It comes io lis this category also? Yes, they belong to the self-seeking clan of,Simon the sorccrer. The blessings of the Spirit of God are things mpney cannot buy. The Spirit is a free gift of God. Too many selfish profit seek ers would drape themselves in the sacred mantle of the spirit. Yes, there are always those who would -turn the most sacred things to selfish uses. Such people would at tempt to giv£ respectability, to tiieir selfish motives and actions. Simon saw the won ders of the spirit of God in the lives of men. So he would u^ the most sacred thing for magical ends and aims. Here we have one of the most das tardly expressions of ugliness of human selfishness.: .“Htrnf' fercd them money saying give me this power...” The Spirit of God is not a cfynmodity to be bought and sold in the market place.

To Judge Lemley, as to the school board members, such a step seemed necessary to the interest of “eliminating, or at least ameliorating, the unfor tunate racial strife and ten sion which existed in Little ^ock during the past year and still exists there.” Maybe it is necessary. If the Littl^ Rock affair were no bigger than Little Rock itself, it would iJe easy to endorse the Judge’s decision without reservation. Thei school bpard there had moved voluntarily to comply with the Supreme Court’s de cision of May 1954. It had seen a set of facts arise last autumn over which it had HttJe control, but vfrhich had taken matters pretty much out of its cfwn hands. The governor of the stat^ stepped m to block its pl»h*- the process. Tensions rose and broke into violence. Para troopers poured in. Public support fell away from the school board. Central High school came to be less a cen ter of education than a for tress for which two armies seemed to be contending. We do not doubt that the school board acted in good faith when it broke under the abuse and the chaos anfl asked the federal courts to ball it but. We do not doubt that Judge Lemley acted fti 'good faith in allowing its pfca. Yet is is doubtful that the Judge’s order 'will Tifelp even Little Rock in the long run. Who can say that, ofJce it is beaten back, ’ des'f glfegatlon will be any easier in lOTl than in f957? Orval^Faubus may be ^ut ^ ;4pwjnjr’i mansion ’by therf, ftut'5u'dt[e Lemley’s order - If it is.

In the American capital is \ how he avoids grttmg drown- . od in news. He niust learn in sheer self-defense to become selective. Just too much is happening and at too many pkices simul taneously.

This is the big event in his Journalistic week and there is ho toftipetition fTom the news point of view. y It is interesting to see that a' debate in the American ~ orcss and on television is taH- ing place over the value 0f these Presidential news coji- ftrences. Nothing like it—Maybe ibr a foreign observer it 'is easier to see how great this institution is and how unique.

But as ah intellectual exercise, so to speak, this is Kk ejtactliig-MttfM At to|ric of the debate is fixed in ad vance. The Washington news con ference jumps on the contrary from one theme to the other over the whole range of po litical and humar» experience in a terrible complex and complicated society. There is no capital in the world, be it cjf a small or a big power, which gives 'a foreign corres pondent the extradrdinary chance to see the bead of government react -spontane ously and in a large variety of ■ways to all the current prob^ lems. The Presidential news cdn- fercncc and the weekly medt- ings With the Secretary fef State are. the two most impcA:- tant direct approaches to tie “sphere of decision” open to the foreign correspondent In Washington. This is not only listehing to questions beiig ahswei^d. It is a baromctrte process, the most immi^iate Chance to gauge trends aAd positions^ the U.S. Goverh- xHenr. But what alrout “scoops”?
