Mrs. Rosa Brown Bracy

World Editor Urges Voter Registration
For Forthcoming Nov. General Election
At presstime the political atmosphere around Memphis is
fully charged. The evidence is that thousands of Memphians will
go to the polls and vote. Thousands more who have been alerted
to the importance of the vote deeply regret that they are not registered 
so that they could vote for the party and candidates of
their choice.
I therefore accept this as an opportunity to urge all adults of
Memphis who are not registered to no down to the Court House
and register today. For again the registration office is open and
will remain open every day of the week from 9 a. m. till 5 p. m.
except Saturday. This condition will remain until 21 days before
the November election.
The November Election will be important. In fact, every
election is important. The time is now that every citizen should
think of politics as necessary.
Politics has to do with our government. It will be as clean
as the men and women we elect to serve us. So lei's determine
today that we will make politics clean in Memphis, in Shelby
County, in Tennessee, in the nation and in the World.

Mississippians Show Courage
Negro leaders in Mississippi dashed hopes of the state's
official leaders that voluntary segregation of the races in the
state's public schools was likely.
Some ninety leaders of Mississippi's million Negro residents,
told the Legal Educational Advisory Committee the state should not
side-step the historic Supreme Court decision.
Counterwise, a resolution Was read by E. W. Banks, an
undertaker, passed by the Negro group asking state leaders "to
endorse and abide by" the segregation ruling.
Said Dr. T. R. M. Howard: "The Negroes have not come here
to help work out a plan to circumvent or bypass the decision of
the United States Supreme Court. He told the commission that 250
residents of his home town (Mound Bayou) the only all-Negro
city in the state, voted: we could not endorse any program of
legal or voluntary segregation in Mississippi."
Only one Negro speaker urged the state to keep segregation,
another offered a compromise, but neither got favorable reaction.
Thus, it will be seen that the first blood drawn in a compromise 
meeting of the states to effect some sort of voluntary acceptance 
of what the court has outlawed, fell flat upon its face.
There is no compromise with wrong; it is seriously doubtful
that the court would countenance citizens going out seeking compromises 
with what if has thought un-American and detrimental
to the good offices of the country, in its all out reach for a democracy 
in fact.
Compromises usually lose their effectiveness and finally fall
to pieces to deliver what it sought to remedy, to be done all over
again.
It appears that the citizens of Mississippi are on at least
safe ground; that they harbor no fears as to the power of the
courts to effect the results sought through its mandate and have
that unshakable confidence that the court knew what it was
doing.
In the parlance of good procedure, a man who goes out and
compromises his case after the court has given him a verdict,
does so at his own risk.

On Home Air Raid Warnings
Civilian Defense Administrator Val Peterson, appearing, before 
Congress in an effort to get Civilian Defense funds, told
members of Congress recently that the Government is considering 
a device which would sound a warning within the home of
each citizen in a target area, in case of air attack. The warning
system would be used to evacuate highly industrialized centers
and to limit casualties from atomic attack.
Peterson said one device under study consisted of a small
device which could be installed in any room in a house and which
would set off an alarm when a change in the electric current occurred. 
In other words, an electric company could lower its current
and warn all of its users in the same few minutes.
By such methods, and other methods of mass warning and
evacuation, and by early detection of enemy air raiders, Mr.
Peterson hopes to save as many as thirty-five per cent of those
would ordinarily be killed in an atomic attack. Peterson predicts
around the borders of the United States within two years and he
thinks this would give the country's large industrial areas several
hours of warning before an atomic attack would Occur. This should
be ample time to carry out a hurried evacuation.
Although Mr. Peterson did not get the money he requested
from Congress, we believe he is working in the right direction.
It is obvious that a home warning device is the only possible
way to give all citizens an equal start toward evacuation in ease
of an emergency.
We can't help but wonder, however, what would happen
an electrical company's power was suddenly decreased by an ac
cident or failure. Conceivably thousands of people might star
evacuating the city in haste, accidents might occur and heart at
tacks might result in considerable numbers. No doubt a was
could be found to avert such a comedy, and, indeed, the subject
is not one to be treated lightly. In fact, we believe most Ameri
cans treat the threat of atomic attack too lightly and hat the na
tion's industry should be dispersed, and the nation's citizens by
given adequate evacuation and warning plans and programs
as soon as possible.

