Atlanta Teachers
Suit Heads To
Supreme Court

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. tat
lanta public school teachers will
appeal their suit for equal salaries
to the United States Supreme
Court within 90 days, Attorney A.
T. Walden declared here Saturday.
Walden made the announcement
after the U. S. Circuit Court of
Appeals in New Orleans last week
denied a petition for rehearing the
case of Samuel L. Davis, Booker
Washington High instructor,
against the Atlanta Board of Edu-
cation.
On last December %, the Court
of Appeals had ruled against Da-
Wis and all Negro teachers SIM
ilarly situated, ordering that they
carry their grievances to the State
Board Of Education before the case
is retired in district court.
The petition for rehearing served
only to have the appellate court
repeat its original order, legal
observers said, and is the usual
course followed before an appeal
is made to the u. S. Supreme
Court.

NOTED SOUTHERN AUTHOR SAYS
SEPARATE BUT EQUAL IS THE
MOST FANTASTIC MESS
EVER CONCEIVED BY MAN

e ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. LILLIAN
Smith, courageous Southern au-
thor and novelist, said here last
week that the phrase separate
but equal is the most fantastic
mess" ever conceived by man.
The author of the recent best
seller, killers of the Dream"
spoke to an overflow audience in
the main exhibition room of the
Atlanta university library.
Hammering away at her basis
theme that segregation is essen
TALLY bad, Miss Smith declared
that she didn't think a democratic
person" could believe in segrega-
ton.
Miss Smith quietly and presist-
emily punched gaping holes in the
Southern separate but equal
theory. Said she:
"If you are going to segregate
Negroes in the South, we should
not educate them. If you educate
a man and segregate him, you
cruelty him."
Declaring that the racial prob
lem is problem of the white
group, and not of the Negro peo-
pie" she queried: What is it about
US that has made us so blind, and
so uncaring ?" She added, however:
II think, though it is a matter
of concern to young people today"
Many of these people, she said,
write her every day, expressing
distaste for the Southern system
and asking anxiously: Its going,
isn't it?
Miss Smith said that the issue
today is between "those people
who believe in human dignity, ac-
ceptance and one world, and those
who say keep things as they are.
Let's do for minority people within
VIZ IL oAiCN VI VI liG southern DaL-
tern"
"The only people we have to
fight today, she said, are those
people who say the South must be
changed within the pattern, which
means with segregation"
Turning to her latest book "Kill-
ers of the Dream" the fortnight
Southern liberal said she wrote the
book to help explain the deeply felt
reasons which cause Southerners
to go to pieces when they hear the
word segregation.
DR.. Rufus Clement, president of
Atlanta University, introduced
Miss Smith, calling her "the wom-
an with the conscience of the South
and OF fine people everywhere in
the world"

Mound Bayou
Donates $500
To Harris Fund

MOUND BAYOU, Miss, Feb.
10 Citizens of Mound Bayou
last week contributed 5000 to the
Thomas Harris Welfare fund. This
fund is being collected in Kosicusko
for the Harris family which had
three children shot down by white
convicts recently.
The three men are in custody of
police and are slated to be tried for
the murders.
Postmaster C. V. Thurmond of
Mound Bayou presented the money
to the fund. He said:
while we deeply deplore this
brutal crime which made it neces-
sary to seek public aid for this
family, Negroes at Mound Bayou
have feeling that the judicial sys-
tenn will see to it that the ends of
justice are served, and all of us
can have a feeling of security in
our homes.
1--WE especially want to commend
Gov. Fielding Wright and the state
legislature for their unbiased and
uncompromising statements re-
garding this crime"

under the titles, "What will we

the USDA production and market
ing administration, Little Rock,

achievements on the part of Mis-
sissippi Negro Farmers in the
year 1949.
Woodie E. Gholstin, a Negro
war veteran and farmer, owner
Of a 79-acre farm near Hamilton,
Monroe County, Miss, produced
205 bushels of corn on one acre
of his farmland in 1949. This is
said to be the highest yield of
corn on one acre farmland pro-
duced by any farmer.
How did he do it? Mr.. Ghol-
stin says that he used 800 pounds
SOB, 800 pounds ammonium nj
trate and 200 pounds nitrate soda.

He said instruction will be given
in all phases of baseball lore at
a new Negro park to seat 1000
which now is being built by DR..
Noble R. Frisky, a Greenville ply
stefan.
Students are expected to be
drawn from such widely-scattered
places, he said, as Memphis, Little
Rock, Greenwood, Clarksdale, New
Orleans, Houston, Dallas and Ok
lahoma City.
Located right in the heart of
the rich cotton growing Missis-
sippi Delta, the schools leaders
said they hoped to find and de-
velop country boys with talent.
These would be put in touch with
white organized baseball clubs, as
well as with Negro teams. Other
hopefuls are Satchell Paige of the
Cleveland Indians average a re-
ported S36,UUU year Tor ~ years

Small Tuition Fee
There will be a very small tut
ton fee, with the students paying
their own living and housing ex-
penses. They will bring their own
uniforms and necessary equipment
like gloves and masks.
Curry, who managed Negro clubs
in Philadelphia, Oklahoma City
and Atlanta and handled such
players as the Brooklyn Dodgers
Catcher Roy Campanella, said the
school will continue for about two
weeks.
After that, the most promising
players will be divided into teams
and offered a chance to take part
in a transforming tour before the
start of the regular season.

Some CT Training

WASHINGTON - Veterans adj
ministrator Carl R. Gray, Jr., says
get-rich-quick operators are ex-
plotting the veterans education pro-
gram for "huge sums" of money
without giving "honest value" in
return.
In many cases, the veterans adj
ministration is powerless to do
anything about it, Gray said in a
report to the senate labor and the
house veterans affairs committees.
''There is no doubt" Gray said,
shat veterans education has been
an extremely lucrative and profit
table enterprise for certain types
of businessmen.
g. The government is spend
ing huge sums of money for the
education and training of veterans
for which honest value is not be-
ing received"
The government already has
spent $4,000, 100000 OBJ for vet
erans' education an amount only
a little less than Congress has ap-
propriated for Marshall Plan Aid.
Before the program ends in 1856,
the cost is likely to rise to $685.

Gray's criticism was aimed pri-

previous educational training, who
have opened vocational or trade
schools since the war to capture the
veterans business.
