Headaches From Dixie Public Schools

Another ringing Indictment registered against
the segregation and discrimination of the Southern
public school educational system last week 1t all came
about when teachers and officials of the Chicago public
school learned recently that the influx of children from
the South is steadily mounting
A school board member said: "The influx of new
to the Negro community is making it harder for
us to hold good teachers youngsters in from the
South where they have had only four five months of
school year. For many of them, attendance not
compulsory and they grew without any training what

A Salute For The Rocky
Mounts Mayor
From the Carolina Times

Nov. 3-When Mayor Jack Murchison of Rocky
Mount issued a proclamation setting aside Sunday,
October 25 as "NAACP Sunday" he blasted new path
the frontier of Southern thinking the like of which
has not been heard of in day The procama
ton has rocked the Southland both black and white to
the extent that many old fossils in these parts still
having to resort to their smelling salts and amonia bot
ties to keep their balance Mayor Murchson in book
is of conviction and courage that overshadows
that thing often referred to political foresight.
Rocky Mount Negro voters have really had
challenge flung in their faces in that they going to
have to back the Mayor with ballots if and
when he up for reelection. Mr. Murchison has
recently stuck his neck out in section of the state
where in years past has been political suicide for any
white who raised his finger in behalf of human dig
nifty for Negroes The political destiny of the Mayor will
probably be determined by how we'll his Negro constitu
ency backs his stand The Negro vote in Rocky Mount
will have be doubled if Mayor Murchson's political
scalp is saved. 1882.
All over the South especially here in North Caro-
fna there thousands and thousands of white people
whose hearts tell them that they ought to take similar
stand that taken by Mayor Murchson, but they just
have the courage of their convictions to face the
prisals inflicted upon who does.
We salute Mayor Murchson and trust that Negro
voters will not let him down if he decides to for
election His appearance in state political circles will
certainly be watched for by Negro leaders in all walks
of life 1t is fair-mnded and women like him who
needed in public office if democracy is to have
place of leadership in world affairs

Racial Strife Hurts
Investors Away

LONDON, Nov. 2 = The CON
slant threat of an African upris-
ing against white South African
rulers has made that country a
poor financial risk, according to
a foreign news correspondent.
The newsman, Ernie Hill, said
last week the country faces a fl
nancial crisis toward the end of
the year because foreign inves-
tors are refusing to take a chance
on a country so born by racial
strife.
Hill attributed the racial fric-
ton to Daniel F. Malan's institu.
ton of a policy of complete segre-
cation (apartheid). Celebrating
on his prediction, Hill pointed out
that:
British financial houses are un.
able to recommend South African
investments as they once did be-
cause of the danger of bloody
uprising by the predominantlV
black African population.
"South African finance minis
ter Havenga shocked the COM
placency of the gold and diamond
rich country in a report showing
that foreign exchange reserves
were melting away at rate OF
$4,000, a month and that less
than $300,000,000 remained.
"Our position is becoming pre-
carious," he said, "unless foreign
investors change their attitude in
the near future"
Racial strife in johannesburg,
Capetown and Durham, brought
on by DR.. Malan's efforts to in
stitution has been highly explo-
sive for the last year."

Ashby B. Carter,
NAPE chieftain,
Dies In Chicago

CHICAGO-America, lost one of
her most distinguished sons and
the nations Negroes have lost one
of their greatest .leaders-Ashby
B. Carter, President of the Ma
tional Alliance of Postal En-
ployees and Grand Master of Prince
Hall Masons for Illinois, died at a
hospital here on October %.
Death came to Mr.. Carter at
2:25 am, after an illness of only
ten days. He had suffered, how
ever, from a heart condition. His
beloved wife, Mrs. Audrey Carter,
was at his side when death came.
Mr.. Carter was in his sixties.
Son of a West Virginia coal min
err, Mr.. Carter was educated at
Bluefield State Teachers College,
Bluefield, w. Va, and came later
to Chicago where he entered the
Postal Service and fraternal life.
His rise in both fields was phe
nomenal, and he soon became the
head of the Prince Hall Masons
in Illinois.
In 1915, after yoeman service
'in the ranks" in the Chicago
Branch of the NAPE, Mr.. Garter
was elevated to the presidency of
the Alliance. It's growth under
his leadership has been equally
phenomenal and a tribute to his
abilities and sagacity as a leader.
A firm believer in racial coop
Grafton, and a brilliant progressive
mind, Mr.. Carter utilized unusual
political skill with innate wisdom,
and led the fight to vindicate
Negro postmen caught in the vic
ious "postal purge" of 1913 and
1949. He was successful in that
fight. His vision added stature
to the NAPE as well, and he
broadened it's scope Of activities.
Mr.. Carter was a friend and
confidante Of President Eisenhow-
er, and Adlai Stevenson, recent
Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent. He was also a close friend
of Postmaster General Arthur E.
Summerfield, and one of his last
official acts was to help inaug-
urate the "mass air mail flight"
| of 2cent letters hatwapn Wash
ington, New York and Chicago.
Funeral services were to be held
in Chicago. The Carriers had no
children. Last year Mr.. Carriers
mother, Mrs. Matte Jane Carter,
died in Chicago. Later, brother,
died in Bloomington, Iowa.

DR.. Searey
Featured In Look
AS Outstanding
Young ''Country
Doctor"

New York, n. Y.-Dr. Rupert
Searcy, one of ten Negro doctors
who have completed their medical
education under Mississippis plan
for training physicians for rural
practice, is featured in the current
issue of Look magazine (out Nov.
-. DR.. Searcy, a native of the
state, now practices in Cleveland,
Miss, in an area where Negroes
outnumber whites three sor four
to one.
The Doctor is prospecting, ac-
cording to Look. He owns a new
home and a bright new sedan car.
This is partly due to the fact that
Negro patients pay their bills
more faithfully than whites-a
point on which doctors of both
races agree, Look says.
His wife, a former classmate at
Alcorn College, helps him as &C
countant and receptionist in his
neat, well-lighted doctors office.
She also takes care of their three
children.
The Mississippi program for
educating country doctors not only
has completed the training of ten
Negro doctors, but has 81 more
Negro men in medical school or
interning in hospitals throughout
the state. The state loans money
for medical school to qualified stu
dents who want to become doc
tors, on the provision that they
will set up practice in rural areas.
If they moce to town or decide to
specialize, they must pay back the
money with 40 interest. But if
they stay in the country for five
years, the loan is cancelled.
Dr.. Searcy served four years in
the Air Force in World War II,
and received his medical degree
from Meharry Medical College in
Nashville, Look says. While at
medical school, he delivered news
papers to help support his wife and
children. ut was good preparation
for the night calls to come," Look
adds.

Tadpole Or Frog?
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Which are you tadpole frog?
Before you decide = look around you. 1t is always
so much easier to analyze the other fellow than it is
yourself.
You know the frogs in your particular pool They
easy pick out When they croak they croak with
authority and with the of maturity. And the
other denzens of their pool don't much question their
utterances
Of course sometimes they get the idea that their
particular pool is the whole world and that nothing is
quite big they are! But remember the Aesop fable
of the frog that thought that Aesop not have
known what the word dictator meant-bu he picked the
perfect moral for his taewhen the boastfu frog was
squashed
You also know tadpoles who think they are frogs.
They to forget that they can't live out of the pool
until they grow legs They envy the bufrog the lily
pad and complain that all he does is croak They forget
that same frog tadpOle and that he had to
learn TO live N the water before he could learn to live
land And that he had to learn to be alert and look be-
fore he leaped or he never would have grown to be

After speaking to the Ministers
