"Separate But Equal?" — There's No
Such Animal
A typical statement concerning segregation issued by some
of the white candidates who seek election or re-election in the
Aug. 20 municipal election runs along this line: "I am in favor
of continued, separate but equal facilities, for I believe this is
in the best interest of both races."
Continued "separate but equal" facilities "in the best in-
terest of both races?" What do the segregationists mean by this?
Let's take a good hard look.
First, let's see what continued "separate but equal" facilities
will mean at the zoo. It will mean the same thing — six days
for our white citizens and one day for our Negro citizens. The
segregationists are such bad mathematicians that have for
years, divided seven days by two and come up with six for
white people and one for colored people. This mathematical
law has also applied at the fairgrounds and the art gallery.
How about "separate but equal" parks? Each one of the
three big white parks — Overton, Riverside and Aubudon — is
in itself bigger than all the little Negro parks combined. And
since the white citizens also have their little parks, the inequality
is made even greater. The segregationist mathematicians will
have us to believe that three big white parks are the equivalent
of no big Negro parks.
Parks would include the golf courses. The segregationist
"separate but equal" mathematicians have decreed that sevenwhite 
golf courses are the equivalent of one Negro golf course.
Continued "separate but equal" facilities in "the best interest 
of both races?" How would this apply to buses? Somehow 
or the other the segregationist mathematicians do a little
better here. They divide the bus in half and give one section
to white citizens and the other section to Negro citizens. But,
strangely, they have always given the Negroes the section with
the motor on it — and in this case one divided by two does not
equal a half. The segregatoinist mathematicians have applied
the theory to trains, only this time the Negroes have been given
the front section so they could be closer to the engine.
Continued "separate but equal" facilities? It is something
for Negroes to think about at the movies or the wrestling
matches at the auditorium as they watch in comfort from their
lofly perches up in the buzzard's roost. The segregationist mathematicians 
explain this one by saying in this kind of division the
Negroes are closer to heaven.
Separate? Negroes have gotten plenty of it. "Separate but
equal?" There's no such animal!

The Steel Strike
It is too early to say hew costly the present steel strike
will be, or whether it will be a long one. It is not too early to
say that hopes that such a strike could be avoided have now
been dashed.
President Eisenhower, and the Administration, exhibited a
keen concern about the threatened strike from the beginning.
However, the Administration stayed largely out of the picture,
although the mediation service of the Labor Department has
now been requested to seek a settlement by the President.
There is no reason to hope that this will be an early task,
Even for the federal mediation and conciliation service. The
long negotiation between management and union failed because 
neither side gave in an inch, on anything very importtant 
and both sides seemed reconciled to the idea that a strike
was inevitable.
However, there seems to be one hope for an equitable
settlement. The union could obtain wage increases if it would
agree to a proposal which would eliminate some inefficiency
wasted time and some loafing. In other words, if management
could save money by knocking out waste and inefficiency, it
could then afford to grant pay raises, even if some percentage
of this did not come out of the savings effected, and such pay
raises would not necessarily add inflationary pressure to the
economy. This is based on the assumption that management
would seek to absorb some slight increase in pay cost, without
hiking the price of steel.
The union for its part, would agree to more efficiency, and
Perhaps less wasted time and better procedures, in the process
of production.
This would afford no great sacrifice on the part of either,
and might be the basis for a settlement of the strike. Any long
strike, which seriously affects the economy, would be highly
undesirable in the present booming, business period. Such a
long strike is probably not likely, and a short strike will do little, 
if any, harm, for everyone has been expecting one, and
most manufacturers have laid in a good supply of steel, in anticipation 
of the strike which now exists.

