A Picture Of Chagrin And Stinging Rebuke
If the nation end the cause of free speech ever felt rebuked
to their chagrin and utter embarrassment, it most be in the strange
and unexplainable antics coming from a governor of one of the
states of this union.
Reminding one of the unfortunate tripe of common ward
politics, which in fact would not become a ward leader, there
come daily those statements, flippant and beyond the pale of
proof from Governor O. Eugene Faubus of Arkansas, the person
nursing the wounds of a stung pride and a lost political cause.
History will long single out the man who called out his National 
Guard and gave them instructions to obstruct an order of
a federal judge. It will relay his contentions, later found to be
groundless in those inflammatory remarks bordering oh vulgarity
and sordid ridicule he leveled at the United States Army.
There will be for the record, a meeting in which he allegedly
made certain commitments to the President of the United States,
and instead of keeping a gentleman's agreement, began giving
out extravagant and groundless quips which even embarrassed
many thousands of those who helped to put him office.
The Southern governors in conference at Sea Island, Georgia,
feeling the sting of rebuke which made no contribution to the
common cause of the Southern states, planned a conference themselves 
with the President to iron out the unenviable situation which
had caused standing troops around a high school at Little Rock.
Whatever he gained in political thrift and the glittering temptations 
of a self imposed martyrdom to the cause of the old South,
all have been washed up in a further venture to make the dangerous 
statement inferring something about the soldiers entering the
girls' room at the school.
There is still no telling to what extent the governor will go
in his unstrung tirade to find himself after tangling himself in a
thousand webs.
If he has made a contribution in the latter claim, it must be
confined to the fact that he overworked and undid an ancient
pattern whose years saw service in human torture and outright
lynching of innocent men who died outside the law and for
crimes they never committed.

Fall Weather
After the hot summer, it is always nice to feel the effects of
the first cooler days, the coming of autumn. To our way of thinking, 
autumn is the prettiest season of the year, and best weather,
and the most nostalgic of all the seasons.
It is the time of year when the crops are over, the nights are
getting longer, the weather cooler and growing things are dying, 
or about to die, as winter approaches. It is the time of football 
and hunting — two of America's favorite sports:
Fall comes in this year on the 23rd day of September and
fall is really the last season of the year. We really have about ten
days of winter before New Year's Day.
One might way, then, that the year begins with winter, followed 
by spring, summer and fall, the last season.
We suggest to all those in this community who are physically
able to do so that they take advantage of the beautiful fall
weather this year, take to the woods and fields for a hike occasionally, 
and generally take in the sweeping beauty that will
be Nature's gala production, especially in October and November. 
Such an outing will invigorate the mind.

Russia's "Steel Moon" Gould Engage
A Great Mission
Just now the world is too recent in its atomic experience and
too limited in its Geophysical scope to make a reasonable appraisal 
of Russia's "steel moon" satellite; it can, however, be envisioned
that the influences and prestige of the UN should be greatly enhanced. 

The world just now is engaged in a clearance system of
settling what used to turn up in revengeful wasteful wars, in an
amiable fashion around conference tables.
Since its organization, the UN has functioned as a peace
medium; it has been conducive to great good and has brought
about a more mutual understanding among nations.
As a better relation medium it has espoused the cause of
peace through justice and has commanded the respect of nations
all around the globe.
Now, with the coming of Russia's new venture, with its fearful 
Orbit encompassing civilization, a race on the part of other
nations to cope with such an extended venture can be expected,
But let us hope these satellites can be restricted to scientific use.
It must be admitted that, the Russian project is a great
achievement. It shows science at work and what scientific genius
can do for health, industry, rehabilitation and those good relations 
of which the world and the country are so much in need
at this very moment.
The rule by force should be renounced; great minds should
supplant force and distruction through use of military manipulations. 

The United Nations has a great day before it; it can cope
with the situation now startling the world, through the mediums
of peaceful negotiations and the full implementation of wholesome
brotherhood.

