Canton, Miss, March %, (DNS)
Tine first move by Negro citi-
zens of Mississippi to obtain equal
educational facilities for their
children by taking their case to
the courts was seen here Satur-
day in the action of nine Negro
citizens of Madison County, resi-
dents of the Farmhaven Consol-
idated School District who submit
ted petition to G. R. Bennett,
Madison County Superintendent of
Education and other county educa-
ton officials asking for Negro
educational opportunities equal to
those afforded the white children
of the District.
The petition which points out
pronounced inequalities of educa-
tional opportunities between white
and negro children Of the district
list a table on length of school
term, equipment, buildings, cours-
es of study and transportation.
The table follows: Length of the
school term: white, eight months;
colored, six months. Equipment,
white, meager; colored, none.
Course of study: White, grades
one through II; colored, one thru
eoght. Transportation: white, pro-
vided free; colored none.
The petition states further there
also exists a "wide difference in
total investment of facilities and
buildings, and equipment, and in
the quality Of instruction, result
ing from differences made in the
qualifications of teachers"
Immediate action on the petition
was called for by the petitioners
who are John Brown, Willie S.
Ware, James Harris, Jr., Marshall
Brown, John Mark, o. S. Bron-
son, Coleman Garrett, w. E. Gar
rett and John Wright.
In answering the petition the
County Superintendent of Educa-
ton admitted that Negro children
had to pay for school bus trans
portation which white children
get free.
Negro citizens scoffed at the
claim that they had been offered
a seven months school term and
the statement that "most of them
don't want it and won't send their
children to school for more than
six months
The Farmhaven Consolidated
School District, where all the pro-
perty is owned by Negroes is a
special Negro school district with
a tax levy for Negro schools. AL
though the special tax has been
collected for years, the Negro
schools in the district are among
the worst in the state.
The action of the Madison Coun-
tv Negro citizens followed close
ly that of Mrs. Gladys Noel Bates
of Jackson, who a few days ago
filed suit in the Federal Court
for equalization of teachers sal
aries. The petition was filed by
Atty J. A. Burns of Meridian,

World.
Speaking before the Conference
Saturday, Atty Arthur Shores as
serted that Negro citizens of the
South would not be satisfied with
Regional schools as proposed by
the Southern Governors, that the
NAACP will not accept the es-
of such schools, and
called upon the Branches Of the
South Eastern Region to continue
their effort until equality of ed
cational opportunity in the South
is more than a legal fiction.

ding, Walter White, Executive
Secretary of the Association, as
principal speaker halted by round

What was perhaps one of the
greatest speeches of his distin-

even larger church. He worked eff
fectively ad satisfactorily with
trustees i every administrative
role he filled as pastor.

 ROUNDUP
lBY HUGH FULLERTON

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-lB-When first-rate track star comes into California, that's news. You've heard of plenty coming out of the Golden State. Now Brutus Hamilton, U of California track coach, admits that his prospects in the mile and two mile run wouldn't be bright this year if a fellow named Kaare Vef- ling hadn't turned up from Norway. Yelling, who neyer has had any for mal coaching, can run 1500 meters in 3:53-roughly equivalent to a 4:10 mtle-and is strong enough to run two miles the same afternoon.
 Frank Ksaney, Rhode Island State Basketball Coach, bemoans the ten- dsncy of some teams to hang onto the hall and refuse to shoot until they have "cripples." Keaney, who gees for bigger and better scores argues: There's nothing wrong with the rules or the officials if the coach es will give 'em a good lively game,

Art recalled that the writers had merely guessed. at the distance of four in- ches. Sure enough, Charley Brock, who centered the ball on that play, said that wes nearer two inches than four from the goal line. Curly Lamteau was about the same dis tance from a collapse when Isbell made that pass.
