...North. School boards which have agreed, without protest, to abide by the recent ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court and Negro children to formerly white schools do not represent the attitude of the Deep South. For the most part, such school boards have been located in regions where racial inequality was never a problem. Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Louisiana, as well as many other regions within border states, will certainly continue to maintain some system of segregation so long as they are able to evade the court's ruling...
However wrong, or right, these men may be, the present effect of the court ruling in the Deep South is nil-save for the mental gymnastic it has caused politicians charged by their white fellow Southerners with preventing racial mingling. Negro children are still attending their same old schools; too aften housed in shamefully shabby buildings. The Southern white school kids, and most college students, are back in their all-white institutions again this fall. The same studied ignorance of the historic decision is being practiced on almost every level of racial contact. There are, of course, exceptions, but these...
...races would bring tragic results. Even now, a Kian-like organization is again stirring in Mississippi, where the Klan has been mercifully buried for years. Elsewhere throughout the Deep South there are being awakened old hatreds and fearful distrust. These Southern who, in the South, work for racial understanding cannot be blamed for recalling the days or Klan terror when their Northern critics demand an immediate change. The same enlightened Southerners point with justifiable pride to the immense and recent progress made in Negro education and social improvement. They fear that the great strides which have been made toward...
...believe that the U.S. should welcome improved relations between Japan and Red China as a means of reducing his country's "anti-American feeling." Hatoyama was talking more and more last week like a man who found it profitable to belabor the U.S. "Despotic diplomacy . . . loss of racial independence" were among the phrases Hatoyama used to describe "the long occupation." The pleased Russians let it be known that Hatoyama's drift to the left is entirely conducive to "restoring normal relations...
They are perhaps meant to seem agelessly racial. Noah may be hooted at when he first reveals God's warning of the Flood; but he is to be feared and obeyed, and can force a reluctant Japheth-who resents God's cruelty in letting other men drown-into the Ark. Odets tells, too, of family weaknesses: a Noah who drinks, a Ham who wenches, a Shem who loves money, and of a cooped-up family's bickerings. But these people also have their loyalties and affections, and out of the Flood a despotic Noah learns humility...