Try Three Simple Rules On Your Next
Weekend Junket
It has been quite some time since we engaged in an essay
on safety. From this sector, we have a set policy to occasionally, 
warn those who use the highways and recreation centers
on weekends. If has been felt a duty and if just one life is
saved, a definite service has been rendered.
It is to be regretted that the weekends bring in a bumper
harvest of casualties.
Head-on collision, killing four at one shot, those sideswiped 
spurts in which serious property damage and injury
are the results, do not commend our weekend behavior to any
applause.
We are still inclined to beg those who use the highways,
for their own sake, to drive carefully and constantly be alert to
any unexpected action of others who are less thoughtful.
Persons should avail themselves of every visible facility
in order to insure their own safety on the highway.
Taking, a chance at passing, counter to highway markings,
is a infraction on our morals of the road. The person who does
not, occasionally look into the rear mirror to see what is behind
him is a serious liability on the road.
We resolve around this reply from a motorist who has
taken weekends oh the highway for every Sunday in the last
11 years and has not had a single accident. When asked to
explain his safe passage on the same highways with crosses
all along the way as markers where persons were killed, he
replied. "I do more driving from the behind than in front."
This is a habit and those drivers who would tike to
make contribution to the safety program should try this gazing 
in the mirror to see how close someone is pushing upon
them or who is frying to take a chance at passing and how
close on is to the bumper of the next vehicle.
Try these precautions on your next weekend junket.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
To The Editor:
Frequently you see in ads in the
daily papers about same interested
firm urging its youth to, "Stay
South, Young Man, Stay South."
Of course these firms are appealing 
to white youth, but I was just
thinking if the plea had been made
to the young Negroes of the community. 
Needless to say, the appeal
would probably, be turned down
flat because there's nothing here for
Negroes. All the good jobs go to
the white people, and even so
Southerners have to beg them to
stay because the grass is much
greener somewhere else.
Why a man with a master's in
engineering has to settle for a job
as a bus bay in the South is beyond 
me. That's why I left.

To The Editor:
I would like to make a protest
against all those noisy trucks that
rumble up Lauderdale Street every
night. We in the Foote and Cleaborn 
Homes who are close to the
noise of these monsters can't get
hardly any sleep.
I thought that the police department 
has cracked down on these
truck drivers, and had required
them to get mufflers. Apparently
somebody muffed!
SLEEPY RESIDENT
Memphis
To The Editor:
I and many other Negroes are
shocked by the statements made by
Commissioner Henry Loeb the past
two years, especially since it was
a big chunk of the Negro vote
which swept him into office shortly 
after the death of E. H. Crump.
None of us thought at that time
that Commissioner Loeb would suggest 
that we be given a housing
area out by the penal farm where,
as he put it, we "can live in peace."
This suggestion was the straw that
broke the camel's back.
As Mr. (Russell) Sugarmon, our
candidate for commissioner of public 
works, has so aptly put it, "Commissioner 
Loeb comes from one of
the finest Jewish families la Memphis, 
and history is full of accounts
of the struggle of the Jew against
hatred and oppression as vicious as
that we Negroes experience here
in the South."
An example of this "struggle of
line Jew against hatred" which Mr.
Sugarmon refers to is the recent
incident in which the president of
the West Side Tennis Club, in
snubbing Dr. Ralph Bunhhe's son
because he is a Negro, also said
that Jews were just as taboo as
Negroes. Could Commissioner Loeb
have joined this club?
J. G.
Memphis
To The Editor:
It would be folly if Negroes of
this city would give little importance
to the Board of Education races in
the Aug. 20 election.
We have two fine citizens running 
for the Board, Dr. Henry Bunton, 
pastor of Mt. Olive Cathedral,
end Dr. Roy Love, pastor of Mt.
Nebo Baptist Church.
It has been said that Negroes
should support some of the liberal
whites who might be running
against Rev. Love and Rev. Bunton 
but the present Board, it should
be remembered, has not taken any
known steps to comply with the
1954 ruling of the United States Superme 
Court. There are Negro students 
who have to go miles out of
their way to attend Booker T.
Washington, Hamilton, Lester and
after "Negro schools" when South
Side. White Station, Humes and
other schools are right in their back
yards, and should be available for
their use.
So don't forget Rev. Love and
Rev. Bunton on Aug. 20, as well as
the other Negro candidates.

I wholeheartedly agree with the
writer of the "Notwithstanding"
column in his recent statement that
Memphis politicians have got to
quit coming out with a big red
banner with black letters, "I'm A
Segregationist," and still expect to
get She Negro vote.
I think it is time that white candidates 
begin to base the planks in
their platforms on good will rather
than on race-baiting. Oh, I know
that the Uncle Toms (and believe
me, this town is filled with them)
will say it's just politics to take
the strong segregation stand, but
this still doesn't help the situation
any. With all these folks going
around year after year stirring up
emotions, how can we expect a
change to the goodwill which this
city needs so badly?

