gomery City Commission and the
boycott-plagued bus company
were turned down fatty by Ne
groes at a meeting called to con-
slider the compromise proposal.
The Rev. Ralph ID. Alternately,
chairman Of the negotiating
committee, gave the vote a
gainst accepting the proposal as
1898 to 2.
The compromise plan called for
reservation Of the front 10 seats
Of each bus for whites and the
rear 10 for Negroes, and the re-
naming seats in the middle sec
ton on first come, first served"
basis.
In a prepared statement follow
ing the meeting, Rev. Alternately
said Negroes would gain practical
ly no concession under the COM
promise proposal and would
have to return TO the buses with
increased rates besides" (Bus
fares have been raised from 10
cents to IS cents since the boycott
started.)
I'VE have walked for IL weeks
in the cold and rain" the Negro
minister said, Now the weather
Is warming up. Therefore, we will
walk on until some better propo-
sails are forthcoming from our city
fathers"
Rev. Alternately said "the pro-
test Is still on, amp approximate
~ $4,000 Negroes have stated
that they win continue 10 walk"
Since the boycott began in early
December, an estimated s5-95 per-
cent of the Negroes who normally
used the buses for transportation
have refused 10 ride them. Some
! have used taxicabs TO get TO work
and others have depended on a
highly organized car pool operat-
ing with military precision.

Granger Warns
Against HYsferiu
On Inteqrufion

Louisville amp Lester b.
Granger, executive director of the
National Urban League, has de-
plored hysteria on the part Of
either friends or foes of racial in
tegration.
Addressing a dinner opening the
annual membership campaign of
the Louisville Urban League,
Granger said, Integrity and OBJ
jectiWty" must be the approach
in this period of crisis in Ameri-
can racial affairs"
He said that because of the
heated emotions surrounding the
Indignation issue, there is a de-
plorable amount of impotence to-
ward those who speak effectively
and with integrity.
Granger noted many persons

six months in Jail and $1,000 fine.

on the jury, voted on the indict-
ments. Editors Note. We can
guess how he voted, knowing head

The grand jury report warned
that violence Is inevitable" in
Montgomery ~ we continue on
our present course Of race rela-

The report said the attack ON
Montgomery segregation laws
by the NAACP il primarily re-
spOnsible for the current racial
unrest In Montgomery.
"Distrust. dislike and hatred are
being taught In community
which for more than a generation
has enjoyed exemplary race rela-
lions, the report declared,
The grand jury added that I'VE
intend TO maintain" segregation in
schools, public transportation "and
elsewhere"
The boycott began Dec g. as
a protest against the arrest Of
Mrs. Rosa Parks, n Negro seam

TO the rear OF the bus. She was
fined $i4 after Circuit Judge Eu-
