er-and responsibility to go with
it.
Some less sweeping versions Of
Section III were discussed at the
time it was beaten in 1857 and
could presumably be revived. For
example, the Justice Department
could be given the power to in
tervene legally to help a school
district or locality in difficulty
over the segregation problem.
With these and other legislative
possibilities the central question
remains: Would the game be
worth the candle?
The argument for legislation as
a general proposition is that the
South might be more prepared to
accept Indignation if the principle
had the specific approval of Con-
gress. Governor Collins indicated
that this was his reason for urg-
ing Congressional action.
But no one here believes that
the Collins statement promises any
lessening of the deep, the bitter.
the implacable Southern opposition
that would face any effort to leg
islate in support of integrated
schools.
Suppose legislation got to the
Senate floor and was eventually
crushed in a successful Southern
filibuster. The effect would al
most certainly be to strengthen
the argument of the South that
Congress has not approved inte-
grafton.
Or suppose a bill were pushed
through after lengthy and
poisonous parliamentary struggle.
The very act of legislating might
intensity and harden opposition in
the South.
These are some of the thoughts
now going through the minds of
Administration officials who are
considering-in at least theoret-
ical way-the desirability of new
civil rights legislation.
In the view of those officials
there is only one real way to make
the Supreme Court decision work
persuade the people of the South
to accept it.
But the Justice Department has
by no means concluded that some
legislation might not be useful in
this direction and at the same
time, on balance, worth risking the
legislative battle it would preci-
plate.
Two persons may perhaps make
the critical decisions on whether
to make the Eighty-sixth Congress
civil rights forum. They are
William P. Rogers and Lyndon b.
Johnson.
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1958-10-04

Attorney General Rogers held
off, after passage of the 1857 act,
on asking for new legislation. His
publicly expressed position has
been that the Administration
should not endorse civil rights bills
unless there is a serious chance
of their passage.
Mr.. Rogers would, of course,
have to obtain President Eisen-
hower's approval for a legislative
proposal, but he probably can get
that for any bill he would suggest.
If he does come forward with leg
islation, it will in all likelihood be
moderate, carefully worked out
and with a legislative strategy for
passing it ready.
Senator Johnson is a Texas DEM
ocrat, but that by no means is
the only fact that will move him

on the civil rights issue.
He is Senate majority leader,
with a strong sense that his party
should be able to match the Re-
publican Administration in respon-
sibility and performance. His first
instinct would be to find some
way of easing passions and pass
ing a compromise bill without
nerve-tearing filibuster. He acn-
ieved this goal in 1857.
And Senator Johnson is at least
a potential candidate for President
in 1960-some think much more
than potential. If the liberal DEM
ocrats gain in the election this
fall, as seems likely, many see his
future as a national political fig
ure tied to some legislative ac-
complishment on the school segre-
cation problem.

Politically, these ditties never
rise above the level of "moon-June"
couplets. Politically, they make
partisan point with subtlety and
an exuberant mambo beat.
The lyrics are sung by an un-
identified civil servant with a rich
bass voice and potential audience
of more than 21,00O,000 African
listeners. He is accompanied by
Latin-American band replete
with bongo drums, congo drums,
wailing trumpets and maracas.
One side of the ten-inch record
is called clarifying the Situation"
The lyrics, presumably not copy
righted are:
Government asks us to vote
So as to build the community.
Shall it be yes, or shall it be no
So as to clarity the situation
In justice to the lyricist, also
unidentified, it must be said that
the calypso-style chant loses con-
siderably in translation. The French
pronunciation permits the word
mo" to rhyme with situation"
The second verse is: Shall it be
no, or shall it be yes? When one
gets married, what he must say
it Eyes"
Tune Called yes or No
The other side of the record of
fers more music and more oblique
approach to politics. The title of
the tune is eyes or No."
Tell me, tell me yes or no,
When choosing between yes
and no.
Better the yes, better the yes
than the no.
At tbs point the record ends
with a resounding roll of conga
drums. The results seem certain
to sway the voters if not their
votes.
The records have already prompt
ed newspaper comment. One Paris
newspaper, LIE Monde, said France
was offering "new songs to young
peoples, songs to revive their fl
deity, and high fidelity at that"

