by A. MI. Judge

The nations press Is lauding
the smooth operation of the
Little Rock schools as the third
week of school attendance Is
entered. But what the press fails
to emphasize, is that the school
board in its obligation to operate
the schools in compliance with
the law disqualified 81 Negro reg
istrants 0 u of so to
attend the schools of their choice,
The school board in disqualify-
ing the Negroes, has stated
that it put into use the Ark
ansas Pupil Placement law to
hold indignation at a minimum.
The school board has done an
excellent job on that score with
the indignation of 6 Negro stu
dents with approximately 1000
odd white students. But consider
able speculation has been raised
among the citizens as to what
criterion was used in compliance
with the federal court order to
disqualify the Negroes, since the
board has put on record in the
courts that the schools operated
for the Negroes are equal in
every respect to those operated
for whites The law covering pub
lie schools states that
students cannot be denied admis-
sion to schools on basis of col
or But entering the third week
of school, the board has been
successful in its operation of to
ken integration.'
Carlotta Walls, who entered
Central high school Monday morn
ing. as one of the six assign
ed by the school board, brought
the attendance of Negroes in in
tegrated schools up to 5. The
other Negro student, Elizabeth
Eckford has amassed enough
credits through correspondence
and summer school studies to en-
ter college this fall and will
enter a college in Illinois. Eliza
beth and Carlotta along with JEFF
ferson Thomas, also enrolled in
Central, are three of the original
Little Rock Nine.
The other three students, all
girls, are enrolled at Hall high
school Their plight is much cas-
Ter than that of the stu
dents at Central. The reason is
that Central is the hotbed Of
the controversy, while Hall is

keep the Negroes out of the
school One of Arkansas su-
preme court justices Joined and
gave support to the group.
An evidence of the viciousness
of these segregationists came to
the surface when reporter for
one of the states most influen-
tial daily papers had his notes
taken by state police and order
ed him away from the meeting,
and a white woman reporter rep
resenting one of the worlds lead
ing papers, had rocks thrown at
her while discharging her duty
as news gatherer. And accord
ing to the woman, Arkansas rep
resentatives of law and order,
stood idly by laughing.
Therefore when the full pic
ture of token indignation is
brought into focus, the nations
press can elaborate considerably
and not be guilty of extorting
the picture in Arkansas.

The Tuberculosis Levy

The Noble County Health and Tubercu-
losis association announced their whole heart
ed support today for the proposed tax levy
which will be placed before the voters of this
county at the November election.
This will be known as the tuberculosis
levy and means an additional tax for the ben
eft of Noble county for the purpose Of pro-
viding an adequate amount for the support
of tuberculosis hospitals or for the care, treat
ment and maintenance of residents of the
county who are suffering from tuberculosis
at hospitals with which contracts have been
made or for the support of tuberculosis elm
les. ..r-u.--a-.
This levy is only in the amount of .06
mills for each one dollar of valuation in ex-
cess of the ten mill limitation which amounts
to 5000 cents for each one hundred dollars
of valuation for five years or sixty cents for
each one thousand dollars.
This would certainly be asking very little
to care for those SO afflicted in the county
and the levy would do much to aid the county
in meeting the great expense incurred each

Although the county board of commits
sioners and the Noble county society have
been meeting the expenses for years, success
full passing of this levy would do much to al
leviate the financial load now being carried
by the county in just this one department of
county government.
The Noble county society will continue
their work of sponsoring x-ray check-ups in
preventive program as we'll as bringing the
x-ray unit to this county at various intervals.
This work is of course financed by the
annual Christmas seal campaign and should
not be confused with the purpose of the pro-
posed tax levy
The Christmas seal money is used for q
preventive program as much as possible but
the money raised from the tax levy would be
used to care for those who have already con-
tracted the disease and must receive treat
ment at the sanatariums
This in itself amounts to a staggering
figure each year for the county and Noble is
one Of the very few in the entire state that
does not support the program with tax levy

as small as Caldwell could produce such an
outstanding precision band.
Of course, the credit must go to Director
Wood for he seems to have the knack each
year of coming up with something in the way
of new formation that delights the football
fans of the Muskingum Valley league. Then,
too, the eagerness Of each member is always
a definite asset and the combination is a
winning one.
Just how good they really are isn't al
ways realized until they step out Of this lea
que competition and appear in "big time.
Only 36 members strong, the precision

night and they are deserving of all the bou-
quets which are being thrown their way this
week.

Americans realized that Con-
greSs must act to curb the
Hoffas of labor unionism-and
they wired and wrote their
representatives urging them to
take such action.
It is quite a coincidence that
on the very same day Presi-
dent Eisenhower signed the
Landrum-Griffin bill that the
court-appointed monitors asked
a federal court to GUST James
R. Hoffa from the presidency
of the Teamsters Union, charg-
ing that he had mishandled
S675, 900 in union funds. This
three-man board of monitors
was appointed in 1858 by Fed
eral Judge f. Dickinson Let's
to keep a check on Hoffa's ad-
ministration of the Teamster.
The other Jimmie" who
came to the help of the Nc
Clellan Committee was James
B. (Jimmie) Carey, vice presi-
dent of the AFL-CIO, and
president, the International
Union of Electrical, Radio and
Machine Workers. This Jim
mie" is definitely not one of the
labor bosses at whom the Ian
drum-Griffin bill is aimed -
his record is a clean one. How
ever, after the House had pass
ed the Landrum-Griffin bill
by a huge majority, Jimmie
Carey made the sad blunder of
sending threatening letters to
the House members who had
voted for it. He hoped that this
action would scare the Sena-
tors into defeating the bill. TIC
show how badly Carey miscal-
culated, the Senate approved
the bill 95 to 2.
So thanks to Senator Nc
Clellan and two "Jimmies,'
rascals (including one Of the
"Jimmies') are to be oustec
from the labor unions, thu!
giving both union members anc
the general public a consider
able measure Of relief from
bad labor bossism and dicta
torship.

THANKS TO TWO
"JIMMIES"
BY George Peck

Monday, September Ia, 1859,
will be recorded in history as
a significant milestone in the
forward progress of honest,
effective labor unioniSm. While
many labor union members
already recognize this fact, in
the days to come all of them
(the racketeers and goons eX-
cluded) will look back on Sep
tember IA, 1859, as marking
great victory for them On
that memorable date, Presi-
dent Dwight D. Eisenhower
signed the Landrum- Griffin
Labor Reform Law, which had
been passed by both Houses of
Congress by overwhelming
maiorities.
While this legislation does
not 60 the whole distance in
protecting union members and
the general public from the
depredations Of racketeering
union leaders, it does travel
quite way toward that desir-
able goal. 1t does restore to
union members many rights
which have been lost to them
because of the dictatorial
actions of certain labor bosses.
Among other things the new
law:
Protects the union worker
against improper disciplinary
action by his union;
Guarantees the union work
er his voting rights in secret
elections;
Provides the necessary ma
chinery for the removal of
crooked union bosses;
