Viroiniu's NAACP Lows

The Supreme Court, in 6-to-3 de-
cision, has refused to rule on the consti-
tutionality of Virginia'S so-called NAACP
laws until after the Virginia courts have
had reasonable opportunity to review
them. This, we think, is both wise and
proper.
To be sure, this reverses 2-to-1 de-
cision by a three-judge Federal district
court And, judging from the tone Of
d dissenting opinion by Justice Douglas,
in which he was joined by Chief Justice
Warren and Justice Brennan, it is dis
tasteful to the Supreme Court minority.
Nevertheless, there is good reason
for restraint in asserting Federal au-
thority in this situation. For one thing,
the laws may be struck down by the
Virginia courts. At the least, Federal
issues should be narrowed and clari-
fed in State proceedings. This will
take time and it will cost some money.
All rights of the NAACP will be pre-
served, however, and, of course, the
Federal courts will retain jurisdiction
for final rulings, If needed, on Fed
eral questions. This being so, it is we'll
to curb the impulse toward hasty use
of heavy-handed Federal authority. II
problems of this sort can be resolved,
or substantially resolved, at the State
level, it will be better in the end for
all concerned.

A Chance to Reform

There Is reason to believe that the
proposed ''last chance" school program
for certain juvenile delinquents in WASH
ington would benefit both the Grant
students and the community as whole.
For the plan has met with marked
success in Boston, where 1t has been in
operation for the past 10 years. The
delinquency problem here does not ma
terially differ from that in the MasSa-
chusettS city.
During a recent inspection Of the
Boston program, Juvenile Court Judge
Orm Ketcham and the court psychol-
ogiSt, DR.. Laurence Frost, learned that
about 70 per cent of the delinquents
enrolled in the special school course
have changed their ways and remained
out OF trouble since graduation. The
figure is not just an estimate. It is
based on close observance of the former
students by probation officers.
The need for some such instruction
course for problem" pupils has been
felt here for some time. School officials
have faced the dilemma of what to do
with students who are diSrupting regu-
lar classes but who ought to be receiving
an education instead Of being committed
to an institution. Under the plan, as
approved by School Superintendent
Hansen and Judge Ketcham, private
financing viii be sought for f1ve-day-a-
week schooling program entirely sepa-
rate from the regular school curriculum.
Especially qualified teachers will give
remedial school work, crafts training,
gym sessions and group and individual
discussion hours.
DR.. Frost expressed belief that many
delinquents would settle down and con-
tinue their schooling If afforded final
chance to stay with their families and
friends, rather than be sent to reform
school or other institution. The youths
would be warned that the choice is up
to them-that any further infraction of
rules or laws might result in revoking
Of probation and commitment to an in
stitution under suspended court order.
With delinquency still serious problem
here-aS evidenced by the report to the
Youth Council of a rise in youthful
gangsteriSm in WaShington-the joint
plan for new attack on delinquency
is exceedingly timely.

THIS AND THAT

OF eternal truth.

There is more than one
kind of truth, evidently.
We can measure and weigh,
but the results are only part
OF the picture. What we
need is a new evaluation. and
in this search the most
ancient of created things, the
birds and some of the
animals. including the snakes
and insects, can help us, if we
will let them.
They are self-centered in
what seems mostly a good
way of life. In view of our
own unending destruction
and Self-destruction they
have no apologies to make for
the way they get their food.
We get ours much the same
way. though we disguise the
hunt in a million ways.

