Let Hawaii In
Congress should quickly approve legislation to make Hawaii
the 49th state to be admitted to the United States. Such action is
not only important to strengthening our position in the Pacific but
would go a long ways towards reassuring the Asiatic people that
race is no barrier to full acceptance in the American way of life.
Hawaii is 6,400 miles from the U. S. mainland but the devotion 
and loyalty of its citizens, in war and peace, has been of the
highest stature and responsibility.
In the past 50 years, 17, attempts have been made to grant
Hawaii statehood. Always there have been the barriers and myths
of economics, distance, suspicion and race which thwarted its
ambitions.
World unrest has changed the bargaining position of Hawaii.
Turmoil in Korea, uncertainty in Japan, and the confused picture
in Formosa make it imperative that we accept its half million people 
who have a population status equal to that of Delaware, Vermont, 
Wyoming and Nevada.
Hawaiians likewise paid into the U. S. treasury more money
than the combined residents of nine U. S. states.
Taking cognizance of the grim manupulations of the Red
Horde and its subdued satellites, it would be well to have this
frontier of the Pacific, firmly in the orbit of the sister states. Hawaii
is seeking us. It would be tragic if we ever lost it through indifference 
or neglect. Statehood appears the way.
Quick Approval is urgent since the quickest way Hawaii can
achieve statehood would be in November 1954.
President Eisenhower has repeatedly staled he favors statehood. 
Legislation towards this end have gained swift approval in
the House of Representative. Now, the U. S. Senate must act with
dispatch to reward faithful Hawaiians who have stood the test
of two global wars.
Opposition to Hawaii stems from its racial composition. It
would be the first time the U. S. has taken in a State in which
the Caucasian race would be a minority.
However, the melting pot of the Pacific may well be the mixture 
that saves the Asiatic world.
The Congress must realize this and act now to grant statehood
to Hawaii and assure the Asiatic world that we practice what we
preach about democracy.

EDITOR'S DESK
.... BY JAMES H. PURDY, JR.
The St. Francis County Horse Track issue
goes to the Arkansas Supreme Court on April 6th. Oral arguments 
will be heard at Little Rock on the appeal of the St. Francis
Anti-Race Track League to invalidate petitions for a special election. 

Track sponsors say they have sufficient signatures on a petition 
for the election to determine building of the track in East Arkansas. 

An appeal of the case was filed by League Attorney Richard
McCulloch of Forrest City.
Chancery Judge A. L. Hutchins has ruled that the election
should be held and that petitions submitted by the race track promoters 
were valid.
The election was requested by the St. Francis Valley Turf Association, 
which was incorporated by some of the men who sought
unsuccessfully to build a track at West Memphis.
JACKSON, Miss.—
An expansion
project, to give telephone service to
105 rural homes in a 150 square
mile area of Tunica County, North
Mississippi is underway. Southern
Bell estimates the cost at $70,000.
The project announced at Jackson 
will bring telephone service for
the first time to the communities
Of Little Texas, Clayton, Maud
Dundee and Dobbs.
Temporary Offices 
for the newly-created State
Department of Mental Health have
been set up in the Cotton States
Building in Nashville.
The department, to be headed by
Dr. Cyril Rullmann, of Memphis,
was created by the Legislature this
month. However, the State Comptroller, 
Mrs. Jeanne Bodfish, says
operating funds won't be available
until sifter July 1.
YAZOO, Miss. —Police Chief E.
W. Russell at Yazoo City, Miss.
says he found L. C. Copeland, hiding 
out as a "corpse" in a coffin at a
funeral home.
Russell said Copeland was wanted 
for pilfering gasoline from parked 
automobiles.
It seems that Copeland's brother
guarded the bier, but at urging from
Chief Russell the "dead man" a
rose and admitted he was quite
alive.
Asked what he would have done
had a funeral been held, Copeland
said, "I'da let them know."
LITTLE ROCK—The pending U.
S. Supreme Court ruling on racial
segregation in the schools might
mean a special session of the Arkansas 
Legislature.
Even if the court refuses to abolish 
segregation, the softest ruling
expected would be at least to require 
equalized educational facilities 
for white and colored students.
In Arkansas, school construction
programs are exclusively under control 
of local school districts which
do not have adequate financing for
new construction nor liberal State
laws to authorize large bond issues
that would be necessary.
More than that the state still does
not have a minimum teachers salary 
law which means that no district 
can be required to bring Ne
gro 
teachers salaries up to the level
of those for white teachers.
Governor Francis Cherry is reported 
considering appointment of
a special committee to study the
problem in the light of the Supreme
Court case.
GREENWOOD, Miss. — Two persons 
were killed and six others injured 
in a three-car collision on
Highway 82 West of Greenwood,
Miss.
The dead were listed as Clifford
Douglas 30 and Herman Moore, Jr.,
31, both of Indianola, Miss. Critically 
injured were J. A. Carpenter,
30; C. W. and Purnella Davis;
three others were less seriously injured. 

