A Salute To Negro Press Week
In this interim of Negro Press Week, no other venture
would be more appropriate than a brief summary of what the
Negro Press has meant to the world, the nation and civilization
in general. It has been said by them of old time, that "the pen
is mightier than the sword"-and some old poet, or somebody
wrote:
It would be needless to say that the Negro press in this
country had a modest beginning. It must be said that the Negro
press came upon the scene out of a burning zeal of patriotism.
It was the product of minds which were flown from the divine
altar, and nowhere in its annals has there appeared a strain
of discord, a thrust of un-Americanism nor an agency with one
fling of betrayal of the basic principles upon which this government 
rests.
The oldest Negro periodical now in circulation which has
not had a single break is the Christian Recorder, an official
organ of the A.M.E. Church. It was founded and first published
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, before the spark of freedom
came, to flower in this Deep South.
Negro newspapers came upon the scene to be mouthpieces
of genuine Americanism and advocates of freedom for all men
everywhere.
Frederick Douglass, whose North Star stirred the nation,
and his school of abolitionists gained much of their inspiration
and fervor from the Negro press. From it came much of the
spirit which led on such souls as made that impact upon the
nation's conscience which moves it to this day in the direction
of a fuller freedom and more effective civil rights.
The name of John Russwurm, founder of the first Negro
newspaper—Freedom Journal—will live on and on wherever
the Negro press is known.
The name of William Alexander Scott, II, who founded the
first successful Negro daily newspaper in this country and who
was born in the state of Mississippi and who claimed Georgia
as his adopted home, still lives in the minds and hearts of
those fellow countrymen who have tasted the ale of courage,
initiative and have yearned the days of a fuller freedom for
their people.
So, Negro Press Week comes this year upon an occasion
in which is found a bountiful harvest to the hard labors, sacrifices 
and perils through which we have come.
It is hailed, therefore, as one of the strong arms that has
held high this banner of a free Democracy in search for a lasting 
peace throughout the world. The harvest is rich in the
struggles against man's inhumanity to man and man's struggle
to measure injustice to certain of his fellows on account of
their racial identity.
We therefore hail with befitting pride this memorial week,
March 13th through the 19th.

Good News From Africa
As the world shrinks and within its narrow confines, men
differ and opinions clash, progressive minds are looking to the
unexplored regions of promise and possibility. As the years go
by more and more attention is being turned to Africa, that oft
referred to dark continent, in whose bowels repose those great
stratas of wealth and whose soil is rich and prolific and a
strong beacon to those who have the courage and initiative to
venture.
Bishop Francis H. Gow, prelate of the 15th Episcopal District 
of the A.M.E. Church and who was born in Cape-Town,
South Africa, in delivering the Founders Day address at Morris
Brown College, reemphasized the vastness of that continent. He
told of the great wealth, the rich stores of minerals and natural
resources which made Africa the richest continent on the globe.
Now and then men like Kenya's Tom Mboya have been
to this, country expounding the virtues of-their native heaths.'
Long ago such pioneers as Bishop Turner, who lived far ahead
of their time, strove to persuade the landless and friendless
freedmen to join in colonies and "possess the land" in rich
Africa.
As the years go by, men are coming into the realization
that Africa offers new opportunities and ventures-for those of
progressive ideas.
Once known to us as a hot-bed of slave runners and the
feeder for the American slave markets, Africa beckons in a
new sense.
We are happy to see those who come our way occasionally
point out to students and young people the vast opportunities
in the fatherland.
Africa one day will be rediscovered: Man will seize the
vastness of her powerful promise and there will be more room
for a crowded and confused civilization.

MANY DIXIE CHURCHES

tin L. King, Jr., remains unshaken;
and we regard the Alabama charges 
as a vain attempt to discredit
and discourage freedom-seeking
courageous leadership" Rev. H. C.
McEwen is pastor of the First
Congregational Church.
Another minister, Rev. William
Holmes Borders of Wheat street
Baptist Church said, "I believe
Dr. M. L. King Jr., will be able
prove himself innocent of the
charges of perjury and failure to
report accurately his income as
made by the State of Alabama."
TO Rev. A. F. Fisher of the
West Hunter Baptist Church, the
charges against Dr. King demonstrated 
"that the governing officials 
of Alabama are determined
to cause needless harassment to
a courageous Reader and were
possibly "hoping to use litigation
against Rev. Ring as and opening
to probe the records of the Montgomery 
Improvement Association"
of which Dr. King was president
until ills recent decision-to move
back to Atlanta. Rev. fisher re
garded 
such efforts by the state as
"grossly ridiculous in view of the
proven integrity of Dr. King and
the dedicated leadership he has
given in both civil rights and
Christian principles."
Ministers and churches in the
Atlanta community known to have
registered reactions, to the charges
against Dr. King are: Rev. R. B.
Shorts, presiding elder of the Atlanta 
District of the Christian
Methodist Church; a Rev. A. F.

