OF STANDARDS

MANY are not afraid of the Ne
gro in any fashion but simply
believe he falls short of their
standards, whether of intelli-
gence, morality or simple Sani-
tction,''' LIFE says.
Another major southern atti-
tude is that the problem does not
exist. Under the theory of "sep-
arate but equal" many Southern
ers have worked hard in recent
years to improve the lot of the
Negro only now to find that Ne
groeS themselves are resentful Of
these efforts in their hope of COM
plete indignation.
Candid SouthernerS will admit
that they cannot help being in
fluenced in some part by a feel
ing any casual observer of hui
man nature readily understands:
having been kingpins for many
years they are not anxious to re-
linquish or even dilute the status.
1.-THE South in general will also
if pressed, admit the segregation
will probably end some day. But
it insists that much time is need
ed to bring it about. And it feels
that it must end segregation in

Intermarrlage is Chief Fear
Of White Southerners

NEW YORK, Sept. 2 - South
ernerS who believe in segregation
are generally thoughtful, pious
people and are not, as il some
times pictured, latter-day Simon
Legrees who do now with the
law what used to be done with
the whip. They may call the Ne
gro a "Nigra" or a niger" but
have long since ceased meaning
any harm or insult by il. On the
other hand they believe strong
ly in the segregation of the races
and, as might be expected, hold
these beliefs for a variety of rea-
sons.
The nature Of segregation at
titudes Of several typical white
Southern segregationts are des-
cribed in the current issue of
LIFE Magazine as part of its
series on the Background Of
Segregation" LIFE lists the fol-
lowing views as representative of
white Segregationist opinion:
/. The end of segregation will
soon lead 30 intermarriage be-
tween White and Negro on a
large scale. "Of all the arguments
advanced against indignation, this
is the most commonly heard" the
magazine says.
2. Other millions, particularly
in the low and middle income
groups, fear the Negro for eco
nomic reasons. AS the ,industri-
alization of the South proceeds,
this fear will probably grow even
greater.

Quiet in MONTGOMERY

The non-Segregated buses have be-
gun to roll in Montgomery, Alabama, and
there has been little or nothing so far to
support the fears of those who said that
this could not be done.
During the year-long boycott of the
buses by the Negro community and the
protracted court battle, some Montgomery
officials predicted that the abandonment
OF segregation would lead to serious
violence and bloodshed. Happily, this
grim forecast has not been borne out.
Only one minor incident was reported
during the first day. Otherwise, Negroes
and whites rode the unsegregated buses,
with good grace If not with good will.
One reason for this is to be found in
the wise advice from Negro leaders to
members Of their race to refrain from
anything which might provoke violence.
The other stems from the good sense Of
the great majority of the white residents
OF Montgomery. Surely, in this country,
we have advanced to a point at which
members of the two races can be trans
ported In unsegregated buses without an
outbreak of racial violence-even in a
city as southern" as the capital of
Alabama.
