Statistics
Let me close this column by
giving some statistics for bank
ers, merchants, and parents to
read. These figures are based
upon a survey by the University
of Michigan. The survey showed
that SO per cent of American
households are in debt in one
form or another. 48 per cent of
the families are saddled with
periodic installment debt repay
ments; 81 per cent owe mort
gage debts: "a per cent owe on
noninstallment debt. According
to the study, IA per cent of the
families owing installment debt
are lin hook" for over 81 .OOO.-
double the proportion only five
years ago.
The survey had one encouag-
ing note. Namely, that about
one-third of the families owing
installment debt report that they
have enough savings to offset
their debt. For those who ration
alize that installment buying
keeps their savings in tact,
I would like to point out that sta
tistics show this is a very costly
practice.

A Dangerous And Foolish Federal Move

The intervention of the At.or-
ney General of the United States
in the school Indignation case Of
Prince Edward County, Virginia.
is 4 direct threat 10 the right Of
states and local units Of govern
ment Of determine for themselves
how their affairs shall be handl-
ed. Specifically, the federal auth
critics have entered into the fed
eral court proceeding with a de-
mand that the State of Virginia
be required to compel Prince Ed
ward County to reopen its schools
to both races without any distinc-
ton, and if Virginia failed to do
this then the court is asked to re-
quire that all state funds be with
held from all the public schools
of Virginia until such time as the
decree with respect to Prince Ed
ward County was obeyed.
This action goes far beyond the
question of segregation versus in
tegration OF the school systems.
In effect it is an attempt to de-
prive the State of Virginia of its
sovereign right to determine how
its tax money shall be spent. The
decision of the Supreme Court of
1854 ordered that all public school
systems be integrated within a
reasonable length of time, but
that decision was far short of
telling the states and the local
subdivisions how they should
spend their monies. If the state
or local subdivision of a state
chose to close it's school systems
and educate its children in some
other manner there was nothing
in the Supreme Court decision to
prevent this, but the pending at
tempt in Virginia is direct eff
fort to control not only the educa-
tional systems but also the funds
of the states.
If this can be accomplished in
matters dealing with education
then it can be accomplished in
all other matters of government.
and soon we shall see complete
control vested in the federal gov
eminent, with the state govern
ments and the subdivisions hav-
ing no authority whatsoever over
their actions and no control over
their tax funds.
In the case Of Prince Edward
County the public schools were
closed and students are being

schools today. These being indisputable
facts, who is keeping education from
these youngsters?
Attorney Oliver Hill was entirely out
Of bounds when he stated, the people of
Prince Edward are guilty of a crime
against Humanity, no different than the
crimes perpetrated by Eichmann and
his Nazi cohorts, except in the matter
Of the degree of the offense." This
statement is not characteristic of a man
of Oliver Hills intelligence, and we are
amazed that he let himself be swayed
by emotion to have made it. He knows
we'll the issues in Prince Edward and
he knows also that the actions Of the
people are not dictated by racial hate
He knows also, or should know, that
there is no tyranny in Prince Edward );
that "bigotry, political or economic
power, are not motives of Prince Ed
resigning counsel for the NAACP to
attempt to inject into this cause, ele-
ments not now existant.
The Prince Edward case is still be-
fore the federal court, and there it will
be adjudicated. In the meantime, may
we caution our people, both white and
Negro, to maintain their position of
calm reasonableness, think for them
selves, be aware of the concerted eff
forts of outside influences to inject
emotionalism, be considerate one to an
other and seek solution based on rea-
son, not emotion.
Again may we commend all our peo-
pie for their department over the years
and especially at the public NAACP
meeting Saturday.

Letters Toe
Stephens Knocks
Byrd "Machine"
TO His Detriment
Editor, Farmville Herald:

Editor, Farmville Herald:
In the papers l read that Lieut..
Gov. Stephens is disparaging and
knocking the so called, Byrd
Machine. He asserts it is re-
dictionary. that it STILES am
bition and brushes incentive.
While he has a right to make
these false claims if he thinks
that by SO doing, he may get a
few more votes, I. for one, do
not believe that his statements
are true and because he makes
these statements. if for no other
reason, l certainly will not sup
port him or vote for him. Why
does the so called Byrd Ma
chine" have so much influence
on the voters of our State? 1t
is because the majority Of our
best informed voters know that
what BYRD and his SO called MA
chine advocates are the things
that are best for our State S well
fare. If Harry Byrd had a so
called Machine" in Washington
that could WELD as much influ-
ence on the voters of the nation
as his so called Machine"
yields here in Virginia, we would
be far better off today than we
are now. Both Democrats and
Republicans will agree that Sena-
tor Byrd is one of the most
capable, practical, and sensible
men in the United States Senate
today and this being the case,
why shouldn't the majority of
the. Virginia voters listen to him
and he guided by what he and his
so called Machine" advocates?
AS I see it. when Mr.. Stephens
stoops to knock and disparage
Senator Byrd and his SO called
Machine he is doing his cause
far more harm than good. I am
one hundred per cent for Mr..
Harrison for Governor of Virginia
and I will not only cast my vote
for him, but l will use whatever
influence l may have to persuade
other sensible voters here in Vir-
GINA to do likewise. I am con-
WINGED that the more Mr.. Steph-
ems knocks and disparages the so
called Byrd Machine" the few |
er will be the votes he will get |
from the sensible voters in this
section of Virginia and from the
State as a whole.

