The Fourth Circuit Courts ruling
in the Prince Edward County
school case does two things which.
we think, are unwise and which in
the end will prove harmful to both
white and colored children.
This ruling strips Federal Dis
trict Judge Hutcheson, the m n
closest to the scene and to t h e
people of Prince Edward. OF all
discretion. Judge Hutcheson. fore
seeing closed schools and serious
injury to the education of children
of both races. had postponed the
beginning of indignation until 1865.
But the circuit court at the request
of lawyers for the NAACP. has said
that this will not do. Instead. the
local authorities now face com
mand to start desegregation in Sep

appellate court said. No argu-
ment is needed to show that the
last delaying order of the district
judge cannot be approved. and that
it has become necessary for this
court to give specific directions as
TO what must be done In short,
a court of appeals. which has no
first-hand knowledge Of the local
situation. has taken over. Hence
forth. it will tell Judge Hutcheson
what he must do.
The second unwise aspect of
this ruling is that it undertakes to
require desegregation in county
which has insisted that it will not
integrate its schools. Perhaps this
is not properly matter of con
Germ to an appellate court. But it
should-and it will concern all the
people OF Prince Edward County.
Prince dWard is a small rural
county lying some so miles south
west of Richmond It's school popu-
lation is 81 per cent colored and
as per cent white. White parents
have made the necessary prepare
tons to establish private schools
for their children. Nothing has
been done to provide any schooling

schools are closed down. as most
probably will be the case if a |

What Washington Newspapers Are Saying

specific demand for enrolment Of
coiored children in white schools is
made.
This is dismal prospect. Judge
Hutchinson had found that Prince
Edward 5 schools for colored. in
terms of curriculum and physical
plant, are equal to if not better
than the white schools. The an
pellate court does not dispute this.
Now. however. IN keeping with the
Supreme Courts holding that seq
regated schools are inherently IN
equal. the issue is pushed to point
az which the colored children are
facing the prospect Of no schools
as the alternative to segregated
schools.
1t may be said, and it may be
true. that tn G Prince Edward
authorities would be no more ready
to accept indignation in 1868 than
they are today. Il may also be
true that some Kind Of schooling
FOR colored children, privately or
perhaps Federally operated. even
tually will be provided in Prince
Edward. In the short run. however.
the education Of the children will
suffer severely And even in the
long run the desegregation prob
lem will not be solved. This may
be justice-but in the Prince Ed
ward situation it IS a form Of JUS
tee which is singnlarly blind TO
the consequences that are being
visited upon those whom it is SIM
posed to help.

Way Compliment

TIIE retirement of Tom Allen as superin-
tendent Of Craddock- Terry Lion Brand
factory in Farmvile brought forth a two
way commendation. Mr.. Allen started
from scratch" when he came here in 1884
No one here knew how to make shoes But
Mr.. Allen did. He had learned shoe making
from masters in the trade. He began his APP
premiership at the Craddock- Terry factory
in Lynchburg as lad of Is years. He APP
piled himself, he learned. he became a SUI
pervisor, and when the time came to pioneer
in new field, he was chosen to establish
the Farmville operation. He succeeded and
when he retired last week he had built an
organization and had established work hab-
its and procedures which placed the Farm
vile plant first in the manufacture Of
shoes.

the General Assembly, however.
with the result that local assign
ment legislation does not take e.
feet until next March.
Obviously, SO far as the protec-
ton of legal rights Of Negro APP
plicants is concerned. the Circuit
Court is correct But a question
arises whether this is the most eff
fective way actually to secure these
rights in practice.
The probably outcome in Prince
Edward County is clear. Organiza-
tons to operate private schools for
white students are already in ex-
istence. The state responsibility to
maintain public schools remains.
but 1t is evident that in Prince Ed
ward County these will be schools
for Negroes only, with the result
that virtually complete segregation
will be continued. Technically this
may be some advance. but it may
we'll be a pyrrhic victory for
long time.
P h a p S in this instance the
Court of Appeals had no real
choice 1t had to deal with the suit
before it. Judge Hutcheson's leni-
ency may have had poor legal
grounding impossible to justify
with the requirements Of the SUI
preme Court for good faith efforts
at compliance. Nevertheless, III G
Supreme Court has emphasized
flexibility, and in some situations
too narrow an Interpretation can
impair the larger purpose.
Such reservations cannot Of
course change either the legal OBJ 7
legations or the ultimate futility of
defiance. But as general rule this
newspaper believes that ! where
there is opportunity for selectivity
it is mistake to tackle the tough
est desegregation problems first.
Some communities in Virginia al
ready have carried out successful
desegregation: other no doubt will
begin soon. Obviously of course of
gradualiSm requires OccaiOnal prod
ding, but it seems to us that the
most productive way to encourage
general compliance is through the

Washington, D. c., May ~
Economy forces in Washington
were heartened by the congress
sional action sustaining President
Eisenhower veto Of the Rural
liberalization Administration bill.
T h e. regarded it as a highly
significant indication that Mr.. Eli
senhoWer will be able, by use Of
his veto power. to kill legislative
proposals for irresponsible spend
ing which might be approved by
the Senate and the House.
A death by veto also was gen
orally believed to be in store for
other types of drastic legislation
which might run the congressional
gauntlet over Administration OBJ
jections.
Thus far. Mr.. Eisenhower has
vetoed 1873 bills passed by Congress
since he entered the White House
and not once has his veto been
overriden by the required W o.
thirds vote of both the Senate and
the House.
His REA victory was by the mar
rowest margin to date The Sen
ate voted. "a to %. to override. This
was two more than the required
tWo-t thirds. But the House vote was
$50 to l46-four short Of two-thirds
and Mr.. Eisenhower's action was
sustained.
The controversy over the REA
measure. which would have de
prived Secretary Of Agriculture
Benson Of his present authority tc
approve or disapprove loans made
by the REA Administrator. was
considered relatively unimportan,
in itself.
1t was generally recognized as 8
political attack on Secretary Ben
son and nothing more.
But the vote was looked upon as
an all-important test between Presl
dent Eisenhower and the New Deal
ers in Congress, and as possible
signal to the fate Of legislation pro
viding federal aid for airport anc
housing construction and for econo
mically depressed areas.
