the opinion Of his organization,
the Regional Education Plan pro-
posed by southern Governors did
not meet the U. S. Supreme Court
decisions.
Thurmond submitted this week
to the General Assembly ten
tative" compact entered into by
Southern Governors. This Com
pact called for regional operation
of the Meharry Medical College
for Negroes at Nashville, Tenn.
Hinton's letter commended that, I'M
der Supreme Court decisions,
states must provide equal educa-
tional facilities for both whites
and Negroes within their borders.
The South Carolina State Con-
ference of NAACP takes notice of
the regional plan as submitted by
you, Hinton wrote the governor
and at the same time serves no.
tice, if and when adopted by the
General Assembly of South Car
DINA, will contest this set-up and
plan, to determine the legality of
out-of-state educational facilities
for Negroes.

The Souths Heavy Lost
The South's heavy lost does not
rest solely in the large munger of
its colored citizens who left its
borders, but it has been impover-
ished, set back, perhaps for two
decades, agriculturally and indus
trially, which implies also a heavy
economic loss to the country in
general. All sections have lost on
this score because there are Sec
tons that depend solely on the
products produced in the South.
If each of these persons who left
the South in persuit of happiness,
security, better educational facll-
tiles was worth just ten dollars
per year, then the loss would give
us this estimate, 100000 Zap
proximately), however, we know
that staggering sum does not even
approach the loss sustained.
Tax Assessed Institutions:
The colored man in the u. S. A.
is entitled to and is seeking equal
opportunities and equal entrance
in all government taxed institu-
tons. Why not? What reason have
you to offer why he should not?
Is he not man. a citizen, con-
tributor? He is part of the A.
merican population. 1t is not eli
matte conditions that the Negro
seeks un going north, east nor
West its not that he seeks a cold
or or hotter climate, neither is it
social equality that political dema-
gogues have strivcn to make the
American public believe. Here is
why he left, equal opportunity
for parks, city recreational CEN
tiers. equal opportunity at the bal
lot box equal opportunity TO ele-
ct all officers who must serve the
public, whether they are Munich

and a privilege to purchase as
much for his American dollars as
any other American citizen. An
equal chance in the race of life
for a livelihood for his loved ones.
Lastly an opportunity for acquir-
ing an education, the type of
which shall fit him for any and
