From Yuma
By Ted Holm
Box 387. Yuma
UIM WOODS photo)

The irony of intolerance and
segregation is that it produces a
condition with which no one is
happy. The oppressed do not take
long the conditions docilely and
this, of course, keeps the oppres-
sor constantly devising new and
strengthening old methods of
maintaining segregation. This fact
alone should motivate more sup
port for the Yuma Branch
NAACP program to better ra-
cial relations. The efforts of
NAACP have long been an out
standing force in this reverend
ing struggle and are becoming
increasingly important in the
light of present day developments.
It is not enough to merely agree
that segregation is morally wrong
and oppose it on that broad ba
sis. The phobias and misconcep-
tions which they produce must
be eradicated. To trim the
branches only makes the tree
grow more luXuriant in the trunk
and roots. We must not be guilty
of merely scratching the surface
we must dig for the tap root. To
facilitate locating the real prob
lens in the fight against segrega-
ton a free use of bi-racial COM
mittees should be made. Radicals
on both sides of the question
should be eliminated from such
groups as radicals rarely have
the issues involved and their ra-
mifications well in mind. Clear,
constructive thinking is impera-
tive. Practically all communities
have sufficient people to form
such committees. A committee of
this type would be of inestimable
service in providing information
for formulating an effective pro-
gram designed to combat the evils
of segregation in Yuma.

Indeed all the races were
well arranged and each was
in itself a featured attraction.
Toulouse, belonging to Don
Luis Dexter and brought here
by Mr.. Rivera, through the
efforts Of Julio Delgado Rucci
Of Frederiksted, made an ex-
cellent showing and gave the
fans a thrill. ST. Croix cham
pion, Johnny Ace gave a very
good account Of himself and
proved that it took Kentucky
Derby stuff to defeat him. So
he is still champ around the
Virgin Islands.
Touch Me Not won the first
race; Blaze second and Cavon

horses in this five furlong
race. Cochise won the second
race; Poor Thing was second.

know that their nuclear power plants
have been built as carefully and as
safely as possible. In fact, practically
no danger remains.
Still, nuclear-powere submarines do
involve some risk. 1t is a risk we can

afford to take. The dangers of the
nucIear submarines themselves are far
less than the dangers their absence
would create for our national security.
Nuclear- powered commercial ships
also involve risk. But the value of such
ships to our national defense is, in my
mind, questionable. And the thought

Some shipboard reactors are abso-
lutely necessary. Our nuclear-powered
submarines are an important and reli-
able element of our national strength.
They can 60 anywhere in the world
and return any nuclear attack made
upon our nation.

ships and airplanes. Here ice must be
most careful. The mobile reactor's
greatest hazard is the danger of COLI
sion. The most ordinary kind of crash
could crack the reactor and release its
built-up load of radioactive poison into
the air. The most common accident
could be national catastrophe.
We have solved many problems in
pioneering the development of mobile
reactors. Others may be solved some
day. But we must proceed most eau
tiously.
Will cars run on 0ioms?
Nuclear-powered automobiles have
been suggested. fervently hope they
are never produced. A single crash
involving a nuclear powered car near
any of our cities could release enough
radioactive poison to kill, at one stroke,
more people than now die in all of the
nations automobile accidents during
an entire year.
Repeated proposals have been made
for nucIear-powered railroad locomo-
tives. These proposals make me shud-
der. Like the nuclear automobile,
nuclear locomotive could carry its po-
tential death-load to every city in our
nation. If two ordinary trains collide
now near Chicago, there is a possibility
that dozens of people might be hurt. If
a nuclear-powered locomotive we're in
volved in the collision, released radio
active particles could bring death to a
thousand times as many people.
Atom planes ore dangerous
Commercial nuclear- powered air.
planes also would be far too dangerous.
History's worst air crash over the United
States killed 128 people. In the crash
of a single nuclear- powered plane near
one of our larger cities, an incom-
parably greater number would probably
die.
The United States might develop a
nuclear airplane for military, purposes.
If we do, we should keep them at
respectable distances from our large
cities in peacetime.
The most reasonable mobile reactor
powers seagoing vessel. The space on
a ship allows all kinds of safety devices.

W.A.QuinIon
ResignsF From
County Board

William A. Quinlan, Repub-
lican member of the Montgom-
cry County Board of Appeals
for almost eight years, resigned
today.
In a letter to the county
council he said he feels his du-
ties as a board member haVe
been discharged now that the
board has asked that the
county'S code of governmental
ethics be extended to include
the board.
Last year Mr.. Quinlan figured
in a lengthy controversy over a
private communication to the
board from former County
Manager M. L. Reese.
Mr.. Quinlan called for en-
actment of policies that would
prevent attempts to influence
appeals board members in pri-
vate conversations.
This July the county council
adopted a code of government
al ethics requiring the report
ing of private communications
to top county officials.
The appeals board now has
asked that this policy be ex-
tended to the appeals board.
II just feel I've done all I
can," said Mr.. Quinlan.

the ratio down to 80 to 1. The
budget officers, however, rec
commended only 20 teachers,
which would mean the ratio
would be 30.5 to !.
DIR. Hansen and members OF
the school board are especially
concerned about the teacher
pupil ratio because they feel it
has a direct relationship to stu
dent achievement.
DR.. Hansen said that once
the 30-to-l ratio is reached, the
school system will be able to
concentrate on other needs.
High schools did not fare SO
well.
A request for the hiring OF
100 additional junior high
teachers to lower the pupil
teacher ratio to 25-to-1 was
cut to SIS, which means the
ratio at that level will be about
26.1-to-1 in fiscal 1862.
School officials appeared
happy that the budget Office
recommended funds to hire
nine new rowing foreign Ian
guage teachers for elementary
schools. This would permit con-
Itinuation and extension CT the
city's two-year-old language
program, and would extend the
instruction to the fifth grade
