Columbia, S. C.-The presi-

State NAACP has indicated
that the Association will ex-
plore the possibility of test
ing in the courts a new state
law which requires applicants
for teaching jobs and other
public positions to list all
their memberships.
Rev. James NJ. Hinton of
this city described the new
statute as an "unwise meas
ure" and expressed the opin-
ion that it may fall if and
when brought into the feder-
al courts"
The law, just passed, re-
places another statute under
legal attack by the NAACP.
The repealed measure barred
NAACP members from en-
ployment by the state or by
any city or county in the
state. The case of some 20
Negro teachers who were dis
charged from their teaching
positions in Elloree, S. c., be-
cause they refused to sign

law was taken to the U. S.

Probation Is Not Getting
Away With Anything

Sometimes a community is
surprised to see a law-breaker
back at home, back on the
job, and living a normal life
only a short time after his
crime, and his trial in Circuit
Court.
Too, maybe the community
knows he was given a four
year sentence and placed on
probation for four years" 1t
is the probation they do not
understand. Is it d way of
getting out of something?
1t certainly is not: Any
time the conditions of proba-
ton are violated, the law
breaker can be ordered to
serve the sentence originally
imposed.
The general conditions of
probation are as follows:
1. Refrain from the viola
ton of any penal laws and
ordinances.
2. Live a clean, honest,
and temperate life.
3. Keep away from all UNI
desirable places.
4. Keep good company and
good hours.
5. Work regularly. When
out of work, notify the Pro-
baton Officer at once.
6. Do not leave or remain
away from the place you re-
side without permission of
the Probation Officer. Notify

GEORGIA MINISTER WARNS
SOUTH on RACE ISSUE

New York, May ia
prominent Georgia minister
today warned Southerners
they are no longer thinking
clearly on most fundamental
issues because of their ex-
IRENE sensitivity to the ra-
cial question.
This sensitivity, declared
the Rev. Robert B. Mcneil of
Columbus, Ga, proven S
SouthernerS from making
judgements about fundamen-
tails like freedom, democracy
and justice on an absolute
standard of right and wrong
because of "the presence of a
people for whom he must al
ways make an exception"
Writing in the new issue of
Look Magazine, the minister
said:
"The Southerner is acutely
sensitive these days. He will
accuse you of dragging in the
race issue when you honestly
meant no such implication.
THE issue is in every phase
of his life-the kind of wage
scale he will establish, to
whom he will sell his mer-
chandise, whom he will sup.
