Dear Mr.. Marshall;
Those students at Little
Rock Must endure the in
suits they have been taking.
If they leave school, VIC
tory has been achieved by
the students which have
been instructed by their
criminally tended parents.
So,the same thing then will
happen everywhere in the
south.

the reason they were closed.
Mr.. Marshall, I am a
white mana native of
Arkansas-and I fear this
intregration thing will never
happen in some of the deep
south states because the Ne
gro is too passive. I see
them all the time yielding
to oppression when the
high courts have cleared the
way for them. Why do not
your people institute dam
age suits and enjoin the
white people in many cases?
Touch their pocket books
and they will do business.
You know all these things
but l stress the school at
Little Rock because those
students must stay in school
at any cost. They Must Stay!
Sincerely,

Seventh generation
in grocery business
By LOUIS JAMES

Who invented the supermar-
ket? jim Cullen should know. He
was right there when it hap
pened.
1t was in 1880, in the middle
of the country's worst depres-
sion, when Jim's father, Michael
Cullen, opened the first self
service grocery store in the ma
ton in the little town of Jamaica
on New York's Long Island.
"a help-yourself grocery store
without clerks? Everybody said
we'd be out of business in a
month";" Jim recalls.
Worked all night
The day before the opening lin
a converted garage) Jim, who
was then 18, worked all night
helping his father pre-pack -four,
soap chips, sugar, beans, cereals
and vegetables.
1t was the dawn, too, of a COM
pletely new industry pre-pack-
aged foods.
Outside, the Cullens painted a
big red sign that blared: "King
Kullen - King Of The Price
Wreckers! How Does He Do It?"
Thousands of depression rid
died customers, counting every
penny and hungrily seeking a
bargain, damned the doors of the
little store right at the opening.
All day long they came from all
over the island.
And they were getting bar
gains-as much as and 10 cents
an item cheaper.
Well, how did he do it?

The students could spit

the Negro student would be

the best thing to do, is pro-

on the other hand Il Is also very

been less subjected to scrutiny
there Is good reason to believe
that the deputy Soviet foreign

wanting when It comes TO Mos
cows version OF the "construc-
tive" Middle Eastern approach.
World Division Evident
What is unlikely is that these
various proposals will have very
much In them that is compati-
BILE with the other. In the past
for example, Russian ideas
about neutralizing the Middle
East have always included the
liquidation Of Western bases in
an area which includes Turkey
and an end to foreign inter-
ference in the affairs of the
various States. At any rate, in
arguing the merits of the rival
master-plans, a good deal Of in
fighting and traditional name
calling can be expected.
When finally the time for
voting comes, however. it will
not be a matter of who has
made the best speeches. 1t will
not even really be a matter OF
who gets the most votes.
