President Eisenhower Spells Out
Opportunity
President Eisenhower made known again on last Wednesday 
his position on racial segregation. He stated unequivocally
that he believes racial segregation is morally wrong when it
interferes with equality of opportunity. He amplified his position 
so there would be no misgivings in explaining equality of
opportunity, of affairs controlled by government and in the
economic and political fields.
This was the President's first flat statement of his personal
feeling toward segregation. Although he has taken previous
actions which clearly revealed his attitude.
Heretofore, in the field of civil rights, the President has
more or less confined himself to statements that it is his official
duty to enforce the law as interpreted by the United States
Supreme Court.
This time, to 190 reporters in a press conference, he nailed
down his personal feeling on the matter. He said that segregation 
is wrong and emphasized that it worked a handicap in
the equal enjoyment of opportunity.
This is a strong statement and should be clear to all.
The President realized that anything which circumscribed
the education, political and economic opportunities of an individual, 
rendered a handicap in his employment possibilities
and his economic outreach.
The President took this position upon a questioner who asked: 
"Do you think racial segregation is morally wrong?"
It is a fine stroke at this particular time when political
wiseacres are trying to make political hay out of the administration's 
attitude on the level of civil rights.
Standing upon a record enunciated from the outset of his
administration, when he declared in Washington, before the
court decision that "segregation in the District of Columbia had
to go."
Moreover, he stated before the court decision that segregation 
was wrong and had no place in a free society. Moral
wrongs do not make civil rights, neither are they immune from
those undermining factors which stem from un-Americanism and
those spurious agencies now engaging fellow travelers and such
in digging up what they can in any area to foster their selfish
cause.
Opportunity is what the Negro wants; given this he can
handle his end of the bargain and hoe his own row.
The President is firm in a basic position taken at the outset 
of his administration, which has been enhanced dozens of
times in court decisions and congressional action.

Atty. Lockard

plaintiffs had a right to attend
MSU immediately because the fiveyear 
plan suggested by the State
Board of Education was discriminatory. 

The State Board of Education indicated 
that it would admit Negro
applicants in the fall of 1957. However, 
MSU refused. Instead it passed 
a resolution at the request of
MSU's president Jack M. Smith to
delay the admittance of qualified
Negro students to the fall term of
1958. Also in the resolution provisions 
were made for a "screening
test," to be given applicants at the
five state college under jurisdiction
of the Board. The "screening" was
optional.
MSU was the only school to employ 
it. The others, Middle Tennessee 
State college, East Tennessee
State college, Austin Peay State
college, did not use it.
Ten Negroes took the test at
MSU and eight passed. After MSU
refused to accept Negro applicants
at the 1958, fall term, Atty. Lockard 
rushed back Ho court to obtain 
a temporary injunction Judge
Boyd refused to issue the injunction. 
Four attempts were made to
hear the case between Sept. 1958
and July 10, 1959.
So went the case until last Friday, 
the day "for all practical purposes" 
which ended the case. "Negroes 
are expected to attend MSU
this fall."
When Atty. Lockard was asked
last Friday, how did he feel about
the long, hard legal struggle, he
replied: "Though it took four years,
all time effort and money spent
are considered as being well worth
the results obtained. I think this
decision is significant in that an
opportunity is now afforded the
many teachers in this city county
and even in other pants of West
Tennessee to further their education 
at the least possible expense
and inconveniences. I am certain
many of the family people in our
local school system could not afford 
to spend the time necessary
to get additional training if they
bad to go to Nashville or elsewhere.

This same situation is equally applicable 
to the many high school
graduates who have desires for further 
education."
When Lockard was asked was he
surprised by the judge's decision,
he thoughtfully reflected, "although
the decision results in a clear definite 
and pronouncement of the
rights and responsibilities of all
people involved in the case, this results 
should have — and I go so
far as to say — it cauld have been
obtained long, long before now."

