The Negro Struggle
BY Jean Blake

asserted that nothing was ac-
complished by the two year
struggle that would not have
been accomplished "in a nat
ural, orderly manner if just a
few people had a little faith
in their neighbors and friends"
This, too, is false. The bad
faith of the local authorities
and some "neighbors" was de-
monStrated over and over again.
First by their denial that the
Supreme Court decision of May,
1854, applied to them. Second,
by their refusal to admits the
colored children to the Webster
and Washington schools in Sep
tember, 1854 and to the Webs
ter and Washington schools in
September, 1854 and to the
Webster school in September,
1855. Third, when they delib-
erately tried to evade the court
rulings through the crooked
device of a new school zoning
ordinance designed to establish
zones along racial, rather than
geographic lines. Fourth, when
a threatening cross was burned
near a Negro home.
S. Finally, if the school board
had not realized its mainte-
nance of segregation was un-
tenable legally, it would have
taken steps to end the boycott
of the Jim Crow Lincoln school
by enforcing the states COM
pulSory education laws.
But resorting to force would
have gained them nothing, and
they knew it. Because the boy
cott had begun with the asser-
ton of the Negro leaders that
they would "go to jail rather
than send our children to a
segregated school," This prin-
cipled stand is what won the
victory in Hillsboro.

Veterans News

Lenders and builders in the
CT loan program should make
sure that reasonably accurate
tax estimates are given to vet
eran-buyers and reported to
the Veterans Administration,
Mr.. Wayne A. Sanders, Manager
of the Arizona Legional office
of the VA said today.
In some areas of the country,
Mr.. Sanders said, lenders and
builders have enormously esti-
mated the real estate taxes and
special assessments when nego-
tiating with veteran-buyerS and
when submitting loan applica-
tionS or loan reports to VA.
Through this practice, Mr..
Sanders said, the veteran-h -homer-
owner is faced with meeting a
substantially higher monthly
payment shortly after closing
the loan than he originally was
informed he would have to pay.
In some cases, Mr.. Sanders
said, this increased payment is:
so much higher that, if it were
known prior to approving the
loan, VA would have rejected
the application because Of in
sufficient income.
The loan also might be placed
in jeopardy due to the borrow
er's inability to meet the in
creased payment, Mr.. Sanders:
added.
VA believes it is the duty Of
lenders and builders to make
accurate estimates of real estate,
taxes and assessments, even,
though the exact amounts are
not known at the time prop
critics are sold. Accurate eSti-
mates may be obtained by
making inquiry Of local taxing
authorities and bv comparing
similar properties in the local.
ity, Mr.. Sanders added
It is possible. Mr.. Sanders
said, that in some instances
the underestimate" was inten--
tional in order to qualify the
borrower from a standpoint Of
credit or induce the sale. IF
this is the case, he added, sus-
pension of the lender or builder
from the CT loan program could
result.

PARENTS LEAD STRUGGLE

school board that the Lincoln
school would be abandoned
when two new elementary
school buildings were completed
was simply device for continu-
ing segregation as was the ex-
cuse that the children who re-
fused to attend Lincoln school
could not be integrated because
the other schools were over.
crowded.
Segregation could have been
ended at any time, regardless
of the condition of existing
school facilities, by simply as
signing all Hillsboro children to
the schools nearest their homes,
without regard to race.
Admission of the colored chill
dren to the Webster school on
April 16, 1856, proves conclusive
ly that the so-called obstacles
to integration did not exist.
Denial of equal educational op-
portunities to these children
for two years was an inexcus-
able injustice.
3. The statement of the Hills
boro Press-Gazette editorial Of
April goth that there never
was a problem until outside in
tereSts moved in and created
one" was completely false. The
struggle to end segregation in
HillSboro scholls was initited,
organized and carried out by a
local group of parents headed
by Mrs. Imogine Curtis, former
president of the Parent-Teach-
erS Association at the Lincoln
school.

BOYCOTT ACTION
EFFECTIVE

On April 16 the children were
finally admitted to the former
ly white" Webster school. With
the conclusion of the school
term in May, the rest of Hills
boro's Negro children attended
their last segregated classes in
the Lincoln school. In addition,
two other Ohio cities, Chillothe
and Middletown, announced
they will end segregation for
colored school children with the
opening of the fall term.
The local Hillsboro newspaper
and the spokeSmen of the school
board tried to deny that the
militant parents and children
who persisted in demanding i'm
mediate integration for two
years had won a victory. They
tried to discredit the effective
ness of the principal stand and
struggle.
But here is the record that
cannot be denied:
/. Segregation Of Negro
school children existed in Hills
boro. Statements to the con-
trary by local officials were
deliberate lies. The alltNegro
