When a new book is given front
page in a leading book review mag
azine, and its authors picture is
the fronts piece for leading
weekly when this same book is
the choice of leading book club
there must be something particu-
larly outstanding about that book.
Such is the case with by Love
Possessed" by Author James Gould
CoZZens.
The author does not write book
every year, it has been nine years
since his last novel. He does not
believe it possible to write well in
a hurry.
The novel tells of two days and
two hours in the life of Arthur
Winner, a lawyer We learn about
the lives of his clients, his secre-
tary, about their misdemeanors and
their problems, and about Arthur
Winners own life and his influence
on others.
The book is one of several recent
purchases by the West Jefferson
Public Library. Oh, yes we should
mention it is strictly adult reading.
Perhaps we do not realize how
much it means to the Western
Non-Communist world that Con-
rad Adenauer won reelection as
Chancellor of West Germany. in
the recent election day there.
Moscow tried very hard to pre-
vent this landslide for the Chris
tian Democratic Party.
Perhaps we do not realize that
this eighty-one-year-old man is one
of the great and important leaders
of our times, and that he is a firm
friend of the United States.
Perhaps we should be better in,
formed about such things, but we
are always in so much of a hurry.
Perhaps we should take time to
read the new authorized version,
the autobiography "Adenauer'' by
Paul Weynar which just came in
to the West Jefferson Public Lii
brary.

October"
October is here again in all its
beauty. The leaves are beginning
to turn red and gold. Fruit is ripe
ming on the trees and all the earth
looks as if Mother Nature was
dressing her in holiday clothes.
Most of us have watched a sun
set on a October evening when all
the sky was beauty-bright. Then
as we continue to gaze, twilight be-
gins to settle down against the
golden sunset, making a breath
taking sight.
Then our thought turn to the day
that has ended and we wonder il
we have done our best and if we
have pleased our God. Then as we
continue to mediate the title of q
song comes to us, This Is The Enc
OF A Perfect Day" and we are con.

est. or 57-month notes bearing
3%s per cent interest.
Mr.. Humphrey recently told the
Senate Finance Committee the
proffered interest rate was de-
signed to "teSt" the market. The
Treatury learned that the market
was even tougher than expected.
The subscription for the ST.
month notes bearing the 35s per
cent interest was only $647 million.
The 31a per cent one-year GER
tificates Jared better, with a SUBJ
scription of $2,351, 000, 900. This
still left slightly more than a bill
lion dollars that had to be paid
of in cash.
The Treasury didn't have suffi-
cient reserves in the till to pay of
the holders of the maturing notes
and still maintain a working bal
ance. It was forced to go again to
the short-term money market and
borrow SIS billion on 119-day
treasury bills bearing an average
annual interest rate of 1924 per
cent. Those bills will mature next
September and will have to be re-
financed. probably by another is
sue of short-term bills bearing a
still higher interest rate.
This is a sample OF the sort of
headache Mr.. Anderson is going
to get in his new job. The Treas

No New Russio'
But hopes in the West that the
triumph of Party Chief Khru-
shchev and his supporters over the
"old guard" Stalinists led by Molo-
tov will mean a new Russia are
probably unjustifled. There is
nothing in the history Of the So

records of the Khrushchev group,
to support the idea that any major
departure from the established
Communist techniques is in pros

own words, communism will be
dropped in Russia when a shrimp

Communism, however. like all
revolutionary movements, must
change as events make changes
necessary or expedient. The Reds

the populace to the point that.
eventually, the National Guard
was called in.
He was arrested and eventually
had three separate charges laid
against him. One-of sedition
and melting to riot-was tried in
a Tennessee court before a jury
and ended in Kasper's acquittal.
The second-of criminal con-
tempt Of a Federal court--re-
suited in Kasper's being sentenced
to a year in jail. The third charge
comes to trial tomorrow.
The present case came about
when the beleaguered school board,
unable to comply with the court
order to integrate, went before
Judge Taylor and said to him, in
effect. IF you want us to comply
with your order. kindly get John
Kasper of our backs"
Judge Taylor obliged. He en-
Joined Kasper and five others
named as ringleaders From fur
ther hindering, obstructing. or in
any wise interfering with the
carrying out of the order of this
court, or from picketing Clinton
High School, either by word or
act or otherwise" The judge went
one step further-he blanketed in
under the injunction in addition
to Kasper and the others, their
agents, servants. representatives,
attorneys and all other persons
who are acting or may act in con-
cert with them"
Thus, tomorrow, instead of six
defendants there will be 16. This
in itself is a controversial point.
Many observers have criticized
the injunction as "enjoining the
world at large" and have said
that its sweeping language will in
validate 1t as the case goes up the
legal ladder. To this attitude the
Department of Justice replies that
it is implicit in Federal law that
when a third party knowingly CO.
operates in the violation of an in
junction, that third party comes
under the terms Of the writ.
Jury Triol This Time
In Kasper's first contempt hear
Ing he was heard by Judge Taylor
without jury and was sentenced
to year in Jail. This time he will
get jury trial and will face
maximum Of six months if con-
victed. Why?
The first hearing was held under
a courts general power to punish
contempt-a power which has no
limitation. The second hearing is
being held under a section of the
Federal Code title 10, Section
402) which provides that when the
acts constituting the contempt are
also violative of criminal statutes,
the contemnor has the right to
trial by jury.
In this second case there are
allegations of breaches of such
State criminal statutes as assault,
battery and disturbance Of the
peace.
Probably the greatest interest
nationally will be focused on how
the jury reacts to the evidence it
hears. In recent congressional de-
bates on civil rights legislation,
Southerners demanded trial by
jury for accused contemnors,
while Northern Congressman con-

