Carol Brice Stars In
City Center "Show Boat"
NEW YORK — Contralto Carol Brice (long under Columbia
Artists Management as concert artist) is starring in her third musical 
comedy at New York City Center as "Queenie," in "Show
Boat." Miss Brice is co-star with Joe E. Brown, Jo Sullivan, Robert
Rounseville, Jane Kean, Anita Darian and Richard France, in the
Jerome Kern-Oscar Hammerstein II classic, "Show Boat" the first
production of the N. Y City Center Light Opera Company, spring
season of American Musical Masterpieces with Jean Dalrymple,
Director.
In an exclusive interview with
the dynamic and gifted Carol Brice
one of three musicians her brothers 
being Pianist Jonthan Brice
and Baritone Eugene Brice, it was
ascertained that she is playing her
third role in a succession, of Negro
women women more -or - less in
servile positions.
The mental adjustment and the
change of pace and structure from
concept to musical comedy was a
huge point of consideration in her
decision to accept the new medium.
However, it was Carol Brice's opinton 
that the more she does it
dnakes the change over the more
she enjoys the productions and
finds they may be just as artistic
and creative in their scope as other
forms of art.
The striking staturehque Carol
Brice declared further that the
day of specialization is over for the
artist. He must be versatile and
competent in all forms of the performing 
arts and be ready to meet
the competition which has now for
the most past surmounted pigment
of skin and paint of national origin. 
Furthermore, those who support 
American musical masterpieces
art for the most part the small
towns who are unable to get to
Broadway. Thus productions must
be telescoped as well as the cast
and those with the most show business 
have the better chance of

being chosen after audition.
Nine year old Lisa Carol Brice
daughter makes her stage debut in
"Show Boat." at City Center. Miss
Brice (who has a sixteen year old
son) indicated she wanted her child
to learn soon that show business
was more than glitter and glamour
and that these was pelnty of hard
work involved back behind the
scenes sometimes under the most
discouraging circumstance. Lisa
takes dancing, piano and singing
so that she may have the artistc
tools she needs as she develops in
life.
For the state struck man or woman 
boy or girl Carol Brice warns
that intelligence, discipline, clean
habits of living and as much education 
as one can get from citadels 
of learning is the key to success 
at home and abroad. (VANDAM

Powell 'Drops' 11,000 Members
From Church Rolls To Expand
The
Abyssinian Baptist Church, whose
pastor Representative Adam Clayton 
Powell Jr., has instituted an
extraordinary device for spurring
its members to contribute to a
$450,000 church fund - raising project. 

In a letter circular recently to
members. Powell announced that
the church's entire membership of
11.000 was being dropped from the
church rolls, To be reinstated,
members will he required to pay
a $1 "re - registration fee."
The money collected from the
reinstatement fees will go into the
church fund to purchase three
buildings alongside mid behind the
church the letter said.
Tne letter said that any unemployed 
or aged member who could

not pay the $1 reinstatement fee
would be excused if he would write
a letter explaining his inability to
pay.
Most of those who approved said
that the $1 rein statement fee was
very small compared with the
pledges and assessments required
of parishioners in other Protestant
and Roman Catholic churches in
the city for new schools and other
buildings.
Those who objected said they
thought it was unnecessary to drop
members from the church rolls to
spur them to contribute.

Negro Role In Civil
War Hailed In S. C.
Some
1,200 Charlestonians attended an
NAACP - sponsored rally here this
week highlighting the Negro's role
in the Civil War.
Special guests included Mrs; Madaline 
William; and Joseph N. Dempsey, 
members of the New Jersey
Civil War Centennial Commission.
It was denial of Charleston hool 
facilities to Mrs. Williams, wife
of Samuel Williams of the NAA
CP's National Board of Directors,
that made a national issue of plans
for a segregated Civil War obervance. 

This prompted President Kennedy's 
intervention against participation 
by the National Civil War Centennial 
Commission in such an observance. 

