OUR OPINION ::
You're Wasting Time, Mr.. Charley /.

The of three Negroes have been given to by
parents of children attending Central hi school, These Me-
groes according to the parents trying encourage them
to withdraw their children from the former al-whte hi
school.
This is interesting, but not all surprising know
ing the tactics of the Negroes involved opinion
it is waste of time No parent going ieopardize the
life of his child subject his child insults; have his
child called spat and made targets for human
ty to win constitutional rights and then submit just when
the battle is about
What could induce Negroes encourage parents along
that line? Surely perpeuaton of segregation possibly
help either of the three Negroes by the parents
Only of the Negroes has children of elementary hi
school ages The other have children passed
that category Therefore it opinion that this advice
must have from Mr. Charley, with stipulated fee to
be passed to the Negro parents withdraw their child
Not only is obvious, but it stated by whites
that the only solution the crisis that being faced in
Little Rock today is for the parents to withdraw their
children.
We readily understand the white mans point Of
view for wanting segregation continue in the schools of
Little Rock If segregation is destroyed the white mans
claim for superiority would also destroyed His
prejudice has annhilated any ambition improve himself
and he is perfectly Being than the Negro"
If these Negroes who encouraging the parents to
withdraw their children from Central hi school being
paid for this disservce in opinion the pay isn't worth
IT, And If they not being compensated their efforts
stil not worth it, And again. if they absorbed
in southern traditions and enaved the slave-mas
relationship for the sake Of whatever the gods may
we say here, let them keep their feelings to themsev
for they merely making themselves ridiculous
wasting their time, and the time Of the parents

Myths EmpIoy'd by
Segregationists
Analysed Here

MIDDLETOWN, Conn. Address
ing the student assembly of Wes-
leyan university here, DIR. John
A. Morsell, assistant to the execu-
tive secretary of the NAACP. an
alyzed six myths Of segregation"
which, he charged, some SOUTH
erners invoke in their resistance
to the desegregation orders of the
United States Supreme Court.
This body of mythology, he told
the students on Dec. IL, has been
used by the southern leadership
as "a calculated political gambit,
designed to entrench for another
generation or so a provincial re-
gional control which had been
badly threatened In the elections
Of 1852 and 1856" Not only do
they foster these myths among
southerners; they also export
them to the north in the hope of
enlisting segregation support in
this region, DR. Morsell asserted.
Among the dixie legends he
detailed were the myth of segre-
cations antiquity, the myth that
segregation is a southern problem
which southerners know best how
to handle, the states rights myth,
the myth of the Negroes inherent
infsriority, and the myth that it's
time for a breathing spell" in
the civil rights movement.
