cation rulings on the Southern
Establishment.
"Racial segregation under the
Constitution was groggy in 1854"
he said. "The thing that brought
about BROWN (the school deseg-
regation decision) was not Chief
Justice Earl Warren or any of
the other favorite whipping boys;
it was the slow, but memorable
march of free men down century
fos striving in a national eli
mate and in a changing world
whice gave moral blessing to
their struggle.
eff in 1854 the South lost the
basis of its society, then that
basis is we'll lost, for no people

SO mean and lowly a dogma as
skin color and the accompanying
societal contrivances and decep-
lively comforting myths that blot
out, now and again, the unlovely

will start up in retail trade and services to

SOURCES - 1.-THE four-season attractions
of Arizona, coupled with development of
our rivers, lakes, streams, mountains, des-
