usually is no money 'over and above
institutional expenses" We, there
fore, recommend that enough funds
be set lip in the budget for Negro
schools to provide transportation
for Negro children in districts
where conditions variant it.
LENGTH OF SCHOOL TERM:
We recommend that the law es-
tablishing an eight months school
term for Mississippi schools be
made operative for Negro schools by
providing sufficient funds for an
extension of school terms and max
ing it mandatory that these funds
be used for this purpose only.
SCHOOL BUILDINGS:
There are 3,737 Negro schools In
Mississippi. OF this number, $500
are housed in churches, tenant
houses, or any other type Of build
ing available. In view of this situa-
ton and in view of the fact that
some counties are unable to act on
this problem, we recommend that
State funds be provided for the
State Building Service Commission
to build Negro elementary schools
in the State of Mississippi. AL
though some of these schools may
be one teacher schools, it is rec
commended that they do not be one
room schools. Rather, they should
have provided with a classroom.
activity room, lunch room and a
room for health service.
SCHOOL EQUIPMENTS:
We recommend that State funds
be made available to adequately
provide teaching equipment and
school furniture for the elementary
schools of the State.

years.
This will be a tangible beginning
to establish in part the legal re-
quirement of separate but equal
educational facilities" in the schools
of the State.
PROFESSIONAL TRAINING
We recommend that four years of
high school training shall be be the
minimum amount of training for
an elementary school teachers
TEACHER LOAD:
In view. of the heavy pupil per
teacher existing in many Negro
schools on the elementary school
level, which greatly influences
teaching and learning effectiveness,
we recommend that a Sympathic
enforcement of the existing law
pertaining thereto be made i'm the
operation of Negro schools.
The situation with regard to
teacher load is especially acute in
elementary schools of municipalities
and separate school districts. Lack
Of funds is the reason generally
given by superintendent. In view
of this fact, We recommend that
the State provide funds to elimi-
nate the crowded condition exist
ing in these schools, the teaching
load in which sometimes runs as
high as 90 pupils per teacher.
CONSOLIDATION:
We recommend that the law ap-
plying to consolidated schools be
interpreted as follows: Whenever
consolidation has been voted upon
in a school district and has become
operative for that district, that it
be made TO apply also to Negro
schools in that district and that
Negroes share proportionately in
whatever funds are provided there
fore"
We further recommend that con-
solidation of Negro schools be pro-
vided for, whenever and wherever
local conditions make it necessary
and desirable. The committee does
not recommend Wholesale and in
discriminate consolidation.
TRANSPORTATION:
According to the Kyle-Cooke
Law, the county superintendent
have been given legal sanction to
provide funds out of the school
budget, over and above instruction.

NEEDS ON THE HIGH
SCHOOL LEVEL
PROFESSIONAL TRAINING:

We recommend that a teacher in
any public high school of the State
shall not have less than two years
of college training
SALARIES, BUILDINGS, EQUIP-
MENT ETC. FOR
ACCREDITMENT
Mississippi Is the only State that
does not have a single Negro school
accredited by regional acrediting
agency. Therefore, we strongly rec
ommend that the State urge and
encourage municipalities and sepa-
rate school districts to provide
adequate buildings, libraries, teach
ers, equipment and salaries for
teachers in the high schools to
meet requirements set by regional
accrediting agencies
VOCATIONAL TRAINING
We recommend that wide
variety of vocational activities be
set up in Negro high schools, and
that adequate funds be set up to
promote such program. This pro-
gram should include vocational
agriculture, the trades, and train
ing for industrial and distributive
occupations. This program should
be designed to take care of the re-
turning veterans.
AVAILABILITY OF HIGH
SCHOOL TRAINING:
The Committee recommends that
high school training be made avail
able for every Negro child of high
school age in the State, with the
modification that in sparsely popu-
lated counties one high school
made available for Negroes living

