The Cuban kayoed his sparring
partner, Richie Anderson, in the
second round Of their workout yes

mendous left and went down and
out-for several full counts. The
Cleveland boy came around in a
little bit, and went another round
with the 147-pound kind but Gavi-
Ian was careful not to crack down
again.
Meanwhile, at PleasantviIle, IN

all the fighting that was done at

NEA Will Continue To Foster Interest
OF All Teachers And Students, New
Executive Secretary Tells Conference

Washington, D. c. - The Ma
tional Z ducation Association
inaugurated a new executive secre-
tary last week at nationwide
conference on education, which
heard William G. Carr, the new
NEA head, declare his organiza-
tons reaffirmed devotion to the
welfare of all students and teach
ers.
DR.. Carr was installed during
the sessions held Sunday and Mon
day at the Statler Hotel, the U. S..
Chamber of Commerce, and at the
headquarters Of the NEA on north
west 10th Street. Leaders in edu-
cation and representatives. of a
large number of national organi-
cations came to Washington for
the event.
In an address called, Help
Wanted, the new executive secre-
tary asked the delegates to the
conference to lend their full CO.
operation to greater American sup
port of local controlled programs
of public education. He pointed
out that too many of our boys and
girls are receiving inadequate
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1952-11-08

training in our public schools.
DR.. Carr listed d number of exis-
tant factors which he felt contri-
butte to these inadequate programs
of training. Among factors listed
were pressing shortages Of well
qualified teachers, which is caus-
ed by rapidly growing school
population and an inability of many
school systems to offer good salar-
les.
In a press conference held at the
Statler Hotel, the NEA head en-
phasized that fact that his 95-year-
old association consider its role
that of serving all children and all
teachers. Negro members of the
teaching profession have always
been able to hold membership in
the NEA and receive its services.
Col. West A. Hamilton, member
of the District of Columbia board
of education, was a participant on
an important panel devoted to ''the
teacher and public cooperation.
Col. Hamilton stressed the need for
great financial support to our
schools, which he called the great
foundation of our democratic way

Liberia Signs New
Agreement With
Mining Concession

In a new profit-sharing agree
ment between the Government of
Liberia and the Liberia Mining
Company, Liberia will benefit sub
stantially this year with increas-
ing profits provided in the future.
Citing the good working relation
ship between the Liberian Govern
ment and the u. S. owned mining
firm, company spokesman stat
ed: eve hope we've devised a
formula that will endure and pro-
vide a good pattern for others. :"
This is in accord with the Tub
man Administration policy of en-
couraging investment on a "basis
of mutually"
A sharp increase in the Liberian
Governments income from h e
Bomi Hills mines was asked sever
al months ago, due to the fact that
many of the construction costs
originally to be borne by the COM
pany, are being paid for by the
Liberian Government.
Final ratification of the agree
ment now depends only upon the
Exportlmport Bank, which adj
vanced large sum to the mining
firm to aid in the development of
iron properties.
Liberia formerly received a
small royalty on each ton of ore
shipped, which amounted to APP
proXimately 100000 a year. I'm
der the new arrangement, Liberia
will get royalties amounting to
between $1,500,000 and $2,000,0OO
year now, with an escalating
profit-sharing clause which will
provide Liberia with a full fifty
fifty share of the proceeds in 20
years.
Under the agreement, the Liber-
ian Governments participation in
net profits will begin when the
company's indebtedness is liquidat-
ed and the return of invested capt.
tai accomplished, or on April l.,
1857, which ever is earlier. After
the effective date, Liberia will par
ticipate in the net profits as fol-
lows: rs percent for the first five
years, IS percent for the next ten
years and so percent thereafter.
Until the Government starts re-
ceiving share of the profits five
years hence, it will get an interim
royalty Of $3.50 a ton in addition
to the royalties provided in the
concession, retroactively effective
as of April l, 1852.
Last year, in its first year of
mining, Liberia became the worlds
tenth largest exporter of iron ore.

