to do.
But We are not against doing
good, not against ideals, and not
against some of the magnificent
things a gentleman like Norman
Cousins achieves, such as rehabili-
tation Of the Hiroshima maidens"
and presently the Lady Lapins"

mentatlons in German concentra-
ton camps.
We ever share his love Of the
United Nations 50 far as that body
seeks to be an umpire Or aide IN
the competition Of nations rather
than an lmposSibIllty God playing
force for II world socialism over

whose cultural Influence is en-
HANGED by having d Slant, and
whose crusadeS for the good and

Some years ago when ! wrote
book review for Mr.. Cousins
magazine at the behest Of Amy
Loveman, 1t had more title and less
"ldealism."
II was The Saturday Review "of
Literature" and viewed both life
and letters with more dispasslon.
But IN these times when only the
dead are dlspasslonate. it Il good
TO have partisans who are fair and
live in the light, such as The Sattlr-
day Review in one direction and
the United States News in the other.
There are too many p~rofessed
nonpartisans Ike The New York
Times which have lost IN the heat
their tradition Of fairness. or like
Time Magazine which never had
one.
Blaming every move against the
South OF Republicans is as far
fetched as blaming it exclusively on
Communists. The abolltlonlSt spirit
Of New England Is rampant still
among elements Of this land and it
has nothing to do with parties.
It's all very we'll to try to hold
our hopelessly split National Demo
cratic Party together by pointing
the COPS many sins. But the fact
Of political life is that the Negro
vote belongs TO the Democratic
party and that this party is ready
70 sacrifice the South 10 hold that
vote.
Whether Republicans. proved III
capable now Of winning the Negro
vote, will WOO the South remains to
be seen. But the Free Democrats
Of the South. as | understand their
temper. mean to be truly free. No
longer will they stand without hitch
ing for the Democratic Party. Nor
will they come without concession
and c%alollery to the Republican
Party. .
All the non mdlces show
both South and West growing eco
1omlcally 0 at the expense Of the
North and East. But politically it is
the West alone which looms. not the
South. Why should this be-?
The answer is simple. The West
is free. 1t won't stand without
hitching or come without calling.
The interesting plan to have both
Protestant and Catholic Churches
conduct private schools if public
ones are closed ignores the sad fact
that many church leaders are per-
suaded the Supreme Court spoke for
God as we'll as the Constitution
when 1t ruled against segregation
laws. These could not be counted
on to support segregated private
schools.

Departed Friends

Sometimes think Of friends knew
Some forty yeors ogo.
And how the number Of these friends
Each year does smaller grow.
Like leaves thot foil when autumn comes,
These friends have fallen too;
Until today. these friend Of old
Now number very few.
AS we grow old, the yeors, It seems
Are foster in their speeding
As one by one our friends depart
And leave our spirits bleeding
When on the streets walk today
But few ore left to know
Of those who talked and joked with me
Some forty yeors ago.
Where many we're, but few remain
When forty yeors have sped,
Like ieoves thot frost in autumn kills,
Nov most Of them ore decd.
In heort teel some sadness come,
A sadness kin TO pain;
Because these friends from life are gone
To ne'er return again.
But maybe when my time hos come
And an called 10 60,
n Gods fair land. ogoin IN meet
These friends used to know.

racial integration by federal court actions,
the Atlantic. one Of half a dozen influential
magazines III the country. interprets the
action Of Governor j. Lindsey Almond, as
that of a defeatist.

close the schools as required by State law damned
through in response to Byrd's edlct. He knows that
the two laws he has now questioned IN the State
courts would be challenged i'll the Federal courts
by the NAACP and probably would be found un-
constitutional in due course
But Governor Almond knows that the politI-
cally powerful hard core Of segre9atlonists IN Vr-
glniaS black belt does not respect the Supreme
Court. to put It mildly. Hence. Almond reasons.
If the States own highest court declares the school
closing and fund cutoff laws unconstitutional ii

some measure of local option.
Almond is not saving anythine hke this pub-
Acly. But he knows that if the State Court KNOCKS

and he Will have publicly demonstrated that he
has done everything in his power to continue
Statewide segregation by all legal means. FOR AL

and encourage the degree Of local option nov bt-
ing exercised in North Carolina II would offer Il
way out for harrassed school boards IN other
states as they inevitably face The dilemma Of obey

In It's effort to evaluate the strategy Of
Virginia, the Atlantic has overlooked sev-

Salt and light were already
pretty old-fashioned when Jesus
was born. But now, almost 1000
years after Christ, salt and light.
older than ever, are just as neces-
sary as they always were. Some
things Jesus said about Christians
are hard to understand. But this is
easy even for children to under
stand. Christians. salt-and-light
Christians are never out OF date.
Science does not get rid of our need
for them. Suppose the dreams Of
the Buck Rogers crowd come true,
as indeed some Of them may in this
age OF space suppose that we can
extend the borders Of the human
race on out to Mars and who knows
where next? Salt and light will be
needed out yonder. And people will
be needed there to be the salt and
light Of the pioneers.

salt-and-light people in them. Make

Why. says Jesus. YOU are the
light Of the world. It's not your
business TO complain OF the dark,
II is your business to shine.
There r two opposite faults In
lighting. as every one who has been
