2 —THE CAROUNA TIMESSatuf^ny, tAag. 28, 1958 The prctts, «>outhern governors and Boutherri congrfessrtien are screaming boly ter*x)r about the decision handed down ^ the i^ighth'jU.

They are aware that every of a federal court favoring Ne^pcigs always been viciously attacked by % Djuyority of wliitc southern leaders, liie .onl^ OMies ever praised are those bow ing iio southern wishes and traditions, such as Harry J. Lemley’s decision which S^rrei^d^red ito ^no.bbists, hoodlums, the Ku J^lfn such. the Circuit Court decision in part: "We say that tke time has not yet flBlw ttkcse Unite/i States wjb^o an or^er of 41 i^oiirt must be whittled gygy, watered down or shamefully in the face of violent and un* I %c4s 9I ipfUvlduaj citizens.” And f tiipiie II wi|U he in this country IH#* ClnuiU „ cwiurts wiU yield to ■ iyf^y sp.uiherner of sound [s«n^ tS Ood for the Cswrt fflJWiI- fft ^ th(C protection w| the rights of Negroes but of all citizens of these United States. Tjbe Little ®ock sphool case pcesents 9 |)ristiing challenge to this, nation’s entire legal structure. To wc{|ken in the leMt means the surrender of its courts to thp law less elements of this country. When that hour comes, the lives and the property of no citizen will be safe. The case trafnscends tJjaJ of race, color and creed, a^dtlo(^s before us as tl>e one item which niay determine the fate of democracy in a world whose darker people now stand at the crossroad. This is wl^at southern congj-eesmep, gpver- nors and the white press do not see, or pre tend they do not see. It is our sincere hope that some way will be found to prevent the stationing of fe^eral troops at'Little Rock again. If in the pourse of this unfortunate conflict there musjt be backing down, giving way or surrender, let it never be said that it came from our federal courts. If no other way can be found to establish the supremacy of the law over that of mobs or gangs of citi?ens bent on 'cqija- mitting violent acts to force thWF wil>, otfeer than at the point of bayonets, then let )t come. The supremacy of the laws of tju^ land must prevail. loMn Compii^iice Hot Inough ^ Nsg/fo citizens bf North Carolina need find ftp satisfaction or comfort over those of Vir- in^ely because in this state a token gf eoffipUsmce with integration in the public has be«a)>in4de in Charl(>tt& Green?- and Wii^n-§^«ipa. This very'"thing becoyne th6 l^fuge of segregationists, jpiVGT (fj|,pral courts and certainly state 9c»irts in"^ p^s how i>ending on th^ question of asaignii^ Negroes to schools in various localitiM. TJ)|S e^tpri^l is written to prevent Negro dtiz^ in this state from being lulled to sleep with thi» idea in mind that all is well in North Carolina on the integration front. It is •»^tten Ihi^t tjiose in Durham, Raleigh, P^int, F^y^te^ill^, Wilmington, other continue their ef- ft^rts to secu^for th^selves and unborn Une^tions to walk among others ^en jn thjffjcbjintry.

We call upon our chui;ches, c^i|bsi fraternities and individuals to give un^i| it hurts in order that|this stru^le may not weaken on account of a shortage of funds. Let us not be lulled to sleep because tqlon compliance has taken place elsewhere. I^orth Carolina may be playing a smarter game than those states where no effort to)v^d compliance h^s be^n made. By| so doing this state may be preparing its defend if and when the tinoe comes when if wijl f^ce a federal court for non-comp}i^cp. Cp^tainly our lawyers will find it harder tto prove that a state that has made token compliance has not acted in “good faith” thtp those in a state where no move has been made to inte grate the schools. ■ Before wjb start the parade ip honpr of North Carolina for admitting one or two) Negroes to previously all-Wl^te schoo^ we had better look behind ^Ije '^cepps, fpf. real cause.

