Mob Psychology

Here is how Babcock described
the psychology of the mob:
That building is a symbol No
body will let it stand. The people
are running around. They don't
realize one Negro family cannot
hurt them. The whites keep
shouting the old arguments about
lowering the value of their prop
erty.
What they should know is that
the best thing for them to do is
not TO move. Stay on their pro-
perty. They are running away
when they move. The property is
theirs. and they should stay there.
Il have never seen a lynch sit
uation. but that couldn't be worse
than what l have seen here.
The national guardsmen have
been wonderful. Most of them are
just youngsters who have never
been involved in a racial situa-
ton. They are doing a wonderful
job. The police, too, should be
praised. Some of them have been
on duty 40 hours without a rest
Not all of them are sympathetic
but most of them are doing their
duty"

CONVENTION OF NAACI

CONVENTION OF NAACP
Atlanta, July 15-The impact Of
the And annual convention of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Colored People upon
the City of Atlanta has stimulated
greater interest in race relations
problems among both Negro and
white citizens. Particularly sig
nificant has been the response to
the challenging address by DR..
Ralph J. Bunche. United Nations
Mediator, at the closing session
on July 1.
An overflow audience of 1900
Negroes and whites packed the
Municipal Auditorium to hear the
Nobel Peace Prize winner assail
the tyranny of the segregation
laws Of the South" and the fail
ure of Congress TO enact Civil
rights legislation. Speaking on the
program with DIR. Bunche were J.
Wesley Dobbs, who made a plea
for support Of the NAACP. and
Walter White, executive secretary
who urged the South to throw out
of office its demagogic political
leaders. Bishop John A. Gregg of
the A.M.E. church presided.
Gould there be any greater
mockery OF democracy" DR..
Bunche asked, than the perform
ance Of the national Senate with
regard to civil rights legislation
Senators indulge themselves in
breast-beating oratory about our
democratic way of life; they en-
bark upon rhetorical flights about
the free world and free people:
they threaten to use our growing
military strength and our atomic
weapons to protect free world at
large against any aggression. 4"

ed, ignore IAN aggression on their
own threshold which urgently de-

The answer to the racial issue
in this country. DIR. Bunche con-
cluded, is "full equality. There
Is not other" he added. I'm de-
mocracy there can be no sub

Bunche was met by a motorcade
of so cars and given a police es-
cort from the airport through the
city to the City Hall. where he
was greeted by Mayor William
