Rising Pressure
Gust Lloyd
Noted in Britain

LONDON, Feb. 81 CP.-Pres-
sure for the custer of Foreign
Secretary Selwyn Lloyd was re-
ported rising today following
what the London Times called
'one of his more inept per-
formances" in the House of
Commons.
Prime Minister Macmillan
had to intervene in a House
foreign affairs debate last night
after the Laborite opposition
attacked Mr.. Lloyd bitterly for
refusing to outline proposals
the government has made to
Britain's allies to pave the way
for an East-West summit con-
ference.
1t was the second time that
Mr.. Lloyd's removal has been
widely predicted. The first was
after Sir Anthony Eden's
resignation as Prime Minister
Is months age in the aftermath
of the Suez invasion. But Mr..
Macmillan kept Mr.. Lloyd in
the top foreign policy post.
Future Declared in Doubt
"Lloyd's future as foreign
secretary is now in doubt" de-
clared the Daily Mail, an all
out Conservative supporter.
His reputation has reached
rock bottom.
The pro-Conservative Daily
Express asserted the foreign
secretary had further damaged
his parliamentary reputation"
and declared many ConServa-
tives feel Macmillan cannot
with the best will in the world
keep him for long"

to bite his tongue several times
to keep from giving it away.
Il can't very well give you
my political speech" he said
ruefully. as he berated the Re-
publicans for their power policy.
I'D love to let loose but I've
got to save it for Saturday
night. The reason / am doing
it is because I am grateful for
the things they have done for
me and the party to which I
belong"

1t was only this consideration,
he made it plain. which kept
him from pouring it on the
COP.
Il could talk to you, until
noon about the things they
haven't DONE" he said as he
sat down.
Mr.. Truman planned to ad-
dress a luncheon meeting of
the Reserve Officers Association
at the National Press Club and
spend the rest Of the day in his
hotel room at the Mayflower

come"
He set aside this evening
for a dinner to be given by for
mer Senate Democratic Leader
Scott Lucas of Illinois.
AS many invitations as he has
accepted. Mr.. Truman said yes
terday he cannot come near
doing all of the things he is
asked to do.
22S Invitations in Month
He disclosed that in January
alone he received 228 invita-
tons to make speeches and
public appearances. The total
for February is running about
the same. ne said.
Now almost "a years old, he
said he does not have the
physical strength to go every
where he is asked. Nevertheless,
he is planning a trip to Europe
soon in the hope of promoting
world peace through speeches
on human fellowship.
In the course of a private
luncheon he and Mrs. Truman
gave yesterday at the May
flower Hotel, the former Presi-
dent delighted his political
friends by predicting that Con-
gress. in the fall elections. will
go overwhelmingly Democratic.
If that happens. he prophe-
sled. the country will have a
Democratic President in 1860.
"Old CrOnies"
The Mayflower luncheon was
given for about IS members Of
the Truman administration and
their wives. Before photo
graphers and reporters we're re-
quested to leave the hotel
dining room, Mr.. Truman told
a televlslon cameraman that
the luncheon guests we're old
"cronies."
In my administration" he
commented. they used to cali
them cronies. Now they call
them advisers.

Disorder Hurts U. S.
At Home and Abroad

Responsible State officials
must exercise wisdom and fore
sight to prevent violence and
the defiance of court DEGREES.
Our Nation pays a heavy price
for such disorder, both at home
and abroad-particularly when
1t is the product Of an attempt
to deny to fellow American cit
liens rights duly determined by
our courts.
In any civilization based upon
ordered liberty, it is funda-
mental, in the words of John
Locke. a favored philosopher
of the Founding Fathers, that
no man in civil society can be
exempted from the laws of it,"
BY the same token, no man can
be excepted from the require
ment Of respecting the lawfully
determine drights of others.
Every thoughtful and respon-
sible person knows this to be
true. I earnestly call upon you
as officers of our courts, as
leaders of the bar. and as the
respected counselors of your
communities to insure that this
fundamental truth shall not be
lost upon your fellow citizens
more than that, that it shall
not even be temporarily OBJ
Scured.

The responsibility for carry

cases to the lower courts for
further proceedings, the Su-
preme Court instructed those
courts to require that the local
school authorities involved
make a prompt and reason
able start toward full compli-
ance." 1t also directed that the
trial courts consider the ade-
quacy of any plans that the
school boards might propose
as a means of "effectuat (ing)
a transition to a racially nom
discriminatory school system. "
The United States was not a
party to the school cases. The
immediate parties were plain

hand and local school authori-
ties on the other. The United
States appeared only in the

The Law of the Lund
And Permanent

So the doctrine separate
but equal" must be considered
a thing of the past. In other
words, a State law which re-
quires a Negro to act or not to
act or to do certain thing
merely and solely because he is
a Negro violates constitutional
requirements. For a nation
which stands for full equality
under the law-which Solemnly
believes that all men are equal
before the law, regardless OF
race, religion, or place of ma
tional origin-the result I'M
doubtedly is permanent. II
must be our hope that persons
who oppose the decision will
see the wisdom and the COM
polling need, in the national
interest, of working out reas-
enable ways to comply.
In our system of government,
of course, the Constitution is
the supreme law of the land
and it is the function of the
judiciary to expeund it. This
is the very cornerstone of our

by the States offer to pay tut
ton at a school of comparable
standing in nearby State.
Then, in 1850, the court, in a
unanimous opinion written by
Chief Justice Vinson, examined
intangible as we'll as tangible
factors in determining that a
separate law school maintained
by Texas for Negro residents of
that State did not provide the
same opportunities as were Of
fered by a legal education at
the University of Texas.
Notwithstanding this litiga-
ton involving public education
at the university level, the de-
cision in BrotOn v. Board of Ed
ucdtion, as you well know, had
serious impact on certain sec
tons of our country and was
met with apprehension. resent

fiance.

