them is that the administration

Hussein holds the shaky throne of
Jordan, to the southwest. If a
Saudi Arabian, Egyptian and Pal-
estinian-Arab intrigue should over-
throw young Faisal, Iraq would
lose her steadying influence in
Jordan and probably in Syria too
and might be forced into a com-
promise with the Egyptian-Saudi-
Syrian bloc which is hellbent for
subverting the Baghdad Pact.
It seems likely Nuri would like
nothing better than a reasonable
settlement of the Israeli question
to remove the imminent threat of
war. Publicly he cannot say he will
tolerate the continued existence of
Israel.
Like the fellah in Egypt, the
barefoot Iraqi peasant has been
unchanged over the centuries. He
lives in the same mud but with his
cow, chickens or goat. Like
Egypt’s fellah, the average Iraqi
is ridden by a variety of diseases.
Like his Egyptian cousin he knows
little of international politics. But
he hears Cairo radio in the coffee
houses or friends' huts and hears
about Israel and the wounds, real
or imagined, of the Arab world.

that the first legislature of the

ignored.
However, it is perhaps significant that in this elec-
tion year only one senator and five of the 22 repre-
sentatives from Texas signed. This would indicate
that Texeas representatives in Washington are con-
vinced that their constituents back home are not ex-
cited over the issue of states rights in general, even
-though--the President's veto of the Harris gas bill was
a shock to Texas’ huge oil and gas industry.
The manifesto assails “This unwarranted exercise
of power by the court, contrary to the Constitution."
There is no gainsaying the vigor of its attack.
However, the weakness of the declaration lies in its
failure to spell out specific courses of action.
The congressmen “pledge ourselves to use all law-
ful means to bring about a reversal of this decision
which is contrary to the Constitution and to pre-
vent the use of force in its implementation."
Implicit in the manifesto is the threat of action with-
in the Democratic party more than within Congress.
In fact. Southern senators are talking of a walkout
at Chicago and a third-party move if candidates and
platform are not acceptable to the South.
On the surface it appears that once again Southern
statesmen have embraced a lost cause.
On the . same-day the manifesto was presented to
Congress, the Supreme Court declared that state uni-
versities may not delay admission of Negro students

Fifteen minutes is the ordinary time in the barber chair
but we shall assume that the hour shall be split into three hair
cuts. This will be 88.78 per hour for each barber and if he works
eight hours a day he will knock off $30 a day. At 830 a day for
five days in the week, assuming that he does not work on Satur-
day. is 8150 a week; resulting in a monthly intake per barber
of 8800. So we have one barber bringing in each year for the
barbershop $7,200, which ia, of course, quite a deal.
Overhead? t
We shall assume a barbershop has overhead. we all have
overhead. Split the 87.200 in half to allow for overhead and you
have still remaining a wage better than most of us get.
What'special training or what special merits have qualified
the barber to get such outrageous prices?
At random let us check on salaries of teachers in this state.
To be a teacher one must be well qualified and well trained in
a good college.
Dallas for a BA degree pays a minimum salary of 83.400 and
a maximum of 85,100.
Dallas for a MA degree pays a minimum salary of $3,600 and
a maximum of 55.400

make this money”
It is true of course that barbers do not work all the time in
some barber shops Did you ever go into a barber shop and not
have to stand in line to get a haircut? .
If something is not done now to halt this constant jerking
upward of the price of haircuts by such steps we will be paying
the barber more than the doctor gets for a minor operation. It
appears that the barber cannot think in terms of under 25 cents.
First haircuts cost about 25 cento, then 50 cento, then 75 cento
and after that for a while we paid a dollar. Now it is 25 cento
and the dollar also. —— .....
We yell when coffee goes up a nickel, we yell when auto
