VOLUME 5—NUMBER 29 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 27, 1954 Price $2.00 PER YEAR Seventh District Leaders Confer at Waynesboro Convention Fire Companies To ine answer to last W| ,-/^ question is: The coldest reco, >•/Dtem\ perature in the U. S. 7t * *ees . below zero, recorded in Ml|l«bta on February 9, 1954. Prior..,/this date the record cold was 66 degrees below zero, recorded in 1983 in Yellowstone National Park. O O O 0 A wonderful time was had by the Democrats in Waynesboro last Saturday at the Seventh District Convention, when Rep. Burr P. Harrison was renominated to represent this section of Virginia in Congress. In his acceptance speech, Rep. Harrison struck out against the “majority of Republicans” who voted against the President, voted against world trade and voted against the welfare of the American people. Rep. Harrison said that he would support President Eisenhower “in. all proposals which will further the peace, prosperity and welfare of our country.” He also said that he would “con sider a proposal to wage war in Indo-China as a deadly, dangerous and ill-advised adventure.” The nominee pointed out that - “American warehouses are bursting with food and fiber the farmer cannot sell and the hungry people of other lands cannot buy— “because of the stubborn refusal of a GOP Congress to act. He noted also that Republicans had reported out the Simpson ibill, which would further have restricted our foreign trade. This bill was defeated, Harrison recounted because 75 per cent of the Democrats of the House voted against it. The Congressman chided the Army-McCarthy hearings, saying that the “Democrats can never -hope to compete with the television programs you have been witnessing.” “We must admit,’’ he continued, “that in the history of the Demo-cratic party, from its foundation_ by Thomas Jefferson to this day, we have never produced anything that will remotely compare \v ith the McCarthy-Stevens show.” Saying that Ringling Brothers Circus /was leaving Washington, . the Congressman advised the convention to “turn your dials to see elephants leaping through hoops and clowns of unbelievable funniness.” Turning to “deficit spending in the United States Government, Rep. Harrison said that “again and again” the Republican candidates had promised to balance tne ieaerai ouaget. “Despite this solemn promise,” he asserted, “they had hardly taken over when they proposed to expand and perpetuate deficit spending.” Rep. Harrison also rapped Attorney General Brownell hs “that great victor in the school segregation case ...” Quoting President Eisenhower, the speaker said that in the fall of 19>52, the President “advocated a policy in which I was prepared to give him full support.” Rep. Harrison quoted the President as saying at this time that “We are dedicated .". . to ibetter education, without letting the federal government stick its long nose into local business.” . -“I didn't want to leave Ike on that,” he said, “Ike—and Earl Warren and Brownell—left me.” Elder James Bidler of Newark, Ohio will preach at Thornton Gap Church at 2:30, Friday afternoon. The public is invited. Rep. Burr P. Harrison, Winchester, who has represented the Seventh District in the House of Representatives since 1946, was given another vote of confidence in Waynesboro, Saturday when the Rappahannock delegation took pride in casting its 8 votes towards his re-nomination; and the entire District Democratic Convention chose Harrison to carry the party banner in the November election._ There was a large attendance from the 14 counties and five cities in the far-flung Seventh District. The Rappahannock citizens who_ attended included James W. Fletcher, E. M. Jones, A. C. Latham, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Latham, Eddie Hitt, Charlie Cloud, Eddie Gore, Ralph Rowzie_ and Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Bowie. -Standing ovations were given fn Rep, Harrison upon his renomination and later to U. S. Senators A. Willis Robertson, who was a member of the Rockbridge county delegation. Both will be on the Democratic ticket November 2 and both predicted there are many signs that the Democrats will have the majority in the two houses of the next Congress. James W. Fletcher, Seventh District Chairman, called the assembly to order and on a report of the committee on permanent organization, Fred Switzer, of Harjrisonburg, Virginia National Committeeman, was named permanent chairman of the convention. An address of welcome was given by Felix E. Edmunds of Waynesboro and a response made by Hon. Charles H. Davidson of Lexington. _ Several resolutions offered by State Senator Curry Carter of Staunton praised the records of U. S. Senators Byrd and Robertsan, and Rep. Harrison and lauded the state administration under ex-Gov. John Battle and Gove. Thomas B. Stanley. Rappahannock delegate Bruce S. Bowie, was a member of the committee on Permanent Organization,and in the balloting, cast the vote for the Rappahannock delegation. Mrs. Louise Howell, of Amherst, was the convention secretary^ with W. W. Smallwood of Berryville as sergeant-at-arms. C. M. Shannon, of Mt. Jackson, gave the report of the credentials committee while Harry Nash, of Waynesboro, reported the finding of the rules committee.

