average colored farmer has fam
lily of five, this means that more
than $4,000 colored tenants and
sharecroppers have either fallen
to the status of day laborers or
migrated from the rural South.
Agricultural officials explained
that tenant farmer differs from
a sharecropper in that the tenant
farmer usually has some live
stock and a few farming tools
with which to work, while the
sharecfopper merely lives on a
farm and works with the tools
and livestock provided by the
owner.
While DR.. Raper holds to the
theory that mechanization is re-

Son OF Senator
BiIbo Prefers
Army Career
No Discrimination In Mess Clubs
Under His Command

Frankfort, Germany { NNPA J.
Lieutenant Colonel Theodore G.
Bilbo, Jr., last Friday avoided
making any commitment as to his
availability to succeed his father
if the old man ultimately should
be denied a seat in the Senate and
Governor Field l.. Wright of Mis-
sissippi should offer him the post
for the unexpired term.
Young Bilbo, mess officer for
headquarters of the United States
forces in Europe at first abso-
lutely refused to commit himself
on any suggestion that he might
take the seat which the Senate
has temporarily denied to his IA
Their.
Pressed for his reaction to the
idea, young Bilbo pointed out
that he was graduated from the
United States Military Academy
at West Point in 1884, and added:
"After thirteen years it looks
like the Army is to be my car
eer."
Young Bilbo said he doubted
that he would get any emergency
leave to be near his father when
the elder Bilbo undergoes in New
Orleans an operation involving a
malignant growth in his cheek.
He declined to commit himself
regarding the elder Bilbo's preach
ments of white supremacy, ex-
cept indirectly with the question:
Don't you know where | come
from ?"
After reflecting moment, he
added:
"Let me point out, however,
that there is no discrimination IN
any of the messes or clubs | oper-
ate here"

Says Bus Co. Has
Right To Enforce
Segregation

Washington, D. c. (NNPA) =
A bus company's right to en-
force it's own rules for the segre-
CATION of passengers was upheld
in the Fairfax (Virginia) Circuit
Court last Thursday. ~
Affirming an earlier decision
of the county's trial justive court,
Judge Paul E. Brown fined Mrs.
Lottie Taylor, New York City, So
and costs on charge of dlsord-
erly conduct arising from her re-
fusal to move to rear seat on
Virginia Stage Lines bus on Sep
TENDER II. The same penalty was
imposed in the previous case.
In denying the woman's appeal,
Judge Brown upheld the prose-
cution's contention that the COM
pany's own regulations providing
for passenger control could be
enforced despite ruling OF the
Supreme Court on June 3, invali-
dating Virginia law requiring seq
regation of passengers on buses
in interstate travel.
According to testimony at the
trial, the defendant refused to
occupy a rear seat at the request
of the driver, James M. Garrett,
when she boarded the bus. in Wash
ington. He obtained a warrant
for her arrest at Fairfax, where
she was removed from the bus by
a county policeman.
The case, was the first OF its
kind Ito be tried in Virginia since
the Supreme Court ruling in June.
James H. Rabey, Alexandria at.
torney who represented Mrs. Tay-
lor in her appeal, indicated he
would appeal the case further.

