A delightful idea, yes. But
the subtitle should have been
a reminder that the gap be-

satisfactory realization Is
vast. Magic World of Books"
does the phrase come from

to urge others along the lit

Mrs. Walsh is assistant
professor of children's litera-
ture at Northeast Missouri
State Teachers College, and
she has spent a good deal of
time in the world of profess
sional educators where all too
frequently sentimentality is
encouragement and rigor and
vigor are the enemies of that
most important of all goals,
instant disqualification.
Does that seem harsh?
Consider this: Books are

White discusses her daughter

she listened. and I have been
wondering why. Is it because
the story begins with Little
Black Sambo in security? His
mother and father are there,

pear on the scene. After this
adventure. the hero is back
in security"
Yet 1t seems that Mrs.
Walsh does not have bad
taste but rather none at all.

on his early reading and
seeks its special quality:
Perhaps II is only in
childhood that books have
any deep influence on our
lives. In later life we admire.

modify some views we al
ready hold, but we are more
likely TO find in books merely
a confirmation OF what is in
our minds already: AS in q
love affair II is our own fea-
lures that we see reflected
back.
But in childhood all books
are books Of divination, tell
ing us about the future, and
like the fortune teller who
sees a long journey in the
cards or death by water they
influence the future"

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April 23
(AP).-The City of Birmingham
rested its case in contempt pro-
ceedings against is Negro lead
ers today after attempting to
prove they deliberately violated
q State injunction against ra-
cial demonstrations.
The Rev. DR.. Martin Luther
King, jr., and IA others are
charged with contempt Of court
for allegedly ignoring the April
10 injunction issued by Circuit
Judge w. A. Jenkins. jr., after
q week Of desegregation activ-
ity.
Meanwhile, a Federal Judge
returned cases of 286 Negro
demonstrators from the Fed
eral court to city jurisdiction
At the same time, Judge Clar.
ence w. Allgood denied mo-
tions to order the city to show
cause why 1t should not be en-.
joined from arresting demon
strators.
Judge Allgood also denied
motion asking 500, 900 damages
for alleged deprivation Of rights
charged by DR.. King and eight
others.
Reports Defiance
In the city contempt case
detective, 1t. Maurice House
testified that DR.. King. the Rev
Fred L. Shuttlesworth and tn,
Rev. Ralph d. Abernathy ex
pressed defiance Of the State in
junction at a news conference

Jones, said he interviewed fou

hold the line. He indicated he
planned no action, noting the
increases averaged about l per
cent of all steel prices and re-
stored a drop Of recent years
But he said he was con-
cerned about a psychological
effect that might cause a
more general rise in prices
which may, therefore, be re-
flected in additional wage de-
mands."
The Steelworkers' contract
can be reopened for wage
negotiations at the beginning
of May.

Birmingham Rests Case
Against Negro Leaders

Mr.. Jones said all four told
him they knew Of the injunc-
ton and that they admitted
leading the march.
During earlier testimony, the
city attempted to show that
the Southern Christian Leader
ship Conference advocated vio-
lence in descgregation move
ments. The SCLC long has con-
tended that 1t follows a policy
Of passive resistance.
Claim Of Hatred
State Investigator Willie D.
Painter said the SCLC. Of
which Martin Luther King is
president, had a program OF
teaching hatred Of whites"
Mr.. Painter also said an
SCLC official, the Rev. Wyatt
Tee Walker. told him the Or
ganization would turn to revo-
luton. If necessary, to achieve
minimum desegregation In
Birmingham.
Mr.. Painter, whose basic job
Is handling racial matters,
said the SCLC had changed
its policy within the past two
years from civil rights to total
integration Of the races.
He conceded under question
ing that the general theme Of
the organization was nom
violent.
"The teachings are non
violent, but there is a pSy-
chology to incite others to be
violent Of them. There is q
teaching Of nonviolence yet q
psychologically advocating Of
violence" he said.
Asked to explain this, Mr.
Painter replied: King in 9

that Negroes in Birmingham
were buying firearms to pro-
tect themselves"

The possibility Of withhold
ing Federal funds from segre-
gated library systems was
raised today by the Depart
ment Of Health, Education and
welfare.
It was brought up in a
memorandum sent by HEW's
Office of Education to q House
Education and Labor subcom-
mittee.
Members Of the subcommit-
tee asked HEW two weeks ago
for O report on what the de-
partment is doing about q 1861
recommendation by the Civil
Rights Commission to withhold
Federal funds from racially
segregated library systems.
United States Commissioner
Of Education Francis Keppel
said in the memorandum that
his office has made q sample
survey which disclosed some
cases in which library services
may not have been provided
in accordance with the pro-
visions in the Library Services
Act. :"
Rural Areas Affected
The Library Services Act
provides Federal aid for public
libraries In rural areas. It de.
fines public libraries as those
offering services "free to al
residents Of q community. dis.
trict or region. :"
These cases are now under
consideration and may result
In the taking Of audit excep.
tions or other appropriate
administrative action. -
Mr.. Keppel said.

HEW ToIks of Cutting
Book Fund in Roce Issue

John @. Lorenz, director Of
the division that handles the
library funds for the Office Of
Education, said this means
HEw is considering the possi-
bility Of deducting from State
entitlements the amount Of
funds going to systems not pro-
viding services free to all.
The Civil Rights Commission
report, issued in the fall Of 1861,
said it surveyed about one-third
Of the public libraries in II
Southern States receiving Fed
leral aid under the Library
Services Act. The commission
said:
"The information received
shows clearly that, in some
cases, services are not available
to Negro residents at all though
they are available to whites. In
others some provision is made
for Negroes in separate inferior
branches"
Big Expansion Asked
The subcommittee, headed by
Representative Dent, Democrat
of Pennsylvania, has before 1t
an administration request for
a six fold expansion Of the 1856
Library Services Act. It now
provides SIS million q year for
operation Of rural libraries. The
administration wants the funds
increased to $45 million. wants
1t extended to urban areas and
wants a new program Of aid
for construction.

into the legislation could kill
the proposal which already has
been attacked by economy
minded congressman.
