series of decisions handed down
Monday the United States Supreme
Court added confusion to an already
confused situation.
Justice Arthur Goldberg in writing
the Courts decision regarding desegre-
cation of parks and Fairgrounds in
Memphis, Tenn, took occasion to warn
the South that indefinite delay would
not be tolerated in desegregation of
public schools. This matter was not be-
fore the court
The court rejected Alabama Gov.
George C. Wallace's challenge to the
assembling of federal troops in
Alabama, poised to intervene in the
States strife torn racial city of Birm-
lngham. The court said President Ken
nedy had taken preparatory meas
ures. The troops had not been used
and the request of the Governor was
premature Thus the Court sidestepped
the issue even though the Justice De-
partment had urged them to hear the
case on its merits
The Court did grant a hearing to
Dion T. Diamond, a Negro convicted of
disturbing the peace after making
speeches to students on the campus Of
Southern University in East Baton
Rouge Parish, La. He was convicted of
melting students to march through uni
verslty buildings where classes were in
progress and encouraged students to
boycott and leave classes. Diamond
claimed in his appeal that he was ex-
erclslng his constitutionally protected
right of free speech, and the Court
agreed to hear his case.
week ago, this same court decided
that a state or city may not interfere,
in any fashion, with peaceful racial in
tegration sit-in demonstrations in pub
lie places. The decision implied that
private business, serving the public,
had no right in the selection or control
over It's customers, so long as they did
not disturb the peace. The legal posi-
ton OF the private businessman is left
IN doubt, and the position of the law en-
forcement officers is questionable.
Coming before the court in due time
Will be the case from Savannah
Chatham county Georgia in which the
District Federal Judge refused to or
der desegregation of schools. Facts
gathered during the past nine years

were presented by reputable psycholo-
gists and sociologists to prove that
forced racial integration damaged
white school children more than seq
regated school systems damaged Negro
school children. The Sixth Circuit Court
in New Orleans within week overruled
the district judge on an appeal and the
case is now headed for the u. S. Su-
preme Court. We wonder if the u. S.
Supreme Court will grant a hearing.
Attorney General Button, of Virginia
has asked the Virginia Supreme Court
OF Appeals to expedite hearing and
decision in the case of the Prince Ed
ward School Board clarifying the re-
sponsibility of the state and the local
tiles for the operation of public schools
in Virginia. Judge Knowles decided
that the closing of public schools in
Prince Edward County does not violate
the rights of Negroes under the Con-
sltutions of the United States or Vir-
glnla. Governor Harrison requested the
Attorney General to make the overture
to the Virginia Supreme Court.
Prince Edward County Board of Su-
pervisors, after almost eight long years
of litigation, has brought the Fourth
Circuit Court face-to-face with the uues-
ton: Can legislative body be forced
to levy taxes by a federal judicial edict :?
This is the crux Of the entire situation
and upon it hangs the control of public
education, whether by local authorities
or the federal courts This question
must be answered.
The Fourth Circuit Court will hear
argument in June on appeal from Pow
hatan County, where the Powhatan
School Board has been ordered to enter
Negro applicants in the grammar
school and enjoyed the board from TAX
ing any steps to close public schools in
Powhatan County. The School Board
has no power to close schools. The
Board of Supervisors has only the DOW
er to levy taxes or not. But, the Board
OF Supervisors was not before the court
IN this case and had taken no official
action to withhold the levy.

Don't Feed The Monster

one of the troubles with government
is that it rarely sheds a bad function
or agency, but tries to cure it with more
tax money.
Indications are, for an example. that
the State Withholding system of tax col
Letting is not bringing in as much as
predicted. This might be an understate-
ment. Anyway, it leaves one cluster of
legislators mumbling eve told YOU So"
and another saying increase taxes,"
Any Withholding tax is sneaky in
principle, burdensome. and unfair.
1t is unfair because the taxpayers
lose the use of that portion of his earn
ed salary. He never sees it, he can never
derive any benefit or bank interest
from it.
Withholding is burdensome to the
employer and the State. The EMPLOYER.

thor's native state.
The story is one of violence
and conflict; the personal con-
flict of James MacGlaughin, a
Scotch immigrant in his struggle
to rule his coal kingdom and
his family, the struggle of his
daughter, Sarah to control her
crosses, her son, Jamie, her
daughter, Faith and her
Weakling husband, A Virginia
aristocrat. JAMES conflict is to
prove he is strong like the Mac
Glaughlins and not a weakling
like his father. Faiths conflict
is to adjust herself to the real
tiles of the MacGlaughlin's
world and at the same time to
protect her father from it. The
family conflict is, in our opin-
ion, unnecessarily violent and
not quite real.
The highight of the story is
the brutal conflict between the
labor unions who seek to or
game James mines, and old
James MacGlaughlin who be
leves that the control of his
own property is a God-given
right and who refuses to have
any dealings with the unions
whatsoever.
This part of the story is almost
gothic in its honor, but it seems
a true. if lurid, picture of what
took place in those dark noun
tains some thirty years ago.