Lanier Nigh School
Given An "A"
Rating /,

Lanier High School was given
an "a" rating by the Southern
Association of Colleges and Sec
ondary schools at it's December
9th meeting at Memphis, Tenn.
In a release from the princi-
pals office it was shown that
Lanier has students enrolled in
courses in English, Social Science,
Mathematics, Science, Commercial
Work, Trades, Manual Arts, Home
Economics, Music, Consumers Ed
ucation, Physical Education and
Health.
The announcement of the "a"
rating the school had received
was made to the school by Prin-
cipal Sanders at the Assembly
hour when school resumed after
the Christmas Holidays. The
pupils and teachers greeted the
news with a hearty applause. In
making the announcement, : the
Principal reminded his listeners,
in part, that at would be a fatal
mistake should We receive this
news with such contentment with
our present status as to cease to
struggle to go forward" "In
fact" he said, "the "A rating
must be accepted as challenge
by all Of us to do more than we
have ever done before to make
Lanier a better and better school
as the years go by. Naturally"
he continued" We are proud of
the recognition that has come to
our school. We all have need to
feel greatly uplifted and encour-
aged not only because of what
this will mean to our graduates
and students as they go out from
here, but also in a larger sense
should we rejoice because we here
today are witnessing the dawn
of new day in education for the
Negro youth of our state. From
this point on, the number of pub
lie high schools for Negroes in
our state receiving the ga" rat
ing will undoubtedly increase from
yearto year to the great advan-
tage of our group and of our state
as a whole"

Large Amount To
Be Appropriated
Howard University

Washington, d. C. (NNPA) =
The Budget for the Federal Gov
-ernment for the fiscal year be-
ginning July 1, next, which Presi-
dent Truman sent to Congress
last Friday, carries total of
$4,109,650 for Howard University.
This sum is the largest amount
ever recommended to be appropri-
ated to the university. 1t exceeds
by $1,072,253 the estimates sent
to Congress for the current fis-
cal year.
The amount appropriated for
the current fiscal year was ST.
576,450. In addition, enrolment
of veterans in the current school
year in such numbers as to crowd
all facilities to the limit has ne
cessitated a supplemental appro-
priation of $275,364 for the cur
rent year.
Of the 1948 Budget estimates,
the sum of $2,022,080 is recon-
mended to begin the construction
of two new buildings, and the sum
of $227,175 is recommended for
plans and specifications for five
new buildings.
The Budget carries an estimate
of $1,864,40 for salaries and ex-
penses of the university. This
sum represents an increase of
S722,300 over the appropriation
for this purpose for the current
fiscal year.
No provision is made in this
item for any additional personnel.
The item carries the sum of $5,-
153 for a director of publicity for
the university. A like sum was
appropriated for the current fis-
cal year, but the position since it's
creation has not been filled.
Top salaries, which remain
identical with those provided for
the current fiscal year are: DIR.
Mordecai w. Johnson, president,
100000; James M. Nabrit, Jr.,
secretary, $7,125; V. D. Johnston,
treasurer, $3.50; Fred d. Wilkin-
son, registrar, $5,905.
The estimates also provide for
twenty deans and directors at sal
aries totaling $99,598; ninety

Demand Political
Rights For
South Africans

CAPETOWN, South Afri c a
NPA)-The Colored Advisory
Council, which is an official body,
issued a statement last Friday af-
ter two-day session here de-
handing full political rights for
nearly one million colored South
Africans.
The statement urges the need
for creating a better inter-racial
spirit in this country and remov-
ing the stigma which now rests
on our international reputation"
This was the first manifesto
ton by any recognized non-white
organization since the United Ma
tons General Assembly declared
itself against South Africa's rae
ial policies.
On the other hand, the session
of the Advisory Council assert
ed that "non-white unity" against
the present regime remains very
distant threat. The council ex-
pressed opposition to an improve
ment in the status of Indians un-
less colored persons received SIM
liar rights.
The council also protested a.
gainst the tendency to associate
Indians with Europeans in public
buildings and to herd "coloreds'
with natives (Africans).
"Coloreds" are half-castes de-
rived over the centuries from an
admixture of whites, Africans and
imported Malay slaves. They
number nearly one million, COM
pared with 100000 whites, $780,
600 Indians and 100000 Afri-
cans. Ninety per cent of the
"Coloreds" are located in Cape
Providence where they enjoy GER
tain franchise rights.
All members of the Advisory
Council are men of education,
mostly school teachers with uni
versity degrees.

of farm labor brought on by the
migration of the colored man from
the rural areas.
Both schools are in common
agreement, however, that the

that is definitely is increasing the
size of farms throughout the south