Blasts Cook's Refusal
To Invite Atty. General
In a
strong letter to Georgia Attorney
General Eugene Cook. New York
Atty. Gen. Nathaniel L. Goldstein
accused him of making a "terrible
blunder" when, as president of the
National Association of Attorneys
General, he refused to invite U. S.
Atty. Gen. Herbert Brownell to
speak at the association's coining
annual convention.
Atty. Gen. Goldstein revealed that
Mr. Cook "announced he would ignore 
the time-honored practice of
inviting the United States attorney
to speak." Mr. Cook's announcement

came on June 24.
His reasons were (according to
Mr. Goldstein) based on Brownell's
filing of a brief to the Supreme
Court favoring the abolition of segregation 
in public education.
Mr. Cook further asserted that
because of this Mr. Brownell's presence 
Would be offensive to the host
state to the convention, Mississippi.
Mr. Cook also scathed the Attorney
General for the speech in which one
of his assistants explored a controversy 
involving the Attorney General 
of South Dakota last year.
In  letter, he stat
ed 
that the question of Mr. Brown 
appearance would have to be
acted upon by the association's executive 
committee.
Mr. Goldstein's letter to Mr. Cook
further said:
"You fail to realize that you are
acting in a dual capacity as attorney 
general of Georgia and as president 
of the National Association
of Attorney's, General.
"As attorney general of Georgia,
you are entitled to your opinion,
however untenable it may be. The
court of last resort has spoken.
"But when you speak as the president 
of the association, you have no
right to arrogate unto yourself who
shall and who shall not be invited
to our functions."
Mr. Cook made no reply to the
letter.

LETTERS TO THE

The example that the Mississippi
Negro is giving the nation should
be not only studied but copied by
the other Southern States.
On the question of race, the
main trouble in the South has been
that the states have had no despect 
for law many of them believing 
even yet that a Negro has
no rights which a white man is
bound to respect.
An example was shown in Memphis, 
Tennessee when Chief Deputy 
Marshall. Clifford J. West
(white) quit his job because Raymond 
Lymon was appointed Deputy 
Marshall in the same office.
What is so pitiful about this affair
is that West probably thinks he is
right, he probably has never lived
in a community where justice is
meted out to the Negro.
Backward, out of date, blundering 
and probably since Governor
Hugh White, of Mississippi, met
with a delegation of Mississippi Negroes, 
the purpose was to try and
see what disrespect could be given
to the Supreme Court Decision
which ended segregation. It is hard
to imagine a Governor who has
taken oath of office asking citizens
to accept his planned violation of
the law and to their own detriment.
Dr. T. M. R. Howard, of Mound
Bayou. Mississippi told the Governor 
that the delegation was not
there to help him to dodge the
Supreme Court Decision Mr. E.
M. Boules, a Jackson, Mississippi,
undertaker presented a resolution
asking all citizens to endorse and
abide by the decision of the Supreme 
Court. If the decision had
been against the Negroes, interest,
Governor White would have been
ready and anxious to carry it out.
J. W. Jones, teacher, in Union
County said, "We do not want to
go to white schools," His opinion
did not represent five per cent of
the community or the committee.
A Shubuta, Mississippi, Biology
teacher is making a "Keep Segregation 
Tour."
Jim Crow and, Segregation are
dead but the ghost will continue to
haunt us until the Negro leaders
in the South learn that they have
nothing to gain themselves in segregation. 
It will boil down to a case
of the survival is the littlest, any
business concern which can meet
competition will survive. Those that
can't meet the present competition
have no right to survive.
Yes, let the Southern states follow 
and learn from Mississippi.
Memphis win he greatly, benefited
if it would follow and study examples 
set in Mississippi. Many of
the border states have held workshops 
on "Human Relations"...
Whites and Negroes took part in
them and the results have been extremely 
good. Memphis is ready
for such a workshop now, but it
is without leadership which is so
courageous or so far sighted. It
was shown in a panel at the Clavborne 
Temple A. M. E. Church.
Which was composed of white and
Negro professors of local colleges.
The white intellectuals are ready
to go forward.

subversive individuals and groups
rather than by loyal District citizens. 

Mrs. Henry A. Barlett, president
of the Federation, said she was
not charging those individuals and
organizations as being Communists, 
but "more un-American than
Communist."
In spite of the Federation's announcement 
that it has retained
an attorney to file suit for an injunction 
against the hoard and
superintendent to prohibit them
from putting into effect current
plans for partial integration this
fall the D. G. and Maryland school
administrators went right on with
their discussion Friday morning on
says and means of carrying out
the Supreme Court's de-segregation 
decision.
Dr. Butcher criticized District
school  what she 
ed their "gradual" stops toward in
. The officials should
make in their minds what they
are going to do she said make a
clean cut statement on their policy. 