1 am astounded at the way
they can be bought by veterans
without any down payment. or
can be bought by anyone at very
small down payments and long
mortgage of thirty or more
years. This is very different
from when l was a young man
getting married. Then we were
compelled to pay one-third in
cash and the mortgage would be
written for only five years.
When talking to students of
Babson Institute, I call to their
attention the economics of birds
which build their "houses" be-
fore they are married" and
raise any little birds.
To young people buying fur
niture on the installment plan.
I am not prepared now to give
definite advice. The laws of diff
ferent states vary as to the
rights of repossession. If you are
behind in the payments on
house. it is a long legal process
for the mortgage to get you
out of the house, especially if
you are willing to pay a reason
able rent. It you are behind in
your payments for a televiSion
set or some other luxury item,
and default on these payments,
you must be prepared to let
the store take it back before you
damage it. This also applies to
certain household utilities men
toned above.
When it comes to buying fur
niture on installment, a young
couple should carefully consider
each item purchased. One in
stallment note and agreement
should be paid in cash. Fur
niture; another note and agree
ment should cover the living
room furniture; and a third note

tuition of the United States is
there any authority granted to
the federal government either to
control the educational systems
Ut the state or to compel com
pllance by local units. Nowhere
III the Constitution Of the United
States IS the federal government
given any power whatsoever to
compel the state legislatures to
vote funds for special purposes
or to withhold funds from special
detectives.
What it has not been able to
accomplish by a dictatorial I'M
realistic decree of the u. S. SUI
preme Court. the federal govern
ment is now attempting to ac-
complish by coercion and what
virtually amounts to dictatorship.
And as stated above if the fed
eral government is victorious in
this case it will have the auth
GRITTY to extend its power indefin-
l'ely i'll the realm of control in
state governments and local units
of government.
That is far more important in
the last analysis than the mere
issue of segregation versus inte-
grafton, for it will mean that the
citizens of a free state and a
free county will be deprived of
their right to conduct their own
affairs and all powers will dan
gerously be invested in the fed
eral government.
The word from Virginia is that
the action of the Attorney Gen.
eral of the United States in this
case will be fought vigorously.
The word from Prince Edward
County is that it will never bow
to this type of federal authority.
1t is to be hoped that the full
support of citizens of all states
who value the right of self-gov-
eminent will be given to the Com
monwealth of Virginia and to the
County of Prince Edward: for if
this effort Of the federal govern
duced to the status of serms SUBJ
iect entirely to the Whims of
whatsoever group may sit in
power at Washington - and the
evils which may be visited upon
one segment of the citizenry in
this case can in ..'me be visited
with equal force uppn all other
groups.

Babson Discusses Pitfalls of Buying On Credit

BABSON PARK. MASS, May
18-I hear that some of the col
lege professors who are advis-
ing President Kennedy on means
of increasing employment favor
expanding consumer installment
buying.
Extent OF The Credit Business
Credit comes in two FORMS
% When your wife goes to her
favorite store and has her pur-
chases Charged" The store
looks up her record through the
Municipal Credit Bureau. If she
has no black marks against her,
the goods are given or sent to
her home. When the monthly bill
is sent for these goods, the store
expects a payment in a short
time. thirty days later as a
maximum. The stores really
like to encourage such charge
accounts, as your wife is likely
to buy more if she can charge
the goods rather than pay cash.
The other form of credit pur-
chase is where the buyer gives
a note. or several notes, pay
able on specified dates, with
power of repossession of the
goods on a certain date after
reasonable notice in case a note
is not paid. I do not object per
Sc to such installment buying,
especially on refrigerators. tele-
vision sets, washing machines.
clothes dryers, and other house
hold appliances which can be
repossessed in good condition. l,
however. earnestly urge that you
read the light fine print on the
agreement and really under
stand what you are asked to
sign.