KArrAHANNOCK. NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County Virginia DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 BRUCE S. BOWIE.Publisher -Entered as second•clas& mail matter at the post office at Washington. Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance)_$2.00 a year What Other Editors Say— High Court's Revolutionary Decree (Staunton News-Leader) It may be banal to say that the opinion by the United States Supreme Court outlawing segregation in the public schools is revolutionary but revolutionary it is. This decision does violence to the mores of the people of a whole great section of the nation, and a people does not change a way of life without some upheaval and repercussions. It is to be hoped that they will all be restricted to the field of legal action and that the decision of the court will be taken calmly and sanely everywhere. The only surprising thing about the opinion was that it was unanimous. With the appointment of Governor Earl Warren of California as chief justice, a decision against segregation became probable, but that the entire court should join in a finding that is politically dictated though placed on humanitarian grounds, and one which has no true constitutional justification, was not to be expected. If the right of segregation belonged to the states under Supreme Court rulings which have stood against all assaults for 57 years, it is clear that only specious legalistic reasoning could now find something in the Constitution that wasn’t there before. To separate children solely because of race generates feelings in their hearts and minds W'hich might never be undone, declared the court. That is unquestionably true, but its truth does not give the justices the right to make law. It is not for the court to say that _segregation has no place in education. Nevertheless its decrees stand as law, and in this case cannot be upset except by a constitutional amendment. In view of the fact that the Negro race is largely concentrated in a minority of the states, there is no possibility of enacting an amendment on the subject. In leaving the matter open for further argument as to the time for implementing the decision and appointment of a special master to recommend specific terms for its decrees, or to see whether the instant cases should be sent back to lower federal courts to see that segregation practices are ended, the court has shown,wisdom. Time must be allowed for the terrific readjustments which must be made. That some states will try to circumvent the decree, as South Carolina and Georgia have 'already prepared to do, is inevitable. _ As for Virginia, her leaders have preferred to await the Supreme Court decision. They have it now, and they can no longer delay tackling the unprecedented problems which have been thrown into their lap. The first step would seem to be the appointment by Governor Stanley of a strong commission for the purpose of formulating plans for compliance in such a way as to avoid so far as possible the racial mongrelization which is the peril of school in, tegration from childhood.

Phone \ 9042.—edr. —r {Washington as viewed by YOUR SENATOR A. WILLIS ROBERTSON COURT DECISION MARKS BREAK WITH TRADITION When the Supreme Court announced its decision last week, holding that racial segregation in public schools is unconstitutional, it overruled and repudiated five former decisions of the same court, at least thirteen decisions of lower Federal courts and at least 59 decisions of State courts. And, as was forcefully pointed out in the brief filed with the Supreme Court last year by Attorney General Lindsay Almond of Virginia, this interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment is contrary to the understanding of the Congress which adopted the amendment and of the States when it was ratified. The Virginia brief, in preparation of which our Attorney General had the assistance of some of the State’s most distinguished constitutional lawvers, cited the record to show affirmative evidence that 23 States understood that the Fourteenth Amendment would NOT abolisFT segregated schools. In the case of the other fourteen states no evidence was found one way or the other, but there was no positive evidence that any of the 37 States which composed the Union when the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified understood that it would prohibit segregated schools. It 'ferns cletir, therefore, that the Court in this instance has thrown overboard the common law principle of “stare decisis”—which means standing by decisions of the past—and has substituted a psychological test for rules of law. I hit, in my opinion. means an invasion bv the Court of the legislative field and is regrettable not onlv because of the complications which this particular decision will cause in many of our State educational systems but also because it is another step along a path which already has been followed too far in recent years. The framers of the Federal Constitution not only provided for three separate and distinct branches of Govern merit—the Legislative, Executive, and the Judicial—hut sought to safeguard each branch from encroachment by the others and also drew a sharp line to prevent encroachment by the Federal Government on . the rights of the States and localities. Fear of such encroachment led Patrick Henry and other Virginians of his day to oppose ratification of the Constitution and favorable action was taken only after James Madison, who had played a leading part in framing the Constitution, promised to offer at the first session of the Congress the Bill of Rights Amendments which would furnish further safeguards for State and individual rights. One threat to the historic doctrine of separation of powers which we have seen in recent