
was big time. at least as far
as the residents were con-
cerned.
Sulky races we're the order
OF the day. There is a certain
something to this form of
racing not found in any
other.
Jones can still see the
man-and-horse team going
around.
In those days, the bicycle
had just come in.
Later 1t was to drop almost
out Of sight, then to stage a
comeback, as so many things
do: but then the bicycle was
new. and had all the impor-
lance the new thing had.
Young men on bicycles
wore small close fitting black
caps. and looked every inch
the dare devils they no doubt
thought themselves to be.
Twenty miles down the
pike from the big city-they
impressed an eight-year-old
boy as fascinating, indeed.
y y y
Another feature Of the fair
was tho hokey-pokey. 5 cents
q cake.
This was Ice cream made
with milk, no cream.
It went like the proven
bal hot cakes, and to this
day Templeton Jones re-
members, or thinks he recalls,
the taste.
Probably most Americans
today would be better of for
ice cream made from
SKINNED milk. but in those
days nobody had ever heard
Of a calorie. and fairness was
esteemed health. with most
people.
Probably the most fasci-
mating act on the fair
grounds was the breaking of
a large slab Of stone over the
head Of a kneeling man.
The destruction was
wrought by a giant Of q fell
low with a sledge hammer.
The slab cracked in two
to the plaudits Of the as
sembled multitude.
In later years. at this same
fair, there was to be q man
shot from q cannon, but
Jones does not remember
that. so 1t must have been
later.
II was the hokey-pokey
which stuck closest In his
memory, so that In later
years he tried to make It
for himself, but failed.

erner, has now made all
Southern Democrats suspect
in the minds of the Demo-
Gratis Of the North and
particularly in the minds Of
the Negro voters in great
pivotal States.
Gov. Collins Of Florida
opened the discussion Of
Southern presidential PROS
poets. A supporter Of Adlai
Stevenson in the most recent
national election. he insisted
that a Southern presidential
candidate. to succeed, must
accept the fact that the de-
cisions Of the Supreme Court
are the law Of the land, in
GLIDING the school desegre-
cation decision. Prevailing
sentiment Of the Nation. he
said, does not sanction vio-
lence, defiance and disorder.
and above all, it abhors
hate" And he added: 1.-THE
Southern leader who under
stands and accepts these
facts will flnd himself not
opposed to national senti-
ment, but in harmony with it.
He who does not might as
well stay at home"
Could Back johnson
Holding such views, Gov.
Collins and other Southern
ers could easily support Sem
ator johnson for the presi-
Dental nomination. In the
light of the Faubus upheaval
in Arkansas. however. it is
extremely doubtful that, by
1860. the Northern wing Of
the Democratic Party will 60
for Senator johnson or any
other Southerner. It could
take years longer. The DEM
ocrats did nominate another
Southerner for Vice President
In d956-Senator Estes Ke-
fauver Of Tennessee. But Ke-
fauver, who has twice been q
candidate for the presidential
nomination and probably will
make another try for such q
nomination, was nominated
for Vice President without the
votes Of the Southern dele
gates to his party's national
convention, and his own
State delegates only switched
to Kefauver when they had
to. Kefauver has had much
support in his past presi-
Dental campaigns In the
North and the West-and he
might have again. His prob
lem is to get the Southerners
to stand for him, too.
The denunciation Of Gov.
Faubus by the Northern and
Western leaders Of the DEM
ocratic Party also had q
reaction-particularly state
ments by National Chairman
Butler to the effect that the
South would have to accept
the dictation of the Northern
Democrats on migration.
The reaction was quick and
angry on the part Of many
Southern leaders. who in
some instances threatened q
third party.
The upshot Of the whole
Faubus incident has been.
therefore, a probable delay in
the political integration of the
South with the North and the
nomination of a Southern
presidential candidate.

Louis Arm strong, the
"Satchmo,' the trumpet am
bassador for the U. 8. A.,
sounded very big and very
brave in his insulting re-
marks about the President Of
U. S. A. and the governor Of
Arkansas.
Perhaps he should emigrate
to Russia and take out
citizenship papers over there
and then try to make such
venomous statements con-
corning the Russian govern
ment and its officials. How
long would it be before he
face a firing squad, or at best.

Perhaps "Satchmo" should
remember that 1t is only in
