Humphrey Confident Senate
Will Approve Civil Rights
Senate Majority Whip Hubert H.
Humphrey (D.-Minn.) expressed
confidence Monday that the Civil
Rights Bill will be "passed by
Spring as a national memorial to
the memory of the late President
Kennedy."
In a speech prepared for delivery
at a Greek Independence Day celebration 
in Boston, Humphrey said
the bill will pass because "a great
national consensus is growing" in
its behalf.
The Minnesota Democrat said this
consensus "is demanding that the
Congress guarantee the equal protection 
of the laws declared in our
Constitution to every American regardless 
of his race, his color, or
his creed or national origin."
Humphrey recalled President
Kennedy's words uttered last June
in his nation - wide civil rights

address, and said they apply just
as strongly today:
"This is our country. It has become 
cur country because of all of
us and all the people who came
here and an equal chance to develop 
their talents. We cannot say
to the per cent of the population
that, you can't have that right;
that your children can't have the
change to develop whatever talents
they have; that the only way that
they are going to get their rights
is to go into the streets and demonstrate. 
I think we owe them and
ourselves a better country than
that."
Humphrey added that the Negro's
goals today, are the same goals
sought by the Greek patriots during 
the revolution that led to
Greek freedom in 1821.

GREETS CANCER-CURED —
At the White House recently, Mrs. Lyndon 
B. Johnson, Honorary Chairman of the American Cancer
Society Crusade, received two of the more than 1,200,000 Americans 
who are cured of cancer. Mrs. Ann P. Walls, a practical
nurse, Washington, D.C., and Laura Lee Greathouse, 10–years
old, of Parkersburg, West Virginia, presented the American Cancer's 
"Sword of Hope," symbol of the agency's fight against
cancer. The sword is carved of native Texas cedar and its presentation 
dramatizes the 1964 Cancer Crusade which began Apr. 1,
Cancer Control Month.
Mrs. Walls first discovered she had cancer of the uterus in
1954. She was treated by radiation and surgery and has been
leading a busy life as a practical nurse ever since. Laura Lee
Greathouse was operated on for a neuroblastoma—cancer of the
nervous system—when she was 18-months old. She is a healthy,
active school, girl.

De Facto School
J'Crow Attacked
In the first
case of its kind to reach the United 
States Supreme Court, the National 
Association for the Advancement 
of Colored People has asked
the High Court to review a lower
court judgment which held de facto
of school segregation constitutional.
The ultimate decision in this suit
is expected to have a vital and farreaching 
impact on the course of the
school desegregation struggle
in all non-southern communities.
The petition is for review of a
case originating in Gary, Ind. Filed
in the Supreme Court on March
30, by NAACP General Counsel
Robert L. Carter, it asks the Justices
of that Court to hear argument on
an appeal from a decision handed
down, Oct. 31, 1963, by the U. S.
Court of Appeals for the Seventh

Circuit.
That decision affirmed a District
Court ruling which held that the
Gary School Board was under no
legal obligation to end defacto segregation 
in schools under its jurisdiction. 

The Appeals Court decision sustained 
the lower court conclusion
that racial imbalance in the Gary
schools resulted from housing conditions 
and that the school lines
had not been drawn "for the purpose 
of including or excluding children 
of certain races."

Half Million Dollar Grant For
Heart Study At Tuskegee, Howard
Receipt
of a near half-million dollar grant
to support a seven-year study on
the functioning of the heart was
announced April by scientists from
Tuskegee (Ala.) Institute and
Howard University, Washington,
D. C.
Awarded by the National Institutes 
of Health, the $469,000 grant
supports the study entitled "Movements 
of the Mitnal Valve." Codirectors 
of the research are: Dr.
Walter C. Bowie, professor and
head of the Department of Physiology 
and Pharmacology, School of
Veterinary Medicine, Tuskegee; and
Dr. Edward W. Hawthorne, professsor 
and head of the Department of
Physiology, College of Medicine, at
Howard.
Under the terms of the grant a
new research center will be established 
at Tuskegee. The center with
house a cardio-vascular laboratory
where experimental animals will be
tested and observed. For the purposes 
of the study, the scientists
will work with horses.
According to the investigators
their research will involve a study
of the functioning of the heart of
intact, awake horses and the application 
of their findings to the functioning 
of the human heart. Both
organs are constructed alike and
function similarly, Drs. Bowie and
Hawthorne said.
They have selected the horse for
experimentation because of the size
of its heart, six to eight times larger 
than the human heart.

