Does every organization have to
be communist inspired Is the
Mothers League OF Little Rock
Communist inspired?
The Rev Wesley Pruden, pas
tor of the Broadmoor Baptist
church of Little Rock, asked the
Mothers League to oppose segre-
CATION in a christian way. l am
wondering how could that be
done. when Jesus taught ODE
dience to those in authority?
Certainly the Supreme Court is
the Highest Court in the Land.
| am making an honest appeal
to all Negro Mothers and to all
Christian Mothers, while many
organizations are being formed
to oppose the ruling of the SUI
preme Court. let us form Pray
er Band Groups, let us pray for
the leaders of our great Nation.
Let US pray while others are
lying awake at night trying to
make plans to over-power our
Government.
Remember, All things work to-
gether for good to those who love
God. Also remember how God
took care of Moses and David.
God directed a small stone from
David's hand which killed the
mighty giant. Just little while

swept a building from around a

Dear Editor
What a hypocritical State your
State Of Arkansas must be. Hea-
veand
When the right-to-work law
was proposed in Arkansas the
pious politicians and even more
pious Rabbits Of your territory
poured out spells like a preacher
burying a millionaire defending
the right Of all to work ana
slave for whatever these Rabbits
felt compelled to pay for this
slavery. But how astonishing that
these same mountebanks never
ralsad a finger in defensive of
the right to school for children

When it vas learned by the
mob that the Negroes had been
taken out Of the school, the mob
reluctantly began to disperse.
and by midafternoon, the mob's
attention was being conferred on
how to terrorize the Negro eiti-
zens that mite. Not only were
the Negro citizens terrorized, but
a Authorizing police force and
sheriff department, augmented by
state troopers, experienced a mite
that viii not soon be forgotten.
And to the departments of the
three groups, the citizens Of Lit

gratitude.

states chief executive and the
previous protection of over $50
National Guards. but thru firm
ness with a desire TO uphold the
law which had been flouted for
three weeks, saved the city of
Little Rock from further dis
grace.
Newsmen Whipped
Monday morning following the
removal of the guards, who had
given encouragement and pro-
lection to the mob That had be-
come accustomed to having its
way. created quite Juror when
Negro Newsmen appeared on the
scene to cover the story of the
Negro children entering the
the school The mob of several
hundred with animal-like fury
bounced on the newsmen of col
or. and in the excitement work
ed over several white newanen
from the nations most noted
media of information. This was
at 8:45. While the b1ood-thirsty
mob in the capital city of the
Wonder State was wreaking its
Vengeance on "despicable" blacks,
the nine children who had pre-
viously enrolled in the school,,
entered practically unnoticed.
When the mob discovered that
quest for blood of any black, had
led it from its original prey, all
hell broke loose A strong cord
ion Of police supported by barri-
cades of brick walls, kept the
Negro kids safe. After the mob
found itself stymied from reach
ing the children, and no blacks
in the immediate territory, their
activities were then turned on
newsmen of its own color who
had betrayed the group because
they had not deviated from the
power of reasoning.
Alerted police rushed to the
rescue of the attacked men and
escorted them to the city hall
where an area of aafetys was
more evidenced, but with mob
tension still present, thru the
presence of many segregationists
who filled the isles in the hall
Of municipal justice.
Motorists Attacked
With no black in the vicinity
of the school area to appease the
anger of the mob that had trip
pied in number, near the noon
hour, new prey was sought.
Unsuspecting Negro motorists
were attacked on the main thoro-
farce adjacent to the school area
while passing. A filling station
where a Negro motorist was
servicing his car, was invaded,
and considerable damage was
done to his automobile, aside
from personal attacks on Negroes
present.
TIE tension from the hate in
spired mob, was felt among the
kindergarten group A demon
stration Of throwing was evidenc-
ed by white and Negro tots near
a Catholic school filled with Ne
groe9 not too far from the Cen
trail school area.
Negro Children Removed
The safety Of the Negro child
rem became cause for alarm a.
round the noon hour, when the
mob had grown out Of proper
ton Of any local. county or state
control. But due to the consist
ent effort and the fidelity to
his position as assistant chief Of
police, Gene Smith escorted the
children out and from the school,
while the mob was still hunt
ing outside blacks to further it1
vengeance, courageous city police
delivered the children safely to
their homes.
Children Accepted

had only praise for the way the
