Controls Resected
Periodically, people who should know better argue, that
the way to stop inflation and solve the problem of rising prices
is to reimpose tough government controls, similar to Those of
World War II.
That argument should be laid to rest for all time by one
section of the Interim Report of the Cabinet Committee on Price
Stability for Economic Growth, of which Vice President Nixon
trol of prices and wages as a method of controlling inflation.
Such controls would not only fail completely to achieve any
good, but do more harm than, any amount of inflation that we
have ever experienced or are likely to experience in peacetime . . ."
The report goes on to say, in substance, that a result of
price regulations has always been waste, inefficiency and a
slowing down of progress, and that the loss of freedom that
would follow controls, the rationing of goods, and the regulating 
of jobs would "ultimately prove even more disastrous than
the loss of living standards."
We have a recent historical precedent in this matter—the
continuance of controls for a protracted period after World War
II ended. Everyone who was on adult then will remember the
shortages, the black markets, the evasions of law, and the dislocations
of the working of our economy.
Finally, controls would attempt to deal entirely with symptoms
of inflation, while doing nothing about the causes of the
disease itself. That would be comparable to a doctor confining
his treatment of patient burning with fever to cold packs.

Mrs. Rosa Ingram Freed
After paying the, pawn that fate levied against her, Mrs.
Rosa Ingram, the Schley county widow, who, with her sons
has been doing time in the stole prison for the alleged murder
of a white farmer neighbor, has been paroled. The relog of
the unfortunate affair which brought about the whole drama
would not serve our purpose just now; the trial and the ravings 
of the county solicitor, who made the most of the unfortunateaffair 
would neither be of moment.
Mrs. Ingram's case attracted world-wide attention. Many
moves on the part of many well thinking people have been
instituted for her release. The most dramatic enactment in the
realm of human pleas and spiritual devotion was upon that
Easter Eve when a nationwide appeal was made for her release.
The prayers from the steps of Georgia's Capitol still ascend
the elements.
Public spirited sympathizers purchased a home in Americus
for the Ingrams. The State Board of Pardons and Paroles
has been constantly memorialized in behalf of the Ingrams.
But its recent action, even at this time-eleven years after their
convictions — is appreciated.
Now, that Mrs. Ingram is free; the congratulations of all
lovers of justice go out to her. May the Lord bless her and open
new ways for her time and talents, that she may go on in the
rebuilding of what she has seen throught the sprit as a new
era of usefulness.
Again, Mrs. Ingram, God bless thee and thy sons.

Heal Wave Bears Down On Flowers And
Shrubbery
The Intense heat wave through which we are passing
bears down heavily on the flowers and shrubbery. On every
hand may be seen these withering creatures drooping along
the way. The old fields also tell a story of this record dry
weather, with the early mornings registering above 80 and
the noonday around 96.
These are indeed record days for this lime of the year
and the signs point to a long dry spell.
Housewives are becoming concerned over the welfare of
their gardens and shrubbery. With no sign of rain in sight.
they resort to the watering method of saving the flowers till
the moisty season takes over.
There will of course be special care in watering the gardens
and flowers so that there will be no serious shortage in
the water supply.
It is expected therefore that those who turn to such artificial 
methods of refreshing their plants, will exercise duo caution 
as not to use such excess of water as to interfere with the
necessary domestic water supply.

Divide And Conquer
Almost ever since the rough Stone Age, the ruling classes
of every community hos toyed with the idea of dividing the
opposition, then destroying them. America has been most successful 
in playing that ancient game of "Dividing and Conquering," 
because the ruling classes of America has played the game
most successful with America's largest minority group, the Negro.
Information comes to our office that Negroes were gullible
enough in Memphis, Tennessee, during this recent municipal
election and fell for the bait in allowing themselves to be divided
and the results are self-explanatory.
Negroes had their names registered on the registration
book, enough of them to swing the election either way they
chose to go in Shelby County for the recent municipal election
But, either they fell victim to the ancient old scheme in allowing
themselves to be divided or they refused to vote and the
sum total is the same.
Minorities can never afford to divide; when they divide
they lose their effectiveness. If Negroes in Shelby County he
voted one way, together, and all of them voted, the results of
the city election would have been different. To divide the minorities
in any given community means suicide for them. There's
one rule in baseball that never has changed, that is: "When
you get your foot off of the base and they put the ball on you,
you are out." That is also true as it relates to minorities, allowing
the controlling element of the community to divide, when
that is done, you are out. And according to our information
the minority group in Memphis fell to the ancient trap of allowing
themselves to divide in the recent municipal election.
When a minority group in a city allow themselves to
divide, they are sure lo be destroyed. For illustration, you can
smite a person on the face with one finger with all the strength
you possess and he will smile at you, but if you Organize those
fingers into a fist, and give him one of those typical Joe Louis
strokes, the difference will be obvious.
So, we are saying to Negroes, the minority group, "to put
all of your eggs in one basket" and you will get a better deal

for yourself.
Let us hope that the results of the recent municipal election
in Memphis, Tennessee will serve to wake Negroes up to the
point where they must vote and vote together if they are to
servive in a time like this.

