With Calm And Maturity A new era had its beginning in Memphis last week when the heretofore segregated hells at Memphis State University gave way to progress and permitted Negro students to prepare themselves for the future in classrooms with white students. The change, as we had anticipated, came quietly. Regardless of the future, we salute the white student body at Memphis State University for accepting integration without demonstration on the first day. We are led to believe that perhaps the students were more mature in their thinking about the necessity of a vitalizing change in the racial practices in our beloved South than ore their fathers and mothers. We subscribe to the theory that no human relations problem is too big to solve if willing hands and hearts ore engaged. We salute the students of MSU for taking the first step of integration calmly and with maturity. Premier Khrushchev Given The Spotlight The visit of Premier Khrushchev of the Soviet Union is being given by the American press, radio and television almost unprecedented coverage. This shows, as President Eisenhower indicated in one of his comments, that there is the feeling that the American public is capable of seeing and hearing any man and then deciding for themselves. This is consistent not only with our principle of freedom of speech, but it is also consistent with reality. Russia today is one of the world's greatest powers, especially from a military standpoint. And she therefore, cannot be ignored. This visit by the head of that government with the head of our government should serve to bring about a better understanding between officials and the people of both nations. It is well that these hot and cold wars resolve into mediums of contacts; that nations decide, regardless of their varied religions, political ideologies and racial complexes on other than One of the top dramatic enactments would involve that epochal taking off from Washington of the Khrushchev party for the powerful metropolis of New York. There was every imaginable demonstration, all mixed with popular applauses to solid objections at the presence of a man not holding any brief for God, being followed, cheered and possibly in some instances jeered as he paraded before curious audiences that had never witnessed before in history a Russian Premier travelling the streets of this country. Mr. Khrushchev is presently strutting his hour on the stage. He came as the guest of the President of the United States and her people. He is having his innings with the press, the question and answer groups. He has freely and frankly enjoyed one aspect of American decorum, the freedom of speech. His answers to many of the questions posed him by those who come in as members of the fourth estate, will leave heavy indentures on the ledgers of our records. They will be echoed for many days and years in the halls of the Congress and in the general assemblies of the states. Fellow travelers and those who yearn an opportunity to disparage the lack of a real democracy at work, will find much to carry, both on the surface and underground what material that can be salvaged for their special designs. All in all the Khrushchev visit is marching into history. It is hoeing its own row through this maze of clashing opinions and social ramifications so perplexing at this time in our social order. The visit has been a victory for those who have insisted all along that more mediums of contacts be established from county and state levels. It has afforded food for thought for those who have lamented certain systems and practices on the part of those who would openly defy their own Constitutional directives and who wait for the courts to compel them to respect their own laws, made by their own lawmaking bodies regulating their behaviour in a society set up and implemented by a system of Laws. It will serve as a reminder to those who have looked with so much disfavor on the Soviet systems while sponsoring on the other hand what in the end amounts to the same practices not in accord with the basic foundations upon which this Republic rests. Little by little those friends of systems regulated by laws and those customs emitting from a catechism founded upon Democratic ideals, will gain help from those who will have become convinced that un-American practices in any area belong to the same school of spurious doctrines that ran from before the overthrow of the Roman Empire on to that awful terrace of the dead where flames were fought with the bones of flaming men at Verdum and the Marne. Mr. K. Gets us to do — for all people, regardless of color. But as long as one individual is discriminated against, a situation exists which we cannot condone. "We work without respite to solve the problem. And there is no doubt at all that, regardless of legal obstacles, legal segregation will completely disappear. "This is partly because of the pressure of the Federal government, partly because of the pressure of public opinion and partly because or the struggle conducted with much dignity by the Negro population itself. "Only five states today keep colored children and white children wholly segregated in tax-support ed schools. And in two of these states there are distinctly evolution signs. The American Negro's average dollar income in the last 20 years has increased 500 per cent. "Mr. Chairman, we are a diverse country, or many climates, and occupations and containing people of many races and religions. The United States cannot be simply described by a reference to the economic system. And that system, with its intense competition, its wide sharing of earnings, its ever-changing character and its enormous Government welfare program can certainly not be accurately summed up in the one word 'capitalistic." Mr. Khrushchev, when it was his turn to speak, ignored the question of race relations in the United States — an issue on which Red propaganda plays heavily. Tens of thousands of New Yorkers, while and colored, got only glimpses of Mr. Khrushchev as the Russian leader hurried about the city in a closed limousine in a tightly scheduled two-day visit here.

LETTERS TO THE To The Editor: "What kind of guidance are the Negro students who will attend Memphis State University soon getting? Apparently, none. I was utterly shocked when one of the students said she would sit in a specially reserved section for Negroes at Crump Stadium when attending MSU football games there. Those of us who have attended the "Blind Game" at Crump Stadium know of this specially reserved section for Negroes, this open-air "buzzard's roost" where the cold wind puts icicles under your toes and where you can never see which team has the bill. And the statement by one of the students to the effect that he didn't want to push into anyplace "where I'm not wanted." The Negro students are not wanted at the school! If the Negro students are not going to be insistent on their rights at Memphis State, it would be far better if they, would refrain from making any statements at all. They are talking too much!

