Editor Percy Green AssaiIed
By NAACP Field Secretary,
After Recent Editorial Quote

JACKSON, Miss. Newstories,
appearing in both daily papers,
crediting Editor Percy Green of the
Jackson Advocate with having said
in an editorial that appeared in his
February 81, issue that, IF facil-
tiles We're equal Negroes would
prefer segregated schools" has
caused the militant Editor to be
critized and assailed from many
quarters.
In an Associated Press article,
Mrs. Albert R. Haynes, assistant
field secretary of .NAACP, said
in Chattanooga, Tennessee, 1T is
hard to conceive that an intelligent
person could take such an attitude
The editorial, by Percy Greene,
of the Jackson, Miss. Advocate,

whites.
Mrs. Hanyes said, 1T is difficult
for anyone to think of education
in any area being both separate
and equal If it is equal, it need
not be separate no American,
and certainly Negroes are Ameri-
cans, can enjoy segregation. To
condone segregation is to OPP
pose the principles of democracy.
This is to inform (Mr. Greene)"
Mrs. Haynes said, that he is still
in our nation and the schools of
Mississippi are included, too.

Says Religion
Is Remedy For
Worlds ills

CINCINNATI - Religion only
can save the world from total
destruction, according to Matthew
W. Clair, Jr., bishop of the Cen
trail Jurisdiction of the Methodist
Church.
During his address here recent
ly before a division of the Ma
tional Council of Churches of
Christ in the USA, Bishop Clait
said:
There is no redemption of So
ciety without the salvation Of the
individual. We are drifting into a
situation in which the individuals
responsibility is being taken over
by the government.
The Protestant movement is the
one force that can keep the idea
of the worth of the individual alive
in the world The future of
the world, if it is to be a democ-
racy, is with the Protestant world"

machinery that enables them to
take their places in the community

the nursery schools by saying that
the exercises in speech and mus
cular coordination, needed in the
treatment of crippled children, to
be effective, must be undertaken
in babyhood.
