The Court Defines "Deliberate Speed?"
In a new decree the Supreme Court of the United States
put the finishing touch on this deliberate speed complex. These
two words have been tumbled around in a wheel chair ever
since that memorable decision outlawing segregation in the
public schools in the famous decisions of 1954 and 1955.
Immediately after the "cooling off" period suggested and
allowed by the court, and the opportunity for those affected to
appear as friends of the court, the famous decisions were to
encounter that vicious circle of being remanded from court to
court. During its tours that "deliberate speed" allowed ample
time for the obstinate ones to devise and improvise subterfuge,
plans for circumventing, or, outright abolishing the public school
system entirely.
The two words would form a strange combination, with
one according to Webster meaning, lacking rapidity, not sudden
nor rash; the other quite to the reverse, meaning swiftness,
quickness, celerity, and haste. The manner in which those affected
used their "cooling off" periods and such time as might climatize
the states into readiness for a gradual and unnoticeable compliance, 
caused the courts to come together and tie the two
words together to spell out to Little Rock to comply immediately.
So, the term "deliberate speed" has had its day; it was
somewhat of an ambiguous nature any way, and lawyers could
inform laymen in sundry definers, but the word "immediate"
is self explanatory; it would hardly need any interpretation by
District judges and circuit lawyers and opportunist politicians,
who have been going to town on this question.
While the court at some future time, as expediency demands 
might have some further clarifications or specifications
on its flexible margin, once a question as such, resolved by the
high tribunal, will not be further modified or even reconsidered.
These are curious times; a period for cool and level heads
such as would become any phase of a reconstruction not in
accordance with the customs and wishes of many whom the law
as such on the face could not accommodate.
It would at this critical period hardly become any official
to impress people that the court is a tool of some private
organization; something not to be taken seriously and intimate
to laymen that it is something that can be successfully resisted.

Are Men Crumbling Under
Freedom's Load?

In Van Buren, Ark., parents have conceded that they permitted 
and in some cases encouraged their children to taunt
Negro children in the school yard. They haven't openly admitted 
inciting their youngsters to harm the Negro kids.
In England, 100 white men watched in silence when a gang
of young rowdies set fire to a house owned by a Jamaican,
Negro.
In Little Rock, in Alexandria, in some towns of Tennessee
and North Carolina, violence and physical persecution follow
the race question.
Would 100 men stand idly by while a gang of teenage
toughs tied cans to a dog's tail or whipped him with sticks?
Vicious attacks on children can't possibly represent the
South's considered views on the segregation issue. Encouraging,
much less permitting, children to bully other children regardless
of color, and to riot and rebel; teaching children to flaunt the
authority of law and take into their own hands the administration 
of a twisted sense of justice can't possibly represent, in this
country or England, what most of us believe our youngsters
should be taught.
What we are seeing is not so much a deterioration of what
we call the "race question," as it is a crumbling of people, of
human beings, themselves. Riot and strife prove what many
wise men in the South have said, "When you argue and scrap
about race, you bring put of the woodwork the lowest, scurviest
and most inhuman elements in the population."
Southerners must regard the annual fall outbreak of inhumanity 
with the keenest forbearance, considering each incident 
in the light of what they believe most deeply. If their
deepest conviction is that racial domination by one race over
the others is right and this conviction overcomes convictions
concerning God's love, human justice and individual freedoms,
they will know they are in a war and may react accordingly.
Should such consideration throw light on convictions deeper
than pride and distrust, conviction strong enough to overcome
those emotions, the Southerner may wonder, in his objectivity,
whether the world has really gone crazy or whether something
sinister, patient and fearful is deliberately plotting to divide,
shame and eventually rule the free men of the globe.

