THE NATIONAL SCENE
Men OF Moderation Take Over at Last

Once embattled Central High
School. now locked and student
less for almost a year, stands as
a bitter memorial to the tragedy
of Little Rock and the stubborn
ness of men.
The school where 1000 para
troopers of the 101st Airborne
Division provided an historic
bodyguard for nine Negro students
has been closed since last Septem-
Der by order of Arkansas Gov.
Orval E. Faubus. So have Little
Rocks other public high schools.
of the 2,700 students affected,
some 1000 have been attending
private schools and another 1000
in public schools in other COM
munities. About TOO are not in
school at all.
To many minds the real tragedy
of Little Rock lay in the absence
of any effective voice of moder-
alton in the community at the
moment of crisis that made the
city an ugly symbol of the violence
and race hatred of extremists in
the school Indignation controversy.
But for the abdication by men
Of reason of their power of influ-
ence over the community, it has
been argued, Little Rock need
never have happened.
Last week the long-silent mod
crates of Little Rock scored a sig
nal victory in their city's continu-
ing school crisis. BY a vote Of
13,347 to 1885 in a bitterly
fought recall election they ousted
three segregationists from the
school board and stopped a purge
of the city's school teachers.

Civil Rights:
Complications

No task of the current Congress
is fraught with more perilous po-
litical cross-currents than the eff
fort to write new tougher" civil
rights laws. The four Democrats
most prominently mentioned in
the 1860 presidential picture, Sem
ators Kennedy. Humphrey. Sy-
mington and johnson, could all
stumble and lose ground in the
treacherous footing of the civil
rights issue.
Lyndon johnson beat the adj
ministration to the draw early in
the session with proposal for a
civil rights Cancellation service,
similar to that employed in labor
disputes. An Eisenhower backed
bill would strengthen laws dealing
with obstruction of court orders in
school cases, extend the life of
the civil rights commission and
broaden the authority of the At
torney General to inspect election
records.
Both Democratic and Republic
can liberals want to go further
and arm the Federal Government
with more power to push school
indignation in the South.
The picture is complicated in
the Senate by the fact that the
Judiciary Committee, which nor
mally would report out a bill. is
headed by Senator Eastland, DEM
ocrat Of Mississippi, long-stand-
ing foe of all civil rights legisla-
ton.
In passing a new civil rights
bill two years ago. the Senate by
passed Senator Eastland's COM
mittee by sending the House
passed version directly to the floor
for action. Liberal forces hope to
make use of the same tactic this
year. Senator Humphrey disclosed
last week.

the Western world in the long cold
war was evident in the number
and ranks Of the dignitaries at

expressions from both blocs of re-
spect for his dedication to peace

The Rule of Reason

There is in the custer Of the
three ardent segregationists from
the school board, however, the
promise that what moderate lead
ers have called the rule of reason"
will return to the city.
Three new school board menu
bers must now be appointed by
the Pulaski County Board of Edu-
cation, which has given no indica-
ton of its intentions. If the three
ousted members are replaced by
moderates, Little Rocks high
schools may be opened in the fall.
If the new members are uncompro-
missing segregationists, the city's
school crisis may continue for
many more months.

expected that they will reach an
interim status quo" accord on

powers have legal rights in the

accord would, it is believed, be
enough to make a summit meeting

to apply the brakes to anti-Soviet

the formal sessions at the Palace

Private Conversations

The Geneva conference of for
eign ministers had. in effect. adj
journed to Arlington. The not UNI
expected news of Mr.. Dulles death
early last Sunday brought a recess
to the Geneva talks, which had al
ready become begged down in an
exchange Of unacceptable pro-
posals. Since all concerned were
fully aware that the foreign min
listers meeting was but prelude
to a later conference of heads-of-
state "at the summit" accord had
already been achieved on the in
auguration Of a series of private,
person-to-person conversations on
Friday.
Ironically, the trumpets sound

Mr.. Dulles was lowered into the
grave marked the "deadline" that
Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev
had set for a change In the status
of West Berlin. May 81, Mr..
Khrushchev had suggested, was
the end of the specified time he
thought necessary for a transit
ton in Berlin. The Khrushchev
announcements last November
and December precipitated the
crisis that brought about the
present Geneva conference. But
the Kremlin has insisted that there
was nothing of the ultimatum in
volved in the May q date. AS
long as there were negotiations,
said the Soviet leader and his lieu
tenants, there would be no show
down.
AS If to emphasize the point.
Mr.. Khrushchev took of for
Albania for a state visit to that
Adriatic bastion of the socialist
camp. In Tirana he found words
of praise for Mr.. Dulles. The late
Secretary's actions, he said, took
courage and craftsmanship. To-
ward the end of his stewardship,
said Mr.. Khrushchev. Mr.. Dulles
modified his previously rigid views
on communism and on the cold
war. He had communicated these
changed views, the Soviet chieftain
declared, in conversations with
Deputy Premier Anastas I. Mi
koyan during the latter's visit to
the United States in January.

The Issues That Worked

The issue that finally infiamed
the Little Rock moderates was the
recent firing by the segregationist
board members of A teachers,
mostly for "integrationist SYM
pathies." The teachers had been
discharged after the three moder-
ates on the board walked out in
protest against the tactics of their
colleagues.

Bearing the subtitle of "a

1t interprets the program of
scouting which since 1910 has
affected the lives of 33, 3,500,000
American boys and leaders.
The handbook is based on
fifty years of experience. Will
liam Hillcourt, its editor, is
known to two generations of
Scouts as Green Bar Bill in

N. Ross, credited for its design
ing and art direction, designed
most handbooks and manuals of
the Boy Scouts of America in
recent years.
The preparation of the new
handbook was done by these
two men, both former Scouts
and Scoutmasters and veteran
national staff members. They
consulted all the services at the
National Council office anG
many scouters.
Norman Rockwell, famous ar
tist, designed the cover of the
ned handbook. He began his
career as an illustrator of the
earliest issues of Boys Life"
more than As years ago. Each
year he creates the design of

5Oth Anniversary
Of Scouting Work

On the eve of its fiftieth an
niversary to be observed in
1860, the Boy Scouts of Am
erica is publishing the sixth
edition of its Boy Scout Hand
book. Its initial print order
l,050,000 copies-makes it one
of the largest book orders in
printing history.
With this latest printing, the
Boy Scout Handbook, previous
ly known as the Handbook for
Boys, attains total printing of
l7,600,000 copies since 1910. 1t
is reputedly outsold only by the
Holy Bible.
1t is this volume that intro
duced millions of boys to their
first knowledge of nature lore,
first aid, proper honors for the
flag of the United States, and
a wide range of know how
supplementing school courses.
