EVER BE DENIED THE RIGHT
TO VOTE BECAUSE OF THIS
MEASURE"
Editor Greene, who is highly re-
garded among the top Negro Dem
ocrats of the country, and who was
called upon by the National Demo-
crat Campaign Committee to speak
on behalf of the national candi-
dates, Stevenson and Sparkman,
who spoke during the closing weeks
OF the campaign in Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky, and
who only recently let it be known
that Negro Democrats in the state
would seek closer cooperation with
the white Democratic leaders of
the state, visibly disappointed at
this new development, in support
of his statement regarding COM
munlst propaganda pointed to the
recent charge by a Russian dele
gate before the United Nations as
sembly that the Wastern nations
had written into their constitutions
the doctrine of white supremacy.
In concluding his remarks Greene
SAID also that the proposed new
law was a poor reward for the

proven patriotism and loyalty of
the Negro citizens of Mississippi
as well as the nation.
Meanwhile the sentiment against
the right of Negro citizens of the
state to regiser and vote, which
had abated to a marked degree
since 1946, was reported as taking
on new life in the state as a re-
suit of a growing number of COM
plants of Negro citizens being de-
MED the right to register, even in
counties where they had been given
the right to register without OPP
position in the last three or four
years. Such county is Pike coun-
ty, where a number of Negro cit
liens, among them several school
teachers, have been denied the right
to register during the past months.
They were not allowed to register
when they were unable to answer
the question put by the official
What would you do if you We're
convicted Of a crime and did not
think you got justice"

out the state reveals that he pro-

In a run-off balloting Saturday
morning L. S. Alexander was cleo
ted Executive Secretary to succeed
Prof. W. w. Blackburn who was
placed on retirement with a month
ly salary of $105 and the title of
Executive Secretary Emeritus of
the Organization.
During the final session Saturday
morning there was much talk of
a completely new policy for the
organization being developed dur
ing the Burger Administration.
This possibility became more evil
dent when Prof Burger declined
to take part in a television inter
view following the convention Civ
ing as his reason that he was not
ready to state his views. Burger is
said to be inclined toward a policy
that will have the association look
more after the welfare of the
teachers and let the Negro citi-
zens of the state generally take all
the responsibility for equalization,
integration, and other phases of
the Negro educational problem.
Mrs. Gladys Noel Bates, whose
position is regarded as permanent
was elected assistant to the Ex-
ecutive Secretary, and editor of the

Mrs. Hightower, 18, told the court

Of T. c. Mccullough. Mr.. Nc
Cullough, prominent businessman
of Monticello and a former super
intendent of the Monticello, had for
the past several years been a trus-
tee of what was then known as the
Lawrence County Training School
for Negroes, located at Monticello,
and largest school for Negroes in
Lawrence County. He had faith
fully served as trustee and it was
largely through his untiring eff
forts that State funds and county
funds were secured to complete the
new building for this school after
the work had been begun on a
greatly needed new building.
In his beautiful eulogy, Mr..
Smith told of the outstanding ser
vice of Mr.. Mccullough on behalf
of the school for Negroes. Mr.. Nc
Collough died suddenly on Novem-
Der 20, 1868. At a meeting of the
board of trustees in January the
name of the school was changed
from the Lawrence County Train
ing School for Negroes to the Nc
Cullough Consolidated School.

its 18th Annual Convention here
Saturday after the unanimous
adoption of resolution that call
for action in the courts upon the
failure of the state legislature to
provide a solution of the problem
of education concerning Negro and
white people of the state.
The teachers attending the con-
vention were given cross current
if not conflicting opinions from the
two principal speakers Prof. J.
D. Boyd, Supt. of Utica Inst. and
Kinds AIS at Utica, the retiring
President, in rejecting the idea of
court action said, in his annual
message, that he preferred the con-
ference method to the policy of de-
handing every right we are en-
titled to as an American citizen
when dealing with racial problems.
while Atty. James F. Nabritt, Sec
rotary of the Howard University
Law School, Washington, D. c.,
leading authority on civil rights
cases, after pointing to the fact
that the harsh prejudice and dis
elimination existing in the state
was responsible for the fact that
no White Mississippian had held a
cabinet position since the time
of Grover Cleveland, doubted the
sincerity of purpose behind the
school equalization program and
said that action in the courts was
the only hope Of Negro citizens Of
the state.
The convention cited two Negro
and one white citizen for their
work in the field of education and
inter-racial betterment. They were
Miss F. 0. Alexander. Negro
Teacher Trainer. State Department
of Education; Prof George c. Cy-
press, longtime. head of Negro