ELI PHILLIPS Memphis Diamonds Found In Alley Eight-year-old Bob Brickman thought the little pieces of glass lying in the alley were real pretty. His pal, 11-year-old Mel Hall, thought so too. And so did a startled Jeweler when the boys brought in $1,000 worth of unset diamonds and asked him what they were. Police have the gems but don't know of any diamond theft or loss. If unclaimed, the boys have themselves some diamonds. New Labor convicted of certain crimes. Ticking them off, he cited "bribery, extortion, embezzlement, grand larceny, burglary, arson, narcotics violations, murder, rape, assault, with intent to kill, assault which inflicts grevious bodily injury or conspiracy to commit such crimes." No one may hold union office within five years after being convicted of any of these crimes, nor within five years after having been a member of the Communist Party. Mitchell also called the attention of all unions, employer associations and labor relations consultants to the provisions of Section 504. He urged them to make sure they are in compliance with the act. It applies equally to the other groups as well as to unions. However, Mitchell singled out Hoffa for personal attention by releasing the text of the telegram sent to the Teamsters chief. His wire to Hoffa also noted that it was a criminal offense for any persons to serve as a union officer within five years after being convicted or violating the financial reporting or trusteeship provisions of the new law. Thomas Says Henry's room and set fire to the place. Then the three left, walked Florida and Mallory, and chilled a relative of ours to pick them up. "After being let out at home, James and John Robert took the money they had taken from a box on the table and hid it in a field behind their house on Raines Rd. Three days later, the same two went back and got the money and divided it, giving Clarence both his and Percy's share. Eulas had gotten his on the night of the murder. John Robert said all five of the men were in on the robbery and murder, but that only James hit the doctor and that only he was in the room when the doctor was hit. He said Percy told James he was going "to tell it," and James told Percy he would kill him if he did. According to John Robert, the money except for what Eulas got, came to exactly $65 apiece for the four. He said he was told that Percy took no money, "because James wouldn't give him any." John Robert said he knew the police officers were coming after him because his sister had written and told him so, and had warned him not to run because he would probably be caught anyway. John Robert had not formally been charged with first degree murder at press time, but was expected to be charged before Probate Judge Sylvanus Polk.