is the purpose and usefulness of
any particular proposal, assuming
that it could pass. The other is
the problem of getting it passed.
and what new sores might be
caused by trying to pass it.
Governor Collins essential pro-
posal was for the appointment of
commissions in every state to work
out a timetable and pattern for
ending school segregation. The
commissions would be appointed
by the President with the advice
and consent Of the state Governors.
Behind this suggestion, the Gov
ernor said, was his feeling that
school boards and Federal District
Courts in the South are just not
equipped to do the job of planning
desegregation. They are the agen-
cies to which the Supreme Court,
in its implementation decision Of
1855, gave the job.
The Governor said his idea would
allow some areas to go faster than
others, pacing Indignation to local
conditions.
But that is precisely the concept
that lay behind the Supreme Court
decision = augmentation, accord
ing to local conditions. And, as a
general matter, things have work.
ed out that way. The most resist
ant Southern areas have not been
touched, while the pressure has
built slowly against the fringes.
The first reaction here was that
Governor Collins commissions
would add little that could be
helpful to the augmentation pro-
cess. There are few in the Justice
Department who believe the basic
responsibility for the process
should be taken away from local
school boards and courts.
That same objection applies to
any proposal that would have a
Federal agency undertake the job
of planning desegregation around
the country. Such a provision was
included in a new civil rights bill
proposed by group of liberal
Senators last session.
The liberal group also suggested
Federal grants to help localities
that sincerely try to make the ad-
justment to on-discriminatory
school system. There was a spe-
cific proposal to give localities
Federal funds to replace any state
funds Withheld as a result of inte-
gration-a meaningful provision
in view of various state fund with
drawal laws.
Still another approach is the
one Congress removed from the
Civil Rights Act Of 1857 before
passing it. This was Section III,
authorizing the Attorney General
to institute suits to enjoin state
discrimination in schools as we'll
as other areas covered by the Fed
eral Constitution.
At present the Federal Govern
ment is limited to entering, in
an advisory capacity, suits start
ed by others. Anything like Sec
ton III would give the Govern
ment enormous new initiating pow

Navy Studying Vanguard Data
Seeking Cause Of Rocket Failure

Air Force has told the Defense
Department it believes it could
launch a thousand-pound space
vehicle by next June. The Air
Force would use its Thor Inter
mediate Range Ballistic Missile
for such a launching.
Earlier this week, Army SCENT
lists - who have launched this
country's only successful orbit
ing earth satellite-Were reported
proposing to send aloft an instru-
ment-laden vehicle weighing up
to 700 pounds. This big satellite,
proposed for firing before the end
of the year, would be intended to
gather data for building a space
station.
Project Vanguard headquarters
at the Naval Research Laboratory
gave a preliminary explanation of
the Navy's second failure.
It said the 72-foot 11-ton Van
guard, carrying a six-inch test
satellite, took off normally"
from Cape Canaveral. For 81
seconds everything was fine. But
then
Between the 57th and 6Oth Sec
onds after takeoff, small irregu-
larities occurred in the first-stage
engine control system. After the
Goth second a failure in the con-
troll system caused the engine to
defect far to the right, and the
resultant abnormally high forces
caused the rocket to break in the
middle.
The test range Safety officer
then pushed a button and the
whole rocket was destroyed.
Some parts fell into the Atlantic
Ocean but others dropped to the
grassy shore.
Salvaged particles are now
being studied, along with movies
and instrument readings, to get a
more accurate idea Of what went
wrong with the three-stage We

CHICAGO, Up - Accidents in
the United States last year killed
$4,000 persons and injured 91s
million others and resulted in an
economic loss of nearly IL bill
lion dollars.
The National Safety Council,
which announced the figures said
the accident death rate of 55.8
per 100000 population was the
lowest on record
The number killed in accidents
last year compared to 94,780 in
1856 when the death rate was
SGT. The council said that one
out Of every 500 persons in the
country suffered a disabling in
jury last year.
Motor vehicle accidents, which
accounted for $500 deaths last
year, retained the traditional role
as No. l killer. The 1856 toll was
1898.
Deaths in home and work acct
dents declined from 1856.
The estimated economic loss
of $4,000, 100000 included wages
lost, medical expenses, overhead
cost of insurance for all acct
dents, production delays, damage
to equipment in work accidents
and damage from traffic acct