If NAACP Is Flea,
What Is KKK And
Council, He Asks
J. M. Hinton, vice president and
agency director of Pilgrim Health
and Life Insurance Company of
Augusta, Ga., retaliated "remarks
made by The Honorable Daniel L.
McLeod, attorney general of South
Carolina, in an address before the
Charleston Fellowship Society,
Thursday, March 10.
Attorney McLeod was quoted as
saying, "We are a great people and
we must remain a great people.
Unfortunately every dog has Its
fleas, and we have our share. Not
the least of these is an organization 
known as the National Asso.
elation for the Advancement of
Colored People."
Mr. Hinton's rebuttal stated that
"if the NAACP is referred to as a
flea on a dog, we ask you the
question what about the KKK
and the Citizens Councils which
have been responsible for much
violence not only in South Carolina 
but throughout the South."
Hinton further stated that
"Every Negro leader-and every Negro 
organization that speaks out
or makes a fight within the framework 
of our constitution is referred 
to as one with communistic
aims, while white organizations
with similar aims, and even vio.
lent aims, are supposed to be made
up of good citizens".
Hinton told McLeod that the
South has its second chance to become 
a great section, by giving to
every citizen first class citizenship.
"The South lost the first chance
and God will not give the South
a third chance". Hinton stated.

THE LAND IS BRIGHT
BY JIM KJELGAARD

Ralph Campbell was one of the
Virginians that believed family traditions 
and sectional loyalties came
first in either war or peace. His
older, son, Macklyn, agreed with him
and gave up a commission as colonel
in the U. S. Army to serve the Confederaey. 
Ralph's younger son, Colin,
ludge of the district of Denbury, was
swayed between adherence to his father's 
wishes and his feeling of duty
to the Union.
Besides this problem, Colin la Having 
trouble with his aristocratic Bancee, 
Jeannie Dare. She is not tolerant
of his acquaintanceship with two
"poor whites," Ling, and Ann Stewart 
of the backwoods region of Hobbs
Creek. During a trip to the Stewarts'
log cabin to hunt with Ling, Colin
is entranced by a lovely old vacant
house. Saving discovered that the
house is owned by Ann's father and
can be bought, Colin proposes it to
Jeannie as their future home. Jeannie
belittles both the house and the
Stewarts at neighbors, and widens
the rift between Tier and Colin.
When. Christmas Eve. news comes
that South Carolina has seceded from
the Union. Colin is plunged into
gloom. He dreads the prospect of
having to take part in political discussion 
at his father's home, and
having to make a decision. . . .
SO CONSTANT had their quarrels 
grown that Colin Campbell 
knew it would not be long
before Jeannie would release
him. Vanity alone had made her
hold on this long. A week or two
after their visit to the mountains,
they had in fact had such a
serious disagreement that Jeannie 
by way of punishment, had
gone to visit a schoolmate in
Washington. She had just come
home for Christmas and Ralph
Campbell had invited Tom Dare
and his daughter to Quail Wings
for Christmas dinner tomorrow.
It she did not see for herself
that her "punishment" had failed,
Colin planned to ash her to break
their engagement He was thoroughly 
tired of living a fiction.
Lost in thought, he had ignored
the familiar landscape. Now
Dusty's eager gait told him they
were almost home. As the carnage 
pulled up before the house,
Hip front door was flung open.
"Colin! You old darling!"
"Betsie—you're here!"
The woman who threw her
arms around his neck was tall,
and made to seem taller by a
trim and well-proportioned body
that she carried as one born to
grace. Her lustrous dark hair
was done in ringlets which nodded 
down her slim back. Her full,
rich lips framed a smile ot welcome, 
and both laughter and mischief 
danced in her deep brown
eyes Betsie, Macklyn's wife, was
thirty-five, but it was still apparent 
why the former Miss Ballinger 
had long held sway as a
reigning beauty. She still commanded 
a second and more lingering 
glance from all males between 
the ages ot sixteen and
seventy-six. Colin embraced her
joyously. Here was one person
at Quail Wings with whom he
could never quarrel.
"Betsie! When did you get in?"

