Neither Police Brutality Nor Mob Action
Memphis has been blighted with several perturbations within 
less than a month apart. The first one occurred on Annie
Street in the Klondyke area on August 12. The second one took
place on North Bellevue Street in the New Chicago area on
Labor Day.
Each perturbation involved two policemen and the area's
dwellers. In each case a citizen was so brutally beaten until
medical attention was necessitated. In each case tension premeated 
throughout the city. In each incident there were mass
arrests and fines. In each case there were conflicting testimonies
in court. In each case the policemen were not held responsible
for any part of the perturbation.
We suggest that an investigation be made immediately before 
such perturbations become commonplace in Memphis.
We suggest that this investigation be made by disinterested 
parties. By this we moan . . . persons who are not obligated
to color their findings in favor of the police department nor
the citizens involved . . . but reveal facts as they are uncovered. 

It is not likely that all of the citizens arrested and fined
are at fault for the upheavals. By the same token it is not believeable 
that the policemen involved are totally at fault.
It would appear, that policemen should have the rights of
citizens clearly defined and clearly understood. Citizens must
understand that they subject themselves to punishment for infractions. 
However, this punishment should not be meted out
by incensed policemen with deadly weapons in their hand and
racial prejudices in their hearts.
Further, no citizen should be forced to accept double
jeopardy . . . an uncalled for brutal beating by a policeman
. . . then a fine by a court.
On the other side of the coin — citizens do not have the
right to prevent a policeman from preforming his duty in a
proper manner.
We call for an investigation. We do not want our city
ruled by police brutality. We do not wont our city erupted by
citizen upheavals . . . both lead to wide-spread mob violence.

Continued Good Health Mayor Orgill
Mayor Edmond Orgill has weathered another serious operation 
amazingly well. He was discharged from Methodist Hospital 
las week. His first serious operation early in July, forced
him out of the race for re-election.
The mayor's physician predicts that he will be well enough
to return to his busy desk at city hall within 10 days.
We wish Mayor Orgill a quick recovery and continued good
health.

Too Much Is Being Said
Personal feelings about Negro students attending Memphis
State University this fall should not be expressed publicly. Individual 
feelings expressed publicly cannot serve the best interest 
of the student body, the institution or the city.
President Jack Millard Smith and Dean R. M. Robinson
showed little wisdom in their statements. It would appear that
they do not have the interest and continued progress of the institution 
at heart.
Too much is being said about the integration of MSU. A
Federal Court has spoken. Let us be governed by its decision,
and not by our individual feelings.

Teach Traffic Safety
With schools opening all over the country, it is necessary
that parents teach their children habits of traffic safety. That
is true in both urban and rural areas where young children
have to use and cross busy streets and highways on their way
to and from school.
Although schools and police departments have consolidated 
their efforts to protect and teach safety education to these
children, their parents should not depend entirely on educators 
and police. The Accident Prevention Unit of the Maryland 
Department of Health has laid down three rules for parents 
to teach their children. We list these rules here for the
information of local mot tiers and fathers:
(1) Parents need to set a good example and to insist on
obedience to crossing guards and traffic signals.
(2) Children who walk to school should go by the safest
route and be sent early enough so that there is no need for
them to hurry. If they must walk on a highway, they should
walk to the left and face oncoming traffic.
(3) Before children are permitted to ride bicycles in the
street, they should be taught the rules of the road. The bicycle
should be kept in safe condition and carry no extra passengers.
Bicycles should be ridden in single file without weaving. The
riders should keep both feel on the pedals and give hand signals 
when indicated.
And, needless to say, motorists should realize that children,
by nature are impulsive and unpredictable. Therefore, it is important 
for drivers of motor vehicles to be particularly watchful 
and careful in the vicinity of schools and during the hours
when school children may be on the streets. They should keep
a safe distance behind the car ahead and pass only when it is
safe to do so.
Surely, every one — traffic officers, police, teachers, parents, 
motorists, and the children themselves should cooperate
to avoid the possibilities of tragedies due to motor-vehicle accidents.

