Tennessee Stands Apart

Five Southern Governors met yesterday in Richmond, Va., to
discuss a course of unified action against the Supreme Court order
forbidding segregation of the races in the public schools. Conspicous 
by his absence was Gov. Frank G. Clement of Tennessee. He
does not believe that his state should defy the high court.
Last year Governor Clement became the first Southern Governor 
to veto a segregation bill. He blocked a move to permit local
superintendents to assign children to Negro or while schools. Then
last Monday several hundred segregationists bore down on the
State House in Nashville demanding that he "lead the fight for
states' rights."
Governor Clement faced the delegation and rejected its demand 
that he call a special legislative session to nullify the Supreme 
Court order. Standing beside him was his Attorney General, 
who said he personally favored segregation, but "we have in
this country a government by law, not by men." The Governor
said he did not intend to rush into racial integration, but he did
plan to make a start in the colleges.
The segregation demonstrators in Nashville bore banners
with slogans that indicated extremism. "Segregation or War," was
one, and another was: "Wanted, a Decent Governor." The extremists, 
of course, make the loudest noise and undoubtedly attract 
followers just because of their fanaticism. The calm, courageous 
stand of Governor Clement is in marked contrast to the attitude 
of the five other Southern Governors (from Virginia, North
and South Carolina, Mississippi and Georgia) who put their heads
together in Richmond. It is a pity that they, too, did not venture on
the same course of leadership that Governor Clement chose. They
might have turned many people toward the side of moderation
instead of extremism.

Menigomery Has An Opportunity
Surely such a peaceful neighbor as Montgomery, Alabama
has no desire to enter competition with another neighbor, the
state of Mississippi for the unfavorable headlines rendering that
state such a painful disservice.
Since early in December, Montgomery has been in the
picture as one of those municipalities where a reasonable grievance 
of her colored population has gone unmet. The situation has
been allowed to drag along to a near violent state.
Upon the arrest and subsequent fining of Mrs. Rosa Parks, a
Negro seamstress for the alleged refusal to surrender her seat to
a white man. They felt that such treatment visited upon Negro
patrons had reached the straining point and with no other immediate 
effective weapon, a boycott of the buses was resorted
to.
The grieved citizens luckily selected as their leader, Dr. M. L.
King, Jr., pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, who in cool
deliberations made appeal after appeal in an effort to ameliorate 
the situation. All through the struggle he possessed himself
with dignity and patience and rendered credit to the cause of
the citizens and the city at large for his reasonableness and cool
demeanor.
The citizens asked three things: The seating of passengers in
the order of their arrival; more courtesy exercised on the part of
drivers and the employment of Negro drivers in predominantly
Negro settlements.
Any fair-minded person will see no unreasonableness of the
request made by the Negro citizens of Montgomery.
Certainly no breach of policy and no serious hindrance in the
Service would obtain from this modest appeal.
As the affair enters into its third month, there is apparently
no letup in its intensity; those who had the opportunity of settling
the affair before it reached such a critical crisis refused proper
action.
Appeal after appeal was made to the authorities; the city's
Mayor Gayle to the contrary is reported to have initiated a "get
tough" policy which had its timely reactions of more strained
relations. Hence, subsequent to his "get tough" speech, the home
of the Rev. King, Jr., was bombed.
It is highly hoped that the Mayor will exercise his high
powers in the direction of the peace of the city and the safety
of its citizens; that his good offices and influences may be of such
as to occasion peace between the colored citizens and the transit
company and in the meantime realize that the reasonable requests
they have made for the peace of all concerned, would enhance
the city's usefulness far more then the bombing of the home of
a law-abiding citizen.
Surely Montgomery will find no pleasure in revenging such
a fine opportunity of its own making.