Louisiana Vote Probe Stalled
By Federal Restraining Order
A federal judge Sunday granted 
a restraining order preventing the U. S. Civil Rights Commission 
from looking into complaints that Negroes are denied
voting rights in north Louisiana.
U. S. District Judge Ben C. Dawkins 
handled down the temporary
restraining order barring the commission 
from going through with
its scheduled hearing Monday, At
the same time he ordered a threejudge 
count to rule on the constituionality 
of the commission.
Judge Dawkins granted the injunction 
to Louisana Attorney
Jack Gremillion, who filed the
suit on behalf of 17 north Louisiana
voter registrars subpoenaed to appear 
at the hearing.
The judge said that in the hearing 
the Louisiana voting registrars
might have been "held up before
the eyes of the nation in scorn"
because the commission wouldn't
let them protect themselves.
Germillion said the rulling was
"gratifying .... well-reasoned and
well-founded...."
The Civil Rights Commission reportedly 
has about 70 complaints
from Negroes charging their voted
rights have been denied. Most of
the complaints were believed to revolve 
around voter purges launched
by segregationists.
Louisiana law makes it possible
for voters to challenge another
voter's right to registration and
have his name erased from the
voter rolls.
Gremllion's suit charged that the
commission was created unconstitutionally 
and that it was trying to
conduct the hearing in an unconstitutional 
manner.
Chief among the complaints in
the suit was a claim that the regis
trars 
were being denied the right
to be informed of the nature and
cause of the accusations against
them, or to be confronted by their
accusers.
The Civil Rights Commission
could only make recommendations
to the President and Congress if
it found voter rights were being

denied in Lousiana. It could not
directly compel the state to change
its laws.
Other complaints in Gremillion's
suit were that the commission had
no right to force the registrars to
testify or to produce documents and
records; and that the registrars
were denied the compulsory obtaining 
of witnesses in their own behalf,
thus being denied equal protection
under the law.
The difficulty between Louisiana
and the Civil Rights Commission
began last December, when the
complaints from north Louisiana
Negroes began to come in to the
commission.
Commission investigators were
denied access to voting rules. Registrars 
pointed out that Louisiana
law bas anyone but a voter registrared 
in a parsh county from looking 
at voter rules in that parish. The
only other way it could be done, the
registrars were told, was to get a
petition signed by 25 registede voters
The commission then sent Attorney 
General Germillion a long list
of questions in regard to the issue.
Germillion refused to answer the
questions, calling them vague, ambigous 
and incriminating.
He charged that the commssion
told him at first that if he answered 
the questions a hearing
would probably be avoided. But
then, he said, the commission later
told him there might be a hearing
anyway. So he sent the questionnaires 
back answered.
In Louisiana any two registered
voters can challenge the eligibility
of another voter to vote. Then it
is up to the challenged voter to
prove through lenghty intelligence
and character tests that he is qualified. 
If he doesn't prove his qualifications 
to the satisfaction of the
registrars of his parish, he is
stricken from the voter rolls.

To Slade Considine, most of
Mrs. Kilgore's Walking K
range was new. It seemed a
crazy country, criss-crossed as it
was with countless rough, scrub
oak-covered ridges that fanned
out in all directions without any
established pattern like that of
his Uncle Nick's higher 143 range.
He had not ridden long before
he was aware, by that sixth sense
most outdoorsmen have, that
someone was behind him. Rachel
Kilgore, of course, had a perfect
right to send someone after him
to keep an eye on him, but the
idea of being stealthily followed
and spied on was somehow unpleasant. 