14 Organizations
Join NAACP Defense
Fourteen major national 
organizations (Monday) intervened 
with the United States Supreme 
Court in defense of the
constitutional right of the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People to enjoy freedom of
association. The 14 groups came to
the support of the NAACP by filing 
an AMICI CURIAE (friends of
the court) brief in a case entitled
NAACP v. State of Alabama which
the V. S. Supreme Court has agreed
to review during its current term.
The brief was submitted by Leo
Pfeffer, director of the Commissioner 
on Law and Social Action of
the American Jewish Congress, who
is serving as attorney for the following 
14 organizations: American
Baptist Convention, Commission on
Christian Social Progress; AmeriCivil 
Liberties Union; American
Friends Service Committee; American. 
Jewish Committee; American
Jewish Congress; American Veterans 
Committee; Anti-Defamation
League of B'nai B'rith; Board of
Home Missions "of the Congregational 
and Christian Churches;
Council for Christian Social Action

of the United Church of Christ;
Japanese American Citizens Laegue
Jewish-Labor Committee; National
Community Relations' AdvisoryCouncil; 
United Synagogue of
America; and Workers Defense
League.
The signatories to the brief described' 
themselves as "private, voluntary 
associations of Americans
formed to achieve specific purposes
religious civic educational, and
others. As such," they maintained,
"they have a direct interest in
this proceeding which raises the
question whether a state may constitutionally 
place prohibitions' or
crippling restrictions on the operation 
of a voluntary association similarly 
organized from a specific purpose, 
that of promoting equal
rights for all without discrimination 
based on race."
Voicing their deep concern at
the State of Alabama's "assault on
freedom of association;" the organizations 
declared: "Today it is the
NAACP that is subjected to attack
Tomorrow, the same measures may
be taken against any group that
supports a cause opposed by state
officials"

Letter To The Editor
Dear Editor:
On the night of Friday. September 
13. 1857 the football team of
Booker T. Washington High School
was engaged in a game with Merrill 
High of Arkansas." Following
this content there were individuals
who conducted themselves in a
disorderly manner.
Sine this incident occurred in
the immediate vicinity of Booker
T. Washington High School, it is
generally believed that the disturbance 
was caused by Washington
students. This is an untrue assumption 
and it has sorely grieved
the good students and the loyal
alumni of our school.
Therefore, we feel that is our
dty to acquaint the public with
the fact that of the one hundred
ten persons arrested following the
incident only a few were actually
enrolled in our school. Most pf
them had not even entered high
school. Also, of the forty persons
to trial in juvenile court, only six
were students of this school. One
of these was defending himself
When arrested. Then, of those
found guilty, and sent to Pikeville,
only one was a Washington high
school student. Finally, those identified 
as leaders of organized
gangs were definitely, not Washington 
students.
The above information can be
verified by the records of the Juvenile 
Court.
There are so many studious,
hard-working, talented, law-abiding 
students in Booker T. Washington 
who are striving to uphold
the good name of the school and
of the city of Memphis, that we,
the members of the student council,
consider it imperative that this information 
be brought 15 the attention 
of the public.
The reputation of our beloved
school is at stake. So anything that
you and your paper can do to aid
us in this matter will be greatly
appreciated.
Student Council.
B. T. Washington High School,
John Taylor, President,
Carol Billops secretary.

BACK m BANNING I went to
the house where Drury Wells
had been living and looked Over
the neighborhood.
The house on the east was vacant 
and had a "For Sale" sign
out in front. The one on the
west was inhabited. I rang the
bell, A big-boned, heavy-set
woman in her fifties came lumbering 
to the door.
I gave her toy best smile. "My
name is Lam," I said. "I'm makeing 
some inquiries about real estate. 
Do you know anything art
about the house that's for sale me
two doors down the street?"
"All I know is it's for sale,
Some people named Smith lived
there. A real estate agent has it
listed. His telephone number is
on the sign."
"I know," I said, "but I thought
it might be difficult to get in
touch with him' on Sunday."
"I think you could catch him,"
she said. "Sunday's a good day
for real estate."
"Thank you," I said. "Now,
about the house right next door,
what do you know about that?"
"It's for rent, furnished."
"Do you know the names of
the people who lived there last?"
"Wells," she said.
"Could I talk with you about
them?"
A man's voice from inside the
house called out, "Who is it,
Amanda?"
"Someone talking about property," 
she called back.
I gave her my best smile and
said, "May I have your name?"
"Mrs. Oscar Boswell."
I said, "Td like to find out
something about Mr. and Mrs.
Wells, Mrs. Boswell."
Her face was 'wooden, "They
only lived-there a short time. She
inherited some money."
"Amanda!" the man's voice
called out in sharp warning.
"I'm coming," she said; and
started to swing the door shut.
I said, "Just a minute, Mrs.
Boswell. I may as well tell you,
I'm a detective."
"Oh;" she said.
I heard the sound of squeaky
shoes and Oscar Boswell, who
was five years older, a head
shorter, and fifty pounds lighter
than his wife, came down the
corridor.
"What's this about the police?"
he asked.
I gave him my best smile.
"How do" you do, Mr. Boswell.
My name is Lam, Donald Lam."
I extended my hand and pushed
past Mrs. Boswell to shake hands
with him. That got me inside
the house. I talked fast. "I'm
not a police detective, Mr. Boswell, 
I'm a private detective, I'm

