The MEMPHIS WORLD is an independent newspaper—non-sectarian
and non-partisan, printing news unbiasedly and supporting those things
it believes to the interest of its readers and opposing those things
against the interest of its readers.

Now, "Hail To The Chief"
No better coincident could accompany the news items heralding 
the visit of Vice-President Nixon to the Soviet Union
and points in Poland than the announcement of an exchange
of visits between the President of the United States and the
Premier of the Soviet Union of Russia. This latter incident is
fruit borne to open communications; the medium through
which alone better relations and mutual understanding can
come. It is fine that the world at last is finding virtue in communications 
and the objective in getting acquainted through
personal contacts. That is not only a good thing for nations
of the earth, but would go a long way in the solution of many
perplexing problems here at home.
Thousands of young men, the flowers of their generation
have been taken as the toll for misunderstanding and refusal
of powers to exchange ideas, harmonize opinions and communicate 
first hand.
From the reception of Vice President Nixon at many
points where a generation ago no such high official could go,
it is seen that the essence of peace is on the horizon.
Now, it comes to pass that President Eisenhower and Premier 
Khrushchev will exchange visits early this fall; that the
two great powers will meet face to face around a council table 
seeking mutual understanding.
From this meeting it is expected that the world will gain
that much sought pattern for a lasting peace.
The war between the states and the last two World Wars
possibly would not have been had the world reached the present 
stage to which it has been brought by President Eisenhower, 
John Foster Dulles and Richard M. Nixon. Most conflicts
came from misunderstanding and miscalculation.
This is a far departure from the old days when the late
Senator Thomas E. Watson of Georgia sought to build up sentiment 
to declare the presidency vacant because President
Woodrow Wilson once went abroad to meet foreign diplomats
and war generals prior to his push for his ill-fated League of
Nations.
The world has undergone powerful shrinkage since that
day and the smallness of the earth is cramping many of the
divisions and controversies imposed upon humanity at the behest 
of ambition.
Before going to meet Premier Khrushchev, President Eisenhower 
will meet the Prime Ministers of Great Britain and
France. This should forestall any possible division between the
Western allies.
The handful of critics which might spring from this occasion 
would soon feel so embarrassed they would gladly seek a
dry place to jump in order to clear their conscience of any
shade which might indicate something other than the wars
that history has known.
Let the states and the counties in the deep South take a
leaf from this pattern of getting acquainted at first hand;
seeking mediums of peace and harmony in the solution of
questions arising from difference in opinions and the taking
of untenable positions as a gesture toward the exploitation of
those whose misunderstanding would lead them away from the
path of common sense and arbitration by a system of laws.

This Polio Summer
The Public Health Service said on Friday that last week
was the year's worst for paralytic polio, with 177 new cases.
The report ending July 25, was 11 higher than the week before. 
It brought 1,133 as the total number of paralytic polio
cases in 1959.
This would show that polio is still on the march; that the
health of our youth is still under the threat of this dreaded disease. 

It is felt that if parents were as cooperative as they should
be with the teachers and health officers this alarming rate
could be cut down.
The nation and the state are furnishing excellent facilities
for the inquiry and the treatment of polio. There are public
health stations where shots are provided free of charge. Health
officers are on the job throughout the year and bulletins are
distributed to the schools just as school books and food.
The rate at which polio is rising is alarming. With resource
such as is made available for the prevention of the disease, a
grave question arises as to how this polio is getting the upper
hand.
Definite application to the giving of shots, the proper
treatment of the disease and periodic checks on those who have
not encountered polio, should work wonders in the eradication
and prevention of this disease.
The fact that the past week doubles polio cases for last
year is not to comforting.
With the summer peak of polio still some distance ahead,
it is apparent that the disease is fast reaching epidemic proportions; 
that over half the cases reported are paralytic.
That the hardest hit area in the nation is Des Moines, Iowa
might afford a geographical clue around the disease.
Public Health Service last week reported 1,462 cases, 956
of these being paralytic. At this time last year there were only
877 cases, 437 of these being paralytic.
Health authorities are engaged in trying to find out what
makes a polio year and the virtue of the Salk shots.
Statistics show that the latter is proving highly effective
where the shots are taken. Preventive measures as well as
cures are the evidences.
At any rate, the swell in the tide of polio should be effectively 
stemmed. The Salk treatments, having proved effective 
in the treatment and the prevention of this disease, should
be strictly adhered to.
Let each community and school see to it that there are
ample facilities for the giving of these shots and that no community 
or individual is passed by in this mammoth sweep to
conquer for all time this dreaded polio parasite.

