Salt water from the oceans,~ being heavier than fresh water, sometimes travels far enough upsircam along river bottoms to contaminate city water drawn from the. river. Spanish conquistadors under Hermando Cortes explored most of Mexico and much of the Southwest United States nearly a century before the Pilgrims landed in New England. There were 50,000 more persons injured in U.S. motor vehicle accidents last year than in 1952. Geysers in Iceland can be coaxed with a bar of soap to erupt for visitors.

I would like to comment briefly on the Army-McCarthy hear-} ings, particularly with respect te a gross inconsistency I have notiezd. It is this: whenever ~the Wisconsin Senator has made a point of order and engaged in a spiel about ~fair play~ and justice, I am reminded of the highhanded way in which he ~indicted, tried and eonvicted~ Mrs. Annie Lee Moss, a Negro employee of the Signal Corps. You may recall that |whenever Mrs. Moss attempted to defend herself against the charges of disloyalty and a bad security risk, McCar thy brutally shut her up. Of course when she was finally given thle opportunity to speak | in her own behalf, over McCarthy~s protest, the junior Senator from Wisconsin walked out of the hearings | room. Thanks to the fairness of other members of the committee, Mis..Moss was finally exonerated and reinstated in her job. This was done even though McCarthy ~didn~t see any need to hear her because. two witnesses said they knew a communist by that name.~ - Should not fair play and justice apply equally to all in all democratic hearings? ~ OTHER BRIEFS ~INTEGRATION OF SCHOOLS in|the south is going ahead notwithstanding the attitude~ of Governor Talmadge of Georgia. It was heartening to note the very favorable atitudes of boards of education in many communities affected more directly by the Supreme Court decision. For example, the (Superintendent of the St. Louis, Missouri~s Board of Education said they will begin the integration process in September.~ The School ~Board of Greensboro, North Carolina, _issued a statement to the effect that the Supreme Court ruled on the laws of the land and_ that they would comply with cision. NORTHERN CITIES TOO The Supreme Court decision has caused some Northern cities to begin examination of their schools that are attended by one} tial segregation. This shows to a decision. Dr. Benjamin Mays, president of Morehouse College, said ~Now, segregation cannot walk boldly down the street as the law of the land,~ EVIDENCE OF PROGRESS The graduation of Negroes from schools all over the country continues-to give evidence of an ever-increasing number of skills being acquired by our young people. We who are out of school should assist these youngsters by helping themto secure jobs in line with their training. SUPPORT OF NAACP ~ A RIGHT STEP All of us agree that we have a | responsibility of helping. young people to get training and jobs in their fields..
