Mississippi
Delegations
If the chairman cf the Democratic
National Convention has his way, neither two contesting groups
of delegates from Mississippi at the Atlantic City gathering this
month.
John M. Bailey said in an interview 
that he would submit such
a recommendation concerning rival
delegations from the all - white
and lily - white regular Democratic
Party, and thee newly formed Mississippi 
Freedom Democratic Party. 

The Freedom Democrats, a predominantly 
colored group, has challenged 
the right of the regular
Mississippi Democratic Party to
convention scats on the ground that
it denied participation to nonwhites
in the selection of convention delegates. 

D. C. Atty. Joseph L. Rauh, Jr.
chairman of the local Democratic
Party and legal counsel for the
Freedom Democrats, nailed Bailey's
decision as a victory for the racially 
- mixed delegation.
He charged the regular Mississippi 
Democratic Party, headed by
State Chairman Bidwell Adam, of
Gulfport, not only with the systematic 
exclusion of Negroes, but with
disloyalty to the national party.
Mr. Rauh suggested that the regular 
Democrats might go so far as
to place Republican nominee Bar
ry 
Goldwater's name on the Mississippi 
ballot as the Democratic
candidate.
Earlier in the week, a Mississippi 
State Judge issued fin injunction
prohibiting the newly formed group
from using the name Freedom Democrats 
on the legal technicality
that the name "Democratic" already 
was being used by one party
in the State.
Meanwhile, Administration badcis 
were striving to head off a floor
light over seating of the opposing
delegations at the convention, because 
they feared that rejection of
the regular Democrats might improve 
Senator Goldwater's stock in
the South, while rejection of the
Freedom Democrats might prove
damaging to the party in the
North.
Sen. Paul H. Douglas (D. - Ill.)
offered as a compromise the suggestion 
that both delegations be
seated and their vote split down the
middle. But this approach was immediately 
rejected by Dr. Aaron
Henry, Mississippi Negro druggist
and State NAACP president, who
heads the Freedom Democrats.

"One Person, One Vote"
Has Some States In Dither
The U.S. Supreme Court decision in June ordering "one person, 
one vote" legislative reapportionment has some states in
legal and political turmoil.
Others  and still
others ignored the ruling.
The courts ng  both
houses of state legislatures must
be reapportioned on the basis of
population was a potentially heavy
blow to the farm and "cow country" 
minorities that traditionally
dominate some houses.
The biggest impact would be in
the states with the larger cities and
spreading suburbs which now are
under represented, on the basis
of population.
A United press International survey 
of the states showed that most
states were in the process of carrying 
out the court's ruling.
But the change, if it comes, still
was years away. The long process
of amending state constitutions,
plus the process of repportioninent 
itself, meant that legislatures
made up According to the court's

guidelines couldn't convene until
until 1959 in such states as Illinois 
and Massachusetts.
The Supreme Court decision of
June 15 applied specifically to only 
six states — New York, Delaware, 
Maryland, Virginia, Alabama
and Colorado. But almost all states
are affected. The ruling would outlaw 
such disparities as the Georgia 
House, where Fulton County's
Atlanta 556.326 residents have three
representatives and Echols County,
with 1,876 inhabitants, has one a
representation difference of almost
100 to 1.
It would affect such legislative decisions 
as who gets California's
limited water resourecs and how
much of the pork barrel goes to Hawa's 
neighboring, islands.
And it could mean the end of
the line for some powerful figures
in state political circles if their districts 
were expanded to include
other incumbents Congress hat before 
it legislation that would require 
one legislative house to be
based on population but would allow 
each state to decide for itself
the basis for the other House's distriet 
boundaries.
Also before Congress is legislation 
which in effect would postpone
the supreme Court's ruling until
after the next two legislative sessions 
in each state.
Passage of this bill would have
a dramatic effect 
there a special session was under
way in an effort to meet a Sept. 10
temporary reapportionment deadline 
set by a federal court older.
Minnesota Goy. Karl Rolvaag, in
appointing a citizens committee to
dense a reapportionment plan, said
the task was 'e'normously complicated 
and fraught with controversy." 

