colors, creeds and sizes of pocket
books. One might wonder why
the boys parents didn't go to
see the principal about the boys
problem. It is not difficult, how
ever, to understand why they
didn't. In the first place, Negro
parents have been urged by all
the organizations to get along
these first difficult years with
out making much trouble over
the things that happen and get
ting branded as trouble max
erS: this may even have been
overdone. Also most of them
feel that it will be a needless
waste of time and effort to pro-
test against suspension Of the
boy who really has mauled a
white boy.
I felt like saying, Boy, why
don't you go and see the super
intendent? But I know: l. that
he doesn't know that he has a
story to tell the superintendent.
It is true that he did maui the
other boy. 2. That adniniStra-
tors rules are sacred and carry
ing them out is also sacred. B.
That he probably wouldn't get
to see the superintendent. See
ing a busy school superinten--
dent is a frustrating chore for
and adult.
AS a matter Of fact, the boys
have acted exactly the way boys
are expected to behave under
such circumstances and the way
boys will continue to behave in
Phoenix schools unless we grown
people realize that the purpose
of education is to modify be-
havior, and punishment, as a
sacred promised procedure writ
ten into a rule, can't substitute
for an administrator who is not
afraid, in interracial cases to
realize that the boy who "strik-
es the first blow" may be the
boy who called the insulting
name, and that both boys are
already the victims of commun-
ity habits of thinking.

Mr. r. "A. 6OyO, OA.
3OO3 w. Madison Street
Phoenix, Arizona
Dear Mr.. Boyd:
Thank you very much for your
letter of May 20, 1857 and al
though 1 offered an amend
ment to- the Civil Rights Bill,
which would have been a rec
ognition by Congress that the
Right to Work was civil right,
my amendment is not now be-
ing considered by the Senate
Judiciary Committee. Senator
John Mcclellan of Arkansas has
offered an amendment to the
Bill, which is a true Right TO
Work Law and which goes much
further than my amendment.
The Judiciary Committee is ex-
pected to vote on this measure
either today or tomorrow, how
ever, it is impossible for me to
predict what form it might take
by the time it reaches the Floor
of the Senate.
I assure you I do not wish in
any way to jeopardize the Civil
Rights Bill, however, I do feel
that the Right to Work is one
of the highest civil rights that
we possess and I would like to
see the Congress face up to this
issue. The bill is, as presently
written, nothing more than a
right to vote bill.
Sincerely,
Barry Goldwater.

Last week i was Wd4A4A1S AAVO
EaStlake Park about 11:OO am.
and passed two boys sitting on
the grass in the shade. The
school principal in me immedi-
ately took over. why aren't you
boys in school?" I asked the
older boy. There was some hes
itation but the boys seemed to
sense that I was a friend and
the older boy admitted that he
had been kicked out" of high
school for fighting. Why was
he fighting? He had struck a
white boy who had called him
a damned black niger.
Evidently no one had decided
that this wasn't just q fight. 1t
was two boys getting adjusted
to school together in a commun-
ity where the existing commun-
ity attitude to which one has
been exposed has taught him
that for the slightest annoy
ance, intentional or not, he may
say any insulting thing to a Ne
gro. The Negro boy has been
taught that he can, with his
fists. neutralize the insults of
white boys who call him insult
ing names. If he doesn't resent
insults, he insults himself by
being chicken. Mother and
father have told him that, if he
takes such insults, they will in
suit his back with a stick.
SO here he is in the park at
11:OO am. while exams for the
second semester are being given
at school and he is losing his
entire semester credit. He Is
waiting to see a fellow who has
promised him a job. His friend,
a boy two classes below him,
so admires what his older friend
has done that he is out Of school
with him also looking for a job.
Two boys join the school leav-
ers" and become statistics. I
don't know what happened to
the other boy. Perhaps he Is also
a statistic. At any rate, the
schools rule on fighting has
been sacredly carried out to the
satisfaction of the adminiStra-
ton. but neither boy has learn