MY WEEKLY
SERMON
By
REV. BLAIR T. HUNT
PASTOR
MISSISSIPPI BLVD. CHRISTIAN CHURCH

"If absence makes the heart grow
fonder, how some people must love
the church."
Let us attend church, it is God's
trysting place with man.
Thomas by being absent from
the meeting on the day that Jesus
came, missed the privilege of seeing
Jesus who had throttled death, hell
and the grave. Thomas missed seeing 
Him who brought light into
darkness and immortality into
death, who would have changed
his sobbing into singing and night
into marvelous day.
It is absolutely essential that
those who are to count for God
in this present world must not forsake 
the assembling of themselves
together with other Christians in
the place of worship, because of
their own spiritual needs and because 
of the needs of the church.
Everything deteriorates in the
world. The violin drops a tone the
razor loses its edge, that spark plug
gathers carbon, the battery weakens, 
the watch runs down.
We need a regular tuning, a repeated 
winding, a constant charpening. 
The house of God is the
place in which these things are
done.
The Sabbath which God forbade
people to profane belonged to the
old dispensation as a holy institution. 

It was transferred from the
seventh day of the week to the
first day of the week on the day of
Christ's resurrection and was hence
forth to be known as the Lord's
day, which we are to keep holy in
commemoration of Christ's finished 
redemptive work, just as the
seventh day was kept in commemoration 
of God's finished creation. 

The seventh day was by the wisdom 
of God a Jewish institution.
The firs day is by the purpose of
God a Christian institution.
As often as we observe the first
day instead of the seventh as a
day of rest and worship we declare 
the superiority of the dispensation 
of grace to the dispensation 
of law.
We declare that the resurrection
of Christ was of greater effect in
the world's history than was the
creation of the earth.
Church attendance, that is regular 
is absolutely, essential to the
healthy, normal Christian. Regular
church attendance, is vital for one's
spritoal welfare and equally important 
as an opportunity to contribute 
something from one's life,
experience, presence and prayers to
the souls of others.
To forsake the assembling of
Christians together is to sin wilfully. 
Read Hebrews 10:25-26.
Be glad to attend church for
Jesus has promised to meet you
there.

$20,000 Added To LeMoyne
College Endowment Fund
Another $20,000 has been added
to LeMoyne College's endowment,
bringing, it to a total of $210,000, it
was announced this week by President 
Hollis F. Price.
The additional money represents
a gift of $10,000 from the Danforth
Foundation in St. Louis, Mo., plus
a matching gift of $10,000 from the
American Missionary Association.
LeMoyne was founded by the

American Missionary Association
and still receives much of its support 
from the AMA.
Announcement of the endowment 
increase came at a time
when LeMoyne was registering what
may be the largest enrollment in
the history of the college. The enrollment 
increase this year is due
to an unusually large number of
freshmen.

REAL ESTATE DIGEST
If, in the contract of employment, 
nothing is said in regard to
the rate of commission, then the
broker is entitled to a reasonable
rate of compensation, which rate
is the one used generally in the
business in the particular locality
in which the property is situated.
It is assumed here, of course,
that broker is licensed. Since an
owner entrusts his property for
sale to a person whose ordinary
business it is to sell real estate on
a commission basis, the law presumes, 
in the absence of any agreement 
to the contrary, that commission 
or compensation is to be
paid for the services rendered. In
order to avoid any controversy or
future litigation, it is always desirable 
that the rate of compensation 
should be agreed upon in advance, 
at the time of the employment. 

Where a broker performs his
contract under an express contract
of employment there is little danger 
of such broker being deprived
of his commission. Lacking an express 
contract of employment, however, 
a broker under certain conditions 
may prove a valid contract
of employment by circumstances
amounting to ratification or adoption 
on the part of the owner of
an unauthorized contract of employment. 

Where the principal, by his action, 
has taken advantage of or appropriated 
the benefits of the services 
of the broker under such
circumstances that would render
the withholding of a remuneration
inequitable, the courts will recognize 
and enforce the broker's claim
to commission.
It has become a common practice 
for an owner to leave property

for sale with a number of real estate 
brokers. When this is done,
the rule of law is that they possess
concurrent authority to sell, and
that the sale of the property by
one of them terminates the agencies 
of the others by removing the
subject matter of the contract. It
is advisable for an owner listing
a property for sale with a number
of real estate brokers to inform
each broker that the property has
been listed for sale with other concerns, 
and that upon the sale of
the property by one, the employment 
of the others shall automatically 
cease.
The tendency in real estate circles 
at the present time is away
from concurrent authority towards
exclusive listings. A real estate
broker generally desires some assurance 
that he will have the unrestricted 
right for a certain period 
of time to negotiate a sale of
the properly in question and that
his investment in the form of advertising 
and time will be protected 
by an exclusive agency during
the agreed upon period of time.
Patents please encourage your
sons and daughters to enroll and
study these two courses offered by
Tennessee A&I University at Nashville, 
Tenn. Real estate and salesmanship.

