white STUDENTS ASK
FOR Jim CROWS END

GREENSBORO, N. c., Mar. s.
(ANP)-Two hundred white stu
dent leaders assailed segregation
of the races in the Methodist
Church and its affiliated colleges
at conference here last week.
The group approved resolution
favoring the acceptance of Ne
groes in church-supported Metho-
dist institutions.
The resolution adopted by the
group said:
"The Methodist church should
realize that it must break down
the bars of segregation"
The action was taken by men,
bers of the North Carolina Metho-
dist Student Conference at it's final
business session.
The views of the conference will
be submitted to the two district
superintendent and presidents of
the Methodist affiliated colleges
and universities in the state.

Fisk |nterraciaI Survey Says
Immediate Civil Rights Reforms
Possible In Interstate Travel

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 3
An interracial survey, made public
this week by the Fisk university
Race Relations departments. de-
clares that immediate civil rights
reform is possible in the field OF
interstate transportation. The re-
port urged broader approach to
the problem of racial segregation
in interstate railway coach travel.
The report said that such prob
lens must be looked upon as "a
body of social fact and experience
that is manageable through judi
cial, legislative and administrative
settlement"
The new idea, which is vastly
different from the usual concen-
tration on individual instances OF
discriminatory treatment would,
according to the report enjoy the
special advantage of permitting
emphasis upon the sensitive and

Four Party Fight Develops
In Effort TO Win Control OF

Say Election Will Bring Little
Change In Status Of Natives

CAPETOWN, South Africa. Mar.
3.-Prime Minister Daniel F. Ma
Ian has much to worry about now
since he set April Is as the final
date for the country's national
election.
The election will not only de-
termine whether or not Malan and
his nationalist party will continue
to rule South Africa with an iron
hand, but will also provide the
rigid test on the soundness of the
governments racial problems.
Malan's Nationalist party for
the past five years has been sub
ject to attack by the opposition
party which claims Malan has
failed miserably in his attempts
to suppress the African natives
and prevent unifying of races.
The opposition party has often
aligned itself with Malan's Ma
tionalistS. Malan wants complete
apartheid segregation of the
races. The opposition party has
never protested against this nor
the suppression of the natives.
Neither did it protest when Malan
restricted $4,000 colored (persons
of mixed blood) in Cape Province
from voting in National elections
last year.
More trouble is brewing in this
already seething racial hot-spot as
the South African Parliament
passed last week a public safety
bill giving the government police
powers to deal with anyone re-
sisting its race segregation laws.
ONLY nine members of the l59-
member house of assembly voted
against the measure.
The measure, predicted to bring
African and Indian tempers to
boiling point once again, allows
Prime Minister Daniel Malan to
declare states of emergency, sus-

LEERsNG AT White farm GIRL

Ruling Giving Ingram Complete
Freedom Sets Aside 5-Yr. Probation
Court Says Evidence insufficient
For Conviction In The First Place

RALEIGH, N. c., Feb. 81
Mack Ingram, the share cropper
convicted of assault by leering"
at white farm girl, was freed"
by the North Carolina Supreme
Court Feb. 25 on the grounds that
he could not be convicted ''for
what may have been in his mind"
when he was supposed to have
committed the alleged Crime"
In setting aside the 6-month
suspended sentence conviction i'm
posed on Ingram by a lower court,
Chief Justice Devin stated:
at cannot be said that a pedes-
trian may be assaulted by look,
however frightening, from 4 per-
son riding in an automobile some
distance away"
The high court also indicated
that the statute under which In
gram was convicted was too vague
to be valid
Ingram, A, and the father of
nine children, was arrested in June,
1851, for assault by leering" at
the young woman some rs feet
away. He was first found guilty
by a Recorders Court and SEN
fenced to two years on a road gang.
After an appeal to the Superior
Court, grand jury indicted him
on charge of assault to commit
rape" That charge was later re-
duced to assault by leering."
Following a mistrial in 1851, In
gram was tried again last Novem-
Der and given a six-month SEN
tence. While the sentence was
suspended, he was put on proba-

whole story was out. AS he told it,
he worked with an accomplice who
walked ahead of the car, peddling
magazine subscriptions. When the
accomplice found place with no
one home, he would notify the crook
in the car, who would then enter
the house, take what he could and
take off.
This experience well illustrates
the basic dishonesty of many of
those who have gall enough to try
to pull off their rackets. They'll use
everything but honesty in trying to
get your money. But they can be
handled, especially if you really pin
them down. Here's how one farm
woman in the same part of the coun-
try dealt with a pair of slick sew
ing machine agents.
Sewing Machine Deal
These two men drove up and Of
fered to demonstrate a new electric
sewing machine. They said they
would take the woman's old ma
chine plus a small down payment
for the new one, and added that
she could pay the remaining amount
by making holders for silverware.
That sounded pretty good, the
farm woman thought, but when it
came time to sign papers, the stipu-
lation for paying off the machine
by making silverware holders was
not in the contract. The woman
asked that it be included. The buck
sters acted offended and said she
should be able to take their word
for the deal.
So the housewife suggested call
ing up the sewing machine COM
pany but before she could even lift
the phone, the phony pair had re-
loaded the sewing machine and
and gone out the gate.

surely IndC the agents were up 70
skullduggery.
Time for Lunch
Sometimes these travelling crooks
get too smart for themselves, even.
Here's one that gave rural commu-
nifty good chuckle.
The magazine salesman, equipped
with crutches and the usual sob
story about points" for something
or other, hobbled up to home and
asked for chair to sit on. He went
into his pitch-to no avail, Incl
dentally-and was just beginning to
argue strenuously when the noon
siren blew and down the street came
a new station wagon with out-of-
state license.
The phony salesman jumped up,
said, cts dinner time, there comes
my boss" and took off down the
sidewalk on the run. 1t wasn't until
he reached the street that he re-
membered his crutches, and it was
anti-climactic when he came back to
get them and drag them after him.
And this salesman was really ver-
satile. A Philipsburg reader writes:
Yesterday magazine salesman
came over to our ranch, saying he
was from a nearby town and want
ed points so he could start business.
His car had an out-of-state license.
His price was higher for subscrip-
ton than could get it through the
mazagines themselves, so 1 refused
to buy.
''He left in a huff and went next
door to my in-laws' house. He told
them he was working his way
through college, but they refused
him too.
81 certainly wish there was way
to stop them from annoying us
ranchers."
