WHATS HAPPENED TO u S.?
AP|ea for a Few More Squares

These remarks on "The Re-
turn Of the Square" were con-
tanned in a speech by Charles
II. Brewer, president of the
advertising firm Of Batten,
Barton, Durstine e. Osborne,
Inc., and were put in the Con-
gressiOnal Record by Represen-
tative Schadeberg. Republican
Of Wisconsin.
Back in Mark Twains day, one
Of the finest words in our Ian
guage was square" You gave a
man a square deal if you were
honest. And you gave him a
square meal when he was hungry.
You stood foursquare for the
right, as you saw it, and square
against everything else. When you
got out of debt, you we're square
with the world. And that was
when you could look your fellow
man square in the eye.
Then a lot of strange characters
got hold Of this honest, whole
some word, bent it all out of
shape and gave 1t back to our
children. Convicts gave it the first
twist, To them a square was an
inmate who would not conform
to the convict code. From the
prisons it was flashed across the
country on the marijuana circuit
OF the bopsterS and hipsters. Now
everyone knows what a square is.
He Is the man who never learned
to get away with wrongdoing. A
Joe who volunteers when he
doesn't have to. A guy who gets
his kicks from trying to do some
thing better than anyone else can.
A boob who gets so lost in his
work that he has to be reminded
to go home A fellow who laughs
with his belly instead of his upper
lip. A slob who still gets choked
up when the band plays America
the Beautiful"

On Way. to Extinction

His tribe isn't thriving too we'll
in the current climate. He doesn't
fit too neatly into the current
group of angle players. corner
cutters, sharpshooters and goof-
offs. He doesn't believe in OPEN
ing all the packages before
Christmas. He doesn't want to fly
now and pay later. He's burdened
down with old-fashioned ideas Of
honesty, loyalty, courage and
thrift. And he may already be
on his way to extinction.
He and all the rest of us are
living in a country today that is
quite different from the one that
we were taught to love. Parents
have successfully defended in
court their children's right to ig-
more the flag salute. Faculties and
student bodies have found it dis
tasteful to publicly take an oath
of loyalty to their country. And
the United States Military Acad-
emy has found it necessary to
place a sign beside its parade
grounds at West Point reminding
spectators that it is customary for
men to remove their hats at the
passing of the banner that was
once unashamedly referred to as
"Old Glory"

Georgia in 1861

Georgia's submission to Fed
eral mandate in 1861, with the
entrance of Hamilton Holmes and
Charlayne Hunter to Its University
was especially significant because
the legislature bowed and swept
aside some of the Nations most
extensive school segregation laws
to avoid chaos.
With surprising frequency,
leaders in the remaining two
States use the names of neigh
bors In referring to their choices:
When officials in Alabama and
South Carolina say Mississippi"
in discussing schools. they mean
ultimate defiance with the likeli-
hood of violence. When they say
Georgia" they mean fighting
integration to the last step in the
courts and then complying with
out disorder, marshals and troops.
South Carolina clearly followed
the course of Georgia. Extensive
preparations were made at Glenn
son and highway patrolmen and
officers of the State Law Enforce
ment Division were numerous
around the campus, in the Western
part of the State, and all roads
into Clemson we're carefully
guarded, officials say. Clemson

ATLANTA.-The last two States
without segregated schools move
toward dates with decision In the
ninth year since segregated educa-
tion was declared unconstitu-
tional.
For South Carolina. classroom
desegregation began last Friday.
For Alabama, no date has been
set. but September seems likely.
These two States of the old
Confederacy-brothers in history,
agricultural and industrial pur-
suits. racial patterns and way Of
life-are heading into their crises
on different courses.
On January IA Gov. George c.
Wallace was cheered as he said
in his inaugural address that Ala
bama is dedicated to segregation

Complete Segregation's Last Stand

have been filed in Birmingham,
and these also may come to a
head In September.
Though 1t will not close the
book on school desegregation cri-
sis, 1868 thus almost certainly
will be recorded as the year when
the Supreme Courts decision of
May II, 1854, finally reached into
every State.
When the court announced In a
long awaited decision that
separate educational facilities
are inherently unequal" II
Southern and border States. as
we'll as the District of Columbia,
maintained complete segregation
in elementary and secondary pub
lie schools except in a few COM
munities having only occasional
Negro children to educate.
Within three years after the
court decision. according to the
Southern Education Reporting
Service. every State in the South
had passed stronger laws aimed at
preserving segregation.
Then came the long struggle.
The names Of Clay and Sturgis.
KY. Clinton, Tenn, and Little
Rock, Ark, recall the agonies of
the first steps. Not for six years,
until 1860. did the school year
open in the South without vio-
lence.
Actually, only five of the II
Southern and border States had
no State school desegregation
even on the college level before
1854. These were Georgia. South
Carolina, Alabama, Florida and
Mississippi
The first of these to be tested
was Alabama. On February /, 1856,
Autherine Lucy entered the Uni
versity Of Alabama under court
order and attended classes three
DAYS amid riots. She was expelled
after charging the school trustees

President Robert c. Edwards let
the students know that he would
tolerate no disorder.
The student newspaper. the
Tiger, conducted an editorial cam
paign to discourage defiance, as
serting: The tragedy that was
Mississippi must not become the
tragedy that is Clemson"
Although the race issue was
central for many years in South
Carolina politics. neither Of the
major candidates for Governor

as that may be. / mean that we
have been importing, instead of
exporting, ideas.
The United States of America
was once the greatest exporter of
ideas the world had ever known.
We created and sold abroad the
idea Of individual dignity, re-
sponsibility and freedom. We
created and sold the idea of gov
ernment of the people, by the
people and for the people - an
idea that is still being bought
today. We exported the idea of
freedom of worship the idea
Of an unfettered press the
idea that those who are taxed
should be represented. ...
1t is hard to find a basic idea
that America has recently ex-
ported. We have bought in the
bazaars of Asia Minor the idea
that an honest man is either a
fool or a liar. From our most
mortal enemy We have bought the
idea of a strong government for
weak people. We have bought
abroad the ideas of Let George
do tor Whats in it for me?"
