Temporarily Dead

The Public Accommodations Bill in Arizona's
House OF Representatives is dead for the second
straight year
On Feb. "a House minority bloc failed in an eff
fort to bypass two committees and bring the anti
discrimination to the floor for vote. The
BILL given do-pasS recommendation by the lnstltu-
tions and Municipalities Committee has been locked
in the County Affairs and Judiciary committees.
An overwhelming 1919 vote defeated the motion
of Rep. Arnold Elias, Pima County Democrat to
wrest the bill from the committees So there they will
stay.
Rep. Conrad j. Carson, Maricopa Democrat,
deemed the vote virtual death blow to the measure
He and Democrats Lee Dover of Navajo and William
S. Stephens of Maricopa said they in sympathy
with the bills purpose but could not support move
to discharge standing committee This the an
nounced viewpoint of several legislators
Elias said he submitted the motion because the
County Affairs Committee, chairmanned by Cochise
Democrat Charles 0. Boomqulst had met twice since
legislative hearing the bill but had not brought
up the measure for consideration.
What is the bill in contention? 1t is means to
make illegal the barring of persons from restau-
rant, hotel other public places of the like the
basis of race religion national origin 1t is cut
and-dried black-and- white matter. 1t is simply un-
American to oppose 1t.
It easy to see why the Elias motion failed. Such
motions generally do. Legislators the whole know
that the committee is the workpace of legislation.
They cannot be criticized for voting against the Elias
notion However, the situation provided many with
opportunity to assume liberal pose without hav-
ing to meet the acid test
Pressure against the Public Accommodations bill
comes naturally, from those who would be affected
by its provisions and these include large number
OF. hosteries in the Paradise Valley resort
Their pressure can be expected to cOntinue-even
though the problems of enforcement of the law
enacted, would be extremely difficult What the bill
would accomplish, primarily is to pronounce Of
fical state of mind which decres bigoed discrimna
ton.
The measure may be dead for this legislative ses-
sion. But it can be counted upon for annual reSur-
sovereign states which proclaim their stand for
democracy.

MACON, Ga. (JTA)-The pros
pect of real solution of the Israel
Arab problem was termed ire
mote" by William M. Rountree, as
sistant secretary of state for Near
Eastern Affairs, in public ad-
dress here. He said, however, that
the United States would continue
to seek some basis for a more
stable arrangement among the
states involved in the controversy.
Speaking before the Macon Civil
tan Club, Rountree voiced hope
and confidence that the United
States would 'be able to continue
progress toward achieving more
stable peace in the Middle East. :"
He said.
'THE TENSION between the
Arab states and Israel continues
to be one of the most complex and
bitter of the disputes in the area,
casting a cloud over the entire
region. The United States sincerely
hopes for the alleviation of these
tensions, and it has on various oc-
casions indicated the form and sub
stance of assistance it would rem
der to a solution. Although the cur
rent situation and attitudes render

and wife team had produced an
exciting first novel with its setting
in village on this very same bor-
der.
Here the "kibbutzniks, working
to reclaim the parched land, living
in primitive circumstances, were
faced with the daily (and nightly)
threat of Arab marauders.
The time was pre-Sinai-before
the Sinai campaign in which the
Israeli army finally cleared the
GAIA Strip of fedayeen invaders
and secured the freedom of the
Gulf of Akaba.
The authors present the problem
fairly. The motives of the Arabs
can be understood. The futility of
the United Nations observer"
group is clear. The over-zealous-
ness of the Israeli extremists is
condemned.
But out of it all, we come away
with a strong feeling of identity
with the Israeli defenders, believ-
ing in their cause, admiring their
Self-restraint, grateful that their
period of trial is over.
That is why we have such a
sense of urgency about the recent
news from GAIA.
That is why we hope so ardent
ly that recent activities on the bor-
der do not mean that these VIII
layers are again to suffer, that
their peaceful work of building win
once more be interrupted, that
their people will again be tortured
and killed.
That is why we hope that the
United Nations Emergency Force
can control the situation before re-
taliation and greater violence en-
sue.

unusually fine attitude or the I'M
migrants toward their new life in
Israel.
We are learning, too, about the
about efforts of the Israelis, who
subscribed to the voluntary immi-
grafton loan generously and now
face the probability of greatly in
creased taxes as well.
THE STORY I like best is the
one about the Druze (non-Moslem
Arab patrolman, who received a
So pound prize for meritorious
service with the Israeli border
police.
Sayid Assad is his name. He was
one of six to whom the annual pol
ice service award was made.
He returned the money to his
post commander with the request
that it be used for the immigration
loan fund in the name of his unit,
''in view of the urgency of the
needs" of the 100000 immigrants
expected this year.
Many such generous contribu-
tions are coming in from Ameri-
cans as well, because the need in
terms of human life is so great.
And while the money is welcome
and will indeed be well-used, it is
''the principle of the thing"-the
"verstand," the brotherliness, the
respect for human dignity-that
touches the heart.

FROM THE ISLAND of Majorca

The 63-year-old British poet and
novelist, famed the world over,
spent a fortnight sightseeing and
lecturing in the Jewish state.

that Graves was very warmly re-

whom he read his poems, discuss

lecture with the subject, What it
Feels Like to be a Coy"
In Jerusalem, he joined David
Ben Gurion at his morning consti-

and Aristotle, as well as Homer

D.c.Orders Dual
Drainage Lines

A regulation requiring that
all new buildings in the Dis
trict have separate waste and
storm drainage lines was APP
proved yesterday BY the Conn
nissioners.
The dual lines have been re-
quired for new buildings only
in areas served by separate
storm and sanitary sewer sys-
TENS. The building code
amendment requires separated
interior plumbing in all sec
tons of the city.
About half of the District
now has combined sewer sys-
TENS. In stormy weather,
domestic wastes are spilled in
to the streams without treat
ment from the areas where the
systems are not separated.
The amendment adopted
yesterday had been proposed
by the District Building Code

MINNIJEAN BROWN, the Cinderella girl from
L. Rock whose youthful American spirit resulted
in her not being wanted in Central high school
(See fotostat copy-pdge six) but who was well
coined in the New Lincoln high school greeted
by the city of New York, has just graduated
from the New York school, and is shown above
receiving her diploma and handshake from DR..
John j. Brooks, director of the ntegrated school.
In the autumn of 1857, Minnijean was one of
the original Little Rock Nine" for whom PreSi-
dent Eisenhower detached members of the IA
nous 101st paratroopers to Little Rock to quell
disturbances which resulted from Governor Eau
bus defiance of the U. S. Supreme Court and

Minnijean only sixteen at the time, and
by making her the target, does not mean that the
other eight had smooth sailing. They all caught
plenty hell - than any one person should
expect to endure. But Mlnnijean the most
spirited of the group, and even then she stood
up under several kicks, the pouring of hot soup
down her back hit on the heal with purse, and
many other epithets hurled to injure as well as
to insult. But when Minnljeans tormentors let
loose barrage of epithets which included mig
ger Bitch" Minnjean turned and retallated with
white trash, and this brought immediate ex-
pulsion for the 16-year-od spirited brovnskin
girl.
All of these incidents happened within the
school building while Dr. Virgil t. Blossom was