Transportation Needs

The Nations railroad and airline
industries may find moderate economic
encouragement, but no quick cash, in
the recommendation made recently by
two Federal agencies.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, concerning itself primarily with
the deficit record Of railroad passenger
operations through most Of the post
World War II period, proposed number
of possible remedies-foremost among
them tax relief and revision of labor re-
quirements work ruleS) that have been
under particular attack by the carriers.
At the Civil Aeronautics Board, an ex-
aminer recommended for IL trunk lines
fare increase Of IL per cent above
rates in effect prior to February, 1858,
or about 2 per cent higher than those
now allowed on temporary" basis In
each case, the findings represent APP
proximately three years Of study by the
two agencies and require even further
action before they can be translated
into cash income for either transport
industry.
In terms Of implementation, the
railroad package is the more complex
and less certain of attainment. The
proposed tax relief, for example, is partly
Federal, partly State and local. Action
by Congress would be necessary to re-
move the present 10 per cent excise tax
on passenger travel, or to grant sug-
gested Federal tax exemptions on saw
ings allowed by State and local govern
mentS. Revision of the controversial
work rules, now frozen by three-year
union contracts which expire next fall,
is an even knottier problem.
The fact remains, however, that the
record so painstakingly built in each
case shows clear need for a better
showing on earnings If the two carrier
industries are to be sound and strong.
Railroad passenger losses were estimated
at more than 5000 million last year and
even higher in 1857. In the case of the
airlines, under particularly heavy strain
In their efforts to put new Jet fleets into
operation, the CAB examiner said they
did not realize fair return in either
OF the past two years "by any reasonable
standard of consideration" He warned
further that "the danger point of flnan-
cial difficulties is at hand"
Meanwhile, it is unfortunate that a
Commerce Department study of all
aspects Of our national transportation
policy-requeSted last January by Presi-
dent Eisenhower, has not yet gotten I'M
der way. Pending some progress on this
inquiry, efforts should be made to imple-
ment the most recent agency recon-
mendations.

Let's Not Miss the Bus

The witnesses have had their say,
and the fate of the union reform bill
now rests in the unpredictable hands
of the House Labor Committee. What
manner of bill, If any, will finally
emerge from the committee is anyones
guess But one thing is certain-thiS is
the last chance; If the bus is missed
now it will not come by again at this
session of Congress.
One of the witnesses on the last
day was Senator Mcclellan, whose
Rackets Committee has exposed a
free-wheeling corruption within certain
unions which literally cries out for re-
form. He told the House committee
that If Congress fails to enact reform
bill at this session then God save the
country" He also condemned the ALL
CLIO leadership for opposing the bill in
the form in which it passed the Senate.
There is room for difference Of
opinion with respect to this testimony
from the Arkansas Senator. II Congress
fiunks this test, the American people are
not going to put up forever with cor
rupt, oppressive unions. And If this
Congress will not do its job, the voters
in time will choose a Congress which
will do it.
There is also reason, in our opinion,
for some understanding Of the AFL-CIO
position. George Meany Endorsed the
Kennedy bill in its original form. We
believe that he and his associates recog-
nize and support the need for reform.
In terms of union politics, however,
they are in a difficult position. Their
opposition to the measure in the form
in which it passed the Senate may be
dictated by a genuine concern as to
the direction in which this reform cat
will finally Jump. To say the least, no
good purpose would be served If the
position of men like George Meany were
to be undermined in favor Of the Hoffas.
If this is granted, however, the fact
remains that Senator Mcclellan was
right on at least one major point. The
honest men in labor cannot deal effec-
lively with corruption in unions which
they do not control. Hoffa and his
Transfers were expelled by the ALL
CLIO, but this has served only to
raise the prospect that Hoffa's position,
in combination with other transport
unions, may be strengthened. There is
nothing, really, that the AFL-CIO can
do about it. If the threat raised by
corrupt, gangSter-infested unions is to
be knocked down, Congress must do the
job. The courts may help, but only Con-
gress can really do it. This is why we
hope that an effective labor bill will be
enacted at this seSsion-even If it has
to be done over the opposition Of men
like George Meany.

Free-Swinging Politics

According to the president

merce. william A. McDon-
nell. the Nations leading
businessmen sh ould quit
thinking Of politics as a dirty
word and roll up their sleeves
and get to work at the pre-
cinct and county levels Of
politics"
And why not? OF course,
since so many of us business
or otherwise) indulge. there
must be a certain self-satis-
faction in sitting on our back
porches looking down our
noses at dirty politics" which
is permitting labor racket
GERS, spendthrifts, etc., to
control the country.
Labor organizers are al
ready hard at work in the
precincts. Surely, it would be
highly encouraging for those
who plug unselfishly along
year after year at the grass
roots level. hoping against
hope that the huge and dam
gerous power of the labor
boss monopoly can somehow
be controlled. to have our
leaders in business come down
into the arena and lend a
hand in swinging a few hard
punches against the things
they. too. deplore.
If they should occasionally
get a bit bruised in the
elinches. so what? Shouldn't
such marks be worn with
pride? Lila ID. Sonnemann.
