The Negro leaders in Mississippi, who
last week rejected the voluntary educational
plan of Governor Hugh White, deserve con-
siderable praise, and the Negroes of the south
should thank whatever gods may be for their
intestinal courage. This denotes leadership
and leadership denotes progress
According to reports, the MISSISSIPPI
executive was irked to no small degree, The
refusal on the part of the Negro leaders was
such a surprising shock, that the governor
is reported as saying that his confidence in
Negroes was more or less destroyed This in
itself is healthy sign. Because the only Ne
gro with whom the Mississippi executive was
familiar enough to place confidence in was
the modern day "Unele Tom" type and what

innate capacities of all men. Our grandfathers
used to carry the keys to the banks. Their
honesty and fidelity was beyond question. In
various special fields we are making good. We
have told this story before but it is worth
telling again. During World War III when the
employment of Negroes was moot question
in the arplane industry, one Pacific coast
manufacturer SAID "of course" he was not
going to hire Negroes. He was reminded that
he already had three Negroes in high posts.
these three had become individuals and the
employer forgot they were Negroes They had
earned their way and no petty race label
could hold them back.
Race labels easily become race hbels. Our
Supreme Court has shown us the way out of
such small thinking To avail ourselves of it
we must have something to put into the COM

Governor White Learns A Lesson

a great day in the south it will be when Mr.
Charley discovers that that type of Negro
does not do the thinking for the Negro, and
he is as deeeitful as white southerner is
vain.
When Governor White proffered his
voluntary" educational plan to continue seq
regation in education in the Mississippi
schools, circumventing the High Courts de
cision, the Negro leaders in a prepared state
ment said:
we can do no more than to endorse
and abide by the decision of May II, 1854
of the Supreme Court of the United
States"

Assailing Mcleod for
Refugee Act Failure
BY III. As.oeiossd Pres.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Repre-
sentative celler, Democrat. Of
New York, returned today from
Europe and sharply criticized
Scott Mcleod, administrator of
the 1853 Refugee Act.
Mr.. Celler said the act is "up
TO now. q dismal failure" and
called for Mr.. McLeod's replace
ment by some one mot a mere
cop."
"A good law has been prosti-
tuted by the insane, arbitrary
and savage administration there
Of by Mr.. Scott Mcleod" Mr..
celler said on arrival at Idlewild
Airport from Geneva after a five-
week tour.
He added: "A Mcleod bu-
reaucracy run riot" requires so
many reports and investigations
''in mystic maze of enforce
ment" that a refugee must go
through an obstacle race"
Noting that Mr.. Mcleod also
heads the State Departments
consular division and is chief OF
security. Mr.. Celler said:
HE CMr. Mcleod has power of
life and death over the man in
the consular and foreign service.
Mr.. Mcleod has thrown his weight
around quite bit in this service.
These career men fear him like
q plague"
Mr.. Celler visited Spain, Italy,
Switzerland and Africa. He said
only "a handful" of the 10000
refugees authorized have been ad-
mitted since the act took effect
in August, 1858. He said he would
try to amend the act, which has
20 months more to run, to include
Spain and TO permit refugees to
be sponsored by organizations as
well as by individuals, as at
present.
