in the Jackson area.
! Mr.. Jackson is no stranger to
! the Jackson public, having served
as general manager Of the Alamo
& Booker T. Theatres for the past
Is years. During this period of
service Mr.. Jackson found time
to work with many religious, civic
/ and social organizations about the
,icity. His work with the youth in

An Indictment

Who gains from violence? Who is hurt by it?
No one gains: All are hurt. When riots occur it
is not only the victims who injured 1t is all the
people, the community, the state, the nation, who
hurt.
1t takes groups to riot. Yes, the roting is done
by irresponsible mobs but it is indictment of the
whole community, of the whole people = for mobs do
not rise by themselves No mob riot unless respect
for law is at low ebb. Mobs composed of the
educated Mobs do not arise from those who have
been taught to restrain their tepers to control their
actions to meet their problems in restrained and quiet
manner
There are two questions to be asked whenever mob
violence flares up And the first and foremost is who
is back of ?" ITO whose advantages is it that there
be vioence?" Surely there is advantage to the
community Butt makes good strong anti-Amerlcan
story in many parts of the world 1t makes nation
look weak and troube-ridden. Our Wanted strength
seems but paper-mache shield. Think that over
and see where it leads.
The second question is What is the problem-and
how may be setted?" There is one thing sure-there
is no solution in mob violence ~'
Riots are open confession of inferlority. In
democracy there need to resort to force to express
ones self The place to do that is at the ballot box We
have the power to change anything do not like But
cannot do itand we must not do itexcept in legal
way.
p. We may bewail violence. We may condemn those
who riot. But, whether like it not-when we per-
NIT encourage or look aside when violence &C.
ours we are putting ourselves the plane of those
whom despse for their reliance brute force And
we are letting down ourselves community and our
country.
Mob violence is foreign thing. In democracy
it can never be excused the grounds of necessity
Nor must condone excuse it. There is no
If we believe in our way of fe it's freedoms and it's
responsibilities let us prove faith by putting into
practice the ethics in which we believe. We must not
let mob violence arise here.

Mr.. Greene:
want to commend you very
highly for the wisdom and broad
ness of your interview, Negroes
have become the Victims of Hate"
This is something terrible that
has come to our Southland. l am
of the deep south and am old and
have seen my country grow very
great. l have seen the Southern
Negro progress as no people have
done here, in so short time. My
friendship for the Negro race is
deep and sincere, and yet because
l see thru eyes whose perspective
has been vastly heightened by my
own experiences, and long viewing
the hurt of the world, l don't be-
lieve that indignation is the answ-
er.
Each race has its pride and is
culture. The Negro race has a
proud heritage. Why should any
one, NAACP or other wise seek to
toss that in total integration as
some are advocating.
/ have long felt that there were
privileges not given the Negro that
he should have.
Buses are public utilities. each
one pays his fare and should not
be restricted as to where he sits.
If the leaders could take the prac-
tical view that you take and go in
quietness and dignity much could
be accomplished. There are many
very fine leaders among your race,
of such l would count the writer
of "Dont Desegregate." am en-
closing a clipping from Charleston
News and Courier that struck me
as being very timely. It may be
yours. have seen it.

Coffee Rise Linked
To Supply Building

The Agriculture Department
blames bodybuilding for the
1856 climb in coffee prices.
The department said yester-
day world supplies of mild cof-
fees probably were adequate
this past winter to cover normal
world requirements" but could
not meet both current consump-
ton and bodybuilding needs.
1t added that purchasing in
creased latter late fall (l955)
reports from producing countries
indicated that mild coffee sup
plies would not be adequate to
meet apparent import require
ments."
This. It said, led to such heavy
buying that import levels Of
1953-4-when another scarcity
report sent prices to $1:35 a
pound-were surpassed"