they insist the situation isn't as
black as it has been painted and
they list these accomplishments:
. The amount of debt held by
commercial banks-the dangerous
amount-was reduced by 81 bill
lion between December, 1852, and
December, 1856.
. The amount held by individuals
- the safest amount - in this
period increased by about SIS
billion.
. The total of the UNDERGONE
year marketable debt has been cut
from a high of nearly $50 billion
at the end Of 1853 to the present
SAT billion.
. In 1854 and 1855, when the de-
mand for money was considerably
less than it is now, about $40 bill
lion Of the debt was stretched out
into longer maturities.
But those are only partial solu-
tions.
The Senate Finance Committee,
promising a thorough investiga-
ton of the Nations fiscal problems
and policies, has had Mr.. Hum

same sort of grilling.

Ever since Chief Justice Earl
Warren wrote the 8-to-0 school
indignation opinion in 1854 there
has been q tendency to credit him
with q great and growing in
fiuence on the other justices Of
the Supreme Court.
In the wake Of the recent series
Of controversial civil rights and
security decisions in which the
Chief Justice sided with the
majority. there has been frequent
reference to the Warren Court"
In fact, one prominent national
publication last week asserted
that the court has now made
sharply clear how much it has
come to reflect Its Chief Justices
views"
Among students Of Supreme
Court history and among lawyers
acquainted with present members
Of the court, statements such as
the foregoing are taken with
large gram Oh bhlI.
Mr.. Warren, by virtue of his
once. ability. industry and per-
sonality doubtless has influence
with his fellow justices. But TO
suggest that he could succeed at
creating tame court acquiescent
TO his views-even II that were
his aims to lapse into fantasy.
At least, most experienced lawyers
seem to think It Is.
Here 10 an observation by one
well qualified TO comment:
Justices. as men Of mature years
and wide experience, undoubtedly
have their convictions, political
and economic. and their views Of
the nature and purpose Of our
Government; but they (are) not
the instruments Of political ma
nipulation or tools Of power. One
cannot study their lives and deci-
sions without confidence In their
sincerity and independence"

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.-The GRIM
inal contempt trial of John Kas-
per and Is others, which opens
here tomorrow, promises to be one
of the landmark cases in the
struggle over Indignation of public
schools in the South.
The case had its genesis even
before the Supreme Court ruled,
three years ago. that separate
but equal" was not a proper for
mula to be applied to education.
It was when representatives of'the
small Negro population of Ander-
son County, Tenn, went before
Federal District Judge Robert L.
Taylor here and pleaded for In
tegration of their children into
the white high school at Clinton.
Anderson County's chief city.
Judge Taylor rejected their suit,
citing the PlesSy D. Ferguson sep
arate but equal" decision of 1896,
which at the time was the law of
the land. The petitioners ap-
pealed to the Sixth Circuit Court
at Cincinnati.
Between the time Judge Taylor
handed down his decision and the
time the Circuit Court heard the
appeal, the Supreme Court re-
versed the Plessy case by holding.
in May. 1854, that separation was
in itself inequality. The Sixth
Circuit reversed Judge Taylor on
the basis of the new decision and
sent the matter back to the
Knoxville court for enforcement.
Judge Taylor thereupon en-
Joined the school board of An
derson County to integrate the
Clinton High School at the start
of the fall term of 1856.
Boord Tries to Comply
1t was obvious that the school
board members-indeed, the ma
jority of the white people of An
derson County-did not favor the
Federal Court ruling. But most
of them recognized that, like it
or not. they were stuck with it.
The board turned to the task Of
complying with Judge Taylor's
Injunction.
The school authorities attitude
was well summed up by D. j.
Britain. jr., principal of the
school. who once explained:
Il could obey the order of this
court or could disobey the order
OF this court and be subject to
any of its results, or could re-
sign my job. ;. did not believe
1t made any difference what man
was in that job. that he would
still be faced with the court order
and the same decision"
So late in August, 1856, Princi-
pal Britain opened the doors of
his high school for registration
Of new students. When registra-
ton closed, there were 791 white
and is Negro students on the rolls.
Whatever unquiet there was in
Clinton manifested itself in grum-
bling rather than in action.
This situation prevailed until
August rs, when a young man
named John Kasper came to town.
Kasper, Washingtonian who
identified himself as secretary of
the Seaboard Council of White
Citizens Councils, helped stir up
