Respecting Administrative Processes
As inevitable public school integration advances further into
the Deep South, it behooves all citizens to think soberly and orderly
before every act. Intemperate and illogical deeds can do nothing
except destroy all communication between the races, break down
the just administration of law and order in the South and the
United States and shatter any aspirations of continued American
world leadership.
Without defining any specific act of mistake or irresponsibility, 
we call for the highest respect for courts and administrative
processes by both Negroes and whites, whether they be in high
or low places of government, or community leadership. Until the
courts have acted on specific appeals against traditional wrongs
and laws, it is not wise for any leader to step in front of administrative 
processes. To do so will not exhibit any extra-administrative 
processes. To do so will not exhibit any extraordinary degree
of bravery or heroism. The results most likely will be injurious
and probably fatal, although without justification.
Just as we request and demand officials and citizens of the
majority race to respect the slow but sure interpretations of our
American courts, so must we respect them and move trustingly
within their shadow and protection.
The brutal and unjustified attack on a Negro minister at
Birmingham Monday indicates the wisdom and extra patience
required of our people during this time of tensions.

Birmingham Sinks To New low In Violence
When the history of 1957 Southern violence is completed, the
recent sexual mutilation of Joe P. Pritchett, 31, in Birmingham,
Ala., will be recorded as one of the lowest depths to which any
American has sunk under the banner of racial supremacy.
Here was a totally innocent citizen whom an ill-bent gang of
white men picked up from the streets and proceeded to set up
"as an example" to others engaged in the integration processes of
our democracy. As the perpetrators later confessed, Pritchett was
mutilated by Klansmen who were out to find "some damn Negro
to scare hell out of" and as part of a ritual required in their advancement 
in KKK ranks. Their acts should prove obnoxious to
every decent American.
The South can never solve its problems if crimes of this nature 
are condoned through light handling and penalties. The
accused white men, following arrest and confession, have been
granted bond under light charges. Even under conviction for
the charges as rendered, they could only receive minimum punishment. 
Within Birmingham's present climate of tension, conviction 
might be doubtful.
A few white men have brought shame to Birmingham's
name. The least the decent citizens of Birmingham have a right to
expect is that these men who have reportedly confessed to an
inhuman and illegal act will be punished to the extent the law
permits.

The Court Remains Supreme
Those in this generation will long have in their recollection
one of the rarest enactments of American history; the headon
collision of the federal government through the Constitution of
the United States and a Supreme Court decision with that of the
governor of a state.
Those who wondered at circumventive measures and otherwise 
passing of laws directly in conflict with the Constitution of
the United States will not have to ask anybody any question if
their attention is focused on the predicament of the governor of
Arkansas who claims to have been carrying out an oath taken
to uphold a law which legalized something the Constitution of
the United States had already decided was illegal.
Governor Faubus, probably the trial balloon in this defiance
element, has been summoned to appear in court to clarify his
position and harmonize his acts with the mandates of the federal
government. Those states and governors who have like laws, like
attitudes and before them the solemn pledge — "as long as I am
your" and etc., have something over which to ponder also.
Whether Governor Faubus went so far as that or not, he finds
himself engulfed nevertheless in what is bound to follow in the
wake of any attempt to superimpose states' rights above the
federal Constitution and the basic principles of human rights.
The entrance of a United States Marshal to the grounds and
mansion of the governor to serve him papers shows that Arkansas
is still a part of the Union and that not even a governor is
immune from that respect due and demanded by the federal
courts.
The nation in all probabilities will for a long time to come,
remain united with the court Supreme!

