Springs, and how in order to
meet his obligation and plane
schedules he was obliged to leave
Hot Springs without eating there.
Finding that he would have time
in Little Rock, he sought to take
advantage of the time by eating,
but when he asked for food at
the airport restaurant, he was di-
rected to the kitchen. Bishop
Spottswood pointed out to Hines
that in his position it was hard
for him to judge whether or not
a Negro was suffering from a
hardship And the bishop indi-
Gated that if Hines could look at
Negro and diagnose his feeling
he was in the wrong business for
his powers were equal to that Of
God,
Later troop of soldier came
through with about six Negro
soldiers among them and all were
fed in the airport dining room
1t seemed to be a custom with
Hines to feed Negroes in uniform
Mrs. Bates asked if Negroes could
eat while they were in uniform,
why was it that they lose their
citizenship as soon as they are
released from the armed services
To that question Hines was as
evasive as to all others.
The committee findings were re-
ported to the Legal committee for
further study and action.

one class on the All Purpose

rolled 815. However, there are
1877 in kindergarten-double class
es, on the All Purpose stage and
now a class of 18th and 5th grad
ers in the Library. The projected
enrolment for next year is 24O
for kindergarten. This would give
Twinbrook LOSS children in a
building with $50 capacity. They
are in the same situation as Lone
Oak and Maryvale, surrounded
by new developments. And with
many new homes being built
around them.
Lincoln Park Junior High is
housed in two temporary build
ings and one brick building. The
repair, which is desperately need
ed, would be very costly. They
have 555 youngsters in school
capacity of 400. Their need is GER
tainly obvious. The plans to en-
large the Carver High capacity
from $50 to 1900 and combine the
two schools is an excellent one
and one that is so important to
our children, as well as, our
teaching staff. 1t is a plan that
cannot come soon enough.
There are only approximately
$50 colored children enrolled in
