to political persecution and said
he had violated no law.
Attorney Charles S. Russell,
appointed by Judge Mccarthy
as a friend of the court" in
the case, said that more spe-
cific facts should be filed with
the court before the case is
tried.
Mr.. Russell said the case
probably would raise constitu-
tional questions of freedom of
speech and freedom of asSocia-
ton and that the charges con-
tanned in an April 81 grand
jury presentment dealt in gen
eralities.
Mr.. Russell said that further
legal documents should be sub

fore the charges would be spe-
cific enough for a trial.
He said a ''presentment,"
which differs legally from a

The grand jury presentment
said that Mr.. Rockwell carried

a threatening manner at his

children and adults at his home

and distributed "un-American

Mr.. Hassan said that he was
not concerned with what was

Mr.. Rockwell.
I'VE do not care what this
man believes, but his conduct
should not infringe on the

Mr.. Rockwell told the Judge

The
Rambler
Feels We've
Lost Something
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

TO him pho In the lore Of
Nature holds
Communion Nth her pistbll
forms,
she speaks a udrious Ian
gud0e.
These are the first lines Of
a brave poem about death
written by the i7-year-old
son OF a Berkshire village
physician in 1911. The boys
name was william Cullen
Bryant. He entitled II Than
atopsis," and he later became
a very successful newspaper
editor.
He didn't know more about
death, but II could be he
knew more about life than
we.
More than 100 years ago,
long before the frontiers of
knowledge we're pushed far
beyond the Milky Way and
far into the nucleus Of the
atom, Emerson and Thoreau
were walking through the
woods and fields about Wal
den Pond, near Concord,
Mass.-not often, If ever,
together.
Emerson was much taken
up with the wisdom OF the
East, the Vishnu Purana and
the Bhagavad-Gita which he
read in the Sanskrit. But he
could give you a good botan-
ical walk, identifying every
plant underfoot.
And Thoreau, who could

A TREE WALK has this
advantage over a bird walk:
the tree that puzzles you is
going to stay there. You can
bring some friend who knows
trees to look at it and tell
you what it is. Or, better
still, pluck a few leaves and
bring them to him. The
unidentified bird will fly
away and you may never see
him again.
The Rambler also had
some doubts about a tree
that looked like a young
black walnut. 1t was taller
than the sumac, which has
a similar feather-like leaf
arrangement.
But there was no doubt
about two small trees below
the house, growing in the
shade of locustS and black
cherry in blossom. They
were mulberries. He will
wait until the berries ripen
to determine whether they
are white or red mulberrieS.
CThere is also a paper null
berry from China which was
planted in the South when
1t was hoped to develop the
production of silk. The silk
worms eat their leaves,
They are the old warty-look-
ing trees with queer shapes
shading the sidewalks of
Williamsburg. Va
Then he came upon a very
puzzling tree. 1t looked
familiar. Leaf and bark
seemed to put it somewhere
between the black gum and
the blackberry. But 1t was
neither, and it wasn't in the
book.
The tree was on the prop
erty of a neighbor who came
out to see what all the ram
bling was about.
The Rambler, book In
hand, appealed to him.
"Oh," said the neighbor
that's an apple tree. There
used to be an orchard or
his hillside"

Mr.. Foller, an EmmittSburg

In 1921 Mrs. Foller went to

Mrs. Foller has visited %
States and Panama and would
still like to travel, especially
abroad, if any steamship line
would accept her passage.
"As soon as they learn my
age they turn me down." she
declared.
One desire Mrs. Foller has
no intention of fulfilling is that
of flying. She has consistently
refused to take a flight.

THESE THOUGHTS are
occasioned by this:

AAA6OG AAAOCOAAO oAS
occasioned by this:
The Rambler purchased, in
a supermarket of all places,
a 5O-cent paperback vol
ume, illustrated with beau
tiful color plates, on the
Identification of trees.
Yesterday he took a walk
with it and found himself
appallingly ignorant.
He had only to walk into
the little copse of trees
downhill from the house to
become thoroughly puzzled.
He can identify quite a
few trees, the common elms,
naples and oaks; the syca-
more from its notified bark;
the tulip, which is called a
poplar but really is a mag
nolia; the black and honey
locusts from the feather-like
arrangement of their leaves.
The trees were both in leaf
and in blossom, so 1t ought
to have been easy to identify
them. But there are so many
trees with leaves of the same
pattern as the elm-pointed
leaves. They are pictured in
the book, birches and beeches
fortunately, you can always
tell them from their bark
blackberry, hornbeam, black
gum, black cherry, aspens,
alders and others.
Soon the Rambler was hav-
ing difficulty in determining
whether a small tree he had
come upon was a black gum
or a blackberry.

For Desegregation Resistance

quarter Of the population Negro,
which had voluntarily accepted the
Supreme Courts decision to de-
segregate," Father Muldowney re-
ported.
The report said that academic
differences between the white and
Negro children was not a signifi-
cant factor in the ease or difficulty
of the transition" in the commune
ties Father Muldowned studied.
Another point made in the report
was that desegregation was more
successful in those places where
the teachers themselves had al
ready been professionally desegre-
gated.
Father Muldowney said school
authorities in the communities he
studied agreed that "early public
ity" of desegregation had an ad-
verse effect because it "compli-
Gated the situation and restricted
the decision-making powers of
those responsible for making the
change" He also found that local
school policies will be helped or
hindered by policy set at the state
level.

Some 200 sociologists attended

Father Muldowney's report said
peaceful desegregation did not de-
pend so much on the size of the
community, its population distri-
button or "even the actual proper
ton of Negroes to whites"
More important, he said, sis the
definition of the (Negro-white)
proportion in the minds of the
white people"
The worst climate for desegre-
CATION, the priest found, was a
"predominantly rural area with
few Negroes living in segregated
sections, and which had been forced
to mix white and colored children
by local court order"
