name a candidate.
Mrs. Marx, who said that Mr..
HinckS had spoken at her invi-
tation, gave a speech in which
she suggested that similar mass
meetings be held by Negroes in
areas that have a large colored
population.
Cites Conditions
Mrs. Marx moved to Arlington
Is years ago from New York
City and has been active in
NAACP work for about nine
years. She said she had become
interested in this work because
of conditions at Arlington's
Hoffman Boston High School
for colored.
The housewife, who has an g.
year-old daughter in the fourth
grade, said that the motive for
her pro indignation activities
boiled down to the fact that lit
just doesn't seem fair" to keep
segregation.
E. B. Henderson, retired Negro
educator who lives in Falls
Church. was elected president of
the Virginia NAACP chapter for
a one-year term. He has served
previously as president.
The State NAACP convention
ended with a warning that the
fight for school indignation must

the Nations courts.
DR.. Mordecai johnson, presi-
dent of Howard University. told
the closing convention session
yesterday that victory in the in
tegration battle is within
due process of law and without
violence"
Scores Legislature
He said the recent action Of
the Virginia Legislature. giving
Gov. Stanley the power to shut
off State funds from any school
which integrates, was "delib-
crate disobedience" TO the United
States Constitution.
BY this act, the State has set
aside the democratic way Of life
and set up a dictatorship which
gives the Governor the right to
destroy the school system" DR..
johnson told the 1000 delegates,
DR.. Johnson's address came at
a freedom rally" at which it
was announced that 1913. 1868 had
been raised during the three-day

Prisoner

Out in the Silver Spring
intermediate School area,
one couple was more than
somewhat puzzled by a re-
port from their first-grade
son.
For several days he talked
about the new prisoner at
school. They queried him
closely, hut could get no fur
ther information about the
mysterious prisoner.
They have since learned

the new principal, Fred L.
Barnette.

A Silver Spring lady writes:
"A young man and his re-
cent bride were at a reception
held in a Georgetown home
noted more for its charm than
elbow room and in the festive
crush, the young man was
startled to see his wife's head
jerk back. The matter was
soon cleared.
"A lady back to back with
the young wife-and wearing
a similar fur scarf-had
reached back to adjust her
own furpiece with a quick
forward jerk, but had grasped
that of the young wife's in
stead"

The
Rambler
Now All Is Merry
On Merry-Go- Round
By JACK JONAS

The Rev. Carleton Barnwell,
co-ordinator at the Protestant
Episcopal Theological Semi
nary at Alexandria, heard
from a former parishioner
down in Lynchburg, Va, last
week.
Henry Smiley" DR.. Barn.
we'll said, was a pariShioner
of mine until l left Lynchburg
to come to the Seminary in
1949-and a very handy
parishioner."
The story concerns Mr..
Smiley's troubles with a car
nival type airplane ride. MIR.
Smiley set up the ride in his
backyard and asked the
neighbor kids to come around
and try it out.
They did, with shouts of
glee. But the shouts turned to
groanS of despair, and many
of them became ill--including
Mr.. Smiley'S own, Burton, 8,
and Knight, 7,
Mr.. Smiley told his problem
to an old carnival hand. How
was it set to revolve, the carny
asked-clockwise or counter
clockwise? Mr.. Smiley thought
a moment, then said, Clock
wise"
That, the carnival man said,
was the difficulty. In the
Northern Hemisphere, he said,
all rides are set to go counter
clockwise-on the same prin-
ciple as whirlpools, hurricanes
and the water in the bath
room wash basin when it goes
down the drain. Otherwise,
the fun seekers become ILL.,.
Set 1t counterclockwise, he
said, and the trouble would
end.
When Mr.. Smiley set up his
airplane ride at the recent st.
Pauls Fair at Virginia Episco-
pal School, he followed the
carny's advice. Nobody got
sick.
Il knew about Whirlpools
and hurricanes" DR.. Barnwell
said, but 1 never knew about
merry go-roundS."