NOT BY GUNS ALONE
By E.M. Baker

 Reynolds & Sons; distributed by King Features Syndicate
BEULAH DENHART was not
used to riding. She had arrived 
at the Kilgore ranch a little
past noon, sore and tired, after
a ten-mile ride.
But she wasn't thinking of her
aching muscles now. She hadn't
thought about them when Rachel
Kilgore had picked out a tell bay
for her to ride. She had simply
thrown her saddle on him,
climbed aboard, grabbed the horn
with one hand and due in her
spurs.
She didn't stop to think, either,
why it was that after she got
down into the foothills she made
the turn that would take her to
Frenchy Quebedeaux's place instead 
of directly in to Barrancas
for the sheriff. All she was aware
of was a feeling that Frenchy
was the strongest person she
knew, the most likely to be able
and willing to do what she asked.
It was dusk when she got to
the sheep ranch. Bacho was bringing 
the sheep into shelter, and
smoke curling from the chimney
told her Frenchy was home.
She pulled up and slid out of
the saddle. The door was closed
but she opened it and went in
without stopping to knock.
Frenchy turned as she opened
the door. An incredulous look as
of a man fleeing visions swept
over his face.
Beulah's eyes swept around the
room. "Slade isn't back yet?"
Frenchy shook his head, seemingly 
still not able to find his
voice.
Beulah looked at him, standing
there so big and solid and dependable. 
Suddenly she ran across
the room toward him. Her
breath came out of her tight,
choked throat in a sob. "Frenchy!
I—I'm scared!"
Slowly, with that sleepwalking
look still on his face, the big
Frenchman raised his hands and
put them on her shoulders. Beulah 
pressed closer. She leaned
her head against his breast, while
tired, frightened sobs that, she
couldn't control any longer came
up out of her throat in convulsive
gasps. Frenchy's arms went
around her gently.
After a moment she drew back,
wiping her eyes on the back of
her hand like a tearful child.
"Frenchy—you've got to help —
but I don't know how!"
"But of course!" he said simply. 
"Anytheeng!"
Beulah smiled at him wanly.
"Frenchy, you're a swell person.
I guess I should have gone to
Sheriff Duffus—but he is so slowmoving—and 
he and Wynn are
such good friends."
"Wynn?" Frenchy asked sharply. 
"Why you come to me about
heem?"
Beulah tried to start at the
beginning and tell him everything
as clearly as Martha had told it
to her, but when she finished he
was shaking his head. His
straight black brows, met in a
puzzled frown over the high
bridge of his nose.
"Wheech man ees eet you are
wanting to halp?" he asked
sharply.
Beulah's eyes widened in surprise. 
"Why, Slade, of course.
Don't you understand? He has
gone up to the Valle Medio. Wynn
—or Tony—has already killed one
man today. They will surely kill
Slade, too. Wynn hates Slade,
He always has, and now this Forest 
Service business had turned
him into a crazy man."
She put up a hand and brushed
the thick red hair back from her
forehead. "Two months ago if
anybody had tried to tell me anything 
would ever turn Wynn into
a killer. I would have laughed
in his face."
Behind them the door opened
Bacho stood for a surprised moment, 
seeing how close they were
together, seeing the look that was
on big Frenehy's face.
He started to back out and
close the door, but Frenchy
stopped him. "Wait, Bacho! We
need you!"
Beulah looked up intently at
Frenchy. "Do you want to send
him to Barrancas after the sheriff? 
He can take my horse. I
know he will make better time
than I could."
Frenchy shook his head. "We
don need the shereef. I take
Bacho up to the Valle Medio
weeth me. He got more sense
than ten shereefs!"
Beulah looked a little doubtful
about that, but she didn't protest. 