Also present was Dr. Lorenzo
Green of Lincoln University, Jefferson 
City, Mo., a member of that
state's Centenial Commission.
Dr. Benjajmin Quarles, professor
of history at Morgan State College, 
Baltmore, delivered the major 
address. He told the applauding 
audience that the Negro "did
not tarry in the wings, hands folded" 
during the Civil War.
Dr. Quarles said "former slaves
made up the bulk of- the 180,000
Negroes who shouldered a gun in
the Union Armies.
"Although not permitted to join
the Army until the war was well
on into its second year, Negroes
made up nearly ten percent of the
Union land forces," he said.
Dr. Quarles pointed out that
29.000 Negroes manned Union warships, 
"making up approximately
one quarter of the total Navy."
The distinguished educator, author 
of "The Negro in the Civil
War," is currently working on "The
Role of the Negro in the Revolutionary 
War" for the Oxford University 
Press.
Dr. Quarles summarized the Ne-1
gro's Civil War role as being
"three - fold: he was one of the
major causes of the war; he was
the symbol of the war's goal to
give 'a new birth of freedom.'
"And he himself played a vital
role as an active participant on
the battlefield and on the home
front," he said.
Rev. Matthew D. McCollom, first
vice president of the NAACP'S
South Carolina organization offered
a resolution to the meeting which
was unanimously passed.
"The system of slavery was the
basic issue which precipitated the
secession of certain Southern States
of which South Carolina was first,"
the resolution said in part.
"No attempt to glorify the Confederacy 
can be valid, for it was
founded upon the principle of slavery 
— and slavery is the most immoral 
of all human relation.
"We are glad that the South did
not win," the statement said.
The resolution called upon "all
Americans of democratic mind to
take the occasion of this Centennial 
as a period of national mourn
ing 
. . . for the suffering, stigma
and sin of slavery which this nation 
countenanced for two and a
half centuries.
"On the other hand," the resolution 
concluded, "let the period of
the Centennial be a time for binding, 
up the wounds, erasing the
barriers, and for establishment of
Justice and equality."
Other NAACP personnel participating 
in the rally included J. Arthur 
Brown, president of the South
Carolina organization; Mrs. Ruby
Hurley, southeast regional director;
Rev. B. J. Glover, president of the
Charleston NAACP; and Rev I,
Deuincey Newman, state field secretary. 

Also Revs. B. J. Cooper, J. S.

School Chiefs
Propose New
Finance Method

School superintendents from the
eight systems in the metropolitan
Atlanta area Monday proposed at
a state Board of Education meeting 
a new education financing
formula which would increase local
support "by nearly 300 per cent."
Jim Cherry, DeKalb County
school superintendent, told the
board that the plan "would be
the salvation of every school systern 
in Georgia that is trying to
help itself."
The proposal would require a
seven mill tax on property evaluated 
at 40 per cent of true market
value, This, in effect, would more
than double taxes in counties with
property evaluations of lower than
20 per cent of true value.
The formula would call for the
repeal of the present chargeback
law and substitute a matching
funds formula between each school
district and the State Board of
Education. Cherry said it would
eliminate the present formula
which he said is "discriminating
and inequitable" and increase local
effort by nearly 300 per cent.
Under the proposed plan, Cherry
said, the matching funds of each
school district will be equal to a sum
of money computed by a seven-mill
levy on an equalized tax digest
representing 40 per cent of true
market, value."
"The method of computing local
effort would be simple and direct,"
Cherry said. "Each school district
would be encouraged to increase-its
local effort, for there would be no
penalty to itself or to other school
districts."
The present chargeback system
of providing funds for the State
Education Department has been
under fire by many school and
other county officials for some
time. Critics of the system have
said that as a school district raises
the evaluation of property, the
income tax levy on this increase

is added to the annual chargeback
to the state. Therefore, Cherry
said, "Any school system which
increases its digest, not only penalizes 
itself but penalizes all its
neighbors."
Along with the new financing
formula, the metropolitan Atlanta
school officials proposed that state
increase maintenance and operation
funds from $450 to $700 per state
alloted teacher. They also called
for an enlargement of the Minimum 
Finance program to include
principals, librarians and counselors 
for each 25 state alloted teachers. 

The state board earlier adopted
a program to initiate a series of
varying experimental projects for
academically, talented children in
one school system in each of the
state's ten Congressional districts.

Tulane Univ. Policy-Makers
Vote To Admit Negroes

Joseph M. Jones, president of the
Tulane Educational Fund, which
sets the previously white-only university's 
policy, said the board voted
To "admit qualified students regardless 
of race or color."
Jones said the basic restrictions
are in donations of Paul Tulane
and Mrs. Josephine Louise Newcomb 
and legislative acts of Louisiana. 
Presumably, the fund board
will seek exceptions from the restrictions. 

"This course of action was taken 
in the knowledge that Tulane
must move ahead and assume its
rightful place of leadership among
America's outstanding universities,"
Jones said.
The gift of Paul Tulane in 1882,
consisting of wide real estate holdings 
in New Orleans, was dedicated 
to "promotion and encourage
ment 
of intellectual, moral and industrial 
education among young
white persons."
Mrs. Newcomb, in donating large
sums of money in 1896, stipulated
that the Newcomb College, an adjunct 
of Tulane established mostly
with her money, was for "higher
education of white girls and women." 

And the legislative act which es
tablished 
the private school as a
university, broadening its scope
from a primarily medical school,
directed the administrators in 1884
to develop the university under the
terms of the Paul Tulane gift.
"Times have changed since the
university was founded," Jones
said. "To meet these changes and
the obligations imposed on the administrators 
to create and maintain
a great university, it was decided
to establish this policy" of nondiscrimination.

Refusal To Order
School Admission
Upheld By Court
The United States Fourth Circuit
Court of Appeals Friday upheld a
lower court's refusal to order ten
colored pupils admitted to white
schools in Charlottesville, Va.
But the appellate court said the
administration of the Charlottesville
desegregation plan violated the
rights of colored children and cannot 
indefinitely continue."
The court, however, decided
again upsetting the Charlottesville
desegregation plan because it said it
had noted some progress had been
made in integrating the schools.
