American Negro artists and specialists 
who will be representing the
United States at the Festival. Marion

Her presence with us is further
evidence of the concern of the
White House for closer inter - cultural 
and international ties with
our sister countries."

Defense Fund Wins Desegregation
Of Florida Detention Facilities
Two major breakthroughs 
in the fight against Florida's 
segregated penal, institutions
were announced here recently by
Jack Greenberg, director-counsel of
the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational 
Fund.
A decision by the Fifth U. S.
Circuit Court of Appeals paved the
way for desegregation of Florida's
Juvenile reform schools, and a Federal 
District Court Judge in Jacksonville 
ordered desegregation of
Jacksonville detention facilities.
"If we are to have equal justice
under law," Mr. Greenberg said,
"equal treatment must be given to
the guilty as well as the innocent.
We will continue to attack racial
segregation of prisoners, particularly 
where it involves juveniles
who should have equal access to
rehabilitation facilities."
Both desegregation suits were
brought by Negroes arrested during
sit-in demonstrations in segregated
restaurants in Jacksonville and St.
Augustine.
The appellate court ruling reversed 
a Federal District Court
dismissal of a suit to desegregate
Florida's reform schools.
The Federal District Court in
Tallahassee had dismissed the suit,
brought in behalf of four juveniles,
now 16 to 18 years old on grounds
that they arc no longer inmates
of the reform schools, and hence
had no right to sue.
The four juveniles, two boys and
two girls, wee arrested and
charged with trespass during July,
1963, demonstrations in St. Augustine. 
They were adjudged delinquents 
and committed to reform
school after they refused, the juvenile 
court judge's offer Of probation 
if they agreed to stop participating 
in demonstrations.
They spent nearly seven months
in reform schools before being released 
in January, 1964, by the
Board of Commissioners of Florida 
State Institutions, defendant in
the desegregation suit.
The Board authorized the release 
after the juveniles agreed to
accept the probationary terms originally 
set by the juvenile court
judge.
The three-judge appellate panel,
sitting in New Orleans, La., said
the juveniles could sue since they
are subject to reconfinement in
reform school because they are still
on probation and, under Florida
law, remain under the jurisdiction
 juvenile court until their
21st birthday.
The case was returned to the
district court.
Legal Defense Fund Lawyer Leroy 
D. Clark said he will ask the
Board, which supervises the reform
schools, to sign a content degree
desegregating the facilities.
Mr. Clark said he will, also seek
a court order to inspect the reform
schools to determine what action
should be taken to bring about desegregation. 

Federal District Judge William
A. McRae, Jr., ordered desegregation 
of Jacksonville's jails and prisons. 

Negroes, arrested during demonstrations 
in March, 1961, complained 
that they were detained in
racially segregated jail cells while
awaiting trial, and after being
convicted of trespass charges, were
transported in a racially segregated 
police wagon to the City Prison 
Farm, which is also racially
segregated.
City officials defended segregation 
of prisoners as "in keeping
with good prison" practice...." but
Judge McRae gave them six
months in which to accomplish desegregation 
of prisons.
Legal Defense Fund attorneys
participating in the case were Earl
M. Johnson of Jacksonville, and.
Jack Greenberg and Leroy D. Clark
of New York.

Initial steps toward the creation
of nine regional education "laboratories" 
to spur innovation and
improvement in the Nation's elementary 
and secondary schools were
announced by the U. S. Office
of Education.
Contracts totaling $795,610 were
approved for nine newly-formed
groups to develop the labortories.
Labortery in this case means a
union of colleges and universities,
State Departments of education,
schools and other educational interests 
in given area working together 
on innovative projects.
The various participants will be
linked administratively with local
schools to work toward improving
teaching techniques and student
performance, exploring the use of
new technological devices such as
computers, curriculum development, 
solving desegregation problems, 
and the strengthening of
educational leadership, organization, 
and facilities.
Funds provided under the initial
contracts will be used in the regions 
for a variety of purposes, including 
the surveying of the current 
status of educational, programs 
and practice, developing
new methods for their improvement, 
assessing available educational 
talent and resources, and
developing organizational techniques 
for carrying out new programs. 

The educational groups forming 
"labortories," the amounts of
the contracts, and the States participating 
are as follows:
—Southeastern Education Corporation 
(Tallahassee, Fla.)—
$99,910, Alabama, Georgia, Florida. 

—Appalachia Regional Educacation 
Labortory (Morgantown,
W. Va) — $99,989, West Virginia 
and parts of Pennsylvania, 
Maryland, Virginia, Ohio,
Tennessee and Kentucky.