As he came up on to the rim
of a tall, bald-topped, rocky ridge,
he suddenly put the spurs to the
little sorrel and sent him down
the hillside at a sliding, pebbleloosening 
run.
Under cover of a thick patch
of scrub oak he pulled up and
dismounted so that his head
would not he above the tops of
the brush. He had a good ten
minutes to wait before the rider
came into the open. Slade watched 
the man stop and lean far
sideways, scanning the rocky
ground for tracks. Then he led
the little sorrel out of the scrub
oak, and stepped into his saddle
again.
The man on the ridge top saw
him seemed to hesitate for a second 
as if trying to make up his
mind what to do. Then he threw
up an arm and waved.
As the men rude to meet each
other. Slade saw to his surprise
that it was Pat Guajardo from
Wynn Thomason's T Anchor instead 
of one of the Walking K
hands.
"Hallo. Slade!" the slim Mexican 
 called as soon as he
was within nailing distance.
"What you doin here? Gettin'
ready to butcher you some bull
meat to sell to the poor  in
Barrancas?"
Slade grinned. "Just riding,"
he said.
"Me. I'm lookin' for a whiterace 
bull." Pat explained. "Ain't
seen one, have you?"
Slade snook his head.
Pat shrugged, and shoved his
hat back off his narrow brown
forehead. "The old lady sent
Wynn word yesterday that one of
our pulls was over here on her
place a fight in her longhorns, and
to please come get him."
It was a reasonable enough explanation, 
but Slade didn't for a
minute believe it. Pat certainly
hadn't been following a bull track
when he topped the ridge.
"As long as we seem to be riding 
the same way, Pat, we might
as well ride together," he suggested, 
and was a little surprised
when the ?\ raquero nodded
?\ agreement.
Pat Guajardo was a help. He
seemed to know the Kilgore range
as well as he should have known
Wynn Thomason's T Anchor. By
mid-afternoon they had covered
a lot of ground and Slade had
learned two things. The first was
that the Kilgore cattle, including
most of the bulls, were now being
kept on their own range. The
second, Pat Guajardo noticed and
mentioned. He pointed to half a
dozen steers grazing in a grassy
vega.
"The ol' lady's sure cut her
herd in two in the last year. She's
got three times as much grass
as she needs now." He slid his
roguish black eyes around to
Slade. "The Forest Service, she
got some kind of ruling about
that — no? They take some of
this grass away from her if she
don't use it — no?"
Slade was sorry now that Pat
was with him. There was such a
Forest Service ruling, and if
Wynn Thomason wanted to stir
up a new batch of trouble, it
would be easy to do. Wynn was
supposed to hate the Forest Service, 
but Slade felt sure if he saw
a chance to grab a new slice of
range for himself, he could change
sides mighty quick.
He saw Pat was waiting for an
answer to his question. He
shrugged. "Maybe, Maybe not,"
he said noncommittally. He reined
the little sorrel about. "I think
I'll ride on down to Frenchy's
now. Pat. I rode off without
bringing lunch this morning and
I'm getting hungry. You coming,
too, or are you going to hunt
some more for your bull?"
Pat shrugged. "I come, too. I
think maybe the old lady she
lyin' about that bull anyhow."
Slade was puzzled and suspicious. 
Pat hadn't been riding
with him today just for fun nor
to hunt any white-faced bull
either. But whatever Pat had up
his sleeve, his job seemed to be
done as soon as they got off the
Kilgore land.
With a dashing, white-toothed
smile and a vague excuse of having 
to hurry home, he turned off
on a short-cut trail to the T
Anchor.
Slade had not ridden far before 
something else drove the
strange behavior of Pat Guajardo
completely out of his mind. He
was about two miles from
Frenchy's cabin when he first noticed 
the two ravens circling over
the next little ridge. At first he
was interested but not suspicious.
The way the birds were acting
was almost a sure sign that there
was a kill somewhere in that
next little cove.
But when, a half-mile farther
down, he saw a big splotch of
blood- on a rock beside the trail,
he reined the sorrel up to look
at it. It had been spilled there