Integration can be carried out
by making four decisive steps. She
added they 
(1) Insist on the child going to

the school nearest his home;
(2) Allow no options;
(3) Prohibit "special" cases; and
(4) See that integration works
both ways. This should be a giveand-take 
process, she added, with
white children entering what were
formerly Negro schools, as well as
Negro children entering schools
which were formerly white.
Fischer explained that hi, school
system would drop all racial bars
in September. He said that Baltimore 
had never had any rigid
school boundaries. That students
would, be permitted to go to any
school they wish, this fall with
the exception or cases where
buildings are overcrowded.
Schmidt, who heads the Superintendents' 
committee on segregation 
in Maryland, Said his group
is currently gathering information 
to be used in the brief which
the State's attorney will submit to
the Supreme Court in October.
He pointed out that integration
presents different problems, most
ly 
financial, in the rural districts
of Maryland than in the cities.
Concerted communities action is
needed, he said, if integration is
to work.
Templeton Said integration does
not mean mixing; it is only "a
positive thing in which opportunity 
is limited only by ability or
qualification."
He claimed that the greatest
need at this time is a responsible
group which will make the facts
known to the community.
Henderson outlined the 13-point
program which the ACHR has recently 
published in a brochure on
"Integrating Our Schools." This
booklet, which has been sent to
all local ACHR Councils and other
organizations, is important in
helping communities effect a rapid

The Doctor Disagrees
By Elizabeth Selfert
Copyright 1963, 
Distributed by King Features Syndicate
SHELLY sat thoughtful for a
minute. Then she opened a drawer, 
took out her straw purse, laid
it on the record folder and dialed
the telephone.
She asked if she could see Mr.
Carr if she came to the plant.
Mr. Carr would see her.
At the plant. Shelly was told to
go directly to Mr. Carr's office,
and a dozen people spoke to her as
she went through to its door,
opened, it, Pour men rose at her
entrance. Everett. E.J., Williard
and Mr. Jarvis, who was the plant
lawyer.
Everett came to her, and went
through the motion of kissing her.
"I didn't know you'd got back,"
he said, almost angrily.
Shelly smiled. "I got back about
four yesterday. It was not in St.
Louis."
"Shelly—" E. J. blurted, and his
father scowled at him.
"This is no time to pussyfoot!"
cried the son. "Shelly, can you
tell us where Talboy is?"
"Why, yes," she said quietly.
"He went to Chicago on business.
He left late Sunday evening—he
told Mrs. Vandable..."
There was an itchy silence in
the big office. Shelly sat down,
and the men resumed their chairs.
She laid the folder on the desk.
"Miss Browne," she said calmly,
"Dr. Talboy's office nurse—told me
a little of the trouble here—what
she knew—that this man had been
told he had a legal case against
the company."
Jarvis made a gobbling sound.
"I brought the record over,"
said Shelly. "It contains all the
data on him, all his examinations
and X-ray reports, records of his
voice, made three months ago,
with the notation—" She glanced
at her father-in-law, then at the
lawyer "—that Dr. Talboy feared
pulmonary involvement. There's
also a note to the effect that the
man still refused to use the thera
peutic measures provided by the
Refractory against silicosis."
Would they recognize Craig's foresight 
in keeping this record?
"We're glad to have that material," 
said Everett quickly.
"Oh, yes!" agreed Jarvis.
"I don't see how they can think
they have a case!" decided Willard. 

"Lewis advised him that he did,"
said E.J. morosely. "What we
want to know is this—did Talboy
make Evans stand out in the rain
Sunday afternoon and help him
with the fellow who was hurt?"
Shelly looked blank. "I must
have missed out on something,"
she said in a puzzled tone. "You
see, I was gone Sunday—"
They all helped tell her of the
man asleep on the tracks, of the
way Dr. Talboy had saved him
from further Injury, and then had
done a fine job of amputating the
crushed leg....
"Well," she said, pointedly, "it's
a good thing that he was in town
Sunday!"
The men all stopped to look at
her. Thoughtfully.
"What'd he go to Chicago for?"
E.J. demanded.
"I don't know. He didn't tell

Myra. Just that he could be
reached at the Stevens,"
"I thought you twp had eloped,"
said Willard with heavy humor,
"when you both turned up missing." 