years has been a tendency of the Chief Lvecutive to impose will on the* Legislative Branch and to make Congress what has been termed “a rubber stamp." Another threat has been willingness of the Supreme Court tp usurp legislative functions and write new law under the guise of interpreting either the Constitution or some Act of Congress. One example of this was the decision which upheld the Wage— and Hour Law, and in so doing wiped out, to all intents and purposes, the previous distinctions between inter-state and intra-state, commerce. Under that ruling the Federal Government has asserted the right to jurisdiction over the wages paid an elevator operator in a building because some of the passengers he carries up and down may do business outside of the State. The anti-segregation decision is another move in the same direction, since it asserts the right of the Federal Government to go into a community and tell locally elected School Boards how they must assign pupils to the &hooI buildings constructed with local tax funds. If the Court felt it was its duty to thus invade the legislative field because the Attorney General of the United States, although the .. United States was not a party to the litigation, solemnly told the Court it was its duty to strike down the segregation laws, this raises the possibility that the court, rather than the Congress, may be made a "rubber-stamp" for a reform-minded executive. Letter To Editor HELP! HELP! According to Mr. Webster the word auxiliary is defined as a helper or anything that helps. When an auxiliary to a Fire Department is organized one would suppose its purpose is to help the department not vice versa. When the auxiliary falls into the hands of a dictator, who rules the President and tries to rule the participating members, and relies on the firemen for kitchen furnishings, or would rather buy unnecessary kitchen equipment than to help pay for a new fire engine; when their ultimate goal is to have a more elaborate hall and kitchen to show off and crow about than to have essential fire fighting equipment they have defeated their purpose and it’s time to haul in the flag for it’s flying under false colors. Sure we want the best . . . the best necessary fire equipment possible for the protection of our community. Let’s not destroy the good which could come from an auxiliary or defeat ourselves by putting pomp and pageantry foremost in our minds. Come on girls lets get back in harness and pull together. Makes no difference if your girdle is a two way stretch; if you stretch it far enough it’s bound to split. —Interested Amissville Bystander Letter To The Editor As one of the “older residents” of Amissville I should like to take this opportunity to thank the “newcomers,” or outlanders as we dull witless hillbillies call them, for solidly establishing, organizing, and bearing the burden of our major community project. It’s the first organization I ever heard of that took only a couple of “blowhards” to establish and manage. I think it’s time they quit pat* ting themselves on the back and sat down, or their “hardearned” laurels might slide out of their; laps. .... Then on the other hand it is sometimes wiser to get out than be kicked out. —’Signed — One of the Old School wasmngton News Notes Among those from Washington who attended the Sunday evening garden party at “Apple Tree Cottage,” the home of Mr. and Mrs. S.

Knapp, who started the “demonIw stration method of teaching improved farming practices, stated: •“The object of all such demontstrations is to test or prove some ^Important fact bearing upon agriIcultural conditions. If these demonstrations are conducted in liuch a way that few persons see Jthe result, or learn about them, little is accomplished.” Just recently several demonstrations* (method and result) were conducted. I hope the small attendance at these demonstrations was due to this being the planting-har vesting-spraying season and not an indication of a “don’t care attitude.” If the latter many of you Rappahannock farmers have had me fooled for eight years. Because of the nature of the problems several of these demonstrations had to be conducted at the busy season and therefore if you couldn’t get to any or but one may I suggest you contact one of the men on whose farm the demonstration — was conducted; learn how it was done, find out just where and then WATCH the results. On May 19th, a demonstration on thinning Golden Delicious apples using Napthalene Acidic Acid at 25 parts per million was conducted at the Gene Wood orchard. Trees sprayed are in rows nearest to Thornton River and are marked. . . with white paint higher up the trucks than the “check trees” which are also mark FOR YOUR GRADUATE Give A Watch of Lasting Quality Make Your Choice From Our Wide Selection Of NAME BRAND WATCHES Hamilton — Elgin — Longines — Bulova Other Watches Priced From $16.50 (tax incl.) and Established 1891 Phone 9 WARRENTON DON’T WAIT If you are in the market for a GOOD USED CAR or a NEW BUICK . . . just come in and see us and save salesman’s commission.

Mr. Barksdale said that using the excess wheat acreage as green manure crop, for pasture, hay, or silage will eliminate marketing quota penalties and prevent loss of wheat price support for farmers who have 1954 wheat allotments. To be eligible for price support a farmer may not exceed his allotment. To avoid marketing penalty, the farm wheat acreage may not exceed the larger of the farm allotment or 15 acres. Any excess wheat which has not been untilized in any one of these ways after June 1, will be considered excess wheat whether or not it is harvested and marketing quota penalty in the amount of $1.12 per bushel must be paid to the county ASC office, the chairman explained. 1 § $ I § £ SAVE 20% ON 1954 ELGIN WATCHES AtC.