The Supreme Court apparently
was aware of the complications involved. 
It gave no specific instructions 
on hew its ruling should be
carried out, and Chief justice Earl
Warren said each state system
should be judged on a case - by case 
basis.
"What is marginally permissible
in the state may be unsatisfactory
in another," Warren said.

Freeman Asks Advice Of Negro
Leaders On Rights Measures
Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman conferred at a
breakfast meeting with civil rights leaders last Monday at the
U.S. Department cf Agriculture.
He invited the leaders to the
breakfast to acquaint them with
what is being done by the Department 
to implement the Civil Rights
Act in the operation of USDA programs 
and service, to get their
advice on further steps to be taken.
and to request their cooperation in
providing resource personnel from
their field staffs to counsel with
the Department's field people to
prevent discrimination.
The Secretary held a meeting
with his top field people two weeks

ago to explain and clarify Department 
procedures for eliminating
any discrimination which may exist
in the operation of USDA programs. 

Civil rights leader who attended 
the breakfast meeting are; Gordon 
Carey, assistant to the director 
of CORE (Congress of Racial
Equality); J. Francis Polhaus, a
general counsel for the NAACP
(National Association for the Advancement 
of Colored People):
Nelson Jackson, associate executive
director of the National Urban
League; Mrs. Patricia R. Harris,

chairman, National Women's Committee 
for Civil Rights.
James Monomis, director of the
Washington office of SNCC (Student 
Non-Violent Coordinating
Committee); Charles B. Fisher,
public relations consultant of the
National Association of Colored
Women's Clubs; and the Rev. C. L.
Williams of the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference.
Department officials who joined
the Secretary at the breakfast were:
Joseph M. Robertson, Administrative 
Assistant Secretary, William
M. Seabron, assistant to the Personnel 
Director; and John C. Bagwell, 
General Counsel. Secretary
Fraaman's son Mike also was present. 


Carey Opposes
Goldwater, Not
For A Switch
Since the
nomination of Arizona Sen: Barry
Goldwater as the GOP standard
bearer in the coming November
elections, rumors of a planned desertion 
by Negro Republicans of
the GOP ranks for the Democratic
party have been discussed both
publicly and privately.
In Chicago, there have been
persistent rumors of a switch in
party affiliations by the Rev.
Archibald J. Carey, pastor, Quinn
Chapel; AME church, and prominent 
figure in the loccal GOP forces.
Reached at his home and asked
about the rumors that he was defeating, 
the former alternate U.S.
delegate to the United Nations, restricted 
his reply to the Republican 
presidential nominee. He declared; 
"I do not intend to support 
Mr. Goldwater, I told Senator 
Dirksen I would not support
Mr. Goldwater. I also told Percy
(Charles Percy) - our candidate
for Governor."
Rev. Carey neither confirmed
enied the rumors. When asked
whether he would make his position 
known before or after the
Democratic convention to be held
in Atlantic City, beginning Aug.
24, Rev. Carey stated there were
factors restraining his "positiontaking," 
but at a future date he
would make a statement.
He was alto asked about his participation 
as a sponsor for the Sept.
12 testimonial in the Hotel Sherman, 
honoring veteran solon, Congressman 
William L. Dawson.
Again he was non-committal, neither 
confirming nor denying that
he would participate in an affair
honoring the man he attempted
unsuccessfully to unseat as a candidate 
for Congress in 1950.
The attorney and former vicechairman 
of the President's Committee 
on Government Employment
Policy, during the Eisenhower administration, 
was unseated from
his aldermanic post by former.
Olympic champion Ralph H. Metcalfe, 
Carey's most recent defeat,
was in the race for election as
judge of the probate court of Cook
County.