From a nail oh the wall Frenchy 
took down the cartridge belt
and gun that he seldom wore and
strapped it around his hips. He
shrugged his broad shoulders into
a leather coat.
Suddenly realizing that she was
sending him into the same danger
that threatened Slade Considine,
Beulah caught at his sleeve as he
started for the door. "Frenchy—
I—I—" she foundered helplessly,
then caught her breath and started 
again. "Please—-be careful! I
—I wouldn't want you to be hurt,
too!"
Frenchy's dark eyes deepened
and softened. Then with a quick
movement he put his hands on
her shoulders, bent his head and
kissed her lightly on the forehead.
"I be careful," he promised. "I
be putty darn careful. I wan' to
come back now!"
It had been an awkward caress, 
and yet there was something 
so almost reverent about it,

and a tone so tender in his voice,
that it penetrated even the girl's
fear for Slade Considine.
She looked up at him with wide
eyes, and what she saw in his
dark, good-looking face brought
a sudden, almost intolerable ache
to her throat. She knew so well
what it meant to love someone
who didn't love in return. A wave
of red came up into her white
cheeks.
"Gosh, Frenchy!" she breathed.
"I—I never even suspected—"
He patted her shoulder. "!" he said a little roughly. "I
never tol' you, did I?"
He went out the door. Bacho,
who had been slower getting into
his coat, lingered a moment. "If
you want to wait here till we get
back there's a bedroom back
there." He nodded toward the
closed door in the back wall of
the long room.
"Thanks, Bacho," the girl said.
Bacho looked at her intently.
"Frenchy built that room a year
ago for a girl he wanted to marry," 
he said quietly.
"What happened to the girl?"
Beulah asked, as if she already
knew the answer.
"She got herself engaged to
somebody else. Frenchy was jolly
well cut up about it at first. He
shut up that room and hasn't
allowed anybody to set foot in
there since."
"Thank you for telling me,
Bacho," Beulah said in a voice
filled with wonder.
Tony Miller was panting as he
looked down on Slade Considine's
unconscious figure—not from exertion 
but from sudden, violent
excitement—the excitement that
always came to him with the feeling 
of power over another human
being.
He had hated Slade Considine
since he had first come to the
Chupaderos. Hated him because
he was heir to the big 143 ranch;
hated him and savagely envied
the good looks and easy charm
that would have made Slade popular 
even if he had been penniless: 
hated him most of all because 
Slade had treated him
with amused contempt, as if he
thought his tough guy pose was
all bluff.
Neither Tony nor Wynn had
suffered anything more serious
than shallow flesh wounds from
Slade's two hits. But now Tony
was glad that Wynn was unconscious. 
Wynn was a weakling. He
wanted Slade dead, but he would
never have stood for the way
Tony was going to do it....

eyes, and what she saw in his
dark, good-looking face brought
a sudden, almost intolerable ache
to her throat. She knew so well
what it meant to love someone
who didn't love in return. A wave
of red came up into her white
cheeks.
"Gosh, Frenchy!" she breathed.
"I—I never even suspected—"
He patted her shoulder. "!" he said a little roughly. "I
never tol' you, did I?"
He went out the door. Bacho,
who had been slower getting into
his coat, lingered a moment. "If
you want to wait here till we get
back there's a bedroom back
there." He nodded toward the
closed door in the back wall of
the long room.
"Thanks, Bacho," the girl said.
Bacho looked at her intently.
"Frenchy built that room a year
ago for a girl he wanted to marry," 
he said quietly.
"What happened to the girl?"
Beulah asked, as if she already
knew the answer.
"She got herself engaged to
somebody else. Frenchy was jolly
well cut up about it at first. He
shut up that room and hasn't
allowed anybody to set foot in
there since."
"Thank you for telling me,
Bacho," Beulah said in a voice
filled with wonder.
Tony Miller was panting as he
looked down on Slade Considine's
unconscious figure—not from exertion 
but from sudden, violent
excitement—the excitement that
always came to him with the feeling 
of power over another human
being.
He had hated Slade Considine
since he had first come to the
Chupaderos. Hated him because
he was heir to the big 143 ranch;
hated him and savagely envied
the good looks and easy charm
that would have made Slade popular 
even if he had been penniless: 
hated him most of all because 
Slade had treated him
with amused contempt, as if he
thought his tough guy pose was
all bluff.
Neither Tony nor Wynn had
suffered anything more serious
than shallow flesh wounds from
Slade's two hits. But now Tony
was glad that Wynn was unconscious. 
Wynn was a weakling. He
wanted Slade dead, but he would
never have stood for the way
Tony was going to do it....

