Credit Where It’s Due
History was made Saturday in Kyle Field.
For the first time in 62 years, since the field was built,
a Negro played there.
The crowd, the team and everyone connected with the
game is to be complimented.
There seemed to be no malice on the part of the A&M
team and quite noticeably, there was no show of prejudice or
intolerance from the stands.
Because of this, A&M will rise a little higher in the
minds of many.
One has only to think a little to recall the other many
.instances of narrow-mindedness occurring on other campuses
» across the country.
The Sugar Bowl has barred Negroes from playing there.
And there are many cases of public schools and colleges can
celling games because the opposing team had Negro players.
A&M for many years has made headlines for the un
savory actions done here but Saturday’s actions will go a
long way toward showing the people of Texas the progress
we are making.

Cool Pitch
RALEIGH, N. C. CP>_The North
Carolina Medical Society, nothing
if not “cool”, enlisted the aid of
radio disc jockeys in a campaign to
get teen-agers to “dig out” for
some of that “crazy” polio vac
cine. The society’s suggested pitch:
“Walk with Salk, so you can rock
‘n’ roll.”

WASHINGTON — <7P> — Rep.
Wier, D-Minn., said yesterday the
counsel for a House investigation
of Washington’s school integration
problems has given a “disgraceful
performance” and should be sus
pended.
The target of Wier’s criticism
was William Gerber, counsel for a
special House subcommittee now
holding its second week of public
hearings.
Wier outlined his complaint
against Gerber in a telgram from
Minneapolis to the House District
of Columbia Committee, the sub
committee’s parent body.
He said Gerber’s “sole object
seems to be to prove that integra
tion has not worked and ... to
prevent it from working in the
future.”
Washington schools were inte
grated in the fall of 1954.
Wier, a member of the full com
mittee but not of the subcommit
tee, said Gerber should be sus
pended pending a “review” of his
role in the healings.
Davis told newsmen the hear
ings would “of <purse” continue
with Gerber as counsel. He said
he felt Wier “has been grossly mis
informed.”