"This afternoon and a good
thing! One more day in Washington 
and Macklyn would have
started fighting those Yankees
all by himself. Stand back and
let me look at you."
Grinning, he underwent her inspection. 
Betsie laid a forefinger
along her chin and shook her
head in mock dismay.
"It's a mortal sin."
"What is, Betsie?"
"That a man as handsome as
you has stayed single so long.
But I hear it won't be much longer." 

"Are we alone?"
"For the moment, yes."
"Can you keep a secret?"
"Cross my heart!"
"I'm afraid the wedding is off.
The lady changed her mind. She'll
be here tomorrow for Christmas
dinner and she'll keep up appearances, 
you know, but she'll
be announcing it soon."
Betsie studied him shrewdly.
"You sound almost-as heartbroken 
as if you'd said it was going
to rain tomorrow."
"Can you keep another secret?"
"I'm sure I can," Betsie smiled.
"I'm delighted. It would have
been a disaster."
"Then I'm delighted, too," Betsie 
said. "But you won't escape
forever, you, know."
"I hope not," Then, dismissing
the subject he asked, "Where are
the children?"
"Linda and Lorena," Betsie
grimaced, "are out pestering
Zach to give them the wildest
mounts he can find for them.
Ralph's still at West Point, but
he'll be here soon."
"He's resigning his commission,
too?"
"You didn't know?" Betsie's
voice was hollowly dramatic. "A
Campbell who served in Mr. Lincoln's 
army! Why, he'd just as
soon forget to help a lady, if she
was pretty enough, into her carriage!" 

"Macklyn is with Father, I
suppose?"
"Yes, they're celebrating South
Carolina's secession."
"Celebrating! Are they insane?" 

"Evidently," said Betsie, as she
left him it the door ot his father's 
study.
They had, indeed, been celebrating—to 
such an extent that
they had managed to swallow the
common delusion, along with
much Bourbon, that secession
would rule out any possibility of
war.
"Don't you see," Macklyn asked
Colin after they had greeted each
other warmly, "that if there-is-a
separate nation composed ot the
Southern states, the present reasons 
for conflict will vanish overnight? 
This whole quarrel over
the new states being admitted
to the Union—the question of
whether they should be free or

slave states— has been responsible 
for more bitterness than any
other point. By setting up their
own country, with their own
laws, their own government and
all that goes with it the Southern 
states will wipe out this
problem altogether and, with it,
the danger of war." He smiled
happily.
"Secession might wipe out that
particular problem," Colin answered, 
"but it raises dozens of
others. What happens, for example, 
to federal property within
this separate nation? Fort Sumter 
in Charleston harbor belongs
to the United States government.
What would you do with it?"
"The fort belongs to South
Carolina—it lies within her boundaries," 
Macklyn answered firmly.
"You lawyers are always splitting 
hairs."
"Perhaps. But don't forget that
the Congress in Washington is
made up largely of lawyers. It
won't he any different in the
capital of your new nation."
Nothing could shake Macklyn'a
happy conviction. He and Ralph
Campbell were too elated for argument 
that night The stormy
evening Colin had forseen was
spent instead in swapping stories
and reminiscences.
The next morning, Christmas
day, Macklyn told Colin that he
planned to run as delegate to the
Richmond convention that had
been called to determine whether
or not Virginia would secede He
would, of course, stand in favor
of secession.
"You won't have my vote." Colin 
said, smiling. "In fuel. I'll
do my: darndest to persuade wimever 
I can to vote for your opposition." 

Macklyn was less elated today.
He did not answer Colin's smile.
By the time Jeannie and Tom
Dare arrived for Christmas dm
ner only Betsie and tier daughters 
were in a festive and hospitable 
frame of mind, Colin had
double reason to dread this gathering. 
Macklyn and his father
Were preoccupied with matters
of state.
Jeannie was all smiles and
charm to everyone but Colin. By
little signs that only he would
understand, she let him Know
that he was still being punished,
that apologies should be forthcoming—or 
else.
Macklyn had never met Jeannie 
before. "However much we
disagree in other matters," he
Bald in compliment to Jeannie,
"I can see that we share the
Campbell eye for beauty, Colin."
Ralph Campbell beamed at the
lovely girl who would, tie thought,
soon be his daughter-in-law. "If
I were twenty years younger, I'd
try to beat Colin out myself!"
Colin wished himself a hundred
miles away.