Dr. Reddick Analyzes

racist platform, if they would be
elected."
The governor is popular with the
musts, Dr Reddick said, but he's
hiving difficulty with the legislature. 
However, none of this seems
to make him take a racist attitude, 
he pointed out.
Dr. Reddick said' that although
sentiment for nullification has
developed in several Southern
state, Folsom has announced the
move as "Hogwash."
"As a student of history." Dr.
Reddick said, "we thought that the
nullification question had been settled 
in 1838 when President Andrew
Jackson notified John C. Calhoun
that federal troops would be sent
into South Carolina if necessary, in
order that federal law, prevail there
as elsewhere."
Moving into the issues of Montgomery, 
Dr. Reddick said, "The
ancient figure of speech is quite
apt here: "The eyes of the world
are on Montgomery."
The historian told how national
newspapers and magazines have
taken an briefest in current issues
there. He added:
"It may well be that the Negroes
of Montgomery art defining for us
all, the form and the nature of
the negro's response to the present
crisis in race relations."
He went to the source of the
trouble in Montomery. He said the
visitor to the city before last De
cember 
would have been "astounded 
to see Negroes packed and Jammed 
in the city's buses during the
rush hours, standing up, hanging
on straps from ceiling, not sitting
down in empty seats beneath them
in the front of the coach. The
front seats were reserved for white
people." The job of seating was
left with the bus driver, he said,
and bus operators would demand
that Negroes keep in a certain section 
of the bus. These demands,
he added, were all too often "insulting." 
This continued until the
present movement went into effect
December 1, 1955.
In thier protests. Negroes asked
for three things:
Courteous treatment by bus operators; 
that passengers be seated
on a first come-first served basis
and that Negro bus operators be
employed, on buses that serve predominantly 
Negro neighborhoods.
For nine weeks now the ex-bus
riders have stuck it out and refused 
to go along with requests of
city officials.
Dr. Reddick says the boycott is
successful, first of all, because it
was a "real grievance Second, because 
the lenders have not competed
against etch other. Third, because
the whole Negro community im
cooperated. Fourth, because Montgomery 
is a compact little city,
many people could walk to town
anyway Fifth, because transportation 
pools have been set up for
those having to ride.
"As we see it," Dr. Reddick old
the immediate objectives of the bus
boycott are limited objectives. This

is important," he added "in that
this is a demonstration of the organization 
discipline, leadership
and sustained morale of the Negro
people, that if necessary will be
called upon for bigger things to
come."
Attempts by the commission
to negotiate with Negroes for a
settlement have been unsuccessful.
City officials have even gone so
far as to announce that an agreement 
had been reached, but Negroes 
failed to follow this "fake"
settlement.
"Since then the police have been
harassing and arresting Negro
automobile drivers, some of whom
have not had a traffic ticket in
years," he pointed out. He added
that some of the buses have even
been put back on the line but that
Negroes continue to ignore them.
But inflammatory appeals have
borne some fruit, the speaker said
He referred to a stick of dynamite
thrown on the front porch of Dr.
King, chief spokesman for the
movement. He said, here again.
Negroes have met this provocation
with discipline and have not yet
launched a counter offensive.
Negro citizens have followed the
calm and "intelligent advice" of
Dr. King in that "no violence
should be initiated by Negroes."
With this the young minister has
taken even a more firm stand on
the bus protest. He said violent
action by those who threw the dynamite 
has only served to intensify
the will of the people to carry on
their boycott.
At the end of the question and
answer period, Rev. M. L. King
Sr., father of the young minister.

spoke briefly on his recent visit
to Montgomery Rev. King admitted 
that the situation in Montgomery 
was tense, but that he had
faith and hope in the ultimate out
come. He also praised Governor
Folsom for being an "honest, governor." 

Suggestion from Dr. Brawley of
Clark College brought applause
when he asked that financial assistance 
be sent to the people of
Montgomery.
Dr. Reddick called the picture of
Alabama and specifically that in
Montgomery "a classic struggle for
democracy and human dignity. It
is a struggle." he added, "in which
we are all involved. It is a strugle
that could do with legal and financial 
assistance It is magnificent.
It must not fail Victory at Montgomery 
means victory for us all."

