THE CONSTITUTION Is WHAT
THE COURT SAYS IF IS :"

THE COURT SAYS IT IS :"
WHEN { II ARL f s Evans
Hughes said this he spoke not in
praise but dispraise. as Of a
questionable practice. He meant
that if the court says scrambled
eggs are unconstitutional and
only fried are within the law. SO
it must be. Not by right but by
default.
Even in this unholy practice,
however, the court must at least
speak. And the court has said
nothing at all about the Univer-
sity of Georgia. That institution
has never been before it on this
matter. yet a lowest-ranking fed
eral judge in Atlanta has taken
it upon himself to order the Uni
versity to integrate. And the
same loWest-rankirg judge has
ordered sovereign Georgia S gov
ern0r and auditor to violate state
law and put up the money as
if they were upkeep employees
of the federal building in Atlanta.
Il i +
SO CONSCIENCELESS and
high-handed has this situation
come to be now that three are
many ways in which Congress
could slap the court down if it
wished.
But it happens that the Con-
gress wishes.
But for Lyndon Johnson it
would have slapped before now.
The slapping can be done in
spite of the ardor of Mr.. Ken
nedy and New Frontier Demo-
Gratis to achieve total Indignation
now by hook or orck. tIeabnco
now by hook or crook. 1t can be
done by a coalition which doesn't
always hold together when the
race question is up but which
holds for dear life when the Con-
stitution is Knocked with sociais-
tic and centralized judicial legis-
lation by an m-elected few.
j. 4 4
THAT is WHY, in a seemingly
back-to-theWall situation many
in the South find hope in the Goa
lition and great will to hold it
together by purging all Of our
Southerners who put party above
country. Constitution, God and
the South.
Another famous saying about
the court was Mister Dooley's.
He said "the Supreme Court fol-
lows the elections. " The court
may have misinterpreted the
election as Mr.. Kennedy has
not. What the election did was to
put the coalition into more power
than ever if and when it chooses
to exercise it and if defaulting
SouthernerS are purged or per-
suaded.
There's a growing tendency to
play ball with Kennedy in his
enormous situation with the
world.
And there is an indicated grow
ing tendency of Mr.. Kennedy to
play ball with the coalition in
his half-and- situation with
the voters.
NOTHING COULD BE FUR
Their from the facts than re-
cent description of the coalition
by certain Republican liberals
as a cynical gang-up for political
purposes. Except on the race
question. the coalition represents
the largest body Of principles-in-
common this country owns.
And when it has a majority in
Congress, that means a majority
of the people of the United States.
Representative government is
like that.

ganization. HOPE, Inc, which stands
for Help Our Public Education"
According to pamphlet widely dis
tributed in Georgia by the organizers
Hope, Inc, is an organization charter
ed in December 1858, by a group of
Georgia citizens who wanted to take
positive steps to make sure that Geor-
ga's public schools stay OPEN"
This same pamphlet says:
every court ruling to date has
borne out the fact that Georgians will
have to choose sooner or later between
compliance with the law, and some de-
segregation, or no public schools
From another source we CLEAN that
"HOPE is backed by the bi-racial South
ern Regional Council"
HOPE appears to be a militant, we'll
financed prominently led organization,
using shrewd publicity and propaganda
Be that as it may misleading public
ity such as reprinted here does nothing
to recommend the character of the or
ganization, which we understand is led
by Ralph McGill, editor Of the Atlanta
Constitution, and Atanta's Mayor Will
liam Hartsfield, among others.
The falacies of this handbill are
we'll known in this community.
A faculty of 81 qualified teachers
instruct approximately 400 pupils.
From the 1860 class of 62 graduates,
35 entered colleges and universities in
seven states, and two are in business
colleges. The curriculum includes %
units academic subjects and 16 units
of practical arts, plus physical edu-
cation we'll above state require

Under construction is a modern
academy plant for $50 upper school
students to be ready for use in Septem-

from patrons and friends of the Prince
Edward School Foundation.

WlLL the united states Supreme
Court order the board of supervis-
ors of Prince Edward County to levy a
tag to operate racially integrated public
schools in Prince Edward County
against the will of the MAJ ority of tax
payers who have made their position
known?
That is the question which is posed
by the NAACP in it's present suit That
: is a question which the United States
: federal court, and the United States
Supreme Court will consider. The recent
additions to this petition filed Friday

for the direct indirect support of any
private schools which excludes the Negro
plaintiffs by reason of race.
t2) The expenditure of public funds to
aid or reimburse persons for money paid
as tuition to any private schools that ex-
cludes the Negroes by reason of race.
80 The award of tax credit to any
person who pays or contributes to any
private school that excludes the Negroes
by reason of race.
All of these question will be answer
ed by the Court. The judges will make
a decision. We feel sure that the U. S.
Supreme Court will make a decision.
When? 1t would be difficult to predict.
There are many fundamental con-
stitutional question present in this suit.
In the entire history of the republic
no court has forced legislative body
to tax the people against their will.
Should this be ordered then we know
that the Constitution and the republic
has been abandoned for some other form
Of government which none Of us, white
or Negro, would relish.

WE apologize for taking so much space
in our editorial columns to discuss
the Prince Edward position in regard
to public schools. 1t SO happens that
this is an all-important issue. The fact
that Prince Edward has successfully
maintained its position despite criti-
cisms and attacks far and wide invites
unwanted publicity from those who OPP
pose it.
Misrepresented, maligned, and at
tackled unfairly, Prince Edward goes
quietly on. However, not a day passes
that some citizens does. not point out
further attacks. 1t would be impossible
to answer all Of them = the people
here are too busy.
Within the past month much pressure
has been brought through press, radio,
magazines, various organizations, etc.
This press ire will continue. Our people
must understand and hold their posi-
ton which is founded on solid constitu-
tional principles which so far have been

The school problem in just coming
to Louisiana, Georgia, and South Caro-
lima. Legislatures are coming to grips
with the problem We may be thankful
that Prince Edwards position is being
litigated in the courts, not on the welkin.
May we take this opportunity to COM
mend again the sane and sensible re-
lationships between the races despite
the pressures which have been upon this
county for many years. BY and large
Prince Edward has the finest citizens
in America, both white and Negro.

example of the publicity misrepresent-
ing the county by those who oppose In

MANILA = Public Works
Secretary Florencio Moreno,
who left for the United States
last week to sign for two vital
loans for the Philippines, also

Moreno was scheduled to dis
cuss with Vice President Lyn-

ment's program for the big
southern island, a scheme in
which the government itself
contemplates an investment of
100000.
The Mindanao plan, scheduled
to be carried out over five
years, was prepared by a special
Cabinet committee of which
Mindanao was an active mem
Der The two others who
worked with him were National
Economic council Chairman
Joe Locsin and Agriculture Sec
rotary Cecar Fortich.
Briefly outlining the plan in a
planeside interview before he
left, the Public Works chief said
it consisted of:
l. A program of public invest
ment in projects like power de-
velopment; road construction;
development of seaports, air
ports and waterways; and the
expansion and improvement of
communication facilities. j..
2. Private sector projects,
which will include the estab-
liShment of a big steel mill at
Iligan, development of the Surf
gao iron and nickel deposits,
establishment of wood process
ing plants, and the setting up of
factories for food processing,
pulp manufacture and chemical
production. All this will be in
addition to variety of agricul-
tural projects.
Moreno said the plan will re-
quire an average annual expen-
diture by the government, over
the five-year period, of P246,-
100000.
