Rights Aide Seized
After Refusal To
Use J'Crow Room
A
staff member of the U. S. Civil
Rights Commission, who refused to
use a "white" waiting room in a
Greenwood, Miss., bus station, was
arrested Thursday night.
Chester P. Relyea, assistant to
General Counsel Clarence C. Ferguson, 
Jr., was held for about an
hour. He said he was released because 
Deputy Sheriff Wilbur Smith
of Leflore County failed to "think
up" a charge on which to hold
him.
The deputy sheriff told Mr. Relyea 
that some sort of a charge had
to be "thought up" to retain custody 
of him because a way had to
be found to keep "the races separate 
to Greenwood."
Mr. Relyea was in Greenwood in
connection with complaints of voter 
intimidation and discrimination
in the surplus food program there.
The city also was the scene of three
recent shootings.
Mr. Ferguson said he planned
to submit formal complaints on the
Greenwoodo incident to both the
Justice Department and the Interstate 
Commerce commission.

It
is considered "good ethics" now for
a realtor to sell property in an all
white neighborhood to a non

white person.
In a revision of its code of ethics
the National Association of Real
Estate Boards made this fact clear
for the first time since it adopted
the code in 1913.
Prior too 1948, the boards' code of
ethics specified that a realtor
should not sell to a colored person
in an all white neighborhood.
The NAREB's revised Article 5 of
the code reads as follows:
"The realtor should not be instrumental 
to introducing into a
neighborhood a character of property 
or use which will be clearly
detrimental to property values to
that neighborhood."
While NAREB has no routine; enforcement 
powers over local
boards, each local affiliate pledges
to abide by the code of ethics, under 
penalty of expulsion for flagrant 
violations.

spoke on the subject: "Life Can Be
Beautiful." In his inspiring address,

people, life can be beautiful. From
your home there are many important 
lessons to be learned which,
imperceptibly, become a part of
your scheme of values, Love, consideration, 
sharing, getting along
with others, thoroughness in the

performance of duties, punctuality,
courtesy and dependability, are but
a few of the qualities which can
help to make life beautiful for you
as you grow into maturity.
"When I say that life can be
beautiful. I do not mean to imply
that everyday is going to be one
of sunshine and roses, for into each
life, periods of crisis are bound
to arise.
"We cannot afford to allow one
set back or a series of set-back to
cause us to lose faith and hope,
for as long as we cling to those
two, we can rise above our difficulties, 
whatever they may be,"

Pres. Kennedy Notes Anniversary
Of Negro Press, Salutes Week
In a tribute to the Negro Press on its
136th anniversary, President Kennedy has declared that in spite
of hardships Negro newspapers have "never stopped working
toward the goal of equal opportunity."
The White House message went
to the National Newspaper Publishers 
Association on the ere of
the founding date of Freedom's
Journal, the first American Negro
newspaper, which was launched by
John B. usswurm on March 16,
1827, and in salute to NNPA for its
sponsorship of the 25th annual observance 
of National Negro Newspaper 
Week, March 17-23.
Said the President:
"When John B. Russwrum published 
the first Negro newspaper
on March 16, 1827, human slavery
was an entranched institution in
our nation. Only a small band of
Americans in that period had a
firm faith in the coming of freedom. 
Their faith in the future was
inspired and nurtured by the Negro
newspaper.
"Looking back at this period one
must observe, that despite, serious
economic hardships the American
Negro Press has never stopped
working toward the goal of equal
opportunity.
"There is no more rewarding
chapter in our history than the
one in which the Negro Press inspired 
Negro fellow citizens to seek
better education for themselves and
their children, to build better
schools, to foster their arts and to
carve out their own economic opportunity. 

"Today, over a century later, we
are mobilizing all our resources to
complete the task of full emancipation 
and to remove the last vestiges 
of second class citizenship. In
this task the Negro newspaper, I
am confident, will continue to make
a significant and important contribution." 

