...Governor Orval Faubus in September 1957, when he spurned both federal law and the sober advice of fellow citizens in his attempt to prevent integration at Little Rock's Central High School. Last week the South turned out of the blind alley and down the rocky road toward gradual acceptance of public-school integration with a competent new driver at the wheel. When Integration Day came to Virginia, white-maned Governor J. Lindsay Almond Jr., lawyer enough to admit the legal death of his massive-resistance laws (TIME, Feb. 9), deployed elements of his 653-man state police force...
...local share of land costs in urban renewal. Democratic housing leaders last week predicted: 1) authorization of 17,500 more public housing units, 2) a six-year, $350 million-a-year urban renewal program, with the Federal Government still paying two-thirds of the cost instead of the gradual reduction to 50% asked by Ike, and 3) a $150 million direct G.I. housing loan fund to backstop the new, higher 5¼% mortgage rate in areas where private capital fails to come forward to finance G.I. housing...
...people contest the point that the costs of college education are rising and will continue to do so ad infinitum, so long as the national economy remains one of "gradual inflation." We have been converted and convinced, if not by the politicians, then by the educators and the economists that such is the case. In the face of this, to protest each increase as an increase seems futile and un-realistic...
Certainly the College must expand and improve its facilities, and the expense of such a program will inevitably be paid for, at least partially, by the students. But the "gradual inflation" of the national economy seems noticeably small beside the rise of college costs. When one considers that there were only two tuition raises in the seven years from 1949 to 1956, and that during that same period the board and room rates remained extremely stable, the increases of the last three years have to be thought of as having very little to do directly with the fluctuations...
...fundamental requirements must follow a sequence of disarmament in Central Europe. Only when the Soviet Union is willing to agree to a relaxation of the Cold War in Europe can the German question be solved. To achieve any realistic result, therefore, the United States must work toward a disengagement gradual enough so that each side can take the immediate steps without feeling its security endangered. Limiting arms in Germany, setting a quota on ground forces and a prohibition on missile bases would prove fruitful as a first step in decreasing tension...
