...Some of the best news coming from the U.S. is of the dignified battle being fought by the Rev. Martin Luther King and his flock in Montgomery, Ala. Congratulations! How one must admire the dignity of our colored fellow citizens. How that dignity contrasts with the attitude of the rabble-rousing race haters. The Rev. Mr. King and his people know they are on the winning side, on the side of the future. The others show all the nervousness and pettiness of people who know they are fighting a losing battle. (THE RT. REV.) LEO A. RUDLOFF, O.S.B. Abbot Dormition...
...much to win a major battle for his people before the Supreme Court, and on Mississippi's Senator James O. Eastland (March 26), whose tradition and training have set him against integration every step of the way. This week, in writing of Montgomery's Rev.

But at a Washington dinner given by the Citizens' Committee for the Hoover Report came a candid, grandfatherly rumble from a man whose very name has been used by Democrats for years to frighten Prosperity's babies. Warned ex-President Herbert Hoover: "Secretary Humphrey says that unless we change some of our ways, we will see 'a depression that will curl your hair.' Mine has already been...
...counsel on how to gain the desegregation that the U.S. Supreme Court has guaranteed them. The man whose word they seek is not a judge, or a lawyer, or a political strategist or a flaming orator. He is a scholarly, 28-year-old Negro Baptist minister, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., who in little more than a year has risen from nowhere to become one of the nation's remarkable leaders...
