Not So Bad Many people feel that our youth are “going to the dogs’’, and lack the moral strength and courage that has made Americans great in the past. But recently at one of our local schools the teacher asked fifth grade pupils to write down, in class and without help, what they thought they could do to make a great nation, the United States, even greater. Here are two of the answers. “I want to go to college and get an education. Then I may become a school teacher. They say we always need more teachers. As a teacher I could help teach the children who someday will he the leaders of our country what they need to know. If I teach them what I should, they may do a better job in leading our country. “Or I may become a nurse. At a hospital I could help make people well, keep diseases from spreading to other people. This would make our country a safer place to live. “All that I have mentioned so far is what I can do when I get older. But right how as a child I can help, too. If I pay attention and learn what I should right now, I will be ready when the time comes to take my place in our country.” And another one: “I can do many things to make my country a better place to live. When I’m young like I am, I should develop good habits so that when I grow up I won’t be doing things which I shouldn’t. I should learn to obey all laws when I am young so I will be able to be a good citizen when I grow up. I should apply myself to do all good things to help my country. “When I am old enough to drive a car, I should not race and speed around, for my own safety and for everybody else’s too. Everyone, I think, has a right to live! “I think I should pick up and dump in a trash barrel the papers and things which I use, and which other people have used, in the park where I play. “I,earnestly think that if everyone would apply self-discipline, they could do all of the things mentioned above and would make this country of the red, white, and blue a better place to live in!”

Great Issue Still Unsolved In Sit-ins
WASHINGTON (UPD—The Supreme Court has momentarily removed the sting from Southern sit-in prosecutions, but the great issue posed by the cases remains undecided. It is: Does a business establishment open to the general public have a right to choose its own customers? This blockbuster was reserved by the court at least until next term. It could be speculated that the short step the court took Monday was all it felt the country could stand in view of current racial unrest. But the truth is that no one but the nine justices know why they do things, and they aren’t telling. Overturns Convictions The court overturned trespass and criminal mischief convictions in four lunch-counter cases on the Weary Pope Cancels Private Audiences VATICAN CITY (UPD — Pope John XXIII, fatigued by a heavy round of public appearances, is cancelling private audiences for a nine-day period of “spiritual retirement,” a high Vatican source said today. The source said the 81-year-old Pope planned to go ahead with Wednesday’s weekly general audience in St. Peter’s as scheduled. Reliable sources inside the Vatican said the Pope has suffered another “weak spell” in the last 48 hours and there is preoccupation on his condition. But he said private audiences, including regular meetings with aides, would be cancelled beginning Friday for a solemn Novena (nine days of prayers) leading up to the Feast of Pentecost, June 2. Such a period of retirement and spiritual exercises is normal in pre-Christmas season, but unusual as a preparation for Pentecost. The source said the Pope made the decision to give special solemnity to Pentecost in this year of the Ecumenical Council, But the source also admitted that the Pope overexerted himself during long public ceremonies this month in which he was awarded the Balzan Peace Prize. Another reliable Vatican source said the Pope has felt “very weak” in recent days. There has been no firm indication whether the Pope’s weakness stems from a recurrence of the illness which confined him to bed last November. The illness was officially described at the time as “gastric trouble" and severe anemia. Press reports that the Pope was suffering from cancer were never confirmed or denied by the Vatican. Officials said repeatedly that they knew nothing more than was said in the only communique on the Pontiff’s illness in November.

ground that local governments—not storekeepers—were actually to blame for the racial tionchief Justice Earl Warren held in the court’s decision that local laws and edicts had deprived businessmen of their freedom of choice as to who could be served on their premises. The thrust of the court’s opinion was that so long as these laws are on the books the proprietor of a store is presumed to act under them. What he would do if left to himself is beside the point at the moment, under the decision. In one case, from New Orleans, there was no local segregation ordinance. But Warren said statements by the mayor and the police superintendent amounted to the same thing. Will Free Demonstrators This handling of the touchy “sitin” issue was urged on the court by the Justice Department in accordance with the time-honored principle that a major constitutional decision is always avoided if a case can be disposed of on narrower grounds. As it is, the decision will free hundreds of demonstrators who took part in the 1960-61 sit-in movement in places having similar. segregation ordinances. They have been free on bond awaiting the results of Monday’s cases, which came from Greenville, S.C., Birmingham, Ala., and Durham, N.C., in addition to New Orleans. The ruling had the preculiar result of barring discrimination in cities where there are local ordinances requiring segregation, and leaving the whole matter up in the air in cities which do not have such ordinances. The suggestion was made during November arguments that a decision like Monday’s might well result in a rush to get such ordinances off the books. Justice Harlan Dissents Only Justice John M. Harlan dissented from the court’s reasoning in the sit-in cases. He said: “Freedom of the individual to choose his associates or his neighbors, to use and dispose of his property as he sees fit, to be irrationaL arbitrary, capricious, even unjust in his personal relations are things all entitled to a large measure of protection from governmental interference.” Harlan said the mere existence of ordinances requiring segregation in public eating places did not remove the businessman from the sphere of private choice. He said it should be shown in each case whether the proprietor was motivated by the ordinance or by some purpose of his own. A case argued last fall first pinpointed the rights of the operator of a private business- It concerned five Negroes who insisted on riding the carousel in privately operated Glen Echo Amusement Park in Montgomery County, Md. The court announced Monday that the case would be re-argued some time during the term starting next October.