Sunday School Lesson

Today we endeavor, by means of
this lesson to snow haw great a
part religious symbols and the study
of the Scripture help people maintain 
both their moral and religious
integrity in the face of great odds.
Our lesson today is the last one
dealing with the experiences of the
people of Israel in the wilderness
before they entered the Promised
Land; in this Unit we are about to
close, we have seen how God
strengthened his people through
hardship and adversity how
he toughened their bodies through
hard labor their minds by
challenging events their wills
by placing formidable hurdles in
the path of their Exodus and
their souls by rigorous testing of
their faith. Now they were about
to enter into a new world — a
world of plenty, after the hardships
of the wilderness — even of soft
living, compared with what they
were used to. And he foresaw the
pitfalls such a radical change, would
bring about; the inclination to relax
and enjoy the easy life, and the

resulting danger of losing sight
of their goals and their moral obligations. 

The Book of Deuteronomy, therefore, 
is filled with caution; It is
also filled win some of the most
inspiring passages n the Bible. In
this connection it is noteworthy
that when Jesus was asked which
was the greatest Commandment,
he quoted from the Book of Deuteronomy. 
Likewise, Deuteronomy
6: verses 4 through 9, contains a
passage called the Shema. This
passage is memorized by every good
jew, from the time in childhood
when understanding and speech
come together. Millions of martyrs
have uttered these inspiring words
as they were breathing their last
During World War II, how many
Aryan guards heard the Deuteronomic 
affirmation as the closed
the doors of the cremation chambers 
of Buchenwald! And how
many souls have been nourished in
the drest moment of their need,
by such moving passages such as
thise.
It is true that on many occasions
throughout the Bible, God admonished 
th people for setting too
much store by the ritual of religious 
worship. In any show of
pageantry or pomp, there is a tendency 
to forget the central meaning
and concentrate only on the outward 
spectacle. But, at the other
end of the swing of the pendulum,
the fact remains that, practicing a
certain amount of conservatism, a

certain amount of ritual observance
does top to the forefront of the
individual's awareness the fact that
there is a God, and that blessings
and comfort flow from. Him continuously. 

Thus, in the passages before us
today, the people were exhorted to
cling to their beliefs even though
they would be surrounded by a
foreign people, who worshiped
foreign ods. One of the means of
accomplishing this was the command 
that they were to instruct
their children in their religious
faith. By so doing, the parents
would be reminded sharply and
consistently of the tenents of their
faith; and gain strength from the
constant reminder.
This great truth still holds true
today. How many present-day
Christians have entered the sanctity 
of a church and left it stronger
because of the communion with
God in his own House — even
though a service might not be going
on at the time; just the sense of
quiet, of peace, the presence of the
religious symbols of their faith,
have quieted the unsease of personal 
crises in the mind and soul,
and, brought asense of closeness
with the Creator? A true believer 
cannot possible remain in
such surroundings long without undergoing 
a strengthening of spirit,
a girding against the temptations
which befall mankind at one time
or another.

Negroes not to let "one little bullet turn you round from freedom."
Silas McGhee, 21, of Greenwood,
was placed on the satisfactory, list
in a hospital after surgery Sunday
H was shot on August 15 as he
sat in his car in a Negro neighborhood, 
and unidentified witnesses
said a young white man did it.
Nearly 400 Negroes crowded into
a church late Sunday and 60-yearold 
businessman Cleve Jordan told
them that the county has a "hunting 
law on rabbits and squirrels,
but its always open season on Ne
groes 
and snakes."
Siolas' younger brother Jake
stood up and told the crowd he
had a message from bis brother.
He said Silas told me to tell
you "don't let one little bullet turn
you 'round from freedom."
The crowd broke into a standing
ovation.
"If you are going to let one
little bullet turn you 'round from
freedom," Jake continued, "then
freedom doesn't mean much to
you."
The Council of Federated Organizations 
(COFO), a civil rights
groud, said it hid witnesses who
saw two young white men in a 1964
station wagon pull up next to McGhee's 
car. One shot wan fired
from the station wagon, the witnesses 
told COFO.
The mass rally so large it hsd to
be shifted to the Friendship MB
Church from a smaller one four
blocks away, broke up quietly before 
dusk.

that damaged two Negro stores Friday 
night. COFO said five carloads 
of notice raided its "freedom
home" Sunday and rummaged
through files and records, allegedly
looking for eral whiskey. A McComb 
policeman said he know
nothing of such a raid.

