ington Centennial Commission,
Booker Washington birthplace, Va,
states that the second supplemental
bill passed by Congress contained
1922 billion dollars, and included
an item Of $685. 900 for Booker T.
Washington Centennial Commits
sion. The language as the bill
was finally adopted read as fol
lows:
"For necessary expenses of the
Booker T. Washington Centennial
Commission to carry out the year
long celebration of the hundredth
anniversary of the birth of Booker
T. Washington and to promote the
spirit of inter-racial goodwill, and
revive interest in the practical
policies, programs, principles, and
PHILOSOPHERS of Booker T. Wash
ington, $225,000, to remain avail
able until expended"
Tooth Anniversary
The Commission president fur
ther stated that the year-long pro-
gram observing the one hundredth
anniversary Of Booker T. Washing
tons birth would feature him as
builder of racial goodwill and as
advocate of industrial education.
This program, she stated, will con-
sist of his practical policies, pro-
grams, principles, procedures and
PHILOSOPHERS.
Phillips gave the following rea-
sons for the year-long observance;
/. AT no time in our nations
history has there been greater need
for racial harmony and sectional
goodwill than at the present time.
Booker T. Washington came upon
the American scene at the time
when the Cival war had left in its
wake chaos, poverty, i'll will, and
understanding a mong both
races. The Negro race was sadly
in need Of guidance, opportunity,
and practically all the material
things of life needed to take ad-
vantage of the new life of freedom
opened before them. The white
group was divided, perplexed, and
resentful because of the social and
economic situation created by the
release of nearly four million
slaves. Everywhere in the South
there was intolerance and mis-
understanding.
Reach Millions
2. Blocker T. Washington, with
wisdom and humility far above the
average, and first-hand knowledge
of the needs of his people, set into
motion a series of programs that
made it possible to reach millions
of Americans with sound, funda-
mental ideas which were to bring
order out Of chaos, prosperity out
of poverty, tolerance and Christian
goodwill out of antagonism and
misunderstanding.
The effectiveness of his teach
ings is evidenced by the remark
able progress made by the Negro
and the spirit in which the races
have worked together to bring
progress and prosperity to our
land.

member of the New York City
Board of Higher Education. He
introduced the forum speakers and
commented that one by-product of
the battle for school desegregation
was the increased use of anti-Se-
mite literature and slogans in the
South.
Population Trend Cited
Mr.. Ashmore said that the de-
segregation process was being
spurred by a major shift in the Ne
gro population from the South to
the. North. He said that "every
Southern city has grown steadily
whittier in recent years while every
major non-Southern city has wit
messed a sharp increase" in its
Negro population.
The change from segregation, he
added, was coupled with a change
from the South's one-crop agra
rian economy and one-party poll
teal system, (which are so inter
related as to be virtually one, and
none can survive the other"
He said that Southern leaders
working to industrialize the region
are undermining the system of
segregation many of them so pas
sionately defend"
He declared that segregation
was already a dead letter in more
than half the states that required
it prior to the Supreme Court de-
cision in the public school cases,
and that desegregation was well
on it's way to being achieved in
other states.
DR.. Carmichael, who was re-
Gently congratulated by President

he succeeded, commented as ex-
pected, saying ain my opinion, that
state court injunction against the
NAACP is still in effect" In his
opposition to the NAACP appeal,
the attorney general went several
steps further in trying to get a
permanent ban against the civil
Misunderstanding body by stating
that ballot box and other types of
reprisals were certain should the
NAACP continue to operate.
In New Orleans, NAACP Attor-
ney A. P. Tureaud said he had
no comment to make at this time.
However, it is recalled that prior
to the circuit court action, the re-
spected civil rights counsel said
that if the decision had been I'M
favorable he would appeal immed-
lately to federal courts.
The state has 10 days to ques-
ton the ruling. 1t is believed that
the NAACP will not go into action
until move is made by the state.
NAACP activities were banned
in Louisiana last March by Judge
Coleman Lindsey of the 10th Ju-
dicial District here. The day be-
fore the permanent ban was made
the NAACP moved for a transfer
of the case into federal courts, con-
tending the state did not have au-
thority to go ahead with it's in
junction case because it was al
ready removed to federal court.

GLIDING principals and superintend-
snts. Much attention has been
paid, in recent years, to the train
ing Of teachers, but little has been
done to strengthen the position Of
the school superintendent, he said.
The key word in the new pro-
gram is to be cooperation. The
colleges and universities agreed to
undertake joint research projects.
They will work, in the field of
school administration, the way the
colleges cooperated in the physical
sciences in the Manhattan project
that eliminated in the atomic
bomb.
The council has outlined these
five first steps:
l. Help raise the administration
of education to the level of states
manship.
2. Improve the recruitment and
selection of students for executive

Eisenhower for his Intelligent ap-
proach" to the problem of desegre-
CATION in the Louisville public
schools, listed various reasons for
the success of the change in his
city.
Review OF Factors
He cited "the prompt and clear
cut acceptance of the Supreme
Court decision as the law and the
announced purpose to carry it out
by the superintendent, the Board of
Education and the Governor; a
careful, systematic and thorough
preparation of pupils, teachers and
community for the change; full
cooperation of city and county Off
Gals; a friendly press, generous in
it's news coverage and warm in its
editorial support"
In review of progress in civil
rights legislation DR.. Moron said
that the legal status of Negro
citizens is slowly changing as re-
suit of intelligent use of the courts
of the land" He hailed this as a
remarkable achievement in a
country where changes have not
always been brought about by
peaceful means"
He pleaded for the continued use
of the courts "in building democ-
racy that has no color bar" adding
that 1--WE must not neglect the con-
tinuing job of convincing our
hearts and minds that there are
questions here Of moral as we'll as
of legal precepts."
