The NAACP, Mr.. Marshall said. win
urge colored voters to tel their
Congressmen to vote for the Diggs
move or be unseated themselves ct
the next election.
Prospects Uncertoin
Whether the Diggs approach can
succeed Is questionable. The same
move failed on the only other oc-
casion it was used. In 1901, when
the House. SO to so. voted 1t down.
Most Representatives wouldn't vote.
But even If he misses his prime
target, Mr.. Diggs believes he can
stir UP more interest in the voting
problem.
Negroes can vote freely In many
Southern States, Of course. Only In
Mississippi, Georgia and Alabama
does the NAACP believe there has
been no progress in registration and
voting by Negroes. Suits win be
filed where necessary--and where
strong cases can be built.

Public Segregation

The NAACP was prompt to apply
the Supreme Courts school formula
to other forms of segregation in
publicly owned facilities. Two key
cases now are before the Supreme
Court and probably will see final
action during the coming year.
One suit. involving Baltimore and
the State Of Maryland, would test
the right Of States and cities TO
segregate in recreational facilities.
A Federal District Court has ruled
segregation is illegal. as the school
decision had ruled out separate.
but equal" The lower court deci-
sion is under appeal to the Supreme
Court.
Another case. involving intra-
State transportation in South Caro-
lima, also should get final decision
from the Supreme Court during the
current term. II the Federal Dis
trict Court ruling against segrega-
ton is upheld. then all segregation
on buses, streetcars and trains
would be ON the way out.
Similarly the NAACP believes all
Jim Grow" now sanctioned by law
can be wiped out.

MACE, Se1a IN q DOCK punhSneo
posthumousIy last week that there
is reason to believe segregation actu--
ally can be wiped out by 1868. And
Dr.. Ralph J. Bunche. in . foreword
to the book. agrees the goal can be
reached.
That looks like q long way to 60
in eight years, with segregation still
the practice in many facets Of life
both in North and South. But
changes in racial patterns in the
past eight years = many brought
about by action of the MACE
indicate great changes may well be
worked in the next eight.
What does the NAACP have up
its sleeve for the near future2
Basically. more Of the salne-plus
q new gimn1ick or two, plus
stepped-up pace.
The principal tools will remain
the same: Court action. the ballot
and persuasion.
The problem is substantially the
same: An end to racial barriers in
public schools, housing. jobs, voting,
medical care, churches and patron
age Of public places.
In his book. How Far the Prom
ised Land?" published last week
by the Viking Press, Mr.. White
said victory substantially had been
won in two areas: military service
and lynchings. The NAACP be-
lieves the job there Is Just to hold
the line.
This is how the NAACP sees its
Job in the near future.

Churches

Mr.. White. in his book. indicated
considerable evaporation that the
Christian churches remain largely
segregated. Brotherly love. he said.
should logically start In the church.
There apparently is no inclina-
ton to put any sort OF pressure
on the churches. but the NAACP
waits hopefully for more all-white
churches to open their doors to
Negroes. A recent study by The
stars religion editor. Casper
Names. indicates many denomina-
tons are doing just that.
It may be. In fact, that Southern
church-goers win be key persons
in furthering the broad revolution
the NAACP hopes to accomplish
by 1868.

Voting

Thnrgood Marshall \ the foremost
legal mind In the NAACP. said re-
Gently the next weapon which
should be used to It's fullest is the
ballot. Negro voters In the North,
he said. can insist their public ON
cials support civil rights measures
or be voted out Of ONCE. In the
South. Negroes should work harder
for the right to vote. Mr.. Marshall
said.
Negro Representative Charles C.
Diggs. Democratic Congressman
from Michigan, Is working now on
q parliamentary device he believes
can bring the vote TO all Southern
Negroes. He win challenge the right
Of any Congressman from a State
where Negroes cannot vote freely
to . seat In Congress.
Constitutional Provision
The Constitution. he points out.
says that when the right to vote
Is denied to any OF the male
Inhabitants Of such State !. the
basis Of representation Tin Com
gress) shall be reduced In the pro-
portion which the number Of such
male. citizens shall bear to the
whole number Of male citizens
In other words. says Congress-
man Diggs. he can challenge the
six-man Congressional delegation
Of, say. Mississippi. and under the
Constitution. Mississippi's delega-
ton would have to be reduced to
three as about half of Mississippi's
population Is colored and Is not
allowed to vote.
He plans to make his initial at
tempt when the second session Of
this Congress opens in January.
But he comedies he viii have more
chance OF success In the new Con-
gress Of January, 1867.

legally sufficient. Children must be
permitted TO attend public school
without regard to race.
The same legal principle. the
NAACP assumes, win be applied by
the Supreme Court TO all future
segregation cases.
Legal Nudges
But the schools themselves will
be the prime targets In coming
months. Several States and the
District Of Columbia are integrat-
ing their schools without protest.
In most other States. the NAACP
believes. integration win proceed at
steady pace with an occasional
legal nudge by colored parents.
Many Of these suits have already
been fled. One. in Greenbrier
County, w. Va, apparently has
been successful. When schools
there were not integrated this fall.
suit was filed, with NAACP sup
port. In the Federal District Court.
The court ruled that integration
must be accomplished by next fall.
and there is no indication the school
board win not follow the order.
More suits will be filed whenever
parents come to the NAACP with
a good legal case. The Association
win be on the lookout particularly
for cases Of such nature that they
can become precedents for q whole
State.
So far there have been no tests
In some Of the toughest States, such
as Mississippi. But the NAACP be-
lieves 1t win have legal action under
way In every segregated State in
q few months.

Housing

In his book, Mr.. White said his
group had made less progress in
housing than any other area Of
segregation. Racial covenants, Of
course, cannot be enforced by law,
but, according to Mr.. White. refusal
by most real estate men TO sell
homes In white neighbOrhoods to
Negroes and the refusal Of Congress
and the executive to order all pub
lie, FLA and GI housing to be
integrated has generally held Me-
groes In certain neighborh0ods.
The biz effort in the coming year
will be to get an executive order TO
end segregation In homes financed
by Government backed money and
to get nm anti-segregation amend
ment tackled onto any housing bill
that might 60 through Congress.
But even leaders Of the organiza-
ton do not really expect success
TO crown their efforts next year.
The housing issue. however. might
provide one Of the voting tests the
group wants to obtain before the
1856 elections. The NAACP wants
all Congressmen to go on record
either for or against at least one
civil rights measure.

committed TO support civil rights.

Biographies need not pry,

true. Virginia Woolf's first
biographer, Aileen Pippett, has
ample reason to admire her

she goes further; she identifies

Of mind comes appreciation,
almost to the point Of effusion.
comes sympathy OF an almost
defensive nature. But it does
not make for first-rate biog-

The chief sources Of Mrs.
Pippett's study are Virginia
Woolf's "A Writer'S Diary"

hitherto unpublished letters
written by Mrs. Woolf to her
friend. Vita Sackville West,
and the novels themselves.
Mrs. Pippett is happiest in her
almost lyrical analysis of those
novels. whose publication was
practically the only external