Jackson police said they were holding 
two young white men on
charges of shooting and wounding
a Negro man in the leg Saturday
night in Jackson. Det. Capt, J. P.
Shipp and Markus Perkins and D.
J. Hawkins, both in their 20s, were
charged in the shooting of Negro
Willie Earl Gynes, 18, outside a
dance hall.
—More than 100 crosses were
burned in almost every section of

corner of Louisiana and in southeast 
sector of the state near Mis(
sissippi.

NAACP Called Peace
Makers In Jersey
Peacemakers 
in action is the way people
here described officials of the local 
branch of the National Association 
for the Advancement of Colored 
people, and their efforts in
helping to end the three days of
rioting which broke put Sunday,
August 2.
Sunday night, and up into the
early hours of Monday morning.
Raymond A. Brown, president of the
Jersey City NAACP Branch, cruised
the riot areas in a sound truck appealing 
to the people to clear the
streets and go home.
Other local NAACP representatives, 
assisted by Phil Savage NA
ACP field secretary and Lois
Ashford, National NAACP youth
secretary, were constantly on the
move all during the disorders either 
meeting with city officials or

with rioters in the streets seeking
all end to violence.
Throughout the day, Monday, the
NAACP president met with residents 
of Lafayette Gardens and
Booker T. Washington housing projects, 
centers of the rioting activities, 
sounding out their complaints
and using his influence to head off
any further disorders.
Tuesday, Mr. Brown invited the
group leaders to the branch's office
where he provided them with sandwiches 
and sodas while he continued
his campagin to head of further
disorders. One of their spokesmen
used the NAACP office machine to
mimeograph a leaflet outlining his
group's demands.
The NAACP around - the - clock
activities were acknowledged by officials 
to have been a major factor
in quieting the situation.

Must Bridge Gaps To
Aid Race Advancing
If educational opportunity is to
become a reality, for Negroes, who
for decides have been denied it,
remedial measures must be undertaken 
to bridge the gap of ill-preparation. 

Tuskegee Institute foresaw this.
And in an effort to increase the
educational opportunity for students, 
instituted pre-freshman and
post-freshman summer programs,
designed improve the students'
chances for successful college careers. 

One hundred sixty students—135
senior high school graduates and
25 high school seniors—have, for
the past eight weeks, enrolled in
the pre-freshmen study program.
They were selected on the basis

of their individual test scores on
the United Negro College Fund's
Cooperative intercollegiate Examination, 
which indicated they would
have difficulty in college academic
competition. The students had
chosen Tuskegee as their first or
second college choice.
For the most part residents of
the Southern region, the students
live and dine, have classes, seminars 
and attend cultural activities
all on campus—thus orienting them
to college life. The students paid
$50 of the cast of the program and
Tuskegee subsidized the remaining
expenses.
During three classes a day, the
pre-freshmen concentrated on develpoing 
basic skills in reading.
English and mathematics. Five
nights a week they watched the
half-hour television news broadcasts 
and later, in smaller groups,
discussed current events. In addition, 
twice a week there were lectures 
on music appreciation.
Using some of the Tuskegee
faculty as instructors, the Institute 
also hired special teaching assistants—eight 
graduate students
from Yale, Harvard, Princeton,
Stanford and. Howard Universities
and two Tuskegee undergraduates.
The post-freshman program was
open to Tuskegee "students who,
upon entering gave promise of being 
able to perform well, but whose
actual performance was so poor
that it was unlikely they could remain 
in school grade-wise.
Thirty-four students in this category 
were invited to return here
this summer for a special eightweek 
program of intensified study
in reading, mathematics, literature
and writing. If satisfactory progress 
was made, the students will
be able to re-enter the Institute
under a controlled course of study.
They paid $150.
Since the programs are expertmental 
this year, there will be
elaborate testing of the participants
to measure their effort and efficiency.
