When Congress-the Sem
ate acting first-struck out
Section 3 Of the administra-
tons civil rights bill which
would have specifically given
the Federal courts the right
to issue injunctions in all
kinds Of civil rights cases,
including public school seq
regation. it followed a denun-
citation Of the measure by
Senator Russell Of Georgia,
who claimed this provision
was tantamount to q force"
bill and might lead to the
use Of Federal troops in the
South. President Eisenhower
said he was surprised at the
Interpretation placed on the
section by the Georgia Sen
ator and declared he had no
intention Of sending Federal
troops into the States. At the
same time, however, officials
Of the Department Of Justice
insisted that whether Section
3 Of the bill became law or
not, the Federal Government
could act, and by the in
junction process, in school
segregation cases.
Now q Federal judge has
issued an Injunction directing
that no one interfere with q
court-approved program for
desegregation in the Cen
trail High School in Little
Rock, Ark. Gov. Faubus
Of Arkansas, calling out
the National Guard for the
purpose, he said. Of pro-
tecting the peace and pre-
venting disorder If school
indignation proceeded. has
ordered the Guard to prevent
entry Of Negro students into
the school, and that has been
done. This brings the Gov
ernor into direct conflict
with the order Of the Federal
court, which was to go right
ahead with the indignation
program.
Showdown Likely
The issue seems directly
Joined. The Governor may
insist that the action Of the
National Guard in preventing
Negro children from entering
the school is q measure to
preserve the peace. On the
other hand, 1t may be argued
that the children could have
been admitted. to the school
and the National Guard could
have protected them and
maintained peace and order.
The order Of the Federal
court to proceed with the
school indignation plan still
stands. Indignation has been
ordered nationally by the
Supreme Court, which de-
cided in q unanimous opin-
ion in 1854 that segregation
was unconstitutional. The
Supreme Court decision de-
clared that indignation Of
the schools should proceed
with reasonable" speed. 1t
appeared to recognize the
situation which was bound
to arise in States Of the
South. and so has the Presi-
dent. In the last three years.
desegregation Of the schools
has been making Roadway in
that section Of the country
but very slowly.

As the Confidential trial
runs its mucky course in
Hollywood, ] came across
this remarkably up-to-date
comment on this subject by
old Ben Franklin in his auto
biography.
I'm the conduct Of my
newspaper I carefully ex-
cluded all libelling and per-
sonal abuse. which is Of late
years become so disgraceful
to our country. Whenever I
was solicited to insert any
thing Of that kind and the
writer's pleaded. as they gen.
orally did. the liberty Of the
press. and that q newspaper
was like Q stage-coach in
which any one who would
pay had q right to q place,
my answer would be that I
would print the piece II de-
sired and the author might
have as many copies as
pleased to distribute himself,
but that / would not take
upon me to spread his de-
traction; and that. having
contracted with my subscribe
ers to furnish them with
what might be either useful
or entertaining, ! could not
I'LL their papers with private
alterations on which they
had no concern without do
ing them manifest injus-
tice
These things ! mention as
q caution to young printers
and that they may be en-
couraged not to pollute their
presses and disgrace their
profession by such infamous
practices. but refuse steadily,
as they may see by my ex-
ample that such a course Of
conduct will not, on the
whole. be injurious to their
interests"

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL


Utilization Of table scraps
for wildbird feeding in the
yard Is an old story, but
o. e. c. Of Falls Church
comes I'D with her own slant:
II have recently devised
means Of enhancing the
stock Of food for my wildings.
and I would like to pass on
my ideas to those interested.
due to extensive develop
ments in my community, there
remains but little acreage OF
virgin woods which furnish q
haven for the wild creatures.
but I put out grains. bread
products. and such leftovers
as macaroni, bits Of scrapings
from corn cobs, dough from
the cake mixer which ! SAL
vaged by running q little
cornmeal around the pan
"Oh, yes, and coconut and
raisins which have settled in
the bottom Of the cookie jar.
bits Of pie crust, fruit cake
and cereals, and remnants OF
my lunch"
4 4 = 4
This careful custodian OF
the wild says that it is thrill
ing to her to see the full
grown baby cardinals. towhees
and others stand beside their
parents with fiuttering wings
while the older birds put bits
into their bills.
IT have doves, wrens,
Knockers, finches. fox SPAR
rows and others. with the
chipmunks, squirrels and ter
rapins. The latter enjoy the
canteloupe rind, bread and
watermelon, and the seeds
Of both cantaloupe and
watermelon.
Little or no contention
seems to take place between
these hungry creatures. I
haven't seen q more varied
collection of wildlife at any
other local residents feeding
station, so the foods I pro-
vide must please.
"A small pan OF water Is

Ex =
It is an interesting thing.
that birds do not battle as
much in hot weather as they
do in cold. Perhaps some
scientist can explain this.
No one should think, how
ever, that they do not need
water during the heat. Espe-
cially for bathingl But star
lings undoubtedly battle more
in the cold, and so do other
varieties. It is not true that
cardinals do not battle at all.
The redbirds are what may
be described as shy bathers.
They like to come down
through a mist Of water from
the fine spray Of the hose.
In summers Of drought. the
birds suffer a great deal from
lack Of water. and often have
to leave the suburbs to seek
moist places in the remaining
woodlands, especially near
springs.
This may account for the
diSappearanco Of many Spe.

