...If seems that the excellent hygienic

that cnildren are much happier in the

are the results of such aD education? In
modern civilization, the individual is
characterized chiefly by a fairly great
activity, entirely directed toward the
practical side of life, by much ignorance,
by a certain shrewdness, and by a kind of
mental weakness which leaves him under
the influence of the environment wherein
he happens to be placed. It appears that
intelligence itself gives way whencharac

Johnson Continues
To Astound Senate
Lyndon Johnson continues to as¬
tound long-time Senate observers
with, his shrewd maneuvering for
compromise on the civil rights is¬
sue that has so divided the North
and South. If he can get the Senate
to adopt his mild civil rights pro¬
gram instead of a tougher one the
liberals want, it will be another ma¬
jor accomplishment for the majori¬
ty leader.
Neither the Southerners nor
Northern extremists, like Sens.
Javits (R-NY) or Douglas D-Ill),
will be happy with the Johnson
package plan. But its adoption
wru.ld would h* be mnrti much more rw-rWaHi* acceptable to to
the Dixie forces than the liberals’
harsh proposals to force racial in
tergation on the South.
Johnson’s four-point program in¬
cludes one fresh, new approach—
that is the establishment of a fed¬
eral conciliation agency to help set¬
tle racial disputes. The conciliator
would not be empowered to settle
disputes himself, but would merely
bring warring factions together to
settle the rows themselves.
As in labor djsputes, this recog¬
nizes the principle that reason— not
force—must be brought to bear to
compromise racial differences.
If Johnson can pull off this com¬
promise, as he did in the Senate
rules change fight earlier in the
session, he may be helped along
by an obscure but possibly signifi¬
cant pattern of voting in the Senate.
This voting pattern is revealed
by a study of the key roll call on
which senators from the small and
medium-sized states teamed up to
defeat big-city liberals, 67 to 28, on
their attempt to impose a harsh
gag rule on Senate debate.
Johnson and the Southerners
warned their colleagues from a
cross the nation in te filibuster
fight that Imposition of a majorty
gag rule on debate could leave
small states at the mercy of the
fcg states in the Senate in tax legis¬
lation and other fields.
As a result of this argument, the
only senators, with a few excep¬
tions, who voted for the gag rule
were from the densely populated or
big-city states of New York, Cali¬
fornia, Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Michigan, New Jersey, Massachu¬
setts, Maryland, Connecticut, Mis¬
souri, Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Rhode Island.
These states contain most of the
nation’s largest cities—New York,
Chicago, Los Angeles, Detroit, Phil¬
adelphia, Pittsburgh, Brston, San
Francisco, St. Louis, Baltimore,
Buffalo, Rochester, Milwaukee,
Minneapolis, St. Paul, Providence,
Newark and Jersey City.
True, the liberals got some sup¬
port from Oregon, Washington, Col¬
orado, Utah, Maine and Vermont.
And the Southerners got help from
the big-city state of Ohio, But the
battle lines were drawn mostly be¬
tween the big states and the small
ones.
Johnson may not be able to swing
as much support for his civil rights
compromise as he did for his com¬
promise to preserve free debate in
the Senate. But a continuation of
the voting pattern of small states
versus the big ones eould serve the
Southern cause well.—By Albert
Riley in Atlanta Constitution.

Sidewalk
Reapir Is
City’s Job
By the Atlanta Bar Association!
and the Lawyers Club of Atlanta
Peter Pedestrian was walking
along a sidewalk on his way home
after a hard day at the office. His
pleasant thoughts of wife and home
were rudely interrupted when he
triped and stumbled over a hole
in the sidewalk.
Pedestrian sustained severe In¬
juries and sued both the city and
Large Landowner, who owned the
property adjacent to the sidewalk,
where Pedestrian fell.
The court dismissed Pedestrian’s
suit against Landowner but upheld
his suit against the city, sayng that
the city is under a duty to maintain
the public streets and sidewalks in
such a condition that it is reason¬
ably safe to travel on them. The
only duty which Landowner has is
to refrain from placing anything on
the sidewalk which would impede
travel.
