NEW YORK - (ANP) - Negroes
in New York are not pleased with
Josh Whites appearance before tho
Congressional committee last week.
To me, It smacks Of a 'yassuh boss
idea. and I have been a Josh White
admirer for a number Of years, in
fact, ever since Paul Robeson and
Libby Holman showed him to the
front.
Whatever Josh White thinks,
Josh White should say and not try
to cruelty Paul Robson and others.
Josh didn't help himself too mucn
with his testimony. but seized this
opportunity to get some badly need
cd publicity"
While the general attitude is still
against Paul Robeson's opinions and
expressions, recent developments
have pin-pointed lots Of grievances
darker folk have against the "su-
perior race"
have been recent racial outbursts in
the South, in far away South Africa
the most deplorabe situation mag
inabe exists, with the sponsors say
ing they defy the United Nations
ultimatum and resent that organi-
zation's interference.
Like the chastened South Of the
Confederacy, these unenlightened
South Africans say "they can
handle their own affairs and don't
want any outsiders telling how to
operate their country" That sounds
too much like Dixie not to be good
old Dixie.

CITIZENS WANT RIGHT TO VOTE
ON SCHOOL DETERMINATIONS

EDITORS Note: This is the last
in a series of three articles based
upon an opinion poll about the
organization of school districts in
ohio, conducted by the Ohio Cit
liens Commission for the Public
SchooIs.)
Columbus, o., = Citizens of
Ohio want the right to vote on
school district reorganization pro-
posals. A large majority believe
that such proposals should also
receive approval from the Ohio
State Department of Education.
This is reported by the Ohio Cit
liens Commission for the Public
Schools following a poll of citizen
opinion on problems of school dis
trict organization.
A total of II per cent of those
answering the poll and not en-
ployed by the public schools be-
lieve that district reorganization
proposals should be submitted to
a vote of the people for final ap-
proval. BY comparison, 43 per
cent of the school people favored
vote. The rest of the respondents
want district reorganization to be
brought about by direct school
board action.
Almost three-fourths of all
those favoring a popular vote on
reorganization believe that the
original proposal should first be
approved by the State Depart
ment of Education. About 90 per
cent of those desiring school board
action also believe that State De-
partment approval is advisable.
Three other questions dealt
with State financial assistance to
the school district. About So per
cent of those answering the poll
believe that extra payments
should not be made by the State
to districts with fewer than 180
pupils. Almost SO per cent be-
lieve that State aid in the pay
ment of tuition charges should be
discontinued except in special in
dividual cases. Answers to the
last question in the poll revealed
that 81 per cent of the chool
people and SO per cent of the
other citizens polled favor special
State aid for school-building con-
struction.

articles on the Commissions dis
trict reorganization poll. Copies of
