scientists have determined
that the average good sleeper
turns over at least so times
every night.
Heaven knows how many
times the poor sleeper lops.
Electrical devices hitched to
his big toes could not keep up
with his twistingS and turnings.
The person troubled with
insomnia in his later years can
turn this eternal tossing into a
game. and so take some of the
curse out of it.
1t is easy.
Just see how long you can
lie on the left side, for in
stance.
Mentally count, until you
fall asleep, or just have to
turn over, to the back, say.
Or maybe the right side.
Then start counting again.
In this way, by a very simple
application of arithmetic, the
mind or whatever it is which
controls sleep, is fooled.
+
The thinking part of the
mind is not so easily outwitted.
1t insists on thinking.
So tired executives take their
problems home with them.
Their underlings may be ex-
cused for thinking it serves
them right. they get paid
enough to make up for lit
tie turning and tossing.
What does one do when he
does not get paid for it?
He just turns, that's all.
He must harness this very
turning, if he is not to let it
take possession Of him.
Rigidly to determine that he
will not, he simply must not,
roll over, is one way Of ending
up in a place where a nice man
asks you. all smiles: do you
know what time Of year it is?"
He thinks you have lost
touch with reality. If you fool
him, and say. brightly, why,
it's winter. of course" he will

Turning and tossing at
night is as old as the hills

Debates With 'PubIius'

A Washington lawyer
"PubliuS" - expressed grave
alarm over the action of q
Federal judge who ordered the
arrest of some Tennessee
citizens who violated a Federal
injunction. He wanted to know
whether or not a Federal
judge can sentence a man to
hang If he can imprison a man
for contempt of a Federal in
junction.
MethinkS the lawyer doth
protest too much and too
soon. The trial of the prisoners
in question does not come be-
fore the court until January
%, at which time they will
undoubtedly request trial by
jury and which will doubtless
be granted.
I wonder. however, why
"Publius," while he was quot
ing the Constitution, failed to
quote the part that states that
no State shall make any laws
abridging the rights of any of
its citizens or of a citizen of
the United States. I wonder,
too, what the lawyers deport-
ment would be if Alabama
passed law requiring all law
yers to sit in the back of a
bus. the front of a bus. the
middle of a bus or what have
you?
The Negroes have felt for
years that the separate but
equal" decision handed down
by the Supreme Court in 1896
was unjust. but they recog-
nized the Courts right to pass
this ruling under our system
of Government and did not
embark on campaign of viii
itication of the court or its
members. 1t is difficult to I'M
derstand how the South,
which was so pleased with the
1896 ruling and defended so
fervently the courts right to
rule. should now want to deny
the power of constitutional in
depreciation to the present-day
court merely because the de-
cision does not allow the South
the right to continue denying
constitutional rights to a seq
ment of its population.
Even greater concern should
be given especially by law
yers) to the actions Southern
ers took after they were sup
posedly required to equalize
their schools by the 1896 YER
dict. If they had complied in
good faith with what they
accepted as the law of the
land. there would have been
no lawsuits in 1850 and no
Supreme Court edict in 1854.
The good people Of the
South"-about which we hear
so much and see so little
chose to rigidly enforce the
separate" and to blatantly
ignore the equal" portion of
the 1896 verdict.
Now, another verdict has
been given. Instead Of COM
pliance. the South has chosen
the path of defiance through
violence. harrassment, vilifica-
ton, stalling, threats, applica-
ton of economic sanctions,
gunf1re and mob rule. Can 1t
be that these superior people
have less respect for the
things for which America
stands than the people they
consider inferior to them?

Legislation for each will be introduced

The incident began Monday
afternoon when the Sudanese stu

Gregory was seated in a chair

Both boys walked out, convinced
that Mahgoub had been refused a
