December, 1959
—J. K. Hoyt
And now conies the last month of the year. It seems only
a short time ego that we were at the very beginning of 1959,
and thus each year goes just a little bit faster.
December is probably the most memory-filled month for
most of us. For it contains Christmas, the wonderful Santa Clous
memories, and the holiday season, with its reverence and emphasis 
on peace, brings out the best in man.
It is also a month full of historical anniversaries. The
Monroe. Doctrine was enunciated in 1823 on December 2nd.
illinois joined the Union in 1816, on. December 3rd. President
van Buren ... was born in 1782, in Kinderhook, New York. He
was the eighth President of the; United States.
The 7th is the immortal anniversary of the attack on Pearl
Harbor, which occurred in 1941. Eli Whitney was born on the
8th, in 1765. He invented the cotton gin. Joel Chandler Harris
was born on the 9th, in 1848, near Eatonton, Georgia. The
10th is Wyoming Day, the 11th is Indiana Day, and the 12th
is remembered as the birthday of John Jay, the first Chief
Justice of the United States, who was born in New York on
that date" in 1745. December 14th is remembered as the day
on which Washington died, at Mount Vernon, Virginia, in 1799.
The Boston Tea Party is remembered for December 16th. in
1773. John Greenleaf Whittier was born December 17th, in
Haverhill, Massachusetts. This is also the day of the first successful 
flight in a heavier-than-air machine, by the Wright
brothers, which occurred at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on
this day in 1903.
The Pilgrims landed on December 22nd in 1620, and this
year Winter begins on that same day. The 24th is Christmas
Eve, and on that day, in 1814, the U.S. and England ended
their war. The 25th is Christmas and the 26th is remembered
far the American victory at Trenton, New Jersey, in 1776.
Woodrow Wilson was born on the 28th, in 1856, at Staunton,
Virginia. Iowa was admitted to the Union on December 28th,
1846.
The 29th is remembered as the birthday of Andrew Johnson, 
the seventeenth President of the United States, who was
born in Raleigh, North Carolina, in 1808. Texas became a
State, on December 29th, 1845.
And finally, in, looking over the days of December, on
December 30th, 1855, James Gadsden arranged the Gadsden
Purchase a strip of land that is now in New Mexico and Arizona, 
from Santa Anna for $10,000,000. The tract contained
45,535 square miles. Gadsden, who was from South Carolina,
was seeking a good route for a southern railroad to California, 
and a railroad utilizes this territory.

The Atlanta Board Of Education
Takes First Step
On Monday the Atlanta Board of Education took the first
step towards the elimination, of compulsory racial segregation
in the city's public schools. This action was taken as a recent
result of prior decision by District Judge Frank A. Hooper
that the board must present a plan by December 1, as to how
it intends to eliminate segregation as provided by the United
States Supreme Court decision of May 17, 1954.
The plan submitted to the court is in essence a gradual
procedure whereby racial segregation will be discontinued the
first year at the 12th grade level and the next year ot the
11th grade level and each year thereafter the next lower
grades until ail grades are affected. In a 12-year period, all
the system would be desegregated.
The plan is based on what has been called the Alabama
Placement Law, which would give school officials broad powers
to decide which child should go to what school.
While the plan was presented as having the unanimous
approval of all members of the board, "it was revealed that
Dr. Rufus Clement referred to certain portions of the plan as
being "either ill-advised, impassible of accurate appraisal, or,
subject to arbitrary decisions."
After the plan is considered by the court, it will then go
to the legislature for such appropriate action to permit its
operation. This is not asking too much of the General Assembly.
We ore glad to note that the board is in accord with
the policy of keeping the schools open. This is a duty to our
children that can ill afford to be defaulted.
At any rate a beginning has been staged, the plan is in
motion and we all shall see what we shall see.

