cousins they were running all over

Watch for the announcement
this weekend which will take
another leading Minnesota Negro
on the Kennedy trail to Washing
ton, D. c. officialdom already
trod by Carl Rowan, Richard Fox
and George Holland.
It was in this column that know
ledgeable Minnesotans first learned
three weeks ago that Congressman

gubernatorial nomination.
The decision of Dan Jacobowski
to resign the st. Paul F'EPC direc-
torship to enter private law prac-
tice has produced two headaches.
One of which is that the st. Paul
FEPC will have a hard time try
ing to find an acceptable replace
ment for Dan, who has done a
good job. The other is the Mime
sofa FEP commission which con-
sidered Jacobowsld one of the lead
ing candidates for the post vacated
by Wilfred Leland.
Dan Jacobowsl1i, an attorney
with six children probably has de-
cided it's time to face the fact
that human relations posts are
vastly underpaid jobs and under
paid idealistic posts often don't
buy enough groceries.
The st. Paul Urban League has
not yet made known who its new
field or industrial secretary is to
be The Minneapolis NAACP
board voted to ask the state FEPC
to review the qualifications Of the
persons being selected for the
dictatorship. In a sense while the
NAACP is entitled to a real con-
Germ that the right person be
named, the action by the NAACP
could be considered presumptuous
and probably is so considered by
the commission.
One of the applicants said to
have been interviewed for the job
was a we'll known Minnesota rae
list. Maybe he applied for the
laughs or needed something to
salve the ego of his sick mind.

Beauty Queens
THE rash of beauty queens

THE rash Of beauty queens in the
papers reminds us of an incident in
the Soviet Union where they run these
things somewhat differently.
The Soviet pin-up girl is usually bux-
ON, healthy, Woodworking individual
who belongs to pig breeding collective,
and who has overrun the quota by a
large margin. She is idolized principally
because of her devotion to hard work
and the unusual detectives she has
reached because Of that.
Well, that's all just dandy, but boys
will be boys. The other day one Tanya
was imn1ortalized amid a mass of
squealing pigs. Her appeal registered
with young swain who wrote asking
if she believed in love at first sight.
Tanya, her disgust being only exceeded
by her interest in pig-breeding, reported
him to the Young Communist League
which is reported to have dealt with
him sternly".

The theory is, also, that this gesture
will make the peoples of these commu-
mist countries appreciate us and like us.
But who knows what happens be-
hind the curtains of these communistic
countries? If this aid keeps the people
from going hungry, then it may prevent
a revolution, or the overthrow of rot
ten, and inefficient, communist-type
government
At time when our own dollar is
being drained away, by an unfavorable
balance of payments, involving exports
and imports, we are strengthening the
very communist regimes which threaten
to bury us - by sending them food and
aid worth hundreds of millions of dol
lars. What sense does that make?

Walking Club
Enthusiasts Meet
Thursday, Sept. IA

Editor Of Herlad:
There has been some interest
in forming a walking club as
first proposed in my letter to
the Herald a few days ago. For
all who want to meet for discus
sion, and to 60 ahead with some
plan. if found desirable, l have
secured the right to hold meet
ing in the Town Council Cham
Der on Thursday Sept. IA at 800
pm. So all persons who are
interested please come and let's
take up suggestions as to organi-
cation of a club. where the trail is
to be located etc.
have checked over the ground
of a way which l would like to
bring up for consideration as a
walking trail.
The chief purpose is walking
on a trail rather than along
streets and roads is to take your
walking exercise in the country
away from traffic and from the
smooth hard pavements.
My idea is to have no fees
or charges for membership.
However to begin with it may
be necessary to build several
inexpensive stiles for getting over
fences where necessary. Volun-
teers could help in cutting some
! small bushes and some weeds
along the way.
There should be some rules
ct up so that the governing body
of the club will have the authority
to Withhold walking privileges
from (expelD anyone who fails
to live up to a proper conduct
while on the trail.
Men and women, young and
old, you are all invited to the
meeting in Council Chamber
Thursday, Sept. IA at 8 pm.

