Negro School Plan

Jackson, Miss - Commentator
for the action of Gov. Ben Laney
of Arkansas and educational lea
ders of the state providing ade.
quate educational opportunities
for members of the Negro rave
and at the same time preserving
racial segregation" was made
here last week by the Mississ-
ippi senate. The commentator
was in the form of a resolution,
which the senate unanimously a.
dopted and which also urged 9TH
er southern states to follow the
Arkansas pattern.
1t stated that Arkansas action
clearly demonstrates a desire of
the people Of Arkansas to provide
better educational opportunities
for members of the Negro race,
but at the same time determin-
alton on their part to maintain
the principles of racial segrega-
ton Arkansas plans are to
improve standards of Arkansas
A. NJ. and N. college at Pine
Bluff and to spend $5,S18,277 for
Negro education each year during

approximately twice that spent
during the year ended last June

Citing the recent U. S. Sup
RENE court decision recurring
Oklahoma to admit Negro stud
ents to the state university or

tunity in some other school, the
resolution said:
"It is reasonable to expect that
similar cases affecting every SOU
thern state will be taken to the
supreme court and similar deci-
sions rendered affecting each and
every state. 1t is the sense of
this body that similar action be
taken by Mississippi and other
southern states with the same OBJ
jective in view and that a united
effort should be made by all
southern states"

Senator EastIand
Say Only Question
Is That Negroes
Stay Out Of
Politics

Senator James 0. Eastland,
Mississippi Senior member of the
United States Senate, fresh from
his attack on the United tSates
Supreme Court, which he charged
with not being judicially honest,
during hearings on the anti-lynch
bill in Washington, said here last
Thursday that the Negro must
stay out of politics.
The Seator said that all decent
White people of the south wanted
he Negro to get square deal, and
waned to see him prosper and
thrive and make a good citizen,
but adde, "all We insist on is that
he stay out of politics, because
if allowed to take part, he would
use the power of the ballot to
destroy the structure of our south
ern government.
The only question, the senator
said, is that hes stay out of poll
tics.
Senator Eastland made his state
ment in addressing a joint session
of the Mississippi Legislature now
in session here.
After devoting the first part of
his speech to discussing Russia
and the communist hreat, and the
Marshal plan and Universal mill
tary training both of which he
strongly endorsed, the eSnator
made his remarks concerning the
Negro in politics while discussing
what he called the Anti Southern
Legislation now being sponsored
by the National Democratic party.
Not following Governor Wright
idea of boiling the party as advan-
ced in his inaugural speech, but
while proclaiming party loyalty,
the Senator outlined a plan of unit
on the part of southern states
opposed to such legislation by
which the couth could elect the
president of the United States
and gain control of the Demo
crat party.
