Future Trends

THOUGH no one can say positively
4 what is mapping on the stock market
and why. a remarkable number of econ
omists and so-called experts agree that
the January rise in stock prices is a
symptom Of the public's belief that bet
ter business days lie ahead.
Some say that the market is directly
reflecting the buying public's guess that
the Kennedy Administrator will mean
fewer jobless and better times. This
could turn out to be an accurate guess
or it could be false hope.
interestingly, however, the hard
nosed economists see no particular
justification for any stock price boom.
Most of them look for ups and downs
in the coming months - before the re-
suits of the New Frontier era are felt
Stock prices were relatively high
when the New Year began, and when
the new Congress met, and although
there has been recession, it does not
in any way look like the depression of
1902. There is not as much room at
the top, in sense. as there was in 1888
SO it might be wise not to be carried
away with boom fever in 1861. The
boom is not yet here or assured for the
future

Editor The Herald:
AS a taxpayer ii makes me
nauseated to read that The U. S.
Government rejects bid by
Prince Edward County for
SURPLUS property. Our tax
money is being dished out by the
billions to prO-cOmmuniSt cOun-
tries all over the world, mostly
without any strings attached to
require that this money be spent
for American goods. under the di-
rection Of the Communist domi-
mated United Nations. yet a
group of the very finest Ameri-
cans on earth right here in the
cradle of Democracy. is denied
the right to SURPLUS U. S. Gov
eminent property because they
feel that under the Constitution
they have a right to segregated
schools.
This action by the Secretary of
Health. Education and Welfare.
Arthur S. Flemming is just a
minute sample of the treatment
the segregated South will receive
under the incoming NAACP-

Since Earl Warren took office
in 1858, the Supreme Court has
heard a total of 80 cases involv-
ing Communist or subversive &C

have sustained the Communist,

Antique Table


against the War Of 1912 with
England, one of numerous docu-
ments turned out by an insati-
able writer doubtless many
times using the very table now
soon to return to West Virginia.
His full political life included
first staunch support of Thomas
Jefferson, and then a break with
Jefferson and Madison over
Georgia land grants. He was
foreman Of the Richmond jury
which in 1907 tried Aaron Burr
for reasonable acts against the
U. S. On that occasion Chief JUS
tice Marshall presided.
Perhaps some Southsiders to-
day may feel a new kinship with
Randolph. the exponent of po-
lltical independence, about whom
the Historian Henry Adams could
write: These old republicans
Of the South. Giles, Macon.
Nicholson, Randolph and their
friends, always asserted their
right to judge party measures
by their private standard, and
to vote as they pleased -. The
difference between them and
others was simply in this pride, or
as some may call it. self-respect,
which made them despise with
caustic contempt politicians who
obeyed party orders and sur
rendered their conscience to

DR.. Schlegel says in his letter
that lone is forced to the con-

most persuasive argument: The
whites are not fit to go to school
with the Negroes.
l would think that DR.. Schlegel

he is dependent upon his crutches

is white and l am of the Negro
race. I also can understand how
bitterness and spite can get
holt of a man who is seriously
handicapped in his body, unless
he has the love of his felloWman

New Orleans Tragedy And Pathos
Are Part Of Vicious NAACP Plan

LET THIS BE REMEMBER
ED by those whose hearts bleed
for the women and children en-
broiled in the New Orleans
school travail: This sensitive
area was chosen by the inte-
grationists themselves, not by
segregationists.
All the tragedy. the pathos,
and the suffering which are
caught up in this school inte-
grafton controversy are par and
parcel Of the battle plan Of the
National Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored People.
The strategy is insidious, ruth
less, and effective. It is design
ed to tug at the heartstrings of
Americans every where to
arouse deep emotions of sympa-
thy and distress all to the
end that resistance to race-nix-
ing be weakened and overcome.
THE TACTICS IS NOT NEW.
1t was employed with loathsome
success by the Mongols of
Genghis Khan more than seven
centuries ago. When besieging
city. they would drive captive
women and children before their
armed forces, causing the de-
tenders to fire into the ranks of
the helpless in order to stem the
tide of the warriors pressing
from behind.
The same sort of pitiless prac-
tice has been employed in differ
ent guise in many lands and in
many times. The sacrifice of
hostages is a part of the game.
The use of reprisals against
entire communities is cut from
the same cloth. The South felt
something of this at the hands of
Sherman's .ravaging troops as
they devastated the virtually
helpless heartland Of the Con-
federacy. England and West
ern Europe felt it beneath Hit
ler's rain of bombs into open
cities.
This destruction Of the inno-

Unfair to StOrekeepers

Eighty per cent of all shop

barely making a living. Not only
will most of them be obliged to
put one of their clerks on half

Of the small shops will feel
obliged to close up and go out
of blu in e s. President Ken
nedy's professors say - Very
well, there are already too many
stores in every city and town. :"
Such a statement is very mis-
leading, as such salesmen and
others who are now calling upon
them will lose their jobs, the
local newspapers will lose ad-
vertising, and more vaca t
stores will be seen on every bus
mess street.
To a certain extent this same
principle applies also to the mer-
ger of railroads. banks, and
various other large concerns.