this morning, for it was still
bright red in color. There was
only one fresh track going down
the trail, made by an iron
horseshoe. There was only one
horse that Slade could think of
with a hoof that big: Frenchy
Quebedeaux's sway-backed bay!
The circling, swooping birds
and a plentiful trickle of blood
spots led him straight back to
the kill. There wasn't much left.
Slade didn't bother to get off to
look at it Ho swung the sorrel
around again and touched him
with the spurs.
The big-footed bay was in the
corral when he got down to
Frenchy's place. His back was
dry but there were fresh sweat
stains on him, and when the cowboy 
went into the barn he found
the Frenchman's saddle blanket
still damp.
Frenchy himself was nowhere
in sight and the whole place had
a deserted, mid-day look about it.
Slade started for the house, then
paused as from the little vega
a half-mile or so east of the cabin
came the sound of the collie's
sudden barking and the frightened 
bleating of the sheep. The
next instant Frenchy added an
assortment of yells and French
cusswords.
To Slade it sounded as if one
of the Kilgore bulls was paying
a return visit.
When he went inside, the cabin
was cold with the slightly stale
smell of a house that has been
shut up tight with the odor of
fried bacon and pancakes still in
it. The stove and even the teakettle 
were stone cold as if
Frenchy had not been inside since
early morning.
The key was still in the door
that led to the little room behind.
Slade had a momentary feeling
of disgust for the things this new
job of his seemed to require that
he do.
Last night he had been completely 
convinced that Frenchy
was exactly what he seemed —
nothing more than an honesty
kind - hearted, rough - talking
sheepman. Now he wondered if
he had let himself be too easily
fooled.
Within the last hour or two a
calf had been butchered within
a couple of miles of this place.
The blood drops beside the trail
had finally dwindled out, but not
the big bay's shoe-prints. To a
man used to sign reading it was
very plain that whoever had
killed the calf had packed it in
on Frenchy's horse.


CHAPTER 13
By E.M. Barker
195 E. M. Barker; published by arrangement with P?\
 Raynolds & son; distributed by King Features Syndicate
To Slade Considine, most of
Mrs. Kilgore's Walking K
range was new. It seemed a
crazy country, criss-crossed as it
was with countless rough, scrub
oak-covered ridges that fanned
out in all directions without any
established pattern like that of
his Uncle Nick's higher 143 range.
He had not ridden long before
he was aware, by that sixth sense
most outdoorsmen have, that
someone was behind him. Rachel
Kilgore, of course, had a perfect
right to send someone after him
to keep an eye on him, but the
idea of being stealthily followed
and spied on was somehow unpleasant. 

As he came up on to the rim
of a tall, bald-topped, rocky ridge,
he suddenly put the spurs to the
little sorrel and sent him down
the hillside at a sliding, pebbleloosening 
run.
Under cover of a thick patch
of scrub oak he pulled up and
dismounted so that his head
would not he above the tops of
the brush. He had a good ten

Memphis State

where state and federal officials
are mindful of their responsibilities 
and are trying to do right.
This matter is settled. The court
will get up an order to reflect the
courts feelings."
However, before Judge Boyd
"settled the base" Attorneys for
the NAACP H. T. Lockard and
Mrs. Constance Baker Motley of
New York City, strongly urged
Judge Boyd to honor their motion 
for "summary Judgement"
Atty. Motley said "We would like
to have a ruling because Dr. Smith
(president of MSU) might decide
later that he wants to exclude
Negroes from the institution (MSU)
again this fall as he did last August 
after the state Board of Education 
had decided to permit Negroes 
to enter. These plaintiffs
need protection from arbitrary
action because they lost a whole
year last school term. There isn't
anything to prevent Dr. Smith
from acting in a similar manner
this year."
Atty. Humphreys countered "we
might not like it, and I don't say
we do, but we recognize the Supreme 
Court of the United States.
We respect and bow before it. But
I think that the plaintiffs are
trying to beat us over the head
unnecessarily."
Atty. Motley retorted "we are
seeking to enjoin the university
from excluding Negroes solely because 
of race. We are not asking
this court to pass upon the qualification 
of the applicants."
President Smith also testified
that the same racial tension which
existed last year is not present
this year.
He testified that he "felt that
to integrated MSU would have to
destroy it." Because of the threat
of "racial violence."
Smith spelled that "racial violence 
threat" out as: (1) Little
Rock affair (2) Massive resistance 
of school integration in Virginia 
and (3) because of the failure 
of the court to hear the suits
brought against bus segregation
and library segregation in Memphis, 
(which are still pending.)
Atty. Motley replied "The United 
States Supreme Court ruled
last September in a North Carolina 
suit that the threat of violence 
or violence itself does not
constitute grounds for refusing to
admit Negroes to a college."
President Smith revealed that
he will hold a conference with
the four students Thursday (July
16) who were the plaintiffs in the
case. He testified that "the conference 
will determine whether
they will be admitted without further 
examination or not." He
went on to say "All other Negro
applicants will be processed as any
other applicant this fall." He
added "some Negroes took entrance 
examinations last week and
some passed."

