Neil Flanagan appears this week
as Christopher sherwood, a young,
disorganized English writer strug-
Cling to create. He is the camera
who is trying to develop a story
from his surroundings. The role of
Girls sherwood portrays the mes
sage. and in many instances sets
the mood of the play. Neil projects
this message most successfully. AS
hypochondriac, Neil convinces
even the doctors in the audience.
Jim Haire is excellent as Fritz
, Wendell, another of the confused
souls of the play This is not an
easy part to play, and the accent
to be used does not make the task
any easier. Jim's facial expressions
are perfect and his accent is con-
vincing. His performance left no
doubt that he is very talented
young man.
Give Mortimer, the big Texan
who spends money in a big way,
is very much alive and very humOr-
Gus thanks to Del Mckenzie. Per-
Ihaps the secret is that only true
Texan can do the job properly If
so, De! is certainly the right man
for the part, as his home is in Fl
Paso. Del plays this part as if it
had been written especially for
him.
Once again, Fran Billings has
turned in more than satisfactory
performance. Fran portrays a
lyoung Jewish girl caught up in the
tragedy of the time. Just the right
amount of sweetness and innocence
necessary for Natalia to be cOnVin-
Icing come across in Fran's acting.

Bad Actor

When Governor George C. Wallace
on Tuesday afternoon said 1--WE are
winning this fight" he was fooling no
n e but himself, least of all those to
whom he spoke at Foster Auditorium.
If his purpose in being at Tusca-
loosa was to keep two Negro students
out of the University of Alabama, he
had already failed because they were
already installed in dormitories on the
beautiful University campus.
If his purpose was, as he had re-
peatedly stated, to makesa constitu-
tional fight against forced desegrega-'
tion, then he chose the wrong battle
field by coming to the University. He
should have kept it in the court room
where it belonged.
And if his purpose was to drama
tie to the people of the United States
what a big bad monster the Federal
government is, he failed in that, too.
The Federals gave him every courtesy
and consideration.
Wallace did succeed in showing he
is a little man with a big arrogance and
c%onceit, a man who will use every asset
of a state to carry out his own vain
ambitions for fame and glory.
Instead of carrying out and abiding
by court orders, as he was morally and
legally bound to do. having sworn to
uphold the Constitution of the u. S.,
he elected to defy and put on for all

To follow the line Of least

More important still, by his great
show of mobilizing state troopers and

later necessitating the federalizing Of
the Alabama National Guard by the
President, he contributed immeasur-
ably to the heightdning Of tensions
and emotions not only in Tuscaloosa,
but throughout the state, adding to
an already explosive situation emar-
ating from the Birmingham crisis.
In short, Governor Wallace him
self was the only threat to law and
order at The outset. BY defying the
Federal Court, he set an example. for
other citizens to also defy law and
order, and set in motion other factors
which could easily prove tragic.
And if or when other Alabama

This murder was committed by an
ignorant product of a sick, hate-filled

segment of our white community that
has succumbed to hate. God help us
when the Negro starts hating in

1t is imperative that each OF us ex-

Barnett declared QUOTE: "It would
be futile and unWise for the state of
Mississippi to enter a physical and

Negro Cleve Mcdowell and Negro
James Meredith have not integrated
the University of Mississippi. They
have been installed under duress and
are virtually encapsuled and insulated
from the student body by the physical
and psychological presence of armed
Federal might.
So long as it is good politics and
good press relations beyond the paper
curtain for our national leaders to
force racial ntegration of Southern
public institutions, they will do so. Now
they are even trying to extend the
ugly tactics to private business estab-
lishments. It's tragic for us and it's
tragic for the Negroes.
Some day there will be a general
awakening among the Negroes and
the white liberals that equality is not
attained by forced entry = being there
is not the same as being accepted.
Their stated goals are quite impossible
= not just in the South, but every
where else.
The times are against us - but
time is on our side. Northerners are
different from Southerners when
their traditions, customs and personal
and way of life are being conn.,
PEELED to be changed - And they are
realizing it rapidly.
Nevertheless, until the world
comes to its senses and the race
hysteria passes, there will be con-
flicts. Within the spaces of just months
the drama of law versus law = pres
sure versus pressure and man

the smallest of our Mississippi COM

can help create a climate that will
promote harmony, mutual respect from
all elements, peace and economic prog
ress.
Newspapers are the fountainhead
of public enlightenment and the cata-
lysts for good leadership. It's a magni-
ficent role we have been called on to
play - difficult and demanding - it

determination and all of our courage.