School Economics
In Prince Edward

Editor Of Herald:
For the year 1858, the citizens
government expenses Of Prince
Edward County was 1895, 432, and
its total debt was 1888 200, on
which it paid the usual interest
money.
The Negroes with 4lla per cent
of the population, contributed an
estimated $4,000 in support, less
than 4 per cent, $28,946 of theirs
on their S35a,1l3 worth Of taxable
real estate -fi4l2 per cent of all
in this county and over 3 times
their state average.
School disbursements totaled
1874 ,534. An average of 1884 81
per Average Daily Attendance
pupil.
Negroes, with 1,529 of these
pupils. cost the white taxpayers
$3.50 $50 for their education alone,
9l2 times their total tax dollars,
S359,450 loss here alone.
Sixty-nine Negro teachers were
given employment at an average
of $3,410 each, to instruct their
own people. around 900 hours, an
average of 1919 per hour, and a
total cost of $235, 1897 of the above,
nearly eight times their total tax
dollars.
Welfare funds paid their needy,
plus their criminals cost, added
considerably. For 1859, Negroes
contributed an estimated S39, 900
tax support, $780, 96 of this on
their $869,360 taxable real estate,
or 14.4 per cent.
School disbursements totaled
sits 1858 an average Of 1858 .99
per ADA pupil. With 1877 of
these. the Negroes share was
S416, 662, or 11l2 times their total
tax dollars. a 1882 ,642 loss to the
white taxpayers. so per cent
more than the total debt. Just
imagine the financial burden
were the official records back to
1915. or even 1850 be shown here,
for providing Negroes education
alone!
Their 50 teachers salaries had
increased TO an average of
$3566 % each, 1897 per hour, and
a total s246.O70 of the above
costs. over 612 times their total
tax dollars.
A total loss of $742. O92 in these
two ''a"s aloneli And still they
could not be satisfied.
Private schools should actually
save enough money for the white
citizens in less than two years to
pay off their government debt.
The same that could be said for
almost everv other political sub
division. And WHY keep burden
ing ourselves for ingrates?

BABSON PARK, MASS, Jan.
q = President Kenaedy's pro-
posed SIPS minim u m wage
would result in many employers
reducing the number of their
wageworkers. They must do so
to avoid bankruptcy. But this is
not the only dangerous result of
such legislation. if passed.
Wage Changes Affect All
If this SIPS proposal could
stop with those now getting less,
it could have certain advan-
tages. In addition to aiding sew
eral million deserving presons.
it would come back to farmers
and manufacturers in increas-
ed purchasing power. None of
this increase would be saved.
This could be all to the good, but
such legislation could upset all
wage scales.
Wageworkers think more of
prestige than they do of money.
Most people are proud by ma
ture, and well they should be.
Furthermore. workers who are
now satisfied with SIPS per hour
naturally would not like to see
inexperienced workers raised Is
per cent without a correspond
ing raise for themselves and 9TH
ers more experienced. Hence. the
proposed minimum wage could
upset the entire wage scale for
millions of workers with result
ing price increases for foods and
consumer goods and services.
Unfortunately, President Ken
nedy's economic advisors have
never has a payroll to meet and
are wholly ignorant of the intri-
cate subject of wages and
prices.

version of the American tradi-
ton. the people themselves are
being denied the right Of deci-
sion in this instance. Never be-
fore in history have SO many
citizens of supposedly DEM
ocratic society been utterly dis
regarded in the making of what
is essentially a political de-
cision, despite its sociological
and judicial trappings.
The Constitution itself is en-
broiled in the dispute. And only
the people have the right to
alter the Constitution.
Yet, the NAACP and its poll
teal adherents will not submit
their case to the people of the

sions that public sentiment is
on their side.
Instead, they wage war be-

SIPS Minimum Wage Will Increase Unemployment

Germany. Japan, and Italy.
where wages are low and work
ing hours long. AS we Americans
buy these imported goods, we
are increasing unemployment at
home. H ence. any move to
further increase our U. S. Swage
scales at this time will result in
the importation of more foreign
goods. This would cause more
unemployment here at home.
Fearing this SIPS minimum
wage some corporations are
already building factories in
these foreign countries. Hence.
l foresee that much more unem-
ployment in this country is in
evitable, whatever Congress does
as to our wage scale.
Aid for Depressed Areas
President Kennedy deserves
support from Congress for his
appeal for certain cities which
are suffering from exceptionally
large unemployment. These are
areas which have depended too
heavily on one certain industry
such as hard coal, coarse tex
tiles, and some farm crops. l
am very sympathetic with the re-
port of Senator Douglas on this
subject.
1t is only fair that the entire
country which is enjoying fair
prosperity should be taxed to
subsidize such unfortunate areas
until they get back on their feet
again. The money given them
should. however, be used partly
to develop new industries and
not merely be distributed to the
unemployed for temporary re-
lief.