citation and hearing it interpreted

said the Farmers Home Admins
tration has helped 10000 white
and colored farmers in the South
to buy farms of their own.
Also he pointed to the work
OF colored farm and home demon
stratiOn agents and supervisors,
who are expanding their program
of providing farm people with bet
ter methods Of farming and home
making.
Hutchinson said since 1881, color
ed Extension workers have more
than tripled their coverage of farm
families with demonstrations, dis
tribution of farm bulletins, and
farm visits. He added that the
participation of Negro farm fami-
lies in Extension activities had in
creased ten-fold during the 20-year
period. And he cited several exam
pies to indicate the quality of pro-
gress being made.
Back of all this he said, was a
more adequate staff of Extension
personnel. Since 1881, the num-
Der of Negro agents has increased
from 1913 to 826, nearly IT'S per-
cent, he stated.
Hutchinson praised the Land
Grant presidents upon the high
calibre of graduates they are
turning out to fill jobs in agricul-
ture both at home and abroad. In
additions to the splendid job some
of your graduates are doing here at
home, number of them are max
ing an outstanding contribution to
better rural living in other parts
of the world through the Point
~ program, he said. "And | am
extremely happy that your colleges
have been integrated into our Of
flee of Foreign Agricultural Re
lation's training program for fore
ign trainees.
Turning to agricultural research,
the Assistant Secretary said one
of the weakest spots in the farm
program is the lack of financial
support for research and education.
But he expressed the hope that
wider research opportunities could
be given the Negro Land Grant
colleges. Moreover, we can i'll af-
ford" he declared, mot to make
full use of our Land Grant College
system in developing effective re-
search programs"
Hutchinson said a start had been
made in the direction of providing
research assistance to the Negro
colleges through the farming out

search and Marketing Act to four

against him Intentionally excluded
Negroes.
Said Judge O'Hara:
The supreme court of the
United States has established cri-
terion which it uses to determine
whether there has been systematic
and intentional exclusion of Ne
groes from grand juries because of
their color and the application of
this criterion to the facts herein,
this court respectfully believes,
leads inevitably to the conclusion
that the motion to quash must be
sustained"
Judge O'Hara pointed out that
in the census figures of 1890, 1910
and 1850, the Negro population of
New Orleans was about 80 per cent
of the total and that mo Negro
person, with one exception . . has
ever served on grand jury in
Orleans in the memory of any liv-
ing person" The exception, the
judge wrote, was a Negro of light
complexion, who was mistaken for
a white man.
Before 1885, the jurist said, "no
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1952-11-08

Negroes were placed in the jury
wheels by the jury commissioners
and consequently, none were drawn
or served as grand jurors before
that year"-the year that the
Negro served by mistaken identity.
$50 our consideration of the
facts in this case must begin with
1886, when and since which date,
the jury commissioners have been
placing the names of Negroes on
the jury wheel
In citing number of cases of
similar cases, Judge O'Hara said
that, "the supreme court of the
U. S. and of Louisiana have de-
creed that (the combination of
facts set forth) and events evil
dences systematic racial discrimi-
nation in violation of the 14th
amendment to the Constitution OF
the y. S."
He quoted at length from the
authority under which grand juries
are empanelled and said suffice
it to say that the supreme cour1
of the U. S. has declared in sub
stance that equal protection of the
law requires that a colored person
shall be II orded an opportunity
to have members of his race serv,
upon the grand and petit jury il
cases involving his life or liberty
and, therefore, any denial of this
guarantee, either by law which
does not provide a fair mode O.
selection, or by officers who sys
tematically administer the law 81
as to accomplish gross inequalities
cannot be countenanced."
Judge O'Hara wrote, "The de
PENDANTS contention in this case
among other things, is that tn
omission of Negroes from tn
grand jury continuously for g
years and more, and for 16 year
that Negroes have been placed il
the jury wheel, considering thu
large Negro population in the 10
cality, and considering that man.
of them are legally qualified t.
serve on the grand jury, estab
fishes a case of intentional an,
systematic exclusion of Negroe
from grand juries in locality, il
violation of the 14th amendment
according to the decisions Of tn
u. S. supreme court, which declare
that under the facts and circum
stancs stated above, that chanc
and accident alone does not ex
plain the continuous omission .
Negroes from grand juries, hcnc
the continuous omission of Negroc
from the grand juries in the 10
cality; that there is nothing hereil
to differentiate the selection 0
the grand jury that returned tn
indictment herein from the con
tinuous succession of grand juric
from whose rosters Negroes wer
consistently omitted"
He said, "it is a matter of com
mon knowledge that male Negroe
have been serving in the fedora
courts in New Orleans on peti
and grand juries for so years am
more.
"The fact that there are NAL
Negroes in New Orleans legal
qualified to serve on the fedora
grand jury and who have bee
continuously serving over the year
on the federal grand jury in New
Orleans establishes the fact tina
there are Negroes in the commun
.ity with the qualifications to serv
on the state grand juries in Or
leans"

In closing, the Assistant Secre-
