Mississippi Kills Bill
For Private Schools
1oAvoid Integration
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

8 JACKSON, Miss, Dec. 49,
: The Mississippi Senate last night
: killed by a tie vote the contro-
versial constitutional amendment
resolution that would give the
Legislature power to abolish the
@State school system If segrega-
s.tion is outlawed.
= The 24-24 vote on the resolu-
stion meant it's death as it lacked
- single vote of passing.
= Actually. the test was on the
vote of the members acting as a
scommittee of the whole, but the
result was the death Of the reso-
Sutton.
Passed by House.
Representative Walter Sillers,
House speaker, introduced the
resolution, which after four
stormy contests. finally squeezed
sthrough the House.
. Mr.. Sillers called the resolu-
@t1on an important weapon
against the day that a Supreme
Court decision might strike
down segregation.
z The resolution provided that
III the people of Mississippi
adopted it at a special election
March 80, 1854, the Legislature
would have the power to turn
=the State school system into
.private institutions.
It was aimed at giving the
State power to preserve segrega-
s-tion even if the Supreme Court,
now considering the question,
ruled against it.
: Established Private Schools.
: The idea was that private
schools would have the right to
deny Negroes entrance to schools
attended by whites.
- Mr.. Sillers explained that the
State could provide the tuition
money for each child-Negro
and white ailke-to attend one
=of the private" segregated
schools.
Opponents Of the resolution
argued that such a device would
likely be as unconstitutional as
segregation itself if the court
ruled against it.

$3.50 Rule Used
By Senator Douglas
In Accepting Gifts,
By fhe As,eeiaisd Pres,

CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-Senator
Douglas, Democrat, of Illinois
says he has adopted "a $3.50
rule" concerning gifts sent to
him.
"It is suicide for elected offi-
cials to reject all gifts" Senator
Douglas told the Junior Associa-
ton Of Commerce and Industry
yesterday. "Pepole would think
you were weaned on pickle and
lack the human juices. so I have
a $3.50 rule"
Senator Douglas said any gift
that appears to be worth more
than $3.50 is sent back. The
others. he said. generally are
sent to Walter Reed or Bethesda
Naval Hospital.
II viii admit that occasionally
! will take home a few Florida
grapefruit or something of the
sort" Senator Douglas said.
"Thus far, this has kept me out
Of trouble. I don't think there is
much chance Of a Senator being
corrupted by $780,"

Where Are the Jobs?

Reprint Courtesy of the Pittsburgh Courier
Negro Republicans have been waiting for appoint
ents in the Federal Government since the Inaugural
ton but up the present time only job OF any import
ance has their way.
We thoroughly understand the problems which have
been confronting the Administration this connection
after twenty years of NewFar Deal saturaon but our
patience is becoming considerably strained.
After ALL Negro Republicans of national stature and
oanacty worked for Eisenhower victory and GER
Sainy deserve recognition -
And it is matter of fact that the Administration
HAS many appointments of officials at home and
abroad, but no Negroes. <.... :
Therefore, no reason why SOME Negroes
should not been appointed at this late date to posi-
tons commensurate with their ability.
So far the Administration has not only dragged it's
feet in this connection but has given satisfactory epa
nation for doing
We think prompt action is called for and that time

Letters TO The Editor
WATERMELON STAND
ACROSS THE STREET

Dear Editor of the Arizona Sun:
1 read with a degree of gratifi
cation, your article in last weeks
issue of the Sun, pointing out the
improvement made on the refresh
ment stand at Eastlake' Park. l
note that the City Council has
awarded So, ,164.O0 to put the stand
in shape to serve hot sandwiches.
The thing 1 cannot fully under
stand is, why it costs so much to
serve sandwiches, and SO little to
serve watermelons ,
Just across 10th street., less than
30 feet from the park, there is an
old tumbled-doWn, watermelon
stand, serving melons. under a more
disgraceful condition than you
would find in the backwoods, or in
no-man's land. .-...:-.
I am in position to know that
top authority has been contacted
about this matter, but up to this
14th day of July, nothing has
been done about it We all know
that the very location of Eastlake
park brands it as a 'eNgro park"
Even though it is branded as such,
there is no reason for us to allow
it to look worse than our other
parks. Have you seen watermelon
stands within speaking distance of
any the other parks in the city?
Do you think the citizens of Encan-
to Park would allow such a dis
graceful place Ito sell anything,
within 80 feet of that park?
I am not writing this article
against the presence of this stand
just because the operator happens
to be a white man. 1 would write
the same article if he were my own
blood brother.
There are some; things in our
community that we must fight to
keep decent. This watermelon
shack is not in a back-alley, section
of the city, neither do we have
back-alley citizens living in that
vicinity. Some of our most out
standing citizens are living in the
neghborhood of this disgraceful
watermelon dump. Why can't this
stand be made decent :? 1t will be if
we demand it.