Washington, Hamilton, Lester and
after "Negro schools" when South

FORREST TRACY
Memphis
To The Editor:
I wholeheartedly agree with the
writer of the "Notwithstanding"
column in his recent statement that
Memphis politicians have got to
quit coming out with a big red
banner with black letters, "I'm A
Segregationist," and still expect to
get She Negro vote.
I think it is time that white candidates 
begin to base the planks in
their platforms on good will rather
than on race-baiting. Oh, I know
that the Uncle Toms (and believe
me, this town is filled with them)
will say it's just politics to take
the strong segregation stand, but
this still doesn't help the situation
any. With all these folks going
around year after year stirring up
emotions, how can we expect a
change to the goodwill which this
city needs so badly?

"YOU MOVED over here to the
Walking K — or have you
taken to doing all your riding before 
sunup?" Slade Considine
asked Wynn Thomason.
A faint flush spread over
Wynn's good-looking face. He
hesitated and Rachel Kilgore answered 
for Mm.
"I don't know as it is any of
your business, young man, but
that sounded like an insinuating
question. Wynn stayed at my
house last night. Considering the
ungodly hour he brought Martha
home from the dance, and the
fact that ha had a lame horse,
I couldn't see the sense in him
riding another seven miles."
"Thank you, Mrs. Kilgore,"
Slade grinned at her.
He found, somewhat to his own
surprise, that he was beginning
to rather like this tart-tongued,
forthright-speaking old lady. Perhaps 
she was a trouble maker
but she wag an honest one if
there could be such a thing.
Martha was looking at him
with the cool, withdrawn look
people sometimes save for not
very, interesting strangers. There
was in her face none of the
warmth he had imagined he had
seen there for one magic moment 
on Rachel Kilgore's porch
the day before.
It occurred to him that sometime 
he would tell her why he had
not gone to the dance, but now
seemed hardly the time or the
place. Seeing her cool gaze slide
off his face, he couldn't believe
it had really made any difference
to her anyhow.
Jim Ned Wheeler's dry voice
broke the silence. "I hope you
can say as much for your friend
Frencby's whereabouts last
night."
"You don't hope any such thing,
Jim Ned," Rachel cut in sharply.
"That lousy sheepman killed this
bull, and I hope Slade's got sense
enough not to try to stick up for
him."
"Frenchy wasn't out of his
cabin last night not until seven
o'clock this morning, when I
called him out to look at his
horse. Somebody borrowed the
bay last night and nearly rode
the lungs out of him. Frenchy
had nothing to do with it."
Rachel Kilgore's sharp black
eyes were boring into him like
gimlets. "So that's your story,
eh?"
'That's my story and it's the
truth!" Slade raid flatly. He
pulled out tobacco and papers
and slowly foiled a smoke.
"As an officer of the law it is
your duty to arrest a man on
a citizen's sworn complaint, isn't
it?"
Slade shook his head. "You've
got me confused with the sheriff,
ma'am the sheriff you elected
last fall. It isn't my duty to
arrest Frenchy Quebedeaux on a
lousy, framed-up charge like this.
I won't do it!"
Martha's clear voice suddenly
broke in. "Perhaps lie has his
reasons for being afraid to arrest
Frenchy again!" she said sweetly. 
"I hear he tried it yesterday
and some of Frenchy's friends
objected!"
As the girl's meaning sank
home, the wave of anger that
rose up in the cowboy felt like
a not collar around his throat.
From the others he had expected
obstinacy and opposition. From
them it was understandable. But
to have this sweet-faced, cleareyed 
