to report for induction again
next Monday. but Gen. Hershey
in effect went over the boards
head and postponed it indefi-
nitely.
Mr.. Gray held a draft exemp-
ton because he was an assistant
pastor in Montgomery church,
but when the boycott first at
tracted attention and he was its
legal voice, Mr.. Gray was reclas-

Mr.. Fleming noted here that
developments in this field are
not a reliable measure of the
extent of Negro representation.
For example, he said, in 1854
Negroes already we're serving on
city councils in at least IL
Southern cities and held elective
or appointive Office in more than
20 others.
In public housing, Mr.. Flem-
ing found Segregation not only
deeply entrenched but virtually
unchallenged in the South"
Even so. this field was not
without its exceptions. Negroes
were living in public housing
projects occupied by whites in
Taylor and Crystal City. Tex;
Baltimore, Charleston. w. Va,
st. Louis, and Rayne, La.
AS for transportation, Mr..
Fleming reported that local
transit systems known to have
dropped segregation were found
in Texas. Virginia. North Caro-
lima. Alabama, Tennessee, Okla
homa and Arkansas.
Segregation and Religion
Among religious groups 20
newly migrated ministerial as
sociations were counted-four
with elected Negro officers. Mr..
Fleming noted, however. 1.-The
overwhelming m a jority Of
churches continue to serve either
white or Negro congregations.
although at least 10 formerly
white churches accepted Negro
members"
AS for hotels, restaurants and
theaters, Mr.. Fleming observed,
"desegregation in public accom-
modationS and theaterS has been
confined so far mainly to cities
in the border States, chiefly St.
Louis and Louisville.
Instances of new desegre-
gated seating in motion picture
theaters were found in five bor-
der States cities, and some eating
places began serving both races
in a like number of commune
ties"
Why did the council undertake
the survey at this time? Mr.,
Fleming explained in his sum-
mary: 1T is universally recog-
nized that this is a time Of
trouble in the South :. in recent
months dissension and conflict
have dominated the news from
the region. The danger is that
Southerners themselves. to say
nothing of people elsewhere, will
be blinded to the constructive
evidence and will surrender to
fear and disbursement"

.Kasper Plans
Drive in South

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Sept. is
R.-Segregatiohist John Kaspel
today said a rowing force
of fearless patriots" is needed
ito help schools defend them
selves against racial indignation
The 26-year-old New jersey
native. a former Washington anc
New York bookshop operator, an.
nounced plans for a campaign
to organize White Citizens Coun-
ellis throughout the South. He
planned to speak to a council
rally at Admission. Ala. tonight
Mr.. Kasper said he would re-
turn next week to Tennessee
where he led demonstrations
against racial indignation at the
Clinton High School, and will
speak at Knoxville a week from
tomorrow.
Mr. Kasper was questioned
about a statement he made to
a council gathering in Birming-
ham this week.
Explains Statement
eve need all the rabble-rousers
we can GET" Mr.. Kasper said.
In the future you may be a
rowing force to step in when
people try to ruin our southern
way of life"
ITS a statement which is
emimently clear to the white
people fighting for segregation
and constitutional rights and
states rights" Mr.. Kasper said.
Elsewhere it's been said the
Colonial militia were rabble
rousers. The patriots who OBJ
posed British tyranny, and our
founding fathers who wrote the
Constitution, were often de-
scribed in the yellow press of
that day as rabble rousers and
agitators.
"Just as the NAACP (National
association for the Advancement
OF Colored People) interferes in
the local affairs of people and
creates race hatred and tension
and in the same manner as the
Federal Government becomes a
friend of the court in attempt
ing to destroy the white race
as at Hoxie, Ark, we feel it is
our duty to help the defenseless
and the demoralized white peo-
pie wherever they've been
brought under attack by the
NAACP and our Communist-in-
spired Federal Government.
Wants All Types of Aid
by a rowing force we mean
simply a hard core of fearless
patriots who will give aid-ma-
terial, physical. moral and every
other type-to any school board
that has been brought under
siege by the race mongrelifers. "
Mr.. Kasper's call for a "rov-
ing force" brought no immediate
reaction from other Citizens
Council leaders.
Nj. Kasper did not go into
detail on his plans for the south
wide organizational drive, ex-
cept to say that he would main
tain headquarters somewhere
in Tennessee.
His closest associate in the
movement has been Asa E. (Ace)
Carter, head of the Alabama
White Citizens Council with
headquarters here. Membership
in both groups is limited to
white Christians.