Police Kill

other call made by officers for help.
During the aftermath of the
flareups, nearly a thousand persons
mingled about the Perry Homes protesting 
the actions of the police
officers.
Jeter, a maintenance man in the
project, was pronounced dead on
arrival at Grady. He had been
shot in the chest. His wife was arrested 
at the hospital and accused
of attacking an officer. One of
their three children, Joseph, Jr.,
was also arrested.
Several Negro leaders conferred
in Mr. Henderson's office after the
shooting and arrests, as hundreds
milled about outside. Mayor Hartsfield 
had been contacted concerning 
the alleged police assaults.
Mr. Henderson, an eyewitness to
most of the incidents, told Capt.
E. B. Brooks, head of the police
evening watch, what he saw unfold
in the project. Following is his account 
of what happened:
Shortly after 5 p.m. an employee
of a drugstore on Perry Boulevard,
N. W., allegedly called police to investigate 
a youth with a gun in
the store. It was later learned the
boy had a toy weapon. He reportedly 
fled as police arrived.
The boy was apprehended in the
project and allegedly assaulted by
officers. Mr. Henderson said the
commotion caused him to go out
side 
where he saw several officers
striking the boy, who was reportedly 
"helpless." Henderson said the
police dragged the boy to the police 
car "where they beat him with
a pistol in the back seat."
A beautician, identified by Mr.
Henderson as a Mrs. Jones, was allegedly 
assailed when she pleaded
with police not to harm the boy.
When she was knocked to the
ground. Henderson said he approached 
the officers to ask mercy
for the woman.
"When I got half way to the car,
one policeman grabbed me from the
rear, twisted my head back." Henderson 
said. That was when he
was struck about the neck, he
stated. The woman's husband allegedly 
asked officers not to hit
his wife, and he was assaulted, according 
to the Perry Homes manager. 
Both were arrested.
Seven witness corroborated his
statements.
Several witnesses said while Mr.
Henderson was being held, Jeter,
who was on the opposite side of the
street, started over to tell police
they were holding the manager of
the project. His son reportedly held
him back. Witnesses said that was
when two patrolmen grabbed Jeter
and knocked him backwards while
a third officer shot him in the
chest.
"After they shot him, they dragged
him and threw him on the seat of
the car." Henderson told Capt.
Brooks. Several minutes elapsed before 
police made any effort to take

the wounded man to the hospital,
he said. Jeter was transferred from
a police car to an ambulance at
Marietta and Ashby Streets. He
arrived at Grady, dead, at 7:15 p.m.
Throughout the melee witnesses,
said officers pointed their guns at
men, women and children and
warning them not to move.
The officers "went wild," Capt.
Brooks was told. One witness described 
the officers on the scene as
appearing as though they were
afraid and panicked.
As the account of the arrests and
alleged unwarranted assaults were
reported, several witnesses gave vent
to numerous grievances in which
they charged other assaults on children 
and adults in the area by police. 

The huge crowd remained near
the project entrance late Saturday
night, expressing dissatisfaction with
what had happened. Several incidents 
were reported but all were
quelled immediately by officers on
the scene.
Del. C. J. Perry and Patrolman
R. A. Knight reported halting a
disturbance in the drug store allegedly 
where the original call to
police was made. The officers said
someone apparently did not understand 
why officers were summoned.
Miss Clara Colbert, store employee,
said it was believed at first that
the arrested youth had a real gun.
Within a few hours the story of
the Perry Homes disturbances had
traversed the town and appeals were
made to Negro leaders to go to
the area to help disperse the crowd.
The Perry Homes incident came
one week after two women accused 
police of assaulting them in the
vicinity of Northside Drive and
Larkin Street. A 17-year-old boy
was shot by police and accused of
attempting to murder an officer.
Both of the women were hospitalized. 

Mr. Jeter, who was superintendent 
of buildings and grounds in the
project, was one of the originators
and sponsors of the Brown Derby
in Atlanta.
Several police officers investigating 
the incidents reported that several 
persons had attacked police
officers. These charges were flatly
denied by several eyewitnesses to
the entire series of events.

Throughout the melee witnesses,
said officers pointed their guns at
men, women and children and
warning them not to move.
The officers "went wild," Capt.
Brooks was told. One witness described 
the officers on the scene as
appearing as though they were
afraid and panicked.
As the account of the arrests and
alleged unwarranted assaults were
reported, several witnesses gave vent
to numerous grievances in which
they charged other assaults on children 
and adults in the area by police. 

The huge crowd remained near
the project entrance late Saturday
night, expressing dissatisfaction with
what had happened. Several incidents 
were reported but all were
quelled immediately by officers on
the scene.
Del. C. J. Perry and Patrolman
R. A. Knight reported halting a
disturbance in the drug store allegedly 
where the original call to
police was made. The officers said
someone apparently did not understand 
why officers were summoned.
Miss Clara Colbert, store employee,
said it was believed at first that
the arrested youth had a real gun.
Within a few hours the story of
the Perry Homes disturbances had
traversed the town and appeals were
made to Negro leaders to go to
the area to help disperse the crowd.
The Perry Homes incident came
one week after two women accused 
police of assaulting them in the
vicinity of Northside Drive and
Larkin Street. A 17-year-old boy
was shot by police and accused of
attempting to murder an officer.
Both of the women were hospitalized. 

