a strong remuneration OF the
NeanderthaIism.
The Minneapolis TRIBUNE,
while not as sharp and caustic in
its condemnation of a state trying
to cook a scheme TO violate the
Constitution was nevertheless dis
dainful of the proposed ruse a
gainst segregation.
The PIONEER PRESS said;
The people of Virginia have
voted about two to one to circum-
vent the Supreme court desegre-
cation decision by changing the
name of their public schools for
white children. They will become
private schools in name while re-
naming public in fact.
ANY white child win be eligible
to go to these private schools the
same as he now goes to the pub
lie school. The costs will be stood
by the taxpayers the same as now,
but under different wording. The
Negro children presumably will
continue to go to the public
schools they now attend. What the
Virginia voters did Monday, was
to approve the calling of a con-
stitutional convention to take the
first legal step toward bringing
about this fantastic result.
The question at once arises
whether the federal Constitution
can be so flagrantly flouted. 1t
would seem that if the consttu-
tional rights of Negroes are in
vaded by their segregation in
schools, they are also invaded
when they are compelled to pay
taxes for the private education Of
a group from which they are ex-
cluded just because their skin is
OF Olt1ereOI Color.
Where Virginia leads, other
southern states viii follow and we
may soon be seeing the spectacle
of a considerable section of the
country trying to make a fool Of
the Supreme court and the Consti-
tuition, but succeeding rather in
making a fool of itself.
Educational standards in the
deep South are generally low, but
il would be a miracle even so IL
they can be maintained under the
contemplated administrative mon
strosity. The backward South,
which boasts that it now is NOV
ing forward, will turn backward
again.
The ones that will suffer will
be the children, who thus are
spared from sitting beside Ne
groes at the expense of becoming
a race of semi-illiterates. The par
ents of Virginia are saying they
would rather have their children
ignoramuses than to let them be
in the same classes as Negroes.
The Neanderthal era of race
relations is over in America, no
matter what Virginia and a few
other states do about their
schools. It is over in the armed
forces and IT is over throughout
the country as a whole. The South
proposes to bring up its children
untitled for the society in which
they are going to have to live and
make their way"
The TRIBUNE editors wrote in
editorial entitled Against Pro-
gress':
Virginia. in its two-to-one vote
to preserve segregated school. has
made a clear decision to swim a
gainst the tide Of human progress
in the United States.
"A majority Of virginians, OPP
posing the federal supreme court
ruling to integrate races in the
public schools, have cared enough
to manipulate state law to make
their resistance possible. The vote
Monday permits calling OF a
special constitutional convention

Credit Union In
18th Annual Meet:
Jacobson Speaks


The Associated Negro Credit
Union was told by a cooperative
leader Monday night that it had
opportunity TO do a great service
to the Twin Cities by its continued
growth and expansion of its SER
vices.
The speaker was George w.
jacobson, president of Group
Health Insurance Co, principal
speaker at the 10th annual meet
ing of the credit union,
The affair was held at Halle
Q. Brown House and the credit
Union members and visitors heard
annual reports from Denzil Carly
board president; Talmage B. Car
ey, secretary-treasurer; J. d.
Crowder. supervisory committee
chairman and A. B, Cassius Of
lne Creull committee.
The nominating report made by
Archie Givens was approved in
part by a contest for the three
places on the credit committee de-
veloped when A. B. Cassius was
nominated from the floor.
Reelected to the board for three
year terms were Rev. Denzil Car
ty, w. A. Young Of st. Paul, and
Theodore Woodland of Minneapo-
lis; Mrs. Alice Onque was elected
to the board of directors to fill the
unexpired term of Mrs. Rosamond
johnson, ending in 1857, Mrs.
johnson resigned on account of
the press of other duties.
Reelected unanimously to the
supervisory committee were: J.
d. Crowder Of Minneapolis and
w. A. Warricks, and A. w. Jor-
dan of st. Paul.
Elected to the credit commit
tee were Clifford Smith, and ALB.
Cassius of Minneapolis and J. d.
Anderson of st. Paul.
Mr.. Jacobson, the speaker of
the evening told of the growth Of
the credit union movement from
few members 20 years ago to the
nine million members in the y. s.
and Canada of today.
The opportunity which the AS
ISOLATED Negro Credit Union has
in Minneapolis and St Paul is
unique, Mr.. Jacobson said. Instead
of 400 members il should have at
least 5000 and instead of S23, 900
in assets it should be five times
as much. II only its present MEM
bers used 1t as a depository and
as a borrowing agency more the
union services would grow rapid
ly.
Jacobson said credit union
members should borrow money for
purchase Of autos. home applian-
ces and various other contract
payment accounts from them
selves" via their own credit union.
He praised the ANCU for the
life insurance feature Of it's pro-
gram. Members are automatically
insured to the amount of their
share account by the union.
Mr.. Jacobson said such protec-
ton offered the credit union mem
bers without charge was the most
economical way of creating an
estate.
Minneapolis and ST. Paul Ne
groes have not yet discovered
what they really have in the
ANCU. If they had Mr.. Jacob
son said, the unions resources
would be in the hundreds Of
thousands and its services could
be expanded to serve the entire
community.
Refreshments were served at
the close Of the meeting.
