In some ways this press con-
ference was remarkable, not only
for Eisenhewer's resolution, but
also because he only once reverted
to his old comments about how
you cannot change the hearts Of
men by laws.
Once he had moved as a mill
tary man, as the Commander-in-
chief, the whole Eisenhower de-
meanor seemed to change. At last
he appeared to realize the power
of his office.

The New Eisenhower

Washington The newspaper
men who waited in the long dark
corridor outside the Presidents
press conference room in the Old
State Dept Building were talking
among themselves and making
little side bets. The topic natur-
ally was Little Rock.
The betting on whether Ike
would stand firm when the ques-
lions began or would he back
away from the tough decision he
had made vis-a-vis federal troops
and strict enforcement of the high
courts indignation order.
The betting favored a back
down.
That had been the pattern dur
ing all the years OF McCarthyism
and even on the tangled Dixon
Yates contract. In a showdown,
the boys were saying, Ike had no
stomach for real fight even with
a midget like Faubus.
This was one day after the
Eisenhower Manifesto" on inte-
grafton. Many reporters figured
he didn't know what was in it or
that he could not, for that matter.
explain exactly why he had turned
down the Faubus' deal with the
Southern Governors.
It's pleasant to be able to re-
port that nearly everyone in the
press corps was wrong. Ike stood
his ground. 1t was a new" Eisen-
hover for Washington; it was
very much in the image of the old
Gen. Eisenhower who beat the
Nazis to a pulp.
1t wasn't an argumentative
Eisenhower who talked to the
newsmen. He did not like sending
troops
mo man can deplore more than
l do the sending of Federal troops
anywhere" he said matter-of-
factly.
1T is not good for the troops;
it is not good for the locality; it Is
not really American, except as it
becomes absolutely necessary for
the support of the institutions
that are vital to our form of gov

WATCH

POTOMAC
BY ROBERT c. sPIvAcK

Later someone asked whether
the White House could not supply
more leadership in Strengthening
out the integration-segregation
mess? The President did not have
too much to say on this point, ex-
cept that he indicated it was time
for the Southern extremists to be-
gin using a little restraint.
Now the leadership of the
White House can be exercised
only, as l see it, through giving
the convictions of the President
and exhorting citizens to remem-
Der American as well as their
own private prejudices," he said.

What Makes Ike Mad

Only once during the entire
press conference did the familiar
Eisenhower temper flare up. One
newsman wanted to know If, in
stead of allowing things to drift,
the White House might have act
ed earlier to head off the crisis?
II am astonished how many
people know exactly what the
President of the United States
should do" Ike snapped.
Goodwill, he then went on as
he cooled off, cannot be enforced
by troops. There is still a need
for Patience" and tolerance" he
repeated. Again he reminded other
Southerners that they might fol-
low the example of Cows. Hodges

CFla.) and McKeldin, (Md)
These men, he said, oppose in
tegration, but nevertheless, "as
loyal citizens" they are carrying
out the orders of the court.

FARMERS RETIRING

Since April, 1856, when self
employed farmers could first
qualify under the 1854 amend
ment to the Old Age and Surviv-
ors Insurance covering farmers,
by showing net earnings of $500
for 1855, a total of 100000 claims
have been filed. In 1856 another
amendment was enacted by Con-
gress, broadening coverage to in
clude the city farm owners who
supervise their sharecroppers and
the crew leaders in charge of the
travelling fruit and vegetable
pickers. This year 100000 claims
have been filed by farmers ready

Why Teachers Leave Mississippi

The following might be called "Why Teachers Leave Mis-
sissippi"
The national average teacher pay 1920 annually
In IS Southern is 1886 Mississippi s2442
Mississippi ranks 47h among the of teacher

per year than Arkansas which is 48th.
Among that compete directly with for teachers
the annual salary Florida s4117-652a higher than Mis-
sissippi Louisiana $3875-60% higher than in Mississippi
Alabama 1885, 4O% higher Tennessee $3.50 800 higher
In South Carolina, onete competitor for the bottom
rung the economic ladder the average is S3110 302

The average beginning salary for 1856 college graduate
entering professions engineering $725 annually
$685. sales 1885, general business $496 Msssp-
pi teachers, $4,000
That's why Mississippi losing 800 teachers every
year. That's why than half newy traned teach
taking jobs in other states Who blame
them?
Why are behind other Southern states in the
teacher pay? For the 47 in the
nation in per capita income because have fallen
behind the states industrial and general economic
progress.
We can't pay teachers competitive wages and adequately
support schools unless have the tax revenue to do It. Our
tax rates presently high higher than those of other
Southern states But long rank 4 in capita in