country of the damaging educational,
economic, and cultural poverty
that is the heritage of too many
Americans, both Negro and white,'
said Henry T. Heald, president of
the Foundation. "The problem includes 
both reducing barriers to integration 
in the schools and improving 
the whole spectrum of edu
cational 
opportunity for disadvantaged 
members of society. This
means better teaching, better guidance, 
and expanded avenues to
attainment. And these are challenges 
to the North as well as to
the South."
For programs in the South, the
Foundation granted $500,000 to help
launch a joint school - improvement 
center in Nashville, Tennessee. 
The center will be conducted
by George Peabody College for
Teachers, Fisk and Vanderbilt Univerisities 
and the Nashville and
Davidson County Public Schools,
focusing on schools attended prinarily 
by Negroes, the center's activities 
will include in - service
raining of teachers, remedial
courses in English and mathematics 
and special courses for superior
students, improved student - counting
programs, and scholarship
aid to enable needy students to
continue in school.
The center will also provide
looks and other teaching materials
and will support adult - education
programs to strengthen community
merest in the schools and parental
motivation for the education of
their children. The center's activity 
will be developed under a committee 
representing the cooperating
universities and schools, which will
appoint a director.
Another Foundation action in the
Nashville area was a $120,000 grant
to Vanderbilt for continued support
to its teacher - education program.
The university plans to expand
the number of Negro candidates for
the Master of Arts in Teaching degree 
and to place teacher interns
in predominantly Negro high
schools.
The Foundation granted $150,000
to the Southern Association of Colleges 
and Schools for an eightstate 
program to identify talented
Negro and white seventh-or eighthgrade 
children from deprived families, 
and work with them and their
parents throughout their high school 
years with the aim of placing 
them in college. Pupils from
ten public school systems will be
selected for guidance and counseling 
eighteen participating colleges 
and universities and the Berea
Preparatory School, Kentucky. Most
of the grant will be used for the
services of guidance personnel, possibly 
including returning Peace
Corps veterans. Part of the funds
will underwrite boarding - school
scholarships first students with severe 
environmental handicaps.
The institutions include:
Berea College, Kv.
Centre College, Ky.;
Davidson College, N. C.;
Dillard University, La.;

Tells Experience
At Predominantly
Minority School
It is,
perhaps, a sign of the times that at
a mass meeting to launch the United 
Negro College Fund's 1961 drive
for $3 million, the most impressive 
speaker was a young white man
who described his feelings on being
a student at u predominantly Negro 
university in the south.
The Fund, with a theme of "Beyond 
Tokenism: The Advance To
Full Equality," invited some 2,000
white and Negro guests who came
to the Hunter College auditorium
this week (Tuesday) as it begin another 
annual search for the millions 
to be used by the 32 southern
colleges — members of the Fund.
Nearly all of the Fund colleges'
presidents were on the stage.
Lawton, a stocky, soft - spoken
native of New Hampshire, said he
decided "to go to the south to clear
the New England cobwebs out of
my head and to get an education."
He said the most important factor
in his southern experience was his
"human involvement" with his fellow 
students and with the critical
issue of the day — segregation.

"This Evening," said Simple, "I feel like talking about the
word black."
"Nobody's slopping you, so go ahead. But what you really
ought to hove is a soapbox out on the corner of 126th and Lenox
where the rest of the orators hang out."
"They express some good ideas
on that corner, said Simple, "but
for my ideas I do not need a crowd.
Now, as I was saying, the word
black, white folk have done used
that word to mean something bad
so often until now when the NAACP
asks for civil rights for the black
man they think that must be bad.
Looking back into history, I recond
it all started with a black cat meaning 
bad luck. Don't let one cross
your path.
"Next, somebody got a black-list
on which you get if you don't vote
right. Then when lodges came into
being, the folks they, didn't want
in them got black-balled. If you
kept a skeleton in your closet, you
might get black-mailed. And everything 
bad was black. When it came
down to the unlucky ball on the
pool table, the eightrock they made
it the black ball. So no wonder
there ain't no equal rights for the
black man."
 "Al! you say is true about the
idiom attached to the word black."
I said "You've even forgotten a
few. For example, during the war
if you bought something under the
table illegally, they said you were
trading on the black market. In
Chicago, if you're a gangster the
Black Hand Society may take you
for a ride. And certainly, if you
don't behave yourself, your family
will say you are a black sheep.
Then if your mama bums a black
candle to change the family luck,
they call it blackmagic."
"My mama never did believe in
voodoo so she did not burn no black
candles," said Simple.
"If she had, that would have been
a black mark against her."
"Stop talking' about my mama.
What I want to know is, where do
white folks get off calling everything 
bad black? if it is a dark
night, they say it's black as hell,
if you are mean and evil, they say
you got a black heart. I would like

to change all that around and say
that people who Jim Crow me
have got a white heart. People who
sell dope to children have got a
white mark against them. And all
the white gamblers who are behind
the basketball fix are the white
sheep of the sports world. God
knows there was few if any, Negroes 
selling stuff on the black
market during the war, so why
didn't they call it a white market?
No they got to take me and my
color and turn it into everything
bad! According to white folks, black
is bad.
"Wait' til my day comes! In my
language, bad will be white. Blackmail 
will he white mail Black cats
will be good luck, and white cats
will be bad. If a white cat crosses
your path, look out! I will take the
black ball for the cue ball and let
the white ball be the unlucky eight
rock. And on my blacklist - which
it will be a white list then - I will
put everybody who ever Jim Crowed 
me from Rankin to Hitler, Talmadge 
to Milan, South Carolina to
South, Africa.
"I am black. When I look in
the minor, I see myself, daddy, but
I am net ashame. God made me. He
also made F. D. dark as he is. He
did not make us no badder than
the rest of the folks. The earth is
black and all kinds of good things
come out of the earth, Trees and
flowers and fruit and sweet potatoes
and corn and all that keeps people
alive comes right up out of the
earth - good old black earth. Coal
is black and it warms your house
and cooks your food. The night is
black, which has a moon and a million 
stars, and it is beautiful.
Sleep is black which gives you
rest, so you wake up feeling good,
I am black. I feel good this evening.
