school 1t will be closed The blame
for this situation must be placed
directly upon the ruthless action
of the leaders of the NAACP.
Victim OF Leaders
The colored people Of Prince Ed
wary County have been the victims
Of their leaders. Their lack Of edu-
cation must be laid directly at the
door of those NAACP leaders who
have become the indignation en-
forcement agents for the Warren
Court
Since the NAACP is responsible
for closing the Negro schools in
Prince Edward it would be APP
propriate for this association to al
locate a part of its large tax ex-
empt income to aid the Negroes
in this county to obtain an educa-
ton In doing this the NAACP could
in part make .atonement for the in
jury they have done to these mem
bers of their race.
Knowing the people Of Prince
| Edward as l do, l am confident
that they are prepared to do every
thing within their power to give the
colored students of Prince Edward
the same education they have had
IN the past, in segregated schools.
The NAACP has won its law
suits and the Negroes have lost
their schools, operated IS per cent
at the expense Of the white people
Of Prince Edward.
1t is a tragedy for everyone ~
all because the NAACP deliberately
and mallciously forced this action
upon Prince Edward Prince Ed
ward has taken the only action it
could take. The county had sought
by every honorable means to avoid
this step 1t was faced with mas
sive Indignation. White parents had
taxed themselves. heavily to build
new Negro schools and the Negroes
had as many classrooms as the
whites Negro school teachers
were paid exactly the same as the
white.
The action that Prince Edward
has taken il coura geous and it
was thoughtfully and Well consider
ed They are true to the faith Of
their fathers
No Moderation
Those who expressed confidence
in the so-called moderation Of the
NAACP which is enforcing the in

note Of this ruthless action It has
taken against Prince Edward. but

khrushchev's Visit
Senator Byrd did not look with
favor on the approaching visit Of
the Soviet leader. He noted that
Congress was divided on the wis
dom Of the visit. Should one of
the hundreds Of thousands Of refu-
gees who have come to America
/ because Of the cruelty Of Com
munist Russia take a shot at Khrush-
chev. it might start third World
War" the senior Virginia senator
observed.
Il am one of those Senators who
do not believe he should be invited
/ to address a joint session of the
Congress of the United States. That
is an honor that should be accorded
only to those we can trust and
those who are our friends, such as
Winston Churchill"
Should a resolution inviting him
be presented. and | hope it will
not be. l will consider it my duty
to vote against it,"
Byrd warned that we must keep
our military strength equal to if
not superior to that of Russia. "As
a member Of the Armed Services
Committee, l tell you we must not
let our guard down.

THE Warren Court continues to

of Constitutional Democracy, which,
in the brief space of about 100 years
has made America the greatest Of
all nations.
