Although Supreme Court rulings, i.e., the ban on bus segregation in Montgomery, Ala., have made "every segregation act or law of any state as dead as a doornail," declared U.S. District Judge Dozier DeVane in Tallahassee, Fla. last week, "every state has a right to litigate these matters...
Unreasonable Ban. Bill Worthy is a hard-working foreign correspondent who covered Korea, the Bandung Conference, and other major events on assignment from Afro-American, which pays part of his expenses and allows him to sell stories to other publications.

Disaffection among high army officers has plagued Aramburu ever since he came to power a year ago. Most ominously, a segment of ultranationalistic top officers, scoffing at Aramburu's ban on military candidacies, has been cheering on a dissident, unassigned general named LeÓn Bengoa as a prospect for presidential elections late next year. The mass firings gave this group a brief surge of hope: Bengoa and some cronies quickly tried to touch off an army uprising...
