Segregated Schools Do Not
Prepare Negroes or White
For Living in Amity
BY ROBERT DURR

There is much ado today about
equality of opportunity in educa-
ton for all Americas children, es-
pecially in the deep South in So
called separate but equal institu-
tons supported by tax funds.
Much is being said by those OPP
posed to equal educational oppor-
tunity for all Americas children,
and who wear themselves into fits
over the passing Of the era in which
race segregation has and still is
to an alarming degree the domi-
mating and damnable philosophy.
Thank God for a United States
Supreme Court which obviously
realizes that the people of America
and the world can not learn to live
together and completely unless they
are educated together to do just
that, in schools supported by the
taxes of all the people.
Greater than the need for an
open door policy at state tech
nical, agricultural and professional
schools, insofar as Negroes desir-
ing admittance to and training in
these types Of schools, is the need
these schools have for the presence
Of colored students in them.
White and colored people in the
seventeen Southern states and the
District Of Columbia are not being
trained to live together, and serve
and be served equitably in a demo-
cratic society. Hence, insofar as
this vital requirement Of the pres
ent age, both groups, to an over
whelming degree, are dangerous
misfits in all avenues Of life. Both
are more or less afflicted with some
sort Of complex Of superiority, in
feriority, or the insidious disease Of
racialism.
1t is a crime to have a white
child get all his education" in seq
regated schools for whites. The
same holds true Of the colored child
who gets all his education" in seq
regated schools, because if educa-
ton means anything it means prep
aration for complete living.

ity Of treatment. It's hard to find
one brought up in that sort of
environment who can even talk
to white people as people instead
of with some sort of chip-On-the
shoulder, defensive, apologize or
servile manner.
l have yet to see a white person
educated" in a school from which
Negroes were barred who can talk
to an intelligent colored audience
without defeating the purpose of
his message by directing his or her
remarks to an audience which does
not exist except in imagination.
Only those Negroes and whites who
have been educated together can
really achieve the appreciation and
understanding necessary to build
world society in which the lamb and
the lion lie down together.
Admittance Of Negroes to non
segregated graduate schools in the
South now would do no harm in
itself. The best solution for this
whole dilemma is immediate OPEN
ing OF the doors Of such schools to
all. Presence Of Negroes in grad
uate schools would provide an op-
portunity for white students to ac-
quire education for complete living.
This, they are denied today, espe-
cially in the South. and because Of
this the disease of spiritual decay
and moral disintegration is rapidly
facilitating the spread Of atheism
throughout the world.
l am not forgetting that outside
the letter there is little to be found
in schools where all the teachers
have come up in segregated schools.
No teacher can teach that which
he does not know. Few teachers
in the South-white or black-are
capable Of teaching blacks or
whites to live and grow together
under banner Of justice for all.
Therefore, opening the doors Of
all schools to all the people should
be accompanied by adjusting facul-
ties in such a way that those who
are privileged to participate in this
business Of preparing others for
complete living will be folk who
have been educated with people in
schools from which none have been
barred because Of race, creed or
color.
II we are to live together as we
should we have got to be so edu-
Gated This is a common need on
the parts Of whites and blacks alike.

SPOTLIGHT
By LOUIS LAUTIER

Ever since the Civil War the
South has sought to impose its
views regarding colored people upon
the rest Of the nation. At times,
it nearly succeeded.
But the South now, politically, is
beset on all sides and has nowhere
to turn. The message that Presi-
dent Truman sent to the Congress
on February 2 ITO secure fully our
essential human rights" was notice
to the politicians Of the South that
they no longer have standing among
decent men anywhere.
The doctrine Mr.. Truman pro-
claimed in that message is in d.
rect conflict with the southern doc
trine Of states rights. "The Fed
eral Government has a clear duty
TO see that constitutional guaran-
tees Of individual liberties and Of
equal protection under the laws are
not denied or abridged anywhere, "
the President declared.
Lynching, Acknowledgement, race
discrimination and segregation and
all other evils imposed upon colored
people are the concerns Of the
states, southern demagogues have
argued.
II southern politicians don't
like what Mr.. Truman is doing,
they can leave the Democratic
party.
But southern politicians are only
whistling In the dark when they
suggest secession from that party
They have nowhere to 60. They
can't Join Henry Wallace and his
third party movement because Mr.
Wallace and his movement are un.
equivocably committed to the re.
moval Of all these blots from the
american escutcheon.
They cannot go to the Repub-
liean party because its leaders
are trying to do the things Mr..
Truman wants done in this re-
spect.
Mr.. Truman requested anti.
lynching legislation. A Senate Ju
dietary subcommittee is trying t
rush TO the full committee such
a bill. On the very day the Presi
dent was sending his message t.
Congress, Senator Homer Fergu
son, Republican, Of Michigan, wal
telling Senator John c. Stennis
Democrat, Of Mississippi, that HI
would have to file a brief in oppo
sition to the Morse Wagner anti
lynching bill as quickly as possibl,
because the subcommittee was IL
a hurry to act on 1t.
Mr.. Truman asked for fair en-
plOyment practice legislation. The
full Senate Labor and Public
Welfare Committee voted last
Thursday on the Ives bill against
discrimination in employment.
The Chief Executive called fol
legislation to outlaw the poll tai
as a prerequisite to voting in Fed
eral elections. The Bender anti
poll tax bill passed the House las
July and is now pending before tn,

"The legitimate object of govern
ment is to do for the people what
needs to be done, but which they
can not by individual effort, do at
all, or do so we'll, for themselves
There are many such things.

definition of the word LIBERTY

Error in Boil Editorial

Any person carefully reading editorial Senator Ball Offers
Lame Excuse in the Feb edition might have been puzzled by the
second paragraph which read:
His set forth telegram printed on the front page
Of this edition completely variance with his former position
that FEPC WITH enforcement would be OF no
value
The editorial written hurredy and not properly coPyrea
after receipt of Senator Balls wire 1t should have read
that an F.EPC law WITHOUT would
be of no value.
That one little word should have been without
ruined the whole meaning the paragraph and might have confused
readers.

Privileges and Elections subeom-
mittee and its chairman, Senator
William e. Jenner, Republican, Of
Indiana, is getting ready to hold
hearings on this measure.
Republican strategy is to call up
whichever one Of these three bills
has the least resistance and at
tempt to break a southern filibuster
against its consideration and a vote
on the merits. II this strategy
works, it is almost certain that
passage Of the other two bills will
follow.
While Democratic and Republican
party leaders are jockeying for ad-
vantage, the fight to enact these
messages is in the highest tradi-
ton. A Missouri-born President is
urging their enactment. Republican
leadership is committed to their
passage. All three measures have
bipartisan support.
Other pending bills in line with
recommendations of the President
include:
The Powell bill to prohibit race
segregation Of passengers in inter
state commerce, on which the
House Interstate and Foreign Com
merce Committee is ready to hold
hearings at the convenience Of Rep
resentative Adam C. Powell, Demo
crat, Of New York.
The Powell bill TO prohibit race
segregation in the armed forces.
The Dawson and Powell civil
rights bills for the District Of Co
lumbia.
The Celler bill TO extend the
civil rights law so as to impose
penalties upon individuals as well
as conspirators who injure persons
in the exercise Of federally-secured
rights.
The Celler bill to extend the civil
rights law to the right to engage
in any lawful activity and to dis.
criminatory law enforcement. The
law now makes it a federal offenst
to deprive citizens of their civil
rights, under color Of any STATE
law.
