Atlanta Elects First
Negro To Bourd
OF Education

For the first time since recon-
struction days, Negro was
elected last week to the Atlanta
Board of Education from the Third

NCNW Urges Preparation For
Supreme Court School Decision


tional Council of Negro Women,
following program directives ema-
mating from the Community Work.
shop conducted at the annual con-
vention held in November in Wash
ington, DC, have issued a spe-
cial bulletin to all local and junior
councils and national affiliated or
ganizations urging them to prepare
their communities for a possible
decision outlawing segregation in
the public schools of the nation.
Intergroup meetings of local
leaders of both races, discussion
sessions on the why and where
fore of legal action now in the
hands Of the Supreme Court, the
studied use of information pamph-,
lets isued by the Southern Region
al Council on the Schools and the
Supreme Court" were some of the
recommendations to the entire
membership of the National Coun-,
Gil of Negro Women.
Mrs. William Thomas Mason, the
newly elected national president of
the organization stated today: "Ne-
gro and white citizens must prepare
for the great change in an orderly,
civilized and democratic manner.
"America has an unprecedented
opportunity to take a Soul size
step in establishing and maintain
ing one more vital life link, weld
ing together the people of America
for mutual progress and protec-
ton. Education for democracy and
for living cannot possibly be.
achieved in a segregation school
system.
"The nations schools are our
first line of defense. Children and
adults, too, learn by precept and
example, One without the other is
meaningless. believe that the vast
majority of American people are
willing and desire to see our school
system reflect the theory and prac-
tice of American democracy.
1.-THE fateful decision of the SUI
preme Court will hasten or delay
the realization of the dream and
hope that millions of people long
for and have struggled for
decades past to secure"
The National Council OF. Negro
Women has also issued strong enc
dorsements of the annual March of
Dimes campaign, requesting coun-
Gil members to volunteer their
services in every possible way for
this worthy cause.
Included also in the memoran-
dunn is a similar request to support
and help in local community drives
sponsored by the American Red
Cross. Members of the National
Council of Negro Women have rem
dered notable service in helping to
put over community activities of
these two groups.

Gen. Clark 10 Lift Curfew
For Enlisted Men in Japan
BY the Asseeioted Press

TOKYO, Sept. 24.-United
States Far East commander
Gen. Mark Clark today approved
a suggestion that the wartime
curfew for United States enlisted
men in Japan be abolished.
The curfew restricts American
enlisted men to their billets be-
tween midnight and 6 am. un-
less they hold special written
authority to be outside.
The proposal that it be
dropped came from a newly
organized enlisted mems Ad-
visory Committee, formed at the
suggestion of Gen. Clark to give
him the soldiers viewpoint on
matters pertaining to morale.
Gen Clark said the curfew will
be lifted when all subordinate
commanders have been notified.
But he said the commanders will
be authorized to reimpose the
curfew temporarily when they
deem it necessary.

H0gerstoWn Tax Raise Seen
As Surplus DwindIes Away

surplus has continued year after
year. despite record high rev.
enue.
A postwar Doom period
brought on the trouble. The
boom was centered mostly
around Fairchild Aircraft, makers
of the C-119 flying boxcar. New
housing developments in all
parts of town brought rising
demands for more and more
new streets, alleys. drainage
systems and utility services.
The city has been spending
nearly $500,000 each year for
such things. And much of the
funds were never budgered.
When such projects came before
the Mayor and Council, city Of
ficials voted for them. If the
money was not in the budget,
it came out of the treasury
surplus.
The outgoing Republican ad-
ministration. when it made up
this years budget last winter,
included no funds for capital
projects.
