SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Year $5.00—6 Months $3.00—3 Months $1.50 (In Advance) Such Are The Men, Such Is The Way A group of Memphis citizens met together the other night. They were white persons and colored persons, young and old. They heard their mayor, Frank Tobey, welcome George Dempster to Memphis. Mr. Dempster is mayor of Knoxville. He had come to Memphis to offer the "benefit of any experience we have, had" in enlarging the opportunities of Negro citizens of this city. Dr. Donald Henning, rector of this city's great Calvary Episcopal Church, presided. The Rev. J. A. McDaniel, minister of the Bethel Presbyterian Church, introduced his old friend Mayor Dempster. The Rev. Ray Dobbins, editor of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church's publications, and the Rev. John Mickle, minister of the Second Congregational Church and a member of the LeMoyne College faculty, were platform guests. And so a group of Memphians listened and talked of solutions to the problem that is faced by this democratic nation. With such men leading, thru such meetings, in this calm and earnest way, we will make progress. We need only persistence and unfailing good will to succeed. .... Memphis Press Scimitar. Fair Treatment By Press Will Help Open Courts Legal groups which object to courtroom coverage by newspapers often say newspapers violate the rights of the person being tried and make a fair trial impossible. They have a lot of facts to show that this CAN be true. Certainly many newspapers have covered trials in the disgraceful manner, seeming more concerned about screaming, sensational headlines than reporting the trial in a fair, impartial manner. The recent Sheppard case was a glaring example of this type of yellow journalism. But, for the most part, newspapers, if given the opportunity will report court trials in a way that will give the people facts they ore entitled to, and still protect all of the defendant's civil liberties. Indeed, he will be assured of better treatment under the cautious observance of the press — and thus the people — than if his trial were held in secret. J. R. Wiggins, managing editor of the Washington Times Herald, and chairman of the freedom of information committee of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, made this point in o speech before the American Bar association in Cincinnati (Pub. Aux., June 18). Saying the press has often joined the bench and bar in demanding preservation of the rights of individuals, Mr. Wiggins said: "I think we thus elicit a universal warning of suffering mankind against punishment, the devices by which it is possible to identify every tyranny over the freedom of the individual exerted by arbitrary government since the dawn of human history." Mr. Wiggins' committee, along with those of other newspaper groups, is working hard to convince legal forces of the necessity of open courtrooms. They will be a lot more successful if all newspapers will leave sensationalism out of their trial stories. We Congratulate Birmingham The decision by Federal District Judge Hobart Grooms last Wednesday in Birmingham in opening up the University of Alabama to members of the Negro race for the first time in that institution's history is a signal victory. This is not so because It is the first such decision that has been rendered in the South, but rather because it comes in Alabama where the pro-segregation forces are about as strong as those in any state. It also means that members of our race will now have the vital opportunity to get equal educational training in the various professions and high skills that are necessary if we are to compete in the struggle of life. We congratulate first the two young women plaintiffs — Misses Autherine Lucy and Polly Myers — and second, the Birmingham Branch pf the N.A.A.C.P. for the victory. We also wish to commend Judge Grooms for his forthright decision. We take a little extra "pride in this decision because one of the plaintiffs. Miss Myers, is a columnist for the Birmingham World, a sister publication to the Dolly World. The decision is timely, not only from the moral and legal standpoint, but it will help the beginning of a new and sounder type of thinking by both racial groups in that state particularly and this area in general. We like to think of the three cities — Atlanta, Birmingham and Memphis — as friendly rivals. We like to see them compete constructively with one another for the Advancement of our racial group. Well, thinking along this line, we have to give it to Birmingham this time and state to our readers in the other two cities, we will have to simply get busier and move the similar barriers in those cities. And further by comparison of success along this line, Memphis must be given credit for being ahead of Atlanta. That puts Atlanta at the bottom in the drive to remove educational barriers. But in fairness to Atlanta we have to admit there are extenuating circumstances which partially explain Atlanta's position. There are so many good colleges of our own in the Gate City to the South. Also Georgia is lavish with state aid. Yet, we must see that all public-supported schools and colleges drop their racial bars as soon as possible. Besides the practical need for more of our people to be trained in the various trades and professions, we need to do this to bring about a more wholesome political atmosphere by eliminating the race issue from political campaigns. This is particularly true where Georgia is concerned. We hope the University of Georgia will be our next victory in the not distant future. Leadership And Light A few nights ago in Wadley, Alabama a meeting of American students interested in international issues as they relate, to peace and friendship was broken up at Southern Union College by a mob-like group of men hostile to the assembling of human beings as free persons. The intruders were obviously