President Eisenhower Acts Promptly
And Wisely
The timely utterance of the President of the United States in
the form of a telegram replying to one he received from Governor
Orval Faubus of Arkansas, will go down as an immortal document
of state, along with the Gettysburgh address delivered by President 
Lincoln on that time honored battlefield where this nation
before upheld its prestige and dignified authority.
Gov. Faubus of Arkansas, who called out the state militia to
prevent Negroes from enrolling in the Little Rock High School, had
wired President Eisenhower that federal agents were reportedly
tapping the governor's phone and planning his arrest. The Arkansas 
governor also asked the President to give assurance that
federal agents would not interfere with the governor in what he
considered his "rights."
The Department of Justice had already publicly stated the
reports had no foundation The President, in his reply to the governor, 
stated there was no basis of fact to the reports, but very
significantly, he said; "The only assurance I can give you is that
the Federal Constitution will be upheld by me by every legal
means at my command."
Because of the importance and significance of the President's
message, we re-print it below:
"Your telegram received requesting my assurance 
of understanding of and cooperation in the
course of action you have taken on school integration
recommended by the Little, Rock school board and
ordered by the United States District Court pursuant
to the mandate of the United States Supreme Court.
"When I became President, I took an oath to
support and defend the Constitution of the United
States. The only assurance I can give you is that the
Federal Constitution will be upheld by me by every

legal means at my command.
"There is no basis of fact to the statements you
make in your telegram that federal authorities have
been considering taking you into custody or that telephone 
lines to your executive mansion have been tapped 
by any agency of the federal government.
"At the request of Judge Davies, the department of
justice is presently collecting facts as to interference
with or failure to comply with the district court's
order. You and other state officials — as well as the
National Guard — which is of course uniformed, armed 
and partially sustained by the federal government
— will I am sure give full cooperation to the United
States District court."
(Signed) DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER.
In one of the news reports on the action by the troops, one
of the soldiers reportedly stated that: "We are making history."
He is correct; but the kind of history they are making is bringing
a discredit to the democratic ideal.
On the other hand, the wise and just stand taken by President 
Eisenhower will live through the years as long as people
love freedom and justice.
Little Rock's Mayor Woodrow Mann has publicly criticized
the action by Governor Faubus as "creating tension where none
existed in calling out the National Guard to prevent integration."
We don't think any person is better qualified than the mayor
to judge the situation. On the basis of reports, we share Mayor
Mann's opinion.
The situation at Little Rock hurts all and helps none. So let
us hope it will soon be resolved with the federal law remaining
supreme.

Texts Of Telegrams Exchanged
Between President And Faubus
Following are the texts of the
telegrams exchanged Wednesday between Gov. Orval Faubus
of Arkansas and President Eisenhower arranging a conference on
the Little Rock School Crisis.
The Governor's Telegram:
"Dear Mr. President:
"I have accepted summons from the United States District
Court, Eastern District of Arkansas, to appear before that court
on Sept. 20, to answer certain allegations and litigations affecting 
the high school in Little Rock. Recognizing that we jointly
share the great responsibility under the Federal Constitution, I
feel that it is advisable for us to counsel together in determining
my course of action as Chief Executive of the state of Arkansas
with reference to the responsibility placed upon me by the State
and Federal constitution.
"The United States District Court has already entered an
order relative to the integration of the high school in Little Rock,
and this order has been affirmed by the Circuit Court of Appeals.
"All good citizens must, of course, obey all proper orders of
our courts and it is certainly my desire to comply with the order
that has been issued by the district court in this case consistent
with my responsibilities under the constitution of the United States
and that of Arkansas. May I confer with you on this matter at
your earliest convenience.
(Signed) ORVAL E. FAUBUS."
The President's Telegram:
"I have your telegram in which you request a meeting with
me. Would it suit your convenience to come to my office on the
Naval Base at Newport either Friday afternoon, Sept. 13, at 3
o'clock or Saturday, the 14th, at 9 o'clock.
"If you would let my office know your method pf transportation 
to the Newport area my staff will arrange to have you met
and brought to the base."

MEALTIME MELODIES!
Milk is one of the best foods you
can get. It contains many vitamins
and minerals, also fats, sugars and
high-quality proteins.
Milk is especially important for
three nutrients:
The mineral calcium, which is
needed all life long for healthy
bones.
The B-vitamin
riboflavin, which
is one of the nutrients, 
essential
for healthy skin
and nerves and
which helps the
body cells to use
other nutrients
carried to them by
the blood.
Protein, which
is the main building-and-repair 
material of ail tissues 
in the body.
Many people get too little of
these three nutrients for their best
nutritional health and too little
milk is often the reason.
The easiest way to get sufficient
milk in the diet, of course, is to
drink good, fresh fluid milk as a
beverage. But in case you serve
other beverages at mealtime, a
tasty dish using milk can substitute.
For example:
4 cups milk
1-2. cup sugar
1-8 teaspoon salt
4 eggs separated
1 teaspoon vanilla
vanilla wafers or other cookies
3 bananas
Heat the milk sugar, and salt
in a double boiler. Beat the egg
yolks slightly, and slowly add some
of the heated milk.
Pour back into the heated boiler
and sir constantly until the custard 
coats the spoon. Remove at
once from the heat, place the pan

