The Attorney General added: "In vie of te impact on those excluded, both economically and professionally, and the fact that discriminatory practices bear no relation to the legitimate ends and purposes for which realty boards are organized, discriminatory practices may be prohibited by the court even in the absence of express legislation. A survey made by the Chicago Commission on Human, Relations in 1962 showed the small representation of Negroes among the membership of real estate boards throughout the country.

FILIBUSTER CURB VOTE HIT BY ROY WILKINS The Senate vote to sidetrack a move which would have made it easier to halt filibusters was denounced here this week by NAACP Executive Secretary Roy Wilikns as a "surrender .... to the single- minded obstinacy of the southern minority." Mr. Wilikns' sharply worded statement was issued following a 53 to 42 vote in the Senate, Jan. 31, to table a proposal which would have cleared the way for adoption of a new cloture rule. The NAACP backed a proposal, endorsed by liberals of both parties, making, it possible to shut off debate by a majority vote rather than the two - thirds now required. senate leaders of both parties, as well as President John F. Kennedy and Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, share the blame for the impasse reached in the Senate, the NAACP leader charged. The full text of Mr. Wilkins' statement follows The disgraceful exhibition of shadow - boxing in the Senate is apparently moving to the conclusion made inevitable by the surrender of its leadership to the singleminded obstinay of the southern minority. At a period when it had no business of importance before it, the Senate has shown itself incapable of reaching a decision even on the question of whether it had a right to make a decision to curb filibusters. "A large part of the blame for this situation rests with Vice-President Lyndon Johnson, who ruled that it was up to the Senate to determine whether or not it could change its rules by a simple majority vote at the start of a new Congress, but who then refused the ruling which would have made a determining vote possible. The essence of the pro - filibuster position is that the Senate is a "continuing body," and that its old rules are automatically in force when a new Congress convenes. Under these rules, a motion to change the rules is itself subject to filibuster, which would not be the case if ordinary parliamentary law prevailed. The Vice - President's action while ostensibly leaving this question up to the Senate, in effect sustained the "ocntinuing body" theory and thus made sure that filibusters could not be curbed without first having a filibuster. This is in sharp contrast to the position of former Vice -President Richard Nixon on the same issue, four years ago. "By their motion to table, Majority Leader Mansfield and Minority Leader Dirksen share with Vice President Johnson responsibility for undercutting an effort to remove the chief roadblock to meaningful civil rights legislation. (Senators who customarliy profess concern for civil rights but who joined Senators Mansfield and Dirksen in voting to table know quite well that their vote today was a vote against civil rights, and they should not protest when the public draws the obvious conclusion from the record. "It is unfortunate that President Kennedy, who moved so vigorously in the effort to liberalize the Rules Committee in the House, did not see fit to speak out on behalf of liberalization of the filibuster rule in the Senate. For it remains true today, as in the past, that the filibuster and the threat of filibuster threatens not only civil rights legislation but all legislation including those measures allegedly outranking civil rights in importance to the national welfare."

School Issue Necessitates "Give-Take," Cook Announces Attorney General Eugene Cook traced a 3-point program here this week on the school segregation issue as it involves federally impacted areas. In announcing that there is going to have to be some "give-andtake" in areas like Muscogee County, Cook said, "I am a conservative in the area of schools and social welfare, but I must willingly concede that along the way we conservatives must recognize the necessity of giving in a graceful way to balance the conflicting issues. Cook cited the three following points for consideration of persons in Mucogee County and other places where school boards are under federal orders to integrate school system or lose federal aid. 1. Decision to integrate the school systems or fight any federal suit filed against school boards will be made by the school boards themselves. 2. The state legal department will only enter such case at the invitation of the school boards. 3. The department will not fight any case it feels does not have sound legal basis. Atty Gen. Cook urged the peo ple of "urgently consider the poss ible acceptance of token integra tion. "which would leave control of school systems in the hands of local officials. The alternative, he pointed out was for courts to issue an injunction which would then put direc tion of the schools in the hand of the courts. POSNER'S BERGAMOT WATER REPELLENT CONDITIONER of HEADS Recommended by Beauticians everywhere Urges Belligerent Pupils Be Expelled School Superintendent Carl F. Hansen said Friday that D. C. schools should send belligerent pupils home to their parents and le them stay there until they learn to behave A citizens committee report is sued Jan. 8 blamed a lack of discipline in the schools as a key factor in triggering the Thanks giving Day riots at the D. C. Stadium. Commenting on the report, Hansen told a press conference that he feels a serious discipline prob lem is created by students who think they can "get away with any thing" and that "a teacher dare not lay hands on them." Playing perhaps his best game of the year was James Gordon, the sophomore forward from Louisville. He shone brilliantly on defense and his backboard work was tops. Willie Herenton, the senior, and Jerome Wright, the freshman, came in for applause, for their defensive efforts. Robert Hambric, the junior guard from Chicago, proved again he is one of the best ball-handlers on the team and was quite valuable in the final four minutes when LeMoyne switched to control ball and a semi-freeze. Gordon, the big man from Louisville, was the mighty man defensively for LeMoyne, while Currin, Dumas, Gaines and Hambric starred in the scoring department.. Stillman's concert band and 8girl dance team gave the audience an excellent halftime show. Currin had 19 against Stillman, followed by Gordon and Gaines, each with 18; Hambric, 16, Dumas, 9; Herenton, 4, and Wright, 2. Magicians Take On Fisk U. Bulldogs Monday Night In Annual Home coming Battle Benedict will be here this Friday night, Feb. 8, to test the strength of the LeMoynites, in Bruce Hall. It should be one of the top games of the season for the Columbia, S. C., boys are no slouches. LeMoyne's homecoming is scheduled for next Monday night, Feb 11, and this is the night the Fisk Bulldogs from Nashville will be here and they'll be mean and evil too because they were beaten, 9691, by Jerry Johnson's charges in the Bulldog gym on Dec. 1. LeMoyne took a step closer to a tournament, berth last Friday ni when the Magicians shackled invading Alabama A&M out it 79-69. This was sweet revenge for Jerry Johnson's crew who suffered a 91-5 licking at the hands of A&M in Huntsville on Dec. 3 Alabama A&M had just about everything; including a tight defense and deadeye goalmen, but this wasn't enough to subdue the Magicians who committed several boners and appeared off the beam at times. The invaders managed to slow up the clever twosome of Monroe Currin and Richard Dumas but not enough to keep the crowd from applauding them. At times they looked like the champs they really are.

Liberian Citizenship On the subject of white citizenship in Liberia, President William V. S. Tubman said recently: "Liberians are Africans. When Liberia was founded, the colonial onslaught was at its peak. When the immigrants came here, they wrote that in the constitution and they knew that if colonists did not gain control by force, they would seek to be so by purchase. Hence, did prevent this, the Constitution allowed for none but of African descent to become citizens of Liberia."
