Foreign Policy Indecision

AFTER announcing that this country
: would resume flights above an alti-
tude of ten thousand feet to Berlin,
over the corridors to Berlin, it is now
said in Washington that such flights
will not be resumed until another
meeting between representatives of
Great Britain, France and the United
States is held.
1t was assumed = when the an
nouncement was made = that Wash
ington had satisfied Paris and Lon
don, and that the decision was one of
joint agreement. Now, it is indicated,
hesitations on this policy are being
voiced in at least one capital - Lon
don.
1t will be remembered that last
year, when the United States was
proposing the same thing. London
was more cautious, and suggested
that the United States not provoke
any new incidents by flying aircraft
into Berlin, in the corridors, at alti-
tudes of better than ten thousand feet.
The United States finally bowed to
this suggestion, but when it was an
nounced in Washington recently that
we would send planes in at the higher
altitude, it was assumed that prior
agreement with London and Paris
had been reached.

Just A Comment

Editor, The Farmville Herald:
am not at all acquainted
with Mr.. John Temple Graves,
nor do l know what he repre-
sentS more than just having
read his column on Individual
Personalized Faith. Seemingly,
he has a good thought in refer
ence to Image in Terms of a
Man. But then he goes on to
refer to Martin Luther King as
not being a Man of God.
Quite frequently we are con-
fronted with persons who have
used God and the Bible for all
forms of exploitation upon their
weaker Brethren, and they are
always willing to accept from
such individuals anything that
might assist them TO be secure
in any respect, financially or
otherwise. However. as soon as
this has been accomplished such
individuals may be criticized
after they have given that which
they actually need to such cul-
prit. These tricks have become
part Of the more progressive
type of individual, and SEEM
ingly it has been made an I'M
written law by its constant use
in our Great America.
In reference to Martin Luther
King and his evaluation, we
would have to consider first the
one who is passing judgement
as to who is what. There are
number of persons who are not
qualified to judge other persons.
or to formulate any opinion of
others. If such individuals would
like to be fair in serving those
that may be touched by COM
ments made in regards to others,
then t hey should seek to &C
quaint themselves with the ma
turc Of the entire situation.
should like to say that Mar
tin Luther King or any other
person who sets out tn assist his
weaker and more ignorant
brothers IN mount SOME Of the
great obstacles Of life. that he
has been confronted with, for
his natural life. and who bases
it on religious leadership. or
any other form Of leadership,
whether he be Of any particular
denomination be is truly a Man
Of God. l feel that he will be
found sitting around the Throne,
that all Of our good Brethren
preach we live to inherit. Ger
tainly. if there were others who
would do similar. far more
would be found sitting around
the Throne Of God on that Great
Resurrection Day.

Our Far Back Ancestors

Could we look back thousand years
And our ancestors see,
| wonder just what kind of folks
a lot Of them would be-
While most Of us con troce them back
A century more,
But further back, we little know
OF those who lived before
If now we could meet all Of them
And hear them one BY one
Tell US about the lives they lived
And OF the things theyd done,
IT oil OF them were truthful folks.
From them we'd learn to know
The kind Of blood, both good and bad,
lhot in our veins does flow.
No doubt we d leorn thot some of them
Were men of sterling worth,
Who spent their lives in doino GOOD
While they lived here on eorth
And some perhaps, we're soldiers brave
Back in the days Of old,
And some OF them, hove no doubt,
VI. Mere knoves or pirates bold
a lot OF them were forming men,
And Just as like as not,
Some preachers, smiths and artisans
Were scattered through the lot
It's sofe bet thot some Of them
Spoke in q foreign tongue
And moybe, it the truth we're known
A few Of them we're hung
Our women kin we'd learn about
Back through thousand yeors;
Just how they lived and what they did,
Their laughter and their tears.
But while we cannot toIk with them
And their histories know.
We know the blood now in our veins
Once through their veins did flow
We cannot change the strains Of blood
That flow in you and me,
But let US hope it may improve
IN our posterity

You can only remind yourself

You can only tell yourself that

WHAT WAS MOST SHOCKING
about Martin Luther Kings pull
pit appearance at Princeton is
that it should have come at a
time when he has avowed that
Negroes must be ready to fill
all the jails in the South" and
his leadership in the organized
law-breaking ard police defiance
prove the avoWal to have been
made in earnest. He is not en-
titled to be called a man of peace
or man Of God either. His
pious expressions continue but he
is nevertheless the leading indi-
vidual now in a move that has
brought South wide violence
nearer than anything that has
gone before.
Far from continuing the adj
vancement of his race he may
have reversed it now. The race |
has come to a point where Con-
gress and the Courts and the
10lSt Airborne have done all they |
can do Further advancement is
going to depend on good will be-
tween white and colored in the
South.
And rivers and seas of that
have been washed away in the
last few weeks.
PRINCETON HAS A LARGER
percentage of Southern students
than any other Ivy institution.
The fact does not entitle the
South to favoritism there but
surely it entities to fair repre-

On October 10, 1859 the Supreme Court
refused to hear the appeal, which in
effect upheld the decision of the Appel

about that.
In the meantime the Prince Edward

refused to provide county funds for
integrated public schools. There is no.

for Prince Edward white youngsters
financed by voluntary contributions in

of interested white citizens to aid and

organization would remain in effect so
as to offer aid in the future SO far as
we know the offer holds good for the
coming year There is nothing confus-

Prince Edward white citizens have
said in no unmistakable manner that
they will not support racially inte-
grated public schools. Prince Edward
Negro leaders have shown that they
will support only racially integrated
public schools. There is nothing con-
fusing about that.

