And Why Not Jackson

Over in Taadega, Alabama the other day arrange
ments were made for the employment of Negro Police
men, subject which always comment here and
there.
Referring to the Talladega action read these
lines in the Birmingham News, leading daily of Brm
ingham, Alabama principle city of the state and
of the souths greatest industrial centers Said the
news: Talladega has gone ahead of Birmingham in
poyng Negroes on its police force That city has autho
rzed of Negro officers for weekends in Negro dis
trcts The announcement accompanied with state
ment that other cities of the South, we'll of the
North, have achieved excellent results with Negro
police.
Montgomery is also considering the matter A poll
taken by The Montgomery Examiner indicates heavy
majority of Montgomery citizens favor Negro police in
Negro districts.
Probably like majority of Birmingham citizens
would approve the innovation here Many large Southern
cities have found it helpful. Why not Birmingham?
To which we add AND WHY NOT JACKSON?

Doctor Haynes
Appointed Head
OF Washington
Negro Schools

WASHINGTON, D. G. = Oct
= The Board of Education last
week appointed DIR. Harold A
Haynes to fill the post of assist
ant superintendent in charge OF
the city's Negro schools left va
cant during the summer by the
retirement of DR.. Garnet C. Will
kinson.
Francis A. Gregory, principal
of Armstrong High School, and
a top contender for the vacant
post, was named to the newly
created position of associate su-
perintendent.
The board created the new po-
sition of associate superintendent
in charge of colored junior and
vocational high schools, in order
to equalize the administrative set
up of the white and Negro
schools.
Previously there were three as
soc1ate superlntendents in the
white schools and only two in the
colored.
The appointment of DIR. Haynes
brings to an end much heated
speculation on who was to be the
successor to DR.. Wilkinson.
Originally Hobart M. Corning,
School, superintendent, had pro-
posed Gregory as DR.. Wilkinson's
successor. However, last week he
recommended the 62-year-old DIR.
Haynes for the top post.
The Personnel Committee, head
ed by Adelbert w. Lee, unanimous
ly supported his recommendation
and the board approved with one
member refraining from voting.
Mrs. James M. Williams, Negro
member, did not make clear why
she did not vote, but said it was
not to be interpreted as a reflec-
ton on DR.. Haynes.

Mississippi Congress of Parents

program of the Citizens Council
on Education. He said that he
has submitted a budget to the

for $34,000,000. annually to be
spent on the schools of the state.
j. A. Travis, assistant secretary
of the MEA, explained that the
program was predicted on equal

system. This will cost ultimately
from 80 to 100 million dollars, he

Urges New Park

WINSTON-S SALEM, Oct. TT
recommendations by Mayor Mar
shall Kurfees materialize, Winston
Salem soon may have their first
real park.
The plan calls for the conversion
of a 430-acre tract of land between
Highway 81 and 1853 surrounding
the old Winston Lake as the site
of the park.
The City Council Planning Board
recommended several months ago
that the lake and water shed be
made into Negro park.
Mayor Krufees said it is per-
feet location for a colored park, for
it is an area in which the Negro
population is rapidly expanding.
The lake is within a very short
distance of the new Carver High
School and is almost in sight. of
a residential area of new Negro
homes being built near the school.
This property offers so many
potentialities for a park" said the
mayor, 'that it would be a shame
not to develop it as soon as pos
soble."
The site could accommodate a
swimming pool, ball diamond,
drive-in-theatre, golf course, picnic
grounds, and skating rink.
Winston Salem Negroes have ac-
cess to several Fairgrounds and
small recreation centers, but this
would give them their first park.

RICKEY, ROBINSON-RACE
RELATIONS REALISTS

Washington, D. eff history re-
ports basebalrs story fairly, it will
have to admit that man named
Branch Hickey, and man named
Jackie Robinson, used the great
games front office and diamond
to promote mid-20th century's big
gest gain in American race rela-
tons.
To build this story, [ want to
go back to February, 1850, yet
the real story had it's beginning
at least three, five or seven years
before. 1t was a Sunday afternoon
in Atlantic City, and Hickey had
just been introduced as the Vespers
speaker for the American Associa-
ton of School Administrators.
Now that was queer spot for
baseball club president. And
Brooklyn's headman admitted as
much as he looked out upon the
sort of capacity crowd any club
owner would like to see in his park,
any day. He got Immediately to the
point, calling it, "a Losing Play"
A baseballman, he talked about his
first love.
g. 1t never at any time occur
red to me that | shouldn't hire a
Negro to play game of baseball"
prefaced Hickey in the portion of
his talk that led him to review his
plight caused by the hiring of
Jackie Robinson. at did occur to
me that | wanted to win pennant.
81 took this position while flying
thousands of feet above the earth
| looked down on this twenty
/ four-hour world circuit What
are those little sects | see down
there | asked one of my scouts.
We looked through the glasses and
someone said, Those are human
beings"
! Then the headman of the Dodg-
ers announced: 81 want to win a
pennant in Brooklyn. | want to
beat the Cubs. | want to find the
nine best human beings that can
play this game, who can throw and
hit with great skill and beautiful
grace, who can run. Find them for
me-"
At another point, Hickey noted
that he had "long since come to
believe that the American public
is more interested in the grace of
the swing, in the dexterity of the
slide, in the speed of the legs, in
the pleasing skill of some great
performers in comparative sports
than in the last syllable of a name
or the augmentation of the skin"
Hickey admitted his apprehen-
sions to the task of finding a man
who could meet his demands as
listed above and at the same time
be person who would "be a philo-
sopher in the field of turning the
other cheek. He must carry the
badge of martyndom continuously.
He had to take it presistently and
continuously" Jackie Robinson was
the reference.
Now the story is an old one.
Branch Hickey started this new
experience in race relationship
other man, Jackie Robinson, proved
it would work. The definite is,
without these two the course of
events, though Negroes might by
now be in the Majors, would not
be the same.
Both Hickey and Robinson took
realist's attitude. Results: GOOD.