Ayres' Low Vote
Good For City
To The Editor:
There is something. I believe
which has not been brought out
concerning the results of the Aug.
20 election mid which is very significant. 

I have referee to the total of
3,213 votes polled in the mayor's
race by Willis E. Ayres Jr. head
of the local White Citizens Council 
and this city's most vocal segregationist 
There were more than
90,000 white votes cast out of a
total of 1,30,000 and I think it is
a good trend that so few of them
tell for the race-baiting line cast
by the Ayres hunch.
This is a good thing for Memphis. 
The time appears to be over
when a politician can come out
yelling for me. Lilly-white and if
you vote for me. I'll see to it that
we continue segregation at any
cost. The people have heroine intelligent 
enough now not to always 
fall for this bunk
There was also the case of Mr.
Stanley Dillard whom we with
the help of white friends, kicked
out as commissioner of finances and
institutions. Mr. Dillard had also
crime out under the segregationists'
banner louder than any of his opponents. 

But I think that the downfall of
Willis E. Ayres is more symbolic of
achievement in this city than the
downfall of Stanley Dillard Ayres
didn't get but 3,000 votes. If didn't
but 3,000 people in this city vote
for him, this is a minority which
really has no voice and which the
Negro needn't worry about.

Letter To Teachers
Several Memphis Negro teachers
received a letter from a defeated
candidate who ran for a position on
the school board which recommended 
among other things, that
Negroes who advocate integration
of the public school system be
hanged en masse in Handy Park
by "thinking Negroes" of this city.
Dr. M. D. Holmes, white candidate 
who campaigned in a white
hat white shirt white suit, white
wrist watch band, white socks, and
white shoes, and who drove a white
car, reportedly sent the letter to
several hundred Negro and white
school teachers.
Dr. Holmes said in the letter
that the firmly believes" that any
integration of public schools in
Memphis "would bring about a
complete collapse of the school
system within a very short time."
"These proponents of integration
know perfectly well that it will not
be accepted and this is the reason
for their fostering its inaugration." 
Dr. Holmes told the teachers.
"The thinking Negroes should
themselves, take these individuals
out and hang them by their toesat 
high noon, in the middle of
Handy Park for their fostering such
a doctrine that would only bring
untold unhappiness to their own
people."
Dr. Holmes charged in the letter
that the present board is "politically
dominated." He said all of the
difficulties encountered by the
board "are a a result of this political 
domination."
Holmes also said the school board
will be broke in April and "might
have to be closed in mid-April
(169) unless adequate funds are
produced for their operation."
Holmes said that "laws must be
enanted at the next session of the
legislation to permit the election
of the president of the board, who
is presently appointed, and the immediate 
end to unfair division of
school funds between the city and
the country."
Holmes also called for giving
principles of schools more responsebility 
in their positions "instead of
same department down at the board
of education building."
He scored the present administrative 
schedule for the classroom
teacher as "ridiculous."
"Teachers spend more waking
hours time with our children than
we parents do," he said.
Holmes criticized teachers salaries 
in this city. "If your (teacher's)
work is not worth as much after
the time and money spent gaining
a degree to start working than the
work performed, as common labor
by unskilled persons then there is
something wrong," he said.
"The pacifism of the dedicated
individuals and the administration
to allow remuneration to continually 
drop in our city to whereby
their own admission, a system in a
city of one-half million population
is operating on a pay scale compacable 
to a city of 25,000 population." 
Holmes said.
On his sward against integration,
Holmes said he has "no animosity
toward the Negro race."
"I only hold contempt for any
organization that will use the deep
emotional patterns of our Negroes
by promising them the moon withour 
any of the responsibilities, in
order to being about disruption and
disd within our system of goverment."

Implementing

race, religion or national origin,
although about 85 percent of these
complaints were filed by Negro Americans. 
In 13 percent of all
cases, some form of corrective action 
was found to be warranted. In
addition, the Report also notes
that because of procedures established 
a majority of cases based
on a claim of discrimination is resolved 
within the agencies without 
resorting to a review by the
Committee.
In reviewing the past eighteen
months of the non-discrimination
program, the Committee noted particularly 
the initiative of several
of the departments and agencies
in developing new techniques and
me hods which have served to
clarify and strengthen the policy.
The Report concluded that the use
of educational and training techniques 
by Federal agencies was
opening up a new and still unexplored 
area in mating the policy
more effective.
In addition to Chairman Carey
and Vice - Chairman. Branch Rickey, 
members of the Presidents
Committee are: the Honorable
Charles C. Finucane, Assistant Secretary 
of Defense; Charles H. Kendall,