trying to find out- something
about the history of the neighborhood 
and the background of
the people who lived next door."
"Why?" he asked.
I smiled. "Oh, I don't know
why. We have a client who wants
the information, that's all I assume 
it's in connection with the
property the people next door lean
inherited. All I want is informatoin." 

"We don't talk about neighbors," 
he said.
He was a frightened little man,
around five foot four-with a gray,
mousy appearance, a drooping,
gray mustache, a bald head with
fringe of white hair around
ears. He was wearing reading 
glasses, which he had pulled
down on his nose so he could
see me over the tops of the rims.
"Good heavens, Mr. Boswell!"
I said, "I'm not interested in  "I'm simply getting 
I turned to Mrs. Boswell "You
knew about Mrs. Wells inheriting
property?"
"I read it in the paper."
"Had you been acquainted with
her before that?"
"They'd only moved in a few
days before."
"You'd met her?"
"Not face to face. Pd seen
her around the yard."
"You didn't go over to pay a
neighborly call?"
"I was going to do it, but I
anted to let her get settled
first."
"Then this inheritance came to
er before they got settled?"
"She went away before the inheritance." 

"Where did she go?" I asked.
"To Sacramento."
"Amanda!" Oscar Boswell said
firmly, and then suddenly broke
into a flood of German. I could
follow enough of it to know he n
was telling her not to say anything 
else.
I smiled at her and said, "Well,
low that's the information I'd
like to get, Mrs. Boswell. What
about when she left?"
Again her husband broke into
German.
I turned to him and said sternly, 
"Before you tell your wife
what not to say, you should
make certain that the person
she's talking with doesn't understand 
German. Now then, you've
put yourself in a very questionable 
position. You're trying to
suppress information."
"No, no, no," he said. "We're
not suppressing anything. We
just want to keep out of it."
fixed my eyes on him and
repeated, "You're suppressing information. 
You're trying to get
your wife to suppress information." 

"No, no! We don't know anything. 
She only has guessed
thing. It is nothing she
should tell."
"That," said "is exactly the,
thing I'm after."
I turned back to Mrs. Boswell.
"Tell me about the fight they had
and the thing that led up to her
leaving the house."
She exchanged glances with
her husband.
"Otherwise," I said firmly, "I
will have to report that you are
suppressing information, and you
know that can be rather serious."
"Nobody has to talk if he
doesn't want to, Oscar Boswell
said. "Not in this country."
"About some things, no. Aboutsome 
things, yes." I made a stab
in the dark, pointed my finger,
at Mrs. Boswell and said, "You
thought there'd been a fight and.
she'd been hurt, didn't you?"
Her husband started to say
something to her, and thenabruptly 
broke off.
"You'd better tell me about it,"
I said.
"She doesn't know anything,"
her husband interposed nervously. 
"Just she heard a fight, that's
all."
"At night," I said.
"At night, yes," he admitted.
"And the next day Mrs. Wells
as gone?"
"Well, so what? She went to
visit relatives."
"How do you know she went
to visit relatives?"
"Her husband said so."
"Who did he tell that to?"
"He told it to me."
"You asked where his wife
was?"
"No, no, not crude like that!.
Just hinted."
"Why?"
"Well, because Amanda was
nervous, that's why."
"Sure, she was nervous," I
said. "You thought that he'd'
hurt her, didn't you? Did you
hear the sound of a blow Mrs.
Boswell?"
"No, no," her husband said.
"Not the sound of a blow. Well,
anyway, she can't swear to it."
"And then," I said, "Wells
started up his car and drove off
didn't he?"
"Well, so what's wrong with
that?" Boswell asked. "A man's
got a right to go and come as
he pleases. This is a free country, 
ain't it?"
"That depends," I told him, "on
your definition of freedom."

