that If she could. she would

Hats Possible
With Glasses

Our feet may be q little
cold. but our heads are in the
clouds this time Of year. Every
woman has been thinking
Of her new spring bonnet.
There is nothing more exciting
than early glimpses Of straw.
flowers, and ribbon. This years
hats are ultrafeminine. Silhou-
cites are softer. colors more
romantic, and trim more ele-
CANT.
Don't think you can't wear
pretty hats If you wear glasses.
Too many women have this
lnisconception. Today's eye
glasses are not only fiattering
in color but also in shape.
Properly chosen eyeglasses
lend themselves to today's
fashions. There are, Of course.
three fashion principles to
keep in mind.
/. The hat should be wider
than the widest part Of your
glasses or hair-do. This fiatters
your face-shape and keeps
your glasses from competing
with your hat for attention.
Always when buying hats or
glasses look at them in a full
length mirror and see how
they look from the feet UP as
well as from the neck up.
2. The color Of the hat
should harmonic with the
color Of your frames. They
need not match in color. but
they should have the same
undertones so as not to clash.
Don't be afraid to get q hat
In q color contrasting with
your frames. provided that the
colors blend well together. n
3. The trim on your hat
should be kept simple rather
than elaborate. This does not
mean that the hat must be
tailored. It can be feminine
as well as formal. with the cor
rect use Of dressy fabrics and
trim. Avoid hanging flowers
or ribbons that come in con-
tact with youf, glasses and thus
make your face look cluttered.
Also keep away from face
wells. Simple elegance should
be the keynote.

testimony
Disputed By

The testimony of Governor J. P.
Coleman that Negroes have not
been inundated in Mississippi was
disputed by the State Association
Of the NAACP which charged that
police brutality is on the increase
in the state in a statement issued
here last Friday.
The State NAACP in answering
Governor Coleman's remarks be-
fore a Congressional committee
hearing on civil rights said the
legislation would be too late for
Chicago teenager Emmett Till and
two other Negroes allegedly killed
in race Incidents in the state dur
ing 1855.
It will not be too late for $685.
900 Negroes who still live in a
state where police brutality is on
the increase the statement said. 1t
will not be too late for Negroes
in the state who cannot get justice
in the courts, and where white
people take the law in their own
hands.
The statement said further that
Negroes who seek their civil rights
and human rights are subject to
economic reprisals and there have
been inequality in registration Of
voters.
The clerk in Clark County, very
recently refused to give Negroes
registration forms and turned them
away stating that he would permit
Negroes to register when he was
made to do so, the statement said.

colt of buses in johannesburg and
Pretoria has brought the bus sys-
TENS involved to virtual stand
still.
The boycott movement which
owed its origin to economic fac
tors, and increase in fares which
Africans considered beyond their
restricted means is now assuming
political overtones, and is becom-
ing a symbol of the clash between
the native African citizens and the
white government of the country.
The government charges that the
African National Congress is de-
liberately exploiting the boycott
for political means and intimidat-
ing some Africans who would con-
tinue to ride the buses. According
to Transport Minister Bob Schoe-
man he has issued a virtual dec
laration of war against the boy
cotters declaring that he will smash
the boycott. He is clamping down
on "pirate" transporters carrying
the workers to and from work and
urging white sympathizers to de-
sist giving lifts to Africans, and
is preserving commerce and indus
try to slice wages of absentees and
late-cOmers.
Summoned from Johannesburg to
Cape Town for discussions, an
emergency committee representing
commerce and industry and the
city council has called upon boy
cotters to halt the boycott.
But boycott leaders appear to
be digging in, determined to extend
their activities.
The increase against which the
Africans are boycotting amounts to
only two pennies day, but repre-
sents a goodly sum to some Afrl-
cans earning wretchedly low wages.
who are forced under segregation
laws to live in the farthest most
inaccessible spots from the city
centers.
The boycott appears now to be
rapidly losing its purely economic
character, and further incidents
might touch of widespread violence
Several sound arguments are ad-
vanced in favor Of increased bus
fares which appear not unreason-
able in the light of heavily in
creased running costs, but an amlc-
able agreement among the parties
involved, the bus companies de-
| handing their fares, the passengers
called upon to pay them, and the
employers whose regulation or
wages mainly control the extent
f.. which African workers can afforc
to pay appears difficult now that
the government has taken control
ruling out any consultation with
/ Africans.
There is however considerable
agreement with the views of 10

brose Reeves, a noted proponent
of African rights who says: The
boycott underlines a sharp widen
