Now, Let The Courts Resolve It
If was probably inevitable that the student sit-downs
throughout the South would come to Memphis. Young people
everywhere are stirred with a mission and sense of freedom,
and unlike those of a generation ago, have the courage to attempt 
to do something about racial oppression in the face of
great personal danger.
They are to be commended for their efforts to do something
about injustice and inequalities. Their movement is but a symptom 
of the longings of all peoples, everywhere in the world, for
freedom and justice, and to be treated with human dignity.
Certainly, their demonstrations have aroused and bestirred some
of the older leaders and citizens from their apathy.
The students are to be commended for the orderly and intelligent 
way in which they conducted themselves. Their efforts
have dramatized injustice to the Negro citizens and attracted a
wide measure of sympathy. The cases are now in the hands, of
the courts, and according to Atty. Russell B. Sugarmon, Jr., will
be appealed all the way to the U. S. Supreme Court, if necessary.
There, in the lap of the court, we feel the students should rest
their case, without further demonstrations at this time.
With all the branches of the federal government, the president, 
the Supreme Court, the Congress, all committed and backing 
the civil rights movement, certainly we can afford restraint
and calmness, and place our confidence in the democratic processes 
of this great nation to solve the problem in time.
In group demonstrations there is always the danger of
some unthinking or intolerant person, not sharing the views of
those protesting, committing some Overt act that might bring
about violence. We are glad no such incident happened here.
There are many problems to be resolved, but certainly some
are more important than others. We give high priority to these
questions: The elimination of segregation in education, more
voting and political influence, equal consideration in the administration 
of justice at the state and local level, and improved
economic opportunities.
The students must be impressed with the fads and realities
of life. We all must understand the political implications in the
unsolved problems. They might direct, some of their efforts in
getting a more meaningful civil rights law. They could write the
leaders and members of the Senate, and get relatives and others I
to do the same. They could join in the campaign to get more
Negroes registered to vote.
Anyway, in any efforts planned to meet the unsolved
problems, let there be intelligent planning and consultation with
recognized and established leaders of integrity so as to get the
greatest possible degree of racial solidarity.

The House Passes Five-Point
Civil Rights Bill
The United States House of Representatives overwhelmingly
poised a five-point civil rights bill Thursday and sent it on to
the Senate for final action. It is predicted that the Senate will
approve this bill with little change and that long deserved
protection of the ballots of free Americans will become a reality.
"In short, the bill (1) sets up a system of federal referees
to protect Negroes' right to vote in all elections; state, local and
federal, requiring local officials to preserve registration and
voting records for two years, and permits Justice department
officials to inspect them. (2) Makes it a federal crime to willfully 
obstruct or interfere with court orders for school integration 
by force or threats. (3) Provides for education of service
men's children if their local schools are closed in integration
disputes. (U.S. Commissioner of Education could arrange for
their schooling and could negotiate with local school boards to
use any closed school built hereafter with federal funds.) (4)
Makes it a federal crime to flee across state lines to avoid prosecution 
for willfully burning, or bombing any building or vehicle, 
or to avoid testifying about such offenses; (5) Makes
flight to avoid prosecution for bomb threats, of knowingly giving 
false information, a federal offense, with penalties up to
one year's imprisonment and a $1,000 fine.
In the House vote on the measure, 179 Republicans and
94 Democrats voted for the bill while only 15 Republicans and
94 Democrats voted against it. In other words, 97 per cent of
the Republicans supported the bill, whereas only 50 per cent
of the Democrats did so.
Attorney General Rogers hailed the passage of this bill as
a victory, and that if made into law would result in additional
and meaningful progress in the field of civil rights.
The swiftness with which the bill was sent to the Senate
and the stern orders of Senate Democratic Leader Johnson that
it be sent to the Judiciary Committee, with instructions that it
be reported back to the Senate no later than next Tuesday, bid
fair that the blil will become law shortly with few changes.
Certainly those who have labored so long and earnestly
on this front should make known their gratitude to Senators
Everett Dirksen and Lyndon Johnson for their unswerving support 
in a cause in which President Eisenhower has demonstrated
no little concern.

