Negroes to Ask School Board
For Transfer of Stanton Annex

president. and Mrs. Ella r. Foster
civic association president. werl
the dissident leaders. Both urget
acceptance Of Birney.
Mr.. Savay had delivered notes
to them.
Mrs. Gordon said chances o.
getting the Stanton Annex arr
slim because Of the plan to US.
1t for crowded Stanton itself. Shit
suggested that the school boart
provide bus service from Turnel
to Birney.
Mrs. Foster said she saw INC
alternative" to accepting Birney
even though she wasn't satisfied
with it. She said she felt "the
children are the ones who win pay
the price" If it is refused.
Mrs. Foster also opposed strikes
and lawsuits.
Accused Of Fear and Timidity.
Her stand brought q charge o1
'fear and timidity" from Roy Gar.
win, an attorney who was chair.
man of the meeting.
I'm identifying myself with
those who are for carrying the
tight on in all quarters" Mr.. Gar
vim declared.
Getting Stanton Annex" he
told the meeting. would be ar
oblique attack on the segregated
school system"
MIR. Garvin said possibilities fol
action include q strike or an at
tempt to enter Negro students al
Stanton, followed by lawsuits after
they are excluded.
Such action might mean, he
said, that some parents would "a
to jail, but he promised there
were lawyers in the community
who would help them to get out.
Both Mrs. Gordon and Mrs.
Foster rose to defend their views,
them personal. Another
woman accused Mr.. Garvin OF
putting the two presidents ION the
spot" after which the chairman
said he apologized.
Phillip A. E. Harris, education
chairman Of the civic association
and another attorney, said a strike
would be q tangible way of show
ing opposition. But he opposed
lawsuits. pointing out the Supreme
Court now is considering cases on
school segregation, and asserting:
Il say, to commit the community
to q multiplicity Of suits in the
face Of the Supreme Court situa-
ton would be folly"
The groups petition asked:
l. Completion of an addition at
Turner School by September in
stead Of next April. as scheduled,
2. Transfer Of Stanton Annex to
Negroes.
3. Portable buildings as needed
to supplement the annex. (None
are used now in the school sys-
tem.)
4. Provision Of an adequate
of teachers.
5. Rapid integration" as soon
as legal restrictions make this
possible"
Is Only Temporary Solution.
School Supt. Hobart M. Corn
ing. in proposing the use Of Birney
told the school board it was only
a temporary solution. As q long
range measure. q request for q
new school at Stanton and Elvans
roads Sc. has been made for the
next fiscal year. It can't be ready
till 1855, however, and the citizens
contend it is on the wrong side
Of Military highway.
An addition to Garfield also is
is in the future school construc-
ton program.
DR.. Corning admitted there soon
would be hundreds of new chill
dren in the area, but he estimated
the. Garfield-Turn excess next
fall will be only about 200-which
could be accommodated by Birney.
The plan is to put nine classes
there.
The citizens, however, predict
many more pupils and part-time
classes.

STRAIGHT AHEAD
By julius j. Adams

Qodtn last week Ol Welluell I.
Dabney, venerable editor of the
Cincinnati Union, attention is
once more called to- the fact that
the men best prepared to leave
literary legacy that would en-
tighten and inspire the younger
generation, are rapidly passing
from the scene.
Last October, an article appear
ed under Straight Ahead which
inferentially called upon Mr.. Dad
ney to set down for poSterity,
some of his experiences and OBJ
servationS over the past six de-
cades. We mentioned at the time
that the old timers were dying
very fast. Since the article ap-
peared, several of those we had
in mind at the time the article
was written have died, taking with
them much knowledge and infor-
nation of valuable historical inn
portance. Any one of them might
have told a great story = Robert
Bob" Church, veteran COP po-
litical leader; ]. Finley Wilson,
Grand Exalted Ruler of ElkS; Lu-
cius c. Harper, executive editor of
the Chicago Defender, and one Of
the best-informed newspaper men
in the country, and now, M.
Dabney.
Part of the original Straight
Ahead" article read as follows:
"One of the few Old Guard jour
nalists who did so much to ad-
vance the cause of the race in
the days when the struggle was
really rough, is the venerable
Wendell Phillips Dabney, sage of
Cincinnati and editor of the Union
of that city.
There were others: Nicholas
Chiles of the Topeka Plain Dealer;
Robert S. Abbott, the Chicago De-
fender; Fred R. Moore, New York
Age; William Monroe Trotter,
Boston Guardian; Robert L. Vann,
Pittsburgh Courier; Roscoe c..
Simmons, A. N. Fields, and num-
Der of others.
"All these men, now dead, knew
the troubles of the race, shared
them and worked to improve the
Negroes plight. Moreover, all of
them plunged deep into politics,
and knew the political history Of
the Negro first hand during the
early years of this century and
knew it from hearsay and books
of the Nineteenth.
UNFORTUNATELY, though, not one
Of them has left very much in
writing that could guide or in
spire the youth Of today. True
enough, a student trained in re-
search could dig into the files Of
the newspapers edited by these
men or newspapers for which they
wrote and come up with some in
teresting material. But, it is ser
iously doubtful if the real story
any of them could have told could
be pieced together quite as they
might have told it.
"Nor have we anything from
the leading politicians of another
day who might have told inter-
esting stories = for example, Ed
ward H. Wright, Oscar DePriest,
and Louis B. Anderson of Chicago;
Ferdinand @. Morton, and Charles
Anderson of New York; Walter
II. Cohen of louisiana; Benjamin
Davis and Henry Lincoln john
son of Atlanta; and William H.
Lewis the elder, of Boston. Not
one of them left a line, although
al were urged at one time or
another by their friends to tell
their story.
1--WE haven't heard directly
from Mr.. Dabney for some time
now, but we sincerely hope his
health is fine, and that he will
remainperched high on his edi-
torial stool for many years to come

new building. Present indications
are the new library will be opened

Arizona sun., 1952-06-27

as in civic and community affairs,
Mr.. Dabney would be able to tell
a powerful story = and it should
be told. Negroes whose lives have
been such that the have been pro-
vided with the material for good
stories that ought to be passed on
to future. generations, just refuse
to write" .r
Let us hope that some of the
remaining "old timers leave us
a legacy.
