To the Editor:
Congressman Richard H. Poff
IN his July Is Report from
Washington" has as his leading
comment, Boycott Rockwell, !"
and states:
George Lincoln Rockwell,
self proclaimed 'F'uehrer' Of the
American Nazi Party, is cur
rently touring the state of Vir-
GINA with his Storm Troopers
and says that he plans to speak
in Roanoke some time in Au-
gust. His avowed purpose is to
recruit volunteers for a civilian
army which he expects to lead
against the Negro demonstra-
ton planned for August % on
Capitol Hill in Washington.
"Just as l hope that no Negro
citizen of our Sixth Congress
sional District will lend himself
to a demonstration which is
bound to be self defeating, just
so do I trust that no white citi-
zen of our district will lend him.
self, his name or his resources
to RockWell's cause. Rockwell,
as Hitler was. is primarily a
hate -peddler, and hate is the
most costly commodity in the
market Of human emotions.
Hate fathers no solutions, hate
corrodes the conscience of its
own father, and finally. hate
ashamed Of itself. breeds its
own kind.
Let us not buy what Rock
well is selling. Let him speak.
as the Constitution says he can,
but let him speak to empty halls
and deaf ears. Let him leave
our district convinced that our
people may hate what man
does without hating the man and
that our people will resist con
duct that is hateful to Us. not
with violence against violence in
the streets. but with lawful pro
cess in legal forums.

law and order should be convin-

Why Not For Us?

1T would be nice if our federal govern
ment would accept some of it's own
advice to the inept Central Congo gov

After consulting with several West
European governments which will help
the United States send $3.50 million aid
to Congo this year, the United States
ambassador dispensed some hard-t to-

Adoula
The United States. which will pro-
vide half the money, took the lead in
laying down these conditions for the
Congo before the aid is dispatched:
Congo ministries which have been in
dulging in free spending will have to
live within their budgets.
Foreign exchange procedures will
have to be frightened
Foreign trade agreements must be
adjusted to insure that reserves of hard
currency are wisely used.
Since our government practices free
spending, and keeps on following pol
icies which cause our gold supply (hard
currency reserves to dwindle, the Con-

another
They may just wonder why we re-

Long, Clear Look
To Future Seen
By DR.. D. NJ. Allan

Editor, The Farmville Herald:
The reelection of Mr.. John
Steck man of the highest in
tegrity and ability last Tuesday
virtually ensures the continu-
ance of the present closed school
policy until the courts have de-
clared themselves on the two
constitutional issues" Time
will tell whether our position as
a County is soundly constitution
al or whether we have been tilt
ing at Windmills. Manlfestly we
are in a box which everyone de-
plores and it seems fair to say
that the short sightedness of
both races led to this dilemma.
A long, clear look at the future
is surely called for.
First, as to the relationships
between the two ra C G S. The
rather stern attitude officially
taken here does not quite do JUS
tlce to the unusually patient,
long suffering spirit of our Ne
gro citizens when we compare
them with those in other areas.
Your temperate editorial The
Gordian Knot is tie first state
ment of genuine concern for the
plight of our schooless Negro
pupils that l have seen from Of
tlclal sources S. Though it Of
fers constructive suggestions, it
speaks OF temporary alienation
rather than of the future.
Now Governor Harrison is one
OF many wise. Southern states
men who have spoken of the ne
cessity of calm, fair minded BIZ
racial discussion in the present
emergency The white people in
our area have perhaps naturally
felt that they know what is best
for both races Our Northern
friends have too and with less
justification. But it is evident
now that both were in error. If
you live in a democracy and 10
to 50 per cent of the population
belong to different race, the
dominant race cannot assume
that it has all the wisdom with
out the grace of mutual consul
tatlon. We pare n S face the
same pro b | e m in a lesser
sphere. Where one race is very
different in culture and tenn
permanent. this listening and
bordering is all the more ur-
gent. Would it not be advisable
to have adequate Negro repre-
sentation on the County School
Board?
Second, our Board of Super
visors should consider their au-
thority as a social trust for the
care of all the citizens and not.
primarily, for the defense of
their own race. The exercise of
local power by pulling tight the
purse-stlings declining to ap-

certed plans for the educational

Fiscal Brakes

VIRGINIA Senator Harry F. Byrd re-
Gently told reporters he didn't be-
lieve we should lower taxes until we
made drastic cuts in federal expendi-
lures
The Democrat who heads the Senate
zFsinance Committee fears the deficit
next year might reach fifteen billion
dollars and he says no Congress has
gone ahead and voted tax reductions in
the face Of such a huge deficit. Senator
Byrd says he would like to see taxes
reduced but that first he wants to see
economies in the federal budget.
There is absolutely no doubt the Vir-
gnian's position is sound one In fact
everyone is in favor of budget reduc-
tons. if they can be made without prov
ing detrimental to the nation. And on
this qualification the thorny point is
reached.
Too many iobholders and others who
would be directly affected by govern
ment economy, or budget cutting, are
all for economies except when they af-
feet their jobs and lives Perhaps this
is natural.
1t is good that Senator Byrd keeps
trying Even if he is outvoted, his voice
in the wilderness accomplishes some
thing and he often keeps the budget
from being even worse by his constant
plea for financial order.