Let's Make A Few Mistakes...
"Feed if accurate data and a mechanical 'brain' will deliver 
the right answer every time. The very fact that it is incapable 
of error also makes it incapable of making anything
Other than a" mathematically" sound decision. It could not recommend 
an action in which the odds are unfavorable," says
B. S. Wolson in "Service" magazine.
He continues: "This is not the way America came to industrial 
pre-eminence. To American petroleum industry, which celebrates 
its 100th anniversary, this year, would never have written
its unrivatedrecord of achievement if It had been directed by
robots. Its leaders made their quota of mistakes. Thousands of
courageous men . . . lost their shirts in petroleum ventures,
These men were not unintelligent... They were spurred by the
prospect of a reward that would compensate for their labors
and the risks they took.
"As a result, railroads spanned the nation, the automobile
was invented and moved into mass production, oil became
more than an Indian liniment.
"To keep this nation great and growing ... calls for dynamic 
action . . . men not cost-in robot men who will,
not, fear to. . . . make an occasional mistake.
"The important thing is that we encourage progressive effort., 
Men of achievement must be rewarded, not penalized, for
Success.
"Deny them this incentive and we might as well promote
the robots and seat them behind the desks cf management . . .
there to preside over the relics of what was once the greatest
industrial empire the world has ever known!"

TOUGH SADDLE

FROM the imperial to the livery 
barn started as quite a
journey for Frank Dalmar.
Emerging on the street he paused,
pulling his hat low, for, after the
shadowed interior of the saloon
the bright pour of the sun was
pure torture to his bloodshot
eyes. In addition; his head was
a vast torment of throbbing
misery.
Nor was the street the usual
level, solid stretch. Instead, at
the moment it contained an upend-down 
shiftiness, so when
Frank started along it, he moved
with his feet spaced carefully to
brace against such treacherous
goings-on. However, physical activity 
in itself proved a help, and
the further he went along the
more things steadied down.
From the doorway of the stable, 
Jigger Henley saw Frank
heading his way. Whereupon
Jigger got busy and by the time
Frank turned in, had his horse
in the runway and was saddling
up. A roan who liked a cold
drink of water at regular intervals 
throughout the day. Jigger
always kept a canvas water-bag
hanging from a wall peg. Sight
of the bag, with its moist, bulging 
bulk, set off a raging thirst
in Frank Dalmar. Noting Frank's
avid glance, Jigger nodded.
"Go ahead," he said. Help
yourself."
Frank lilted down the waterbag 
and drank long and deep,
the wet coolness of the water
pouring all through him, quenchling 
the Inner fires. He paused
for breath, then drank again.
Sighing, ho replaced, the water
tag and turned to Jigger.
"Obliged," he mumbled gruffly,
"And for looking after my
horse." He reached for his
pocket "What do I owe you?"
"Nothing," Jigger said. "You
paid in advance, last night"
Frank frowned, blinking. "I
don't remember Paying you anything." 

"Not in money," Jigger admitted. 
"Ton earned a night's by
care for your horse when you
shut Tunnison's mouth for him."
"Oh" murmured Frank.
"That?"
"Yeah," Jigger said. "That."
He slipped the headstall into
place, handed Frank the reins.
Frank climbed carefully into
the saddle, settled himself, and
rode out.
Clear of town he took the
home trait and though his horse
wanted To run a little, he held
it to a swinging walk. For he
had some stem thinking to do.
Yesterday, under the first
numbing shock of what his father
had disclosed, his mind seemed
to lock, holding no clear thought
at all. Then, his only impulse
had been to get away, to find a
refuge of some sort wherein he

could blank out everything.
Now, however, despite the kind
night he'd been through, and
though his head was still a throbbing 
torment, thoughts were
clearing. Also, form some previously 
unguessed corner of his
character, emerged grim conviction, 
which, by the time Double
Dimond headquarters lifted out
of the plain ahead, became equally 
grim decision.
knowing thirst again, his first
act on reaching home was to
seek a faucet under the windmill
tower and one more quench the
inner fires. This taken care of,
he went into the cook shack.
"Fix me a meal, Joe," he ordered. 

