Memphis World Memphis World Publishing Co. 1956-07-07 Raymond F. Tisby Look At One Side Of The Powell Amendment The vote of the United States House of Representatives in favor of a measure designed to deny aid to those schools refusing to integrate is o trend toward the notion's leaning to the support of the Supreme Court of the United States. Whether the bill passes the Senate or not is no moment in the light of are appraisal of the tempore of the times leading in the dried lien of removing what contributes in the least to failure o refusal to couple with the ruling of the Supreme Court. Many will call the measure a political one, one of those "things" thrown in the hopper for political expediency and never meant to get any further than the House. The fact that an ex-President as well as President Eisenhower disagreed with the measure might be clawed among those grad uat measures akin to those natural processes between what a first seems a wide departure from a set custom and its rigid enforcement. In that it cannot be said that either of these out standing citizens are in favor of schools setting up their own authority in defiance of a court order. The vole in the House on tin- measure would at least indicate a trend; that trend is in the direction of the implementation of the court's decision. It might be healthy for the cause of Democracy that such indicators occasionally come to the surface as reminders that the states are still in the Union, and that second-class citizenship hangovers will for its duration, be under attack.

THE QUICKSILVER POOL MATTERS in the Tyler household were no worse, though little better than they had been. Mother Tyler had decided not to die after all, but merely to remain in bed as an invalid However, she consented now to sit up, demanded constant waiting on from Ellie, and wanted Wade at her side too much of the time. These days Jemmy was the one happy member of the household. He and Hamlin, the puppy, even stole away from the house sometimes on Sundays, because Adam was full of dog knowledge and was aiding Jemmy in the development of Hamlin's personality and everyday good manners. Sunday rules had relaxed a bit for them all, now that Mrs. Tyler was bedridden. At Lora's suggestion they had taken to going to church, instead of conducting gloomy prayers in the parlor. This, for the moment, was their only contact with social life. Mother Tyler's constitution was probably ironclad. She could make herself ill if she tried, but she would probably never will herself to go down in complete defeat. It was Wade who woud be more likely to give in under the strain. One day Lora took a walk down Dogwood Lane and had tea with Serena Lord, a childhood friend of Wade's. She asked Serena's help in unravelling the mystery of Virginia's death. Serena glanced at her uncertainly and then fame to a decision. "There are some who say her death was nut an accident. Perhaps that is something you ought to know." Lora blinked in amazement. "You might as well know what has been rumored, though you needn't believe it. I'm not sure that I do myself. But there have been whispers of suicide." "Suicide? But why? Surely Virginia wouldn't ..." "Wade admitted to some quarrel with her a week or so before her death something he blamed himself for. That was strange because Virginia was never the sort to quarrel. However, then is Mrs. Tyler to consider. I suspect that she did her best to make Virginia unhappy. Perhaps she succeeded beyond her hopes." "But Mother Tyler has only praise for Virginia now," Lora protested. "She keeps holding her up to me us a model wife." Serena lost her tolerant attitude for the first time. "Of course! She has to find some way to make you unhappy. Oh, but she makes me furious, that old woman! I can be generous to Wade, and even to Morgan-but I can only see blame as far as Mrs. Tyler is concerned. She would go to any lengths to gain her own ends. Why do you suppose Wade and Virginia had separate rooms in that house? His mother took care of that. Anything to keep them apart. She told Virginia that Wade didn't sleep well at night, that he had never been strong. Separate bedrooms were a necessity. Since Virginia was never one to stand up to her, any more than Wade could stand up to her, that was the way it was. Virginia had been brought up with her parents as servants on the premises and she lacked Morgan's strong-headed ways. But we've talked of unhappy "things long enough, Lora. I've just tried to give you the glimpse of the past that you asked for. The present is something else. The present is you, my dear. And, frankly, I think you're the very best thing that has ever happened to Wade. Much better for him than Virginia." * * * "Two weeks ago Mrs. Channing invited me up to her house for tea." Lora could sense Wade's stiffening. "You declined, I trust?" "No—I accepted. I saw no reason fur declining. I don't want to carry on old feuds. The matter Mrs. Channing wanted to talk to me about is bigger and more important than any small feud." He rose impatiently to replenish the lire. "Have. I not enough worries at this lime, Lora? Must you add to them by striking up a ridiculous friendship with this woman who has done nothing but injure me?" "This is sanely a friendship," Lora said. "I believe you are as interested as I am in any plan which might lead to a halting of this dreadful war." "And what has Morgan Channing to do with such plans?" he asked over his shoulder, prodding the fire with impudent thrusts of the poker, "Why should she even care?" "I'm not sure why." At least, Lora thought, she had caught his interest, and she went on quickly: "Perhaps she likes the sense of power she gains from mixing in politics. Perhaps she's in love with this Murray Norwood and is. interested for his sake I don't know. It might even be that she has holdings in the south that will eventually become worthless or lust to her altogether if the war goes on Is that possible?" Wade set the fire screen in place and wiped his hands on a linen handkerchief. "It seems quite likely. Nicholas left her considerable property in the south, and -if I know Morgan, she would dare anything to cling to her wealth. But is so selfish a motive any reason why we should trust her?" "Don't you see, Wade?" Lora leaned toward him earnestly. "It doesn't matter if her motives are selfish providing they are sincere There are very definite plans afoot which this Mr. Norwood la mixed into. Mrs. Channing says even Governor Seymour approves of them and will be behind them unofficially." "And where do I fit Into this little fantasy?" "Mr. Norwood needs you. He needs men here on the island who are liked and have some influence. There are ways in which you could help." "Influence — I?" His laughter was unbelieving. "You have only to talk to him. Nothing more if you decide against it. Let Morgan know when you would be available for a meeting with him at her house." In the silence of the room the distant, insistent ringing of a small silver bell reached them. "I have to see what she wants," Wade said wearily. "Ellie has probably gone to bed by now." Lora put a quick hand un his arm. "First, tell me, Wade you will see Mr. Norwood? Perhaps there's nothing to all this, but it you'll just talk to him—" "With Morgan behind him, and in her house?" Wade asked. "Indeed I will hot. I'll have nothing to do with the matter, or with either of them." But at a sleighing party held the next week Lora saw Wade engaged in deep conversation with Norwood. Who had brought them together this time? She suspected Adam Hume was the meddler. CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE MATTERS in the Tyler household were no worse, though little better than they had been.
