Deep South appears at least as, distant today as it did in May, 195*. Most advocates of compulsory desegregation, and some opponents, generally believed 2(4 years ago that the decision meant vir-tually-the end of a long ideological war. What most extremists on both sides, as well as more moderate observers, agree upon now is that the decision represented a major victory but no ultimate triumph. Ahead- lies many a year of antiintegration legal campaigns and extra-legal resistance on state and community levels. There is little likelihood that 1957 will witness any real integration in the state which would be most affected in terms of numerical ,ratios. Those sthtes are Mississippi, Alabama, Virginia, Georgia, South Carolina. North Carolina, Louisiana and Florida. Here and there a few Negro children may gain entry through court action. They will have had to make ttieir way through a maze of legal obstructions, created by legislative action, and such other and no less effective barriers as economic pressures or intimidation by organized .or spontaneous white groups. ; ’ ' Confronted with this resistance, the Negroes of the Deep South will probably again concert themselves primarily with getting Negro voters on the rolls as their best weapon in the quest for equal civil rights. And the white South can be exI pected to push ahead with school equalization programs which in the I long run may be more effective I than legal or illegal delaying tac- ; tics as a means es keeping white and Negro school children = separated.

Egypt Hints At Readiness For Agreement Indicates Readiness For Negotiation On Suez Settlement WASHINGTON (UP)—Egypt has. indicated to the United States it is ready to negotiate through the United Nations on a permanent Suez Canal agreement. At the same time, a number of U.S. officials are advocating revival of American plans to help Egypt build the huge Aswan Dam on the Nile River. Diplomatic sources said today Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser has given the United States hope during at least three; rouqdf; of talks at Cairo that he is ready to work for a permanent canal agreement. The diplomats said Nasser also has indicated he may be able to accept some kind of “peace without settlement” in the general Arab-Israeli struggle. Howdver. they said Nasser has told the United States very definitely this is not the time for an Arab-Israeli settlement. The diplomats said talks on a permanent eanal agreement may begin shortly after Jan. 1 at U.N. headquarters in New York. But they indicated the date for openirig the talks depends on resolving the current dispute over clearing the Mocked canal. They said Nasser expressed interest in reaching a permanent canal agreement based on the principles approved by the U.N. Security Council in October before the Anglo-French and Israeli attacks on Egypt. The principles call for non-dis-criminatory “free and open transit of.the canal? ’ respect for Egyptian
sovereignty, agreement on tolls, non-political operation, canal development and arbitration in case of disputes. Informed sources said Middle East experts in the State Department are considering revival of U.S. plans to help NaSser build the Aswan Dam as part’of a broad economic aid program for the Middle East. The sources said no final decision has been reached. Tear Gas Used To Halt Jail Ruckus Stop Distribuance In Columbus Jail ! COLUMBUS, Ind. JW — City pot lice used tear gas to help Sheriff ; Earl Hogan stop a ruckus Tuesday in the Bartholomew County ’ Jail. I Hogan was awkened by the disi. turbance and when he entered the «-cell block Alvin Burton, 30, Columbus, was hitting and kicking Alfred Hiten, 45, Columbus, he said. Hiten, rearrested Monday on i charges of running down -his- wife, i Ida Mae, with an automobile last ■ June, was taken to Bartholomew . County Hospital for treatment. y Hogan said Don Gates, 29, Columbus, and William Eldridge, ' 24, Franklin, who were suspected k ; along with Burton of trying to saw their way out of the jail last month, also took part in the disturbance. Burton ripped a lavatory from the wall, Hogan said, and threw pieces of it at anyone who entered the cell block. —X’ Hogan said Burton threatened to use a pipe to kill anyone who tried to enter or leave the block. 1 Efforts to use a fire hose to stop ’■ the melee failed and city police 'were called in to bring, tear gas. ’ After the battle Gates and Eldridge were taken to the Indiana Reformatory at Pendleton. Burton followed them after he was treated for a cut at the hospital.