He gives himself with all of his flaming passion and genius to the carrying out of these orders from Christ the Lord. He proves faithful to the orders of Christ, his Comman- der-^rChief. Nothing could move him. The threats of men nor demons could move him from his ORDERS FROM GOD. Everywhere and all the way he remains faithful to his orders from God. No wonder he could say on one occasion... “NPNE OF THESE THINGS J4QYE ME..” Every redeemed soul has ori ders from on high to^whicn he or she should remain faith ful. Why? In faithfulness we know that our labors in the Lord are not in vain. By ROBERT SPIVACK on the Potomac si^rvACfc 0|ir)|ig the carrent session of CoiifreM, as in previous sessioiis, the advocates of pi^br lie power and private power baye been locked in a bitter c^^Iict over tbe best way te _a^)ire cheap electricity for tbe the U.S. consumer. Re- ..cently we published the views of'a representative of the Americaii Public Power Assn. nW we are pleased to present th^ othef §ide of the argument _by Mr. J. E. Corette, hea4 of the i)d}spn Electric Institute ai)d president of the Montana Power Co.—k.G.S.) The confidence of the inves tor-owned electric utility in dustry in thihfw^e of Apjpri- ca is 0emo^rt|fe||,,by^U 1958 construction budget of almost $4.2 billiqn. Tl^is is by f^r the largest an^al po^stry^iqn .f u^i^et in 'To us in the j^(j|^|^hnifiu8try the prQjept business recession is merely ^ breathing spell or a tpmporary slowing up in the upward ttrad of the'! American ecopon^y. Recently at the Edison'Elec- tfic Institute’s convention in goston. my predecessor, J. Wes McAfee, gave the ipdus- 'try and tlu^ nation a glimpse at what the nekt 20 year\ hold or the electric industry and what goals the electric utili ties can expect to reach by the Coptennial Ce}ebrati|^n in 1979 of Thomas Edison’s inven tion of the first practical in candescent electric ligj}t. It’s a iglowing report, r^ectiqg at least one great industry’s faith in itself and the economy in which if thrives. The electric ' industry has made remarlcable .progress since World War II. Its capa city, output and sales have doubled. We believe the next 20 years wi^ eclipse any period of progress we have seen thus tar. In more concrete ternns,U057 saw a record output o| elec tricity in the United States. But by 1917 we believ^ sales w^ll reach three trillion kilo watt hours—more th«»q five timi^ last year’s recorjl. To accomplish tiiis the elec- trip c^mpppies ^re prepared to spend in the next 2Q years some $221 billion for i new electric platit^ and eqiiipment. This will produce the respired SOO million kilowatts of gene- rating capacify which is five times greAter than the current peak output. Out of such expansion of fa cilities and growth of b^ine«s the eleilric oompaniM can' look loqirard to a cor ding increase of revenues. The prediction is about $50 billion annually or more than s(x times the 1957 record of $8 billion. By 1979 federal, state and local governments will be enriched in tax payments at current rates by $12 billion annually from this industry. To reach these goals, the electric industry is going to have to sell about $500 billion worth -of electricity and one and( one-quarter trillion dol lars worth of electrical equip-' ment in the next 20 years. This is approximately five times as much electricity and foUr times as many appliances as the industry has void from 1879 to the present. ' , How are such gains possible? How can an industry more than quadruple its production and sales in one-quarter of the time it has taken to ^eaoh its present record level? Primarily, it iif because our country has the highest of all standards of living. The com petitive, free enterprising sys tem in America has created the enviable environment that allows last year’s luxury to beoome this year’s necessity. Hutnan nature is such that a person will hot deprive him self af the thing! cap (continued on pag* 7) Pear Mother, Paddy a“J ^ds: Happy birthday, Mother! Congratulations, Sheryl!

Zeoh, who is guardian fof all the guides I |Bcii(mp^n^ lis. lie Was A de«i' af i«t«i4eM* at the University of Southern California. We had a delight ful three-day trip - saw Co logne, Coblenz, Qqnn, Weis- baden, Aachei), and took a fiye-hopr boat trip up the Rhine from Weisbaden tp Co blenz. Germany is beautiful, and we saw ntany old castles and monasteries, etc. Periiaps the highlights of the trip were seeing tiie Cologne Cathedral and the chape} in Aafhen where Charlemagne was crowned. Saturday the 7th I went to Paris with four other guides. We got a hotel halfway be tween the Opera and the viic. During our ywee-^ays we visited most of the fampd places of interest: the ^t^el Tower, Arch of Triumph, the Invalides, the Louvre, tlie Place de la Ck>ncorde, • Notre Dame de Paris, the Ti^ilerie Gardens. I was a|nazed at how close the. places seemed o to- each qth^r. Just eye)ryppe says, Paris has a gay,, en chanting quality that’s hard to describe. . We hap ^ood, weather, and lov^d every minute of our visit. I missed both pe Gaulle, and Bardot. Maybe I’ll have better luck next time. Each dr Ihese'lrTps cost around $^0 00 including everything. Part of this lyas food which we- are paid for It would have cost $9.00 for the first three minutes.

I'm planning fo save tor a whife instead of traypiing. My next big hope is to visit Spain after the Exposltlori i* over. They say that Hving there is incredibly' inexpen sive, and Dr. Zech says once In southern Spain, It’s a cinch to cross the Strait into Africa. As you know I met Gtovemor Hodges in May. He seemM tV be a nice person. He me where I was fronj, apd where I attended collega.

Last week I was switched to Circarama, Walt Disney’s newest idea, of which th^e is only one other in Disneyland. It is a twenty-minute tTave- lo|ue of America witp a 360 degree screen.

Of course I’m learning a lot besides French. I learn a good bit about Europe, and for the first time I can see the United States in perspective.