Planning for a 10th labortory
is underway at the Center for
Urban Education in New York
City, a research center currently
being assisted by funds from the
Ofice of Education.
Groups receiving labortory development 
money will make reports 
within about 45 days. A short
time later a final decision will be
made concerning further Federal
financing support.
Congress appropriated $45 million 
for operations, and approxl

Birchite Can't
Be Good Cop,
Wilkins Avows
NAACP Executive 
Director Roy Wilkins took
strong execution, Feb. 24 to recently-appointed 
New York City
Police. Commisioner Howard R.
Leary's statement that he would
allow city policemen to belong to
the John Birch Society.
"We believe that a man cannot
be a 100 per cent Jonn Birch member, 
and a 100 per cent New York
City policeman at one and the
same time," Mr. Wilkins said.
Noting that official literature of
the John Birch Society "repeats
over and over again that the civil
rights movement is Communistic."
Mr. Wilkins asked how can "advocacy 
of ordinary American civil
rights escape being classified in
the minds of response to their
Birch beliefs?
Full text of Mr. Wilkins statement 
follows:
"We in the NAACP regret the
green light Police commissioner
Howard R. Leary has given New
York City police to join the John
Birch Society.
"We believe that a man cannot 
be a 100 per cent John Birch
member and a 100 per cent New
York City policeman at one and
the same time.
"The Birchers have the curious
and dangerous idea that any theory
that differs from their is Communistic. 
Their official literature
repeats over and over again that
the civil rights movement, is Communistic.

Family Planning Seen
Aiding Many Countries
While population 
problems are of "staggering
dimensions" today, an investigatory 
tour through Far East and
Middle East countries shows that
corrective measures are being established 
through family planning
projects, Dr. Jerome T. Holland,
president of Hampton Institute,
reports.
As recipients of a Carnegie Corporation 
grant to study educational 
problems, Dr. and Mrs. Holland 
visited India, Pakistan, Egypt.
Thailand, the Philippines and other 
areas. Of their findings, the
educator and sociologist, who is a
member of the Board of Directors
of Planned Parenthood - World
Population, said:
"I don't think any of us realize
the staggering dimensions of the
population crisis until we actually
visit some of these lands. I had
read a great deal but until I saw
Calcutta, the Egyptian villages and
the rural community developments
in the Philippines, I had no idea of
the immensity of the needs and
the comprehensiveness of the impact 
of uncontrolled population
growth.
"In addition to the shocking evidence 
of need, we found virtually
everyhwere a concern with solving
the problems. We found commitment 
on all levels of society from 
the power structure at the
top of national governments
through the local government units 
and including the mass of people 
themselves. We wore greatly
impressed by the family planning
programs actually being undertak
en. 
In them we thought we saw the
promise of a bright future, with
pressures relieved as people were
given the means to make knowledgeable 
decisions about family
size for themselves."
Dr. Holland called his study tour
a "most enlightening experience."
'We were token into the clinics;
introduced to the doctors, the
nurses, and the patients," he said.
"We felt honored by the warm
welcome we received as we explored
the population and family planning 
movement in each country.
I also had the feeling that the
people in the host countries felt
honored that someone from the
American affiliate of the International 
Planned Parenthood Federation 
would take time while in
their country to come into the clinics 
to discuss with "those administering 
program their achievements,
needs and problems.
"I left the countries with a feeling 
of pride in my membership in
Planned Parenthood-World Population 
and its Board of Directors. I
am happy to be a part of the organization 
whose program I knew
nationally and have now seen in
action interatioally."

Sunday School Lesson




The lesson for today is a continuation 
of our studies of man. We
have looked long and inquisitively
at man as a person, created in the
image of God; we have studied
his downfall, caused by his rebellions 
nature; and we have found
pleasure in contemplation of his
redemption through the Son of
God. It is therefore meet that we
should give some consideration and
thought to the obligations of this
change in man's estate.
Communion with God has been
the cornerstone of the Christian
faith, down through the ages —
from its inception to the present
day land will be for the countless
centuries to come.
Jesus communed with God ..
through his boyhood, through his
tribulations in Gethsemane ....
even as he drew his last breath
on the Cross. Indeed, it was his
wonderful closeness to God, and
the patience, the endurance, the
strength and the wisdom that he
drew from it, that led his followers 
to petition him to teach them
to pray.
Thus came into being the most
universal, the best-known, and one
of the most beloved prayers known
to Christians the world over —
the Lord's Prayer. No one who has
heard it, or uttered it, can fail to
be moved to humility by the measured 
majesty of its stances. Certainly 
no one can fail to be moved
to humility by the measured majesty 
of its stances. Certainly no
one will deny that they have many 
times, drawn comfort from the
prayers of an ancient people.
Communion with God, however,
does not necessarily have to be
couched in terms of beautiful prose.
A simple, mental word of thanks
for the safety of a loved one, for

