Topeka, Kansas
March Is. 1858
Dear Friends:
HAYES and | headed south this
morning. Went twenty miles out
into the country to attend pub
| lie sale. This was our first one
since we've been stationed in Kan
sas. / have never seen such a
stream of cars, trucks and tractors.
1t looked like all of Sussex Coun-
ty had read about the sale.
All the activity seemed to be
centered about the farm equipment.
This didn't interest me at all, nor
did it interest Hayes, although he
did look at a "puh" lawn mower
| (for our young, tender grass
when we have some) and at for
lorn wheel barrow. The first thing
/ found was an upright wall tele-
phone. 1t had a crank box, but
the two instruments were separate
and that ! didn't particularly like.
On the front porch was an upright
piano that l wanted to tell some
of my friends about, but we have
piano. Talk about a high boy,
they had the highest boy I've ever
seen. 1t was rather rickety and
needed lots of work. No old glass,
nor china l think maybe the heirs
had raided the household goods,
because there wasn't too much
there.
A poster on the front step ad-
vertised lunch" The list con-
sisted of hot dogs, coffee, pop, po
tato salad and pie. / was ready to
indulge, but Hayes reminded me
had put a quart of vegetable soup
out to thaw. Drat the luck! Many
women seemed to be looking in
the farm house and / thought I'D
better look, too" Hayes followed
me and soon did an about face.
The door opened into big kit
chen and women were buZzing all
over the place. My first impress
sion of that room was the smell.
They cooked aud heated in this
farm house with a wood stove. My
children would have said it smell
ed, Like the olden days" Women
were in the snug kitchen feeding
their children. 1t was a days out
ing for every one, all ages. On
the big kitchen table were dozens
of home made pies. Some church
circle was certain to make money
selling to that crowd.

NIXON'S TIMING

Vice President Richard Nixon's call for
a substantial across-the-board tax cut, if
the economy fails to show an upturn in the
next few weeks, was shrewd political
stroke. We do not infer that the Vice Pres
dent intended his move only as a political
one.
However, the political repercussions were
inevitable, and it must be admitted that The
Vice Presidents timing was masterful. The
Vice President must be given credit for sim
cere concern with the nations economic pro-
gress, and must be credited with making a
genuine effort to effect a recovery through
tax cuts.
Nevertheless, the Vice President stole
march on the Democrats, who had been the
leading advocates of tax reductions early in
the second session of the 85th Congress.
However, as tax revenues fell below expec-
tations, and defense expenditures were con-
sistently higher than last years estimates,
congressional advocates of a tax cut saw
the ground cut steadily from beneath them.
Although sentiment had swelled in Con-
gress, among Republicans and Democrats, in
favor of a tax cut, the Vice Presidents move
was major political breakthrough. More
over, his reasoning and his full statement
made a strong impression on newspapers
and citizens everywhere. The Vice President
is undoubtedly profiting from the wisdom of
not speaking out too often on major issues,
but having something to say when he does
discuss issues vital to the national economy.
But, more than this, the Vice Presidents
announcement was tip-off that the Admin
istration may have been optimistic in pre-
dieting an upturn as early as March. 1t may
be even hint to President Eisenhower him
self that the Administration must make its
anti-recession moves ahead of time, and not
follow events so to speak, with corrections
after the event
The President meanwhile, is waiting an
other thirty days before making final
judgment.

TOO MANY PLATITUDES

One of the reasons why the United States
fares so badly in the face of persistent Rus
sion pressure is that number of Americans
in public life simply do not think about
problems of foreign policy. Once again, the
issue of foreign aid is being considered and
debated. On televison, over radio, and in
the newspapers both pros and cons are say
ing the same things that were said year
ago, and year before year ago. and SO on.
We read and hear practically the same
words. Time passes, and we learn that many
of the men who represent us, vote for us In
our name, lead or presumably lead us have
scarcely hit upon new phrase or even
lesser used rather than an over-used plati-
tude In America today, at Harvard, in
Washington, at the Hoover Institute in Stam-
ford and elsewhere, we have excellent Rus
sian scholars who are studying and revealing
many phases of Soviet life and policy. All
of this appears like waste and irrelevancy
as far as some of our public men are con-
cerned.
The public must demand more serious
ness and more learning, on the part Of men
in public life, if better and more intelligent
debate and leadership are wanted. If the
public thinks that world problems can be
solved, foreign policy can be developed, peace
can be gained, and American security can
be strengthened by platitude, then the public
will get platitudes, many of them. But plat

A BIT OF COMPROMISE
There is controversy now over the ques-
tion whether presidential disability proceed
ures should be established with constitu-
tional amendment or merely by act of Con-
gress. The disagreement seems to hinge
mainly on a difference of opinion as to how
urgently the matter needs to be settled
Some persons argue that, since the Un-
ion has struggled along for 169 years under
the present, arrangement, there is no great
hurry about a decision. Amending the Con-
stitution seems perfectly acceptable to those
who hold this viewpoint, even though such
an amendment would involve long delay.
Those who believe the matter is too urgent
for that think there should be new legisla-
tion right away.
AS in many situations, bit of compro-
mise might be helpful. Why shouldn't Con-
gress pass law now, to provide for contin-
gencies in the near future, and also get con-
stitutional amendment started through the
mill? That would ease the worries of those
who want immediate legislation, and it also
would satisfy those who believe presidential
inability should be clearly dealt with in the
Constitution.

