4 Ark. Hi Schools Remain Closed

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, R = The four Little Rock high schools re- mained closed Tuesday and signs were placed on the campuses which read: "This school closed by order of the federal government" l"
 The move. to open the high schools as private but segre- gated institutions was halted. off cially at 8 a. m., when Dr.. T. J. Raney, head of the operating cor poration, declared a court injunc- tion made it impossible.
 Gov. Orval E. Faubus con- mented: "Asi long as the people stand firm a way will be found to, preserve our traditions and edu- cate our children"
 He said in the face of the in- junction, "Other avenues and means of providing education for the students will be explored. We think the action of the federal gov- ernment is illegal, but if the in- junctive action of the court IS made permanent, it will make our efforts more difficult, but not at all impossible"
 Raney acknowledged that the corporation was restrained by a court order granted in Omaha, Neb., Monday by two judges of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
 The judges moved swiftly at the request of the National Associa- ton for the Advancement of Col ored People to keep the school board and the corporation from proceeding.
 Raney issued a statement which said in part:
 Through the concerted efforts of the government of the United States and the NAACP, the Little Rock Private School Corporation has now been enjoined and pro- hibited from operating the high schools"
 Only few Negro employees of the high school and handful of students showed up in the drizz- ling rain for school. Apparently most of the students interpreted the terse statement of Supt. Virgil Blossom Monday night, that the Little Rock board would comply with the court order, to mean schools would remain closed.

Beauty and Taxes

Some time ago the Internal Revenue
Service handed down historic decision
concerning Marjabelle Young and sew
eral other good-lookers associated with
her in one of our local modelling agen-
cieS. Having in mind the fact that cor
porationS are allowed certain tax bene-
fits for depreciation of machinery, etc.,
these pretty ladies had appealed for
similar consideration on the ground that
slowly but surely, as they grew older
from year to year, their beauty was
fading.
But the head man of the IRIS,
after giving the matter great deal Of
thought, combined shrewdness with gall
hntry. He ruled that the girls would
always be beautiful and that therefore,
because Of the nondepreciable nature Of
this lovely asset of theirs, he could not
grant them the tax allowance they had
sought. Looking at 1t from narrow
economic viewpoint, one might suppose
that such a decision would have disap-
pointed the young models. But 1t did
nothing Of the sort. Instead, the more
they thought about the commissioners
Judgment, the more they liked it. Thus,
as Marjabelle Young recently declared,
How right he was! feel as pretty
as ever"
Clearly, unlike most stories involv-
Ing contentious tax matters, this one is
simple and pleasant. The IRIS has rea-
son to commend itself for display Of
psychology brilliantly calculated to cap
tivate the female heart and keep money
In the bank for Uncle Sam by decreeing
that beauty, far from being a fading
thing, Is ageless and unchanging in all
who have II.

1t was just 80 years ago that
tousle-haired Boy Scout named Paul
Siple was awarded signal honor for
his scouting achievements trip to the
South Pole with the late Admiral Byrd.
Admiral Byrd soon found out that Scout
Siple regarded the venture as something
more than lark. He became one of the
more Serious-minded and useful men,
bers of Byrd'S first expedition to Ant
arctica in 1928 Those who knew the
young explorer in those days are not
surprised at the honors that have come
to him in recent years. The latest Of
these is the Defense Departments Dis
tinguished Civilian Service Award, be-
slowed on him by Secretary McElroy
in recognition of outstanding service to
the Army in Antarctica.
Dr. Siple, now a worldrenowned
authority on antarctic meteorology,
geography, geology and other scientific
aspects of the ice-bound continent at
the earth's southern hub, returned to
his home in Arlington recently from
Americas Operation Deepfreeze. He
was in charge of an important phase
of Americas contribution to the Inter-
national Geophysical Year researches.
He is now a scientific adviser to the
Chief of Research and Development,
Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army. The
award he has received from the Defense
Department is a measure OF his value to
the Government.

It's latest note does nothing to sup
port the hope that the KhruShchev
government may be genuinely interest
ed in holding summit conference that
might really help to ease international
tension and promote world peace. In
stead, judging from the notes condi-
tions, the Kremlin still appears to be
insistent that such meeting be staged
in hurry, without adequate advance
preparation, and regardless of whether
or not it offers any promise of achieving
even small measure of success,
True, up to a point, the Soviet view
goes along with the Anglo-French-
American idea that there should be
preliminary diplomatic talks in Moscow
as prelude to further preparatory work
by session Of foreign ministers. But
unlike the Western governments, which
would meet at the highest level only
If the advance efforts actually promoted
1.-The possibilities of agreement" the
Kremlin continues to argue that these
efforts must amount to little more than
a perfunctory formality carried out to
decide on the time, place and compost
ton of a>heads-of government gather
ing. Further than that, the Khrushchev
governments new note insists again
that such conference must take place
even if the lower-level discussions are
completely fruitless in terms of opening
the way for at least a partial meeting
of minds at the summit.
AS the White House has made clear,
these are conditions that fall far short
of permitting the kind of minimum
preparatory procedure that the West
deems essential They are conditions,
moreover, that lend force to the grow
ing suspicion that the Kremlin's main
interest in going to the summit is not
to arrive at good agreements, but to
make propaganda. Premier Khrushchev
will have to demonstrate better intent
than that if he honestly wants to talk
seriously up there with President Eisen-
hover and other Western leaders.

the Legislature provided for even-year
elections. Senator Fenwick has ex-
planned that the records show that more
voters go to the polls in even years than
in odd years and that he felt that this
assured larger vote for the board
elections.
The issue of whether the elections
should be held in odd or even years
seems relatively unimportant in rela-
ton to the big question Of changing

gered terms, with its almost continuous
factional campaigning and strife, to
system that will give voters two-year

Buyers Outpriced?

Apparently Sentimen
against a tax cut is growing.
There seems to be widespread
recognition that it would
merely set Of another round
of imitation. and that any
such q cure for depression
might turn out vastly worse
than the disease. Obviously,
what we need is price cuts,
and tax cuts would do moth
ing to check the erosion Of
the dollar. There can be no
real economic stability with
out some stability of the
currency.
The record does not en-
courage the idea that cutting
excise taxes would help mat
tiers, except in the case of
the railroads. They are in
more urgent need Of relief
than most industries. and
elimination OF the tax on
travel might well be con-
sidered, if the railroads will
make a conscientious attempt
to build up their passenger
service. Unfortunately. they
seem most anxious to get rid
of 1t entirely; and II the
travel tax were eliminated it
is most probable that within
three months they would de-
mand at least a 10 per cent
increase in fares. The late
Daniel Willard had quite an
other idea: he believed that
the way to get business was
to reduce fares. and he was
largely responsible for a gen.
eral reduction in rail fares
years ago.
Returning 10 the record
on excise taxes. 1t may be
, pointed out that before the
theater tax was reduced the
top price in New York for at
fractions was normally $3.50
at night and $3.50 for matt
nees. with somewhat higher
prices for Friday and Satur-
day evenings. Now the nor
NAL top price at night is
$500 and at matinees $3.50:
prices Of SO or more are now
the scale for Friday and Sat-
urday nights, and one not
particularly noteworthy play
is asking a $500 top for matt
nees. Much the same else
where.
The real problem is the So
called administered price"
in other words an arbitrary
price. Unions seek wage in
creases TO keep pace: but as
increasing numbers Of would
be buyers are priced out Of
the market. business con-
tracts. and employees. includ-
ing union members of least
seniority. lose their jobs. We
have seen what happened to
the franc and the yen. Let's