the wonder of the senses, for all
God's bounty in a wonderful, shining 
world, is heart by God Just
cere heart, reaches God just as
prayers offered during the course
of a church service.
An anguished cry for God's help,
wrung from a despairing but sincere 
heart, reaches G od just as
surely as a more formal version.
Indeed, the very spontaneous and
informal means of communication
— in itself — denotes a more personal 
footing with God and is
therefore greatly to be desired.
But closeness denoted by personal 
communion, while it carries
its privileges — like all privilegers
— carires responsibilities. Communion 
with God — personal communication 
— sho dnot be confined 
to personal interests and
benefits alone. With it comes the
responsibility (and privilege) of
witness.
The comfort, the peace of mind,
the assurance of the forgiveness
of sins, the promise of life after
death — all these should be shared,
as should any good news ... any
good fortune, To hoard, it to oneself 
is selfishness, for as we look
around us, there are others whose
need is as great, (if not greater)
than ours.
God's love for us, and the
strength He gives us, is for all
mankind. And a dedicated Christian 
recognizes this. If he is truly
a Christian he will share with
his fellow men is personal experience 
with God.
Just as prayer cannot be separated 
from the study of the Bible,
so it Cannot be separated from the
way we conduct ourselves in life.
If we would talk with God, we
must work for God, for where
there is talk with ut action, then
there is futility.
Therefore our communion with
God should be a living, active experience

Christ lived, love as Christ loved;
it should inspire as to accomplish
His work. THAT is true communication!

COMMUNION WITH GOD




The lesson for today is a continuation 
of our studies of man. We
have looked long and inquisitively
at man as a person, created in the
image of God; we have studied
his downfall, caused by his rebellions 
nature; and we have found
pleasure in contemplation of his
redemption through the Son of
God. It is therefore meet that we
should give some consideration and
thought to the obligations of this
change in man's estate.
Communion with God has been
the cornerstone of the Christian
faith, down through the ages —
from its inception to the present
day land will be for the countless
centuries to come.
Jesus communed with God ..
through his boyhood, through his
tribulations in Gethsemane ....
even as he drew his last breath
on the Cross. Indeed, it was his
wonderful closeness to God, and
the patience, the endurance, the
strength and the wisdom that he
drew from it, that led his followers 
to petition him to teach them
to pray.
Thus came into being the most
universal, the best-known, and one
of the most beloved prayers known
to Christians the world over —
the Lord's Prayer. No one who has
heard it, or uttered it, can fail to
be moved to humility by the measured 
majesty of its stances. Certainly 
no one can fail to be moved
to humility by the measured majesty 
of its stances. Certainly no
one will deny that they have many 
times, drawn comfort from the
prayers of an ancient people.
Communion with God, however,
does not necessarily have to be
couched in terms of beautiful prose.
A simple, mental word of thanks
for the safety of a loved one, for

the wonder of the senses, for all
God's bounty in a wonderful, shining 
world, is heart by God Just
cere heart, reaches God just as
prayers offered during the course
of a church service.
An anguished cry for God's help,
wrung from a despairing but sincere 
heart, reaches G od just as
surely as a more formal version.
Indeed, the very spontaneous and
informal means of communication
— in itself — denotes a more personal 
footing with God and is
therefore greatly to be desired.
But closeness denoted by personal 
communion, while it carries
its privileges — like all privilegers
— carires responsibilities. Communion 
with God — personal communication 
— sho dnot be confined 
to personal interests and
benefits alone. With it comes the
responsibility (and privilege) of
witness.
The comfort, the peace of mind,
the assurance of the forgiveness
of sins, the promise of life after
death — all these should be shared,
as should any good news ... any
good fortune, To hoard, it to oneself 
is selfishness, for as we look
around us, there are others whose
need is as great, (if not greater)
than ours.
God's love for us, and the
strength He gives us, is for all
mankind. And a dedicated Christian 
recognizes this. If he is truly
a Christian he will share with
his fellow men is personal experience 
with God.
Just as prayer cannot be separated 
from the study of the Bible,
so it Cannot be separated from the

must work for God, for where
there is talk with ut action, then
there is futility.
Therefore our communion with
God should be a living, active experience 
that spur, us to live as
Christ lived, love as Christ loved;
it should inspire as to accomplish
His work. THAT is true communication!