Reporters' Stories Influence Policies Frequently Outrank Diplomats' Reports SANTA ROSA, Calif (Uf)—Dispatches from American reporters abroad frequently have more influence on U.S. foreign policy than reports from the ambassadors themselves, Frank H. Bartholomew, president of United Press, said today. Bartholomew appeared on a Rotary Club program arranged by radio station KSRO. "It is the free and unfetted U.S. reporter, prying into all sorts of things which are ‘none of bis business’ and ‘not in the public interest’ who turns up the shoekers, and who brings home the horror of oppression and die penalty paid by an uninformed public. "We have no press subsidy and we have no laws against ‘disrespect’, of public officials, as some countries havp. The reporter is a free man. And he is a free man because he has demonstrated his responsibility and determination to get the truth out and to stand by the truth./ Get Truth Out "We have reporters all over the world today facing with bravery and determination conditions which should appall a non-comba-tant. Why? To do what they’ve been trained to do and what they believe To got the truth out. “Russell Jones of United Press stayed for 37 days in Budapest during the bloodiest days of the revolt and siege—as the only U.S. newsman there. He stayed volun-tarily—-to get the truth out. “UP. cameramen on the AustroHungarian border focussed by the markings on their rangefinders because their eyes were too misty to focus directly. These reports and pictures told more than a trainload of diplomatic pouches. “Jones’ stories to the outside world came by whatever method he could devise I—by 1 —by courier, by Telex to Vienna and over shaky telephone lines. Witness to Murder “We asked Jones how ft wa s personally for him in Budapest. And on Nov. 15 he telephoned: “ ‘Life as the only American correspondent left in shattered Budapest is sometimes frightening, sometimes amusing. But mostly it is a continuous feeling of inadequacy both as an American and a reporter who helplessly watched the murder of an entire people.’ “He continued: “ ‘F«r the first time since I was a boy I wept,’;. ~ “His dispatches continued to present a vivid picture of the strifetorn and wrecked city. In one dispatch he wrote: “ ‘Every shot- from a sniper—and there are few but snipers left —brought an all-out barrage from concentrations of tanks, guns and automatic weapons. The wiping out of one rifleman might, and frequently did, mean the destruction of an entire apartment house or office building and the murder of scores of persons.’ Interviewed Mindszenty “Jones was among the few western reporters to see and talk to Cardinal Mindszenty. “On Nov. 4, along with the Associated Press’ resident correspondent—a Hungarian—and Ronald Farquhar of Reuters—he filed a pooled dispatch which gave for the first time some of the details of Mindszenty’s imprisonment at the hands of the Communists. “The Cardinal told them: “ ‘I suffered torture in body and 50u1... it is God’s miracle that I am here and am as I am.’ “A month later, Jones was ex- , polled and filed his last dispatch from Budapest.”

Pope Pius Grants General Audience VATICAN CITY (UP) — Pope Pius XII today gave a general audience attended by . more than 8,000 persons, mostly foreigners, in the Vatican hall of benedictions. The largest groups ware comprised *of American sailors and soldiers on Christmas leave. The Pontiff, as customary, personally talked to members of each group and at the end of the audience gave his blessing. Japanese Tell Os American Prisoners Return Home After Year In Red Camps MAIZURI, Japan- (tn — Japanese war prisoners who returned to their homeland today after 11 years in Soviet captivity told of meeting and bearing of Americans held in Russian prison camps. - Miaao Naito, linguist and former interpreter for the Kwantung army, told of hearing about < former Columbia University history professor captured by the Soviets in the 19305. Hideji Tsunezuka told of an American soldier he knew only as Cumish in Vladimir Prison. Cumish, he said, was a non-commis-sioned officer ,n intelligence who was captured by the Russians in Vienna while drunk. Naito said he heard about the former Columbia history professor from Francois Heyman, a French linguist and artist he met at Alexandrovsk Prison in 1951 and again at Vladimir Prison near Moscow last year. Heyman told Naito of meeting the professor ne knew only as "Droggtas” (phonetic Spelling) on the frozen steppes of Marinsky, Siberia, in 1939. Heyman said Droggins was sick the last time they met and asked him to get in touch with a Bessie Baron of Brooklyn, N.Y. The repatriates also said Hungarian freedom fighters would replace them in the notorious Siberian prison camp at Khabarovsk. Russia was reported to have carried out mass deportations . of young Hungarian patriots in the ruthless suppresion of the antiCommunist revolt in Hungary. Toshimichi Nakagawa said a Russian lieutenant told him that Hungarian patriots would be imprisoned in the 1 Khabarovk camp where the Japanese prisoners had been held. A total of 1.205 Japanese men came, ashore here from the transport Koan Maru after a voyage from the Siberian port of Nakhodka. Their arrival closed out the World War II repatriation program . in which 770,000 Japanese were ; brought back from the Soviet Union. i. — .