Letters To
The Editor
Dear Editor:
The annual observance of Negro
History Week has become traditional 
in many schools and colleges as
well as civic organizations throughout 
the United States. The Association 
for the study of Negro Life and
History, a non-profit, scientific organization 
is dedicated to the task
of disseminating documented evidence 
of the contributions of the
Negro to civilization. While it maintains 
that only through the daily
continuation of this program can
it correct the evils of intolerance.
The setting aside of a "Week" to
dramatize some broad civic movement 
is an old American custom.
Just as Education Week. Boy Scout
Week, Brotherhood Week, and many
others have grown through the
years; so has Negro History Week
become by far the greatest stimulus
of the Association. Despite this fact.
most text books and courses of study
in our public schools either distort
or omit the truth about the Negro,
and so it is more essential than ever
that we tell our story with truth
and dignity.
The date and theme this year
are: February 12-19, 1956: "Negro
History in an Era of Clanging Human 
Relations."
KNOWLEDGE IS TRUTH, HELP
US SPREAD IT!
Very truly yours,
Charles H. Wesley, president.

its moderator, marking the first
time that a Negro has served as
moderator.
The Rev. Mr. Boyce, one of two

Negro ministers in the 100 year-old
Brazos Presbytery, is the longtime
pastor of Houston's Pinecrest Presbyterian 
Church.
The new moderator, 65, is a native

Mrs. King said, news of the bombing 
brought a milling throng of
nearly 400 Negroes some of whom
came armed — apparently prepared 
to protect their leader. It
took, a dramatic "peace speech" by
her husband, she said, to quiet the
people who gathered outside.
Before the smoke of the bomb
cleared, Mayor Gayle and Police
Commissioner Sellers arrived to
make "flowery speeches on protection" 
for the Kings, the minister's
wife continued, but the "people were
not going to listen to them, "It was
then that my husband spoke," she
said.
The 27-year-old minister was
quoted as saying:
"We believe in law and order
Don't get panicky. Don't do anything 
panicky at all. Don't get your
weapons. He who lives by the sword
will perish by the sword. Remember
that is what God said.
"We are not advocating violence

want you to love our enemies. He

them know you love them I did
not start this boycott. I was asked
by you to serve as spokesman. I
want it to be known the length
and breadth of this land that if I
am stopped, this movement will not
stop. If I am stopped our work will
not stop. For what we me doing is
light. What we are doing is just,
and God is with us."
The crowd cheered "God bless
you, Brother King," "Amen."
Rev. King arrived 15 minutes after 
the explosion. He had been to a
mass meeting attended by some 2,000 
Negroes at a local church. The
bomb was probably a hand grenade
or a half stick of dynamite, accord
ing 
to Vann Pruitt, assistant state
toxicologist.
Neighbors reportedly saw a white
man toss the bomb on the porch
and then jump into a light colored
automobile that sped away.
The Montgomery city commission
termed the bombing of the minister's 
home a "strange and foreign"
deed, and warned that such violence
"will not be tolerated by the board
of commissioners."
The board posted a $500 reward
for information leading to the arrest 
and conviction of the responsible 
party, and the pro-segregation
Central Alabama Citizens Committee 
offered another $500 reward.
All three members of the Montgomery 
City Commission belong lo
the Citizen's Council, which is pledged 
to preserve racial segregation.
The mayor promised police protection 
for the Kings and asked
"the cooperation of the entire community 
to find the guilty parties."
The Kings home is a frame structure 
supported by concrete porch
and brick foundation. It is the property 
of the Dexter Ave. Baptist
Church where Rev. King is pastor.
Miss Christine King, the young
minister's sister, tell Atlanta late
Monday night to be with her brother 
during the crisis.
There has been no marked change
of conditions in the boycott which
began December 5.
Police Commissioner Sellers said
while he was out working on the
King bombing someone telephoned
his wife and told her: "The same
thing is going to happen to you
that happened to King." He said
there were other similar calls later.

