Tragedy On Failure To Teach Equality The tragedy of Mississippi and other areas of the South is due basically to "an almost total failure" to teach belief in the equality of every individual, Judge William H. Hastie said at Morgan Stale College Wednesday. Delivering the Bill of Rights Day address at the college, the United States Circuit Court of Appeals jurist declared: "I suspect the tragedy of Mississippi and neighboring areas today is chargeable primarily to an almost total failure for many years to teach each new generation to understand and believe in the great concepts of an equalitarian society which respects the dignity and personality of every individual." Instead of teaching equality and respect, local schools in the South, Judge Hastie continued, "have taught white supremacy with its attendant contempt and hatred for one's neighbors." The result, he said, is that "such education in negation of our Bill of Rights inevitably produces a society which is an ugly and incongruous caricapture of the American ideal." Judge Hastie described the Bill of Rights as a "Constitutional scheme for promoting the values of human dignity and freedom against oppressive by the officers of government." He said that it may be argued that men in this country, when they framed the Bill of Rights, gave liberty more emphasis than gave liberty mere emphasis than security. He warned, however, of a shift toward the opposite direction today which may lead to an overemphasis upon security at the risk of individual liberty. He said: "It is of greater cancan today that we in a mature society, close to the Russian Revolution, in apprehension overemphasize security at the expense of vital historic liberties even as some of the newer nations seem to be doing. "What we risk is the uncritical acceptance of a shift of social equilibrium, tolerating less and less personal liberty in alarmed search for more and more protection of the organize dcommunity." He urged analysis of today's complex situation in the light of the American experience. "In that way'" he said, "we will recognize the complex of present day proposals advanced in the name of internal security as two-edged swords." Judge Hastie cited Ghana as an example of a newly emerging nation in which the "founding fathers deemed it relatively unimportant to maintain the stability of the new government against unsettling influences." He said: "Today, some six years after Ghana became an independent nation, the principal news from that country is the story of preventive detention and the supression of political dissent. "In the absence of guarantees of either free speech or fair procedure the government has been free to seize and jail leaders of the opposition party and other critics whose utterances have been deemed dangerous to the security of the state. "Often, persons thus arrested are not tried or even charged with crime. They are merely seized and incarcerated by order of the executive."

