Toledo, Ohio amp Hold
ding Carter. the Pulitzer prize
winning Mississippi editor. pre-
dicted here last week that public
school Indignation would be a long
time coming 10 those areas in the
South where the ratio OF Negro
population approaches or exceeds
that OF white.
Carter, editor-publisher Of the
Greenulle, Miss, Delta Democrat
Times, said, for exahple, that he
would not like 20 see Indignation
come at this time in Greenville,
whore seven out Of 10 persons are
Negroes.
He was speaker at the closing
convocation Of the annual Inter-
group Workshop sponsored by the
Toledo Board Of Community Rela-
tons and the Toledo Teachers
Federation al the University OF
Toledo
Generally considered a moderate
white southerner, Carter admitted
that nothing would have been done
in the South about public school
Indignation. He said that ne
thought the u. s. Supreme Court
decision in 1854 was morally right.
but was not made on sound legal
basis.
One solution he suggested that,
he said. might help ease the racial
problem in the South was that the
proportion Of Negroes be reduced
10 about 10 per cent Of the general
population.

tant defender of Negro rights. Yet
outside its own membership, its
name had little public significance
until, ruling on cases NAACP's
lawyers had brought, the u. s.
Supreme Court in 1854 outlawed
segregation in the public schools.
Since then. the five initials have
come to stand for almost every
thing connected with the integra-
ton movement and the resistance
to it. The fact that many times
the NAACP has only participated
after the fact, or merely been loud
in the cheering section, makes no
difference.
To thousands OF whites in the
Deep South it has become the I'M
mistakable enemy. A network Of
White Citizens Councils 600
chapters in Mississippi alone) has
sprung up to fight 1t. South Caro-
lima has passed a law prohibiting
public employees from holding
NAACP membership. In Louisi-
ana, a 1924 law originally aimed
at the Ku Klux Khan has been re-
vived in an effort to suppress
NAACP activity altogether.
The president of the u. s.
Chamber Of Commerce charges
that its NEEDING has brought
to "a Earring halt the encouraging
progress that was being made
toward good will between the
races" Almost every newspaper
editor below the Dixon Line
and quite a few above, laments the
NAACP's extremist position" and
pleads vaguely that it not push
too hard" or move too fast"
Also, at least one White Coun-
Gil leader has tried to pin rock
and-roll music on the NAACP.
"A plot to infiltrate and corrupt
teen-agers," he called It.

First they wrecked the restaur-

They set fire to a barber shop
