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. Hall, H. P, Sharper, F. C. James and J Herbert Nelso. N.J.

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.