girl believe anything that
was told her somehow cut deep.
He swallowed once, searching
in his mind for something that
would hurt her as he had been
hurt.
"I sea that you have something 
of your grandmother's
tongue and disposition after all.
Miss Kilgore," he said politely.
The girl caught her breath. Her
face turned pink, and her little
chin went up. "Thank you," she
said sweetly.
Rachel Kilgore eyed them with
malicious amusement. She turned
to Wynn Thomason and chuckled.
"Why don't you climb his frame
for that, Wynn?" she demanded.
"That was meant to be an insult."
Wynn looked at her uncertainly. 
He had never quite got over
his small-boy awe of the old lady,
and could never figure out in
time a suitable answer for her
acid banter. "Why" he began
hesitantly.
"I'm going back to the house,"
Martha interrupted him abruptly.
Rachel Kilgore threw out a restraining 
arm. "Just a minute,
my dear." she turned to Slade
again. "I am going to town this
afternoon," she said caimly, "and
swear out ft warrant for your
arrest — and Frenchy Quebedeaux's. 
Frenchy butchered one
of Wynn's calves yesterday, ant
it will be obvious to any cattleman 
jury that he had a hand in
killing this bull too. As for you
everybody present heard you
claim yesterday that you had authority 
to kill any of my live
stock you found off my range
I am going to give you a chance
to prove that in court."
She smiled tranquilly, "Then I
shall see if your friend, Captain
Captain - I believe he due in
Barrancas today is ready to call
off the war, I think he will underatand 
at last that we here in
the Chupaderos means business!"
Slade reined his horse about.
"You have a mighty big job
ahead of you, ma'am," he said
imperturbably. "You may get me,
but Uncle Sam's got a heap at
other men. He will be sending
Forest Rangers in here long after
you and I are both gone!"
There didn't seem to be anybody 
in the lobby of the hotel,
so Slade let the screen door slam.
Beulah Denhart's red heed popped
up suddenly from behind the desk.
Her sleeves were pushed way
above her elbows and her hands
dripped soapsuds.
"Well, gee whiz I" she exclaimed, 
and then laughed. "Hello,
Slade! If this don't beat the dickens! 
There hasn't been a soul inside 
the hotel for a week, and
then the first day I decide to do
a little house cleaning everybody
decides to pop in!"
Slade grinned as he crossed
over to the desk. "Who's this
every body you're talking about?
Is Captain Catlin in?"
She shook tier head. "He was
supposed to be, but the Albuquerque 
train is late today. It
won't be in until four." She was
bent over, struggling with the
safety pins she had used to fasten 
the front hem of her dress
up to her knees while she
scrubbed the floor.
Slade leaned an elbow on the
desk and grinned down at her
bent head. "What's the matter,
Beulah? Don't you know that
nothing looks puttier to a cowboy
than, a girl with soap on her
hands or flour, on her nose? Besides, 
you'll have to get over
being embarrassed at getting
caught scrubbing a floor if you
aim to make a good rancher's
wife."
The girl straightened with a
shrug, and laid her hands out
flat on the desk. "I reckon I
don't have to worry about that
any more," she said dryly.
Slade looked down at her ringless 
left band and then back up
to her face. "Why, Beulah! you
don't mean you and Wynn have.
busted up, do you?"
She shrugged and smiled ruefully. 
"You know Wynn! He met
another girl that knocked him for
a loop so he wanted his ring
back. At least he was honest
about It, have to give him
credit for that." She chuckled
dryly, "I hope the never knows
I wore it a year before she got
it."