Shelly laughed prettily. "Well,
that would be a juicy tale!" she
agreed. "I'm sorry to spoil it. But
a long habit of telling the truth
makes me admit that I went to
St. Louis—and alone." She saw
her opening and took it Looking
innocently around, she continued.
"You see, my uncle had heard of
a new medical technique which he
thought might help Mother. He
wanted to try it, and I decided it
would be best to discuss it with
him in person. I really wished
Stephen were here! I knew so
little — but Uncle Adolphe was not
bothered by such a handicap. He
always knows the right person to
consult, and even though it was
Sunday, we got a medical consulTation—and 
were advised not to
attempt the treatment."
It was, certainly, the longest
speech she had ever made beforeor 
with, Stephen's family. The
three men looked a little blank.
"I had never let myself put
much hope into it," she reassured
them. "But Uncle hoped it would
be successful, because he's afraid
the Rideouts are liable to cerebral
hemorrhage. He was pretty depressed 
Sunday night: I was glad
to point out to him that the ones
in the family who had bad strokes
were the ones who took least care
of their health, an uncle who
drank too much, and my mother
who worked and fretted too much.
But Uncle Adolphe—"
Everett Carr coughed. Shelly
glanced at Him, and tensely
clasped her Hands upon her purse.
"Are you talking about Adolphe
Rideout in St, Louis?" he demanded. 

"Why, yes. Do you know him?
But, of course, you do! He
says..."
"The Rideout Chemical company, 
Jarvis," Everett explained
to all the other men. "The family
settled St. Louis—you say he's
your uncle, Shelly?"
"He's a cousin of my mother's.
But, in our family, children call
all the older men 'Uncle.'"
"First cousin?"
"Yes." Her eyes held a question. 
E.J. and Willard were looking 
at her as if they expected a
bomb to explode at any minuteOr, 
she thought later, as if they
were ready to demand documentary 
proof. Everett leaned back
in his chair.
"Docs Stevie know Adolphe
Rideout..." he gulped, "... is
your cousin?"
"Well, yes, I think Stephen does
know. Not that it makes any difference," 
she said demurely. "Stephen 
is no snob."
Everett took a deep, steadying
breath, "He should have told us,"
he said coldly.
"Why?"
"Well—" Everett moved things
about on his big desk. "No reason,
I guess. But, well—you see, I
thought there was only you and
your mother—in the way of family, 
I mean."
That's all there really is," Snelly 
agreed pleasantly. She stood up,
turned to Mr. Jarvis. "I thought
perhaps—in case there was a lawsuit, 
you'd want to have photostatic 
copies made of this record.
Don't let it get lost Dr. Talboy
would be angry if anything happened 
to his files; he's so painstaking 
with them." She walked
out of the room, with four stunned
men watching.
"By gum!" said Everett "I
knew she had good blood—the first
time I saw her walk!"
Excitement fizzing in her veins,
Shelly went back to the office and
put in a call for Craig. By early
afternoon, she reached him, and
then remembered to talk guardedly. 
Something had come up, she
told him, some trouble...
"With you?" he broke in, his
tone anxious, ready—
"No," she answered serenely,
then added, "except that I'm still
fighting on your side. This was at
the plant."
"What about your own square
of canvas?"
"Oh that bell has been ringing
every five minutes since I've been
home. And I'm doing fine!"
His deep chuckle vibrated across
the wires. "Good! Well, I've some
appointments—but I'll try to get
there tomorrow evening. Or early
on Thursday, sure."
"That'll be fine, doctor," she answered. 
"Goodby."
He reached Norfolk the next,
night, and drove straight to Shelly's 
house: there were lights downstairs 
and be went in. Donald
greeted his friends effusively—for
Donald—and Ike brought the doctor 
a stein of cold beer. Myra sat
where she could be seen through
a window by any interested passers-by. 

