Mr.. Caliver, a government spec
lalist in the field of higher educa-
ton for Negroes, held that Negroes
IN the states maintaining separate
schools lag far behind the national
norm and behind what students in
these states.
He predicted that it will take
many years to close the ''wide gap
between the education of Negroes
and whites of the South. However,
said Mr.. Caliver, to attempt to do
so on separate but equal basis
Will cost many more billions of
dollars year than are now being
spent.

Forum, 1.-THE Changing Pattern,
held today at the Cosmopolitan
Club. With Ambrose d. Caliver,
assistant to the United States Com
missioner of Education, DR.. Clement
sought to analyze the place of the
private Negro college in the chang
ing education pattern of the South.
The first Negro educator to be
elected to the Board of Education
in Atlanta, Georgia since 1871, Dr..
Clement said that chose who fear
that removal of racial barriers in
the public schools will result in an
immediate over-running of hitherto
white schools by Negro students,
should remember that urban pat
terms of residence and the school
districting which follows this pat
tern will operate against any i'm
mediate large inter mixture of the
races"
The private Negro colleges will
be called upon to serve members
of this racial group for good
many years to come, Dr.. Clement
concluded, because of geographical

vey, associate editor of the MlSsls-
sippi Enterprise. Editor Greene
was allowed to remain in the meet
ing after he stated that he was
representing the Mississippi State
Association of Negro Democrat
Clubs, and Mrs McMeaner was al
lowed to stay in the meeting when
she stated that she was present
as the representative of the Bust
ness and Professional Women's
Club. Both Editor Greene and
Mrs. Harvey pledged to the chair
man that they would be bound by
the decision of the body in the
matter of news regarding what
took place during the deliberations
Of the meeting.
Following the meeting a resolu-
ton was released to the press and
its publication evoked a telegram
from President Boyd, and Rev.
H. H. Hume, although somewhat
different in tone, repudiating both
the resolution and the meeting.
In regard to the action of Pres
ident Boyd in Sending his telegram
to Governor White repudiating
the resolution there are those who
were present throughout the meet
ing who stated that before the
resolution was adopted President
Boyd stated that upon its adoption
he would be bound by the resolu-
ton and would make no further
statement after the adjournment
of the meeting. There were also
some among those present who
said that the wording Of the reso-
luton, as published in the daily
papers, if not its sense was some
what different than the resolution
as read for the approval of the
meeting.
Meanwhile only the Extraordi-
nary Session of the State Legisla-
ture by its action would reveal the
effect of the conflicting opinion
among certain sections of Negro
leaders of the state in regard to
the Education Equalization Pro
gram and the states educational
outlook.
The Legislature went back to
work Tuesday following week
end recess in order to give its var
ious committees time to study the
pending legislation. First up fol
consideration was the bill calling
for five-man school board. Sup
porters of the bill withstood a
flood of amendments and Wednes-
day the bill was ready for passage
IN the Senate just as it was re-
ported out of the committee.

Charges Bias
Prompts Ending
Of Bureau
Training Program

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5 - The
Bureau of Printing and Engraving
OF the Treasury Department is
continuing its defiance of President
Elsenhower's anti discrimination
policy IN federal employment, Clar-
ence Mitchell, director of the Wash
lngton bureau of the National AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of
Colored People, charges in a letter
to Phillip Young, chairman of U.
S. Civil Service Commission.
The federal bureau, Mr.. Mitchell
asserts in his letter dated Nov. 3.
employs not single Negro among
its 46l printers. In order to keep
this force lilywhite, the Bureau
has abolished its program of APP
prentice training in which 81 Ne
groes and 80 white persons were
enrolled, he points out.
1T appears" the NAACP Off
clal says, that the Bureau is will
ling to place some of its white
employees at a disadvantage Just
to keep all coloied employees off
the printing presses"
In 1850 the Bureau passed over
colored persons eligible for APP
pointment as printer apprentices to
reach whites who were lower on
the list. This action was challenged
by9 col ored employees and the Fair
Employment Board recommended
that practices which resulted in the
exclusion of cOlored eligibles be
halted.
The Treasury then held up ap-
pointing all ehgibles by special
agreement with anti-civil rights
forces in Congress while legisla-
ton which would have nullified the
boards decision was under consid-
GRAFTON. This legislation was killed
in 1851. That year thirty-one col
ored people and thirty-nine whites
were placed in apprentice train
ing.

among responsible Negro leaders
concerning the educational out
look in the state. The widely pub
lished but false report charged
that the white" press was barred
from the meeting.
According to statements from
responsible persons present at the
meeting from it's beginning until
its final adjournment no effort
was made to single out members
of the white" press to bar them
from the meeting, but after the
matter had been put up for dis
cussion by the total delegation at
tending the meeting it was agreed
that the "press," both Negro and
white, would be barred from the
deliberations of the meeting, and
after opinions had crystalized, and
decisions reached, statement
would be given to the press, both
white and Negro, embodying the
accomplishments of the meeting.
1t is true that some members
Of the Negro press remained in
the meeting after unanimous de-
cision to bar the press, both white
and Negro. The members of the
Negro press who remained in the
meeting were Percy Greene, editor
and publisher of the Jackson Ad-
vocate, and Sarah McNeamer Har-

halted the apprentice training pro-
gram which was scheduled to run
for four years. This had the effect
of again making the printing force
all white. 1t also resulted in loss
of permanent status for some of
the colored and white employees.
In one case, Mr.. Mitchell asserts,
white combat veteran, Clarence
n. Amber, was reduced from per-
manent to indefinite status be-
cause of the job change. The vet
eran has been employed at the Bu-
reau for 10 years. Most of the col
ored employees not only lost per-
manent status but were reassigned
to unskilled jobs such as elevator
operators and minor clerks.

Mrs. Louise Walker, mother Of

the present Kenilworth pupils

cross dangerous Benning road if
transferred to the Benning
School, as school officials have
planned.
Harold B. Chinn, education