MARRIAGE for THREE
Business reverses had forced Adam
Laird to sell the home which he had
built in Kennerly. Missouri for Ann.
his bride. Unhappy in the small apartment 
to which the Lairds had moved.
Ann found solace in volunteer work at
the local hospital. Here she met: Dr.
Alexander, a not-to-happily married
man of great charm with whom she
could very easily fall in love. Adam,
too had found new diversion in the
dark dynamic person of Linda VanSant 
a nurse on the hospital staff. The
Lairds marital relations became badly
strained until they found a new interest 
in building a new home together. 
But Linda VanSant soon dispelled 
their hope of peace in that small
haven Ann. In quiet race watched
helplessly as Linda pursued her husband, 
scheming for his time and attention. 
Then one day Linda overstepped 
as most gamblers do. She
hinted to Adam that he break with
Ann and wed her. It was a suggestion
which sent this frightened husband
scurrying protectively homeward to his
wife.
AS ADAM drove on home, he decided 
that a man did learn a few
things with years. This time he'd
talk it over with Ann very thoroughly 
before selling her house.
There'd be no misunderstanding
this time.
He told her of the opportunity
that same evening while he ate
supper. On coming in, he explained
that a possible deal had made him
late. He watched her anxiously. If
she read between his words, or
looked behind them . . .
She didn't. Either ignorant, or
very wise, she said she didn't care
if he sold the half-finished house;
such an ultra-modern one was not
her idea. She didn't like the grey
tile in the first-floor bathroom, for
one thing, and the fireplace set
flush.
"I'd rather have a fireplace like
ours." Her cheeks turned pink.
"The first one we built, you know.
I'd want several features like we
had there, but, of course, some differences, 
too."
She might have been at home
all day, or perhaps she had
changed after coming in from the
hospital. Anyway, she was wearing 
a short, flaring housecoat. It
was green, with a knot of violets
pinned at the collar. There was
something about violets, and Ann—
That evening, with the rain
gurgling in the gutters, Ann talked
a lot about the things she would
have done with the Crescent street
house, or would do in a new one
built for her and Adam.
He watched her, listened, made
room for her in the big chair to
that the could tuck in beside him
and watch his sketching. Her hair
was smooth and silky against his
chin. Ann always smelled like a
newly bathed baby.
He sighed with relief. If the tension 
between them could ease, if it
actually was passing . . . Ann's
gentle ways, and her shy, sweet
affection, could do much to put
Linda where she belonged in
Adams life.
A temptation, only, a really
keen girl be "once knew." Ann had
her own charms. Gosh, yes! Cuddly 
and warm there against him.
And she was a really nice girl, besides. 
Their three years together
were rich in memories fertile with
promise of precious years to follow. 

And now Ann was taking a re
newed 
interest in Adam's work,
and supplied him with several
jobs. She handled little difficulties
that arose; a contractor's life is
made up of difficulties.
He relished his reeling of there
being a rosy horizon stretched before 
them. He thought the whole
change was in himself.
When he saw Linda, or thought
about her, it was with the feeling
of a man who has seen a bear trap
just in time to keep Its jaws from
clamping around his foot.
On a September day, he stopped
the pick-up at a corner where a
slender girl stood waiting on traffic. 
She wore a bob-coated suit of
dull blue, a crisp white blouse, a
little round white hat set back
upon her smooth hair.
"I'm going west," he called.
She looked around, smiled. "Oh,
good!" she said warmly. "You can
bring me an orange!"
He laughed and put his towel
on the seat for her. "Aren't you
awfully dressed up, Ann?"
"Mhmmmn. Been to a luncheon."
"You look nice. Is that new?"
"Sort-of. I made the hat."
"Don't tell me! I got me a smart
wife, didn't I?"
"Didn't you pick me for my
brain?"
"I thought you picked me."
It wasn't much in the way of
repartee. It was everything in the
way of husband-and-wife good will
toward one another. At the apartment, 
Adam got out and indicated
that he'd go upstairs with her. She
looked at him Inquiringly. "Got
something I want to talk over," be
told her.
"With me?"
"Well, you're handy . . ."
She smiled at him, went in, sat
down on the couch and smoothed
her skirt.
"Wont you take off your hat,
Mrs. Laird?" be asked politely.
"Later. I like to feel dressed up."
That's where we're different."
He was wearing his usual sport
shirt and slacks, loose jacket and
wide-brimmed hat. "But this 
sort-of an occasion," he conceded.
"Or could be."
She looked at him, bright-eyed.
"Adam," she asked, "what are you
going to tell me?"
He was lighting a cigaret, and
so didn't see the little frown of
anxiety between her brown eyes,
or detect the thinness of it in her
voice. "Remember my talking of a
guy named Ames?" he asked,
dropping bis lighter back into his
jacket pocket.
"Yes, be—"
"Yep, my skipper. Well, he came
through here this morning."
She edged forward on the couch.
"You invited him to dinner!"
He laughed. "Relax. He was
driving his family through, but he
saw my name on the pick-up, and
stopped to find me. He made me
a proposition, Ann."
"What sort?"
"Well, he's working for the government. 
Something to do with the
Atomic Energy commission. Installations 
is his department. Sets up
these big sites. You know, there's
one in Tennessee, and they're
building one in Washington, and