Estes Asks

was in search of a "Willie T. Jones," 
and that he said he didn't
know a "Willie T. Jones," but that
he was Willie M. Jones. "The man
then made a curse remark and told
me he had come to kill me. He
then reached somewhere in the car
and got a gun and got out. When
he did this. I ran into the house,
shut the front door, and believed
I locked it. Shortly, he came around 
to the back door. He had the
screen pulled back and the gun
pointed in. I told him not to come
in, he did, and I shot."
Jones said he told his daughter,
Barbara Jean Jones, 19 to call

state patrolmen, and she did so.
Jones said the sheriff hit his daughter 
in the mouth before meeting
his doom.
Jones was rushed to Memphis a
few hours after the incident to escape 
white mobsters who were calling 
for a lynch party. There is still
much tension in the area.
Atty. Estes, who has almost been
pressured out of the case, said he
"conferred with Jones for two hours
and forty minuses. We collaborated
on preparation for defense. I gave
him pre-trail advice and acquainted 
him with the roceedings prior
to trial and during trial. After a
long deliberation, I left him well
prepared to further assist me in
the defense.
"Later that afternoon," Atty.
Estes said, "relatives consisting of
a brother, Herman Jones, a sister.
Dorothy Mae Shaw, a brother-inlaw 
and his wife made known to
me individual they had been advised 
by leading white citizens of
Haywood County not to employ a
Negro lawyer, and that frankly
they were afraid to hire a Negro
lawyer.
"I returned with these persons
to acquaint Willie Jones of this
development. Willie Jones after a
prolonged hesitation stated with
reluctancy that they (the relatives) 
had nothing against my service 
and that I was a good lawyer,
but that this daughter. Dorothy
Mae Shaw is teaching in Haywood
County and Herman Jones drives
a delivery truck for a wholesale
company. We are afraid we might
lose out Jobs and suffer harm, one
of the relatives said. "We live there
and you don't know those white
folks like we do."
Atty. Estes said Willie Jones
said: Mr. Estes, I will have to go
along with my kin folks. They are
on the outside, and I am in hare.
I don't want to see them hurt and
I need them to help gather my
crops and take care of my family.
I hate this but this is the way it
is.' Estes, however, talked him out
of it.
There are no Negroes registered
to vote in Haywood County, which
has a majority of Negroes. Atty.
Estes said Negroes malts up 15,000
of the county's population of 36,

of Negroes.

Enforcement Provision

gram this year on grounds it was
time to let tempers cool.
Unlike the 1957 law, which was
restricted largely to voting rights,
Title II would have permitted the
attorney general to act in any denial 
of civil rights.
Cellar said it would, have permitted 
federal intervention on behalf 
of Negro students in desegregation 
oases and "prevented the
corrosion of rights on all levels,
including transportation, labor and
housing."
The Senate Judiciary Committee 
also is getting ready to consider 
a much milder civil rights
the President's Civil Rights Commission 
and require state officials 
to maintain and permit inspection 
of ballots cast in elections 
for federal offices.
Sen. Olin D. Johnston D. S. C.
a member of the Senate judiciary
group, invoked his privilege to
have consideration of the bill delayed 
Monday. The measure was
expected to come before the committee 
nest week.
Even without the enforcement
section, the House bill would be
broader than the Senate legislation. 
The remaining bill contained
Eisenhower's full seven-point program, 
including extension of the
civil tights commission and the voting 
records requirement.
The committee changed the
original ballot preservation section 
Tuesday by cutting the
period required for keeping the
records from three to two years.
It also reduced the penalties for
violating the section from a $5,000
fine and five years imprisonment
to $1,000 fine Bind one year. No
final vote on the provision itself
was taken, however.

The remaining bill contained
Eisenhower's full seven-point program, 
including extension of the
civil tights commission and the voting 
records requirement.
The committee changed the
original ballot preservation section 
Tuesday by cutting the
period required for keeping the
records from three to two years.
It also reduced the penalties for
violating the section from a $5,000
fine and five years imprisonment
to $1,000 fine Bind one year. No
final vote on the provision itself
was taken, however.

The country dog that lives outdoors 
on a year-round basis
should be treated to special care
during the hottest part of the
summer.
His house, which, for the sake
of warmth and protection
against cold winds, was in a
sheltered spot for the winter,
should be moved to breezier
quarters. If the house isn't
equipped with an overhang for
shade, it should be placed under 
a tree, away from the sun.
The flap or door should be
opened.
The dog's drinking dish
should be refilled a couple of
times a day with fresh water.
To make sure it keeps cool and
clean and free of dirt and insects, 
set the pan in an up-ended 
wooden box, with the open
side turned await from the sun.
On extremely hot days your pet
will appreciate, a wetting down
with a hose. Feed him in the
evening when the sun's gone
down.
You may want to follow the
recommendations of many dog
authorities and have your dog
stripped or properly trimmed if
he is still carrying a thick or
heavy winter coat. This eliminates 
heavy dead hair and
speeds up the growing of a light
weight summer coat. Some
breeds of dogs are particularly
susceptible to heat prostration.
Furthermore, overweight dogs,
those weakened by disease and
old dogs that are often suffering
from heart disease, are more
likely to be affected by the heat.
It's a wise precaution to take
such dogs into the house until
the heat wave's over.
Feeding Tips: The proper
amount of fat slows digestion
and renders it more complete.
A quality prepared dog food
such as Friskies provides the
necessary dally amount of fat in
your dog's diet.