Creek. During a trip to the Stewarts'
log cabin to hunt with Ling, Colin
is entranced by a lovely old vacant
house. Saving discovered that the
house is owned by Ann's father and
can be bought, Colin proposes it to
Jeannie as their future home. Jeannie
belittles both the house and the
Stewarts at neighbors, and widens
the rift between Tier and Colin.
When. Christmas Eve. news comes
that South Carolina has seceded from
the Union. Colin is plunged into
gloom. He dreads the prospect of
having to take part in political discussion 
at his father's home, and
having to make a decision. . . .
SO CONSTANT had their quarrels 
grown that Colin Campbell 
knew it would not be long
before Jeannie would release
him. Vanity alone had made her
hold on this long. A week or two
after their visit to the mountains,
they had in fact had such a
serious disagreement that Jeannie 
by way of punishment, had
gone to visit a schoolmate in
Washington. She had just come
home for Christmas and Ralph
Campbell had invited Tom Dare
and his daughter to Quail Wings
for Christmas dinner tomorrow.
It she did not see for herself
that her "punishment" had failed,
Colin planned to ash her to break
their engagement He was thoroughly 
tired of living a fiction.
Lost in thought, he had ignored
the familiar landscape. Now
Dusty's eager gait told him they
were almost home. As the carnage 
pulled up before the house,
Hip front door was flung open.
"Colin! You old darling!"
"Betsie—you're here!"
The woman who threw her
arms around his neck was tall,
and made to seem taller by a
trim and well-proportioned body
that she carried as one born to
grace. Her lustrous dark hair
was done in ringlets which nodded 
down her slim back. Her full,
rich lips framed a smile ot welcome, 
and both laughter and mischief 
danced in her deep brown
eyes Betsie, Macklyn's wife, was
thirty-five, but it was still apparent 
why the former Miss Ballinger 
had long held sway as a
reigning beauty. She still commanded 
a second and more lingering 
glance from all males between 
the ages ot sixteen and
seventy-six. Colin embraced her
joyously. Here was one person
at Quail Wings with whom he
could never quarrel.
"Betsie! When did you get in?"

"This afternoon and a good
thing! One more day in Washington 
and Macklyn would have
started fighting those Yankees
all by himself. Stand back and
let me look at you."
Grinning, he underwent her inspection. 
Betsie laid a forefinger
along her chin and shook her
head in mock dismay.
"It's a mortal sin."
"What is, Betsie?"
"That a man as handsome as
you has stayed single so long.
But I hear it won't be much longer." 

"Are we alone?"
"For the moment, yes."
"Can you keep a secret?"
"Cross my heart!"
"I'm afraid the wedding is off.
The lady changed her mind. She'll
be here tomorrow for Christmas
dinner and she'll keep up appearances, 
you know, but she'll
be announcing it soon."
Betsie studied him shrewdly.
"You sound almost-as heartbroken 
as if you'd said it was going
to rain tomorrow."
"Can you keep another secret?"
"I'm sure I can," Betsie smiled.
"I'm delighted. It would have
been a disaster."
"Then I'm delighted, too," Betsie 
said. "But you won't escape
forever, you, know."
"I hope not," Then, dismissing
the subject he asked, "Where are
the children?"
"Linda and Lorena," Betsie
grimaced, "are out pestering
Zach to give them the wildest
mounts he can find for them.
Ralph's still at West Point, but
he'll be here soon."
"He's resigning his commission,
too?"
"You didn't know?" Betsie's
voice was hollowly dramatic. "A
Campbell who served in Mr. Lincoln's 
army! Why, he'd just as
soon forget to help a lady, if she
was pretty enough, into her carriage!" 

"Macklyn is with Father, I
suppose?"
"Yes, they're celebrating South
Carolina's secession."
"Celebrating! Are they insane?" 