The cook made out to argue,
"Noon grub ain't too far away.
You can wait—"
"No!" cut in Frank harshly.
Fix it now. Get at it!"
The cook stared, showing some
surprise. Then he shrugged
sulkily, stirred up the fire and
it on a frying pan.
Frank went over to the ranchhouse 
and to his room. Here he
made a compact roll of a couple
of blankets A scabbarded rifle
Ling from one wall peg, a belt
and holstered six-shooter from
another. He laid the rifle on the
blankets and buckled on the belt
gun.
Into a pair of saddle-bags he
dumped a couple of boxes of ammunition, 
added some odds and
ends of clothing and a pair of
fleld-glasses. Finally he tossed a
blanket-lined, canvas coat to the
pile and carried it all out of the
house and over to his horse.
Saddle-bags, blankets and the
coat he tied behind the cantle.
The rifle he slung under the near
stirrup fender. Those things
taken care of he returned to the
cookshack and sat down to tough
steak, cold biscuits and lukewarm 
coffee.
Done with his meal, he located
an empty flour sack and in the
cook's storeroom, filled it to
bulging. The cook eyed him
gloomily, but said nothing, Frank
carried the sack of supplies over
to his horse and slung it to his
saddle horn. While he was about
this, Bardo Sampson appeared in
the doorway of the bunkhouse,
observed for a moment, then
crossed over.
"What's the idea?" he demanded 
heavily. "Where you think
you're going?"
"None of your business!"
Bardo Sampson's protuberant
eyes bulged.
"Why damn your insolent hide
—you can't talk to me that
way!"
"I did," Frank said coldly. "And
if you don't like it—what are you.
going to do about it?"
Bardo considered him with an
angry astonishment. Here was a

new Frank not only showing the
old personal aversion and distaste,
but defying any semblance of authority 
with outright, challenging
emphasis.
Anger deepened in Bardo,
though tempered with a cautioning 
puzzlement.
"You," he blurted, "must have
Deen feeding on raw meat. What
the devil's got into you?"
Frank stepped into his saddle.
Bitterness pinched and twisted his
lips. He put his glance on Bardo
Sampson and spoke with a slow
distinctness.
"All I got to say to you is
this. Stay away from me!"
With such parting, shot he set
his horse in motion, and as soon
as he was clear of headquarters
he swung his mount until, dead
ahead and blue as smoke in the
misty distance, reared the lifting 
bulk of the Saddleback Hilts.
From the narrow bank of
shade thrown by the overhang
of the Imperial, Jonas Dalmar
saw his son turn in at Jigger
Henley's stable, shortly to reappear 
in saddle. He watched
Frank, ride out on the Double
Diamond trail and nodded satisfaction 
as he turned to Wiley
Goss.
"He's going home. You stay
put for a while. I got some business 
to look into." He started to
turn away, then paused, and added 
"an add after-thought "If
As bell tries to push you around
again—don't let him! Is that
plain enough? Don't let him!
I'm not paying you to buckle
under to that fellow. And do a
little more complete job than
you've done so far!"
So saying, Jonas Dalmar headed 
along the street toward the
Prairie House.
Wiley Goss stared after him
with round, sullen eyes, and his
lips shaped soundless words as
he mumbled to himself. After
which he slid down on his heavy
haunches and hunkered there,
mechanically fashioning another
smoke.
Beside him the Imperial door
swung and Link Asbell came
through. Asbell paused, dropping
a quick glance at Goss's crouched 
figure. But as Goss was
plainly intent on minding his
own business, Asbell switched his
attention to the high, bony figure 
of Jonas Dalmar, and so saw
the cattleman turn in at the
Prairie House. Asbell pondered
this, observation for a little time,
trying to dredge some significance 
from it. Failing, he
shrugged, crossed to his horse
and left town....

