situation to exist like the one in
volving Sara Williams of North
western.
Sara won first prize in orintho-
logy over all students in South
Florida public, private and paro-
Gross Breeding Parakeets." The
chial schools for her project on
next step for any enthusiastic and
brilliant science student would be
to compete with other students
from other areas of the state. But
according to reliable reports, Sara
would be wasting her time to take
her project to the University of
Florida in Gainesville to enter it
in the state meet. It seems that
this state meeting-yes, you've
guSsed it's only open to white
students.
I say now to Sara Williams and
all other Negro students in the
South, do not he discouraged. The
NAACP is fighting for you, for
your friends in Northwestern and
in all the other segregated schools
in this area. You may feel dis
heartened about your science pro-
ject, but keep on with your
scientific research anyway. We
know it will not be too long be-
fore the ridiculous and tragic
barrier of racial discrimination
will be torn down. Your country
needs your talents, Sara, and the
South needs you, too. Just give
us a little more time to premant-
ly knock down the barrier of dis
elimination.
The NAACP has always known
that America could not be really
strong If false barriers were put
UP against people because Of race,
color or creed. We have fought
for over As years to end this
7enSeless waste in education, in
labor and in industry, and we can
nov see the end of our fight. If
country does not utilize its poten-
tialities, sooner or later its
strength will diminish.
1t is not too late for the United
States to start training future
scientists, future doctors and law
yerS, future economists and future
leaders from all sections, races
and colors of Americans. To do
this, America needs to provide UNI
segregated education for all
AmericanS-not in FIVE years, not
in ten years, but right now.
Will we deny vitality necessary
opportunities to American youth
because of their color, simply be-
cause of habit or tradition Pare
we honest enough in this crisis
confronting our country to face
facts here in the South, or will
we still hide our heads like oa-
triches in the sands of Southern
custom and habit?
Don't give up, Sara Williams.
Tell your friends not to give up.
A wind is rising, and is blowing
away the last vestiges of bigotry

The problems of education in
the United States today are not
confined to one area or one, city.
The pressing needs of American
education have become known to
us through personal experience,
TV and the radio and countless
articles in nationally published
magazines. Forums, PTA and civic
groups are constantly discussing
the shortage Of teachers, the in
adequacies of our school facilities
and how to best to give our
children what they need to pre-
pare them for Life.
Speaking in general terms,
there is no doubt burt that there
is a crisis in education exhisting
today in the United States And
this crisis concern every Ameri-
can in every section of our coun-
try.
Speaking specifically, one Of the
most crying needs In our country
today is for more and better train
ed scientists. This particula r
shortage exists in almost every
area of science. In the field of
scientific research alone, is ADJ
Solutely imperative that the Unit
ed States at Least keep step with
other countries. Not to train or
have the facilities to train future
scientists could well mean ma
tional disaster.
Here in the South, like other
sections of our country, the acute
needs of education are felt. But to
the two factors mentioned above,
a third must be added. Limiting
and circumScribing education Cor
Negroes in the South are segregat-
ed schools. Although the Supreme
Court has said and ruled other
wise, the fact remains: education
is segregated in the South. and
the white South is fighting des-
perately to maintain the status
quo at present.
Actually, in cold facts, what do
segregated schools mean to you
and me?g 1t means this: In the
South, if your skin is not white
you are severely limited in your
choice of school. You go to the
schools set aside for you, or not
at all. If you want to Study law
at the University of Florida, if
your skin is not white, forget it.
You may go to FAMU, or go out
of the state. Otherwise, you don't
become a Lawyer.
If you want to take a specific
course that isn't given in your
segregated school, you'd better
forget that, too, because you take
what's there or not al all. This is
segregated education, operating
for years under the false front of
Separate but equal.
These are the un-American con-
ditions that the NAACP is fight
ing to eliminate. Segregation in
education has priority on our list,
and we will not stop until we
have made 1t impossible for a

Queries, Twining Brief
Senators on Missiles

Chairman Russell Of the Sen
ate Armed Services Committee
said today the United States
hopes to have the l.5O0-mile
intermediate ballistic missile in
operation at q reasonably early
date.
He made the statement fol-
lowing a closed-door briefing the
committee received today from
Air Force Secretary Quarles and
Gen. Nathan Twining.
Senator Russell said he did
not consider that the evidence
completely bore out recent re-
ports of a breakthrough on the
intermediate missile. in the
sense that there has been any
single spectacular development
But he added that the work is
going ahead as reasonably fast
as could be hoped for. He ex-
planned that his estimate that
it would be operational at q
reasonably early date meant a
matter of months rather thar
days. He also indicated thai
work on the long range missile
is not as far advanced.
The Georgia Senator also told
reporters the committee learned
that improvements are being
made on the B-52 plane which
