If there were any adverse
meaning to these charges. that
should have been decided many
months ago. I have read and
sweated over the 525 pages in
the transcript, and 1 agree whole
heartedly with the testimony
given by two Of the subjects
superiors. They said it would be
in the national interest to restore
the subject and they would like
to have him back and working
under his secret clearance.
|"Whot troubles me is how (he)
was considered os q prey by
the Soviets."
The only people who remain
in doubt about the subject appear
to be the hearing board members
and its counsel who prosecuted
the case. But this question of
judgment is not before us at the
moment. What troubles me is
how the subject was considered
as prey by the Soviets.
The reason comes to light with
just little thought.
How did the subject live after
being suspended IA dreary
months ago? He and his family
began by living out of his small
savings while he tramped the
streets each day looking for
work.
For the remaining 10 months
Iof 1855, he was denied employ
ment of any kind. He went to
high grade, quality employment
agencies. They could sell the
subjects talent, for analytical
Istatisticians are in demand, but
they could not and would not
try to merchandise the cloud
under which he struggled.
The subject got an offer to
sell real estate. But nothing
came of this. The District of
Columbia License Department
wanted the subjects security
file and case transcript. He had
sufficient pride to tell them to
shove the application under the
desk and leave it there.
The subject was encouraged
to sell insurance. Again the
License Department had a form.

Acts And Attitudes

The Supreme Court has refused to review the ruling
of the Federal Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Court that there administrative difficulties in
the way of admitting Negroes to the Mansfield Texas,
public schools The difficulties, the appeals court had
said arose out of local climate of opinion"
The Clinton Tennessee, School Board asks that the
Federal Department of Justice enforce the ruling of the
local federal court ordering desegregaon of Clntons
public schools and the injunction issued against inter-
ference with it, The board says has obeyed and di
rected esegregatOn and is doing its best to MAINTAIN
order within the schools But outside opinion has nur
tured outside harassment of Negro pupils The board
now feels compelled to close the high school.
These two developments bring to the fore two
issues: Local climate of opinion" overt acts
growing out of that climate And the responsibilities OF
local. state, and federal governments respectively to
halt which violate the peace of individuals and COM
munitieS.
1t is the climate of opinion that, of course, will
determine the shape of any lasting adjustment to the
desegregatOn decision and of future accommodations of
each race the other And it is being increasingly
realized that major changes must come about commun-
ity by community
But overt acts of violence or intimidation of
another order The Clinton board is correct in contend
ing it can be responsible only for conduct within the
schools And the hghschool principal has declared he
will expel any white pupil found moesting Negro
pupil.
Prime responsibility for order and protection of
persons within the community rests upon local officials
and after them those of the state Tennessee has as
yet shown signs of abdcaon. So the ordinary RENE
dies thus far have not been exhausted.
AS for the federal government: 1t cannot expect
bv legal steps to change local sentiment Nor could it
properly usurp local state police functions. But it
can proceed persisently against individuals and cOmb
nations who undertake to obstruct federal court de-
creeS.
Acts and attitudes These two words epitomize the
dual nature of the front on which solutions to this
complex racial problem must be sought.-The Christ
ian Science Monitor.

superior to those of industrialized
Africans in many parts of Africa
and probably, too, to the exist
ence of peasantry in many parts
of Europe.
But they are infinitely inferior
to those of white mine workers on
the Copperbelt who, protected from
African competition by the color
bar, earn wages beneath 10 and
IA times higher.
The unions answer to all this
is that in the absence of an At
rican franchise in Northern Rho
desia, the expression of political
opinion is necessarily limited to a
few individuals, and it is true that
membership of the mine workers
union and of the African National
Congress often overlaps.
But it vehemently denies that
the union is activated by political
motives and steadfastly maintains
that company outstanding, vic
limitation, and so on is what I'M
dercuts the security of the Afri-
can mine worker" and contributes
to his unrest. This unrest and
repression of Africans is being
maintained, it claims, by the divi-
sion of labor at company insti-
cation.

