~ DITORIAL
The Die Is Cast

We hope that the course of events in Arkansas and
Virginia has convinced the president that his policy of

hope and drift in the realm of civil rights is no longerg |

tenable. The times cry out for active federal intervention.
There are some hopeful signs that the Administration grasps that fact. The government brief in the Little
Rock case was forthright; there are rumors that it plans
to use the full weight of it power in both Virginia and
Arkansas in case those states take the fantastic step of
trying to substitute ~private~ schools for the public
school system. The voting suit it has filed in Georgia is
some evidence that it plans to seek genuine enforcement

- of the Fifteenth Amendment.

Federal intervention musf'go far beyond the mere
sending of troops to, maintain order as it did in the Little
Rock crisis. It must use the full panopoly of state power,
including the filing of suits in the courts, the exertion of
executive ~coercion, and, above all, the weight of its vast
moral influence.

The president must abandon the pretense of neutrality
in the civil rights crisis. He must say what everybody
knows: That right and decency are on the side of Negroes
who seek -to exercise constitutional rights; that discrimination and segregation are moral wrongs which run contrary
to national ethics and to democratic pretensions..

If the Administration aligns itself- squarely; on the

pleasantly surprised by the intensity of the support it
will get, not only.in the North but also in the South. Its
own silence, and~ its own indecision have bred silence
and indecision in men and women of goodwill; they will
be relieved and will be quick to speak out when leadership is offered them.

The fight for civil rights is not a contest between
Negroes on one side and whites on the other. It is a test
that will\determine whether or not our democratic way of
life can continue to exist. Once: that fact is grasped the

CHICAGO. AS ~CALLED WORST SEGREGATED ci

NEW YORK ~ (Chicago today was called the worst
segrégated large city in the United States in a national
magazine article. ~

The' article in the current issue of Look Magazine,
~Chicago~s Segregation Tragedy,~ reported that ~almost
750,000 Negroes} are confined in the city~s ~Black Belt,~
an area defined by ~unspoken rules and, too often, by
mob action.~

Every week, the magazine said, Negroes. are taking
over 225 white housing units, expanding the ~Black
Belt~ west and south to middle class neighborhoods.

~The racial frontiers of our time are not in the

South but in the Northern nietropolitan areas,~ Joseph D.
Lohman, sheriff of Cook County, declared in the article.

Look also noted charges of the NAACP that 90 per
cent of the city~s.children go to segregated schools, and
an assertion by the Rev. Francis W. McPeek, director of
Chicago~s Commission on Human Relations, that only 10

of 63 private white hospitals pave, a Negro doctor on],

their staffs.

~**Weak in leadership ~ white or colored ~ Chicago
has no solution for segregation caused by prejudice and

fear and~the greed of some real estate operators and mort- |

gagors,~ the magazine said.

GOOD THOUGHTS TO REMEMBER

And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind
from his. birth.

2 And his disciples asked ~him, saying, Master, who
did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this-man sinned, nor
his parents: but that the works of God should be made

By these tests, the Little: Rock High School is a school

q] which should be able to integrate without difficulty. But
H\ Little Rock is a community in which orderly desegregation

was thwarted by the Governor and now is resisted by the

~| Legislature. The Supreme Court, consequently, had nv real

alternative than to order prompt integration.

It:is evident that ~Arkansas will resist by various means.
The immediate reaction of Gov. Orville Faubus was to close
Little Rock~s four high schools, under authority vested~ in
him by recent state enactment, pending a public vote on
the issue. Under the terms of the state law, an absolute
majority of qualified voters (impossible to obtain under the
circumstances would be needed to approve the reopening
of the schools under desegregated circumstances..

Legal action already has started to contest the constitutionality of this and similar.state laws. Meanwhile, the Fed-.
eral government, assuming that the local forces.of law and
order will not be used with any vigor, but realizing the
clumsiness and arbitrary u uality ofits use of paratroopers
last fall, has assembled a force of U. S. Marshals and deputies to ~implement court decisions if necessary.

The nation can hope, with Little Rock, that this issue is
determined by law, in the courts, and'~not in the schoolyards