Brief Comments
Theory is all right for the books, but it takes practical expression 
of ideas to make life better.
The Bible still outsells any book published, and whether
you believe it or not, it is still being read.
The oft-predicted buyers' strike will occur, according to
observers, when the people run out of money.
The best friend is the person who tells you the truth, not
the one who tells you what you want him to.

NOT BY GUNS ALONE

CHAPTER 20
SLADE CONSIDINE had been
having an uncomfortable five
minutes. He tried to keep it from
showing on his face as he settled
his long body into a too small
rocking chair. He had dreaded
this interview, for Captain Catlin
hadn't struck him as the sort of
man who would have much patience 
with mistakes.
The Forest Service official was
meticulous and precise about
everything he did. Now Slade had
to wait while he carefully hung
up his jacket and hat, washed
his hands and combed his hair,
before he indicated that he was
ready to hear the new Ranger's
report.
Then he turned with his slight,
dry smile. "Well, how have things
been going?"
For answer, Slade started to
unpin the' badge on his shirt.
The Captain shook his head.
"I'll ask for that when I want it,"
he said dryly. "I take it you have
been having some trouble."
Slade nodded. "I am afraid I
haven't been much use to you.
You had better get another man
—maybe someone new to the
country, that isn't already mixed
up in all these old feuds."
Captain Catlin's smile flickered
out. "I didn't figure you for a
quitter, Slade."
The cowboy flushed and his
back stiffened. "My reasons aren't
personal and I guess you know
it. But so far I have done the
Forest Service more harm than
good."
"Maybe you better let me
judge that I expected trouble.
What has happened?"
Briefly Slade told him. Catlin
drummed nervous fingers on the
table, while he talked, but the
noncommittal expression on his
face didn't change by so much as
the flicker of an eyelash.
He did not interrupt to ask
questions until Slade had finished.
Then he said: "You want to
quit?"
Slade grinned a little. "I don't
want to," he said. "But I thought
if you were going to throw me
out anyhow, I'd rather be ahead
of the pitchfork than on it."
Catlin nodded. "Good! Now
here's something for you to try
putting your teeth into: maybe
you can think of some reason why
Wynn Thomason—who is supposed 
to be bucking the Forest
Service—is raising the devil to
get you discredited and a man
named Tony Miller made Ranger!" 

At the incredulous look that
spread over the cowboy's face,
Catlin nodded again. "That's
right He even tried to get the
job for him before I hired you."
"Well, I'll be hanged!" Slade
said slowly and thoughtfully.
Catlin's fingers took up their
quick tapping on the table once
more. "I am going to be frank
with you, Slade. Unless you and
I get results pronto, we are both
liable to be on the wrong end of
the pitchfork. You see—Thomason's 
uncle is one of the Senators
from Colorado and the Senator is
a friend of the Governor of this
Territory. They are putting a
great deal of pressure on the
Albuquerque office and in Washington. 
The Supervisor is trying
to stand pat, but the Forest
Service is too new a thing for
him to want to kick up a real
rumpus yet. So old Mrs. Kilgore
may win her fight yet."
Slade picked up his hat and
slapped, it slowly over his knee.
"You can, still have my badge,
Captain, if it will help you out
any."
The other man shook his head,
and now Slade saw that in his
pale eyes, behind their goldrimmed 
glasses, there was
warmth and humor, but plenty
of steel too.
"I don't like being pushed
around either," Catlin said quietly. 
"And it means a lot to me to
get the Service started out right.
You are still the man I pick to do
it here."
Thank you, Captain." Slade
stood up and turned his slow,
thoughtful grin on the smaller
man. "I can't help wishing I
hadn't wasted so much time trailing 
around after poor old
Frenchy."
Captain Catlin grinned back, "I
can see that perhaps we both
have the same idea." He held out
his hand. "Good luck—and don't
worry about the old lady's threat
to arrest you and Frenchy. I
think I can fix that up with the
sheriff for the time being anyhow." 

