Solve the World Problems First

The Government of the United States and Russia appear
to be in a death struggle to be the first to reach the moon.
Just how important and valuable will such a feat be to the
peace and happiness of the millions of people on earth?

Two scientists discussing the matter could come up with
no better answer than that it would give added prestige
to the United States if we got there first. That kind of
prestige, it.seems to us, is of doubtful value. It amounts to
about the same thing as a man riding around in a Cadillac
or an Imperial Chrysler while his wife and children: are
starving to death.

The world we live in is a glorious place. In it and on it
are an abundance of resources sufficient to satisfy the basic
needs and give pleasure to the millions now living and the
millions unborn. The machinery has been developed by
the minds of, men to make the blessings of this world available to all mankind.

No nation in modern times has contributed so much
-to the peace and happiness of the world as the United
States of America. Few, if any nation, has contributed so
much to so many people. It was conceived in liberty. Its
founding fathers suffered, bled and died to protect the
dignity of the individual. The riches of this nation have
flowed. around the world in a continuous stream to help
the less fortunate.

Despite all these things there remains much to be done
on this earth by both the Government and.the people before
we go wandering around the moon, For what does it profit
a man to gain the whole world and ~~~ the universe if
he loses his own soul?

It seems to us that our major objective should continue
~o be peace and the brotherhood of man with justice and
iberty for all. After that goal has been reached then the |
~esources of this great nation could be spent to determine!;
the air density, if any, around the moon.

Questions for Governor.Faubus
Governor Faubus, following the appeals court~s reversal
of the district court order for a delay in Little Rock desegregation, has called on ~Negro parents and the NAACP~
to send~ Negro children to school ~with their own race during the coming year.~

Will the Governor give a firm. promise that at the end
of that year~or even of the two and a half years ordered
by Judge Lemley~he will support whatever ruling of the
federal courts applies to~his state at that time?

He has called upon the Little Rock School Board to use
the ~school assignment law, now on the statute books.~
Will he. promise to support the school, board should that
body apply this law honestly and not as a device to accom
_ plish racial segregation?

Governor Faubus also advises the board to meet with
Negro parents and officials of the NAACP and ~discuss -
frankly with them the.situation as it now exists.~ Considering all that happened during the past school year, it
would be our guess that only a thoroughly satisfactory
discussion with the Governor himself and firm assurances
from him would have meaning for these Negroes.

And the Governor reminds the school board that, although it has been ordered to proceed with desegregation
forthwith, it has every right to. oppose this order ~by any
and every legal means.~ There seems no doubt that Governor Faubus intends to resist. If he intends to\do so ~legally~
he must, in the recent words of the President, regardless
of ~agreement or disagreement,~ accept that ~the maintenance of order to permit compliance with the final orders
of the court is the responsibility of each state.~:

And how far does Governor Faubus expect to test the
President~s declaration that ~there can be no\equivocation
as to the responsibility of the federal government~~?

GOOD THOUGHTS TO REMEMBER

~Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of
the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

~But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his
law doth he meditate day and night.~~Psalms 1:1-2.

The Early Impressions Can Determine His Behavior

CHICAGO ~ ~I suppose that I have sent thousands of men
to jail. There were times when I was sentencing upwards of
400 q day. But I don~t think jail is the answer. I don~t think
improsoning a man helps him,~ says Judge Armond W. Scott,
in the current issue of Ebony Magazine.

The semi-retired judge of
the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia continues, ~As

Judge Scott, appointed in
1935 as the first. Negro judge
in the New Deal administration
of Franklin D.| Roosevelt, says
of the Districts Negro crime
rate:

~The cause is well _ known
and we mu continue to
work to reduce it. We've got
to improve our living conditions for many,.of..our people
and expand their work opportunities: The sub-standard
conditions under which many
of us are forced to live create the biggest handicap. Too
many of us live in ill-fit ghettoes, one room shelters. Family life is shot. Our biggest
drive in coming years should

his third term expired. The allwhite District. Bar. Association,
which had refused his application for membership, - petitioned
the attorney general to. grant
him two more years on the
bench so he could qualify for
a full $12,000-a-year pension,
and in an unprecedented event
the association sponsored a testimonial banquet in his honor.

Tributes from the distinguished jurists and lawyers have
earned for thé man _ who refuses to be known as ~a Negro