ADULT EDUCATION:
We recommend that the State
promote an extensive program OF
adult education
JUNIOR COLLEGES:
We recommend that at least
three junior colleges be located at
strategic points in the State. 1t Is
suggested that the first one be To-
Gated in the Delta, the second one
in East Mississippi, and the third
In South Mississippi
STATE SUPPORTED COLLEGES:
The Committee strongly recon-
mends that the appropriations of
the two State supported colleges be
greatly increased to take care of
expanding human and physical
| needs. This recommendation is ba-
sic to the above recommendation
for it is the colleges that train the
teachers for our schools. Increased
salaries and we'll trained teachers
are the two noISpenSableS.
While the Committee realizes
| that such a program as outlined
above will meet with difficulties if
an attempt is made to put it into
effect Immediately, yet, we believe
that the overall planning for it
should be done Immediately. A six
year limit should be set for its Ill
innate realization.

Negro Soldiers Called
Goodwill Ambassadors
By FRANK D. GODDEN

WITH THE U. S. ARMY IN
ITALY, Dec. ID (ANP)-In the
"Stars and Stripes" the armed
forces daily paper, 1t. William H.
Venn, a member of the army air
force, praised the American Negro
soldier.
"Deportment of American color
ed soldiers in public as well as on
duty is quite worthy of emulation
and warm commendation," he
wrote. "These men are decided
credit to their race and a profound
asset to their country or any
country and their integral import
ance should be more openly recog-
nized and accredited"
While in Africa, I was told by a
British soldier that American Ne
gro soldiers are Americas best
goodwill ambassadors. They are
kind, sympathetic and generous
The Italian people have discovered
that Negro soldiers are sympa
thetic and of course, they play upor
that good nature.
However, / do believe that the
worlds future peace will be basee
upon small deeds done by soldiers
in those conquered countries. N

Navy HEARS PLEAF0R
DISCHARGED SEABEES

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ia (ANP)
The Navy's board of review, dis
charges and dismissals began TAX
ing testimony here in the cases of
19 Seabees who had been dis
charged from the service on Oct. %,
1943, while serving in Trinidad be-
cause they accepted the invitation
of their commanding officer to
have "man to man" and "off the
record" talk
The seven-man board is headed
by Capt. Anton B. Anderson, USN.
The petitioners are represented by
Arthur Garfield Hayes, Civil Liber-
ties Union; and Thurgood Marshall,
NAACP.
Isaac McNatt, one of the petit
tioners, was the first to take the
stand. He explained the circum-
stances Of the meeting that was
held in the office of the command
ing officer, Comdr. Harry Canty, a
week before the discharges, and
denied that he had participated in
any "seditious meeting" among the
men or had made radical" state
ments as charged. McNatt said that
his discharge left upon him the
stigma of dishonor.
Although the men were gener.
ally dishonorably discharged, the
late Navy Secy, Frank Knox re-
scinded the discharges in the cases
of McNatt and two others, but die
not make them honorable.
"Inaptitude" and "unfitness
were given by the Navy as tn
basis for the severances. Counse
for petitioners intend to show tina
this was not the case, and will g.
further and prove that the dis
charges were unjustified, and tina
if they are to stand they should b.
changed to honorable.

LOUISVILLE PASTOR

FRANKFORT, KY, Dec. IA
(ANP)-Claims of the Rev. Peter
w. Crawford and his supporters to
control of Asbury Chapel AME
church, Louisville, were upheld by
the Kentucky Court of Appeals
here.
The opinion in a suit brought by
members of the congregation sup
porting their former pastor, the
Rev. w. E. Spillman, was written by
Court Commissioner Osso w. STAN
ley, prominent Methodist layman.
It pointed out that this same court
was called on 80 years ago to rule
in split among the congregation
of the same church and added that
differences have vexed congrega-
tions since the split in the Corinth
church 1900 years ago, and then re-
ferring to the Rev. Mr.. Spillman's
followers, concluded: together in
unity, worshipping God in harmony
around a common altar"
Asbury Chapel, one of the oldest
Negro congregations in the country

ago under auspices of the Southern
Methodist church, but before the
Civil war had become independent

uted by the Dayton Branch Of the
NAACP. The seals, which the asso-
citation hopes will be used in un-
precedented numbers on letters and