in a bowl of cold water, and stir
the custard occasionally as it cools.
Add the vanilla.
In the bottom of a greased 2quart 
baking dish, put a layer of
vanilla wafers or cookies, slice
over them a layer of banana, and
add some of the custard. Repeat
until the dish is about 3 quarters
full.
Make a meringue of the whites of
the eggs, using 2 tablespoons of
sugar for each egg white. Spread
over the pudding and bake for about
12 minutes, at 350 degree F. (Moderate 
oven) until lightly browned.
Chill the pudding before serving.
Six servings. Two-thirds cup milk
per serving.

pushed through his reelection. They
claim that according to the minutes,
read at Wednesday's morning session, 
elections were to held on
Thursday. However, in the the afternoon 
while most of the anti-Jackson 
Messengers (delegates) were
relaxing at their hotels, pro-Jacksonites 
stamped, the convention and
succeeded in having him reelected. 

Attempts by the anti-Jackson
forces to effectively protest the
manner in which Rev. Jackson was
reelected were rebuffed Thursday
and resulted with four Messengers
being arrested.
The threatened court action came
after anti-Jackson forces met at
the local West Chestnut Baptist
church across the street from the
Louisville. Armory, convention headquarters, 
to plan for the impending
battle. They elected the Rev. Wm.
H. Borders of Atlanta, and the Rev.
Samuel James of San Antonio, secretary. 
They also retained James M.
Nabritt, Jr., Washington attorney,
to make a court test of the Cloture
amendment.
It was reported that 36 state
presidents attended the meeting.
They were said to be determined to
have the matter "righted" or proceed 
to form a new convention.
Meanwhile; Rev. Jackson; who
doubles as pastor of Chicago's Olivet
Baptist Church, was said to be
rapidly consolidating his position to
offset court action. At last Thursday's 
session, he asked that the
journal of Wednesday's activities,
including the portion describing
his reelection, be read and approved. 
It was done.
Next, he asked for a standing vote
of those "who are satisfied with the
the action of the convention thus
far," and got that approved also
by a majority of Messengers.
The latter action was interpreted
as a move to forestall any legal action 
on the contention that the
election was improperly conducted.

MY NAME'S Donald Lam," I
said. "Here's one of my
cards."
Lucille Patton looked at the
card. "Who's B. Cool?"
"Believe it or not," I told her,
"the B stands for Bertha, my
partner."
"How cozy!"
"Not when you know Bertha."
"Older?"
"Older, heavier, tougher, and
more skeptical."
"How does it happen you got
teamed up with her?"
"It's a long story."
"And what do you want from
me?"
"I was called in a few days
ago to investigate a man by the
name of Drury Wells; a client
wanted to find his wife. I went
to talk with Wells. Wells told
me that they'd had a fight and
his wife had gone away. He
thought perhaps she'd gone away
with another man."
"Go on," she said.
I said, "A neighbor living next
door beard voices at night, heard
the sound of a quarrel, heard a
scream, then the sound of a blow,
and silence. After that, Drury
Wells went out of the house carrying 
something over his shoulder. 
That something was wrapped
up in a blanket or a rug. It 
have been a body. It could have
been blankets. He got a pick and
shovel, dumped whatever he was
carrying in his car, put in the
pick and shovel and drove away.
That was sometime after midnight. 
He came back two hours
and forty-five minutes later."
She sat looking at me out of
the corner of her eye, sizing me
up, then she looked straight
down the road for a few moments
and said, "Anything else?"
"Now we come to the hard
part. Our client wouldn't pay us
enough to complete the investigation. 
I had visions of a wife having 
been murdered. I called a
friend on the police force and
gave him the story. He went out,
talked with the neighbor, came
to the conclusion there'd been a
murder. Wells wasn't around.
The police officer put the house
under twenty-four-hour guard,
hoping Wells would turn up.
"Wells didn't turn up, but the
so-called wife did. She was alive,
well and happy. The officer's
face is red, my face is red. Somehow 
I don't think I have the
whole story. I want the whole
story."
"So you came up here to see
Me?"
"No. I came up here to see
Wells' wife. His legal wife
There's never been a divorce. I
thought she could give ma a tip.

