In a prepared statement Mon
day morning, Federal Judge Har-
ny J. Lemley in a non-hesitat-
ing manner, told the Little Rock
school board just what it must
do, if relief from his court is
granted the petition recently fill
ed.
The school board February 20
asked that the Little Rock plan
of gradual indignation of the pub
lie schools here be realistically
RECONSTRUCTED in the light of ex-
listing conditions" and that the
beginning. date of indignation be
put off until such time as the
concept of all deliberate speed"
is, clarified
Judge Lemley emphasized that
proof of the need for any delay
or change in the indignation plan
for Central hi school rests with
the school board and not the
federal court.
Judge Lemley said in coming
to the contents of the petition
that he found its prayer indie
finite in certain respects:
THE first part of the prayer is
for a realistic reconsideration of
the plan in the light Of existing
conditions. l don't know that ]
fully understand just what is
meant by this, The petition does
not indicate a desire on the part
of the board to formulate new
plan or definitely to modify the
present plan except with respect
to the commencing date; and the
petition should be amended SO as
to show whether the board desires
time within which to reconsider
the plan, or whether it simply de-
sires a moratorium" or a cool
ing off period"
Secondly, to my mind, the petit
ton is too indefinite with respect
to the length of time for which a
postponement is sought. I don't
know, and am not sure that any
one else knows, when the concept
"all deliberate speed will be
clarified. nor do / know what the
board means by effective legal
procedures which will enable
the district to integrate without
impairment of the quality of edu-
cation it is capable of providing
under normal conditions"
However, the judge did say If
the board makes case for re-
lief under the law and the evil
dence, then appropriate relief will
be granted But, on the other
hand, if the board fails to make
a case, either from a legal or
factual standpoint, its petition
will have to be denied.

yet to visit that Land of the

Here are some of those
memories, impressions, ETC.,
which we brought back from
Yugoslavia, some hilarious,
others thought provoking,
still others serious and con-
sequently revealing:

up and down the mountain
roads of that country were
enough to test the intesh-
nal fortitude of all in our
party.
But the scenery - from
the awe inspiring inland
mountains to the beautiful
shores of the blue Adriatic
more than made up for the
constant travels of the Group

trilHon dollars worth Of electrical
equipment in the next 20 years.
This is approximately five times as
much electricity and four times as
many appliances as the industry
has sold from 1879 to the present
How are such gains possible (?
How can an industry more than
quadruple its production and sales
in one-quarter Of the time II has
taken to reach its present record
level?
Primarily il Is because our
country has the highest of all
standards OF living. The competi-
tive. free enterprise system in
America has created the enviable
environment that allows last years
luxury to become this years nee
essity. Human nature is such that
a person will not deprive himself
Of the things he can reasonably
afford to make his life better and
living easier.
Electricity generated by inves-
tor-owned utilities. has always
been sold at bargain rates. In an
economy where prices have doub-
led, consumer electricity costs
have held the line and in many
cases decreased.
II is the plan and purpose Of the
electric industry in blueprinting
the next 20 years 70 have these
costs remain at level where
the American consumer win con-
tinue 20 think OF the electricity
that makes life happier for him
self and his family as inexpensive
and dependable,
Finally. IL is inconsistent to sup
pose that the electric industry
could radiate such confidence in
its own growth without believing
that the national economy win ex-
penence corresponding period Of
prosperity,
In looking 20 1879 we view the
current situation as a breathing
spell In the past, Establishments
such as this one have been fol
lowed by greater gains in the
economy than before The electric
industry, with It's experience in
the past and its faith in the tu-
ture. can have no other viewpoint.