Mr. Jeter, who was superintendent 
of buildings and grounds in the
project, was one of the originators
and sponsors of the Brown Derby
in Atlanta.
Several police officers investigating 
the incidents reported that several 
persons had attacked police
officers. These charges were flatly
denied by several eyewitnesses to
the entire series of events.

APPEAL TO LEADERS

other call made by officers for help.
During the aftermath of the
flareups, nearly a thousand persons
mingled about the Perry Homes protesting 
the actions of the police
officers.
Jeter, a maintenance man in the
project, was pronounced dead on
arrival at Grady. He had been
shot in the chest. His wife was arrested 
at the hospital and accused
of attacking an officer. One of
their three children, Joseph, Jr.,
was also arrested.
Several Negro leaders conferred
in Mr. Henderson's office after the
shooting and arrests, as hundreds
milled about outside. Mayor Hartsfield 
had been contacted concerning 
the alleged police assaults.
Mr. Henderson, an eyewitness to
most of the incidents, told Capt.
E. B. Brooks, head of the police
evening watch, what he saw unfold
in the project. Following is his account 
of what happened:
Shortly after 5 p.m. an employee
of a drugstore on Perry Boulevard,
N. W., allegedly called police to investigate 
a youth with a gun in
the store. It was later learned the
boy had a toy weapon. He reportedly 
fled as police arrived.
The boy was apprehended in the
project and allegedly assaulted by
officers. Mr. Henderson said the
commotion caused him to go out
side 
where he saw several officers
striking the boy, who was reportedly 
"helpless." Henderson said the
police dragged the boy to the police 
car "where they beat him with
a pistol in the back seat."
A beautician, identified by Mr.
Henderson as a Mrs. Jones, was allegedly 
assailed when she pleaded
with police not to harm the boy.
When she was knocked to the
ground. Henderson said he approached 
the officers to ask mercy
for the woman.
"When I got half way to the car,
one policeman grabbed me from the
rear, twisted my head back." Henderson 
said. That was when he
was struck about the neck, he
stated. The woman's husband allegedly 
asked officers not to hit
his wife, and he was assaulted, according 
to the Perry Homes manager. 
Both were arrested.
Seven witness corroborated his
statements.
Several witnesses said while Mr.
Henderson was being held, Jeter,
who was on the opposite side of the
street, started over to tell police
they were holding the manager of
the project. His son reportedly held
him back. Witnesses said that was
when two patrolmen grabbed Jeter
and knocked him backwards while
a third officer shot him in the
chest.
"After they shot him, they dragged
him and threw him on the seat of
the car." Henderson told Capt.
Brooks. Several minutes elapsed before 
police made any effort to take

the wounded man to the hospital,
he said. Jeter was transferred from
a police car to an ambulance at
Marietta and Ashby Streets. He
arrived at Grady, dead, at 7:15 p.m.
Throughout the melee witnesses,
said officers pointed their guns at
men, women and children and
warning them not to move.

Ike Appeals To

Even as the court handed down
its ruling, top Justice Department
attorneys and a swarm of deputy
U. S. Marshals swung into action
at Little Rock to enforce the court's
decision — provided the court's decision 
— provided the school does
open Monday.
More than half a hundred deputies 
had arrived by noon and more
were coming hourly.
The Supreme Court order, read
in a tense courtroom by Chief Justice 
Earl Warren, was limited solely 
to legal aspects, of the case and
did not go into the reasoning of
the nine black-robed justices that
led to their decision.
The order said the views of the
justices elaborating on their decision 
would be issued "in due course."
The decision did not expand on
the court's 1955 ruling that integration 
should proceed with "all deliberate 
speed" as many lawyers
and jurists had hoped and thought
it might do. Nor did it say anything 
about force and violence at
Little Rock.

