Rev.C A. Kearns TO Begin

Presbyterian Church
Mississippi
Amendment

A new amendment pre-
sented by the legal advisory
committee and approved by
a special session of the legis-
lature is to be voted upon
by the citizens of MISSISSIPPI
pi. THE new law deals with
segregation and would give
the legislature authority to
Danish public schools if it is
necessary to continue the
segregated school pattern.
Advocates of the bill are
quoted as saying that it is
simply an "ace in the hole"
which can insure our right
to continue segregation and
direct our own system of
education.
South Carolina and Geor-
gia have passed such an
amendment. Indications are
that it will also pass in Mis-
sissippi. In spite of the vot-
ing, it is generally conceded
that only a small percentage
of Negro votes will be cast
at the polls, although ap-
proximately as per cent of
the citizenry is Negro.
