African Integration Moves ha|ting|y

fired Asian nationalism.
Nevertheless, the African has
assimilated much of the white
mans technology and political ma
turity. And the issue of whether
or not he is able to participate in
government appears no longer
arguable to most experts here.
For ready or not, the African is
demanding a share in government
which his vastly superior numbers
would appear to merit him.
However, African leaders are
ready to admit at this stage their
desire for white guidance of their
many tribes, as different from
each other as the peoples of Eu-
rope. Many of them see in the
Mau Mau organization Kikuyu
effort to dominate other East At
rican tribes as an ancillary aim OF
the anti-white campaign. Some OF
them cited to this correspondent
inter-tribal differences of the Gold
Coast, Nigeria, and the Sudan,
which were accentuated with dl-
minishing white influence, as some
thing they wanted to avoid in East
Africa.
LAND REFORM ISSUE
There is growing awareness
among Kenya's whites, too, of their
dependence on African labor IN al
most every facet of their lives.
Moderate white influence which
currently appears to be directing
the course of multi-racial govern
ment apparently envisages period
of stabilization during the next 10
wears during which nonwhlte re-
presentation in government will be
steadily increased. Some liberals
think the logical consequence would
then be voluntarily assimilation OF
white guidance and skill on a
merit basis into an increasingly Al
,ican-influenced administration.
Whether any white voters would
return a candidate frankly adopt
ing this platform at next year $
election - ever popular Michael
Rlundel, Kenya's chunky political
leader of moderate white opinion
is highly debatable.
whether nonwhite ambitions can
ho constrained until white opinion
roacbes that liberality, is just as
debatable.
whether the intervening gap
from the present situation to that
distant point of agreement can be
hr;dped. probably depends on the
sneed which the government OF
Kenva can implement its long
range. but costly, economic and So
cial improvement schemes. Tnese
cover housing, education, medical
facilities. and most important OF all
80 Tho ,and-conscious Kikuyu-agrl-
cultural reform.
This, with the all-important ap-
..oocb TO race relations at the
;nd;v;dual level, is seen by many
n~ner+s as the key to Kenya's tu-
| ture.

Mississippi Still Has A Great
Opportunity For Leadership

coming from various sources during the past few
weeks it has been said that the of the states of
south with the larger Negro populations are looking to
Mississippi for leadership resisting the mandate of the
United States Supreme Court regarding segregation in
the public schools we believe however that it is more
gratifying to the vast majority of Mssissppians of both
races TO note, according to news reports this week. that
state is planning to give serious study to the Ten
nessee desegregation plan announced some weeks ago.
and upheld by Federal Court ruling this week.
According to news reports the ruling of the United
States Supreme Court the abolition of segregation in
pubc schools have also been upheld in decisions similar
to that in Tennessee, Florida and Texas.
According to reports the Tennessee plan may we'll
become the pattern for the entire SOUTH although Ten
neSsee which had It's mixed sentiments regarding the
Civil War issues may not everywhere be regarded
being among the states of the Deep South present
y rests most of the determination to resist the u S.
Supreme Court decision.
What the Tennessee plan embodies is simply bring
ing Negro primary elementary and high schools up to
equal standards which has already been done large
extent and bringing up to the highest standards the
State Supported Negro Colleges which has already been
accomplished noted by many in the of Tennessee
State College, and the admission of Negro students to
the state supported colleges and universities for graduate
and professional training matter apparently settled by
the decision rendered this week.
Here in Mississippi along with the reports that the
rest OF the states OF the South looking to Mississippi
for leadership in the matter there have also come some
plans which say in effect to the Negro citizens of the
state that there nothing they expect of the
various decisions of the nations highest regard
to segregation than which there is nothing more de-
grading according to the Attorney General of the United
States in speech at the Inerfaith Movement Sunday
dinner in New York Sunday night.
Moreover the plans recently advanced in the state

both Negroes and whites increasing bitterness and
resentment giving licenses to those who are again made
to feel that Negro has rights that white man is
bound to respect and can only lead to of such
cent incidents that have put the state in bad light in
the eyes of the nation and the rest of the world
We hear of no high inter racial tension in Tennessee
result of the Tennessee plan are of the opinion
that the adoption of such plan would Immediately ease
existing tension in this state and its people could
again forward in progress mutual respect and good
will in the high spirit of American Democracy
There is one thing about which we are absolutely
certain The adoption of the Tennessee Plan by the state
of Mississippi would raise the state and it's people to

Be|ated Report OF The
Baptist State Sunday
School And Training
Union Congress
OF Mississippi
By M. D. UPCHURCH,
State Reporter

