preme Court could say "you are
running private schools with pub

Schools" he said.
The vetrean superintendent said
mississippi has on its statute
books a law giving the board Of
trustees the right to assign chill
dren to certain schools. And ] be-
lieve that is all we need at this
time.
Cites Cases
"The legislators on the 25-man
Legal Education Advisory Com
mission say they want to abolish
public system only as the last re-
sort against segregation. However,
who in the state of Mississippi can
say just what is the last resort" he
asked.
Mr.. Roper pointed to the case
of 80 Negroes who have petitioned
the Walthall County Board of Edu-
cation to end segregation. "The
board of trustees in that county
can fall back on the 1854 statute
where they have the right to as
sign the Students" he said.
AS to Lee County, Mr.. Roper
stated he believed the Negroes
we're satisfied with their school
system. 1--WE do not anticipate any
'Iegroes trying to enter any Lee
,ounty white schools" he said.
In Lee County there are 1000
white students in the county

Negroes.

where it was breaking down. .-
Ministry's Basic Doctrine -
The basic doctrine of the minis
try, as explained here, is that the
100000 Negroes of South Africa
have an essential way of life and
society of their own and should
not be regarded simply as black
mass but as tribal national groups
The contention of the ministry
is that Negro self-government in
reserves and Negro towns through
out South Africa can be created
only on a basis Of reform and
modernization of existing African
institutions, social class levels,
common religious, occupational,
and cultural activities. &
Politically, the program appears
to be part of a long-term policy
of divide and rule. The Govern
ment here has firmly taken the
side of tribal affiliation and ma
tive language as against the de-
sire of Negro leaders and the ed
ucated class to see the black ma
jority population of South Africa
regard itself as a homogeneous
group, preparing to become event
ually the ruling element.
Fire Reports Requested
Meanwhile, the South African
National Police this weekend in
structed the public in certain areas
to report Immediately to the police
any sign of fire in mailboxes, post
offices, houses, or on farms. The
purpose of the instruction is to
facilitate a quick check on pos
sible arson.
Areas where the instruction has
been issued included Industrial
Witwaterrand, of which Johannes
burg is the center.
Mail in mailboxes has been set
on fire in four instances in three
towns on Witwatersrand.
Burning Of enemies crops and
pasturage in the dry season is an