Highway patrolmen said Moore
apparently lost control of his car
on a steep hill and collided with
the other car occupied by Davis and
the three injured persons. Another
in which no one was injured.
LITTLE ROCK—Governor Francis 
Cherry may set lip a committee 
to cope with problems that may
arise from a pending U. S. Supereme. 
Court decision on racial segregation. 

The Arkansas Governor has said
that the state would face a "serious
problem" if segregation in the
schools is abolished.
Cherry said the committee is being 
considered. It would handle
questions that would come up in
event the High Court abolishes segregation 
or if it holds that separate 
but equal facilities must be
provided for whtie and Negro students 
in schools.
OKLAHOMA— Private schools
will spring up in Southern Oklaohma 
if the U. S. Supreme Court
outlaws, racial segregation in all
public schools.
This is the prediction by Governor 
Johnston Murray. The governor
said neither he nor the legislature
have made plans to deal with the
situation should the Supreme
Court outlaw Oklahoma's school segregation 
laws.
The U. S. Court now is considering 
a ruling in five school cases
which deals with the racial question. 

Murray predicted Oklahoma pro
bably 
will not go to the extreme
proposed in South Carolina and
other "deep South" states. The
South Carolina government has
made plans to finance private
schools for whites with state funds
in order to avoid mixed classes.
JACKSON — The annual convention 
of the Mississippi Negro
Teachers Association will end tomorrow 
at Jackson. More than four
thousand delegates attended.

the proposed legislative program
for equalizing white and Negro
schools.
The 49-million dollar a year program

teachers at their meeting last week.
JACKSON, Miss—School teachers 
in Mississippi have endorsed a
49-million dollar plan for equalizing

State Education Association Convention 
in Jackson.
Governor Hugh White is awaiting

2 KILLED; 6 INJURED
.... BY JAMES H. PURDY, JR.
The St. Francis County Horse Track issue
goes to the Arkansas Supreme Court on April 6th. Oral arguments 
will be heard at Little Rock on the appeal of the St. Francis
Anti-Race Track League to invalidate petitions for a special election. 

Track sponsors say they have sufficient signatures on a petition 
for the election to determine building of the track in East Arkansas. 

An appeal of the case was filed by League Attorney Richard
McCulloch of Forrest City.
Chancery Judge A. L. Hutchins has ruled that the election
should be held and that petitions submitted by the race track promoters 
were valid.
The election was requested by the St. Francis Valley Turf Association, 
which was incorporated by some of the men who sought
unsuccessfully to build a track at West Memphis.
JACKSON, Miss.—
An expansion
project, to give telephone service to
105 rural homes in a 150 square
mile area of Tunica County, North

The project announced at Jackson 
will bring telephone service for
the first time to the communities
Of Little Texas, Clayton, Maud
Dundee and Dobbs.
Temporary Offices 
for the newly-created State
Department of Mental Health have
been set up in the Cotton States
Building in Nashville.
The department, to be headed by

It seems that Copeland's brother
guarded the bier, but at urging from

LITTLE ROCK—The pending U.
S. Supreme Court ruling on racial
segregation in the schools might
mean a special session of the Arkansas 
Legislature.
Even if the court refuses to abolish 
segregation, the softest ruling
expected would be at least to require 
equalized educational facilities 
for white and colored students.
In Arkansas, school construction
programs are exclusively under control 
of local school districts which
do not have adequate financing for
new construction nor liberal State
laws to authorize large bond issues
that would be necessary.
More than that the state still does
not have a minimum teachers salary 
law which means that no district 
can be required to bring Ne
gro 
teachers salaries up to the level
of those for white teachers.
Governor Francis Cherry is reported 
considering appointment of
a special committee to study the
problem in the light of the Supreme
Court case.

apparently lost control of his car
on a steep hill and collided with

in which no one was injured.
LITTLE ROCK—Governor Francis 
Cherry may set lip a committee 
to cope with problems that may

The Arkansas Governor has said
that the state would face a "serious
problem" if segregation in the

or if it holds that separate 
but equal facilities must be
provided for whtie and Negro students 
in schools.
OKLAHOMA— Private schools

