person with the intelligence above
that of a third class moron will
agree that was an extremely' poor
way to handle a case of unsggra

Jugdes usually have a pretty good
idea who is telling the truth and
who is lying in every case before

pome person other than its owner,
it. should have been thought a
part of their duty to find out who •

COCKSURE: Every time a de
cision is rendered by the U. S
Supreme Court knocking down 3
southern state's segregation
scheme, North Carolina's Attorney
General. Mr. Patton, is quick to
rush forth with the statement that
the decision does not affect this
state. Mr, Patton is dead certain
that the N. C. School Assignment
Act, a measure inacted by the
1954 legislature to circumvent the
U. S. Supreme Court’s 1854 school
integration order, will be validat
ed by that court. Well, strange
things are happening these days
and you can’t rightly tel! when
the unexpected will take place,
but if the U. S. Supreme Court
cannot see that this act was put
upon the statute books of this
state merely to evade compliance
with its school integration decree
then all we have to say is Cod
bless the XJ. S Supreme Court and
God bless America. In passing,
we would like to ask Mr Patton,
if, as he suys. the Pupil Assign
ment Act will not be cast aside
by the U. S. Supreme Court, why
was it deemed necessary for the
governor to have “his’’ legislature
meet in special session to pass j
the infamous Pearsall Plan al
lowing for the closing of any or j
all of the public schools in North
Carolina, in case the U S. Su
preme Court ruled against the i
Pupii Assignment Act.
That was 3 whole lot of money
thrown down the drain in having i
the legislature hold a special ses- :
sion ts what they were called to I
meet for had already been accom- j
plished. It may take a long lime i
but we hope and pray to be around !
vb-.u the people of this state will j
have their eyes open to machine- s
tions of 'he Democratic Party in j
North Carolina arid hand it’ th« I
defeat it has richly earned.
