Moss said he remembered
nothing about the crash but
added:
I'm told 1t was a nasty
wet day at Goodwood, so there
was either something wrong
with me, the car or the course
that caused the accident.
Concerning brain damage, !

side. However, my recovery has
amazed my doctors and with

Mrs. Susman, top seeded and
seeking her third straight title
here, disposed of Carole Cald-

Don Pulls Even
He needed onl yone service
break in each to win the first
two sets and, after dropping
his own service early in the
third, pulled even at SIS,
streaking over an ace on game
point just as the skies opened
up.
After the courts were I'M

came back strongly. He served
harder and though he double
faulted frequently-five times
in the gruelling 18-point, 18th

service points. In the final
analysis, his serving matched
Froehling'S and he didn't COM
NIT as many errors.

Watch On The
POTOMAC
by
Robt. 6. Spivock

WHAT IS APPEASEMENT?
General Lucius Clay now seems
firmly established as the American
"boss" in Berlin and this may quiet
che fears of those who have been
worried about our effectiveness in
opposing the Communists.
If that results perhaps we can
begin to examine future relations
between the US. and US.S.R. in a
less super-charged atmosphere
here at home. 1t has been diff
cult in the period since Khrush-
chew artificially created the Berlin
"crisis" to explore practical and
reasonable solutions to the very
real problems involved in Ger
many's future.
Those who favored standing
firm" in the face of Soviet threats
risked criticism of being called
"war-mongers" who failed to UNI
derstand that total devastation
would result from a nuclear holo-
caust. Those who favored sitting
down at the conference table and
trying to reason with the Russians
risked being called "appeasers."
Khrushchev's behavior, rude
and at times almost savage, had
the effect of making the "hard'

A Brief Word On
THE OPEN MIND

eff everyone over 35 would just
keep his mouth shut the rest of us
would get this thing worked out in
three or four years"
This quote from young South
erner referring to the issue of de-
segregation is pobably authentic.
But it has been requoted so often
that it has taken on somewhat the
dignity of folk saying.
There are several significant
things about this sentiment. One
is the characteristic confidence of
youth as yet unsobered by the
stubborness of great problems.
Conversely, there is youths impa-
tience with the generations ahead
which manifestly haven't solved
all difficulties with neatness and
dispatch.
These characteristics should be
taken account of and the proper
discount figured. But they must
not be allowed to overshadow the
positive content that is there.
Note, for instance, that this un-
known youthful sage did not say,
"The rest of us will abolish all
consciousness of race in three or
four years" He said, We'll have
this thing worked out" He sensed
that here is a problem which could
not be disposed of simply by eras-
ing the figures from the black
board.
Perhaps this recognition that
problem by definition has an an
swer, and that the answer is find
able is the most important thing
about this youthful, offhand state
ment. For it presupposes the open
mind. And the open mind is above
all the product of education.
This is borne out by systematic
opinion polling and by just shrewd

the 'better" educated always and
automatically come up with the

population with wage earning
white population. To date, the
state is losing its trained white
young persons at rate perhaps
faster than it is losing its Negroes.
And if Mississippi continued
long enough to lose both young
white people and Negroes it might
lead to a state full of old, white
people with nobody around to
wait on them That's an exagger-
ated statement, of course, but it
illustrates, in its exaggerated form,
the problem.
A newsman, visiting Mississippi
recently, said, "Now l know what
the Southern Way Of Life is. It's
these five dollar hotel rooms. And
I don't blame you for fighting for
it."
It's also a $12-a-week maid and
cook service. And 81 basketball,
ironing service. And equally in
expensive yardman and chauffeur
service. 1t once included cheap

Not A Bad Question, We Think
What's Mississippi Losing?

DR.. Robert Weems, former dean
of the Ole Miss school of business,
says that by 1866 Mississippi
whites will outnumber Negroes
two to one. He points to these
statistics: In 1910 the Negro-white
ratio was about $3.50. In 1850,
it was 45-55. The current ratio
is SO per cent white and AZ per
cent Negro.
We can't help but wonder what
the effect will be on the economic
and social ways of life" in Mis-
sissippi if this trend continues.
Dean Weems commented that the
Negro migration will possibly help
ease the states social problems,
but sit would be very difficult to
point to it as an economic asset"
Despite the rantings of some ex-
tremists, it is difficult to see where
Mississippi stands to gain as much
as she would lose by such a popu-
lation ratio shift. That is, of
course, unless Mississippi can find
ways to replace the lost Negro

fright answers to the worlds diff
ficulties. That would be claiming
too much. For there is sometimes
an over educated detachment from
human experience that can work
against the necessary balance Of
vision and practically.
BY and large, however, and in
proportion to the soundness and
extent of their schooling, educated
people are not afraid of new ideas;
they know that while all change is
not progress, progress inevitably
brings change. So they are more
willing to try for solutions than
are those who, less fortunate in
their contact with ideas and with
other peoples experience, fear
fully expend their energies in
fighting back change-and with it,
progress.
This priceless virtue of the open
mind is not a touchStone for this
one problem of domestic racial adj
justment alone. 1t has proved the
solvent for innumerable difficult
ties that have threatened to block
the onward flow of progress. Nor
is it a product solely of books and
! laboratories. The process of edu-
cation usually brings with it
multiplying of human associations
and broadening of social expe-
rience-from stepping beyond the
family circle into the schoolroom.

students and teachers between ma

may put together better answers
because it likely has amassed
greater stockpiles of the ingredi- 4

friendly soil to good answers when
they come along. For either rea-

THE UN -AMERICANS, by Frank
J. Bonner (Ballantine Books,
1861
In lively three hundred- and
eight-page volume, beginning with
a dramatic portrayal of the So
called San Francisco riot of May
13, 1860, Frank J. Bonner presents
the history of the House I'm
American Activities Committee
The argument of the book is "that
the Committee is not legislative
investigating committee but an
illegal law enforcement body with
a dominant purpose of punish
ment and exposure"
