Sound Judgment

(ONERNOR Albertis Harrison has
shown considerable Judgment in his
position on civil rights in Virginia. No
doubt he has been under considerable
pressure from many sources He has
moved cautiously, patiently and fairly

Indignation of the races regardless of
pubic opinion or public preferences, or
for that matter legal uncertainties, ask
ed the Governor to take steps prema-
turely.
Among the requests were: to encour-
age city governments to promote BIZ
racial efforts; to encourage business
TO employ persons on merit basis with
out racial discrimination, and the State
set an example: convene a panel of
distinguished al d concerned Vir-
glnlans' to consider racial issues and
produce can agenda of advance for
the state. Also, to do everything pos
slble to reopen Prince Edward County
public schools.
The Governor properly views bi-racial
efforts within cities as the obligation of
the cities. The governing bodies of cities,
towns and counties have an obligation
to listen to the public and the griev-
ances properly placed before such
boards. The same principle applies to
the State and the Governor.

The 'POcketbOOk Vote

THE lead editorial in recent issue OF
the New York Times Western Edi-
ton deals with the tax and fiscal pro.
blems currently in the imelight in New
York state. And it has a national signi.
ticance = for the situation there also
exists, in varying degree, throughout
the country.
The editorials point is that groups of
taxpayers, with special interests at
heart, want more and more benefits,
which means more and more spending
but don't want to pony up the taxes
which are needed to meet the bills. So
we have what the Times calls @. the
pocketbook vote which calls constant

and is willing to pay for them. that is it's
right. But the widespread public desire
to have its cake and eat it too-that is.
to get something for nothing - totes
up to a disgraceful electoral irresponsi-
bility. 1t is time the the voters, in far
greater numbers>than is presently the
case, face up to that plain and inscap-
able and eternal fiscal fact of life.

Confirm Or Deny

BECAUSE there is much in President
kennedy's civil rights program with
which moderate men cannot agree =
for example. the far-reaching demand
that private businesses be forced to ac-
cept Negro clientele or customers = a
assertion made the other day by Har-
lem Congressman Adam Clayton Powell
acquires added significance.
The Negro Democrat. long at odds
with federal income tax collectors,
sometimes object of suits for Islander
damages, more recently subject of
scathing attacks by members of both
parties for lavish iunketeering, did not
assert authorship of the program lust
introduced. He did not assert author
ship of the Presidents civil rights mes
sage to Congress that accompanied the
introduction of the bills. But he did as
sert something else
The President" he boosted, had no
intention of including many of the
points that he did in his message. re-
wrote half of his speech for him the
night before it was delivered before
Congress-"
Is this true? Is Adam Clayton Powell
SO close an advisor of the President? We
consider it incumbent on the President
to dispel the doubt.
If it is not true then the President
owes denial to his congressional sup
porters who will have battle enough
ahead of them. If it is true, then the
explanation might go far to explain why

Letters ToEditor
Telephone Service
And Attenuation
Editor of Herald

Editor of Herald
Why? Why does a person
change his whole being when he
talks over the phone? Is it be-
cause he knows that he can't be
punched in the nose? Is it be-
cause he can't be seen. only
heard? Or is it something else?
Maybe he is inferior and by
cursing the operator or the
members of his party line he
builds up in his mind that he's
really a great and powerful
man. He's not! He's only a
mere child! A man would never
be impolite to a hard working
operator. or to any other human.
Yes human. Operators are hui
man. Really! They are hard
working humans too. Even
through all their hard work they
have a sence Of humor. Just the
other day was calling the
beauty parlor and l got hold Of
our male operator. l gave him
the number and he rang it for
me. Many times l might add.
The parlor didn't answer so
asked rs she closed on Tues
days?" He promptly replied.
I'm sorry mama l don't know
You see, l don't usually go
there' Only an operator has a
sense of humor like that.
Some of us believe that these
hard working people always tell
us that the line is busy for the
heck of it. We always complain
in their ears even though we
know they are busy. But, when
we get our number we don
seem to care how long we talk.
You know. it's strange how we
as people rely and depend so
dearly on the telephone operator
We always remember the paper
boy at Christmas. Some of us
send cards to the firemen and to
the rescue squad. But, who do
you think gets the firemen and
the rescue squad and even the
police. The hard working tele-
phone operator. Of course. who
else would do it?
While the operator IS trying to
save lives through her cor his)
service they are also trying to
give better service to you and
me. You see, the operator knows
exactly what you have to &c
through when you call. They
have phones too. They know on
ly too well the problems you
face when the number doesn't
answer. An operator can handle
an average of 80 calls minute
provided she COR he) is given the
number clearly and distintly ane
the lines are open.
OF course operators aren't per
feet. They are human as VIZ
have thus stated. Operator, like
us. make mistakes. In trying II
give the fastest service possible
they do ring the wrong mum
bers. But, have you ever triec
ringing four longs and two shorts
and at the same time three
shorts and a long?
In less than three months the
operators shall fade from oul
lives into history. Are we, the
people, going to be the same
nasty, uncivilized, and unscroup
olus people that we now are,
For yours and my sake. I hope
not cause when we go to tina
land above and when you call

Hearing representative spokesman is
quite different from ppoint n G
interracial committees with sembl-
ence of governmental authority. Cover
nors, mayors and others are elected by
the people to exercise the legal powers
of their office These officers have an
obligation to discharge their duties, not
to bargain over them with citizens COM
mittees.
Having experienced citizen bi-racial
discussions we have been unable to find
any area of mutual negotiation.
Regarding Prince Edward schools,
the Governor said it cannot be resolved
until court litigation posing legal and
constitutional issues has been decided.
1t will be remembered that Governor
Harrison requested the Virginia Su-
preme Court to expedite the case now
before it. The issues are grave and
INTRICATE, affecting the freedoms and
liberties of all people, which may pro-
perry be a reason that the State Court
or the Fourth Circuit Court have pom
dered their decisions so carefully.
Prince Edward County must press it's
case relentlessly. To change its present
position would make it possible that
the issues would never be adjudcated
Furthermore, no firm base for future
development Of education would be
established.

Mr.. Hampden- Sydney

THE development of Hampden-Sydney
College for the past Sc years has
been entwined in the life Of Paul Tulane
Atkinson. He, to us and thousands of
alumni. was Mr.. Ifampden-S Sydney.
His record as student, his service
from 1919 to 1859 as financial secre-~
tary during a dark and trying financial
period of the college, and his leader
ship in alumni affairs during his active
service and since retirement, exemplify
a devotion second to none.
He had the qualifications for Hamp-
den-Sydney man. Born of pioneer
; families Of Southside Virginia, his herit-
age and training eXemplified the high
est in Christian character. He fulfilled
his obligation, and left for others an ex-
ample.
No alumnus of Iampden-Sydney Col
lege since 1907 has failed to come under
the influence of Mr. Atkinson. He was
their friend; their interests and de-
velopment were his main concern. He