17 Virginia Counties Have
No High School For Negroes
The discrimination which thrived 
under the old "separate but equal" formula in race relations 
in Virginia and the rest of the South was disclosed last
week when a report on the records of the state department of
education showed that Virginia has 17 counties which do not
have a high school for Negroes.
Four counties have no high
schools and no pupils. They are
Buchanan, Craig, Highland and
Scott.
Thirteen other counties have no
high schools for Negroes. They are
Bath, Blaud, Carroll, Dickenson,
Floyd, Frederick Grayson, Lee,
Madison, Rockingham, Shenandoah, 
Warren and Washington.
In addition, there are many
communities within the state
which have no high school for
Negroes to attend — small towns
and cities where high schools are
available, but for whites only.
West Point is an example. Negro 
children in West Point have
to travel 18 miles in King William
county to the Hamilton-Holmes
training school for a high school
education.
There are several counties in the
state where Negro pupils have to
go outside the county for high
school training. In such counties,
the students attend what is called
"regional high schools" operated
jointly by several counties. In
some cases, students attend these
schools on a tuition basis.

a founder and director of the
Cottom Makers Jubilee.
So the Pre-School association is
sponsoring the "showcase" nursery, 
which will have facilities to
accommodate 25 pre-school age
children who will be privileged to
come from any section of the city.
A small fee will be charged. However, 
it will be scaled according
to the earnings of parents.
Also working to establish the
nursery from the beginning were:
Mrs. Leoda Gammon, a contributing 
columnist for the Memphis
World; Miss Willa McWilliams, a
city public school teacher; Bob
Bartush of WLOK radio; Rev.
James E. McDaniel, executive director 
of the local Urban League;
and Mrs. Marie Wathan, news

Some $12,000 will be needed to
set the nursery in operation.
Mrs. Venson said a donor whose
identity is unknown has agreed
to match dollar-for-dollar all contributions 
up to $5 000.
So far about $1,200 has been
received. The local chapter of the
Zeta Phi Beta sorority was the

first to send $100. Next was the
Alpha Kappa sorority. About $750
has been sent by mail and about
$400 has been collected in person, 
revealed Mrs. Venson, who
pointed out "Miss McWilliams has
done an outstanding job, by speaking 
before every civic club in behalf 
of the project. She also appealed 
to teachers during a meeting." 

During the tea next Sunday, a

She will visit each area tea.
Each area will have a sponsor
who is responsible for obtaining
10 other persons who will invite

JAMES KEENE'S powerful new novel
JUSTICE, MY BROTHER!
© Copyright 1957, by James Keene; reprinted by permission of the novel's publisher, 
House Inc.: distributed by King Features Syndicate.
PONCA CITY was wide-awake
at four-thirty in the morning
when Cord sent his warning.
"Keep clear of me or the girl gets
killed!"
Men were appearing with rifles
and shotguns and Cord had just
disappeared into the stable with
Julie Hageman.
In a matter of three minutes
the stable was surrounded, while
near the front, men began to
crowd up behind me. I waved
them back and they understood:
this was O'Dare business and the
O'Dares would handle it their own
way. So I stood alone, twenty
yards from the black stable maw.
Two men with lanterns edged
along the wall and hung the lights
near the arch. Cord would now
have to step into this puddle of
brightness in order to escape.
Beneath my coat was Pete
Lanahan's 45 Colt; I drew it and
cocked it and stood there with its
unaccustomed weight in my hand.
I was not aware that Ma and
Edna had come up behind me to
stand on the edge of the crowd.
But Ma yelled. "Smoke, don't hurt
him! Please don't hurt him!"
No one else spoke. I could hear
Cord stirring around inside the
barn. Probably trying to saddle
a horse and hold Julie prisoner at
the same time.
"Come on out alone, Cord!" I
said. "Killing her won't solve anything! 
It won't save you!"
"Let me walk out and she goes
unhurt, Smoke!"
"You can walk out," I said.
"And no one will touch you if you
let Julie go. But either way, I'll
be standing here. You'll have to
walk over me to get away."
He did not answer; I suppose
he was thinking it over, but I
didn't want him to think; he was
too smart for me. "Cord? The
place is surrounded, but this is
between the O'Dares. I'm your
only chance, Cord. And you'll have
to kill me to take it."
I stood there for what seemed
a long time; then Julie ran out.
Two men grabbed her and pulled
her to safety.
Cord said, "If I throw out my
gun. Smoke, do you promise me
a trial?"
"The same kind Luther got," I
said.
"Ah," Cord said, "'you want to
get me hung."
"A chance you got to take," I
said. "All I can promise is that
I'll be standing here when you
step out that door."
"You got a gun, Smoke?"
"I've got a gun."
"You going to shoot me,
Smoke?"
That was something I couldn't