should tell."
"That," said "is exactly the,
thing I'm after."
I turned back to Mrs. Boswell.
"Tell me about the fight they had
and the thing that led up to her
leaving the house."
She exchanged glances with
her husband.
"Otherwise," I said firmly, "I
will have to report that you are
suppressing information, and you
know that can be rather serious."
"Nobody has to talk if he
doesn't want to, Oscar Boswell
said. "Not in this country."
"About some things, no. Aboutsome 
things, yes." I made a stab
in the dark, pointed my finger,
at Mrs. Boswell and said, "You
thought there'd been a fight and.
she'd been hurt, didn't you?"
Her husband started to say
something to her, and thenabruptly 
broke off.
"You'd better tell me about it,"
I said.
"She doesn't know anything,"
her husband interposed nervously. 
"Just she heard a fight, that's
all."
"At night," I said.
"At night, yes," he admitted.
"And the next day Mrs. Wells
as gone?"
"Well, so what? She went to
visit relatives."
"How do you know she went
to visit relatives?"
"Her husband said so."
"Who did he tell that to?"
"He told it to me."
"You asked where his wife
was?"
"No, no, not crude like that!.
Just hinted."
"Why?"
"Well, because Amanda was
nervous, that's why."
"Sure, she was nervous," I
said. "You thought that he'd'
hurt her, didn't you? Did you
hear the sound of a blow Mrs.
Boswell?"
"No, no," her husband said.
"Not the sound of a blow. Well,
anyway, she can't swear to it."
"And then," I said, "Wells
started up his car and drove off
didn't he?"
"Well, so what's wrong with
that?" Boswell asked. "A man's
got a right to go and come as
he pleases. This is a free country, 
ain't it?"
"That depends," I told him, "on
your definition of freedom."


Plans To

in March that would-provide more
scientific information than Sputnik. 

He emphasized throughout the
news conference that the U. S. has
deliberately kept its missile and satellite 
projects separate to point
up the scientific aspects of the satellites. 
He said this policy will
continue.
The President conceded the Soviets 
have won a "great psychological 
advantage" in a political sense
but not in 'a scientific sense.
He said scientists had been telling 
him for a number of months
that the Soviets were likely to
launch a Satellitee, and added:
"There didn't seem to be a reason
for just trying to grow hysterical
about it."
Although stating repeatedly that
the U. S. is not in a race with Russia, 
Mr. Eisenhower said he has t
asked every group involved if anything 
more can be done "better
than is being done."
Except for some minor "administrative" 
items, he said. "there
has been little said."
The President said the U. S. is
spending all the money, it can wisely 
spend on the satellite project
and replied with a firm "no", when
asked if he believed scientists had
made a mistake by failing to come
to him and ask for more funds.
The U. S., he said, could have,
launched an "orating satellite
before this time if it had wanted
but only to the detriment of scientific 
and military goals.
Mr. Eisenhower conceded frankly
that he would like to see the U.
S. further along in its guided missiles 
program but quickly added he
did not believe more money would
do any good.
He said he could not vouch for
the Soviets' claim that they have
fired an intercontinental missile.
He said he thought they had fired
objects "a very considerable distance" 
but did not know how accurate 
they were.

Keating Seeks

Mr. Hagerty replied that he would
"suspect there would be but I don't,
know. I have not seen the report to
the judge."
Apparently, matters were at a
standstill in' Washington Monday
oh tee Little Bock situation. Mr.
Hagerty said there had been no
negotiations with Governor Orval
Faubus, Senator John L. McClellan,
or Representative Brooks Hays and
the integration problem- in Little
Reck.
Asked whether matters had reached 
a hopeless point with Federal
troops being in Little Rock perhaps
a month or for the remainder if
the school year, Mr. Hagerty replied; 
I sincerely hope not. That
Us all I can say."
He declined to estimate how long
Federal troops will be in Little Rock
Asked whether there had been
any developments over the weekend
that would enable him to say.
things are looking better in Little

Rock, Mr. Hagerty replied: "I just
don't have any comment."
In a statement Sunday, night. Mr.
Keating said Faubus and "other
extremists' have given the entire
South "a black-eye from which it
will not soon recover."
He added that "Overseas, they
have provided the Soviets with a
propaganda bnanza beyond their
fondest dreams."

