LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR. . .
f AUBUS ANTAGONIZES
DEMOCRATS AND OTHERS
IN THE NORTH

The attitude of Governor Fau-
bus of Arkansas, in trying to pre-
vent the Little Rock school board
from carrying out their modest
beginning of indignation at the
Central high school there in ac-
cordance with the Supreme
Courts decision against segrega-
ted education, has caused a re-
vulsion among people in the north
and west generally.
A practical way to express
their revulsion was found by the
Democratic Women's club of
Greenwich, Connecticut when
they voted to give 5000 as a do
nation to the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People, to be used wherever the
need is greatest. They did this al
though, rejecting the racial COM
position of the town, only a
small proportion of the clubs
members are colored women. In
giving this donation the club stat
ed, Segregation in education and
in all other aspects is harmful to
the United States both internal
ly, where it is wasteful of vitality
needed talents and injurious to
human rights and dignity, and in
ternationally, where it has caused
us to lose prestige and provided
the Communists with their most
potent weapon against u.s..
The club took this action, ac-
cording to their president, be-
cause these women Democrats be-
Iieve that Democrats in the north
must take firm, public, and ac-
tive stand on the issue of civil
rights.
1t would seem to be a highly
effective way for Democrats and
Republicans alike in the northern
and western states to express their
opposition to Governor Faubus's
thinly disguised appeals to vio-
lence against carrying out the SUI
preme Courts decision, if they
follow the lead of the Greenwich
Democratic Women club and
make a substantial donation to
the NAACP to enable it to carry
on its fight against racial segrega-
ton and discrimination in all
forms. The Biblical command, go
thou and do likewise, would
seem to be applicable here.
Fraternally yours,

The next morning more new
snow had fallen and the weather
was colder. However. two of Chief
Washakie's wives served them
a good breakfast of hot antelope

the two scouts supplied with
plenty of food as long as they
were in his camp.

The old chief waited a moment
before he answered in sign talk
which was used by all throughout
the remainder of the meeting.

OSLO. Norway. Aug. Is (AP)
An American general yester-
day picked up q phone in Oslo
and spoke to q Norwegian gen.
eral 500 miles away. He was
initiating the first leg Of a new
NATO Accommodation sys-
tenn which eventually will link
Northern Norway with Eastern
Turkey.
The conversation went
through four radio stations
making up the new troposcat-
ter system between Oslo and
Bodoe, north of the Arctic
Circle.
United States Mai. Gen. A.
v. Conrad, chief signal officer
at NATO headquarters. was at
the Oslo end.
1t has cost $50 and two
years to build the system. All
the money was provided by the

The radio stations have been
built on mountain tops, with
two huge antennae in the form
of $50 feet vertical dishes as
the most visual parts.

Senate HELP
On SmifhAcf

The House looked 10 the

hopefully-for support in pass

has misinterpreted.
The measure. approved with
out opposition late yesterday.
would define In greater and
stronger detail the term "or-
ganize" In the 1910 Smith Act.
That law made 1t q crime will
fully to advocate the violent
overthrow Of the Government
and 10 organize any group for
such teaching and advocacy.
Courts Interpretation
The Supreme Court ruled a
year ago that the word "or-
eanize" referred only to the
ofhcial organization of the
Communist Party and not TO a
continuing process OF organ
izing and recruiting new mem
bers. The decision reversed
the convictions of several Cali
fornia Communist leaders. APP
peals courts subsequently re-
versed convictions in seven
similar cases based at least in
part on that decision.
Democrats and Republicans
on the House Judiciary Com
mittee and others who took
part in the House discussion
yesterday declared that the
high court misconstrued the
intent Of Congress in enactihg
the Smith Act.
This BILL" Representative
Walter. Democrat Of Pennsyl-
vania, told the House. "re-states
what we thought we were en-
acting before the Supreme
Court invaded the legislative
field"
Representative Heating, Re-
publican of New York. de-
scribed the Supreme. Courts
decision as "the most out
standing case in recent years
where the court has miScon-
strued the intent of Congress"
Restatement
The provision adopted by the
House states: "As used in this
section (of the Smith Act) the
term organize with respect to
any society, group or assembly
Of persons. includes the re-
cruiting Of new members. the
forming Of new units. and the
regrouping or expansion Of
existing clubs, classes and
other units of such society,
group or assembly of persons.
The bills prospects in the
Senate are not regarded as
especially bright in view Of the
drive toward ADJOURNMENT. It's
advocates believe that If it gets
prompt Senate Judiciary COM
mittee approval it will have a
fair chance of Senate passage.
They note, however, that the
Senate has not yet acted on
two other House-approved bills
dealing with Supreme Court
decisions. One resulted from the
Mallory case decision relating
to arraignments. The other
grew out Of the decision that
Federal anti-sedition laws pre-
empt State statutes in that
field.

mated for the Queen were: JIG