Book Reading

Downtown Pickets
Are Discouraged
The biracial group, which picketed 
the sidewalk outside Rich's downtown 
department store Friday
night, did not return Saturday.
Identified as a newly organized
unit of the Congress or Racial
Equality, a national group, the
pickets had appeared in front of
Rich's Alabama, Forsyth and Broad
street entrances, carrying handmade
cardboard signs which read:
"Segregation Is the shame of
America"—No Colored Race. No
White Race, one Human Race.—
"They Like The Color of Our
Money but Not the Color of pur
Skin"—and "Segregation Is Not Democratic." 

Atty. A. T. Walden, who observed 
the one-hour demontration, attempted 
to discourage the picketing 
Friday night He said Saturday
that organized Negro college students 
"were no part of the demonstration, 
and when they learned
about it they sought to discourage
it." Mr. Walden said he told the
picketers there was nothing to be
accomplished" by the demonstration
and that there were "cases now
pending in the courts." He also
said the apparent leader of the
group identified himself as "a lawyer 
from New York." whom he
told: "The least you could have
done was to ask us local people
about it before you started anything." 

Names of persons in the picket
line questioned by Atlanta police
were listed as: Michael E. Goldberger, 
a second year Emory medical
student; Stewart M. Wiener of
Emory University; Willie D. Mays,
Atlanta University; Ulysses Prince,
Atlanta University, and Evie Delex
Thomas, Morehouse. College. Reports 
were that there were six
whites and six Negroes in the
picket line.

SAVANNAH PROTEST
An anti-picketing 
ordinance was utilized
Saturday to disperse all but two of
eight Negro demonstrators in front
of the largest department store
here.
Police quoted a local law prohibiting 
more than two pickets in
front of any store. Six protestors
left, with two moving across the
street.

Ambassador Arrives
Turkey's
new ambassador to the United
States, Melih Esenbel, arrived in
the United States Friday with his
wife and their American-born
daughter and son.
Selouk Esenbel, 13, and her brother, 
Ahmed, 10, were born in
Washington while their father was
serving, from 1948 to 1952, as counselor 
to the Turkish embassy. For
the last three years Esenbel has
served as undersecretary of state
in Ankara.

Moral Issues

tense, examine ourselves in prayer 
and confess that sin, we can begin 
to live as brothers.
"As we pray, let us remember
that God is eager to forgive and
if we are truly forgiven, we obtain
power to live as loving persons.
From this can come the insight and
active love to realistically shape the
human order in accordance with
God's kingdom. Let us finally pray
that we may never again be content 
with any unchristian feature
in our common lives. Thy will be
done on earth as it is in heaven.'
Amen."
The Council members are sseking
to have people consider the moral
issues involved in the "sit-ins."

Midwest Solons

Sunday.
"This is a tough statement but
it seems to me we have no choice,"
said Mrs. Geri Joseph, Chairman of
the Democratic Farm Labor Party 
of Minnesota, and a supporter
of Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, Minnesota, 
for t lie Democratic presidential 
nomination.
She said, "This is his Humphrey's 
kind of program." Quimby
and Mrs. Joseph said they expected 
the Western bloc and most
other states to stand "foursquare"
behind the civil rights position
taken here.
"At no time in our history has
there been a more crucial need for
the free exercise of these constitutional 
liberties by every American," 
the civil rights statement
said.
The Midwest Democrats, who
have 448 of the 1,521 votes at the
national convention, said they
would pledge the "full use of the
power and prestige" of the office
of President and Congress to uphold 
Supreme "Court rulings on civil 
rights and to:
—Provide effective guarantees of
the rights to vote in local, state
and federal elections.
—Complete desegregation of public 
schools and "all other tax supported 
public facilities.
—Eliminate discrimination in
housing and in employment opportunities 
and promotions:
—Secure equal access to commercial 
places of public accommodation 
such as the lunch counters
now involved in demonstrations in
the South.
—Authorize the attorney-geneto 
secure injunctions against any
infringement of constitutional
rights on account of race, religion
or national origin.
The injunction provision for the
attorney general was the central
dispute in the 1957 Congressional
battle on civil right.