holdings of the Supreme Court
and of the lower Federal courts
emphasize that a State may
not engage in other forms of
segregation, for example, in
providing recreational facilities
and in public transportation.
The courts have concluded that
for a State to enforce separa-
ton on the basis of racial cri-
terra, even though the separate
facilities provided may be
physically similar, is to deny
equal protection Of the laws.

only the predominantly local"
question Of formulating an APP
propriate plan Of migration,
was requested by the court to
participate in the investigation
and prosecution Of the criminal
contempt charge. This was
done and Kasper was convicted
and the conviction sustained on
appeal.
An example of still another
way in which the Federal Gov
eminent has participated in
helping to overcome violent in
reference with a plan Of inte-
grafton is the Hoxie, Ark. case.
Promptly after the Supreme
Courts decisions, the Hoxie
school board, finding no admin
istrative obstacle to immediate
deSegregation, announced that
the schools in that district
would be open to white and
colored children alike. This
was met. however, by threats
and acts of violence designed to
coerce the school board to re-
scind its action. The board and
its members responded by an
action in the Federal district
court to enjoin the agitators
from interfering with the de-
segregation Of the Hoxie schools
and from threatening or in
timidating the school board
members in the performance of
their duties.
The injunction was granted,
but the defendants appealed
on the grounds that no Federal
rights. were involved and that
the Federal courts had no jul
risdiction. The appeal thus
raised the broad question
whether State officials can be
protected in the Federal courts
from interference with their
of a duty imposed
upon them by the Federal Con-
Stitution. Because of the effect
the decision would have upon
the procedures available for

cation, the United States, at

and with the consent of all the
parties. appeared and filed q
brief in the court of appeals In

was affirmed.

Federal Policy
On School Practices

The general policy of the
Federal Government under the
present law is that it does not
institute proceedings to alter
the practices followed in the
Nations countless school sys-
TENS. Moreover, if a complaint
on behalf of local school chill
dren is filed on the ground that
the school system in a particu-
lar community operates in a
discriminatory fashion, and this
contention is sustained. we re-
gard the matter of formulating
an appropriate remedial plan
as the responsibility of the local
litigants and the local court.
On the other hand, If there
is concerted and substantial
interference, as in the Kasper
case, with the decree of the
court, we stand prepared to

U. S. Aids Courts
As Legal Authority

There have been a few in
stances in which we have par
ticipated in court actions, not
in connection with a proposed
school plan, but in order to
assure proper respect for law
and order and for the DEGREES
of the United States district
courts.
One instance of participation
by the executive branch of the
Federal Government in the en-
forcement of orders of a Fed
eral court is a case which arose
in Clinton, Tenn. In comph-
ance with a court order, a num-
Der of Negroes had been ad-
mitted, without incident, to the
Clinton High School. Several
days later. John Kasper, an
agitator for the Seaboard White
Citizens Council, arrived to or
ganize concerted obstruction.
His purpose was to Illustrate the
district courts order and to
exert pressure upon the school
board to dismiss the Negro
Students.
At the petition of members
of the school board, the court
enjoined KaSper from further
hindering or obstructing the ap-
proved plan. KaSper refused to
comply and continued to incite
mob action aimed at Subverting
the courts decree. He was
threupon charged with criminal
contempt, again at the instance
of the school board members.

the case since it had involved

Latitude and flexibility are there

The executive branch of your
Government does not appear In

Quoted for purposes Of deter.
mining whether a proposed
school plan is adequate OF
whether an existing plan should
be modified. The details of i'm
fermentation are for the par
ties directly involved and fol
the local court. If such plan as
may be approved by the courts
is thereupon carried out, there
can, Of course, be no occasion
for participation by the De-
partment of Justice. There is
hope that this will be the pre-
vailing pattern and that inn
fermentation will go forward
consistently with the require
ments Of law and order and the
dictates of good citizenship and
good sense.

Wednesday, THE common sense

responsibility must eventually

supervision Of the local Federal
courts.
The crux of the matter then
is one of intention. The prob
lens are difficult at best, but
they become hazardous if the
underlying intent of those who
are opposed to the decision of
the court-particularly those in
official positions who are OPP
posed to the DECISIONS one Of
defiance. For the reasons I have
mentioned, time and under
standing are necessary ingredi-
ents to any long-term solution.
But time to work out construc-
tive measures in an honest eff
fort to comply is one thing;
time used as a cloak to achieve
complete defiance of the law of
the land is quite another.

Area Adjustment
Problem Is Great

No one should try to mini
mize the problems of local ad-
justment posed in certain areas
by these decisions. All of us
must be mindful that for some
communities the principle of
law declared is one which runs
against long ingrained habits,
customs and practices, which
were thought to be consistent
with the Constitution. we must
remember and comprehend the
significance of the fact that for
more than five decades thise
communities had reason to rely
upon PleSSy D. Ferguson, which
enunciated the concept of sep
arate but equal" To be I'M
mindful of this is to be unrea-

Issue Summarized
In Seven Points

In summary then let me res
state these conclusions:
/. The decision of the Su.
preme Court in the school cases
and in related fields is the law
of the land.
2. Compliance with the law
of the land is inevitable. AS the
President said last Wednesday,
Every American must under
stand that if an individual, a
community, or a State is going
successfully and continuously
to defy the court then there
will be anarchy"
3. In the final analysis,
therefore. it is vital in the
national interest that there be
thoughtful compliance in. con-
formity with the general guide
