States Now Seen Forced to Discuss
School Placement Plan as Solution

virginia's Perrow Commits
sion report is being carefully
studied in the only four
States which offer total re-
sistance and an end to pub
lie schools as their only So
luton to the problem posed
by the 1854 Supreme Court
decision on schools.
The Virginia committees
recommendations, which the
Legislature is expected reluc-
family to write into State
law, calls for pupil assign
ment regulations and State
grants to the school districts
which wish to abolish their
public schools. 1t also pro-
vides local autonomy.
The Perrow Commission
did the massive resistance
States the further favor Of
concluding with these words:
1.-THE truth is that neither
the General Assembly nor
the Governor has the power
to override or nullify the A.
nal DEGREES of the Federal
courts in the school cases."
It generally is recognized
that the Virginians are not
integrationists. One of the
factors preventing public UNI
derstanding of the problem
has been the denunciation of
all those who stood for law
and for facing the facts as
undergraduates" and race
mixers" This was both I'M
true and unworthy. Many of
those most strongly support
ing segregated schools were
nonetheless too honest to de-
ceive either themselves or the
people who listened to them.

lack of honest communica-
ton between the political

he did not have the continue
ing support Of the German
people. Likewise. President
Eisenhower would not have
been able to persist In his
policies Of the last several
years had he not retained
the overwhelming support Of
the people as manifested In
poll after poll of American
public opinion.
Men may depart. but prin-
ciples live on. The policy Of
the United States toward
Soviet Russia is rooted In
bitter experience. Allan Dull
les, head Of the Central In
telligence Agency, said in q
speech at New Orleans yes
terday that Soviet agreements
ARE not worth the paper
they are written on" He
added:
Those who feel we can
buy peace by compromise
with Khrushchev are sadly
deluded. Each concession we
give him merely strengthens
his position and prestige and
the ability Of the Soviet
regime to continue its domi-
nation Of the Russian people.
whose friendship we seek"
There are all sorts Of
theories about the Soviet
purpose in stirring up the
German crisis but, while the
appeasers talk Of satisfying
the Soviets on the status of
Berlin. the Communists are
actively completing their con-
quest Of the oil-rich regions
of the Middle East. AS the
world focuses on West Berlin.
the real extension Of Com
munist power is going on in
the Arab world.
When viii the people Of
the Western countries awake
to the double game the
Soviets have been playing as
they diverted attention from
the Middle East by creating
a crisis in West Berlin? To
appease this kind Of adver-
sary anywhere is to increase
the danger Of a general war.

Eisenhower Notes
Fall of Botuun in
Cable to Garcia

AUGUSTA, Ga, April 9
(AP). - President Eisenhower
yesterday sent President Carlos
P. Garcia Of the Philippines a
message concentrating "the
indomitable spirit Of Bataan."
Today is the 18th anniversary
Of Bataan's fall.
THE bonds Of brotherhood
forged in the gallant defense
Of Bataan and Corregidor are
part Of the tradition which
unites our two countries" Mr..
Eisenhower told Mr.. Garcia.
Our continuing effort to
defend and encourage the
growth of democratic institu-
tons throughout the world Is
a corollary Of this tradition.
I'm this campaign, we will
together press on to win the
victory: Peace with honor and
progress for mankind"

declared constitutional by
the Supreme Court. 1t is
doubtful if many of them
even know of 1t. Even fewer
know that the same court
said that in areas with heavy
population no school would
be required to accept heavy
Negro registration.
The school placement law
is astonishingly specific. It
permits examination into
moral CHI aracter, family
background and scholastic
qualifications. A community
might be interested in at
least discussing these, and
other factors. Yet in the four
massive resistance States
there has been such a climate
of fear as to prevent public
discussion. To hold simple,
neither pro nor con, seminars
is frowned upon by the
power patterns in the COM
munities. One Of the saddest
features has been this abso-
lutte suppression of free dis
cussion.
There has been, and is, q

Increased Danger of War Seen
In ANY Appeosement OF Reds

Of the Western governments

unity. there Is q tendency In
the press to report here and
there undercurrents OF APP
peasement. These involve
criticism Of Mr.. Adenauer or
Mr.. Dulles or anyone else
who stands in the way Of APP
peasement.
There appears TO be q sort
Of ehoulish satisfaction ex-
pressed by the would-be ap-
peasers that both Mr.. Dulles
and Mr.. Adenauer viii soon
be out Of the way and pre-
sumably deals can be made
with their successors.
Nothing could be further
from the truth. Whoever sue
ceeds Mr.. Dulles as Secretary
Of State will be bound by the
policies that President Eisen-
hover has formulated. The
assumption that he was un-
duly Influenced by Mr.. Dulles
is part of the insidious cam
paign TO establish the point
that a change would have
been forthcoming long before
If the present Secretary Of
State were not at the Presi-
dents side.
Those who have adopted
that line Of attack will be
disappointed. For Dwight
Eisenhower has dealt with
the broad principles Of the
world situation a long time
now and will maintain con-
sistently in the future the
position he has held in the
past.

misconception Of what q