Craig looked a little tired, but
not especially worried over what
Shelly might be going to tell him.
However, when she had finished
her account of the Bob Evans situation, 
he drained his mug, and set
it on the tray with a crash.
His black eyes were like coals.
"How's the chap whose leg I took
off Sunday evening?" he asked
tightly.
The Vandables and Shelly looked
at him, astonished.
Craig got to his feet and began
to pace around the room; the windows 
were open, and before one of
them a fan blew softly. "I'm not
crazy," be threw at his listeners.
"On Sunday, Bob Evans helped me
care for that black boy: I thought
he had a changed opinion of me as
a doctor. I confess I asked him to
help me so that he might see me
in a different light; he's made
plenty of trouble for me with the
men. So tell me! What happened?
Did the fella die?"
"He's doing fine," said Shelly
gravely. "But I can tell you what
happened to Evans."
"Shelly, honey..." protested
Myra, as she might have warned
a child against going too close to
a red-hot stove.
Shelly smiled wanly, and brushed 
a lock of hair away from her
face. "He has to know—he'll find
out In fact he knows already."


CHAPTER THIRTY NINE
By Elizabeth Selfert

Distributed by King Features Syndicate
SHELLY sat thoughtful for a
minute. Then she opened a drawer, 
took out her straw purse, laid
it on the record folder and dialed
the telephone.
She asked if she could see Mr.
Carr if she came to the plant.
Mr. Carr would see her.
At the plant. Shelly was told to
go directly to Mr. Carr's office,
and a dozen people spoke to her as
she went through to its door,
opened, it, Pour men rose at her
entrance. Everett. E.J., Williard
and Mr. Jarvis, who was the plant
lawyer.
Everett came to her, and went
through the motion of kissing her.
"I didn't know you'd got back,"
he said, almost angrily.
Shelly smiled. "I got back about
four yesterday. It was not in St.
Louis."
"Shelly—" E. J. blurted, and his
father scowled at him.
"This is no time to pussyfoot!"
cried the son. "Shelly, can you
tell us where Talboy is?"
"Why, yes," she said quietly.
"He went to Chicago on business.
He left late Sunday evening—he
told Mrs. Vandable..."
There was an itchy silence in
the big office. Shelly sat down,
and the men resumed their chairs.
She laid the folder on the desk.
"Miss Browne," she said calmly,
"Dr. Talboy's office nurse—told me
a little of the trouble here—what
she knew—that this man had been
told he had a legal case against
the company."
Jarvis made a gobbling sound.
"I brought the record over,"
said Shelly. "It contains all the
data on him, all his examinations
and X-ray reports, records of his
voice, made three months ago,
with the notation—" She glanced
at her father-in-law, then at the
lawyer "—that Dr. Talboy feared
pulmonary involvement. There's
also a note to the effect that the
man still refused to use the thera
peutic measures provided by the
Refractory against silicosis."
Would they recognize Craig's foresight 
in keeping this record?
"We're glad to have that material," 
said Everett quickly.
"Oh, yes!" agreed Jarvis.
"I don't see how they can think
they have a case!" decided Willard. 

"Lewis advised him that he did,"
said E.J. morosely. "What we
want to know is this—did Talboy
make Evans stand out in the rain
Sunday afternoon and help him
with the fellow who was hurt?"
Shelly looked blank. "I must
have missed out on something,"
she said in a puzzled tone. "You
see, I was gone Sunday—"
They all helped tell her of the
man asleep on the tracks, of the
way Dr. Talboy had saved him
from further Injury, and then had
done a fine job of amputating the
crushed leg....
"Well," she said, pointedly, "it's
a good thing that he was in town
Sunday!"
The men all stopped to look at
her. Thoughtfully.
"What'd he go to Chicago for?"
E.J. demanded.
"I don't know. He didn't tell

Myra. Just that he could be
reached at the Stevens,"
"I thought you twp had eloped,"
said Willard with heavy humor,
"when you both turned up missing." 

Shelly laughed prettily. "Well,
that would be a juicy tale!" she
agreed. "I'm sorry to spoil it. But
a long habit of telling the truth
makes me admit that I went to
St. Louis—and alone." She saw
her opening and took it Looking
innocently around, she continued.
"You see, my uncle had heard of
a new medical technique which he
thought might help Mother. He
wanted to try it, and I decided it
would be best to discuss it with
him in person. I really wished
Stephen were here! I knew so
little — but Uncle Adolphe was not
bothered by such a handicap. He
always knows the right person to
consult, and even though it was
Sunday, we got a medical consulTation—and 
were advised not to
attempt the treatment."
It was, certainly, the longest
speech she had ever made beforeor 
with, Stephen's family. The
three men looked a little blank.
"I had never let myself put
much hope into it," she reassured

principles," Judge Sloan said.

Holmes. Through their attorneys
