Something About The jackson
Segregation Ordinance

From over in Birmingham, Alabama word
that the Mayor and Of the City Commissioners the
third being the somewhat famous White Supremcist,
Police Commissioner Eugene "Bul'' Conner has propos-
ed plan to repeal that part of the Birmingham Segre
cation Ordinance which prohibits Negro and White peo
pie from playing together against another in
sports events
Here in Jackson few days ago. the Southern Col
legiate Athletic Association held meeting out at the
College Park Auditorium which, despite the high purpose
behind its construction is about to become of
symbol of the most rigid pattern and practice of racial
Segregation.
During the aforesaid meeting discussion arose
over the possibility of bringing to Jackson for an ex-
hibton performance, the world famous Harlem Globe

any other sports group. The Harlem GobeTrotters

According to reports when the discussion
corning bringing the Globe-TrOtters to Jackson the
Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference informed
by high official of Jackson that there segrega-
ton Ordinance in Jackson that prohibited Negroes and
whites from playing together against another
and than that the ordinance also prohibited the
matching of black rooster against white rooster in
cock fight.
Looking at the action planned over in Birmingham,
and looking at the Jackson Segregation Ordinance
read to the Southern Collegiate Athletic Association
firmly of the opinion that there lot of right
thinking people of both in the City of Jackson who
in the language of the Good Book saying to the
Mayor and City Commissioners go thou and do likewise.

-Four Negroes

Negro, as it's designee for the Of
flee of Borough President. The
other parties fell in line and also
designated Negroes. Tuesdays
primary elections officially places
these Negroes on their respective
ballots, and history will be made
further when, in November, one
of them is almost certain to be-
come New York's first Negro Bor-
ough President.
The Wagner victory was a
smashing one, but many political
observers feel that this is no indl-
cation that he will win in the No
vember elections. The recent pri-
mary campaign between Borough
President Wagner and Mayor I'M
pellitteri was such bitter one
that many persons feel it would
be nearly impossible to bring the
Impellitteri faction behind Wag-
1iGI anu Ills LlChSI III 1NONSliiDCi.
This could be a good sign for the
Republican ticket, which is headed
by Harold Riegelman.
There is some indication that
Mayor Impellitteri will still run
for reelection in November on an
Independent ticket. In addition,
there is still the persistent talk of
white Independent entering the
race for the Borough Presidency
of Manhattan, to run against the
four Negro candidates.
Mr.. Wagner's plurality exceeded
expectations. He rolled up an i'm
pressive majority even in Brooklyn
and Queens where the Mayor had
been expected to run ahead. Much
of this vote is considered by some
experts to be protest vote against
the Impellitteri forces, and it is
felt that a great deal of this pro
test vote will be picked up by the
Republicans at the November cleo
tions.