ARE you perfectly serious,
A Colin?" asked Ralph Campbell. 

"Perfectly, Father. I've already 
arranged to buy the house.
It needs a good deal of repair
work. It hasn't been lived in for
seven years, you see. But I
should be able to move in by the
end of March."
"But why do you want to leave
Quail Wings?. I know I have said
things in haste that may have
offended you. Pay them no mind.
I am an old man, set in my ways
and opinions. I don't always understand 
you, but I respect your
right to think as you do."
"Thank you, sir." The two men
looked deeply into each other's
eyes "I will always remember
that."
"Now that you are not marrying 
Jeannie Dare, why should you
want to move?"
"I've always loved the mountains, 
Father. They mean something 
special to me—I can't explain 
it myself. And this house
is a Jewel. The whole setting, the
way of life it promises, is what
I want. Remember, I'll be at
Quail Wings every day that court
is in session. You'll see a good
deal of me."
"One other thing, Colin. Isn't
this a bad time to start a new
venture? In my soberer moments, 
I know well enough that
as more and more states secede,
the chances of war increase."
"All the more reason, to my
mind, to do as much as you can
of what you want beforehand. I
Know well enough that if war
tomes—much as I believe It
needn't, much as I'm convinced it
would solve nothing—I will be
drawn into it, Well, then, I'd like
to have as much from life, us I
can now."
"Won't it be rather lonely there
for you?"
"Lonely! Why, no. I've always
been bored to death with most
Denbury social affairs. You Know
that. I much prefer the company 
of the mountain people.
And some day, I nope I'll marry." 
Why did the vision of Ann
Stewart sitting before the fireplace 
on Christmas' day come
into his mind? She was Ling's
wife.
"Have you spoken to Zack and
Nell? Are they ready, to go
there?"
"They'd love it, they say. I
am moving them up there next
week so they can help put the
house in order. They're sorry to
leave Dab, of course. But they
can come here to see him from
time to time." Dab was their
only son.
"They won't be enough for
you. Tell you what; I'll make
you a present of Dab and that
little girl he married last summer. 
What's her name?"
"Elva. That's wonderfully Kind
of you, Father. Zack and Nell
will be overjoyed." Colin rose. "I
have an appointment in Wetherly 
with Mrs. Stewart and her
lawyer. I must be off. Thank

you again, Father, for your understanding 
and your generosity." 