The session was held in Green
wood, Miss, October 80, 1865.
The main sessions were held at
Strangers Home M. B. Church on
West Taft Street. The meeting
was a success from all points OF
view, far exceeding the expecta-
tions of the most optimistic.
Words seem to be inadequate IN
describing the favorable impress
sions of the various sessions from
the pre-welcome porgram Monday
evening to the closing session. The
atmosphere Of Christian fellowship
was so much in evidence that it
seemed to be the best in the long
history of the congress which was
organized in Yazoo City more than
40 years ago. President j. W.
Gayden is to be complimented on
having successfully led this organ
ization from its humble beginning
to its present state of influence IN
the sphere of Christian education.
DR.. H. H. Humes, president OF
the General Baptist State Conven-
ton, gave mastery address which
was packed with wholesome
thoughts for the betterment Of the
Congress and the Christian pro-
gram.
Space will not permit the NAM
ing of all who by their advance
preparation gave fine addresses
which were a source Of entertain
ment and instruction to the Con-
gress.
One of the highlights of the
Congress was the melodious singing
of Prof. Robert Bradley, who has
an international reputation, hav-
ing accompanied Billy Graham to
Europe and South America. His
rendition Of 80 For A Closer Walk
With Thee" and Amazing Grace
How Sweet The Sound" seemed to
ignite a spirit of religious fervor
reminiscent of camp meeting days
of yore.

GOODS CHILDREN ARE NOT
3ASTARDS."
o agitate our Lord above
md Jesus Christ his son,
lift Jesus up before the world
hen, his fathers will is done.
We agitate the wrong thing in life
That is the worst mistake to man
And the country is in hell of fix
And wars from land to land.
Heroes don't make sense all the
time
Taking the life of the human race,
Where men are shot down on the
firing line
It is a artful sad disgrace.
# every race would lift up Christ
And stop lifting up their guns,
We would have a paradise to live in
And Gods will would be done.
A man will give his life for his
friend
He is a brother of Jesus Christ
Who gave his life to save the
world
That we may have an eternal life.
How can we live in sin today
And claim to own a part in Christ
We are just bastard in God house
And claiming a Christian life.
Gods house is full of this kind
Claiming they are in Gods will
That can't be the will of our God,
It must be the God on Dunkin Hill.
There are thousands of bastards in
Gods house
Claiming, II am a child of God"
Don't know God in departing of
the sins
And making a Christian way so
hard.
God said, for US to love ye one
another"
And that wasn't color, creed, or
kind
But all who have been born again
Are brothers and sisters of mine.

sister
We are his fathers children, he said
If we love we one another
We will live above a dread.

The union leader, who speaks for
45,583 unionized teachers among
the country's 1,15O,O0O, laid the
shortages to the rapid rate of
population growth and insufficient
tax revenue collected for schools.
He contended that "real-estate
taxes alone are no longer enough
to cover educational costs.
AS long as we were a nation of
homeowners and home renters, he
said, the real-estate tax was a
sound basis for supporting school
costs. Now, with massive apart
ment houses and developments
which do not pay real estate taxes
in proportion to their tenancy, the
old basis is inadequate, according

man into the law of our state"
Marks Victory
For the governor, it marked the
elimination of seven years of eff
fort. He recommended a Fair En-
ployment Practices Act to the
Michigan Legislature in his first
message in January, 1949, and re-
peated the recommendation at
every succeeding regular session
until it was finally adopted in the
spring Of 1866.
The Fair Employment Practices
Commission appointed by Governor
Williams is headed by Sidney M.
Schevitz, Detroit attorney and for
mer president of the Jewish Com
munity Council of Detroit.
Other members are: Mrs. Anne
P. Cook, Greenville housewife; The
Rev. John M. Finnegan, pastor of
one of Detroit's large Catholic
parishes; Alex Fuller, executive
vice-president of the Wayne Coun-
ty CIO Council; Harry j. Kelley,
Grand Rapids industrialist; and the
Rev. Chester A. McPheeters, min
lister of Metropolitan Methodist
Church, Detroit.
Funds Granted
The Legislature granted the
Commission an appropriation OF
S5O,2O0 for the remainder of the
current fiscal year, which ends
next July /. Out of this fund the
Commission is authorized to employ
a full-time executive director at a
salary of $500 year, and neces-
sary staff.
DR.. Louis Friedland, associate
professor of public administration
at Wayne University has been
named temporary acting director,
until a permanent appointment can
be made. DR.. Friedland will take a
leave of absence from his Wayne
University duties.
The new Michigan law proclaims
in it's preamble that "the oppor-
tunity to obtain employment with
out discrimination as to race, color,
religion or ancestry sis hereby
recognized and declared to be a
civil right"
Summary of Law
The Michigan law prohibits dis
elimination by employers; forblds
employment agencies to specify
anv discriminatory qualifications
of race, color or creed; requires
labor unions to admit and service
members of all religions and races
without discrimination; forblds
the use of discriminatory help
wanted advertising, questlonalres
or application blanks; and requires
non-discrimination clauses in all
state contracts.
Michigan is the tenth state to
adopt such legislation with en-
forcement provisions.
The law authorizes the Com
mission, through its staff to IN
yestigate complaints of job dis
elimination either by employers OF
labor unions, and to engage IN et-
forts to bring about compliance
with the law by conciliation. II
conciliation fails the Commission
next step is to call a public hear
ing at which testimony is TAKEN
and an order to comply is issued.
As a final step, the Commission
may apply to the courts for an
order to enforce its decision. Inc
Commission has no direct subpoena
power but may apply to the courts
to force the appearance OF VIII
nesses.
The law also directs the Com
mission to engage in a statewide
educational program to promote
the elimination of racial and re-
ligious prejudice and discrimlna-
ton.
