Social Studies

We have been studying about
Western European Countries. We
first made reports on England, then
we went to France, Germany,
Sweden, Switzerland, Austria, Fin
land, Norway and Denmark. We
drew maps of the countries that
we have been studying. On the
maps we put the natural resources,
major cities, capital, population,
important mountains, and important
rivers.
We have had two exchange stu
dents to come talk to US about
their countries. We learned many
interesting things about them. The
students were German and Swe-
dish.
We are also making booklets on
the countries. On the front of the
booklet we have m lie little maps
of all the countries together.

Our Trip To Dover Air Base
On January 20, our class and the
other sixth grade section went to
the Dover Air Base. Major Joe r.
Mills and Major George Frumm met
us and guided us to the plane that
we were to tour.
When we reached the plane some
of the children thought it wasn't
very big, but the Douglas C=133 is
the largest cargo plane IN the
world, and second largest plane in
the world. The C-133 holds a little
over $4,000 gallons of gas, and has
carried a million pounds of cargo
in one month. The crew can cook
TV dinners. and also have cold
drinks while on their missions,
since they have a stove and ice
box on this plane.
We all enjoyed our trip very
much, and thank Ross Mills, our
classmate, for getting the invitation
for us.

WILLIAM S. WHITE
Use of Troops at Schools Stunned

Southern schools would ba
to marshal parental opinion
against such closings.
So, the fixed intention or
the administration is TO take
a confident line. for the
present at least. that the local
communities may be de-
pended upon TO keep their
own schools opener TO get
them reopened II they are
closed by gubernatorial au-
thority. The Federal Govern
ment is to be carefully pre-
sented, for its part, as in
terested not so much in inte-
grafton itself as in the larger
concept OF obedience TO the
Supreme Court as the only
proper final interpreter of the
Constitution.
This is the reason for the
almost antiseptically calm
speeches Mr.. Rogers is max
ing these days as to the
courts place in national life.
He is trying to direct a special
appeal to the South's tradi-
tional veneration for the jul
dietary, which on the whole
has been at least as high as
that of any other section.
The objective of all obiec-
tives is Virginia. That States
old intellectual and social
primacy in the South is being
underlined in private by
administration officials. Too.
they are strongly praising
Virginia's leaders, Senator
Harry F. Byrd and Gov.
Lindsay Almond, for their
powerful warnings that the
State will not tolerate anti
indignation violence. Great
distinctions are being made
by administration spokes-
men between these men and
Gov. Orval Faubus of Arkan-
sas, for example.
1t is felt within the admin
istration. in short. that If
and when resistance collapSes
in Virginia, the heart of all
Southern resistance will COL
lapse-not everywhere. Of
course, but most everywhere.

DAVID LAWRENCE
Ways to Restrict Supreme Court

of his State. made a speech
about the Supreme Court at
a meeting In Cleveland Of the
Sons Of the American Revolu-
ton. He decried any attempts
TO punish" the court, but
he said "a number Of repu-
table. qualified and impartial
constitutional lawyers have
spoken out vigorously against
usurpation Of power by the
Supreme Court" He men,
toned especially the vote Of
the chief justices Of So
States who, in a formal re-
port, recently criticized the
present Supreme Court Of
the United States for having
legislated rather than merely
interpreted the laws and the
Constitution.
MY remedy for judicial
legislation" said Senator
Bricker. sis slow and prosaic.
but 1t conforms TO the letter
and the spirit Of our Con-
stitution. The remedy is
simply that the President
and the Senate exercise far
greater care in the future
than they have in the past in
nominating and confirming
men for the highest tribunal.
1t is not enough merely to
be satisfied that a prospec-
tive justice has nothing de-
rogatory in his record. The
President and the Senate
must be sure beyond all rea-
sonable doubt that he has
the intellectual honesty and
the moral courage to sub
ordinate his personal con-
victions to the written Con-
stitution and not, in the
words of Omar. to 'shatter 1t
to bits-and then re-mould
it nearer to the hearts de-
sire"
This came from man who
wasn't discussing the seq
regation cases at all but the
many other usurpations Of
State rights. He quoted with
approval the comment of
Judge Learned Hand, retired.
