Thf Jessies Get a New President
There ought to be aoret teuon to be
learned frtun a recent atmouncement from
Deaton Seems as though eur staters will
have aa their new president a graduate of
the Uaiverhity of ’ftxaa. Dr John A.
'OuiMi 44 a combat veteran and Teaas
born educator will assume the presidency
of TSCW in September when Dr. L. M
Hubbard retires.
The new president's name was an
nounced after the graduation exercises
> Monday He was chosen from 67 con
tenders. including several women. Hold
ing three degrees from the University. Dr.
Guinn has served in several Texas schools,
including Schreiner Institute. Alict publr
schools, and the San Angelo Junior Col
lege which he now heads as president
la his application for the position of
prealdaney of TSCW, Dr. (kdnn anpreaned
this belief "One of the meat compelling
of all reapoamibilitiee that must be accep
ted by American college* and universities
it that of developmf among their students
a ttaasionate loyalty to. an intelligent un
derstanding of. and an indestructible faith
in the ideala of American democracy ”
With his past record as an educator
and a veteran, guided by such a creed,
Dr Guinn enters upon his newest job well
qualified and a fitting successor to Dr.
Hubbard, a man many of us have met,
known and respected
We hope the new president likes Tes-
Nielaad as well as are do.
Tho Gmernor Ref lefts Texa*' Feelinj; . ..
Governor Allan Shiver* undoubtedly
expressed the feelings of a vast majority
of Texans with his declaration to fight to
the last ditch the U R. Supreme Court’s
decision givmg ownership of the tidelands
to the federal government. While the
state rocked on its heels from the decision,
public opinion was expressed in both Aus
tin and Washington as Texans gathered
their guns about them to fight the ruling
of the highest court
Attorney iieneral Price Daniel, who
has argued the state's claim* for many
months, plans to file a m<tion for rehear
ing at (mce. If that fails the governor has
promised to throw the weight of his office
into the battle which will in all probability
finally be resolved Vi Congress
The powerful Texas delegation in
Washington is ready, too. to argue the
Supreme Court’s decision, Senator* Con-
nally and Johnson are prepared to do their
part in the senate while the tmwerful Tex
as group in the House is mustering it* for
ce* m the event of a legislative showdown
The court * decision was not unexpect
ed, but this did not softea the blow which
its announcement constituted The fact
that the decision was by a 4 2 vote is an
indication of the disagreement which ex
ulted amat»g the justices on the court.
Justice Frankfurter who was not record
ed aa voting, has written a separate opin
ion questioning the court’a judgment Two
other judges. Reed and Minton, also failed
to agree with the court s decision and their
votes were the onss registered in protest.
TTns action by the Supreme Court is
just another step in the gradual destruc
tion by the federal government of the
nghtjs of the states No measure is too
big h seems, because with every increase
in the amount of |»ower which Washington
assumes, there is a geometric increase in
the sanount of power it desires Now the
people are waking up. Even Texas, which
has helf»ed keep the present administra
tion in offtca, is beginning to see that bhnd
loyalty does not pay off.
If this were question of the good of
the nation aa opfKwsd to good of the state
we would, of course support the Supreme
CbfcA'a ruling. Rut the decision giving
the tide lands to the federal government
is n<$t tied up in any reasonable measure
with;the national good Instead it is just
another move to subjugate the states ig-
noritg in the process the lawful claims
which we have to those lands
This fight for the tsleUnd* may not
hr it the showdown in the state* rights
fights but that showdown will f(*me and
the tidelmnds case is moving u* a lot closer
to it, ,
The Firm Hand of MaiArthur . . .
A draatie step whs taken Tuesday in
Japan. General l>ouglaa MacArthur or
dered the Jaiwnese government to ban
from publk life the 24-man central Com
mittee of the Japanese Communist Party, *
including seven member* of parliament
The order, which followed closely a gov
ernment ban on demonatrations by com-
munista in the Tokyo area, will have the
effect of blocking legal outlets for the
Commhniat Party s activities The present
Ja|*anese government, which, is hardly in
a position to do otherwise, announced it
would carry out MacArthur s order imme
diately and enthusiastically
The next step will undoubtedly, he
complete outlawing of the Communist
Party in the island country
It is difficult to know whether Mac-
Arthur’s order wdl be g(»od <*r bad for
Japan. It will serve to drive communist
activity underground and force legal ac
tion* into rliannels previously reserved for
illegal acts. However, since the aims of
both legal and illegal activities of the com
munists are the same the effect should not
be too noticeable The main question is
whether or not it is advisable to outlaw
any political party in a democracy The
quswtion cannot be answered cm a general
basis but rather might be answered *f
firmatively in one case and negatively in
another.
In the case of Japan Mac Arthur's ac
tion was probably justified. An cKrujia
lion commander must at times deal with,
disturbing elements with a firm hand
When thess disturbing elements threaten
to overthrow the legally constituted gov
ernment by fore# then drastic steps must
be taken Buch were the step* taken by
MacArthur and hudory will probably
prove that he was correct.