Second, it is not merely a local

Third, the fight for public
ownership is so ruthless that
the power of Congress has been
invoked to bring it about.
LEGISLATION UP SOON - The
issue is scheduled to come be-

calendar is bill authorizing con-
struction of a federal hydro

minority points out that valid

develop the power-at its own
expense.
The Senate rejected federal

 Rainstorm Dumps Record 29 Inches

TOKYO, R-A violent storm which in 24 hours dumped 29 inches of rain on low-lying, thick ly populated areas of Japan's southernmost major island left at least 280 persons dead today and more than 800 missing or unac- counted for.
 There were 1O9 known injured. Some said casualties may run to thousands.
 Tokyo newspaper correspon- dents radioed from the flood area on Kyushu Island that at 1000 persons died in the city of Isaha va, IS miles northeast of Naga- saki, and that scores may have perished in Omura, a port a few miles away.
 A reporter who flew over the area said Isahaya, a mountain rlnged city of 57,OOO, looked Hike a new sea" with only a few high points and roofs visible above the water.
 Railroads were washed out or blocked by landslides. Highways were closed. Thousands of homes were washed away or flooded.
 The 29-inch rainfall was one of the worst in Japan's recorded weather. The rain and accom- panying violent lightning disrup- ted communications and left many areas isolated except for intermittent radio contact.

Eisenhower
 Disappointed at School Bill Defeat

WASHINGTON, R-The White House said today President Eisen- hover is greatly disappointed that the House failed to pass a school aid bill.
 The House yesterday killed a SIP billion school aid bill about which Eisenhower himself had expressed some misgivings.
 Eisenhower had said before the vote that he was not fully satis- fled with the compromise bill but would accept it. The measure, de- feated by 208-2O3, differed Da sev- eral major respects from an Ad- minstration bill which would have provided s1,2OO, 1000, ,0Oo in school construction aid to the. states.
 The House sealed the measures doom earlier by attaching an anti segregation amendment offered by Rep. Wainwright (R-NY). This came by 136-105 standing vote. Ii would have denied the pro- posed federal aid to any school district with segregated schools in violation of the Supreme Court integration ruling.

words of one survivor at Isahaya:
 Suddenly an angry bolt of lightning cut the sky. Pounding thunder followed Then the rains came. Not just by buckets full. It seemed like someone had dumped the contents of lake on us from a giant barrel"
 As the rain increased, flood waters began pouring thru Isaha- va, and Yasujiro Tachikawa said he watched "the dim outlines of broken houses and buses drifting by like a procession of ghosts"
 Chikara Imasato, 25, the first evacuee brought to Nagasaki, said: q lived thru hell the flood reached the ceilings of my house in a few moments. Cascad- ing rain mingled with deafening thunder and the screams of the dying. I don't know how I man aged to swim in the swirling waters"
 Twenty-year-old Miss Yoko Ko- mori was picked up by fisher man clinging to a piece of lumber at sea 15 miles from shore

TOKYO, R-A US. Air Force commander yesterday threw out the conviction of an airman who refused to get ''white sidewall" haircut and freed him from sem tence of four months at hard labor, a $2OO fine and reduction to private.
 The airman, 2O-year-old Donald Wheeler of Cortez, Colo, was convicted of. disobeying an order. He claimed he had only "chal- lenged" it and said yesterday if given the order again "I'd prob ably refuse it . or I'd challenge it it would not be a legal order"
 As for future haircuts, an Air Force officer said there's no long CT any requirement on ''white sidewalks" prescribed for the Far East Command honor guard of which Wheeler was a member because the unit has been dis banded. A white sidewall" strips the head bare to the crown.
 Col. Charles w. Johnstone of Reno, New, Wheeler3s base com mander, tossed out the conviction, saying he had found legal pro- cedural errors in the summary

 Wheeler was released from the stockade where he had been con- fined since Monday night. He was restored to his rank of airman 3rd class.
 A public Information officer said Johnstone feels Wheeler has sincere desire to be a good air man Punishment is designed to be corrective. A further trial would serve no purpose and would just be hitting the guy on the head"
 Asked how Wheeler had changed his attitude, Capt John M. Con- nolly replied, Ever spend a cou- pie of nights in jail?"