not be a great book. but it is
certainly interesting one.

strument on which the Republic is
founded. Here we have the most august
Legislative body in the world, equipped
with every physical facility to provide
comfort, convenience and efficiency on
a luxurious scale inconceivable to the
average American, but it has, or at least
on this occasion had, no copy of the
Constitution available for one of it's
members to use when he needed it dur

tutional questions.

lect and the tax for the State. The
State must maintain larger tax bureaus
to process and prepare refunds.
Inc principle of withholding is
sneaky because adding a fifth of a per
cent now, half per cent later, is much
too easy. The wage Garner is not sun
posed to miss it at all when he paws it

A Review OF William Hoffman's
Latest Book, The Dark Mountains
BY Francis and Margaret Simkin

BY Francis and Margaret Simkins
A young man who is a retired
professor from Hampden-Sydney
College moved across the street
from us in Farmville several
years ago. We have not seen
much Of him and we wondered
why. Finally. we discovered that
he was busy writing books,
very hard and unpleasant job.
Then we went into the Weyan-
oke Book Shop where Mrs. New
ton, the proprietor showed us
what this young man had been
doing. In the last few years, he
had written three books, "A
Place For MY Head, Days In
The Yellow Leaf" and The
Trumpet UnbloWn."
Then Mrs. Newton showed us
a book that William Hoffman
had just written called The
Dark Mountains which has
been published by very famous
New York publisher, Doubleday
and Company, Inc, and sells for
the small sum of $4.95.
The Dark Mountains, is a
book to take to bed with you, if
you have plenty of bedtime lei

WASHINGTON, D. c., MAY


"a President Kennedy and
Premier Khrushchev are much
closer to a nuclear test ban
agreement that their bile
statements indicate.
In fact they probably could
reach an understanding without
undue difficulty but for one tow
ering obstacle = t h e certainty
that such a treaty would encoun-
ter prolonged and bitter oppo-
sition in the Senate.
At present it is extremely
doubtful whether the President
could muster the tWo-thirds ma
jority necessary to ratify a
treaty along the lines of the
draft under consideration in the
White House for submission to
the Soviet at the Geneva confer
ence, that is now in recess.
A bipartisan bloc of powerful
senators is prepared to wage a
strenuous battle again t this
backstage plan.
Prominent in this crit c a |
group are Senator Richard Rus
sell, D-Ga., chairman of the
Armed S SERVICE Committee,
Senator Barry Goldwater, R
Ariz.. and Senator Henry Jack
son, D-Wash., chairman of the
Interior Affairs Committee and
member Of the Armed Serv-
ices Committee and Joint Atom
ic Committee.
It is the understanding of
members of the bloc that the
latest draft treaty contains pro-
visions advocated by the Rus
slams.
Whether this record will be
put up to the Soviet is still I'M
decided.
In a recent exchange of let
ters, the President indicated
Willingness to meet Khrushchev
this summer on condition that a
n NC e ar test ban agreement
would be concluded.
While Khrushchev' reply left
the door open for a summit
conference. he raised the ques-
ton of whether any pact that
could be reached could gain the
acquiescence of your Con-
gress." The Kremlin ruler made
it clear he had strong misgiv-
ings on that.
This challenge explains the
speeches that lately have sud
denly erupted in the Senate Wig
orously urging a test agreement
with the Soviet, and defending
the administration S efforts and
proposals to reach one.
Latest of these oratorical fur
ries was the carefully-prepared
address Of Senator Wi1liam
Proxmire, Owls, in Which
Senators Paul Douglas, Dill.
Joseph Clark, D-Pa., and others
participated. The occasion had
all the earmarks of a staged
demonstration
The White House is heartily
encouraging such f a vora bl e
presentations for both home and
foreign consumption They are
definitely designed to bolster the
administrators hand in both
spheres.

Letters To Editor
Old Fashioned,
Patriotic Day

Dear Sir:
Having read an article in a
Farm magazine recently. recalls
my early childhood in Oklahoma
on Decoration Day. Everyone on
that day would meet at t h e
Dixie Cemetery, Stephens Coun-
ty, Oklahoma to weed the grave
yard and have a picnic lunch.
Now, May 80, Memorial Day,
has replaced Decoration Day,
and time to buy a red poppy in
remembrance of the dead. May
be you see only sadness in the
occasion but to me Decoration
Day serves the living by ac-
knowledging death. {
Anot her holiday I always
remember when I was young
was the celebration of the Fourth
OF July in Texas.
The day would start early and
end late with fireworks. In the
cour Sc, of the day we had
speeches, tennis m a tches S,
games for young and old, and
always a band concert in the
open air. Everyone brought
picnic lunch. Lemonade was al
ways furnished by the Chamber
of Commerce.
Often the celebration turned
commercial and the oratorical
speeches ended politically but
everyone had a wonderful time.
1t would be a wonderful ex-
perience for our young people
if the civic organizations in our
count y would plan an old
fashioned patriotic program at
the Recreation Field. III help.