A prosperous little village,
Wetherly was the funnel through
which the timber, crops and furs
of the mountain people poured
down to the coast. To a lesser
extent, it was also a distribution
center where mountaineers might
find merchandise from, the coast.
The residents of Hobbs Creek
came to Wetherly, usually on
fool, when they needed sugar,
salt, spices or any other article
they were unable, to make or
produce. They usually traded by
barter.
Of the three Wetherly merchants, 
two made a decent living
and one, William Bodine, was
accumulating some wealth. No
matter what anyone wanted to
buy, he had it to sell. He combined 
shrewdness, often carried
to the point of trickery, with a
deceptively affable personality.
When Colin, with the deed to
the Pollard place in his pocket,
and Ann Stewart emerged from
the lawyer's office, the idlers
were lounging on the verandah
of the Wetherly Inn guffawing
at some activity in a vacant lot
across the way.
Colin turned to see what
caused so much amusement. A
middle aged man, who walked
with a decided limp, was instructing 
eight gawky youths in
the art of drilling. All carried
green sticks over their shoulders
in lieu ot" bayonets.
"Fix bayonets," the middeleage'd 
man commanded.
"Why that's Jason Maxwell,
the carpenter," Ann said.
"Why on earth is he trying
to drill those boys?" Colin asked.
"From what I hear," Ann said,
"Jason nas always wanted to be
a soldier. He's read every book
he could get his hands on about
war and soldiering. Now he's
sure that war is coming and he's
convinced these boys they'd better 
be ready for it."
They stopped to watch for a
moment. Jason Maxwell waved
his hand toward a patch of
weeds and shouted to his company. 
"The Yankees are there!
Charge!"
The boys started across the
field at a shambling run. Only
three remembered to lower their
"bayonets" into proper position.
Suddenly one of the three
tripped over his stick and lurched
into the man ahead of him. Both
sprawled to the ground. Jason
Maxwell screamed and pulled
al bis hair. The men watching
laughed hysterically.
Colin took Ann's elbow and
they walked on. Suddenly he said
to her, "This was play-what we
saw But it war comes, how
many awkward boys exactly like
these will be slaughtered like
cattle because they don't know
what they're doing? It makes me
sick to think of it."
"Do you think war will come,
Colin?"
"Yes I'm afraid it will."
"What will you do it it does?"
"I don't think I'll have much
choice. Now we argue pro and
con. But when the time comes
we'll all be swept into it as helplessly 
as leaves in a storm."
Ann was silent a moment
Then she said, "You sound so
hopeless; yet moving into Campbell 
Hill, as you call it, to start
a new life in a new place is a
hopeful act."
Colin turned to look at her
Her lovely brown eyes were fixed
on him in inquiry. That's the
human condition, Ann. We seem
to go on Doping even when
there's no hope."
Ann paled and lowered her
eyes. "Yes, we do."
"Hey, Ann, Jedge!" Ling Stewart 
called them. He bad brought
Ann into town and gone Off on
his business while they transacted 
theirs. "Everything settled?" 
be asked.
"You now address the proud
quire of Campbell Hill," Colin
said. "Hatch, the contractor, has
told me it won't take more than
two months to make all the necessary 
repairs. I won't be able
to stay away from the place for
more than a few days at a
time!"
"Anytime you want to stay
the night or drop in for a meal,
just come by."
"Thanks, Lying. That's very
kind of you, but Nell and Zack
will be there after next week and
they'll be able to take care of
me. I'll come by, though, you
can be sure of that."
Colin saw them to their trap
at a hitching post down the
street, and waved to them as
they rode off. He had felt happy,
even joyous, all afternoon,
through the driest, dustiest financial 
and legal details. Now
he felt alone, empty. And he
knew why.
Ann had gone—gone home
with her husband to their two
children, he reminded himself
fiercely. Slowly, she had crept
into his dreams, then his waking 
thoughts, now his daydreams.
He had fallen into the habit of
contrasting her with Jeannie,
originally; then, with Jeannie
dismissed entirely from his
dreams and plans, he had thought
ot Ann in an almost abstract
way as a gracious, warm and loving 
woman, the ideal wife and
mother. Then she had appeared
in his dreams, not as the ideal
wife of Ling Stewart and mother
of his sons, but as his own beloved 
Ann.
After their talk on Christmas
day, he found himself thinking
of her constantly, of her courage,
sweetness and beauty. Now thinking 
of her was not enough. He
wanted to be with her And what
would he do when her mere
presence did not suffice?

"Poop" list of lop columns.
HAMILTON (WZH) ... I wonder
why people think that Joseph Watkins 
can't get a girl unless he's participating 
in a sport which is in
season. Can't you, Joe? Or I wonder. 

