* i.... THE WHOLE PICTURE
5, In an editorial some weeks ago the
if. NAws and Observer quoted and com
mented upon a statement; made by C. C
Spaulding in his address at the Y ash
jington High School commencement ex
ercises:
“We are making progress. The State
oi North Carolina spends more on Negro
education than it spent on all of its
Schools, .both white and Negro, thirty
five years ago,”
.The editorialist, went on, very sensibly,
sav. and incidentally to pay a real
and rare type of tribute to Mr. Spauld
ing :
“As a ' err successful Negro Carolina
/ and one of the most successful business
men of his race anywhere. Mr. Spuald
mtf has no felling that his race has
teached any point where discrimination
in schools and other matters does not
exist,There is nothing subservient in his
. nature, He can, however, see the clear
facts of advancing fairness in all racial
dealings in North 1 arolina. Tie believes
it is important that his people reognize
toe fact of the advance which benefits
them.”
In all this w p believe that the News
* anc * Observer is right. It is important to
recognize tlm progress that has been and
is being made-progress that in retro
fpeef is often little -short of amazing If
is important for the morale and spirit
, health of our people, and for the a
•vcidance of undue pessimism and feell
’ngs of fu-stration. that w e b e always a
ware 0 the gains that haev been made
The sort comings arc H ]} f OO ob'ious and
omnipresent.
Men like Dr. Spaulding and the late
¥ Dr. Shepard have owed their popularity,
which is based on genuine respect, part
ly to their ability to sea and interpret
I the whole picture, neat!" balancing the
' emphasis on the brighter and darker
phases of that picture, and always find
ing more reason to hope than despair
from what thev see and interpret.
The CAROTIN AN has consistently

ships in North Carolina and all over, al
ways happy to find and publicize in
both its news and editorial columns the
good.the hopeful’ the commendable in
* our white neighbors and on the inter
racial scene. We believe that whatever is
inspiring and productive of a sound sense
icf gratification and eptimism should be
publicized at least as much as those
/things w hich are bound to produce indip

sense of frustration.

always to avoid foaming at the mouth or

McCarthy outdoes himself
Senator McCarthy, who has already
established a similarly unsavory repu
tation for mudslinging and smearing,
may have reached the height, of his per
formance in these respects when in a
long speech on the Senate floor he ac
cused not onlv Dean Acheson but
Secretary Marshall of dislovaltv to the
United States. His accusations if true
would make these two patriots practi
cally traitors to their own country.
The absurdi-v of such irresponsible
charges is so obvious that they connot
harm the tvo men at w hom they were
aimed. If anything their position has
'been strelightened by these latest ful
s
mi nation? of McCarthy
Long before he finished his speech h e
was almost alone in the S -nafe cham
ber. which shows how hD senatorial
colleagues felt about him and what he
was saying, there was a time when the
Republican leadership was egging Sena
ade against the State Department and
tor McCarthy on and supporting his tir
iother agencis as being politically good
for the Republican arty. Well, they got
him started and helled him along, open
ly or behind the scenes. Now they can’t
hut him up. tie has become a liability to
the party. No one wil now give any heed
to a man whose statements are so wild
as to make it painfully evident that
there is no self-imposed limit to what
he wil say about any member of the De
moratic administration. He V-a over
reached himself to the point where his
sayings are either openly or secretly
deployed by all sensible people, and
only te most confirmed crakpots will
lend an ear to him. . . . . .'.

NO DIME UNIVERSITY POSSIBLE
Dr. Alfonso Elder, president of North
Carolina College at Durham, did himself
proud in resenting an unequival ase a
gainst the proposal that N. C College
at Durham attempt to offer "ork leading
to the Ph. D. degree. Both be and the
members of the board of trustee of
North Carolina College who supported
him should be congratulated for their
forthright scotching of the desperate
scheme to keep qualified Negroes out
of the University of North Carolina by
setting up what wo'dd have been a farci

By pointing out that it would take

THOUGHTS
Robert S. Allen. the well
known Washington svndicated
correspondent who used to be
a partner of Drew Pearson m
producing Washington Merry-
Go-Round.'’ has recently given
in his column chat may be an
interesting sidelight on Presi
dent Truman's present attitude
on civil rights legislation. This
legislation has definitely been in
abeyance since the beginning of
the Korean War. but so have
most of the President's ‘‘Fair
Deal’ measures and proposals.
For instance quite recently the
president of the American Medi
cal Association told the member
ship of that body in effect that
it might relax a little in its an
xiety concerning compulsory
health insurance or “socialized
medicine. ' since legislation on
that subject has little chance
for a while.
But back to the subject Mr.
Allen was telling about confer
ences President Truman has had
lately pight of them—-with con
gTestonal leaders of bis party, in
»n attempt to bring about, unity
within the Democratic family In
these conferences, says Allen,
“president Truman is giving no
ground on either tire civil r ights
•program or- Secretary of State
Dean Acheson. Concerning tha
former, Mr Allen reports

Senator Russell agreed,
gavs Alien, that tin'ly is a
vital necssity. “However.

THE HAND WRITING ON THE
WALL
Without any doubt the upper
■most, public question in the
minds of the people in the South
is the question of segregation or
nonsegregated schools. And es
pecially is the question a “hot
potato'' so far as it pertains to
the public elementary and se
condary schools
This writer does not regard
himself enough of a prophet to
dare attempt to state just how
or when the foregoing questions
will be setted. However, he does
believe that the practice of se
parating people solely on the
basis of race is an inherient
violation of the laws of God as
well as an inherient violation of
the principles and spirit of de.
rnoci'Rcy. Then. it. follows that if
the practice has its it certain In
herient evils and is fundamen
tally wrong, it centalny some day
will be discontinued.
