Springs New Area newspaper an
editorial titled The Segregation
Bogeyman". The author of the
editorial dealt In southern fash
taken by the Committee on Civil
Rights which recently submitted
to President Truman a report
calling for the end of segregation
against the Negroes. The author
criticized the Chairman of the
Committee and pointed out that
the North has played a leading
role in laying the foundation for
segregation. He extolled the south
on the other hand for the part il
has played in promoting freedom
and registered his fears against