MANASSAS (WZH) ... It seems
that the top boys around Manassas
have been put into a new category
by the two cub scouters . . . For
sotme reason Charles "Cool" Pool
is being misrperesented lately . . .
It seems that Rodgers Lewis has
deserted his little biddy buddy, Robert 
Simpson, and left him the burdensome 
task of carrying on the
dirty work they stalled last September. 
While on the subject, I
wonder why they don't change the
name of their column to "NOSES
IN THE NEWS." By what they say
in their column it seems as though
everybody at Manassas has a nose
job. If so, watch out, spring, when
Closing Line: Casandra White

Some
150 girls from high school in seven 
Middle Atlantic states will gather 
in Washington Sunday( March
20) for an intensive, week-long lesson 
in democracy and its processes.
The program will be the first of
what is expected to become an annual 
Citizenship Institute. It is being 
sponsored jointly by Howard
University and the National Association 
of Colored Women's Clubs.
President Eisenhower and Vice
President Nixon head a list of some
30 leaders in government, politics,
labor and education who will meet
with the girls. They are scheduled
to visit the White House and present 
a plaque to the President at
8:45 a. m. Thursday, and meet with
Mr. Nixon at the Capitol Tuesday
at 10 a. m.
Other visits on the girls' itinerary
include a day-long stay at the Capitol 
Tuesday, when they will talk
with Congressmen and Senators,
and a tour of the Supreme Court
building.

Plays In Car
Police who checked on a
car which had been standing in
front of a house for some time
found a man inside, playing a
trombone. He explained he had
rented a motel room for the night
but couldn't play there because it
would be too noisy.
Police let him finish his lesson
but warned 'play it soft."

Here I am on the spot with the
latest around the giant "L" namely
Lester.
Aside from the Simplicity Fashion
Show last week, which was a success, 
the kids hopped (or should I
say bugged) it up at a dance held
in the gym last Friday. The two
most dugged dances were "Oooh
Poo Pah Doo" and "Hully Gully."
You should dig the guys and dolls
at Lester do these dances. They are
really the most!
Now that Spring is officially here,
the Prep League baseball players of
our school are beginning to get with
the practices. You know, like crazy.
Yesterday, they played an exhibition 
game with Manassas but I
don't know the outcome as of yet.
Never fear, for I will let you know
In Friday's news. Okay?
Henry to Eula Jean .... Oh, I

Apologize; Melvin to Beverly .....
Night Thelmus To??.... Doggin'
Around; Harold to Dora .... Think
James to Rosa .... I love the way
you love; Woodrow to Mary Louise
.... When the right time comes
along; Tommy to Georgia Anne....
The Very Thought of You.
Glancing around the campus, I
noticed these couples strolling arm
and arm: Robert and Rose, John
and Jo Anne, Leon and Louise, Milton 
and Mable, and of course, Gail
and Gloria.
Melvin Barnett, Robert Robertson,
William Macklin, Henry Robinson,
Harold Coston, Thomas Parham,
Tommy Dickerson, Ralph Williams,
Henry Harris, and John Swift.
Beverly Johnson, Rose Johnson,
Gloria Roberts, Maxine Bromley,
Dora Robins, Flodell Franklin, Jamie 
Simelton, Magdalene Moss,
Norma-Taylor, and Eunice Logan.
Why did Louise get so angry during 
the Fashion Show last week?
Ruby, has Willis moved Clifford
completely out of the picture? It
looks that way or is that fake?
What has happened between
Ralph and Magdalene? Was the
third party Evelyn or??
Harriette, Eva and Marilyn, what,
are you three girls trying to prove
with the Bullock brothers?
Evia, what did you write last week
that upset Tommie Nell so?
Robert will be home from the
Army soon. Will you be glad Maxine? 

Why were so many kids absent
from their respective schools on
Monday?
To Isaac Young: What is it that
you want with the reporters at Lester? 

The Junior Class of Lester presents 
the Lester. Players' Guild in
a three act comedy, "Brides" to
Burn" by Jay Tobias. This play
will make you laugh, make you
cry I I can truthfully say this because 
I have seen the actors and
actresses at work on the play. Hope
to see you there and all your friends
on April 8, at 8 p.m. in the school
auditorium. The admission is only
50 cents for adults and 35 cents
for students, providing you get your
ticket in advance.
P. S. — John, I hope your party
was successful in that it was a
complete surprise to you. Anyway,
we thought so.