Uneasy Truce Prevails In Birmingham By United Press International An uneasy racial truce prevailed in Birmingham today but Negroes vowed to continue demonstrating for “across-the-board desegregation" in North Carolina. A Negro civil rights leader warned at Jacksen, Miss.. Monday night that racial turbulence would upset the Mississippi capital unless it changes its racial policies. Birmingham school officials Monday expelled 1.098 Negro students who cut classes to participate in antisegregation demonstrations several weeks ago. It was feared this action might jeopardize the truce that came “with ~an agreement between Negro leaders and white businessmen to desegregate downtown storesSays Truve Stands But Negro leader Martin Luther King Jr., who returned to Birmingham from his Atlanta home Monday night, said the truce “still stands. He will not call for a mass walkout or boycott nor a mass demonstration at this point.” He said, however, that attorneys are investigating the possibility of a federal court suit seeking reinstatement of the expelled students. He said the students were expelled without their right to a hearing. The Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth, leader of the Alabama Christian Movement, warned at Cincinnati, Ohio, Monday night, however, that the expulsions called for an “assessment of all possibilities” by Birmingham Negro leaders. “It is not our intention to be pushed into resuming these derponstrations,” he said. “We are hopeful that the truce will go, on and we will resist all provocations.” Police Arrest 400 Around 800 Negroes marched into downtown Greensboro, N.C., Monday night - and milled around two cafeterias and movie theaters. Police arrested some 400 of the group, boosting to around the 2,000 mark the number of persons arrested in antisegregation demonstrations in North Carolina since last week. “The marches and arrests will continue until we have across-the-board desegregation,” said William Thomas, president of the Greensboro chapter of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). A crowd of about 2.000 Negroes gathered .outside the Durham, N.C., city hall during the first meeting of a new city council. New Mayor Wense Grabarack had asked Negroes for two weeks time to attempt a solution to Durham’s racial problems. The Negroes refused and scattered over the downtown area, staging sit in attempts at restaurants. Around 600 were arrested. About 80 Negroes marched through Charlotte, N-C., Monday singing for an “end to segregation.” Warns of “Turbulent Times” Medgar Evers, Mississippi field secretary for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), warned in a television broadcast Monday night that “turbulent times” may be ahead for Jackson. He was granted equal time on the, station to reply to a speech made last week by Jackson Mayor Allen Thompson, who said the city was a target for "racial agitators” but segregation would be preserved. Evers said that integration was earning to the South oven though “Mayor Thompson persists in deluding the people that conditions are. going to remain the same in Jackson.” Evers said Jackson can either “recognize the situation” and meet changes or “have what Mayor Thompson called turbulent times.” /

Is it proper to eat while carrying on a conversation with another person who is doing most of die talking, yet talking more or less to you? t A. Give-and'-take there must be in dinner-table conversation — butsince there must also be eating, you can only strive to combine the two in pleasantly alternating in.terYals. _ — Q. When someone to whom you’ve just been introduced says, “I’m so glad to have met you,” isn’t a smile of acknowledgment sufficient? A. I shouldn’t think so, since this would seem to have a condescending air about it. It is mach better to accompany the smile with a “thank you.” ’

Quebec Wars On Liberation Front Leaders MONTREAL (UPD — The Quebec government, convinced that anti-confederation terrorists are responsible for the recent wave of bombings here, took the lead today in an all-out war against the Quebec Liberation Front. Premier Jean Lesage was to meet this morning with heads of federal, provincial, local and military police to map strategy for the campaign against the separatists. The premier announced he had summoned top police officials to a special security meeting and told newsmen the government had offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of anyone responsible for any act of terrorism in Quebec since April 1. City Offers Reward The " government bounty on the Front Liberation Quebecois (FLQ) raises the price on their heads to $60,000. The city of Montreal offered a SIO,OOO reward following the death several weeks ago of night watchman Wilfred O’Neil. O’Neil died when a bomb, which the FLQ admits it planted, exploded as he attempted to get it clear of an army recruiting center he was guarding. The terrorists Monday limited their activities to one explosion at a militia engineers' armory. But they warned that more would come. In Quebec City postal employees found 18 sticks of unfused dynamite in mail boxes on their ’ morning pickup. Police in the provincial capital interpreted it as a threat. Seek Independent Nation The FLQ has called for the . province of Quebec to break away from Canada and become an independent, French-speaking j nationh In Ottawa, where foreign min- ; isters from the North Atlantic Treaty countries are gathering for the spring NATO ministerial conference Wednesday” precauj tions were taken to protect delegates from threatened violence. The FLQ had warned Ottawa I hotels they would be bombed if they admitted NATO delegates. NATO officials deny, they are tak- ’ ing extra security steps, but De- ’ sense Minister Paul Martin said that “every precaution” would be 1 taken to protect delegates.