These American Women!

A MEXICAN women have been quoted
as being veXed that the Soviet Union
sent the first woman into orbit around
the earth. Glare Booth Luce was quoted
by wire service as saving the Rus
slams had gotten ahead of us because
they let women assume an equal share
IN society.
Other women were quoted as being
disappointed and one famous woman
pilot said she knows we could have ac-
comphShed this feat before the Rus
SLAMS. There is n8 doubt that she could
have.
These complaints miss the point Mrs.
Luce's comment is, of course, the sill
liest of all. In her struggle to put wo-
man III mans clothes, she, like so many
other women. forget that women in
America enjoy all the advantages Of
being women and those of being equals,
as men, too.
The United States does not use wo-
men to clean the streets and do the
heavy manual labor. as is the case in
the Soviet Union. We also make life
easier for women in countless other
ways.
And the simple reason we would not
send women out into orbit in space SO

A month ago Mr.. White didn'
have the strength to lift his
head off his pillow or talk fol
five minutes to visitors.
The near miraculous trans
formation was made possible bY
'pacemaker", a battery-pow.
cred device placed inside Mr.
Whites body and connected tc
his heart by wires. The current
emtnattng from the pacemaker
provides the necessary stimulus
to keep the heart pulsating at q
normal rate.
Mr.. Whites return to an ac-
tive life was made possible by
the interest of a number of per-
sons, including his mailman, Ir-
van Aydelotte.
Mr.. Aydelotte, Delmar chair
man of the Delaware Heart AS
soctatton, worked together with
area doctors to chart Harry's
course to the Delaware Heart
Association clinic in Whining
ton and ultimately to the Hospital
OF the University Of Pennsylvan-
Ia where he underwent the life
saving operation.
Mr.. Whites history of heart
difficulties dates back to Novem-
Der, 1857, when at the age of 70
he began to have blackout spells.
He was hospitalized for short
periods In Seaford and SALISBURY.
His chief problem was his hearts
inability to maintain a pace rate
that was rapid enough to sustain
normal body functions.
In the Salisbury Hospital, his
progress was assisted by the use
Of bedside pacemsker, a device
similar In effect, but much Iarg-
er than the one that was even
tually placed inside his body.
When he returned home, Mr..
White was given a prescription
for 'ltttle black pills" which he
took to speed up his heart beat.
"About year ago he had a bad
spell and the doctors ordered him
to step up the intake of these
pills until they got his pulse up, /"
Mrs. White said.
At Christmas he tried to travel
to his daughter-in-1aw's home.
Before he was able to step out of
his front porch, he had a black
out spell and was forced to return
to bed.
In the first three months ofthts
year he left his home only once,
to travel to a neighbor's house a
short distance away.
"m January we didn't think
he's ever recover. We didn't
think he would nve," his wife
confided.

Mrs. F. William Jahns. Jr.
then presented Mrs. Marion
Harvey, soprano, who sang
beautifully.
The banquet speaker was Mrs.
William H. Hasebrook, brilliant,
sophisticated, and the recipient
of at least three Ph.D's who en-
deared herself to the audience
because she was grandmother
and, what's more, she talked
about her grandchildren. Run of
the mill persons who have this
failing are always pleased when
V.I.P's such as DR.. Seidel and
DR.. Hasebrook do the same. The
subject Of Mrs. Hasebrook's ad-
dress was Tomorrow Is To-
day.. She pegged her speech to
four specific illustrations using
first the stand taken by Sir
Thomas Moore, Lord Chancellor
OF England, who was urged by
Henry, VII, to dissolve his
marriage to Anne Of Aragon in
order that he might marry Anne
Bolyn. For his refusal he was
sent to the gallows, but on the
way was heard to say, 81 die
in and for the Church Of Eng
land. I build for the Church of
tomorrow" The second was
Calico who had to recant his
belief that the earth moved, but
in low voice murmured, "And
yet 1t does move." The third
example was George Washing
ton whose faith in his ragged
and hungry troops at Valley
Forge led to Americas free
dom. Mrs. Hasebrook then told
Of Winston Churchill who, with
faith and determination, went
before the English people
promising only blood, toll, tears
and sweat but rallied the waver-
Ing nation to fight on till VIC
tory was theirs. These, and
thousands Of others who planned
Today for Tomorrow, had in
common the fact that they were

all acted positively. One can't