LAFF-A-DAY
"Surely, you can give me
something more definite to go.

BETWEEN THE LINES
Ingemar Johansson, the swatting Swede, is the new boxing
champion of the world and as such, this column hails him. His
dramatic davastation of Floyd Patterson stunned the admirers of
the fallen champion, Patterson was pitiful on Saturday night.
There is a great temptation to
attribute puglistic supremacy to
race, when one's fellow raceman
happens to be the winner. It is
rather a good thing for the sport
when the championship changes
races, otherwise we all are too
prone to make it a race matter.
We shall never forget some
years ago, when Max Schmeling
murdered Joe Louis, there was a
great Baptist convention in session 
and the writer was to be
guest speaker for the occasion.
Convention hours conflicted with
prize - fighting hours and of
course there was a mere scattering 
of listeners to what I had to
say. Both men and women delegates 
be took themselves to the
nearest radio to enjoy one of
those rare evenings when Joe
Louis murdered his man with the
announcers familiar "It's a left
and right and a right and left and
be down etc Well Schmeling
finished Joe with such consummate, 
swiftness that the breath of
the radio audience was taken
away.
Very shortly, the delegates slipped 
back into the service one by
one and with evident meekness
What was to have been an occasion 
of jubilation turned out to be
one of dejection and humiliation.
Even I, as speaker, was hoping to
hear the good news, but alas!
Joe Louis, of course, came back
with a vengeance and chopped
Schmeling into abject defeat, but
what Max Schmeling did to him
that historic night is and will
ever remain a part of the pugilistic 
records.
Now comes Ingemar from Scandinavia 
and devastates our perfectly 
popular Negro champion,
Floyd Patterson. Of course the
segregationists of the Old South
will see in Johansson's victory another 
argument for segregation.
They see the victory as an argument 
for white supremacy with
all the rights and privileges that
appertain thereto. They are dead
certain that from herein, white,
by reason of being white, will rule
the pugilistic roost even as we
believed that Negroes would rule
the roost indefinitely when Joe
Louis was thrilling the world with
his ring exploits.
We were so quick to believe that
there was something about the
Negro that made him a champion.
We were just as wrong in attributing 
Joe Louis' prowess to race as
the Negrophobes are wrong in attributing 
Ingemar Johansson's victory 
to race. Muscle and skill and
stamina are the explanations of
fistic prowess.
There is a Negro somewhere getting 
ready to utterly destroy Johansson. 
And so the dirty work
goes on with thousands always
ready to sit in on a bloody orgy
called a prize fight, a vestige of
more savage days that we hope
may fall forever behind us. So called 
civilized man hungers for
the primitive savagery which our
ancestors knew in the jungle. It
just does not take much to turn
a so-called civilized man into a
savage brute. This is an ugly admission, 
but it is true.
While the Negro world is taken
aback a little over the dismal failure 
of Floyd Patterson, Hank
Aaron, mighty batsman of the Milwaukee 
Braves, is being hailed as
the greatest player in the big
leagues. Hank is superb this year.
Players of the big leagues have
acclaimed him as player of the
year, a great honor.
Hank is great this year not because 
he is a Negro and got his
start in the jim-crow South Atlantic 
league. He is great because
he can play baseball. It is not his
color but his consummate skill.
This time next year, the big
leagues may be proclaiming some
young white player. That will in
no wise detract from Aaron, whose
batting average is the highest in
the big leagues. What Aaron is
doing in the big leagues, Negroes
are ready to do in all lines of
human endeavor. The very attainment 
of Floyd Patterson and
Hank Aaron are arguments irrefutable 
against the eternalization
of the second class citizenship of
Negroes.
This nation can ill afford to Jet
an iota of energy go to waste with

Russia utilizing her every energy.
How in the world will nine-tenths
of America meet the challenge of
ten-tenths of Russia?