violating local, state and federal law when they disturbed the meeting with covered faces, wrongfully trespassing, and making hateful threats on peaceful, law-abiding, church-connected human beings. Gov. James E. Folsom has issued a public statement in which he ordered the arrest of the masked "hoodlums" who unlawfully interfered with the human relations meeting at this small church related college. A spokesman for the college who was on the scene at the time of the intrusion says that he recognized some About 55 per cent of the population of this small rural communiof the men who made the hate raid on the institutions. However no arrests have been made. Law violators, whether mob-like gangs or single law-breakers should be brought to accounting; when they can be identified. Wadley is a small town with a listed population of 525. However it is certainly good news to learn that leadership and light on the local level has come to Wadley to seek avoidance of the recurrence of any unpleasant flare-up like that of June 26. An interracial Council on Human Relations headed, by the Mayor of Wadley has been established. Much good can come of it should the council members work sincerely, boldly, intelligently and in the finest American spirit. Cooperative action based upon justice and goodwill is better than mob action based upon bigotry and emotion. ty is estimated to be of the Negro segment. It is located in Randolph County which has.16,696 white person arid 5,817 colored persons. It should be recalled that during the 1948 resurgence of the Klu Klux Klans in Alabama that in Clay County there were reports of hooded, parades. There ore new klan-spirited organizations on the loose in this state trying to stabilize the status quo. But they seek their goals by obviously unlawful methods. They choose goals which run counter to the democratic ideology. They are negative approaches. The council which has been established seeks to work within the law, out in the open, including representation from the community, excluding no population segment. It has positive goals based upon the enlightened, neighborly, good sense approach. Meantime the council "has agreed to remain as a permanent working body as long as the need for building interracial understanding, and cooperation exists." REVIEWING THE NEWS By WILLIAM GORDON Managing Editor, Atlanta Daily World I believe it was in 1947 when the Governor of Alabama came to News York on a short visit. The occasion is still vivid to me because newspapers played up his arrival in first class fashion. Surprisingly enough, the comments were favorable and not over critical as one would expect about some Southern governors. Even then, Northerners seem to like Governor "Big Jim" Folsom. A few days ago, that same governor made a statement. "I could never get excited about our colored brothers. They've been here 300 years and I estimate they'll be here another 300 years or more. The Governor had in mind a legislative act to preserve segregation in the public schools. Governor Folsom added that if Negroes had been making a living for him like they had been for the Black Belt he would be proud of them instead of cursing and kicking them all the time. The governor went on to praise the Negro and say they were good citizens. Those who have been close to the Governor and studied his platform know what side of the fence he's on, and that deep down in this big frame of his is a lot of sound logic that a lot of other Southern governors should try to absorb. Some like to view the Governor in light of his shadow, saying that those who stand near him develop the same temperament and philosophy. This being true, some feel that the shadow of the Governor covered a large segment of the Alabama territory, helping to set the climate and condition the thinking of the courts. A few days ago, Federal Court Judge Hobart Grooms ruled that color, and later that class could not be factors used against individuals entering the University of Alabama. The decision came shortly after the Governor had made the statement regarding Negroes in the Black Belt of Alabama. So the feeling runs even deeper — —the feeling that in all such cases of enlightenment in the South, the Governor can play a significant role. One needs only to look at states like Arkansas, Tennessee, Maryland and Oklahoma where the climate of political leadership has been conditioned to accept social and economic changes. And of course, along with the above, one can examine more closely the philosophy of the Governor in mind. Governor Folsom of Alabama has long held the philosophy that economic enlightenment is a factor to be considered in any social order. The Governor has fought for the extension of political power, taking it out of the hands of a few and spreading it where all people can have full participation. He has fought the big power interest, the coalition of the big industrialists and the plantation owners of his state. He came to office as a friend of the people, with the full realization that a large segment of the people of Alabama happens to be Negroes. That the Negro has been in America for more than 300 years, is a factor for all Americans to consider. And the fact that he has been making a living for millions of other Americans, fighting to protect their interest and whose loyalty is incomparable, are other factors, to consider by all of us. The amount of money, time, fear and frustration some people use in fighting to keep the Negro away from what the Constitution says he should have, could go to help build our schools into better institutions, boost morale of more Americans, and strengthen our relations with the millions of colored peoples in other parts of the world. The comments of Governor Folsom were sound, logical and farreaching, the implications of which will have resounding effect on the thinking of millions. Other governors would do well to stand in his shadow.