"The Negro Press, Emancipation 
Freedom's Promise"
is the theme of the press celebration, 
which is currently being observed 
by Negro, newspapers,
churches, educational institutions
and organizations throughout the
United States. Many groups took
note of the birth day of the Negro
Press on last Saturday, March 16.
According to NNPA President E.
Washington Rhodes, publisher. The
Philadelphia (Pa.) Tribune, at the
close of the Press Week observance,
the publishers will announce selection 
of ten honorees who, will receive 
The Russwurm Award in recognition 
of outstanding efforts to
advance the cause of democracy
during the past year. Individuals,
groups and organizations are eli
gible 
to receive the NNPA nods.
The Press Week promotion is a
project of the NNPA's Public Affairs 
Commission which is chaired 
by Thomas W. Young, presidentpublisher, 
The Norfork (Va.)
Journal and Guide. Other members 
of the commission, are D. Arnett

PLANS MAPPED TO AID
DEVELOPING NATIONS
The American 
Negro is peculiarly, advantaged
to "offer counsel to emerging and
developing peoples," Roy Wilkins,
executive secretary of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People, asserts in an
address prepared for delivery at the
West Berlin conference on cooperative 
assistance to developing countries. 

The three-day conference, March
15-17, was sponsored by the American 
organization, Peace with Freedom, 
and similar non-governmental
agencies in other countries. Mr.
Wilkins is a member of Peace With
Freedom's five-man board of direcTors. 

The NAACP leader reviewed the
progress made in race relations in
the United States, indicated the
magnitude of the job yet to be
done, and expressed the universal
concern for peace in this atomic
age.
The conference, he noted, "seeks
to discover the most effective ways

in which our non-governmental
organizations can aid the cause of
peace and at the same time preserve 
democratic freedoms."
The existence and the success
of the NAACP, Mr. Wilkins said.
"is testimony to the vitality of the
democratic system. Under our
governmental system we have been
free to organize, to protest, to
mobilize public opinion and to urge
political action to correct injustice.
"We are certain," he continued,
"that we can offer counsel to emerging 
end developing peoples from
the deep wells of our own experience. 
We can offer encouraging
warmth for those about to enter a
sometimes indiferent and cold
world. We can offer practicality
out of our countless jousts with
the enemies of hope and dignity.
"And best of all, we can offer
these special gifts in concert with
those in many nations who are
stoutly determined to realize the
common goal of peace, justice and
freedom."

HEW To Build
Schools At Two
More U.S. Bases
The Department of Health, Education, 
and Welfare has informed
the Secretary of the Air Force
that it will build on - base elementary 
schools at two more military 
bases, according to U. S. Commissioner 
of Education Francis
Keppel.
The installations are Maxwell Air
Force Base, Alabama, and England
Air Force Base, Louisiana. This
brings to eight the number of bases
where the Department will provide
educational facilities for elementary 
school children in the fall of
1963. The other six are: Fort Jackson 
and Myrtle Beach Air Force
Base, in South Carolina; Fort Stewart 
and Robins Air Force Base, in
Georgia, and Fort McClellan and
Fort Rucker, in Alabama.
This action was taken, Mr. Keppel 
said, under the "impacted area"
public school assistance program (P.
L. 874, Sec. 6, and P. L. 815, Sec.
10), which requires that the Commissioner 
of Education arrange for
the education of on - base children
if the education provided those
children by a local school district
is not "suitable." Last year it was
ruled that children who are required 
to attend segregated schools in
local school districts do not receive
a suitable education.
The two school districts affected
were advised in late January of
the Department's intention to build
on - base schools if the districts
themselves would not provide a
suitable education.
As previously stated by the Department 
with reference to the other 
six bases the schools will be federally 
-operated through the Department 
of Defense.

Suit Asks For
Voter Records
Voter registration 
records in four Mississippi
counties — including two where the
Student Nonviolent Coordinating
Committee (SNCC) has been conducting 
vote drives — have been
ordered opened for federal inspection 
in a lawsuit which seeks to
open voting rolls to disenfranchised 
Negroes.
United States District Judge
Harold Cox signed an order directing 
circuit clerks in Amite, Clairborne, 
Lowndes and LeFlore Counties 
to turn over to the Federal
investigators al lrecords pertaining
to voter registration.
A federal suit has charged that
strict voter requirements were set
into law to discriminate against
Negroes.
In Amite County, student workers 
for SNCC were beaten and
jailed. One local Negro, active in
the vote drive, was shot and killed
by State Representative B. H.
Hurst.
In LeFlore County, SNCC, workers 
have had to face shootings and
near lynchings. Last summer, two
girls were shot by night riders.
Four SNCC Field Secretaries narrowly 
missed being lynched last
August when they jumped from a
second story window to escape a
mob of white men carrying pipes,
ropes and chains. On February 28,
a SNCC worker — 20 - year -old
Jimmie Travis — was shot twice by
three white men who fired into the
car he was driving. A week later,
SNCC Field Secretaries Sam Block
and Willie Peacock and two other
vote workers were cut by flying
glass after some white men shot
into their car.
