Delegate Fred Pollard introduced reso-
luton providing for a referendum at the
general election in November on two ques-
tons which stripped of their confusing
language would be Do you favor public in
tegrated schools or no public schools?
Those who follow this type of reasoning
are misleading themselves and others. The
dilemma will have thousand horns.
Under an Interpretation Of the Virginia
Constitution the General Assembly must
maintain an efficient system of public free
schools throughout the state This can not
be done under the Perrow plan.
The provision is incapable Of execution
since section 140, providing for racially
separate schools has been declared null and
void Therefore the provision must be re-
pealed.
IN the interest Of public education, peace
harmony and tranquility the entire Section
X. Of the Constitution dealing with public
education should be repealed The legisla-
ture then could establish by statute a sys-
tenn Of education, acceptable to the people
The people Of Virginia deserve the right
to vote on amendments to the Constitution
as provide BY the instrument itself, and not
resort to an unofficial referendum. The
legislature, in 1856, accused the u S. SUI
preme Court Of illegal usurpation Of
power, thereby illegally amending the T. S.
Constitution, and this same body proposes
to resort to referendum instead Of meet
ing the issue BY Constitutional methods.
\ legislature free to act can devise bv
statute an acceptable public education sys-
tenn Until it is free to do 80 programs of
expediency add only to the confusion.
10 save public schools to provide public
education, the present shackles of Constitu-
tonal requirements should be removed.

A Good Personality Has Many Sides

The young man recommending
David proceeds to say that he Is a
man Of war" This may have been
an exaggeration. in the light of all
the rest of the story Or maybe the
young man meant to say, IF You
ever need fighting man, just call
on David" David was the rugged
character we associate with the
good soldier. We have his own
word for it that he had killed
lions and bears with his own hands
c'caught him by the beard" he
saidD But David was smooth as
well as rugged. His friends calls
him prudent in speech" which is
more than can be said Of all young
people. But the climax Of the rec
concentration was: "the Lord is
with him" God is always invisible.
yet this young man was impressed
by fact which he could not "see"
at all: the fact that David was
never alone. God was always with
him. A person who makes that
kind of impression, and is really
that kind Of person, has a greater
certainty Of success than if he
were endorsed by President.

Thoughts For April Is

has long been 4 truism that high taxes
make people disdain the law. That has
been VIGOROUSLY the case in France. for ex-
ample; it is becoming increasingly the case
in the United States
Thus survey recently conducted bv this
newspaper showed that two out of five
American taxpayers interviewed admitted
cheating on their returns. 1t was not that
they used every legal provision to their adj
vantage, but that they deliberately short
changed the Government
Though such poll naturally doesn't pre-
tend to be statistically precise for the whole
nation, it is at least indicative of the mood
q quite a few people. Others, who wouldn't
think OF cheating. pay their taxes with an
noyance, anger or disgust
For the Government to create such q
mood IS bad enough; what is worse is that
the thing doesn't end there Excessive tax
alton breeds, in many people a disrespect
Tor the Government as a whole Moreover.
much Of what the Government does with
tax money invites both disrespect for Gov
eminent and the corroslon OF individual
morality
Consider the farm program. for one in
stance. People with a tradition Of self-reIi-
ance become Injured to accepting Federal
handouts. Some of them, oppressed by con
trolls, become lawbreakcrS. Meantime the
entire spectacle hardly enchances the dig
nlty Of Government. Because Congress re-
fuses to face todays farm facts the pro
gram resembles something dreamed up in a
madhousc And yet a good hunk Of the tax
dollar goes to pay for this folly
Similarly. few healthy veterans can nos
sibly believe that they arc entitled ID INN
merable Federal benefits. but they keep on
taxing them because they are available:
why not get what the others are getting?
For its part Congress. skittish of imaqined
political hot water, refuses to reform and
reduce the veterans program. AGAIN for
the pupllc at large, the impression is Great

Success Begins Within

Among the successful men Of
history, David the king of Israel
takes high rank There are al
ways reasons outside a man who
succeeds, helping his success.
Would Abraham Lincoln have
achieved his peak Of greatness had
he lived in l7th-century England
or In goth century America
Would John Calvin have the same
worldwide influence as pastor Of
any modern Presbyterian church as
he had in the Geneva of the six
teenth century, Would David have
made a good President Of the
United States? The answer in each
case is No.
Nevertheless, circumstances only
help on what is already there A
man without the seeds of success
in him Is not going to be pushed
70 a high pinnacle Of glory merely
because the times are Gaining for
a great man. Thus to find the Sc
cret Of David's success, as with all
other great persons, we must look

Pelrow School Program

MAINTENANCE of public schools in Viz

school program.
II the legislature would assume its duty.
take complete control Of the public school
system and operate it on a racially segre-
gated basis. Its members would carry
through the policies set BY this body in 1856
and endorsed by the people Of Virginia in
one on more elections. At this writing, the
State Senate has back tracked by ONE vote
and the House by less than ten votes. Viz
ginla is split right down the middle on this
question Certainly nothing is solved perma-
nently by the Perrow program The people
Of Virginia don't surrender principles by
ONE vote majority. and the problem Will
be with Us for many more years.

"Such Popularity Must Be

Samuel IS brings out the fact
of David's tremendous popularity
when it was at its peak Every
body loved David excepting King
Saul, who was mad with jealousy.
And no wonder. It would have
taken better man than Saul not
to be jealous. The kings own son
Jonathan loved David as his own
soul" He gave David his crown
princes robe, his armor, even his
sword and his bow and arrows. The
soldiers loved David. because with
him for leader they always won
their battles. The people loved him,
he was popular hero, nothing
was too good for him. The women
loved him and sang songs about
him. what killer he was Further
more, God was with him; and so
he succeeded in everything he did

Castro Can Learn From Nasser

The aspiring youth that fired
the Ephesian dome
Outlives in fame the pivious fool
that raised it,"
Before one young man as he tours
America now should be the picture
and plight of another young man.
Castro can learn from Nasser
about this business of doing bust
ness with communism.
He may just possibly learn here,
too, that rather than have com
munism established 80 miles from
Miami the United States is per-
fectly willing and able to choke him
to death-in an economic and po-
litical way.
This is serious.
The communism that seems to
surround F'idel Castro is still, ap-
parently, no pet Of the Cuban people
There is still time to pipe him
down, and hard. He needs econo-
mic help terribly and his people
would turn on him if he turned
to Russia for it now. no matter how
they might be reconciled to it later.
You wonder what dreadful mis-
play in this country has let COM
munlst minority infest a neighbor

that it is almost like having Dade

Is the world in danger Of being
thrown off balance by a rush of
young men to its brain in reaction
to long control Of now departing
e d ers like Adenauer, Dulles
Churchill, Eisenhower, de Gaulle?
Undoubtedly ii is because Of 50
many old men in World-poWer 50
long that we are turning to young
men. but the young men aren't max
ing 60 of it 50 far.
Nasser and Castro have tended
to stand for exactly what the world
has had enough Of.
The two don't prove there's no
need Of new blood as old blood be-
comes too tired for geritol. B i
they prove youth has to be watched
and not completely sold out to in
love of its enthusiasms and ideals
Those things can make youth prey
to both fascism and communism.
enthusiasm can capture it for
marching feet. sounding brass,