"Evidently," said Betsie, as she
left him it the door ot his father's 
study.
They had, indeed, been celebrating—to 
such an extent that
they had managed to swallow the
common delusion, along with
much Bourbon, that secession
would rule out any possibility of
war.
"Don't you see," Macklyn asked
Colin after they had greeted each
other warmly, "that if there-is-a
separate nation composed ot the
Southern states, the present reasons 
for conflict will vanish overnight? 
This whole quarrel over
the new states being admitted
to the Union—the question of
whether they should be free or

slave states— has been responsible 
for more bitterness than any
other point. By setting up their
own country, with their own
laws, their own government and
all that goes with it the Southern 
states will wipe out this
problem altogether and, with it,
the danger of war." He smiled
happily.
"Secession might wipe out that
particular problem," Colin answered, 
"but it raises dozens of
others. What happens, for example, 
to federal property within
this separate nation? Fort Sumter 
in Charleston harbor belongs
to the United States government.
What would you do with it?"
"The fort belongs to South
Carolina—it lies within her boundaries," 
Macklyn answered firmly.
"You lawyers are always splitting 
hairs."
"Perhaps. But don't forget that
the Congress in Washington is
made up largely of lawyers. It
won't he any different in the
capital of your new nation."
Nothing could shake Macklyn'a
happy conviction. He and Ralph
Campbell were too elated for argument 
that night The stormy
evening Colin had forseen was
spent instead in swapping stories
and reminiscences.
The next morning, Christmas
day, Macklyn told Colin that he
planned to run as delegate to the
Richmond convention that had
been called to determine whether
or not Virginia would secede He
would, of course, stand in favor
of secession.
"You won't have my vote." Colin 
said, smiling. "In fuel. I'll
do my: darndest to persuade wimever 
I can to vote for your opposition." 

Macklyn was less elated today.
He did not answer Colin's smile.
By the time Jeannie and Tom
Dare arrived for Christmas dm
ner only Betsie and tier daughters 
were in a festive and hospitable 
frame of mind, Colin had
double reason to dread this gathering. 
Macklyn and his father
Were preoccupied with matters
of state.
Jeannie was all smiles and
charm to everyone but Colin. By
little signs that only he would
understand, she let him Know
that he was still being punished,
that apologies should be forthcoming—or 
else.
Macklyn had never met Jeannie 
before. "However much we
disagree in other matters," he
Bald in compliment to Jeannie,
"I can see that we share the
Campbell eye for beauty, Colin."
Ralph Campbell beamed at the
lovely girl who would, tie thought,
soon be his daughter-in-law. "If
I were twenty years younger, I'd
try to beat Colin out myself!"
Colin wished himself a hundred
miles away.

Formal Charges Made

tomers.
Both managers also admitted that
none of the students involved in
the protests were disorderly in any
way, and they also admitted that
the students were qualified in every
way to be served, except for their
race.
As for Douglas, the, student who
was released, testimony entered into 
the record at the hearing indicated 
that he had attempted to
leave the State Capitol cafeteria
after being asked, only to have the
doors locked shut on him by lunch
room personnel.
Evidence showed, with apparently 
nothing to the contrary, that
Douglas walked to the door after
the group he was with were asked
to leave.
Evidence also indicated that the
door to the outside of the cafeteria
was closed and locked just as Douglas 
attempted his exit.
He asked to be let through the
locked door, according to trial testimony, 
but a woman employee of
the cafeteria refused to allow him
to leave "until state troopers ar
rived 
to investigate."
Based on his effort to leave and
the refusal that met his requests,
presiding Judge E. A. (Ed) Wright
dismissed the case against Douglas.
Prefacing his committment of the
17 remaining youths, Judge Wright
had a few things to say about what
he thought of the student demonstrations. 

