Williams Demands
Abolition Of Army
Race Policy

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Jan. "a
The Youthful Mississippi Con-
gressman John Bell Williams. a
veteran of World War II who has
surprised many observers here with
his bitter attacks on Negro and
other minority groups, demanded
in the House Monday the Abolition
of what he called the "disgraceful
and ill-conceived order" wiping out
segregation in the armed forces.
''If we are at war-and there is
every indication that we are-the
time has come when politics as
usual should be recognized for what
it is, and abandoned in the in
terest of our national security"
said Rep. Williams. The disgrace
full and ill-conceived order abolish
ing segregation in our armed forces
should be Immediately revoked. It
was born Of politics, and was op-
posed publicly before congressional
committees by military men of no
less stature than Generals Eisen-
hover and Bradley. There is no
doubt but that this order has con-
tributed materially to lowering
morale in our armed services. l be-
lieve that our Negroes generally
resent the order, and prefer to
serve in units of their own race.
Gambling with our security for
political stakes should immediate
ly cease, and this shamful order
should be rescinded.

Negro Teachers Aid To White Bow

Sixty-one rural communities in
South Carolina and Alabama have
built libraries for Negroes, as a
result of a Negro school teachers
aid to white boy years ago. The
story is told in a February Read
er's Digest article condensed from
The American Magazine.
Willie Lee Burlington, the white
boy, now a professor at Paine Col
lege, Augusta, Ca, had little in
his youth in Saluda, S. c., except
a goal and a friend. The goal
was education; the friend was
Fury w. Simpkins, Negro teach
er, who encouraged Willie and
even helped him financially.
Later, Simpkins got a new
school building and found him
self without books. Willie, with
one thin dime and lot Of faith"
decided to help. He bought five

two-cent stamps and wrote to five
ministers asking each to send him
one book. Four didn't reply; the
fifth sent Willie 1000 books, and
Simpkins loaded his shelves. There
was an overflow, and neighbors in
Saluda volunteered to build a
small library. From that Begin
ming the 81 rural libraries for
Negroes have been built, and Will
lie has stacked each with at least
1000 books.
The libraries have been financed
by selling homegrown lumber and
produce, my missionary donations,
Board of Education grants, rattle
sales and individual contributions.
Every day Willie receives hum
dreds of books, the article says,
from church and civic groups,
colleges, women's clubs and indi-

of speculation as to whether he
was going back on the Democratic
platform, and he wanted to get it
straight. He then read the follow

Lets get that straight. This
Administration has no intention to
abandon any of its principles or
programs. We stand behind the

form as much today as ever.
