JACKSON, Miss.-Negro leaders
Friday dashed hopes of the states
white leaders that voluntary seq
regation of the races in the states
public schools was likely.
Ninety leaders of Mississippis s.
million Negro residents told the
Legal Education Advisory Commit
tee the state should not sidestep
the historic Supreme Court deci-
sion.
E. w. Banks, Jackson undertak-
er, read a resolution passed by the
Negro group Thursday night ask
ing state leaders to endorse and
abide by the segregation ruling.
Members of the state committee,
set up by the legislature to find
ways to preserve separate schools
for the races, had declared previ-
ously that 95 per cent of Mississip-
pi's Negroes want to keep segre-
gated schools, if they are equal.
Friday, Negro leaders said this
was not true representation of
the feelings of people with whom
they were in contact.
DR.. T. R. M. Howard of Mound
Bayou, said:
"The Negroes have not come
here to help work a plan to cir
cumvent or bypass the decision of
the US. Supreme Court. 1t is a
humane decision"
He said $50 residents of his town
the olny all-Negro city in the
state met Thursday night and
voted 1--WE could not endorse any
program of legal or voluntary seq
regation in Mississippi"
Only one Negro speaker at the
meeting urged the state to keep
segregation, and another offered
compromise, but neither got favor
able reaction from members of
their race at the session.
Gov. Hugh White announced
then that he will call the Mississip-
pi legislature into SPECIAL session

PANAMA CITY, R.P. - Three
lodges of the Improved Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks of
World. operating in the Republic
of Panama and the Canal Zone, are
facing suspension from the home
headquarters in the United States,
the weekly Panama Tribune re-
ported last week.
In a front page story the Tri-
bune said:
"RumorS that the Liberated, Au-
rora and Justice lodges of the I'M
proved Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks had planned to
secede from the parent body and
form a local headquarters in the
Republic of Panama were flatly
denied by Eduardo Herrera Pueblo
and Lionel j. Duncan, exalted rul-
erS of La Libertad and Aurora
lodges respectively when queS-
toned.
'The two representatives of the
local branches admitted dissatis-
faction with the Grand Lodge over
the appointment of Michael N. La
zaruS as grand district deputy and
grand exalted ruler for the Repub-
lie of Panama and the Canal Zone" :"
The late DR.. j. Finley Wilson
had previously allowed the local
branches the privilege to recon-
mend candidates to fill certain Of
fices, Herrera repeatedly told the
Tribune, but this order has been
changed by the present grand ex-
alted ruler, Robert H. Johnson.
Tribune further stated that
both Herrera and Duncan have de-
MED the intention to form a local
lodge of the Order, adding that
Duncan an eight-time consecutive
ruler of Aurora Lodge and DR.. H.
Clarence Edwards, a former Dis
trict Deputy for Colon, had both
denied permission by the grand ex-
alted Rulers Council in Colon.

Elks Problems Mount In
Ponomo, Report Soys

The dissenting groups - Aurora
and Libertad - admittedly held a
meeting July 4. Tribune said, for
the purpose of forming a new
council and to fight against the
leadership of Mike Lazarus.
The weekly reported that Laza-
rus explained that the late DR.
Wilson had waived his right to
appoint representative in foreign
jurisdiction and allowed the Past
Exalted Rulers Council to make
selections for him. He restricted
himself to appointing without re-
concentrations, representatives in
continental United States.
Johnson, who succeeded Wilson,
has changed this policy, and has
adhered strictly to the cOnStitu-
ton of the order by making his
own appointments. Lazarus quoted
Article 7, Sec l of the constitution
dealing with the duties of the
Grand Exalted Ruler which states
in part: From and among the
PERs who have attended at least
one session of the Grand Lodge
and are in his opinion capable OF
representing him and furthering
the work of Elkdom, may be ap-
pointed representative of the