Barker published by arrangement with Reynolds & Sons distributed by King Features Syndicate AS MARTHA KILGORE'S horse picked his way up the dark Escabrosa Canyon trail, the very blackness and lonesomeness of the narrow strip of sky overhead seemed to multiply the girl's fears tenfold. She was afraid that somewhere along this dark and lonely trail she would find Slade Considine—as she had found Jim Ned Wheeler earlier in the afternoon —dead. It had been many hours since she left him, hours in which anything might have happened. She was wondering how late it was when from down the canyon behind her she thought she heard a horse nicker. She felt rather than saw her own horse throw up his head to answer. She pulled him to a standstill and listened. For a moment there was only silence and the distant booting of an owl. Then from below she heard the unmistakable sound of a horse's hoofs striking the rocky trail fast, as if it were coming at a lope. Because he was so completely in her thoughts, in that first moment of exquisite relief, it never occurred to Martha that the rider might be anyone other than Slade Considine. She forgot that he had been afoot when She left him, and that Jim Ned's riderless dun had already found his way home before she left the ranch. "Slade?" she called. Abruptly the sound of the horse's steps stopped, then came on again more slowly. "Who is that?" Wynn Thomason's voice called sharply. All of the girl's fear came rushing back. She waited until Wynn was closer, then she said calmly: It's Martha." "Martha! For gosh sakes, what are you doing here?" There was panic in his strangely hoarse Martha's heart was hammering hard in her throat, but she answered calmly enough, "I'm looking for Slade." "Slade?" By now Martha had collected her wits and had her story ready. "Yes. Jim Ned was accidentally killed this afternoon. He was thrown from his horse and dragged to death. Slade and I found him. He put the body on his horse, then sent me over the hill to wait where it was warm and sunny, while he came back to see if he could find Jim Ned's horse. I waited all afternoon and when he didn't come back I got worried and decided I had better start to look for him." "Gosh, that's sure too bad! But you don't need to worry about Slade! There isn't any way that a man afoot could really hurt himself bad in the woods. You better let me take you home now and if he hasn't showed up at Frenchy's in the morning, I'll get word to the sheriff and he'll get out a posse to look for him." His words were right, hut there was a strained, unnatural tone to his voice that put Martha's jumpy nerves on edge. "He said something about going up to the Valle Medio," she said mildly. "I'd like to look that far at least before I turn back." "No sense in doing that," Wynn's voice took on a sharp, raspy tone. "I been up there all day." Martha was momentarily checkmated. He had eased his horse up alongside and slightly ahead of her, turned halfway across the trail. She could never squeeze past him if he had wanted to stop her. "I suppose you're right," she said slowly, then deliberately let a little quaver come, into her voice. "But I've been no darned worried and scared, Wynn. And cold! You don't suppose he'd just go off and forget about me, do you?" She got the results she had been hoping for. The helpless, feminine appeal in her voice revived in Wynn a never quite abandoned hope. He turned his horse's head to let her move up beside him again. "You poor kid!" he said tenderly. "I don't wonder you were nervous! I think you're a mighty brave little girl to wait as long as you did:" Martha waited for the exact moment when he leaned from his saddle to lay his band over hers, then she dug her tight spur sharply into her horse. He lunged forward, and Wynn was too taken by surprise to have time to stop her. "Wynn!" Within a dozen yards the girl yanked her horse up again, her eyes sighting for the first time a reddish glow against the rock-rimmed sky up ahead. "That looks like a fire!" "Tony's burning the old grass." His voice sounded strained and urgent. "I thought maybe I could kill the larkspur that way. I was just riding up to help him watch it You had better go on home, Martha. The Valle's no place for a girl this time of night." But Martha had not heard the last of what he said. She had put spurs to her horse. She leaned low in the saddle, wondering if Wynn might even shoot to try to stop her, and again the sickening dreadful fear that Slade Considine might be dead swept over her. At the gap she pulled up her horse, staring at the line of fire slowly licking its wav across the . Some of the trees at the fringe were burning, too. She caught her breath sharply. If Tony Miller were watching that fire, he had certainly let it get away from him. Behind her she heard Wynn's horse grunt windily as he started the last steep stretch of trail. There was a cabin in the , she remembered Jim Ned had told her. Could Slade Considine possibly be In there, inside that wall of fire?. Over there, a little way to the right, the fire seemed to be thinner. Probably she could get through now. But should she? Or would it be risking her life on a fool's errand? There was only the minute to make up her mind. Wynn was not far behind. Then suddenly her eyes caught the faint, dull gleam, of firelight on metal, almost at her horse's feet. It looked like empty shells — dozens of them — fresh and bright and newly fired. She slipped from the saddle and ran through the aspens toward the break in the fire. Halfway there her boot toe caught on something small and soft. She stumbled and nearly fell on her face, caught herself before she went clear down. Then she saw that what had tripped her was a man's hat —a flat-crowned black sombrero like the one Slade had been weartag. Behind her she heard Wynn call her name frantically. A bullet whistled over her shoulder. His horse was crashing through the aspens after her, but his horse was spooky about heading toward the fire and he wasn't making very good time. From somewhere she mustered an added burst of speed. Fleet and light-footed as a deer she ran. Behind her she heard more shots, but now they seemed to come from two directions. She risked one quick, frightened glance back over her shoulder, and in the glare of the fire saw Wynn and Tony Miller come together like two maddened bulls. She slipped off her jacket, cowled it over her head and plunged straight across the burning grass. She heard Wynn's hoarse voice calling her name again—frantically, despairingly. The flames and smoke licked hungrily at her clothing. The terrible heat was like nothing she could ever have imagined. Then for an instant man's ancient panic at fire claimed her. It seemed that she couldn't ever break through to the other side. © 1958 E. M. Barker, Published by arrangement with Paul R. Reynolds & Son. Dist. by King Features Syndicate. CHAPTER 32 By E.M.

Important considerations for each type of shelter are: arrangement or the entrance, ventilation, radio reception and lighting.

SEEING and SAYING By WILLIAM FOWLKES World's Managing Editor OUR VISITOR, Nikita Khrushchev is quite a card! He has, a lot of us upset by his "freedom of speech," which includes for him the right to defend his communist way of life, as over against ours. We have been somewhat cool, indifferent and worried about Mr. K., and our security guard around him will not be relaxed because of international implications should something happen to him. Khrushchev is quite needling! All of which is the more disconcerting since there is high scientific agreement that the Russians hit the moon with a highspeed, carefully guided and timed missle. TOM MBOYA, of Kenya, told Americans during his visit to our shores that multi-millions of world peoples were not concerned with what kind of refrigerator, radio and television was produced, but rather with getting enough food to eat, clothing to hide their nakedness and shelter of which to call home before the onslaught of nature and beasts. Those of us who throw away enough food in our garbage cans to feed another nation of folk may well be informed that many other peoples do not like us for our "arrogant" economy which curbs production for profit, which limits the achievement of entire segments of the population, because of race, creed and color. They are the ones to whom Khrushchev, is making a desperate, unyielding world appeal, backed up by his sputniks and atomic achievements. Mr. "K" Is Here!