Plea To Army Reported
Immediately after General Mag

ed that after meeting of the gen.

itary districts the Army had cut
lined the "grave situation" created
by terrorists all over the country
to the Supreme Court members.
He said the judges asked the Army

Voters

The president contended that the
election of the five person COM
mittee from the II precincts was
a matter for the people in the pre-
cincts. However, another matter
of Importance came up about these
elections as there are more than
IL precincts in Jackson where Ne
groes live and vote. Since these
precincts want representation, it
was decided that persons from
these precincts should be on the
committee named. The complica-
ton resulted because of the fact
that the calendar has only II pages
one for each month in the year,
and that only five pictures will re-
suit in uniformity.
The precinct elections will be
held in most precincts Sunday. The
time and places will be made
through the churches, clubs and
personal contact. Ballots will be
on hand and most likely citizens
may be allowed to go by and mark
them any time of the day.
He had this to say in launching
the membership campaign: Il think
our greatest weakness lies in the
fact that we have said too little
about money. On the one hand,
people will come to see about a
thing that they put their money
in; and on the other hand, we will
only get support after we have
done our best. The Hungarian
people gave all they had for free
dom. They sought it by the giving
of their lives and as result, the
world has come to their rescue.
| don't ask any one to give his life,
it is not necessary. l don't ask
you to give your jobs, that is not
necessary. l only ask you to pay
an annual membership fee Of one
dollar. That will not hurt any one.
Every registered voter should be
a member of the Progressive Vot-
ers' League and every person who
hopes to enjoy freedom should join.
These words will flow from the
lips of the leaders of this organi-
zatioon: "Join the League; pay
your poll tax; register and do these
things that will make Jackson a

Report Fewer
Dixie Negroes
Moving North

Montgomery, Ala, Dec. II =
Fewer Southern Negroes are
thinking now of moving to the
North as result of the Mont
gomery example of passive resis-
lance to segregation, a leader of
the Negro bus boycott here said
last night.
The Rev. Ralph D. Alternately
summed up week-long Institute
on Nonviolence and Social Change"
as ga real religious experience"
for Negro leaders.
The institute was held to mark
the first anniversary of the boy
colt and to spread the doctrine of
united opposition to segregation
among Southern Negroes.
Alternately was chairman of the
institute which closed with a church
meeting of more than 5000 per-
sons yesterday. He estimated total
attendance at institute sessions at
about 10000 with more than 1000
individuals from outside Montgom-
cry attending.
Some came from as far away as
Sweden and Puerto Rico, he said.
This was not a rabble-rousing
thing, not a celebration" Aber-
nathy said. at was a movement to
prepare people for the crucial days
present and those ahead
The Baptist minister referred to
the expected delivery to Montgom-
cry shortly of a US. Supreme
Court ruling that city bus segrega-
ton is unconstitutional, putting in
to effect local federal court ban
on enforcement of bus segregation.
Both the city of Montgomery and
the State of Alabama have asked
rehearings of the unanimous de-
cision by the high court. A court
official said before the requests
were made that the decision would
be transmitted to Montgomery
about next Wednesday.
A city-wide mass meeting is
planned for Wednesday night be-
cause "the mandate might be
down." Alternately said.
Alternately said that the insti-
tute "reveals that democracy can
and will work in America, because
people of all races came to Mont
gomery, lived in our homes, ate
at our tables, fellowshipped with
us. brought US messages of en-
enlargement"

DON'T ADD OR TAKE AWAY
FROM GODS WORD.
Be sure you are marrying the
right one
Don't marry just because you are
grown
Sometimes you will marry the
other mans wife
And think you are marrying your
own.
Love makes man and wife today
Gods love makes happy home
Wealth doesn't make a happy life
When you fail to marry your own.

Millions are living together today
Claiming they are man and wife
Children running the streets at
night
And their mothers and fathers i'll

I am preaching for a oneless home
That God joins together with love
You get a three dollar deed from
the County Court
And your license Of love from God
above.
That which God joins together
Let no man put asunder
That which man puts together
If they stay together it's wonder.
vi
When you buy a lot you get a deed
And fence it all in at last
Then you put good plain sign
Notice please do not trespass.
VII
The deed you call your license
No more than a deed for your
land
1t gives you the rights over this
woman
Above any other living man.

When YOU mix Gods great world
From a big A to a big q
There will be no Black race to be
found
Thev will most all be like me.

You may watch the sun when 1t

Also when it goes down
You cannot change the color OF the

Like you did the e p0tlieker hound
If the world doesn't get any better
Then God will bring his revenge

God,
And the Father has the power