It seems inevitable that
Dorothy Thompson, in dis
cussing any aspect Of the
Middle East. or events in any
Of the Arab countries, feels
always compelled to bring
the subject around to Israel
and to charge Israel with
being the cause of each and
every problem in that area.
In discussing Col. Nasser's
dynamic Arab leadership"
she asks. WAS he Nasser)
wrong in fearing military ac-
ton from Israeli" The facts
Of history and the examina-
ton Of the full texts Of u. N.
resolutions on the Arab
Israel conflict land not
merely q quotation out Of
context Of individual para
graphs in resolutions) shows
that Nasser had cause to fear
military reaction from Israel
only II and when he himself
previously ordered and or
ganized military or para
military action against Israel.
Miss Thompson further
asks: Has Israel expanded
beyond her 1947 borders?"
She is again fully aware that
the borders Of both the Jew
ish state and the Arab state
envisaged by the 1947 resolu-
ton were obliterated by the
leaders Of the Arab world.
Israel was prepared to accept
the frontiers proposed in that
resolution although they rep
resented less than her hopes.
II the Arabs had not gone to
war against the U. N. Gen.
eral Assembly's resolution
and the state Of Israel i'm
mediately after the resolu-
ton was passed, there would
today be an independent
Arab state sharing a part of
Palestine with the Israel
envisaged in the resolution.
Israel's policy is to achieve
peace with her Arab neigh
bors and to cooperate with
them in regional projects
aimed at raising the stand
ard OF living Of the whole
area. I

THE POLITICAL Mill
BY GOULD LINCOLN !
Showdown Indicated in Arkansas Case

is not likely to recede In this
Arkansas case. If the Gov
ernor persists in his position
which prevents school inte-
grafton, 1t is presumed that
the Federal court viii move,
perhaps holding him in con-
tempt Of court. A showdown
Of authority as between the
Federal Government and the
State seems inevitable.
School Board Started II
In this Arkansas case, the
step to carry out the SUI
preme Courts decision OUT
having segregated public
schools was taken by the
local school board--not by
the Federal Government.
Further, this is the school
board Of the States largest
city. The 10-year gradual in
tegration program--and it Is
very gradual-was an issue
in the campaign for the
election Of the members Of
the school board. It is an all
white board. A State court
decided that the program
should not go into effect.
It held that the program
was contrary to the laws
Of the State regarding seq
regation. The school board
appealed to the Federal
court, and United States
District Judge Ronald L.
Davies last week overruled
the State court and ordered
that the indignation program
go forward. It was then the
Arkansas Governor entered
the situation, throwing q
Gordon of 800 National
Guardsmen around the Gen.
trail High School. as 1t now
seems, to keep nine Negro
children from being inte-
grated with some 1000 white
pupils, although Gov. Fau-
bus is denying he is defying
the Federal court. The pro-
gram looks to the integration
Of small numbers Of Negro
pupils in one or two other
public schools.
President Eisenhower, be.
fore he left here on vacation.
indicated he expected the
Department of Justice and
the courts to deal with the
Little Rock school situation.
Ofhcials Of the department.
have moved promptly. first
to ascertain just what the
Governors order means
whether it is designed to
prevent school deSegregation
or, as he has said. merely to
keep the peace. This Is the
first action by q State Chief
Executive - with force in
volved-which has the effect
of defying q Federal court
order in the matter Of school
segregation.
Undoubtedly the Depart
ment Of Justice and the Fed
eral courts will seek to bring
about an amicable adjust
ment in this Little Rock
school case, and that may be
successful. If not, q trial.
either by or without jury. for
contempt may be expected.
The case could bring about
a new move for further civil
rights legislation when Con-
gress returns.

cies from certain blocks. but
Of course there are always
other factors, ranging from
hawks to cats and back again,
to say nothing Of unknown
factors, such as what effect
harsh chemical sprays may
have on bird life as q whole.
With lack of moisture. in.
sects and worms seek lower
levels, or remain sequestered
in tree bark.
This is q particular handi-
cap to robins in bringing up
their young, so handouts Of
raisins, which are firm and
juicy, will do much to help
these faithful creatures.
We do not know just
how q bird gains the title Of
faithful. Surely all Of them
deserve it, perhaps. but some
how it belongs to the robin
Just q little bit more than
to some others.
Faithfulness means, In this
case, being around all the
time. This is one Of the
cardinal beauties of the
robin, If we may put it that
way. The robin sticks to his
selected yards. and comes
around both early and late.
Wood thrushes also like
their own yards. and tend
to stay almost as well as the
robins.
A raisin spot in the yard
is an addition to the usual
wildbird mixture, or the left
overs as detailed above.
This is best put in some
one place. so that the birds
come there to look for food.
Though raisins are expensive,
they provide fine food for
the birds which will eat
them.
They are packed with sug-
ars and iron; probably birds
need iron as much as human
beings. in this hectic life they
lead, always on the wing ex-
cept when asleep.
Nobody. as far as we know,
has ever made q direct COM
parison between mans food
and q birds food, but prob
ably the essentials are just
the same-proteins. carbohy-
drates, vitamins and miner
ais. with little need for pure
fats, except in suet, liked by
woodpeckers and others.

Are you aware Of the fact