Catholic Leaders Reject Public
Assistance To Birth Prevention
The Catholic
Hierarchy of the United States asserted 
Wednesday that it would
not support any public assistance,
either at home or abroad, to promote 
artificial birth prevention.
In a statement formulated at
their annual meeting, the Catholic
bishops "denied recent assertions
that artificial birth prevention is
gradually becoming acceptable to
the Church. "This is simply, not
true," they said.
The bishops devoted a 1,1516 word
statement' to the controversial
question of birth prevention andthe 
population problem. The statement, 
entitled "Explosion or backfire? 
was the second to come out
of the meeting of more than 200
bishops at the Catholic University
of America, November 18-19. Prev
iously 
issued was a statement on
"Freedom and Peace."
The bishops said they wished "to
direct attention to the very real
problem of population pressures."
But they rejected, artificial, birth
prevention as an approach that is
"morally, humanly, psychologically
and politically disastrous."
The bishops restated the traditional 
teaching of the church on
control of birth, and rejected the
idea that the method chosen was
the only issue of controversy.
"The perennial teaching of the
Catholic Church has distinguished
artificial birth prevention, which
is a frustration of the marital act,
from other forms of control of
birth which are morally permissable. 

"Method alone, however, is not

the only queson mvovea, Equally
important is the sincere and objective 
examination ot the motives and
intentions of the couples-involved,
in view of the nature of the marriage 
contract itself."
The bishops said there was
"abundant evidence, of a systematic
concerted effort' 'to swing United
States' public opinion behind use
of public funds to promote artificial 
birth prevention for economically
underdeveloped countries.
Catholics will not support "any
public assistance, either' at home
or abroad, to promote artificial:
birth prevention, abortion or sterilization 
whether through direct aid
or by means of international organizations" 
the bishops said.

Rep. Diggs Is
Cleared Of Young
Woman's Charges
Congressman 
Charles C. Diggs, Jr.
(D. Mich), has been cleared of
paternity charges brought against,
him by Mrs. Jacqulyne gibbs, according 
to reports coming from
Detroit.
Mrs. Gibbs filed a suit against the
Michigan Representative last August, 
accusing him of being the father 
of her five year-old daughter,
Angela. The count ordered a blood
test while the suit is still awaiting 
trial.
As a result of this test, Dr. Wolf
W. Zualzer of the Children's Hospital 
of Michigan reported that:
"The results indicated exclude the
paternity of the defendant la the
case of Angela..."
Mrs. Gibbs, age 26, said she met
the 36-year-old Congressman at a
party in 1953.

Uncle Sam

and abroad beautiful words of such
sacred documents as the Declaration 
of Indepenrence, Bill of Rights.
They, like to refer to the 14th amendment 
which states... on state
shall deprive any person of life,
liberty or property without due
process of law nor to deny to any
person the equal protection of the
law."
The editor said that the second
face was a made-up face. It is a
face. Uncle Sam wears for the
white man who receives all of the
glitter and glamour of everything—
beat jobs, best housing, and best
education, etc.
The third face was termed a
"face of shame' by the editor. He
said "'this is the" face Uncle Sam
wears, for the Negro. He cited case
after case of police brutality, lack
of respect for Negroes, poor housing 
and menial Jobs."
Palmer concluded: "In truth
Uncle Sara has only one face and
if we are to help bring the true
lace to light, we" must do three
things: fight injustice, build a
strong. Negro press to act as a
spokesman and watch dog; and
pray for more militant Negroes and
for decent whites to comes from behind 
their wails of silence and join
us in fight for freedom."
The main speaker was introduced 
by Mrs. Jean Williams. Others
giving brief remarks included:
Atty. Ira Murphy; Eliehue Stanback, 
chairman of the drive; Rev.
T. R. Fugh, and Evers who said:
"Many Negroes here have exPressed 
strong feelings about my
dismissal. However, despite my dismissal 
I will not slow down my
pace in fighting for civil right for
all."

take the consequences," Hoffman
told the school board.
"The" day you defy the court
you know what ticket you write."
Hoffman last May ordered the
board to prepare a desegregation
plan. Early in November the
board responded with the shortest 
assignment plan ever adopted
by a Virginia city - one paragraph
long.
It said the board, would leave
the assignment of students up
to the "proper assigning body"
under state law, the three-member 
state placement board which
had assigned, more than 500,000
students on a Briefly segregate
basis before yielding to Hoffman's
threat in Norfolk.
Hoffman, who called a hearing
on the Newport News plan wit
both the city school, board and
state board attending as requested, 
described, the brief plan as
meaningless."
"This court wants to know exactly 
how you handle a transfer
request," he said in his stern
lecture to the members of the two
agencies.
Hoffman said the school board
was should offer a plan which would
not discriminate against Negro
children.

