NEGRO SCHOOL GETTING LITTL|
OR NO IMPROVEMENT FROM
MONEY RECENTLY PROVIDED
BY STATE LEGISLATURE
Report Hopelessly Overcrowded
Conditions In Negro Schools In State
Less Than $4,000 Of
Two Million Fund
Spent To Date

JACKSON. MISS. Jan. 80 -
(DSN) - The spending of the two
million dollar fund, recently pro-
vided for the improvement of Negro
school buildings by the State Leg
islature has completely begged
down, and as result, little or no
improvement in Negro school build
ings has been made, with prospects
that the money may soon revert to
the State Treasury, the Jackson
Advocate learned through inform
ed sources last week.
The chief reason for the bog
down in the spending of the money
for the Improvement of Negro
school buildings as provided for by
the State Legislature, is inability,
and in some cases the downright
refusal of some counties to match
the money, as is set forth in the
law.
A good view of the improvements
made as a result of the action of
the state legislature may be seen
in the fact that today less than
$4,000 of the two million dollar
funds has been spent.
Meanwhile Negro citizens in
every section of the state are COM
planning about the deplorably over
crowded condition, and lack of

S5, ,009, 100000 a year. Since the end of World War II, we have been giving Europe that amount of mon- ey or credit Although the British have given up Marshall Plan aid, they are to get military aid, which comes to the same thing. Therefore, our domestic budge5 has to include this amount, come what may.
 CT, General Eisenhower is sent to Europe to asume responsibility, on behalf of the United States, for the success of the North Allan tic Alliance. To implement that, we are asked to create a standing army of 3,5O0,000 Americans and to have a 1951-52 budget of about $100,0c0 0Co,C00. If we agree to MT. Acheson's foreign program, the economy of our people must be ad- justed to the government taking in taxes or bonds about one-third of the national product
 When a man possesses such power his wisdom should be great; his sense of obligation national. MT. Acheson is an advocate rather than philosopher, and his affinities are British rather than American.