She did give me a lead. She
thinks the second wife may be
an Yvonne Clymer who made
passes at Wells while they were
living in Burbank. I know she
is.
"Your uncle died a short time
ago. He left a section of property 
in San Bernardino County
to his niece, Yvonne Clymer.
Newspaper reporters tound her.
She was Mrs. Drury Wells, she
was to inherit the property and
fifteen thousand in cash unless
she predeceased the uncle, in
which eyent you were to get it.
So I thought you might know
something."
"Where do you go from here?"
she asked.
"Back to Los Angeles."
"You're on an expense account,
otherwise you wouldn't be running 
around here renting cars."
She opened her purse, felt around
inside, pulled out the key, fitted
it to the lock, snapped her purse
shut, tucked it in beside her and
said, "Under the circumstances,
Donald, I think you're going to
take me to dinner, and you may
as well call me Lucille."
I said, "Apparently I'm the
one who's being kidnaped."
"Do you want to call the
cops?"
"Not yet"
"Perhaps you will later on,"
she said, as she eased the car
away from the curb.
"Exactly what's the big idea?"
I asked.
"I think," she said, "I have
something to tell you, but I have
to know a lot more about you
before I start talking. The best
way a girl can tell about a man
is to go to dinner with him, to
dance with him, and see what
sort of approach he uses."
"Okay," I said. "You're putting 
me through my paces.
Where are we going?"
"Out to a restaurant where we
can eat and have cocktails and
dance."
"Don't you want to stop by
your apartment and freshen up
first?"
"I want to, but I'm not going
to. That manager has big eyes,
big ears, and apparently a big
mouth."
I said, "She'll put two and two
together and figure out what
happened."
"No, she won't. When I come
in, she'll tell me you were there,
that she thought you had gone
to look for me. Before she asks
me if I saw you, I'll ask her to
describe you, what you looked
like, whether you were nice and
all of that. I won't lie to her.
I'll simply throw her off the
track by letting her describe you
and then I'll get a picture of you
through her eyes."
"You women!" I said.
"Tricky, aren't we?"
I settled back in the seat. She
handled the car with the skill of
an expert.
I closed my eyes.
"Tired so soon?" she asked.
"Hush." I told her, "I'm concentrating." 

"On what?"
"I'm cramming for my examination," 
I said.
She laughed a throaty, melodious 
laugh that made me flash a
quick look at her and reappraise
the situation all over again: She
was nice, but she wasn't demure.
She wasn't the least bit afraid
of me, and I had an uneasy feeling 
that she'd been planning a
campaign all the time she had
been sitting there in the automobile 
asking me to tell her exactly 
what I wanted.
We pulled into a rather swanky
restaurant. It was too early for
much of a crowd in the dining
room, but the cocktail lounge
was pretty well ailed. We went
in there and when the waiter
asked what we wanted, she ordered 
a Manhattan.
I had A Manhattan.
Fifteen minutes later we had
another Manhattan. Twenty minutes 
later we had another Manhattan. 