Judge Wright said it seemed that
all the participants in; the demonstration 
were college students. "To
me," he said, "this is unfortunate
because those involved are the hope
o the Negro race of tomorrow and
the future leaders of the race."
"They have ambitions for themselves 
and their race," the judge
continued, "but unfortunately they
have now placed themselves in a
position where they may not attain
those ambitions."
The reason for that premise
Judge Wright said, was "because if
the students are convicted they will
forever have a black mark will
their records."
Parenthetically, the judge observed 
that the students before him
had apparently deliberately violated 
and defied the state laws.
"It seems to me that if the validity 
of the laws had to be tested,
it could have been done without
stuednts violating penal codes. It
could have been done through civil
proceeding similar to those recently 
enacted against the Atlanta Municipal, 
Airport Terminal restaurant."
"If ever they apply for a job, it
is possible now that they will have
to list a criminal record on their
applications. It looks like the students 
deliberately violated the laws
of the state," Judge Wright said.
"I'm sure the students sought no
advice from other source, or I am
sure Attorney Walden or Attorney
Hollowell would have advised them
against it," the judge concluded.
But, contrary to the, Judge's
statement, Attorney Walden, buttonholed 
by reporters following the
hearing, said he would not have
attempted to advise the students
against the demonstrations.
As for future jobs, Walden reckoned 
that the possible criminal records 
attained as a result of the
demonstrations would not be detrimental 
to the defendants.
"In fact," Walden said, "the records 
may very well help them in
many ways."
If the students are asked about
criminal records during future job
Interviews, Walden reckoned, "it
will be very easy to explain."
Walden didn't agere with Judge
Wright's statement, but, he said,
"I appreciate the judge's spirit."
The students arrested at the
courthouse cafeteria were bound
over to the Criminal Court under
a total of $600 bonds coach. The $600

figure represented a $200 bond on
each of the three charges against
each of them.
The charges included the recently 
enacted law, passed by the 1960
General Assembly making it unlawful 
to remain on a business
premise when asked to leave; an
anti-mask law, originally aimed at
the Negro-baiting Ku Klux Klan,
that makes it a misdemeanor to
commit an unlawful act, masked
or unmasked, and an "unlawful
assemblage" statute.
The demonstrators arrested at
the State Capitol, Douglas excepted,
were bound over to Criminal Court
under total $400 bonds each for
two violations of state law.
The statutes used against them
were the 1960 act, and the unlawful 
assemblage measure.
Fulton Criminal Court Solicitor
John I. Kelly could net give an
exact date when the students would
face a hearing in his courts, but
he indicated that the first days of
April may be the time when the
cases will be tried either before
Judges Charles Wofford or Charles
Bruce, the only two Judges in Criminal 
Court.
Meanwhile, two out-of-state
youths, identified as Ralph Jennings, 
of Virginia, and James McAllister, 
of Detroit, began serving a
30-day sentence each, Wednesday in
the City Stockade for their participation 
in a "dangerous incident"
directed at a Negro radio station
newsman Tuesday at the scene of
one demonstration.
The white youths were accused
and tried in Recorders Court Tuesday 
afternoon after using abusive
language and kicking Paul E. X.
Brown, the radio newsman.
Brown was at a bus station covering 
the demonstration at that point
when the incident occurred. The
contingent of city police at that
scene, headed by Detective Captain 
R. E. Little, Jr., quickly hustled 
the youths off the scene and
arrested them for tailing to move
on at police Commands.
Little said the incident was the
only "dangerous incident" that
arose out of the entire massive
demonstrations Tuesday.
At exactly 11:30 a. m. Tuesday
and estimated 200 students appeared 
at 10 different white owned
eating establishments just at the
beginning of the lunch rush hour
and asked for service.
They were all refused service and
77 were arrested either by city,
county or state officers. The demonstrations 
occurred at such places
as City Hall, Pulton County Courthouse, 
the State Capitol, two railway 
stations, and two bus stations. 
Arrests were made at each
ot those points.
Demonstrator at two cafeterias
located in buildings housing federal
offices and owned by the federal
government were riot arrested, but
the cafeterias in which they protested 
were closed down and locked 
by the management.

afternoon after using abusive
language and kicking Paul E. X.
Brown, the radio newsman.
Brown was at a bus station covering 
the demonstration at that point
when the incident occurred. The
contingent of city police at that
scene, headed by Detective Captain 
R. E. Little, Jr., quickly hustled 
the youths off the scene and
arrested them for tailing to move
on at police Commands.
Little said the incident was the
only "dangerous incident" that
arose out of the entire massive
demonstrations Tuesday.
At exactly 11:30 a. m. Tuesday
and estimated 200 students appeared 
at 10 different white owned
eating establishments just at the
beginning of the lunch rush hour
and asked for service.
They were all refused service and
77 were arrested either by city,
county or state officers. The demonstrations 
occurred at such places
as City Hall, Pulton County Courthouse, 
the State Capitol, two railway 
stations, and two bus stations. 
Arrests were made at each
ot those points.
Demonstrator at two cafeterias
located in buildings housing federal
offices and owned by the federal
government were riot arrested, but
the cafeterias in which they protested 
were closed down and locked 
by the management.

