SOutherners Call
Meeting to Keep
Jim Crow

BIRMINGHAM. Ala.-(ATLAS)
Aroused over the Supreme court
ruling against racial segregation
recently, Dixiecrat Tom Abernethy
of Talladega, has called meeting
to find ways and means to preserve
the "old South"
Abernethy who is States Rights
chairman of Alabama, got busy and
called the meeting after the Su-
preme Court ordered the Univer-
sity of Texas to admit Negro
student to its white law school,
and outlawed segregation on rail-
road dining cars and at the Univer-
sity of Oklahoma.
In line with the plan adopted at
national states right meeting in
Jackson, Miss, Abernethy plans to
set up permanent states rights or
CARNATIONS in each of Alabama's
81 counties to help in the preserva-
ton of Southern Civilization
campaign. Such a plan intimated
the Talladega editor will afford all
good southerners to fight with
tooth and nail, the invasion of
Northern Liberalism" into the

innocent Negroes
Facing Death In
Eight u. S. States

New York, N. Twenty eight
innocent Negro men and boys in
eight u. S. states are now facing
death as result of jimcrow
frame-ups, the Civil Rights Con-
gress has reported.
They include "known cases" only
and range from frame-ups which
have recently led to guilty YER
diets to those where the Negro
victims face electrocution within
forty-five days, William L. Patter-
son, CRC Executive Secretary, de-
clared. Mr.. Patterson stated, 1--WE
do not consider these cases as
simple miscarriages of justice.
They are a result of an official
policy of government in all sec
tions of the United States, in
which jimcrow is being enforced
through frame-ups against inno-
cent Negro citizens"
He added, "All statements by
coldwar apologists to the contrary,
terror against the Negro people
in the United States continues to
increase"
The list of twenty-eight men
and boys who face death as a
result of frame-ups follows:
James NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Daniels Cousins - North Caro-
lima.
HARNESS Flowers-M Mississippi.
The Groveland Three Samuel
Sheperd, Walter Irwin and Charles
Greenlee)-Florida.

Police Bans
Lost Boundaries"
In Alabama Town

BESSEMER, Ala.-(ATLAS)-
Police chief, Lacy Alexander BAN
ned the showing of the anti-segre-
cation film, Lost Boundaries" at
the Lincoln Theatre here which
had been booked for an early June
showing.
When ask why the tolerance film
was banned from an all-Negro
Theatre, Chief Alexander replied
crisply, "We didn't want it shown
in Bessemer. eve didn't like the
looks of it."
Although "Lost Boundaries had
been banned in all the 20 munich
palities in Jefferson county, many
thought since Bessemer was an in
dustrial center, and the Clio con-
trolls one of the most powerful un-
ions in the United States there,
pressure could be brought to bear
on the Police censorship. The films
hasn't shown in Birmingham be-
cause of Jim Grow censorship,
though it has been shown in several
other cities in Alabama without
any adverse reaction.

Medical Schools Chided

Oscar R. Ewing Federal Security Administrator
speaking at the dedication exercise of Brooklyn hospi
al Sunday, had some interesting observations to make
concerning the governments National Health Insurance
plan, and by way of reference struck strong note
against the Medical schools and colleges for their blind
stupidity in maintaining racial quotas for Negroes and
Jews.
He conceded that there may be better way of sov-
ing the nations health problem than through the Tru-
mans administration plan. Il would gladly give up the
proposal for national health insurance and President
Truman would gladly give it up--f one would
come along with better way to do the job Until he
along however, going to stand by the best
plan have" Mr.. Ewing advised
Medical schools, of course will not deny the obvious
fact of discrimination against Negroes and Jews in
their admission policies and practices 1t is time that
these practices be discontinued the interest of the adj
of science and the promotion of good health
for the nation Most medical schools practice dscrmi
nation in questions they ask applicants the admission
blanks. And in large sense there is close connection
between this discrimination and the national doctor
shortage which forces form of Health Insurance
for the average, ordinary working and woman with
low incomes.

State First Negro Agent Enters
Well-Earned Retirement

(From The Daily CariOnLedger, Jackson, Mississipp)
Mississippi loses through retirement another valued
and respected worker of whom many of readers
probably heard-Alce Carter Oliver.
She was the first Negro Home Demonstration Agent
appointed in Mississippi and has been district agent in
charge of Negro Home Demonstration work in Missis-
sppi since 1917.
Under her leadership, the number of counties
poyng fulltime Negro Home Demonstration Agents has
been increased to 54
1t would have been good thing for the State, and
would have rejoced her heart, had at least 20 more
counties employed such full time Negro Home Demon
sraon Agents by the time i'll health forced her retire
ment this year.
At least that many counties probably will
eventually employ such agents. and those the jobs prob
ably will have benefited from training by Alice Carter
Oliver.
1t is pleasure to note the scope and value of her
work. and duration of her service to the State and to
wish her health and happiness in we-earned retire
ment.

were reversed after the interven-
tion of CRC. The third was up
