MISSISSIPPI GOVERNOR
DEFENDS JIM
CROW BILL

Jackson, Miss, Feb, (CNA)-Join
ing the Mississippi Senate in its open
expression of contempt for the federal
Constitution and the rights of the Ne
gro people, Governor Johnson said this
week he would ignore the threat of the
American Civil Liberties Union to test
constitutionality of the ji1n-crow mea-
sure passed by the State Senate pro-
viding separate civics textbooks for
Negro and white pupils in the first
and eighth grades.
Under the bill it would be possible
TO designate special civics books for
Negro children which would eliminate
any instruction in the principles of vot-
ing. The bill passed by vote of 81
to 9. The Senate also voted to keep
free textbooks for Negroes in separate
warehouses.
Senator H. L. Davis of Oxford, a
big plantation owner and one of the
oldest members of the Legislature, in
discussing the two sets of civics text
books, launched into a vicious TRADE
.gainst the Negro people AS if there
had been no Civil War and the des-
truction of the system of chattel slav-
cry, he said:

Races Grievances In
Broadcast

Boston, Mass, Feb. There
should be at least nine Race senator's,
at least one Race man on the United
States Supreme Court bench, and num-
erous members of the Race in the
House of Representatives, said Julian
d. Steele, first vice president of the
local branch National Association for
the Advancement of Coiored People
last week in radio broadcast.
The occasion was round table dis
cussion in which each speaker repre-
sented minority group in the broad
cast, via the National Broadcasting
company's WBZ and WBZA outlets.
Judge David A. Rose, prominent
Jewish leader, and Senator Edward
O'Hearn Mullowney, upholding the
Catholic cause, were the other guest
speakers of the evening.
Steele featured his arguments with
well-presented and we'll timed praise
of Justice Black who wrote the recent
Supreme Court Opinion saving four
Florida citizens from the death SEN
tence. IT was warmly applauded.
Judge Rose, before reviewing the
persecution of the Jews in Germany
opened his talk with the declaration:
TN America we are all minorities."
Senator Mullowney presented the
religious ideals of the true Catholic
and twice stressed his personal stand
against the type of intolerance preach
ed by Father Coughlin. "Those who
preach racial intolerance among us are
traitors, to our country said the sen
ator.
Steele was the most outspoken and
popular speaker on the program. The
Harvard honor graduate spoke against
the practice of denying the Race use
of the ballot.
In reply to a question as to why his
race didn't make better use of political
powers, Steele pointed out that Race
folk had been so long discouraged
from the denied political privileges un-
til many did not even know their
rights. This condition he believed
would be remedied
Twin-City herald., 1940-02-24

Under the Constitution, the Negro
is citizen, and, of course, we know
and accept that. But he can never ex-
pect to be given the same educational
and social privileges with the white
man, and he doesn't expect them. The
best education we can give him is to
use his hands because that's how he
must earn his living. 1t always has
been and always will be-
Negroes are in the majority of the
population of the state, provide prac-
tically all the field labor for the big
plantation owners at barely subsis-
tence wage, but are forcibly denied the
right to vote and to educate their chill
dren. The State not only deny ade-
quate funds for Negro education, but
it consistently misappropriates federal
funds for the purpose.
Arthur Garfield Hayes, counsel for
the -ACLU had te1egraphed the Gov
ernor asking him to veto the measure
and asserting its constitutionality
would be attacked if it were put on the
statute books.