HAMILTON HIGH SCHOOL NEWS
Hamilton is reaching for its highest 
peak this year, since the enrollment 
of the school is getting
larger and the faculty is increasing. 
We have several new teachers
and more are expected.
The school's first Orientation assembly 
program was held last Friday 
in the gym. There were many
new faces. Students were briefed
on the rules and privileges for the
coming year. You could tell without 
counting, there has been a
great increase in the student body.

The gym was filled to capacity
and many were left standing.
We will certainly be glad to see
the completion of our new auditorium. 

Our band has started practicing 
for another year. This band is
the largest in Hamilton's history.
There are 73 members under the
leadership of Prof. Thomas Doggett. 
The band recently elected officers. 
They are: Wrensey Gill,
president; Robert Carpenter, vice
president; Pearlyn Banks, secretary; 
Paulette Brinkley; asst. sect;
Vera Edwards, treasurer; Bettye
Ewing, reporter. With these leaders,
we assume it will be one or the
tops in the city.
The Hamilton football team is
looking forward to one of it's most
successful seasons. There are 17
lettermen returning out of a squad
of 35. Just recently the captains
were elected. The election was based 
on "the most capable for leadership." 
The men chosen were
Robert Flynn, the captain, and
Ervin "Pete" Freeman, the co-captain. 
There has also been an addition 
to the coaching staff. The line
coach is Clarence Brownley, a
graduate of Tennessee A & I State
University. Along with head coach
Earl "Porky" Wynn and his assistant. 
Jesse Joseph and Freddie 
Jones, they make up one of
the best coaching staffs' in the
city.
The Wildcats went to Helena,
Ark., to play Eliza Miller High
School. Unfortunately they were
beaten by a very good team. They
have been practicing bard for their
first game against the Douglass
Red Devils in the first prep league
game of the city.

starting time and day from 3:30 p.
m., every second and fourth Friday
to 3 p. m., every second and fourth
Monday. The next meeting is scheduled 
for Monday, Sept. 28.
A request was made by a reporter 
to hold a certain number of
night meetings "to accommodate interested 
citizens who are not available 
in the afternoon." Chairman
of the board replied "we have considered 
that before. However, we
will take it under advisement."

Roach Poison

"I felt her and saw she was cold,
although not stiff. I then saw the
glass of roach powder which she
had evidently prepared for herself 
sitting on the ironing board.
It was also coming out of her
mouth."
The victim was alone in her
apartment. Her mother was keeping 
her daughters 2-year-old son,
Preptiss, for her.
Miss Cleaborn was a former
member of the Women's Air Force,
having been discharged about three
years ago.
Neighbors said that the victim
"kept to herself and didn't associate 
much."
The roach poison is given to
Cleaborn Homes tenants upon request. 
It is 95 per cent sodium
fluoride. The victim was taken to
John Gaston Hospital where an
autopsy was performed.
Beside her mother, Miss Cleaborn
is survived by her father, Everett
Cleaborn, Sr., of the Farrington
address: four brothers, Milton H.
Cleaborn, 25, and Lawrence Lee

Paralytic Polio
Cases Show Drop
The
number of reported new paralytic
polio cases showed a decline last
week for the first time in 16
weeks, the Public Health service
reported Friday.
New polio, cases totalled 536 last
week, an increase over the 534 new
cases reported the previous week.
But there were 291 paralytic cases
compared with 334 the previous
Week.
The number of paralytic cases reported 
weekly has been increasing
steadily since the week ended may
23.
The Health Service cautioned
that the downward trend last week
was hot necessarily indicative because 
reports from several states
were incomplete due to the Labor
Day holiday.