suicide is not too bad—and that
it can be corrected or caught up
later, on.
"This is not true," the speaker
went on. "It is the meanest of untruths. 
Because a decision to close
the schools cannot be retrieved—
cannot be easily corrected or reversed. 
It cannot be retrieved or
made Tight by romantic confessions
of error. The decision to close the
schools will not have about it the
nice, heroic smell of lost causes
. . . The issue is not, and perhaps
has never been, segregated or desegregated 
schools at all. The issue, 
the choice is between poor
schools, or no schools at all."
Charles W. Moore business
manager of Morris Brown college
and a member of the Hungry Culb
Executive Committee moderated
the Hungry Club session.

Early Hearing

rious voting and registration records 
which were in their custody
and control.
The suit was aga  the Commission 
and its members. Its object
was to keep the recars from
having to appear before the Commission 
and to produce their records 
and also to enjoin lie holding
of the hearing.
The registrars contended that
they were entitled to au injunction
because the Commission was seeking 
to hold the scheduled hearing
under rules of procedure which the
Commission had no power to make,
and which denied the registrars
traditional procedural safagrards.
The registrars also asserted that
the rules of procedure adopted by
the Commission violate their constitutional 
rights and that the Act
itself is unconstitutional because
it constitutes an unconstitutional
delegation of power.
The registrars complained that
they had not been informed of the
nature of the complaint's against
them, that they were not assured
that they would be faced with the
complaining witnesses and that
the Commission repeatedly informed 
the Louisiana Attorney General
that it would not furnish the registrars 
with the written complaints
filed against them or permit them
to examine the complain, nor
would it divulge the names of the
"complainants.
The three-judge court held the
1957 Civil Bights Acts to be an appropriate 
exercise of legislative
power under the 14th and 15th
Amendments and Article I of the
Constitution.
In a 2-to-1 decision, however, the,
court held that the Commission's
rules and procedures were not authorized 
by Congress and were invalid. 

The plaintiffs in the other case
were private citizens of Louisiana
who had been subpoened to appear
at a hearing scheduled by the Commission. 

The Justice Department, is urging 
a supreme Court review, says
the decision of the three-judge
court has brought to a halt the
Commission's hearings in Louisiana. 

"The government believes, that
the decision" below is manifestly
erroneous and should promptly be
set aside in order that the Commission, 
a body of limited life may
proceed to carry out the mandate
of Congress:"

of public Instruction if it chooses,
"may submit for the consideration
of the district court a plan whereby" 
Negroes are "afforded a reasonable 
and conscious opportunity
to apply for admission W any
schools for which they are eligible
without regard to their race or
color, and to have that choice fairly 
considered by the enrolling authorities. 
In the event of the submission 
and approval of such a
plan, the district court might properly 
wait a reasonable time for the
necessary administrative action before 
finding whether further proceedings 
are necessary."
Action was instituted on June
12, 1956, by Rev. Theodore Gibson,
president of the Miami branch of
the NAACP, on behalf of his son,
Theodore, Jr., with NAACP General 
Counsel Robert L. Carter and
G. E. Graves of Miami handling
the case. The suit sought a judgment 
declaring the placement laws
unconstitutional and further asked 
that the board be ordered to
desegregate public schools of Dade
County."
The suit was dismissed by the
district, court because the plaintiffs 
had not made application for
admission to any particular school.
This ruling was reversed by the
Court or Appeals which held "that
the primary and positive duty
rested upon the Board of Public
Instruction, to comply with the
May 17, 1954, ruling of the Supreme 
Court."
Upon rehearing, the district
court held the statutes violative
of the Fourteenth Amendment but
offered no further relief. This
ruing went up on appeal Meanwhile, 
in 1959, a single school in
a changing area in Miami was desegregated.