answer and my silence must have
given him some hope. "I've never
been mean to you," he said. "And
I'm counting on you to remember
that, when I step out with empty
hands." He paused. "I'm going
to throw out my gunbelt."
"You throw it and I'll see it,"
I said.
For a heartbeat I thought he'd
changed his mind, then he stepped
into the doorway and gave the
rig a fling. I watched it plop
into the dust and saw the lantern
light glance off the nickel-plated
44 Smith & Wesson.
He looked at the crowd, then
at me. Smiled at me. "Smoke,
you don't need that gun. You can
see that I'm unarmed."
"Then just step over to those
fellas so they can put a rope
around your wrists."
"Tie me, Smoke? I've always
been a man who likes his freedom." 
he said. "You like freedom
too, Smoke."
I did sure enough, but this
wasn't the time to talk about it.
I'll never know why I suspected
him still, but when he suddenly
ducked his right hand behind him
and came up with a small .41
Derringer, I wasn't the least bit
surprised.
He had two shots and used
them both before I could raise the
.45, but he wasted both of them.
Could be that the peashooter
wasn't Cord's kind of gun, or this
wasn't his lucky day, because
when I dropped the hammer, he
spun half around from the bullet's 
impact. Then I fanned the
gun empty as he fell.
I must have hit him three times
out of the five but I never knew
for sure. I never asked the doctor 
and he never told me. It made
it a little easier, not knowing.
I just stood there and let the
crowd move around me, and then
I was on the outer fringes and
walking toward Pete Lanahan's
saloon, his empty .45 in my hand.
Lanahan was alone. He always
opened early and was never a
man to forsake business on account 
of a shooting. He passed
over a bottle of his best whisky
and I gave him back his gun.
The whisky scalded me from
throat to toe, and then I saw that
Julie was with me, looking at me,
silently offering her help.
A man came in, took off his
hat and spoke to Julie. "Your
brother's going to be all right,
Doc says."
"Thank you," she said, then we
were alone again, except for Pete
Lanahan. "Smoke," Julie said,
"don't shut me out. Let me help
you. Will you let me try?"
I nodded. The foolish dreams I
used to carry around in my head
suddenly vanished and ahead was
a man's world, with a man's

trouble, yet I wasn't n bit afraid
of it.
"I guess I'd better take Ma and
Edna home," I said. "And Cord."
We went out together but
parted on the boardwalk. Julie
was going to stay with her brother 
at the doctor's house. I walked
across the street to the hotel. One
of the townsmen had hitched up
the buggy and Ma stood under
the gallery, wooden faced. Edna
was with her and when I helped
Ma into the rig, she seemed to
move in a dream, her expression
unchanged.
A man standing near said, "I'll
drive the wagon, if that's all
right, Smoke."
"Sure," I said, not looking at
him. Edna handed me the reins
and I wheeled but of town. Behind 
us the wagon with Cord
stretched out clattered along
How miserable can a ride be?
None more than that, surely. For
twenty minutes Ma kept turned
around in the seat, looking back
at the wagon.
Then she surprised me by turning 
around properly and saying,
"He was oldest, my first-born. I
remember how I held him; how I
just knew that he'd be I great
man someday. But he was going
to kill my youngest. Stand there,
laughing and killing."
I wondered if I should say anything, 
to try to tell her how I felt,
but then I decided that she knew
and understood and that I was
never going to have to talk about
it.
At the home place the man who
had driven the wagon parked it
by the barn, then left, riding one
of the horses he had unhitched.
Ma was moving around the
house, putting a match to the
lamps. Edna started to go in, but
I said. "Wait. Not yet."
"I don't think it's safe to leave
her alone," Edna said.
"We're all alone, all of us." I
said. "Even when we think we're
in a crowd, we're still alone. Ma'll
find her way out."
And I think she did. She came
out of the house and stopped on
the porch. She looked at Edna
and me and said, "You ought to
come in before you catch cold.
Well have to bury Cord in the
morning."
Edna went with her; it is a woman's 
place to comfort women. I
sat on the steps and waited for
the dawn wind to die. It would;
I could bet on it for I lived in an
unchanging world. Tomorrow,
after the service, I'd go in to meet
Marshal Ledbetter and bring
Luther home.
Maybe Julie too, if the preacher
was available.
Anyway, it was something to
think about.
