deep South states.
Back in the days when the ^f»raita but

white cbiMifen with a superior education at
tbe eitpense of Negro children. Now that
Nt^roes are awa!re of the yfeiouswess of the

z^latin that it is well nigh impossible, from a
r£j|i|^cial stendpoint, to maiHtaiii tWo set^-

McCall’s Magazine is right about Negfo

We are left in speeehlcss
wonder as we behold the outer

Christ can do in a sinful soul.
Yes, the rbdemption of Christ
leaves us in speechless won

demus, “H6w can these things
be?” Here is a man mad, furi

mysteriously transformed or

is one who has no respect for

for speechless wonder and
amazement. I sat in speechlcss
wonder and anuzement the
other day as I finished read
ing tlie story _pf a map who
had been changed and con

is right; “Amazing Grace that
changed a wretch like me...”
You must experience for
yourself the power of redeem

others stand by in a kind of
speechless amazement.

By ROBERT SPIVAGK
Watcb on the
- It is now more than five
yeara since Dwight D. Eisen
hower , has been President.
Yet the question coiitinually
arises; Does Mr. Eisenhower
fully realize the power, pres
tige and moral persuasiveness
that automatically accrues to
the' man who occupies Tlile
White Hou^?
At his latest press conference
the answer seemed to be both
“yes” and “no”.
As has beenitl^case $oi often
this past year, the i^sae t)f
school inte^atlon* ‘dominated
the news. This time tHe Presi
dent seemed determined to get
tHfe jump off h^'trt^cs who
have frequently contetided hte
always lets'a crisis . j^evelop
rather than acting tO«head it
Off.
Hie President, dfes^ in a
tan summer suit, lOoki^ grim
as He walked Into thie press
conference room. In Kis right
fawia Me lm'Id’a"rtwet-fa paper- ■
and he opened the conference
by reading from it.
This time the President said,
without engaging in personali
ties, that the law enforcement
authortties bad better uphold
the Supmn^Ciourt tateffatiqjt.
dedston, or, he hnplied, fede
ral troops would once again be
aaerf to thwart violence and
^i^esBness.
Gov. Faubus Immfediately in-,
terpretcd this as applying to
himself.' Cliaractertstically he
began a name-calling'contest,
said the "luster had worn off”
the President’s reputation, and
set himself up as the man who
would decide what was or was
not constitutional.
The character of Faubus’ re^
action showed that it was
clearly in the national interest
for the President to let it be
known Bef6re school opens,
lust what he intends to do.
Mow the onus for any trouble
rests with tha Governor.
What Ike Didn’t Do.
. Ilavlng taken this first posi-
itlve step the President then
deliberately by-passed an op
portunity to lift the fight tor
school integration to the high
moral plahe it so urgently
needs.
A reporter asked the Presi
dent about-' “your own pei*-
- swial'
involved...and wliether you
persona^ favor-the boglitnit|g^.v
of an end to sogregatad '
schools?
Thfe President replied;
*1 have always declined to
(«ftfwer juch. que»-
tloiay for the sbnple reason
that here was somethin# that
the Sitprema Court aays..is the.
meaning of the Cdmrtltution.
“Now, I' am sworn to one
thing, to defend the Consti^-
tion of the United States, tip'd
execute its laws. Thereflire,
for me to weaken public opin
ion by discussion of complete
separate cases, where I mi|^
agree or might disagree, seems
to me to be completely unwise
and not a good thing to do.”
In short, Mr. Eisenhowier was
telling tile nation that he has
no strong feelings about the
cpicetion of s^egating Negro
school children from whfte
school children. He may, if
one were to press him too
hard, even say that he dis
agreed with the high court.
So for tlte former General;
the question becomes one of
tactics, not principle. As one
editorialist put it The White
House declaration was one of
“passionless policy”. Certain-*
ly the statement did not re
flect any firm convictions on
rr"5wK9i*r': ■
The fight for equa4 rights
jA whether-
'tOe shows the way
or not. But without the Presi
dent using his moral suasion
the outlook for the small-band
of Negro childreo ^ho daiir«.
to enter Central High Seb^i
is not very bright.
When Ike daoUned to tali'hi»i
>wn filings, it was like ufl.
