reason Of the nature, source

actions by the board looking
toward criminal prosecutions

aggravated rather than eased
the situation.
Moreover, the board might
have had a good deal of

persons causing the trouble

DAVID LAWRENCE

Abraham Lincoln and
Thomas Jefferson said the
exact opposite Of what the
six judges of the United
States Circuit Court of APP
peals in st. Louis declared
this week in implying that
popular opposition" to SUI
preme Court rulings could be
made the basis for court
injunctions. In effect, this
would end free speech and
free assembly once a Federal
court order was put into ef-
feet on an issue in public
controversy.
Abraham Lincoln said 100
years ago with reference to
the bred Scott decision
handed down by the Supreme
Court Of the United States:
IF this important decision
had been before the court
more than once, and had
there been affirmed and re-
affirmed through a course Of
years, it then might be, per-
haps would be. factious. nay,
even revolutionary, not to
acquiesce in it as q precedent.
But when. as is true, we
find it wanting in all these
claims to the public conf
dence, it is not resistance, it
is not factious, it is not even
disrespectful, to treat it as
not having yet quite estab-
liShed q settled doctrine for
the country"
In his first inaugural adj
dress President Lincoln said;
1.-THE candid citizen must
confess that if the policy of
the Government, upon vital
questions affecting the whole
people, is to be irrevocably
fixed by decisions of the SUI
preme Court the instant they

WILLIAM S. WHITE

These last days of summer
and of Congress to some are
days also of poignant fare
well to public life.
OF the six Republican Sem
atorS who are voluntarily re-
firing, two are leaving one
political place in hopes Of
entering other places at other
times. These two are Sena-
tors william F. Knowland of
California and William E.
Jenner of Indiana. Senator
Knowland, Of course, is run
ming for Governor Of Cali
fornia. And Senator Jenner is
widely supposed to have his
eyes turned, if diStantly,
upon the Indiana Statehouse.
Another, Senator Irving M.
Ives of New York, has long
and valiantly fought illness.
He will now fight his battle
freed from the heavy pres
sures Of oficial Washington.
His platform will be a simple
one: To recapture, not Office,
but rather health.
But to the three others Of
these six Senator's. their
good-byS to the Senate have
a special flnality. For over
these three-AleXander Smith
of New Jersey, Ralph E.
Flanders of Vermont and Ed
ward Martin Of Pennsylvania
age has won an inevitable
and irreversible victory.
And in the simultaneous
retirement Of Senator Smith
in his 18th year, Senator
Flanders in his 18th and
Senator Martin in his 18th
there is a curious vindication
of the law of averages. For
the three wings of the Re-
publican Party are repre-
sented with faithful precision
by these three old gentlemen
now walking together toward
the nearing end of the road.
Senator Smith is a member
of the centrist party faction,
which maintains ties alike
with Old Guard Republican
ism and the so-called mod
ern" Republicanism of the
Eisenhower administration.
Senator Flanders is over on
the Republican left-a liberal
or modern" Republican all
the way.
Senator Martin is over on
the Republican right-an Old
Guard Republican all the
way.
Thus, times attrition' has
hit the party with mathe-
NAUTICAL, impersonal fairness,
in striking down one member
Of each of its three wings.

resentative figure - among

NO ONE CAN guess the ex-

Orval Faubus is prepared to go in
his determination to prevent the
indignation of Central high school
in Little Rock.
For a time, the pressures on him
were relaxed. The ruling Of Dis
trict Judge Harry Lemley had sus-
pended indignation for "a years
and a long period Of easy drifting
seemed ahead.
But now the governor feels the
memorable pressures Of a higher
court. In ST. Louis the eighth US.

turned the Lemley ruling.
This is a momentous decision. II
means that the seven Negro chill
dren involved in the Little Rock
case are now privileged to return
to Central high school and that
there is an immediate obligation
on the part Of the school authori-
ties, TO admit them. But it also