one in New Mexico." Now his blue
eyes burned intently in his sunbrowned 
face. "He offered me a
Job, Ann," he said, and waited.
She frowned. "They're not foing 
to build one of their Oak
Ridges here, are they?"
"Oh, no. The job would be in
New Mexico—near Santa Fe."
"What sort of job?"
"Boss carpenter, with a fancy
name. Ames said I'd done a good
job at that sort of thing in the
South Pacific, and—"
"But, Adam . . ."
"I didn't decide anything. I told
him it would all depend on you."
"That wasn't what I started to
say. But—you've been your own
boss, here. Would you want to go
back to working for another
man?"
"The pay's awful good, Ann.
And the hours short Eight hours
a day, flat, and five days a week.
I put in twice that much here."
"But—"
"I asked him if there'd be 
restrictions on what I did off the
job. He made a joke about security
—but he thought there was no reason 
I couldn't do some contracting
on my own, on the side. I about
told him that I'd be interested in
his offer only with that proviso."
"But he thinks you're going to,
accept?"
"If you agree. I told him that,
too."
"Well—" She got up and moved
into the bedroom. In the dresser
mirror, he could see her moving
about the room, taking oft her hat,
putting it into a box; she seemed
thoughtful.
Ann was thinking hard. Adam
had never said one word to her
about Linda, or his interest in her.
Well, maybe it hadn't been an . But certainly something had
gone on! She'd be a dumb wife
not to know that! Lately, things
had changed for the better, but
Linda was still in Kennerly. Town
gossip said she was going to marry 
Mr. Bell, but even if she did—
Ann came to the bedroom door.
"I think the move sounds like a
good Idea," she said definitely.
"How soon?"
"Well, there'd be a security
check of you and me," he told 
standing up. "FBI questionnnaires.
Ames said. That'll take a little
time."
"What about your work here?"
"I won"t start anything big, and
I believe I can rig a deal with
Lockett. He could take over my
truck, tools and so on—pay me
for their use, or buy em outright.
Maybe the first would be better if
we don't like New Mexico, then
we could come back hers."
"Would we live in Santa Fe?"
"I think so. Anyway, we could
store our furniture here until we
got an idea of what went on, I
don't see how we can lose on this,
Ann."
"No," she agreed. "And maybe
we'll like it better; we're young
enough to take the chance."
Adam was relieved, and a little
surprised, at Ann's readiness to see
things his way.
But she had her own purposes