The liquor had some effect on
her and it had quite ah effect on
me. I could see that her eyes
were glistening and her cheeks.
were slightly Hushed. Her manner 
was a little more vivacious
but she was keeping careful control 
of herself.
"Are you," I asked, "trying to
make me drunk?"
"I want to crash through your
Inhibitions."
"They're crashed. When do we
eat?"
"Right now, if you say so."
She was not shy about eating.
She had a New York cut, medium
rare, baked potato, avocado salad
and coffee.
I went along.
There was a Juke box in the
place and we did a little dancing.
She was nice. I held her as close
as I dared, and she Bashed me
a glance from time to time that
did things to me.
We had dessert and two B &
B's. I shuddered to think of Bertha's 
reactions to the expense
account if I didn't fake it.
We had another B & B, and
I decided to fake hell out of the
expense account.
We left the place, and when
the attendant brought the car
up, Lucille slid in behind the
steering wheel.
An evening with Lucille almost 
results in Donald's being
stranded at the airport. Continue

Rev. King Says

anniversary meeting of the Highlander 
Polk School here last week
that peaceful resistanse, not violence, 
will win for the Negroes the
end of segrgation in all forms.
"We must struggle passionately
and unrelentingly for the goal of
justice," he declared, "but we must
never succumb to the temptation
of using violence."
He said refusal to strike back
with violence "will mean suffering
and sacrifice but the Negro's defense 
is to meet every act of violence 
toward an individual Negro
with the fact that there are thousands 
of others who will present
themselves in his place as potential 
victims."
"If the oppressers bomb the
home of one Negro for his courage,"
Rev. King continued, "then this
must be met by the fact that they
will be required to bomb the homes
of hundreds and thousands of Negroes. 

"If they deny bread and milk
to Negro children whose parents
want them to be free, then they
must be required to deny those
children every necessity of life—
water and air itself."

Governor Hints

his use of National guardsmen.
There may have been a hint in
the Governor's telegram Wednesday 
that he will withdraw the National 
guard if he is ordered to do
so by Federal District Court Judge
Ronald Davies, who has ordered
integration in Little Rock to proceed
Forthworth.
Faubus told the President:
"All good citizens must, of course
obey all proper orders of our courts
and it is certainly my desire to
comply with the order that has
been issued by the District court
in this case consistent with my responsibilities 
under the constitution
of the United States and that of
Arkansas."
Mr. Eisenhower was playing golf
when the Governor's telegram was
received at the port White House
at about 2:30 P. M. (FDT). News
secretary James C. Hagerty drove
to the Newport Country Club to
deliver it to the President, walking
out on the course to catch him at
the end of the first hole.
Mr. Eisenhower immediately accented 
the Governor's proposal,
and Hagerty sent the return telegram 
from the club house.

Little Rock Story

ed blocking of court orders to integrate 
Little Rock's schools, but
attempted to explain the southern
point of view. Readers have been
warned that the problem is complicated. 

The London News chronicle said
the other day that Little Rock
scenes "have been nauseating and
pitiful. But it is important to see
the story in perspective.
The West German Press has
been splashing the Little Rock
story but has studiously refrained
from editorial comment.
The integration battle in the
South is considered a very ticklish
one in Bonn. But there have been
no visible signs that it has influenced 
America's reputation in West
Germany. Part of the reason may
be the integration of the U. S.
Army initiated by President Eisenhower.

I wish we could take you by

nape of your neck, and throw you
as far out of Nashville as possible."
Kasper, acting as his own attorney 
in the hour-long hearing in a
crowded and very hot courtroom,
declared at one point:
"I refuse to stand trial on grounds
of my constitutional rights are being
violated"
He said he had no time to get a
lawyer, nor to study, the charges
against him, nor to call witnesses.
Meanwhile, a few blocks away
Mayor Ben West and city school
officials were closeted with U. S.
Dist. Atty. Fred Elledge, Jr. they reportedly 
were seeking a federal injunction 
against Kasper to prohibit
him from interfering with the integration 
of about 15 Negroes in six
of the city's schools.
Mayor West also was to ask if
Kasper's appeal bond from two earlier 
federal convictions for interfering 
with school integration at
Clinton, Tenn., can be revoked.
The city's crackdown on other
persons involved in the violence in
Nashville continued swiftly. Judge
Doyle found 20 persons, in separate
cases, and handed out fines ranging
from $5 to $50. Both Negroes and
whites, men and women were among
these defendants, and a regular arsenal 
of knives and pistols grew on
the courtroom desk as they were
submitted in evidence.
Sharking is the big sport along
the southern coast of England, says
Pan American. The waters near
Cornwall teem with these great
fish, and the Shark Angling Club
of Great Britian has its headquarters

for $22.40 a day and tackle rents
