Oils a compelling reason why
Western military forces are in
the Middle East today.
Each day in 1855. when the
Arab world was comparatively
calm, the Middle East produced
more than 3h million barrels
Of oil, used fewer than 100000
Of them. and exported 234 mil
lion.
Each day in 1855. Western
Europe consumed more than
az million barrels Of oil, i'm
porting nearly two million from
western-operated oil fields In
the Middle East.
Mideast oil runs the trans
portation systems. power plants
and. equally important, the mil
itary machinery of the western
European members Of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization.
Most Of the oil. more than q
billion barrels a year. comes
from fields in four states, Ku-
wait, sSaudi Arabia. Irao and
Iran. They rank fourth through
seventh in world production.
They are the "haves."
Other Fingers Involved
But even the Mideast "have
nots" have their fingers in the
oil pool. Pipelines to the Medi-
terranean cross Jordan. Syria
and Lebanon. Egypt controls
the main shipping route, the
Suez Canal.
Within two weeks after the
closing Of the canal during the
brief Suez war Of 1856. Britain
cut oil supplies to consumers
by 10 per cent and there was
talk Of gasoline rat;oning.
Even more important than
production is the oil potential
Of the Middle East.
Experts have estimated the
regions known oil reserves at
more than 125 billion barrels,
nearly twice that Of the rest

Thomas Plan to Solve Indignation Crisis
Is Repugnant to Little Rock Negroes

Herbert L. Thomas, ar., local
insurance executive, proposed
Monday an approximately 5000
word plan to halt indignation of
the schools in Arkansas The pro-
posal was outlined to the state
board of education. He asked the
board to intervene in the inte-
grafton case in court to adopt
the plan.
Thomas plan if, adopted, would
be sufficient reason to remove
the troops from Central hi school
and restore racial Harmony in
Little Rock.
The plan is known as the
State Plan of Voluntary Pro-
gress'. Under the plan, the Ne
groes would be withdrawn from
Central hi school at the end of
tile present term, and not allow
&C back n school until the
white people of the community
are ready to accept them.
The plan would call for an in
terracial commission which would
be appointed by the state board
Of education.
Thomas stated that he had been
working on the plan several
weeks, and that he had talked
with leaders. According to news
dispatch. Thomas made it clear
that he was a segregationist, and
believed in the separateness of
the two races.
DR.. Roland Smith. president of
the Arkansas Christian Move
ment and Mrs. L. G. Bates presi-
dent of the Arkansas Conference
Of Branches NAACP, opposed the
Thomas plan and stated definite
" that it was unacceptable Rev.

creation of a new local school district from
the existing Belle Valley, Brookfield, Shar-
on, Center, Buffalo and Seneca local school
districts of the Noble county school district
plus the territory now comprising the Cald-
well exempted village school district.
In order that the proposed school mer-
ger might be fully and completely under
stood by the people in these districts, series
of meetings has been scheduled which should
be of benefit to each and every voter in that
particular school district.
These meetings will be conducted on
such level that all questions, pro or con,
will be answered completely and fully.
Whether you are for or against the issue, you
owe it to yourself to attend these meetings
and express your views now, SO that they
can be clarified, or shared by others.
The first such meeting was held Monday
night at Buffalo with the second at Belle Val
ley, Wednesday night. Other meetings will
be held Thursday, Sept. Is at the Sarahsville
school; Monday Sept. 20, Seneca school;
Tuesday, Sept. 30, Sharon school and We'd
nesday, Oct 8, Brookfield school,
There are four other special tax levies
in four school districts for additional tax
money to aid the schools.
Stock, Center and Elk are asking for an
additional tax with the Fulda local district
asking for a renewal of mills and an in
crease of mills.
Add all of these issues together and you
really will have a "hum-dinger" next Tues
day, November 4.

The American WAY Xxx

ton!
The opportunity to reach our
lawmakers is continuous, re-
gardless of whether Congress is
in session or not, regardless of
the particular man in office.
The issues don't lie with the
laWmaker but with the people
he represents, and his decision
will be their decision - to- the
extent that their decision is
communicated to him.
The way is thus open for the
American people to get and
keep the kind of labor legisla-
tion they know they need and
want. And the American peo-
pie means all of US - work
ers, both organized and unor-
ganized, employers and men,
bers of the general public. The
job IS up to you and me, re-
gardless of our station in life,
regardless of our economic
status, regardless of our poll
tical affiliation.
The situation is really quite
simple If we have it in mind,
and | am certain that a vast
majority of us do have it in
mind, to bring organized labor
home to its proper dedication
the long-term welfare of
those who work for wages
Through full and lOng-term
care for the very economy that
provides us with employment
and purchasing power we
certainly can't afford to sit
around just gripping and wait
ting for George to do what is
necessary to correct things.
There just aren't enough
Georges to go around. The
time has come for Bill and
Mike and John to get in there
and pitch. The job is up to one
and all of us - Immediately,
now and continuing.
And finally, when the day
comes for the establishment
and safeguarding by law at
state and national level of a
system of unionism that is in
all ways more decent and con-
structive than the brand that's
so rampant today, it won't be
merely because Bill and Hank
and Mike and John helped
George make known their de-
sires; it will be because you
too, played your part and voic-
ed your opinion to your SEN
ators and Congressman in
short, because You Asked For
It!

The tragedy is that all too
frequently his contribution to

action, not because it is ever

Consider well the picture of

his constituency may well run

upon his desk of a Monday

an important bill will reach

any of which even vaguely