U.S. Enters Case As 'Friend' To Pry Open Virginia Schools The empty public classrooms in Prince Edward County, Va., represent a "disgrace to our educational system" and ought to be reopened without further delay, the Justice Department said Dec. 20. In a motion tiled in the Fourth U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals at Richmond, the Department said three years was too long for 1,500 colored school-age children to go without an education. The Prince Edward County Board of Supervisors forced public schools to close by refusing to appropriate the necessary funds for their operation. Since the shutdown, white pupils have been attending private segregated schools, financed initially by state tuition hondouts until Federal Judge Oren Lewis ordered the grants stopped. Attorney General Robert F. Ken nedy noted in the Justice Department brief that "the United State has a direct stake in the case because of its bearing on the future course of desegregation in the Nation." He explained that there is "a pressing need in these times for educated citizenry" and cited the "federal interest" in protecting constitutional rights. "It is time — in fact, it is high time," he said "to call a halt to this abdication or responsibility on the part of county authorities." Kennedy said the school clothing in Prince Edward County is unconstitutional because it "discriminates geographically" against all students, white and colored. He asserted the action was taken solely to evade the Supreme Court desegregation decision and pointed out that the 11th Amendment to the Constitution is not applicable to the case because Prince Edward is a county and not a state. The move Thursday was the second recent attempt by the frederal government to force balking school segregationists in line in Virginia. Three months ago, the Justice Department asked that impacted area funds be denied Prince eGorges County, because the children of Negro servicemen at Fort Lee were required to attend segregated schools. Decry Shortage Of Homes Despite High Race Income Colored people in Washington are making a lot more money these days, but racial restrictions are preventing them from buying homes of their own. This is the conclusion drawn by a report issued Saturday by Robert C. Weaver, administer of the Housing and Home Finance Agency. The report said there is a potentially large market in new dwellings for the 18,531 Negro families in the $7,000 to $10,000 wage bracket. Only 21 per cent of these families own homes costing $15,000 or more. By contrast, 38 per cent of the 111 012 white families with comparable income own homes valued at $15,000 or above. The report concluded that it will take 3,160 more homes at that level to bring colored families on par with white families. Oral Polio Vaccine For Children Urged The Public eHalth Service has urged supped - up immunization campaigns against poliomyelitis, with particular emphasis on children and young adults. Surgeon General Luther L. Terry said all three types of oral vaccine should be used, as recommended by his department's Special Advisory Committee on Oral Poliomyelitis Vaccine. "Because the need for immunization diminishes with advancing age and because potential risks of vaccine are believed by some to exist in adult's, especially above the age of 30, vaccination should he used only with the full recognition of its very small risk," Dr. Terry said. Ernie Banks May Enter Politics Ernie Banks, slugging Chicago Cubs first baseman, soon may be slugging it out in the political arena, if current plans materialize to have the popular baseball star run for a seat on the City Council. It was disclosed last week that Ernie had been approached and has agreed to run for the alder manic post against white Democratic incumbent James Condon in the Feb. 26 primary elections. Contacted in Los Angeles, Ernie admitted that he bad been approached by a prominent Republican leader and asked to run. He said he agreed to accept the offer after consulting with P. K. Wrigley, Jr., president and owner of the Cubs and with his wife, Eloyce. He wanted to make sure, he said that entering politics would not interfere with his baseball playing. Ernie said Wrigley not only approved the suggestion but thought it was a wonderful opportunity for him. If he does become an aldermanic candidate Banks, 31, would be relying chiefly on his immense popularity as a sports hero. He is extremely popular with the city's youngsters, who my be able to persuade their parents to support him. Ernie also has a tremendous adult fan following. One thing would weigh heavily in Ernie's favor. His popularity cuts deeply across color lines, making him the favorite of Negroes and whites alike. This would be particularly advantageous in the 8th Ward race. There are 93 precincts in the ward, 41 of which are predominantly Negro. He could win handily by carrying the Negro precincts and a few of the white ones. Ernie still has a major hurdle to cross, however, He has not yet received the important endorsement of the ward's committeeman, Michael J. Connelly. Connelly has said that he will not endorse any candidate until after the Feb. 26 primary. His endorsement then could hardly help Banks. Aldermanic candidates run on a non-partisan ballot and if a candidate polls a majority o fall votes cast in February, he is automatically elected. Otherwise, didates stage a runoff in connection with the April 2 mayoral election. Ernie would be the last to say that he is a politician. However, with his popularity he may not have to be to win. The best thing that could happen for him at the polls would be for voting fans to remember his heroics in Wrigley Field. Meanwhile, it appeared very likely that he would toss his baseball cap in the political ring. If he does and is elected, he would be the Council's second sports hero. Now serving as alderman of the 3rd Ward is Ralph Metcalfe, former Olympic champion runner. Since joining the Cubs straight from the Kansas City Monarchs team of the Negro American League in 1953, Ernie has set all sorts of Cubs and leagus records. He won the National League's most valuable player award in 1958 and 1959, led the league in home runs with 47 in 1958 and 41 in 1960 and led in runs batted-in with 129 in 1958 and 143 in 1959. Last year he clouted 31 homers and drove in 104 runs. He was the first. Major League shortstop to hit more than 40 home runs, accomplishing the feat twice He has also hit more home runs (335) than any player in Cub history. Maybe he'll set another record Feb. 26.

Former White Officials in Africa Hunting Jobs Former white civil officials in the newly emerging independent nations of Africa are feeling the pinch of the times. One example is sir Richard Turnbull, 53, retiring Governor of Tanganyika, who arrived in London last week. Sir Richard said he was unemployed and wanted a job back in East Africa. "I spent 32 years in East Africa," he said "and have tremendous affection for the country and its people." At Blantyre, capital, Nyasaland the government started a series of interviews with its white civil servants. Reliable sources said a small number of civil servants face dismissal because they are regarded as "rebels." Five already have been fixed and 14 others have resigned. Still others, mostly British born, will be given the following ultimatum: "You must pledge your allegiance to Dr. (Hastings) Banda and his Malawi Congress Party, or pick up and go." Former Editor Of Miss. U. Paper Sues Gov. Barnett Federal court records showed Saturday that a former editor of the University of Mississippi campus newspaper has filed a $250,000 damage suit against Gov. Ross Barnett and other state notables. The suit, field this week by Billy Barton, charged the defendants engaged in a "common conspiracy to ruin his reputation, character, social standing and present and future business and professional career." The charges stemmed from a highly publicized campaign last year in which Barton unsuccessfully sought the editorship of the "Mississippian." He was managing editor of the newspaper at the time but lost the editor's post to Jimmy Robertson. Barton charges that Barnett and others named in the suit accused him of being a member of an integrationist group and participating in an Atlanta sit-in demonstration. The charges, the suit contended, ended his "professional and business career in journalism" in the South. In addition to Barnett, those named in the suit included Citizens Councils Administrator William J. Simmons of Jackson; Mrs. Sarah McCorkle of Jackson, a young worker for the Citizens Councils; Sovereignty Commission Director Albert Jones and Georgia States Rights Council official W. A. Lufburrow.

The chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee charged Monday that the Mayor of Ruleville, Mississippi, "willfully and maliciously beat a 14-year-old Negro youth on December 18." SNCC Chairman Charles McDew, in a telegram to Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, charged that "Negro citizens in Ruleville have no rights which white men are bound to respect. An economic squeeze has made over 2,000 Negro families homeless at this, the the Christmas season.