must be overcome before tests will be
made in other counties and other states.
Some states and some localities in Vir-
ginia have submitted to so-called token
Indignation" of the schools, which in
time will become total Indignation. In
this connection, cities principally, have
been able, up to this time, to control
massive Indignation through criteria of
residence closest to the school, and
other tests. In rural sections this re-
cognized test has no control because the
races live in close proximity, and are
not segregated as in cities.
The Prince Edward case is of utmost
Importance because the results will es-
tablish educational bases, not for one
year but permanently, not in Prince Ed
ward County but in many other coun-
ties similarly situated in Virginia and
throughout the South.
The pity is that such bases for edu-
cation must be established not by legis-
lators representing the people, but
through a judicial process controlled
by federal courts, a long and tedious
procedure never envisioned by the
trainers of the U. S. Constitution. In
several states, laws enacted by legis-
latures have been overruled, declared
null and void, and become useless. Ger
tainly, the opposition in practically
every Southern State, indicates the
illogic of judicial legislation. Laws en-
acted by legislative bodies are positive,
and are enacted after full discussion
by representatives of the people. Judi
cial legislation is negative, requiring
untold time, serious delays, and con-
siderable confusion. In the meantime,
people suffer.
When on crooked road you can't
see around the corner take short steps,,

taken toward solution in the impend-
ing case in Virginia's Supreme Court
Of Appeals. We trust that other steps
will follow leading to a solution equi-
table to all parties. That, we believe.

The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1961-09-08

A MOTHER step was made along the
legal road leading to solution of the
school dilemma in Prince Edward when
the NAACP attorneys filed in the
Supreme Court Of Appeals of Virginia
today petition for writ of mandamus
to compel the Prince Edward Board of
Supervisors to levy taxes and appropri-
ate funds for the operation of public
schools for the year 1961-62 and SUBJ
sequent years.
Judge Oren Lewis did not decide this
question. He stated:
"Since the final answer to that ques-
ton requires the Interpretation of perhaps
several sections of the Virginia Consti-
tuition and statutes adopted pursuant Their
to. federal abstinence is the proper pro-
cedure this court will defer ruling on
this question until the Supreme Court Of
Appeals of Virginia has rendered its de-
cision, provided the said suit is filed within
sixty days from this date august 23,.''
We believe this question is basic to
any permanent solution.
The pity is that the U. S. Supreme
Court by its decision of May IT, 1854,
destroyed the bases upon which the
South had tediously built a public edu-
cation system. This decision substituted
racially' integrated public education
with all deliberate speed" by judicial
direction, for laws and regulations pro-
perly enacted by the legislatures and
the people in many states, especially
the Southern states This action re-
quires new bases to be established. Not
bases enacted by legislatures, but only
on base dictated by the ''overwhelm-
ing power" Of the federal courts.
Since 1855, every Southern state has
attempted in it's own way to find new
bases for public education which would
meet with the approval of the people
upon which to assure continued edu-
cational growth and progress. Virginia
has been the brunt of the federal courts
pressures because the NAACP has
chosen to flight" the court battles in
Virginia. For some reason Prince Ed
ward County has been the focal point
of the NAACP court tests. 1t continues
to be. The resistance in this county

The business man is paying a lot of

getting his share of the national wealth
and we are sending millions of dollars
worth of his produce to communist
countries like Poland - countries in
the communist sphere
The communists have a problem of
feeding their people, both in Poland,
in Russia, in China, and in other coun-
tries. They are forced to buy large
quantities of food and spend their
money for apitalist-produced food.
1t would seem that our shipping of
millions of dollars worth of food and
aid to such countries as Poland would
only stabilize the communist leaders

has asked for $500 million for aid to
communist Poland. President Essen

federal money to aid Poland, though

million.

behind all this is, of course, that this

The 'Norline" variety won't

much further north, he said, but
lit will protect growers who
have had winter-killing in the
past.
Records accumulated during
the past three years indicated
"a 10 bushel advantage for Nor
line" over any other winter oat
variety. In addition, it has fair
ly still straw, is short, and pro-
duces grain of relatively high
test weight, according to Mitch

The seed is available for
planting this fall, but it should
be planted early. Right now is
plenty late, he said.
The other winter oat variet-
les recommended for Delaware

and Lee. Norline was introduc-
ed last year by Rutgers Expert

Price support at a minimum
national average of 81 a

their 1862 farm wheat allot-
ment and who participate in
the special wheat stabiliZa-