Voluntary School Segregation

OUR correspondent, Dr. Marvin w.
- Schlegel, for the second time within
month suggests voluntary segrega-
ton of public schools in Prince Edward
county.
In light of the expressed purpose of
the NAACP, the opinions and orders
of the federal courts and the local
leaders of the Prince Edward Christian
Association it is futile and foolish to
even think that voluntary segregation
could be accomplished, or that public
schools in this county can be reopened
except they be racially integrated.
The current school crisis has not be-
come confused Negro leaders and some
agitated Negro citizens, aided by the
NAACP began in 1851 to contend in
state and federal courts and finally
the U. S. Supreme Court for racially
integrated public schools in this county
The Supreme Court decided the case
on May II, 1854, and supplemented the
decision on May 81, 1855. To May 1859

OF the county on a non-racial basis . .
and to take immediate steps to the

term beginning September 1859, etc.
Attorneys for the Prince Edward

the order in July. On July 26, the Su-
preme Court denied the request for a
stay. Attorneys then made direct APP

By the Associated Press

The Government yesterday
published a special guide tt
dispel some Of the confusion
surrounding the vast array oi
man-made miracle" fibers.
The Agriculture Department
prepared the guide. called
Clothing Fabrics-Facts fol
Consumer Education" because
of a new law which requires
special labelling of textile prod
ucts. Copies are available from
the Government Printing Of
flee at rs cents each.
Enforcement of the law
which affects all textile items
manufactured after March 8
is the responsibility of the Fed
eral Trade Commission. The
FTC must see that textile prod
ucts carry labels listing the
names of fibers in the product
and the percentage of each.
More important, all artificial
f1bers must be identified by
Of Is names, although there
are more than 700 different
trade names for such flbers.
The FTC developed the list last
year and said all 700 trade
products fit into one Of the 16
categories.
Strengths Are Described
For example, such synthetics
as Dacron, Kodel, Vycron and
Teron are all considered poly
ester f1bers. Under the law,
any product containing these
must bear a label which lists
polyester. Trade names may
also be used in this fashion
"Dacron polyester."
To acquaint consumers with
the Is names which will be
used on labels. the agriculture
guide lists each and gives its
principal characteristics.
The guide says all acrylic,
modacrylic, polyester and nylon
fiberS have these qualities in
common: They are strong and
resilient, resist moths and mil
dew, are sensitive to heat "a
cool iron should be used for
pressing, resist shrinking or
stretching, are easy to wash,
dry quickly. retain pleats, resist
non-oily stains but fall prey
to perspiration and tend to ac-
cumulate static electricity in
dry, cold weather.
Made Mostly of Chemicals
Ten OF the Is flbers are made
entirely of chemicals and, the
guide said, contribute these
properties to textile products if
a large enough proportion is
used:
Acrylics - Add body and
springinesS to fabrics of wool,
cotton and synthetic, have a
silky texture, resist wrinkling
and damage by acids and weak
ening by sunlight, weathering
or industrial fumes.

NEW YORK, Nov. II (AP)
Retail trade volume across
the Nation during the week
ended Wednesday ranged from
3 per cent below to l per cent
above the comparable 1853
week. Dun & Bradstreet, Inc,
reported today.
The weekly summary showed
sales Of apparel. new passen-
ger cars and food products
matched or slightly exceeded
a year ago while furniture, ma
jor appliance. floor covering
and linen sales declined.
Dun & Bradstreet noted that
the comparable 1859 week did
not include election day. The
current week did and many re-
tail outlets conducted special
promotions.
Although purchases Of wom-
ems clothing moved up slightly
from both q week earlier and
a year ago, the sale of mems
apparel was down slightly.
The biggest decline in appli-
ance sales was in refrigerators
and laundry equipment.
Regional estimates varied
from 1853 by these percentages: {:
West North Central up / to 5,
East and West South Central
unchanged to up 4, Mountain
of 2 to up 2, New England, East
North Central and South At

an increase of $1.1 million
over the comparable figure a
year ago, 1t was reported today.
Officials said the increase
had been anticipated in earlier

The rise reflects "a high

tions" during the last half of
1859 and the first six months
of this year, according to a

During October, total District
