Social Work, Mr.. Young cited in
cidents supporting the belief that
the Negroes fight for equality is
being won, and that Jim CTowism
and segregation are now on the
defensive.
The trip down began these Inn
pressIOns, says Mr.. Young. He
Travelled by Delta AirIines, out
Chicago, which, for the paTticu-
lar flight was servIced by South
erners.
Everyone was very courteous.
There were only four on the plane,
and we all were treated in the
incest manner" said Mr.. Young.
But when / got off the plane
in Atlanta that helpless feeling
returned you know, that mo
mentary feeling that the whole
problem is so much bigger than
you.
Then | saw something that
had never seen at any other air
port There were four telephone
booths. On them were the signs,
FOR WHITE MEN FOR WHITE
WOMEN FOR COLORED MEN.
FOR COLORED WOMEN
AS I stood there looking, a col
ored porter came up to me and
mumbled I'll call you colOred
cab Realizing that the cab would
cost several dollars, whereas the
airlines furnished a limousine for
much less, / thanked him and in
sisted that I would try the limou-
sine
Il walked up to the limousine
and handed the driver my bag. He
took II with no argument, and l
rode into town with the rest OF the
passengers
Il then got the impression that
the porter was helping to main
tain segregation, perhaps only for
the cut he could get out OF cab
fare"
Nj Young explained that the
second heartening incident con-
cerned the presidential campaign.
There was a third party rally in
Atlanta at the time he was there.
Although Mr.. Young wasn't at
the rally, he reports that whites
as well as Negroes had become in
terested in civil rights as never
before.
1T was interesting, he said. TO
see those students from white
southern schools come out TO where
we were in session and talk over
the nations problems. They came
without the patronizing or work
ing for you people attitude. They
didn't just discuss race relations
with Negroes, but all the problems
now facing America"
During this week 1t was announ-
ced that a Negro would run for
the Senate for the first time since
Reconstruction in Georgia; a white
quit his church because
the body would not admit a Negro,
and his resignation was accepted
by a vote of only 80 to 81; Negroes

He is a fast good runner and bats

Mel Jones, manager OF thd Saints

at retrieving pop fouls.
He entered recognized organized
baseball in 1916 when he caught
for Nashua, a Brooklyn farm club

In 1947 he played with the In
