speech to calling names and making
smart remarks but that would serve
no purpose except to make you feel
good. You know how you feel
about Senator Eastland, and you
know how I feel about him. There
is no need to hold mutual testi-
mony meeting on Eastland. You
were not given a chance to elect
him; in fact he was elected by
only a part of the white people Of
the state. In truth, if we add the
Negroes who were prevented from
voting to the white people who did
not vote for Eastland, it is plain
that he was elected by minority
of the potential voters of Missis-
sippi. Well, he is there in the
United States Senate and we Will
let the National Democratic Party
worry about him. Right along
through here he is the party's prob
lem.
Here, departing from his text to
charge the Democrat party with re-
sponsibility for enacting Civil
rights laws he added the name OF
former Governor Talmadge OF
Georgia, another leading advocate
of continued segregation, who IS

segregation campaign, the failure
of justice in the case of Rev. G.
w. Lee, and the Till case, with
some comment on the more recent
Pike County rape case.
Early in the speech he had this
comment to make on the Jackson
Daily News. Speaking of the Jack
son Daily News, he said, whatever
you may think about its editorials
and it's special columns, it does
give in its news columns fairly ac-
curate and complete stories of what
is going on in the desegregation
campaign elsewhere in the nation.
If God would just touch Editor Fred
Sullens on the shoulder land, APP
parently, only God can do it, and
get him to be as fair in his edi
torials as his paper is in its news
columns, we might be on our way
to better understanding in Missis-
sippi. White and black MISSISSIPPI
plans have a right to ask fair de-
bate of a public question in great
newspaper.

tons. They will get the fullest
cooperation from Negroes on any
"good faith" proposal.
In a press conference which fol-
lowed the speech, the NAACP lead
er again charged the National DEM
ocrat Party with the responsibility
for the enactment of Civil laws
and predicted that Negro voters
will desert the Democrat Party in
the coming presidential election.
Pressed in regarded to the point
by members Of the press he ad-
mitted that there was nothing to
indicate wholesale dessertion OF
the Democrat Party by Negro vot-
ers, and estimated that there would
be not more than ten-percent de-
Election as compared with the 1852
election when the Democrat party
got an estimated 70-percent Of the
Negro vote. Jof
Question during the press con-
ference in regard to the statement
made several weeks ago by Thur
GOOD Marshall, Chief Counsel for
the NAACP to the effect that
school Indignation suits would be
brought in Mississippi within three
weeks, a period now passed, Mr..
Wilkins said the filing of such suits
were still among NAACP plans
but the actual time of their filing
would have to await future de-
velopments which he did not fully
explain.
Some listeners present saw it as
significant that the speaker did not
use the word "integration" at any
time during his entire speech in
which use the explanatory words,
De-segregation, Segregation, and
discrimination. However, in the
press conference he said his failure
to use the word "integration" had
no special significance.
The program opened with the
audience standing and singing the
"star Spangled Banner" followed
by the invocation by Rev. Gaines,
pastor of Pearl Street AME church.
Following an appeal by Rev. I.
D. Mangrum, Chaplain of Tougaloo
College, upwards of $500 was
raised for the NAACP Freedom
Fund. :.
The program was under the al
rection of C. R. Darden, of Merid-
ian, president of the State Confer
ence of Branches.
Music was furnished by the choir
of New Mt. Zion Baptist Church.

the U. S. Senate as another re-

His most pointed attack appear
ed to have been reserved for the
newly created State Sovereignty
Commission, concerning which he
said" "Now Mississippi has come
I'D with a secret spy system, no
less. Informers are to be paid to
report on their neighbors, what
they are thinking and what they
are saying. Over in Soviet Rus

tenn of paying children to spy on
their parents. Nom and pop might
be sitting around the dinner table
and pop might say the late Joseph
Stain was not quite an angel. Son.
nv boy would run to the secret po-
lice and soon pop would be arrested
and sent to Siberia. We said It
was horrible and uncivilized when
we heard the Russians were doing
it; but here in Mississippi in 1856,
in the free land of America, we are
to have secret police. Spies VIII

Negro woman said she wished she

shame the way Negroes are treated.
In another part of the speech
regarded as highly significant the
sneaker called for the coming to-
gether of people of goodwill to
make a beginning towards the So

Negro Opera
CONTINUED from Page One

more than Is years ago to a lib
retto by John Frederick Matthews.
The story deals with the triumph
and tragedy Of Dessalines, the first
King of Haiti, who led the Black
Republic to freedom in 1902. When
he attempted to stamp out the prac-
tice of voodoo rites, however he
was assassinated.
This role was sung with becom-
ing dignity and power by McHenry
Doatwright, a Boston baritone who
has been winning his way to the
front in concert and opera. Though
the tcssitura was high for bari
tone, Mr.. Boatwright managed the
top notes with apparent ease. In
matters of musicianship, vocal
beauty, and poise, he was COM
pletely secure. He won braves
from a large, admiring audience.
Juanita King sang the role of
Defilee, Dessalines' sweetheart who
refuses to become his queen.
Though her words were not al
ways comprehensive, her clear
and beautiful soprano was pleas
ure to hear.
Adelaide Boatner's contralto was
unusual in it's comber timbre and
mysterious sound, though she, too,
had trouble with enunciation. Her
voice lent conviction to the role of
Mougali, a voodoo priestess con-
demned by Dessalines.
DR.. White wrote his best music
for the role Of Dessalines. Several
arias evolved with fine lyrical
line and built to dramatic climax,
but the opera, as it now stands, is
artistically unsuccessful in spite of
many pages of intriguing music.
Dr.. White has turned out piece
combining elements of grand opera
with folk opera. There are dance

sequences in which the music takes
on rhythmic, native Tilt. With
some judicious pruning (there are
many bars that would never be
missed), plus some decomposition
to build climaxes when required,
"Ouanga" could be fashioned into
a workable opera.
Delayed Response
But now the listener is often re-
quired to wait through musical in
terludes between a question asked
by one singer and an answer from
another. This flaw brought an un-
wanted laugh from the audience
when Dessalines asked Defilee if
she would be his queen, and then,
after a wait of several measures,

During the speech, copies of
which was distributed to members
of the press in advance, and which
vas being broadcast over a local
radio station, and which bore the
title, "The Desegregation Cam
paign," the speaker cited the prog
ress of desegregation in the Dis
trict of Columbia, West Virginia,
Oklahoma, Delaware, Kentucky,
Maryland, Arkansas and Texas.
Speaking in regard to the state
of Mississippi, where he said his
parents had been born in the town
of Holly Springs and received their
education at Rust College before
migrating to the north, he criti-
cized the denial of Negro right to
vote, the various reprisal measure
being taking against Negro citi-
zens of the state for expressing
opinions in support of the de-

DR.. Whites score does not al
ways underline the drama of the
text, and when one expected peak
to arrive in the music that paral-
ed climax in the story-the as
sassination of Dessalines, for in

things can be remedied. There is
much that is basically good in DIR.