Fairfax Board

quire Fairfax County to file a desegregation 
plan within 10 days if
it sought a delay in admitting the
colored pupils.
The Fairfax School Board has
a "secret plan, which has drawn
heavy criticism for its "premature
adoption." Some members of the
Board of Supervisors made the
criticisms after announcement of
the plan was made.
The school board and its supporters 
countered that in view of
the impending suit it was wiser to
prepare a plan now than to wait
for court-ordered desegregation.
But the Supervision Wednesday,
by a 4-to-2 vote, adopted a handsoff 
policy on the desegregation issue 
and expressed confidence that
the school officials would "exercise 
sound judgment in the performance 
of their duties."

NUT BT GUNS ALONE

YOU WERE going to tell me
why Jim Ned Wheeler, went
up the Escabrosa Canyon trail,"
Slade Considine prodded Martha
Kilgore's memory.
The girl hesitated a moment
before speaking "Jim Ned told
me Wynn has claimed for years
that he hasn't used the Valle
Medio. But the trail up there is
good and there are lots of fresh
tracks on it. About a mile up
above where this trail takes off,
Jim Ned found a branding iron."
"A T Anchor iron?" Slade
asked.
Martha nodded. She saw the
same grim look come into his
face that had been on Jim Ned's.
"Jim Ned sent me back. He
pretended he was going up there
to look for some of Granny's
bulls. I knew he wasn't I didn't
want to come back, but I'm not
a very good rider and I was
afraid I would be in his way.
Then after I got here I heard a
shot back that way. I thought
then perhaps he had found one
of the bulls. Granny told him to
shoot any he thought he couldn't
drive home."
"I think I'd better mosey up
that way and see what's going
on." Slade said a bit too casually.
Martha wasn't fooled. When he
started up the hill toward his
horse, she ran down to the bay,
gathered the reins and swung
into the saddle. This time she
wasn't going to be left out.
Slade headed her off as she
started up the trail. "Martha, this
is no place for you. Go on back!"
She shook her head stubbornly.
"I won't be in the way," she
promised. "Besides—I don't know
the way home."
"Give your horse his head. He'll
take you home."
She shook her head stubbornly
and set her chin in a way that
was faintly reminiscent of her
grandmother. "We're wasting
time."
Slade gave up the argument
because he couldn't see that there
was anything else he could do.
He eyed the bay. "That horse can
keep up. If he starts lagging, use
your spurs. I'm going to ride
fast."
The girl nodded, catching something 
of his spirit of grim haste.
slade smiled at her briefly,
swung his sorrel about and
up the trail.
He had expected to have to
ride far up Escabrosa Creek, perhaps 
even to the Valle Medio,
but not much more than half a
mile beyond the first deep bend
in the trail they found Jim Ned's
body. He was lying on his back,
his arms and legs spread eagled
in four directions. His horse was
nowhere in sight.
Martha counting a dozen feet
behind, did not see him until
Slade had swung down from his
saddle. Then with a little cry of
horror she jumped off her horse.
Slade nodded to the anguished
question in her eyes. "He's dead.
Martha."
His fingers went gently over
the limp body. Both legs seemed
to be broken and one wrist, and
there was a queer, concave spot
on his left side over his heart
that indicated a number of broken 
ribs. His clothes were covered
with dirt, and his face was a
mangled mass of blood and
grime.
The back of Jim Ned's shirt
was torn to ribbons, and his back
a welter of deep cuts and bruises,
but although he felt him over
carefully, Slade could find no
sign of any deeper wound.
Up on the trail a dozen yards
a sixgun gleamed in the sun.
Slade picked it up and broke it
open. There was an empty, shell
in the cylinder.
Martha watched him, her eyes
asking the questions she didn't
seem able to find voice for.
"Looks like his horse may have
spooked at something and thrown
him." Slade came back and stood
over the body. He pointed to the
right boot, the only part of the
clothing on the entire body that
was clean of dirt and cuts. Across
the ankle was a wide rubbed
spot, but the grain of the leather
hadn't been broken. "His boot
must have hung in the stirrup,
and the horse dragged him to
death. You can see where something 
has been dragged along the
trail."
"He—he wasn't shot?"
Slade shook his head. "There
is no gun wound on him. And
there has been a bullet fired from
his own gun. That is probably
the one you heard."
He was watching her face
closely to see if any look of doubt
crossed her face. When it didn't,
he went on gravely:
"Martha, I'm going to put him
on my horse. Then, if you won't
be afraid, I would like you to
take him home. I want to scout
around here afoot for awhile and
see if I can find what happened
to Jim Ned's horse to be sure he
isn't in trouble. Then if I don't
find him I will go on down to
Frenchy's, get a horse and ride
in, and report to the sheriff."
Martha was still too dazed by
her first encounter with sudden
and violent Heath to offer him
the opposition he had been dreading. 