OF the conditions caused by nous
ing segregation. Seventy six flat
buildings have been cut up into
l6l units. Similar cases can
be found from coast to coast.
In our own Phoenix area, fiji
teen persons have been living
in a two room house. In Balti-
more in 1850 nearly 93% of the
Negro population lived in the
blighted area. Figures fromSAt-
lanta in 1858 placed 52% of them
in the slums area. -.,
Negroes have little or no ac-
cess to the better neighborhoods
where normal community growth
might occur. Islands of segre-
gated low rental housing units
have strengthened the very bar
riers which we daily go to bat
tie against. From north to south,
from east to west, the zones of
brown people girdle the poorest
and the oldest sections of any.
town. The quality of: housing is
kept much lower than the rest
of the city and the tenants are
overcharged. Building and health
codes are ignored while crime
and disease have holiday every
day. City planners are caught
in dilemma as they strive to
redevelop the slums.
A renewal progr am which dis
regards practical detectives,
public support, and democr attic
processes is : a failure before
the first rotten timber is removed
Several subcommittee on re-
location, publicity, and commun-
ity organization are needed. If
proper methods of urban replan-
ming are not used, new areas of.
segregated housing will be ere
ated or older areas will be re-
constructed.
Urban renewal commission
members will have to meet with
the families who care to be re-
located. They must do more
than sit in a conference or tour
the slum area. People and their
homes are more than figures on
"a map or lines on a plan. Any
renewal program must be an
integral part of the community
all must be concerned-those who
are planning. those who will be
reloc ated. those who do not live
in the area to be redeveloped.

program in this country. One does
not need a street guide to locat
the Negro families or other min
ority families. Near the heart
of the city, past the railroad
tracks or behind the city hall
sprawl the i'll l-heated, dilapidated
abodes of many low income per-
sons. All racial, cultural, or re-
ligious groups are represented.
The structural pattern of these
homes may vary according to the
locale of the city, perhaps east
ern tenements, midwestern du-
plexes, or southWe stern adobe
huts, but all spell out the words
of neighborhood illness and hous-
ing decay. SLUMS just don't
grow like desert plants without
assistance. SLUMS are caused by
neglect, Indifference, poor plan
ming, discrimination, and a mul-
titude of other reasons. On the
surface it would appear that the
Negroes and other groups who
are living in these blighted areas
are too lazy and dirty to car how
or where they stay. A careful
study will reveal that these min
critics have constant employment
difficulties, often they are sea-
sonal and spor adic workers who
receive smaller pay. At all times
they are under pressures of dis
elimination on the job or at home.
Decent housing units are usual
ly priced above their paying lev
els and after years of unconcern,
they accept any low rent area.
Many deep rooted myths about
Negros can be traced directly
to the housing problem. High
rates of crime are caused in
the overcroWded and unsanitary
living quarters of the slums.
Juvenile delinquency rates soar
not according to race, religion,
or creed, but the evils of indie
cent housing are the sources of
gang wars, teen age robberies,
and youthful dope addicts. The
Italian Americans were forced
to live in the ghettos of the
lower East side for gener ations
and these neighborhoods have
produced some of the most no
torious criminals of our times.
Jobless southern migran and
Puerto Ricans now are packed
into these same filthy apartments
while the nation is mortified by
the mounting crime rates of our
largest populated city.

sored by the Arkansas segregationists
against the State Press and the apathy
of Arkansas Negroes over the stand the
paper has taken in the integr alton con-
troversy, the publishers find themselves
faced with the choice of one or two things.
... give up the fight for constitutional
rights, or give up the business
The Press editorial asserted, we are
a little disappointed that the Negro as a
whole is Indifferent when it comes to
his rights. We find that as long as their
status quo offers a certain amount of
comfort they are. pretty content not to
be disturbed
If the Negro population stands idly by
in Arkansas while this newspaper folds
it will be a greater loss than we can
realize. AS the Bates purse strings tight
en- mightn't economic assistance be more
appreciated than medals7
The price of victory in Arkansas or
in any state comes high. The fight in
Arkansas is not for educational rights
alone. 1t is a battle of two adults who
have dedicated themselves to the cause
of civil rights. Victory in the courts
will not be joyous if the Little Rock
State Press is closed or if the Bates
are martyred while their neighbors and
other well wishers forget the great per-
sonal sacrifice they made.

and integr rationists are aligning their

sweet taste.
So much has been written and spoken
about the outrages of the Little Rock

tion TO the lives of Mr.. and Mrs. Bates,
the militant, cour rageous NAACP workers
and publishers of Negro weekly called
the Little Rock State Press. Their news
paper has continued a fight for civil
rights for many years in the deep South.
1t has been in hot contr oversy over inte-
grafton issues in the Arkansas schools

to the ground during a mob eruption on

the white businessmen who have been
inflamed by more hatred. An economic