LeMoyne "Sit-In"

when Miss Edwards and Miss Robertson 
were forced out at St.
Joseph. However, some who walked 
out in sympathy have returned
to work, it was learned.
Sister Alfreda, administrator of
St. Joseph, said Miss Edwards and
Miss Robertson were not fired because 
of their participation in the
library "sit-ins." She said the LeMoyne 
coeds were discharged because 
they did not report to work
and did not call to say that they
would not be in.
Both coeds were arrested and jailed 
for trying to obtain books at
the public library, books which were
not available on the LeMoyne campus 
or at the small Vance Avenue
branch which is poorly stocked.
Miss Edwards was arrested at the
Peabody-McLean Library branch
Saturday, March 19, and Miss Robertson 
was apprehended for trying 
to get books at the Front Street
Library branch last Tuesday.
The coeds were herded into paddy
wagons with several other "sit-in"
students and booked at Central
Police Station.
In announcing that the two coeds
had been ousted, Sister Alfreda
claimed: "It was because we have
to feed the sick people, and we
have to depend on the girls who
report to work, or let us know that
they can't."
Miss. Edwards said she was not
"completely surprised" at her and
Miss Robertson's dismissal.

HERDEED INTO WAGONS

when Miss Edwards and Miss Robertson 
were forced out at St.
Joseph. However, some who walked 
out in sympathy have returned
to work, it was learned.
Sister Alfreda, administrator of
St. Joseph, said Miss Edwards and
Miss Robertson were not fired because 
of their participation in the
library "sit-ins." She said the LeMoyne 
coeds were discharged because 
they did not report to work
and did not call to say that they
would not be in.
Both coeds were arrested and jailed 
for trying to obtain books at
the public library, books which were
not available on the LeMoyne campus 
or at the small Vance Avenue
branch which is poorly stocked.

By JESSE L. WILLIAMS

During the depression years,
1931-1938, the mortgage was entitled 
to a deficiency judgment for
the difference between the sale
price at the foreclosure, sale and
the mortgage debt. Very often the
property was sold to the plaintiff
mortgagegee at a nominal price
price (CORSS and taxes) as there
were not other bidders and the deficiency 
judgment was considerable.
The legislatures and courts, motivated 
by social consciousness, recognized 
the unfairness of this situation 
that permitted a mortgage
to acquire the property and to obtain 
a judgment for practically the
entire debt us well, decreed that
a debtor should have credit, for
the fair value of the property at
the date of the foreclosure sale as
an offset to the debt, Thus, today,
if the property is sold to the plaintiff 
mortgage for a norminal bid,
the debtor would on liable only if
the amount of the debt were in
excess of the fair value of the property. 
But, the possibility of a deficiency 
judgment, in some amount
is still very rent. The mortgagee can
look to the original owner for
this deficiency, no matter through
how many hands the property may
have passed, because of the original 
owner (Mortgagor) is liable upon 
his contract, obligation to repay
the debt. Under the short-form
clause the mortgagee has no right
pf action against, the purchaser of
the mortgagee premises, as there

is no privity of contract, i e., relationship, 
between the mortgage and
the purchaser of the property.
The only way the original mortagor 
could be relieved of all personal, 
liability would be for him to
insist that his purchaser do his own
financing and have the original
mortgage paid off and satisfied
and the accompanying bond or note
returned and cancelled. If the
original mortgagor actually pays
the judgement entered against
him by the mortgagee, he would
have the right of indeminifcation
against his purchaser but not otherwise. 

Under the long-form clause, the
mortgagee is considered a third
party, or creditor beneficiary under
the deed contract between the owner 
and purchaser and would have
a right to sue the purchaser of the
mortgaged premises for the deficiency, 
proceed against the original 
debtor or both.
"Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: 
therefore, love is the fulfilling, 
of the law."—Romans 13:10.