"I'll do whatever you say,
Slade. But you will come out to
the house and talk to Granny
tonight, won't you?, I think she'll
want to see you."
The cowboy mated. "All
right If I can mane it."
Late afternoon sunlight slanted
through the wide windows of the
living room in the big old Walking
pery flame Beulah Denhart's
head, and even brought s youthful 
glisten to Rachel Kilgore's
grey-sprinkled black hair, as both
women bent over the chess board
between them.
So intent were they that they
failed to see Martha stop at the
hitch rack, Only when she opened
the door and stepped inside did
they raise their beads.
Beulah smiled at her. "Hello,
Martha, I'll bet you didn't expect
me to take up your invitation so
quick, did you?"
Martha's answering smile was
mechanical. "I'm glad you're
here, Beulah." She crossed the
room to her grandmother's aide,
and dropped a hand on her shoulder. 
"Granny. I've got some bad
news for you."
The old lady's ivory cheeks
turned a shade paler. "Straight
from the shoulder." she said
quietly. "Where is Jim Ned?"
"There was an accident," Martha 
said slowly. "Jim Ned is
dead."
Rachel Kilgore looked all at
once tiny and old and tired. She
stood up. "Where is he?"
"Outside. Is Hud here—or Julio
—to help us bring him in?"
Rachel shook her head. "They
aren't back yet. Beulah, will you
call Mary? We women can manage 
by ourselves."
She blew her nose. "What happened. 
Martha?" she asked
harshly.
By the time Martha had finished 
telling her the old lady
was slowly shaking her head.
"Where is Slade now?"
"He was going to look for Jim
Ned's horse. He—"
"The horse knows his own way
home," Rachel said dryly.
Without quite knowing why,
Martha felt fear clutch at her
heart. "Slade was afraid maybe
he had hurt himself, and was
trapped somewhere. Then he was
going to town and report to the
sheriff."
The old lady shook her head
again, and looked at her granddaughter 
with black, glittering
witch's eyes, "It didn't happen
that way at all, Martha. Jim Ned
wasn't dragged by any boot hung
in the stirrup. He was murdered!"

1,000 Zulu Women

low wages paid to their African
hands is a long-standing African
grievance in Natal.
A crowd of 200 Zulu women,
brandishing sticks, dancing and
chanting, gathered under a reinforced 
police guard Wednesday
after sugarcane fires had occurred
on eight neighboring farms during
the night.
Prosecuting women alt Umzinto
Wednesday, G. Percy stated that
the Jail there, built to accommodate 
145 prisoners, contained 432,
virtually all women.
Court sentences at Umzinto have
been ranging in fines from $28 to
$70, an impossible amount for African 
women to pay.
One of the principal grievances
of the African women, who are
nearly all Zulus, the warrior tribe
of South Africa, is their enforced
and unpaid labor in cattle "dipping." 
The work is compulsory. The
women were formerly paid. The
task involves the women carrying
water to fill the trenches or tanks
in which cattle pass to be disinfected.

rain before and at the time of
the contest, a good crowd was pre
sent. 

Before the judges made their report, 
Mrs. Vivian carter Mason of
Norfolk, Va., former president of
the National Council of Negro
Women, addressed the audience.
She told the crowd that a "dark
day" fell on Virginia when Senator 
Harry Byrd, Democrat or that
state, instructed Virginia politicians 
to adopt a program of "massive 
resistance" to the Supreme
Court decision against segregated
schools. But, she said, the "massive 
resistance" program has toppled. 

She suggested that the seven
contestants be formed into a team
to meet with other young people
and deliberate on the problems of
youth.
Why can't they spend weekends
in communities interpreting the
responsibilities of young people as
citizens of the United States?"
Mrs. Mason asked.

Foundation
Allen university along with Claflin
and Morris Colleges wore incorporated 
here last week by the State
of South Carolina as the Foundaitton 
for Independent Negro Colleges. 

Named as officers of the non-profit 
organisation are President O.
R. Reuben, Morris college, president; 
President F. R. Veal, Allen
university, vice-president; and
President H. V. Manning, Claflin
college, secretary - treasurer.
The charter for the three founding 
church-related colleges announced 
need for a joint effort to
solicit funds to meet the mounting 
costs of their educational programs. 

A 21-person board of directors
will meet soon to complete plans
for a nationwide fund-raising drive.
Foundation officials warned that
their group should not be confused
with the United Negro College Fund
which now distributes funds to
33 private accredited colleges.
"The primary purpose" of the
FINC," said President Reuben, "is
to provide a medium for senior
colleges outside of the UNCF to
also secure financial aid from
philanthrophy and the general
public."
