A CHALLENGE TO
THURG00D MARSHALL

The state conference OF branches OF the NAACf
will hold its annual meeting here Sunday with Thurgood
Marshall the organizations chief counsel the principal
speaker
More than ever now, since the death of Walter
White Mr. Marshall is beeng looked upon as not only
the able attorney for the organization but by and
people as it's most responsible spokesman.
Having ploted the school segregation to
successful conclusion Mr. MarshaPs high standing
constitutional lawyer we'll merited and he is not with
out high qualities OF craftsmanship.
visible to the Negro because of the intervention
of slavery and segregation than any other of the
TONS minority groups, is the right Of peoples of diff
feren and creeds to have their institutions
with the guarantee of equal protection of the law right
which is among the great ideals of American de-
mOcracy.
The NAACP piloted by the legal talents of Mr.
Marshall has for the Negro, as we'll other mi
nority groups in the nation the right to Indignation,
another right backed by the Constitution of the United
States and upheld in the decision of the United States
Supreme Court.
In recent editorial the Christian Science Monitor
whose opinion is respected within well outside of
the nation and which cannot be accused of Negrohoba
in pointing to the school issue and the recent Supreme
Court DECISIONS sad the moderates holds the key
forms.
In approaching and achieving the solution to the
problem of relations between the recognized right
of the various peoples of this country to have their
institutions under the guarantee of equal protection of
the law, and the recent decision by the NAACP,
there appears ample for the moderation pointed out
by the Christian Science Monitor.
1t is recognized principal of American jurisprud-
that the guarantee of right does not destroy
other rights already enjoyed.
1t appears to us to apparent to state fact here
that no solution be found to the problem, de-
spite the recent decisions of the United States Supreme
Court in atmosphere of vituperation, vndctiveness
fnger-pointing namecaing and threat of retaliation
1t also appears to in the light of recent events
and the signs of the future that the time has to
make way and find formula which will make it posi-
BILE for the moderates to begin working We know of
better place and better time to formula
of moderation than at the Conference of Branches of
the NAACP here Sunday, and better spokesman for
such formula than Thurgood Marshall, who in this
view will be facing of his greatest challenges when
he speaks here Sunday.
In conclusion, unless the NAACP itself can show
the Willingness to support formula that will enable
the moderates to working at the solution of the
problems posed by its hard decisions, its fruitful
leadership of the Negro in Mississippi and the rest of
the south appears already at end

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: There amt never been a
time lack herelately that you could
git around crowd of Aine Hag-
gar's Chillun anywhere an learn
right-off what's eating-on 'em, and
most times now when l sets down
to eat my fish and drink my beer
| hears somebody come along and
listen a little while and says that's
what's the matter with US we talk
too much, and with everybody talk
ing there's bound to be a lotta
folks talking who don't 'xactly
know what theys talking bout, fer
as I'm concerned l always had it
figured out that anybody doing
lotta talking is talking too much
when they don't know much about
what theys talking bout, which
makes it sorta hard when you runs
cross something that shows you
right-off that your idea had you on
the wrong track that's what
l run cross bout my idea bout
folks talking too much whilst l was
setting, looking, listening, drinking
my beer and eating my fish long
wild all de rest of the tribe when
an old TYNE Parish Streeter butted
in when somebody started to say
something bout US members-o-t eh-
tribe of Haggar talking too much
his notion about the matter,
and what changed my mind and
knocked-out my idea, was that he
said that there was a whole lots
worse kinda talking than talking,
and talking, when you don't know
much bout what you's talking
bout, he went way round the cor
ner as lotta old folks do before
he got to the crust, but when he
finally drove up to it there was no
misunderstanding of what he was
Citing at . and what he finally
arrived at was something that
might be causing Aine Haggars
Chillun down here in the Old Mag
nolia to run up against lotta
pricks, specially seeing that some
body a long time ago said its hard
to kick against the pricks :. befo
l forgits it, and | hope all of y'alls
who reads it will remember, that
what the Old Tymer told me was
this it amt the folks that don't
know much bout what theys talk
ing bout that talks too much {.
it's them that knows what theys
talking bout but jess keeps on
talking and talking, when de sub
jects done run out knowing all he
doing is spreading confusion {.
SOMETHING TO READ: If you