THE NATION'S CAPITAL No better illustration can be found of the undue advantage afforded to some draft-age men by the Selective Service Act than the provision which permits individuals to enlist in the National Guard before reaching the age of 18 1-2 years and be deferred from the draft although they remain liable for induction up to age 28. This is the section of the Universal. Military Training and Service Act which the NAAP and Representative Adam C. Powell, Democrat, of New York, proposed to amendment to the UMT Act. The NAACP-Powell amendment would have banned deferments of men enlisting in National Guard units which exclude or segregate colored men. it appears that if the draft law is to operate without discrimination, racial or otherwise, the provision permitting deferments of men enlisting in the National Guard before they reach draft age be stricken from existing law. The provision is discriminatory not only against colored men in the states which will hot permit them to serve in the National Guard, or which permit them to serve only in segregated units, but also against young white men who are unable to enlist in the Guard because quotas are filled. It permits some young men to dodge training and service in the armed forces merely by enlisting in the Guard, to remain in their home towns, keep their civilian jobs, attend drills a couple of hours once a week, and go to summer camps for a 15-day period of training. Selective Service carries them in 1-D, part-time soldiers. Compare the training which such young men receive with the intensive training which a draftee is compelled to undergo in the Army The draftee must serve two years in any God-forsaken camp or foreign post where the Army may send him. Upon completion of his two-year period of active service and training he must fulfill his Reserve obligation of four years in the Organized Reserves, a unit of which may. or may not be in his community. Moreover, the draftee may be ordered to fight immediately if a war breaks out. Not so the National Guard because it will not be in shape to take the field against an enemy. General Matthew B. Ridgway, recently retired Chief of Staff, United States Army, in testifying on the National Reserve Plan before the House Armed Services Committee, said a National Guard division would need at least 90 days of training after being brought into the Federal service. Obviously, the Guard cannot be federalized overnight. Gen. Ridgway said: "If the Congress declared war today, for instance, you are not going to have these Guard divisions in camp ready to begin training tomorrow. It is going to take a minimum, even in a national emergency, of from 15 to 30 days to get those personnel away from their civilian pursuits and transported to the camp." For the colored man the discrimination is worse. In more than half of the states of the Union he cannot serve in the National Guard solely because he is colored. He must await a call from his draft board get inducted, and then upon release from his service fulfill his Reserve obligation. If his Reserve unit is located 100 or 200 miles from his home, he must take a trip for his weekly drills. What is said here about the Army Reserve and the National Guard applies with equal, if not greater, force to the Air Reserve and the. Air National Guard and the Naval Reserve, particularly the Naval ROTC. In southern states it is virtually impossible for a colored youth to let into the Naval ROTC because candidates are handpicked by a committee and even if a colored ad should be so fortunate as to pass the qualifying examination and get selected, he must find a "white" college with a Naval ROTC unit which will permit him to enroll. The Tip-Off BY EMORY O. JACKSON This output today is merely an assist play, to use baseball parlance. The Gilstrap production is a condensation of questions and answers on the meaning of the decision as prepared by Prof. Robert A. Cellar of New York University for Southern School News. Here they are: "A Only as the decision is "the law of the land." Separate new proceedings will have to be brought against each noncomplying district." "A. No. It applies to all statesupported educational institutions. This would include state universities, colleges junior colleges, trade and vocation schools, specialized schools such as those for the deaf, dumb, and blind, etc." "A. No. Except as private schools may be actually sponsored by the state, thus constituting an evasive form of state schools rather than bona fide private schools. But a state law requiring segregation in private schools is clearly unconstitutional. "A. It should comply with "the law of the land" at the earliest possible date." "A. No state law requiring or permitting segregation in public schools is now valid. The Supreme Court is specific about that. The school district may disregard such unconstitutional enactments. No further legal proceedings are necessary to establish their invalidity. As to outside pressures, they may affect public funds available for school purposes." "A. It has the legal power, by ignoring the decision, to delay desegregation unit it is forced by legal proceedings to comply with the law." "A. This depends upon the law of the particular state and the degree of administrative independence vested by state law in local boards. It remains true, however, that any administrative requirement that segregation be maintained or any rule or regulation which is designed even indirectly to maintain segregation