Denies Pressure On Educators
To Endorse HarrisOn-Black Bill

NEW YORK-The National Ed

executive secretary. Or. willard
q, Givens, denied today in a tele-
gram to the NAAcP that the NEA
had requested southern superin-
tenden.s of education to have Ne
gro educators endorse the Harri-
son-Black bill for Federal aid to
education without amendments, as
It now stands. DR.. Givens' tele-
gram was sent in response to one
from Walter White, secretary of
the NAACP, asking If reports
We're true that such pressure was
being brought to bear on Negro
teachers IN southern states. DR.,
Givens admits, however, an edi-
torial in the Journal Of Negro Ed
ucation, for amendments viii j
would insure equal distribution On
a racial basis Of Federal funds for
education to be given by the Har-
rison-Black Bin, "it would not be
surprising if some southern SUI

in REPUTATION Of statements of Ne

appropriated S1,120, 43O to Virgin

Federal moneys which the Har-
rison-Black Bill would appropriate,
on a basis whereby Negro child
rem in states where separate
schools are mandatory by law
would receive exactly the same
amounts per student as win be
expended for education of white
children. The Harrison-Black Bill
would appropriate one hundred
million dollars annually until a
total Of three hundred million dol
lars a year is contributed by the
Federal government to the states
for educational purposes. The
NAACP pointed out again today
that the south spends an average
Of $44.31 for the education Of q
white child as contrasted with
$12.57 for the education of a Ne
gro child. In some counties in the
Black Belt the ratio rises as high
as f~ifty-to-one against the Negro
children, and the statistics show
that the denser the Negro popu-
lation and the more money the
county has to spend on education,
the smaller the amount it expends
on Negro Schools.

LETTERS RECEIVED
First Flown in Regular Serv.

The first airmail letters flown in
regular service over the Atlantic were
received late yesterday by philatelists
and collectors in WasIinton. They
were flown from Bermuda to New
York in the British Imperial Air
ways flying boat, R. M. A. Cavalier,
marking the first official operation of
the great British Empire system on
this side of the Atlantic.
Because the United States Govern
ment has not authorized airmail serv-
ice over the route, although it is
being flown by Pan American Air
ways Jointly with the British service,
no off1cial mail can be flown eastward
over the route. Until Congress acts
there will be just one-way airmail
service from Bermuda to the United
States.
Through the international postal
convention agreements, however, mail
nown into the United States from
Bermuda is acceptable for postal
handling within the United States
1t was pointed out.
Regular commercial air transport
operations between New York and Ber-
muda were to be inaugurated today
by Pan American, and hereafter the
British and American lines will op-
crate on alternate schedules. The
cavalier is to leave Bermuda every
wednesday morning for New York,
returning on Saturday. The Ameri-
can clipper will leave New York each
Thursday. returning Sunday. Depar-
ture times at both ends are 9 am.

time is scheduled at five and one