course there was a mere scattering 
of listeners to what I had to
say. Both men and women delegates 
be took themselves to the
nearest radio to enjoy one of
those rare evenings when Joe
Louis murdered his man with the
announcers familiar "It's a left
and right and a right and left and
be down etc Well Schmeling
finished Joe with such consummate, 
swiftness that the breath of
the radio audience was taken
away.
Very shortly, the delegates slipped 
back into the service one by
one and with evident meekness
What was to have been an occasion 
of jubilation turned out to be
one of dejection and humiliation.
Even I, as speaker, was hoping to
hear the good news, but alas!
Joe Louis, of course, came back
with a vengeance and chopped
Schmeling into abject defeat, but
what Max Schmeling did to him
that historic night is and will
ever remain a part of the pugilistic 
records.
Now comes Ingemar from Scandinavia 
and devastates our perfectly 
popular Negro champion,
Floyd Patterson. Of course the
segregationists of the Old South
will see in Johansson's victory another 
argument for segregation.
They see the victory as an argument 
for white supremacy with
all the rights and privileges that
appertain thereto. They are dead
certain that from herein, white,
by reason of being white, will rule
the pugilistic roost even as we
believed that Negroes would rule
the roost indefinitely when Joe
Louis was thrilling the world with
his ring exploits.
We were so quick to believe that
there was something about the
Negro that made him a champion.
We were just as wrong in attributing 
Joe Louis' prowess to race as
the Negrophobes are wrong in attributing 
Ingemar Johansson's victory 
to race. Muscle and skill and
stamina are the explanations of
fistic prowess.
There is a Negro somewhere getting 
ready to utterly destroy Johansson. 
And so the dirty work
goes on with thousands always
ready to sit in on a bloody orgy
called a prize fight, a vestige of
more savage days that we hope
may fall forever behind us. So called 
civilized man hungers for
the primitive savagery which our
ancestors knew in the jungle. It
just does not take much to turn
a so-called civilized man into a
savage brute. This is an ugly admission, 
but it is true.
While the Negro world is taken
aback a little over the dismal failure 
of Floyd Patterson, Hank
Aaron, mighty batsman of the Milwaukee 
Braves, is being hailed as
the greatest player in the big
leagues. Hank is superb this year.
Players of the big leagues have
acclaimed him as player of the
year, a great honor.
Hank is great this year not because 
he is a Negro and got his
start in the jim-crow South Atlantic 
league. He is great because
he can play baseball. It is not his
color but his consummate skill.
This time next year, the big
leagues may be proclaiming some
young white player. That will in
no wise detract from Aaron, whose
batting average is the highest in
the big leagues. What Aaron is
doing in the big leagues, Negroes
are ready to do in all lines of
human endeavor. The very attainment 
of Floyd Patterson and
Hank Aaron are arguments irrefutable 
against the eternalization
of the second class citizenship of
Negroes.
This nation can ill afford to Jet
an iota of energy go to waste with

Russia utilizing her every energy.
How in the world will nine-tenths
of America meet the challenge of
ten-tenths of Russia?

HANK UPHOLDS PEOPLE
Ingemar Johansson, the swatting Swede, is the new boxing
champion of the world and as such, this column hails him. His
dramatic davastation of Floyd Patterson stunned the admirers of
the fallen champion, Patterson was pitiful on Saturday night.
There is a great temptation to
attribute puglistic supremacy to
race, when one's fellow raceman
happens to be the winner. It is
rather a good thing for the sport
when the championship changes
races, otherwise we all are too
prone to make it a race matter.
We shall never forget some
years ago, when Max Schmeling
murdered Joe Louis, there was a
great Baptist convention in session 
and the writer was to be
guest speaker for the occasion.
Convention hours conflicted with
prize - fighting hours and of
course there was a mere scattering 
of listeners to what I had to
say. Both men and women delegates 
be took themselves to the
nearest radio to enjoy one of

Tornado Hits
Lake Lanier
A small
but powerful tornado churned across 
a resort area on Lake Lanier
Saturday, overturning boats and
damaging docks and buildings on
the shore. A dozen persons were
reported injured.
In a frantic hour after the storm
a number of persons reported missing 
turned up safely in groups of
two or three, or singly.
The Highway Patrol had reported, 
as many as seven persons missing 
on the twister-hit lake where
boats were flipped over and their
occupants spilled into the frothing 
water. Later, the Patrol said
all had been accounted for.