SYNOPSIS
Business reverses had forced Adam
Laird to sell the home which he had
built in Kennerly. Missouri for Ann.
his bride. Unhappy in the small apartment 
to which the Lairds had moved.
Ann found solace in volunteer work at
the local hospital. Here she met: Dr.
Alexander, a not-to-happily married
man of great charm with whom she
could very easily fall in love. Adam,
too had found new diversion in the
dark dynamic person of Linda VanSant 
a nurse on the hospital staff. The
Lairds marital relations became badly
strained until they found a new interest 
in building a new home together. 
But Linda VanSant soon dispelled 
their hope of peace in that small
haven Ann. In quiet race watched
helplessly as Linda pursued her husband, 
scheming for his time and attention. 
Then one day Linda overstepped 
as most gamblers do. She
hinted to Adam that he break with
Ann and wed her. It was a suggestion
which sent this frightened husband
scurrying protectively homeward to his
wife.
AS ADAM drove on home, he decided 
that a man did learn a few
things with years. This time he'd
talk it over with Ann very thoroughly 
before selling her house.
There'd be no misunderstanding
this time.
He told her of the opportunity
that same evening while he ate
supper. On coming in, he explained
that a possible deal had made him
late. He watched her anxiously. If
she read between his words, or
looked behind them . . .
She didn't. Either ignorant, or
very wise, she said she didn't care
if he sold the half-finished house;
such an ultra-modern one was not
her idea. She didn't like the grey
tile in the first-floor bathroom, for
one thing, and the fireplace set
flush.
"I'd rather have a fireplace like
ours." Her cheeks turned pink.
"The first one we built, you know.
I'd want several features like we
had there, but, of course, some differences, 
too."
She might have been at home
all day, or perhaps she had
changed after coming in from the
hospital. Anyway, she was wearing 
a short, flaring housecoat. It
was green, with a knot of violets
pinned at the collar. There was
something about violets, and Ann—
That evening, with the rain
gurgling in the gutters, Ann talked
a lot about the things she would
have done with the Crescent street
house, or would do in a new one
built for her and Adam.
He watched her, listened, made
room for her in the big chair to
that the could tuck in beside him
and watch his sketching. Her hair
was smooth and silky against his
chin. Ann always smelled like a
newly bathed baby.
He sighed with relief. If the tension 
between them could ease, if it
actually was passing . . . Ann's
gentle ways, and her shy, sweet
affection, could do much to put
Linda where she belonged in
Adams life.
A temptation, only, a really
keen girl be "once knew." Ann had
her own charms. Gosh, yes! Cuddly 
and warm there against him.
And she was a really nice girl, besides. 
Their three years together
were rich in memories fertile with
promise of precious years to follow. 

And now Ann was taking a re
newed 
interest in Adam's work,
and supplied him with several
jobs. She handled little difficulties
that arose; a contractor's life is
made up of difficulties.
He relished his reeling of there
being a rosy horizon stretched before 
them. He thought the whole
change was in himself.
When he saw Linda, or thought
about her, it was with the feeling
of a man who has seen a bear trap
just in time to keep Its jaws from
clamping around his foot.
On a September day, he stopped
the pick-up at a corner where a
slender girl stood waiting on traffic. 
She wore a bob-coated suit of
dull blue, a crisp white blouse, a
little round white hat set back
upon her smooth hair.
"I'm going west," he called.
She looked around, smiled. "Oh,
good!" she said warmly. "You can
bring me an orange!"
He laughed and put his towel
on the seat for her. "Aren't you
awfully dressed up, Ann?"
"Mhmmmn. Been to a luncheon."
"You look nice. Is that new?"
"Sort-of. I made the hat."
"Don't tell me! I got me a smart
wife, didn't I?"
"Didn't you pick me for my
brain?"
"I thought you picked me."
It wasn't much in the way of
repartee. It was everything in the
way of husband-and-wife good will
toward one another. At the apartment, 
Adam got out and indicated
that he'd go upstairs with her. She
looked at him Inquiringly. "Got
something I want to talk over," be
told her.

GEN. FACES
HEARING ON
BIAS TALK
Maj.
Gen Eugene M Caffey, Army judge
advocate, will return here Wednesday 
to explain full details on charges
that he praised an attack by Rep.
John J. Flynt, Jr. (D-Ga) on desegregated 
schools.
Rep. Adam Clayton Powell (DNY) 
made the charges against Caffey 
and demanded Tuesday in a letter 
to President Eisenhower that
Caffey be dismissed as Army judge
advocate general. The Negro Congressman 
from New York said Caffey 
had violated his oath to uphold
the Constitution by lauding a speech
that denounced the Supreme Court
for its ruling against segregation
public schols.
Maj. Gen. Caffey was quoted as
praising the Georgia congressman's
speech before the Georgia Legislature 
January 24. Caffey maintains
that he was misinterpreted, and that
he was praising Flynt's speaking
ability and not the content of the
speech.
He was quoted as saying to the
Georgia Legislature Monday:
"If I were going to make a speech
I would hope to make one like that."
In his communique with the president. 
Mr. Powell said:
'If such butterance had been made
by any GI, Negro or white, against
any law of our land, he would have
immediately been subjected to court
martial."
"The fact that Mr. Caffey is a
major general and occupies the
highly sensitive position as judge
advocate of the Army makes his remarks 
the more heinous."