Beulah Denhart was alone behind 
the desk when Slade went
downstairs to the hotel lobby. She
had made a lightning change of
dress and combed her hair.
She hailed him as he crossed
the lobby. "If Frenchy happens
to be looking for his herder this
evening, you might tell him I
just saw Bacho heading for the
saloon next door, with a gleam in
his eye."
"Why, the crazy old coot!"
Slade said in exasperation.
"Thanks, Beulah! I'll grab him
by the shirt tail and yank him
home for Frenchy!"
He found Bacho in the saloon
leaning up against the bar alongside 
Tony Miller and a couple of
strange, hard-faced cowboys.
Bacho was always inoffensive
when drunk. He talked and giggled 
a lot, but mostly in a low
monotone to himself. There was
a half-empty whisky glass on
the bar in front of him, and from
the way he was weaving and
staring vacantly down at the floor
at his feet, Slade figured he had
probably been about half loaded
before he got to the saloon.
He walked over and tapped the
little man on the shoulder Let's
go, Bacho."
The little herder looked up at
him, smiling, vacantly. He picked
up his whisky glass and waved
it at the other three men along
the bar.
"Jus having a drink with my
friends," he mumbled. "Want you
to meet my friends—Tony Miller
—Slim Weaver—Butch Kaaper.
Slim's from Texas. He weighs
two hundred pounds—so they call
him 'Slim.' Funny—isn't it? All
of them work for Wynn now. My
good friend Wynn. Funny Wynn
needs so many men to work for
him now. Isn't that right, Tony?"
Slade took the glass out off his
hand and set it down. He caught
Bacho by the arm. "Come on,
Bacho."
Bacho tried to shrug off the
arm. "Lemme alone. Just wanta
drink with my friends. Tony's going 
to buy me another—"
Tony Miller's cold eyes raked
up and down Slade's lean height,
"You heard him!" lie snapped. "I
bought him that drink, and if he
wants to finish it, by gravies, he
can! No damn Ranger is going
to stop him while I'm around!"
Slade had always wondered just
how much real toughness was behind 
Tony's surly tongue. Now
was his chance to and cut. His
right suddenly uncoiled and
clipped Tony on the chin, sending 
him backward against the
bar.
Tony's hand streamed to the
gun at his hip, but Slade had followed 
up that first blow, and now
his hand slapped the gun from
the other man's hand the instant
it cleared the holster.
Then he whirled, half expecting 
fight from the other two
punchers, who seemed to be
friends, and who were apparently
new hands for the Anchor T. But
they were standing quietly, their
hands at their sides, their eyes
fixed on the bartender, who was
covering them with a sawed-off
shotgun. . . .

J. Edgar Hoover, Chief of the
FBI, estimates one million youths
will go through Juvenile courts this
year. In one California community
over 50 percent pi the 17-year-old
school population have police records. 

Ninety percent of the students
interviewed in an Eastern university 
said that they did not know
why they were at college. Of the
ten fraternities on the same campus 
only three were free from racial 
discrimination.
Rajmohan Gandhi, grandson of
Mahatma Gandhi, stated that 70
percent of all Iranian students in
the West returned to their country
as Communists. Of the 2,000 Burmese 
students who have come to
America in the past five years the
vast majority have returned either
Communists or affiliated to communism. 

This decadence is part of a strategy 
planned by Communists, said
Malcolm Roberta of Princeton University. 
"They used it to demoralize 
America, to prepare her for
take-over and to convince the rest
of the world the American way of
life is not what they want."
Roberts reported the nation-wide
action taken to counter this. "We
wrote a play," he said, "out or our
own experience called Ike New
American.' It shows what can happen 
to an average teenage gang
when they decide to take on clean
ing 
up the nation from bottom to
top and answering every last Problem 
in the world. A leading Indonesian 
told us, In my country
we have banned Hollywood films
because they Show only rock and
roll and the hula hoop. But we
must have "The New American" in
our country. It can save Indonesia
from communism."
Police Chief Joseph Miller from
San Marino, California, sold, "This
play should be shown in every high
school throughout the land." He
took action and the Play was
shown in the San Marino High
School. Police Chief Anderson of
Beverly Hills, said. "I have heard
people recommend many methods
of cunning Juvenile delinquency, such
as providing swimming pools, better 
school facilities, bigger backyards 
and cars. My community has
all these things but we still have
much juvenile delinquency. The
only solution is the application or
the ideology or Moral He-Armament." 

Ted Nichols, student from the
Bethune-Cookman College in Florida, 
said, "MRA has taught me
to think as an American rather
than just as a Negro. It is what
America is meant to give to the
world." A white Southerner, David
Jolly from Virginia, added. "A

change in character eliminates
every division. Such a change will
make the South a pattern or unity
for the whole world."
William Wilkes, of a Wall Street

Tickled At Ayres'
Entering Mayor's 'Race
To the Editor:
I was right tickled at Willis E.
Ayres, head of the White Citizens 
Council, entering the race for
mayor and predicting that he is
going to win.
Win on what? He's not going
to get many while votes, and the
Negroes certainly aren't going to
vote for him.
I agree with the statement made
concerning Ayres made by O. Z.
Evers that the White Citizens
Council man, always elaborating
an the racial issue and trying to
stir up emotions, is nothing more
than a rabble rouser who Memphians 
— intelligent white and Negro 
— can well do without.

