Presidents Civil Rights Program Seen
As Result Of Failure To Recognize
Honest Southern Negro Leaders
OF Race
Say Negro Seeking Right TO Sober And
Honest Exercise Of the Right to
Vote In The State

A poll of opinion conducted by
the Jackson Advocate following
the action of the National Com
mittee of the Democratic Party i'm
Washington last week when the
State Committee headed by j. c.
Hood of Meridian and Mrs. John
Clark of Dekolb which supported
President Truman in the last cleo
ton was recognized as the re-
personalities of the National Dem
ocratic Party in the state, found
responsible Negro citizens through
out the state expressing the hope
that the action Of the National
Committee will man that Negro
citizens will have full and unres-
tricted right to pay their poll tax,
register and vote in the state; and
that the action will mean the early
elimination of the Negro Issue"
fromm Mississippi politics.
In commenting on the action of
the National Committee. and sup

state, Percy Greene, Editor and

rector of the Mississippi State
Democratic Association, the re-
Gently organized and rapidly grow
ing organization of Negro citizens
whose members are pledged to
support the Democratic Party and
its candidates il State and Nation
al elections said that the issue
of Civil Rights which brought
about the Dixiecrat and Pro-Tru-
man groups in the state and final
~ lead to the action of the
National Committee last week held
only the passing interest of the
Negro citizens of Mississippi.
The Civil Rights program, he
said, was created by the Northern
Negro leaders who become the
spokeman for the Negros Of the
country although the vast ma
jority Negroes live in the South
and this is true he said only
because Mississippi and other
states of the South have refused
to hear and recognize the South
ern Negro Leader as spokesman
for the race, except those who
sought to accommodate the status
quo and deny the real yearnng
and desire of the Southern Negro
for the full rights, responsibilities,
and benefits of citizenship.

Fisk University Dean Hits Views On
South In Article By Northern
White Students
Says Every Negro Worth His Salt
Would Welcome End OF
Segregation
Thinks Northern Boys Taken ror
Ride

Nashville, Tenn. = (ANP) =
w. j. Faulkner, dean of the chap
ell of Fisk university is justly
hot under the collar about a re-
port made by four white students
from Andover, Miss, which said
southern Negroes themselves
would not welcome abolition OF
racial segregation and are happy
under it,.
This report, published by the
New York Herald Tribune on
Aug. 6, was entitled -Four Stud
ents Discover the South.
Faulkner, in his letter to the
paper on Aug. 3, declared: "They
were certainly naive. Having liv-
ed and worked in the region for
more than so years, l have yet
to find one Negro worth his salt
who would not rejoice tomorrow
if every form of racial segrega-
ton were wiped out by law! And
thousands of them are working
their hearts out to accomplish
just that.
He asked several questions,
aimed at proving the studnts
views were onesided. They were:
rs not the background of the
four students southern?
Weren't they guided or subtly
coached by the right people in
their Negro-white contacts?
WAS it impossible for them to
interview any of the Negro stud
ents who hated segregation Sc
bitterly that they cimpelled, by
court action, state university au,
thorities in Oklahoma, Arkansas,
Kentucky and West Virginia to
admit them as graduate stud
ents?
Did not the students meet
any militant Negroes and white
liberals who are constantly pro-
testing the evils of racial dis
elimination in education, housing
sanitation, employment, hospitali-
cation transportation, voting. etc
Faulkner, then said: Since the
students apparently missed these
contacts, I would suggest that
next year they dare a real ex'
pertinent to find out how the
southern Negro lives, thinks and
plans under Jim crown laws. Let
them darken their faces two
shades of brown and travel for

Michael has been waging what

battle for his life since he was
taken to Casualty Hospital with
burns that covered 10 per cent of
his body.
Also at Casualty Hospital is

Two Courses Open
To Fay in Probe Of,
Hackers Beatinq

The failure of the Police De-
partment to find the guilty per-
sons in the Rowell beating case
has left the United States attor-
ney's Office with the alternatives
of starting a grand jury investiga-
ton from scratch or getting FBI
aid, observers noted today.
A long, detailed report on the
mysterious beating of Cab Driver
James Rowell was sent to United
States Attorney George Morris
Fay by Police Supt. Robert J. Bar
rett yesterday.
No comment on the outcome
of the police investigation was
made public, but 1t was pointed
out the police would have asked
for warrants and made arrests
if they had found conclusive evil
dence of the identity of Mr.
RoWell's assailants.
Maj. Barrett said several weeks
ago he had ordered the reas-
signment of two plainclothesmen
because of reports of the beating
Apparently, the police nvestiga-
ton did not result in an adverse
report concerning these two police
men since they have not been
suspended.
Observers recalled that the two
methods of investigation now
open to Mr.. Fay have been used
in the past, where a police in
vestigation failed to provide any
thing conclusive.
In the Rowell case, the Justice
Department has announced it has
under consideration the question
of civil rights violation.
Should the Justice Department
pursue the case, it was pointed
out, the FBI would come in to
make the investigation.
Mr.. RoWell himself has insisted
he does not know the identity of
his assailants. He has said he
thought they came from out-of :
town and were not policemen.