is itself unconstitutional." "A. There is riot. The federal courts are by law authorized to hear and pass only on actual "controversies." They will not hear "most" cases. "There may, however, be some possibility of arranging litigation through "friendly suits." "A. Apart from normal public pressures, lawsuits may be brought, but only by persons actually deprived of legal rights by the board's action. In general, this probably means that lawsuits would have to be brought by Negro students or their parents." "A. In most cases they may be. This means that one suit can represent all Negroes in an entire school district as a "class." "A. Apparently not. At least the court in its final paragraph seemed to confine its decision to "the parties in these cases." This presumably does not mean, however, that "class suits" may not be brought, if properly identified as such." Cites Advances Negro doctor to the city's planning commission the admission of another Negro doctor to Knoxville's Academy of Medicine, desegregation of the city's pub 15AFRG..AMGQ of the city's public park and the hiring of Negroes to work in Knoxville's safety inspection stations. The mayor also revealed that Knoxville's new hospital to be built at a cost of 3 million dollars will be "completely" unsegreated and expressed hope that as soon as the city's districting laws are changed Negroes might be elected to the city council. Mayor Dempster commented "I doubt seriously that the American Legion will approve of his action in sending this wire as a Legion Commander." A daily newspaper story later quoted Burrow as saying he had sent the statement as a "personal telegram." At the conclusion of the program L. O. Swingler, longtime Memphis newsmen and Southern vice president of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, presented Mayor Dempster with a citation in behalf of the fraternity for the reception afforded the organization during a regional meeting in Knoxville. Mayor Dempster was welcomed to Memphis by Mayor Frank T. Tobey and introduced by the Rev. J. A. McDaniel, pastor of Bethel Presbyterian Church and a member of the sponsoring organization. Dr. Donald Henning, rector of Calvary Episcopal Church, presided and the Rev. John C. Mickle, pastor of Second Congregational Church, explained the purpose of the Memphis Council on Human Relations which was organized recently. The meeting was well attended by persons of both races. Judge Says account of their race or color." Interpreting his findings of facts and conclusions of law, the judge noted: The suit was brought in the name of the two young ladies for themselves and all other Negroes similarly situated. Both are graduates of Miles College and applied for admission to study courses offered at the University. Accepted for room assignments at the University after mailing their transcripts and formal applications they appeared before Dean Adams to complete registration. "There is a dispute in the evidence as to the exact conversation that occured," said Judge Groom, adding: "It is undisputed however, that (Adams) tendered to each of them their room desposite and advised them the courses they sought were available at Alabama State College (Negro) in Montgomery. "It is also undisputed that their applications were rejected at that time." The matter later was brought to the attention of the board of trustes and John Gallalee, president of the University. Dr. Gallalee attempt ed to have the two women withdraw their applications and apply elsewhere, Judge Grooms continued The borad of trustees declined action pending the Supreme Court decision oh school segregation. "On the occasion that Dr. Gallalee had the board of trustees took any steps to deny the applications on grounds other than race. "The evidence reveals that Dean Adams is vested with sole authority to receive or reject applications for admission to the University. There is no written policy or rule excluding prospective students from admission to the University because of race or color. "However, there is a trcit policy to that effect and Defendant Adams has pursued such policy in denying applications for admission. Plaintifs were denied admission to the University solely on account of their race and color. "In conformity with the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, plaintiffs and others similarly situated are entitled to equal advantages and opportunities available at the same time and upon the same terms and qualifications available to other residents and citizens of the State of Alabama. "This action is properly brought as a class action under rule 23 (a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure." Citing a prior case in another state, Judge Grooms quoted: "Where a person is able to establish his right to individual relief, he may under certain conditions ask that the benefit be extended to others: "1. Where they constitute a class standing generally in the same legal situation. "2. Where they are so numerous as to make it impractical to bring them all before the court. "3. And where the granting of such relief seems likely to serve some useful legal purpose—for example preventing a multiplicity of suits. "Violations of the Fourteenth Amendment are of course violations of individual or personal rights. But where they are committed on a class basis or as a group policy, such as a discrimination generally because of race, they are no less entitled to be made the subject of class actions and class adjudication."

