ACROSS ME COUNTERS

It would be hard to exaggerate the i'm
portance of retailing in the nations economic
life
In the last year for which figures are
available, for instance, distribution of food
alone accounted for the employment of over
100000 people, who received close to 81
200,O00,O00 in wages. The figures would be
substantially higher now. And non-food re-
falling also makes comparable contributions
to our total employment and payrolls.
1t has been accurately said that the
amount Of trade that is done across store
counters determines whether times shall be
good or bad in this country.

BY PERCY GREENE

By PERCY GREENE
The meeting of a group of Negro
leaders of the state with Governor
Hugh White and members of Legal
Education Advisory Committee
here last Friday, with it's great
historic significance and promise,
served only to bring into sharp
and holder focus the word inte-
grafton, as the chief element eff
fectively blocking the road toward
improving race relations in the
state, and of bringing into being
the school equalization program
adonted by the last special session
of the State Legislature. The word
indignation becoming such an ele-
n'ent following the decision of the
United States Supreme Court de-
claring segregation in the public
schools unconstitutional, and yet
there is nothing either directly or
by implication as a basis upon
which it may be asserted that in
tegration is a part of the rights
guaranteed under the Constitution
of the United States.
In the manner in which it has
come into public discussion, the
word Indignation takes on the ap-
pearance as being only propa-
ganda term put into popular cur
rency by the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People, in its laudable but often
rnisdirected campaign for first
class citizenship for the Negroes
of the United States.
Since the United States Supreme
Court plans to have something fur
Their to say in regards to its dec
laration that segregation in the
public schools is unconstitutional,
and in view of the fact that the
arguments against segregation
were based on the fact that it had
brought about the establishment
OF great inequalities in educational
opportunities for Negroes, it is
not beyond the reasoning of the
law and the constitution, that the
came court, in its future pronounce
ment in regard to the decision al
ready made, may declare that in
tegration as advocated by the

Mr.. Emmerich's six-point plan
is as follows:
% Have a law enacted which
would "freeze" al pupils in the
schools where they are currently
enrolled.

or if a new pupil seeks enrolment
