officers" The subcommittee unanimously reported favorably on the
measure and referred it to the Rules Committee of the Senate. The
bill is now on the Senate Calendar for final action.
Both of the legislative processes essential to extending our civil
rights must be given OUR FULL SUPPORT. The accomplishment of
uhese important proposals has been the basis o a long fight both be-
hnd n political scenes and in the open by our many militant or.
CARNATIONS and co-sponsors in other groups. We an i'll afford to sit
quietly and allow this battle to end without victory to us We may
ask ourselves this question: WHAT CAN DO TO HELP PASS THIS
PROGRAM? Well, all that is necessary is for you to write your
Senator, Representative and friends in Congress, REGARDLESS TO
PARTY CONNECTIONS and URGE THEM to support the expanhion
of social security benefits and the ending of the obnoxious Poll Tax
1t is needless to remind you that the poll tax was designed to
make more difficult the constitutional opportunity of Negro citizens
polls because of their LOW INCOME STATUS and they could not
spare the tax in spite of their burning desire to vote and participate
in the affairs of their government. The tax enabled haters of Civil
Liberties for Negroes to remain in office. Moreover, the sponsors of
the tax well knew that the unfair issues inherent in tn tax created
a political division Of the areas in which the tax is levied. We say
political division because THE FULL AND COMPLETE BODY POLL
TIC COULD NOT HAVE FREE EXPRESSION.
As to the extension of social security benefits, we should all well

When Inequalities Masquerade
Under Another Name

0y SAMUEL S. TAYLOR, Associate Editor
Whether or not the Negro is "just as pleased with segrega-
ton as the whites are" there are some things with which Ne
groes are not pleased.
Negroes do not like to crowd and iosue white people to
get to the rear of the bus. Negroes do not like to be forced to
live on unpaved streets; ther are streets in Little Rock where a
Negro residence stands next to a white residence and paving
ends between the two. Negroes do not like to attend a high
school built for 1000 pupils but accommodating 2000. Negroes
wonder why with three white junior high school principals, one
Enior high principal, one junior college dean, an a veterans
school head, all Of these functions should be concentrated in
chr Negro with a salary just about adequate for one. Negroes
still wonder why the workers in the Employment office are not
segregated.
A Sunday ago on a Missouri Pacific Bus bound from Pine
huff to Little Rock, a white man stood next to the standing
NeEro group. No other whites were standing. When the writer
rot on the car. It was necessary to have this passenger move,
forward a little so that the writer might stand with the colored
group. A few others came in repeating the writer's technique.
Finally a young colored woman got in, and not caring either to
shove the white passenger or ask him to move, she stood in
front of him. We must admit that everything went all right.
A few minutes later, a Negro man anne in and stood IN
front of the woman. Something about the mans appearance
and manner evidently displeased the operator, for he ordered
him to get back. When the Negro pointed out that there was
no room, the operator with a rough voice and a threatening
manner ordered him again to get back. The Negro fearing vo-
hence, stepped back past the woman and past the white man.
The operator displayed no further interest in the matter. While
we appreciated his saying nothing to the woman, we could not
for the life of us, understand why he did not order the white
man to move forward if he really wanted to separate the races,
and not just bully the Negro.
It is inequalities masquerading under the name OF segre-
ton which have brought about the current agitation.

What Prevents + ederal Aid
To Education Here
" Samuel S. TAYLOR, Associate Editor

For states like Arkansas, rich in children but poor in
material wealth, federal aid in education is the only chance to
offer the same educational opportunities given by other states.
This is a magnificent statement by one of Arkansas leading
educators.
The one thing which has kept Federal Aid to Education a
~ from Arkansas is the unwillingness Of the states OF our
fair section to permit such aid to be equnably divided among
whites and Negroes. 1t is a violation of state rights, we hear,
to permit Federal Aid to Education to go equally to whites ana
blacks. i.
In fact we believe that the educators statement could well
be paraphrased thus: State acceptance of Federal Aid to Edu-
cation for white and black alike is the only chance of states
like Arkansas to offer the same educational opportunities to
its citizens as are offered by other states.