BLAIR T. HUNT, PASTOR MISSISSIPPI BLVD. CHRISTIAN CHURCH, MEMPHIS TEXT: "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord."—Psa. 33:12. Another Fourth of. July is now history. Did we stop to think of the great, God-blessed country, America? If you didn't ... let us pause now to ponder, praise, and thank. Why is our country so greats so blessed? It is because of that "Faith of our fathers," a glorious phrase. With apology to the writer of Hebrews may we say: By faith the ship "Mayflower" left old England and found harbor off the bleak New England shores. Forty-six days she had battled storms, disease and other perils. By faith our Pilgrim fathers set up a government in a "new world dedicated to God. By faith Jefferson was inspired to Strike a blow for independence and wrote the thrilling document that declared all men are created equal. By faith Washington forsook ease and comfort to suffer hardships with the ragged continental army. By faith he endured as seeing Him who is invisible. By faith Lincoln bore the awful burden of four crucifying years seeking to preserve the union. By faith with one stroke of his pen he broke the shackles of slavery. By faith four million black slaves prayed for a day to come when they would no longer be common chattel. By faith these slaves caught a vision of a new world acoming. And what shall I more say? For time would fail me to tell of that unnumbered host, the unnamed, obscure citizens who bore the burdens in the heat of the day, who silently sacrificed that "a government of the people, and by the people might not perish from the earth." If we walk in the faith of our fathers, believing and practicing the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, then this great nation will gloriously endure, and no enemy from without can destroy us. Our enemies within ... injustice, sectionalism, intolerance, prejudice, discrimination, Jimcrowism, laziness alone can defeat us and make us a prey to a godless people. Ancient Tyre and Sodom, Gomorrah were crushed to the earth and destroyed ... Why? They had not faith in the one true living God. God did not touch the heart of ancient Greece and she became "a molded crust of bread in the garbage can of history." Proud Rome minus a faith in God became "a mouthful of rotten teeth." Ancient Egypt turned her back on faith in God and today she is a shabby section of the world's grave yard. America, beware, before ... lest you walk in their footsteps. What makes a nation great? Alexander Blackburn gives the answer in verse: "That land is great which knows the Lord, Whose songs are guided by His word; Where justice rules twixt man and man, Where love controls in art and plan; Where, breathing in his native air, Each soul, finds joy in praise and prayer, Thus may our country, good and great, Be God's delight ... man's best estate." Oh for a greater faith in God, in our fellowman and in ourselves. Jesus the Christ is the one true clue to this greater faith. WHAT MAKES A NATION GREAT REV. BLAIR T. HUNT, PASTOR MISSISSIPPI BLVD. CHRISTIAN CHURCH, MEMPHIS TEXT: "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord."—Psa. 33:12. Another Fourth of. July is now history. Did we stop to think of the great, God-blessed country, America? If you didn't ... let us pause now to ponder, praise, and thank. Why is our country so greats so blessed? It is because of that "Faith of our fathers," a glorious phrase.