Georgia Critics

cipants includes along with the
Rev. Martin Luther King, Aubrey
Wiliams, and Mrs. Rosa Parks, the
name of an alleged Dally Worker
reporter. Since this charge has, not
been verified, we can only say that
Highlander did not and does not
welcome right or from the extreme
left.
"In these troubled times, nothing
but more trouble can come from
the White Citizens Councils' and
Communist Party's infiltration into 
groups earnestly seeking a democratic 
solution to our problems.
Both are morally bankrupt and
have nothing, to offer. We want
only those at Highlander who do
their own thinking."
The director of Highlander acting
since 1953 has sponsored workshops
on the subject of integration, said
the school assumes reponsibility
for the speakers and discussion
leader - selected and for the program 
which was held during the
Labor Day week-end.
"We had only such information of
the participants as they themselves 
furnished us," Horton declared
"For example, Friend, Gov. Griffin's
undercover agent, said he was a
freelance photographer and water
pollution expert for the State of
Georgia.
"He (Friend) gave the name of
an Atlanta college professor as a
reference. There was no way of
knowing that he was a White Citizens 
Council member or sympathizer 
and official infiltrator.!"
Horton concluded that the opposition 
to the school by "Georgia
segregationists" stems from the
school's "invitation the Koinonia
Farms of Americus, Ga., to hold
their children's camp here after
the children were run out of Georgia." 

Koinonia is an interracial farm
community.

that they, have definitely
gone," he said, "there are so many
things to be considered that we will
have no further comment until after
the next American League or joint
Major League meetings,"
The next meetings are scheduled
for Dec 1-7 in Colorado Springs,
Colo.
For scheduling purposes, Giles
said. Los Angeles, San Francisco,
St. Louis and Chicago will comprise
the Western Division of the league.
Milwaukee, Cincinnati. Pittsburgh
and Philadelphia will be considered
Eastern clubs.

WESTERN CLUBS MAY DOMINATE
NL PENNANT RACE FOR DECADE


The championship flag flew in
Eastern cities — Brooklyn, New
York, Philadelphia and Boston —
from 1947 through 1956. Now the
consensus is Milwaukee's victory
has set the stage for at least a decade 
of domination by Western
clubs in the circuit.
The Braves (first pennant won in
1914) annexed the N. L. flag in
1948. The Brooklyn Dodgers reigned
triumphantly in 1947, 1949, 1952, 1953
1955 and 1956. The New York Giants 
were champions in 1951 and
1954 and the Philadelphia Phillies
copped the title' in 1950.
In the past 58 years, the league's
two divisions are deadlocked at 29all 
but the championship has alternated 
between the East and West
in a remarkable succession of cycles.





Prior to the East's recent monopoly, 
the West reigned supreme for
nearly a quarter of a century. West
clubs won the pennant 18 times
from 1925 to 1946.
The picture was dominated by the
West immediately after the turn of

the century, winning eight of 11
National League crowns from 1900
to 1911. Chicago and Pittsburgh each
won four flags during this period.
In 1911 the pendulum swung Eastward 
when the Giants of John J.
McGraw won the first of three pennants. 

Eastern clubs won 12 of the next
14 titles from 1911 through 4924 with
the Giants accounting for eight of
that number. The Giants won four"
In a row from 1921 through 1924.
The Boston Braves held one of
the original National League franchises 
when the circuit was organized 
in 1876. The Boston N. L. representatives 
of that era won a total
of lo National League crowns and
participated in two World Series.
As this new realignment of the
National League becomes evident
with the resurgence of the Braves
and the St. Louis Cardinals who
finished second, we see the first
pennant here since the club switched 
from Boston.
The Dodgers, who finished third,
lost their almost monopolistic hold
on the N. L. and tumbled into third
place.
The fate of the Dodgers follows
a strange but almost unerring pattern 
in which the two territorial
divisions usually take turns in
feigning supreme.
Milwaukee is testimonial to the
fact that the pendulum is swinging
again westwards.