tion in public school and other
public institutions."
The resolution concluded "we express 
our disapproval of the public 
criticism by Dr. Jackson and
we endorse wholeheartedly the reply 
and statement of policy made
by Mr. Hoy Wilkins, executive secretary 
of the NAACP.
When Wilkins replied to Dr.
Jackson's telegram he expressed
distress and shock "in light of the
readily available factual date on
the Little Rock situation." That a
"pubic attack on the NAACP
should have appeared at this time,
especially from the president of
the largest Baptist organization
(Five Million Membership) organization 
in the nation."
"The NAACP cannot decide when
and where to conduct a lawsuit
Any assumption to the contrary
illustrates that the Dixie propaganda 
to the effect that our activities 
are harassing the South and
preventing the functioning of good
will in school desegregation, have
peretrated even the hierarchy of a
great Negro church denomination.
We act only at the request of parents 
who have been rebuffed by
local officials and who wish to press
their petitions in behalf of their
children," explained Wilkins' reply.
Wilkins pointed out in his reply 
to Dr. Jackson "in the specific
Little Rock case, several basic factors 
were involved hiving direct
bearing on the legal rights of some
of the students and having, too, a
bearing on the legal rights of future 
Negro students."
Explaining funnier, Wilkins stated 
(1) "The Little Rock school
board failed to assign to Central
High school all the Negro students 
who had formerly extended
under an order of the Federal
count. Unless legal action were undertaken 
in behalf of these students, 
their rights already determined, 
would have been waived.
"(2) Under the original plan approved 
by the Federal Court, school
officiate were to allocate children
to the high schools on the basis of
attendance area.
"(3) The Little Rock school
board was proceeding, it said, under 
the Arkansas pupil assignment
law. It assigned six Negro children,
out of 50-odd applicants, to school
along with white children. If no
Negro parent appealed such an assignment, 
if the law were left unchallenged, 
it could set a pattern
that would be increasingly difficult
to congest and could perpetuate the
segregated school system for another 
50 years."
While stating the policy of the
NAACP Wilkins told Dr. Jackson
"the NAACP has no desire to harass
anyone. We are committed to legal
action first." He added "White
southerners have made legal action
more necessary than ever throughout
the enactment by state legislatures
hundreds of laws frankly placed
on the books to circumvent the
Supreme Court ruling" on school
desegregation.
Wilkins went on to say that "unless 
Negro citizens proceed in
peaceful but determined fashion to
vindicate in courts" their rights under 
the 1954 Courtruling, "we will
see a period of nullification scimilar 
to the "separate but equal ruling 
of the Court in 1896 White
Southerners made no effort to comply 
with the "equal but separate"
doctrine. They developed the "separate

criticism by Dr. Jackson and
we endorse wholeheartedly the reply 
and statement of policy made
by Mr. Hoy Wilkins, executive secretary 
of the NAACP.
When Wilkins replied to Dr.
Jackson's telegram he expressed
distress and shock "in light of the
readily available factual date on
the Little Rock situation." That a
"pubic attack on the NAACP
should have appeared at this time,
especially from the president of
the largest Baptist organization
(Five Million Membership) organization 
in the nation."
"The NAACP cannot decide when
and where to conduct a lawsuit
Any assumption to the contrary
illustrates that the Dixie propaganda 
to the effect that our activities 
are harassing the South and
preventing the functioning of good
will in school desegregation, have
peretrated even the hierarchy of a
great Negro church denomination.
We act only at the request of parents 
who have been rebuffed by
local officials and who wish to press
their petitions in behalf of their
children," explained Wilkins' reply.
Wilkins pointed out in his reply 
to Dr. Jackson "in the specific
Little Rock case, several basic factors 
were involved hiving direct
bearing on the legal rights of some
of the students and having, too, a
bearing on the legal rights of future 
Negro students."
Explaining funnier, Wilkins stated 
(1) "The Little Rock school
board failed to assign to Central
High school all the Negro students 
who had formerly extended
under an order of the Federal
count. Unless legal action were undertaken 
in behalf of these students, 
their rights already determined, 
would have been waived.
"(2) Under the original plan approved 
by the Federal Court, school
officiate were to allocate children
to the high schools on the basis of
attendance area.
"(3) The Little Rock school
board was proceeding, it said, under 
the Arkansas pupil assignment
law. It assigned six Negro children,
out of 50-odd applicants, to school
along with white children. If no
Negro parent appealed such an assignment, 
if the law were left unchallenged, 
it could set a pattern
that would be increasingly difficult
to congest and could perpetuate the
segregated school system for another 
50 years."
While stating the policy of the
NAACP Wilkins told Dr. Jackson
"the NAACP has no desire to harass
anyone. We are committed to legal
action first." He added "White
southerners have made legal action
more necessary than ever throughout
the enactment by state legislatures
hundreds of laws frankly placed
on the books to circumvent the
Supreme Court ruling" on school
desegregation.
Wilkins went on to say that "unless 
Negro citizens proceed in
peaceful but determined fashion to
vindicate in courts" their rights under 
the 1954 Courtruling, "we will
see a period of nullification scimilar 
to the "separate but equal ruling 
of the Court in 1896 White
Southerners made no effort to comply 
with the "equal but separate"
doctrine. They developed the "separate 
part into gross injustice and
refined cruelty."