HIRINGS IN JANUARY
EXCEED SEPARATIONS
The U.
S. Labor Department reported that
labor turnover rates in January
continued to reflect high levels of
activity in manufacturing.
Total Wrings exceeded separations 
(layoffs, quits, discharges,
and miscellaneous separations) by
the comparatively large amount for
this month of 5 per 1,000 employees
on the payroll, the Department's
Bureau of Labor Statistics said.
Durable goods industries accounted 
for the excess of Wrings over
separations.
Hirings declined from 38 to 33

per 1,000, settling down from the
high steel strike recovery rate
However, layoffs also dropped, by
4 per cent 1,000, from the about,
average December level of 17 per
1,000. As is usual in January, voluntary 
quits (at 10 per 1,000) were
virtually Unchanged.
The transportation equipment and
fabricated metal products in industries 
showed especially charp
declines in Wrings after the heavy
recalls of the month before. Recovery 
from the steel strike was
still a factor in the January labor
turnover picture, but its importance 
was waning. The recall of
laid-off workers represented, about
one-half of all factory hiring in
January. During the previous month,
when employment losses were being 
rapidly recouped, recalled workers 
represented two third of the
high hiring total. During most of
the summer and fall of 1959, on
the other hand, recalled workers
accounted for only one third of
total factory hiring.

Delta Posse,
Bloodhounds In
Throwing Of Hay
They sent way up to Parchman
where the state penitentiary is to
get bloodhounds, and when they
arrived about 10 p. m. Winston
County Sheriff Jack Warner, a
bunch of his deputies, a contingent
of state highway patrolmen and
some citizens, all heavily armed,
formed a posse.
They trailed the Negro fugitive
for more than five miles through
woods and swamps and finally: lost
his trail on a highway about 4:30
a. m. It was a cold bitter night
but they were determined.
Sheriff Warner said the hunt for
the Negro would be resumed. "He
must be caught," he announced.
What did the Negro do?
Well Farmer Thad Kinard went
out to his barn about 5 p. m. and
heard a noise up in the hayloft. He
looked up and a Negro stared down
at him. Instead of coming down,
the Negro hurled a bale Of hay at
Kinard knocking him to the
ground. When he got up, the Negro 
tossed down several more bales.
By the time Thad Kinard could
get to his feet, the Negro had fled,
Kinard, bruised and mad, called
the sheriff and the manhunt: was
on.

Sit-ins Are No

He said in most of the cities he
toured he discovered that white
citizens have been placed in three
categories, according to their reaction 
to the movement. He classified 
them as: (1) hoodlums, who
are opposing the movement openly 
by burning the "sit-ins" with
cigarettes, throwing hot soup and
coffee in their faces, etc. (2) masses
in the middle, which are not doing
or saying anything openly. (3)
Power Structure, Which consists of
business men, who are not working
toward a solution, however, who
will have to do something eventually, 
because they are being effected
economically.
The editor said, During my tour
many people asked me what has
happened in Memphis? Why are
the students there so complacent?"
Palmer concluded "Something
has got to give in this movement."
The speaker was presented by
Thaddeus T. Stokes, a member of
the Frontiers and editor of the
Memphis World, Presiding at the
meeting was H. A. Caldwell, vice
president.

Mississippian Gets

him five Negroes, he would put two
to work on his weekly newspapers
in Pittsburgh and three to work at
his home and farm in the Pittsburgh 
area.
"What qualifications do they have
to have-just be colored?" asked
Williams.
A burst of laughter almost crowned 
out Fulton's reply: "The two for
the newspapers should be equal to
the average congressman, I would
say."
Fulton owns six weekly community 
newspapers in the Pittsburgh
area and a 58-acre farm which is
located in the middle of a populated 
area near the city limits.
Williams told the House last week
that he sent telegrams to mayors
of 11 northern communities asking
each if he would arrange to provide 
accommodations and jobs for
150 Negro families from Mississippi.
Williams reported that nine did
not reply, including Burgess Al
Kaufman of Brentwood, a suburban
Pittsburgh community in Fulton's
district.
Fulton explained to the House
Monday that when Kaufman told
him about the telegram, he advised
Kaufman to ignore it. Fulton said
he told Kaufman it was just a
"publicity stunt" by Williams.