FORBIDDEN RIVER
By AL CODY
RAWLS HAD brought some
matches from the boat. He cradled 
them in his hands, finding
small dry twigs by feel and
building a tiny heap. The cupped
Same hesitated, like a dog sniffing
curiously at some new food. Then,
finding it tasty, it gulped with
huge appetite, the flame spreading
fast. Rawls moved back into the
river, away from the rising wave
of light.
Cries tore the silence of the evening, 
a sudden hideous chorus of
rage and alarm. But the tinder-dry
driftwood was exploding into flame,
the light spreading like the glow
of a torch, revealing half a hundred 
figures who crept upon the
. Guns shouted hasty challenge, 
and Rawls, beside the boat,
did not venture aboard until he
had made himself known.
By the time he was back, the
river was a second time deserted,
cleared in panic quickness Surprise 
and been cousin to terror
while the flames leaped as if anxious 
to kiss the sky. Now the
flames were subsiding, but the
moon glow hovered like a night
moth at the western edge of the
badlands.
Lomax McQuestion was not
stinting in praise.
"You're the salvation of us all,
Denny." he declared. "And that in
return for the rotten mean way
n treated you. Wurra, sad the
day that I listened to the specious
slickness of a tricky tongue! Were
you but my son now, no man
would he prouder!"
Astrid was approaching. Slender 
and graceful in the reflected
glow or the still-burning pile, she
looked eminently desirable, and in
that moment she was his for the
taking her lips framing a second
to what her net father had said.
"We've work to do," Rawls reminded 
them briskly. "There'll be
a couple or hours more of black
dark before the dawn, and no more
wood not a flare. Either the is off the oar before that or
it'll never come afloat at all."
"You're the captain," McQuestion 
assured him. "But if she
doesn't come off everybody goes
hoard the "
Kathleen stood in the background, 
watching She, too, was
framed by the firelight behind her
hair a halo in its glow. She'd handled

her. Halt its cargo might he contraband, 
the crew in McQuestion's
pay, the boat itself stranded in
forbidden waters, but the 
must float free.
"We'll have to grasshopper her
off." Rawis added. "Everybody
keep guns handy."
Earnshaw stared, incredulous. It
was one thing to grasshopper a
boat off a bar in daylight, and with
no worse menace than the passing
of time to hinder. To do so in a
few scant hours of moonlight, when
men's movements could be seen
and guns and arrows twang out
from the shore, was something
else. But nobody voiced objection.
Grasshoppering was a fairly
common practice on the Big Muddy. 
Like most boats that plied the
river, both the  and the
 were equipped for it with a
pair of spars carried along to be
used if the boat ran aground.
Under Rawls' direction, the
spars were raised and set like posts
in the river, one on either side,
with the tops inclined toward the
bow. Nothing happened while that
was done. Apparently the Indians
had not yet recovered from their
double setback, or else there was
no one familiar with the operation
to warn them of what was happening. 

But the lull ended as the rigging
began. Above the line of the deck,
each spar must be rigged with a
tackle block, then manila cables
passed over these, one end fastened 
to the gunwale, the other
wound around the capstan. This
entailed climbing, and the operation 
was in its middle when the
man at work screamed and all fell,
an arrow quivering in his arm.
Rawls jumped and climbed,
grabbing the half-tied rope before
everything could crash in a tangle.
The other man fell back, and now
more arrows were coming, guns
taking up the chatter. Rawls
worked grimly, unheeding, until
the job was done.
"And the devil, of it is we've
no targets to shoot back at!" McQuestion 
turned.
Rawls disregarded him. "All
set." he said, and at his order the
capstan turned the paddle wheel
revolved, and the  was lifted 
and pushed along. Not enough
to free her, but Rawls hadn't expected 
that. The Sky Pilot had run
them hard aground, and it would
be a race against the encroaching
dark as well as the nostiles on
shore to get it off in time with
the process to be repeated over and
over until they floated free.
It was not by chance that the
process was called grasshoppering.
When the spars were set, the boat
bore a grotesque resemblance to a
grasshopper, with great ungainly
legs poised, and when it did move,
it was in a series of hops.
Those on shore kept up a constant 
harassment, against which
there was no defense. But beyond
that first lucky shot with the arrow, 
the Indians scored few successes. 
The light was tricky, and
the distance long for bows, while
with guns they would take no

