CIVIL RIGHTS TOP ISSUE IN Sc,
SAYS SIMON

CHICAGO.-"The issue of civil
rights is the main issue in the
1856 election" stated Jean
Simon, author of the pamphlet,
"Desegregation! Labor's Stake in
the Struggle for Negro Equality"
at a well-attended public meet
ing sponsored by the Socialist
Workers Party. I'm spite OF the
Democratic and Republican poll
ticianS the Negro movement has
made it the Number One issue.
The Negro masses have entered
the political scene in battles
like the Trumbull Park fight
which have exposed the hypo-
crisy of the Northern Democrats
for two years"
Calling for Independent poll
tical action which in 1855 means
a vote for the SWP candidates,
Mrs. Simon pointed out that cit
is this danger Of independent
political action that really wor-
ries the segregationists." AS an
indication of their fears she
quoted from the Wall Street
Journal which stated: while
the Montgomery bus boycott has
become a well-publ1cized stale
mate, it is worth examination
because of two things it reveals
the tendency of a boycott'S
goals to enlarge after it gets
started and it's daily evidence
that a Southern Negro COM
munity can stage an effective
mass movement. This one is
economic, but the next one may
be political or social" observes a

BOYCOTT IN MONTGOMERY

NEW YORK.-The contagious
effect of militant solidarity in

Seventy-five people white and

NO 60 SLOW ON NTEGRATION

Editors note The following
article was taken from the
March % issue of Jet Magazine
which reads as follow:
While some Negro lie ad r s
seemed ready to advocate soften
ing NAACP demands for imme-
diate integration, following a Sc
cret, high-level meeting. at Ca
pahosic, Va, NAACP Executive
Secretary Roy wilkins told JET
in an, exclusive interview that
IA of his organizations, presi-
dents show no evidence OF want
ing to yield before mounting
pressure from white southern
Spokesmen. The Virginia meet
ing which formalized the "go
slow" sentiment included Ralph
Bunche, DR.. Charles S. Johnson
of Fisk University, DR.. Frederick
Patterson, director of the Phelps
Stokes Fund, and wilkins. While
participants there agreed to Sc
crecy, JET learned that "Presi-
Dental level" aid would be
sought in easing tension
throughout the South, and that
college leaders, in particular,
were anxious to soften present
NAACP policy. wilkins, however,
said most Dixie NAACP. branch
heads "feel we may have waited
little too long. The lawsuits
we are pressing do not represent
undue haste or pressure because
they were brought in areas
where whites flatly declare they
will entertain no integration".
Fringe areas, he said, are pro-
ceeding without too much dlf-
ficulty. "It is in places like Ala

that we must concentrate our
attack on segregation.

declared, "We have never asked
for Federal troors. They are not

Unions Called On To Back
Move Against Segregation
BY Farrell DObbs

MONTGOMERY, Ala.-The trial
of Rev. Martin L. King, leader of
the history-making bus protest
in this Deep South city, has
just closed with verdict of
guilty. Judge Eugene Carter SEN
fenced him to a fine of $500 Or
40 days at hard labor and costs.
The spirit of the Negro bus boy
cotters was typified by a state
ment I heard a Negro woman
make as I left the courthouse.
II walk from now on" she de-
clared, eff my feet give out, I
will crawl" Rev. King was re-
leased on 81 900 bond. All the
other cases Of the boycott leaders
will be postponed pending the
outcome of the appeal in Kings
case.
In full solidarity with the in
dicted leaders Of their bus pro-
test movement, the embattled
Negro people of thiS city came
in strength to the mass trial
that opened here yesterday. Long
before the second floor court
room opened they packed the
corridors and formed lines down
the stairs toward the outside
where waiting crowds gathered.
Few gained entry to the court
room where the 90 defendants
filled over half the spectators
seats. Those turned away went to
an empty room in the adjacent
wing of the U-shaped building
where they crowded to the win
dows, peering across the area

scene.
Apart from reporters, wit
neses and bailiffs, few white
people have appeared in the Sc
gregated courtroom. The hand

defeat the goal they are trying

the "Meanie,' fights back by
going to almost any length to
attract attention. After reach
ing a certain point whether
the attention attracted is good
or bad, doesn't seem to make
any difference. The obseSSion
to be cynosure of all eyes in
any group has to be satisfied,
even If making a nuisance of
himself is the only way to
accomplish this end.
Mean traits are not born in
you. You cultivate them as
you go along. So take heed
and make sure YOU do not
make of yourself person

whom you come in daily con-
tact.

4 (P.-Nancy Hallam, one Of
the first glamor girls in the
American theater, was a tai
ented actress and singer who.
it is reported. charmed George
Washington into coming back
for four performances.

Colonial FavOrite
Nancy was a favorite in
Colonial theaters in Charleston,
Annapolis, Philadelphia, Will
liamsburg and New York,
where she played with the
old American Co., directed by
Lewis Hallam, ST., probably an
uncle, according to latest
research.
She frequently played Juliet
and Ophelia in Shakesperian
repertoire. Arpasia in Tam

Beggar's Opera" but Colonial
stage-door Johnnies liked her
best when she played a mans
role and wore the tight-f1tting
clothing Of the "breecheS

So, evidently, did Peale.