Sad Crop Of
Mayor Candidates
To The Editor:
From the appearance of the
candidates for mayor on the recent 
WMCT television program, I
would soy we have a Bad crop
this election year.
Henry Loeb appeared the most
articulate, but Negroes should not
sell their race down the river by
casting their voles for someone
who has suggested that a site by
the Shelby County Penal Farm is
suitable as a housing area for
them.
A vote for Willis E. Ayres is a
vote for the White, Citizens Council 
and retrogression. Albert Boskey
of Frayser, a compute political
unknown, seems to be in the race
only for the prestige.
Partee Fleming impressed me to
an extent, but I don't know too
much about him except that he
has promised to bring 10,000 new
jobs to Memphis. It might be good
if Negroes endorsed Fleming as a
slap in the "face for racist Loeb,
since endorsing Ayres and Boskey
is out of the question.
It was most unfortunate that
Edmund Orgill had to drop out
of the race because of Illness. He

could have defeated the ambitious
Loeb easily, and Memphis, would
be in a better situation than it
is now.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The Leadership 
Council, which, represents more
than 60 per cent at registered
Negro voters, endorsed Partee Fleming 
earlier this week.

Letters To The Editor
TO THE EDITOR:
I am or the opinion that Commissiner 
Henry Loeb, candidate,

White supremists don't think any
more of Jews than they do of Negroes 
as any intelligent person

Jews — excluding, the occasional

The Faubus School Plan
To The Editor:
The recent proposal in which
Gov. Orval Eugene Faubus asked
the Little Rock school, board to
keep two of the white schools segregated 
while integrating the
other two is, like Mrs. Daisy Bates,
president of the Arkansas State
NAACP Chapter put it "Too ridiculous 
for comment."
Faubus proposed that Central and
Tech High Schools be kept lilywhite 
for segregationists and that
Hall High and Negro Horace Mann
High be integrated.
It is noticed that he would desegregate 
Hall High, and this is
no coincidence. Hall is located to
a higher economic status neighborhood, 
than the other two high
schools, and it is in this area where
opposition to his school policies
has been heaviest.
I recall when Orval Faubus said
he would open any of Little Rock's
public schools as integrated institutions, 
Looks like" the hillbilly

Man Who Bought
Beer For White
Boys Sentenced
A man charged with buying beer
for three under-age white boys was
sentenced to one-year imprisonment
Tuesday at Superior Court, however, 
Judge Claud p. Shaw suspended 
the sentence on condition
that the defendant pay a $75 fine.
Lewis Leonard reportedly told
the judge he purchased several cans
of beer for the teenage white boys
because they gave him the money
and a 50 cents tip to go into a Lee
Street establishment to purchase
the brew.

New York Probes
Ingemar, Floyd
Return Title Bout
District 
Attorney Prank S. Hogan disclosed 
Tuesday night that his office 
has been investigating since
July 23 the promotion of the first
Ingemar Johansson - Floyd Patterson 
heavyweight title fight and
the proposed September return
match.
Responding to inquiries, Hogan
said promoter Bill Rosensohn had
been called to his office three or
four times for questioning, and
Rosensohn is due there again Wednesday. 

Hogan said the promotion- and
stories about it-were being investigated 
by Assistant District Attorney 
John Bonomi, who is working
with the "boxing grand jury,"
which has been investigating the
sport for some time.
The June 26 fight, in which Johansson 
won the title from Patterson, 
is not being investigated,
itself-only the promotion, Hogan
stressed.
The district attorney explained
that, thus far, only Rosensohn had
been questioned-no one else connected 
with the promotion or the
fight.
News of the district attorney's
investigation came shortly after
the New York Stale Athletic Commission 
announced it was "alerted" 
Tuesday to Rosensohn's
charges that allies of Cus D'Amato 
had forced him out of the Johansson 
- Patterson return - bout
promotion.

POSSIBLE RISE IN JOBS
Unemployment rose in June because 
of the influx of job-hunting
college and high school students
into the labor market, according to
government sources.
But a moderate rise in employment 
is anticipated also, because
of expanding job opportunities in
agriculture, building, and other
outdoor occupations.