prizes for marksmanship. But the
strain on the nerves made the
night drag even while it seemed to
race.
Kathleen, watching like the rest,
held her breath each time the  moved, felt the same ache of
disappointment as it still held fast
after the hop. There was unreality
in this situation, the black sheen of
the river with stars shivering in
its mirror, the moon creeping,
above. Even the guns, the arrows,
and the Indians were like a bad
dream from which she must finally
awake. Only the  and Denny 
Rawls held reality.
Across two thousand watery
miles they had come to be her
world. She'd liked the looks of
Denny that night at The Planters,
a man standing tall and cocksure,
but without conscious arrogance—
and despite all setbacks, he'd lived
up to that reputation in the intervening 
weeks.
Her heart had cried out against
the hurt in store for him, from
which she had striven vainly to
save him. If her motives had been
halt selfish, they were no longer
so. She felt like crying out when
he walked exposed and a gun spat
at him, and her flesh cringed when
she was sure that he wits hit.
But this was a battle beyond the
physical. More than ever it was a
fight for control—of men and of
things, of emotions and hearts.
The values had changed and the
stakes had shifted, but the struggle 
was becoming each day more
intense. They'd win tonight, because 
Denny was the captain. But
what of the days ahead?
From another part of the deck,
crouching behind a shelter, Astrid
watched with the same intensity,
She'd been a fool, she realized bitterly. 
At long last, she knew what
she wanted, and knew that it was
out of reach. Once the cup had
been at her lips and she'd cast it
aside.
There lay the irony, for she had
done it for Mark Whirter, and
Whirter now was the big question
mark of this whole mad adventure. 
Back at SU Louis he'd played
the lover and deferred to her father. 
But the idea had been hrs.
and what wild dream actuated him
she was yet to learn. He'd told
only a part of his plan, a part of
the truth.
She sensed an unsuspected

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
By AL CODY
RAWLS HAD brought some
matches from the boat. He cradled 
them in his hands, finding
small dry twigs by feel and
building a tiny heap. The cupped
Same hesitated, like a dog sniffing
curiously at some new food. Then,
finding it tasty, it gulped with
huge appetite, the flame spreading
fast. Rawls moved back into the
river, away from the rising wave
of light.
Cries tore the silence of the evening, 
a sudden hideous chorus of
rage and alarm. But the tinder-dry
driftwood was exploding into flame,
the light spreading like the glow
of a torch, revealing half a hundred 
figures who crept upon the
. Guns shouted hasty challenge, 
and Rawls, beside the boat,
did not venture aboard until he
had made himself known.
By the time he was back, the
river was a second time deserted,
cleared in panic quickness Surprise 
and been cousin to terror
while the flames leaped as if anxious 
to kiss the sky. Now the
flames were subsiding, but the
moon glow hovered like a night
moth at the western edge of the
badlands.
Lomax McQuestion was not
stinting in praise.
"You're the salvation of us all,
Denny." he declared. "And that in
return for the rotten mean way
n treated you. Wurra, sad the
day that I listened to the specious
slickness of a tricky tongue! Were
you but my son now, no man
would he prouder!"
Astrid was approaching. Slender 
and graceful in the reflected
glow or the still-burning pile, she
looked eminently desirable, and in
that moment she was his for the
taking her lips framing a second
to what her net father had said.
"We've work to do," Rawls reminded 
them briskly. "There'll be
a couple or hours more of black
dark before the dawn, and no more
wood not a flare. Either the is off the oar before that or
it'll never come afloat at all."
"You're the captain," McQuestion 
assured him. "But if she
doesn't come off everybody goes
hoard the "
Kathleen stood in the background, 
watching She, too, was
framed by the firelight behind her
hair a halo in its glow. She'd handled 
a gun with the best of them
when danger was a finger-up distant

FORUM

Varicose veins of the legs are
seen principally in early and middle 
adult life and more often in
men than in women. The cause is
not too clear but lies presumaply in
the weakness of the tissues which
permit stretching of venous walls
arid the consequent insufficiency
of the valves. The superficial varicosties 
are usually seen on the inher 
aspect of the calf and thigh
and the inner and back aspect of
the knee. The veins appear as
twisted bluish cords and often the
ankles appear to be very doughy.
Walking exercise favors venous
return but standing is very bad for
these patients. Great care should
be taken to avoid even the slightest
injuries to the legs as trauma favors 
the development of ulcer, but
unfortunately just the class most
affected with varicosities, that is
the laboring class, can least afford
to seriously heed this admonition
The wearing of elastic bandages
bring considerable relief to many
individuals.
The two procedures most often
employed are the surgical approach
and the injection treatment, however 
much of the substances used
for injection of the veins provoke
irritation, injury and adhesion of
the vessel walls. The treatment of

varicose veins by injections gives the
most favorable results in the vast
majority of cases, because the surgical 
treatment carries so many
risks and dangers. Elderly people
with enfeebled health should not be
given injections, but should go along 
with the elastic stockings as
prescribed by your physician.

Ike Orders

Cook said the state has "no jurisdiction" 
over Federal territory at
Fort Benning, where President
Eisenhower Has ordered an end to
segregated schools on the army
post
Cook said that since jurisdiction
belongs to the Federal Government
ther is no area of contact between
Georgia anti-segregation laws and
the White House directive abolishing, 
segregation in five elementary
schools next September.
Cook explained that the Fort
Benning reservation was ceded to
the U. S. Government for military
purposes, and thus segregation,
written explicity into the Georgia
constitution, would not apply.
Claude Purcell, director of the Division 
of Administration in the
Georgia State Education Department, 
said the Fort Benning schools
were never considered a part of the
state school system.
He said the U. S. Office of Education 
furnished funds for operating 
the post schools, and that
Georgia furnished no money for
operation of the schools and has no
jurisdiction.

MEALTIME MELROSE!
Are you often confused by advertising? 
Do you wonder just how
much of any advertisement you can
believe? A good criteria for judging
an ad is the little seal of the
American Medical Association Council 
on Foods and Nutrition.
The seal says the product has
been submitted to a group of independent 
medical men for advice and
approval and that all claims are
true.
Mrs. Anna Mae Wilson, food editor 
for the magazine, "Today's
Health," said in the March issue that
advertising as that done by the
National Dairy Council, the Meat
Institute, the Wheat Flour Institute, 
the Poultry and Egg National
Board and baby food companies exemplifies 
the type of advertising
that the homemaker can trust!
These are all examples of how
some industries organize to educate
the consumer in the use of their
product.
Many clubs and professional
groups including the Bluff city
Medical Society, have seen the Dairy 
Council film, "Weight Reduction
Through Diet," which was chosen
among the ten best health films in
1952 The diet sheet that supplements 
the film is helping many
over weight people to lose weight
successfully and healthfully on everyday 
foods that everyone likes.
The film and diet sheet was not
dreamed up over night by some

pseudo-scientists, but represents
much time, money, and research.
The propect was sponsored by the
dairy industry and conducted by
our leading nutrition experts. Those
following the diet, experience no
mid-morning hunger pangs, because
of the hearty breakfast that is allowed.. 
No special preparation of
meals is required either — the diet
proves that you can lose weight on
foods you like.
Here is a typical day's meal taken 
from the "Weight Reduction
Diet" leaflet:
1-2 medium grapefruit
2 eggs cooked as you please
Bread, thin slice (2-3 oz.)
Milk, whole, small glass, 3-4 cup
Butter, medium pat (1-3 oz.)
Pork chop, 1 large (4 oz.)
Milk, whole, small glass
Broccoli, 2-3 cup (3 1-2 oz.)
Hamburger, 2 med. (4 oz.)
Peaches, 2 medium halves, 1-2 cup
Potato, Small (3 oz.); Butter, 1-2
medium pat

BREAKFAST
Are you often confused by advertising? 
Do you wonder just how
much of any advertisement you can
believe? A good criteria for judging
an ad is the little seal of the
American Medical Association Council 
on Foods and Nutrition.
The seal says the product has
been submitted to a group of independent 
medical men for advice and
approval and that all claims are
true.
Mrs. Anna Mae Wilson, food editor 
for the magazine, "Today's
Health," said in the March issue that
advertising as that done by the
National Dairy Council, the Meat
Institute, the Wheat Flour Institute, 
the Poultry and Egg National
Board and baby food companies exemplifies 
the type of advertising
that the homemaker can trust!
These are all examples of how
some industries organize to educate
the consumer in the use of their
product.
Many clubs and professional
groups including the Bluff city
Medical Society, have seen the Dairy 
Council film, "Weight Reduction
Through Diet," which was chosen
among the ten best health films in
1952 The diet sheet that supplements 
the film is helping many
over weight people to lose weight
successfully and healthfully on everyday 
foods that everyone likes.
The film and diet sheet was not
dreamed up over night by some

pseudo-scientists, but represents
much time, money, and research.
The propect was sponsored by the
dairy industry and conducted by
our leading nutrition experts. Those
following the diet, experience no
mid-morning hunger pangs, because
of the hearty breakfast that is allowed.. 
No special preparation of
meals is required either — the diet
proves that you can lose weight on
foods you like.
Here is a typical day's meal taken 
from the "Weight Reduction
Diet" leaflet:
1-2 medium grapefruit
2 eggs cooked as you please
Bread, thin slice (2-3 oz.)
Milk, whole, small glass, 3-4 cup
Butter, medium pat (1-3 oz.)
Pork chop, 1 large (4 oz.)
Milk, whole, small glass
Broccoli, 2-3 cup (3 1-2 oz.)
Hamburger, 2 med. (4 oz.)
