NEWS OF THE NAACP
BY RUTH PERRY

Many who have read about the
Tallahassee bus protest do not
know of the incident which caus-
ed it. Here is the way it started,
according to Rev. c. K. Steele, in
an article in the December issue
of Crisis, the official magazine Of
the NAACP.
''On May 26, 1856, two young
women students of Florida A &
M University were asked to
stand rather than to occupy the
only available seat on a city
coach. They were ordered to
stand on this crowded bus simply
because white woman was on
the other end of the seat.
"The white lady did not object,
but the bus driver insisted that
it would be an objectionable sin
for these neatly clad college
women of color to share a seat
with white woman. But it so
happened that these young ladies
from "A & M had too much of
this new twentieth century Ne
gro blood in their veins to pay
their fare for segregated service.
The driver would not refund their
money, instead he had them ar
rested and carried to police head
quarters where they were charg-
ed with placing themselves in the
position of starting a riot.
"On Saturday night cross was
burned in front of their residence.
This was supposed to brighten the
young women and make of them
IAN example for the rest of the
students as well as for all Tai
lahaSsee Negroes. But thank
Godl instead it had the opposite
effect.
Roy wilkins, NAACP executive
secretary, had the unusual ex-
perience on November 4 of being
presented with two awards in one
day. They were from the B'nai
Birth Lodge of Brooklyn, New
York, and MI Omicron chapter
Jamaica, New York; of the
OltiCSd 1S1 L III Ii dLCIullL.%
The B'nai Birth award, pre-
scented to Mr.. Wilkins at the an
nual covenant breakfast of that
group, cited the NAACP official
"for his distinguished leadership
in the field of civil rights, his
eloquent espousal of our demo-
crate faith, and his courageous
leadership in the battle for de-
segregation.
The Omega Psi Phi Human
Relations Award to a resident of
Queens, noted that Mr.. Wilkins
has made outstanding achieve
mentS in the field of human re-
1ations."
All of us are familiar with the
fate of HungarianS In recent
weeks. And for months past, the
many acts of tyranny and discri-
mination against South African
Negroes have shocked and sad
dened us. Suppression of free
dom, then, is not thing confined
to one area, or one country of
the world, unfortunately.

Russia, Hungary or Poland. For

BY adopting him into the tribe.
At so tender an age Pocahontas could scarcely have
fallen seriously in love with Smith, But he became her

him and again saved his life.

The story Of Pocahontas has long been subject for
controversy. Critics point to q book called True

Pocahonas and call proof that Captain John Smith
knew her. But don't believe them The book

For the next six years PocahontaS glided through the
Virginia forests as lason between Powhatan and the
English. Only in her relations with the settlers did
POcahontas relax from her natural dignity into print
tive ways. At banquet in 1908 the Eneishmen were
startled to her leading band Of semi-nude Indian
madens in q ceremonial dance. Pocahontas herself was
clad only in erde Of otter skin. From her forehead
sprouted set Of deer anters.
When Smith was injured in a gunpowder explosion
and returned to England. Pocahonas avoided James,

newcomer. kidnapped and held her hostage for seven
Engishmen captured by her father.
PocahOntas was treated kindly by the colonists and
settled in happily with the family Of the Rev. Alexander
Whitaker. She learned Old World manners, sewing,
English and was instructed in religion. 'Powhatans

One Of Jamestown's original settlers,
soldier-adventurcT Smith was the first
white man Pocahontas saw. During the
first winter, Smith had dared icy forests
to trade trinkets for Indian corn. For his
bravery, he was captured BY the local
savaecs and condemned to die. He re-
ported what was to have been his death
scene in his General Historic" pub
ished in 1914:
Powhatan. fianked BY young wives,
sat on q ACKNOWLEDGEMENT couch.
Braves and squaws, their paint macabre
in the Pickering torchlieht, stood in rows
on either side. Several large stones were
dragged before PoWhatan's throne. The
Enelishman was forced to place his head
atop them. The executioner stood ready,
huge club in hand. The club was poised,
ready to descend when Pocahontas,
dashing through onlookers, flung herself
across Smiths body and, grading
Smiths head in her arms, laid her own
on his.
Compassionate Heroine
Smith described this extraordinarily
brave act in a letter to Queen Anne:
The Kings most deare and well beloved
daughter, being but childe Of II or -
yeares Of aee, whose compassionate pitt
full heart Of my desperate estate, gave me
cause to respect her. She hazarded the

with her father that ] was safely con-

therein, renowned publicly her Country

She was given the name Rebecca.
Declaration OF Love
In the meantime Pccahcntas had fallen
in love with John Role, member Of a
family with substantial estates in Nor

April, 1914, the 19-year-old Princess and
John Rolfe were married BY the Rev.
Whitaker. The bride was given away"
by her half-naked uncle while she herself
wore white muslin. Two years later the
couple sailed to England with Sir
Thomas and Uttamaton, one Of Pow

was their infant son, Thomas, named
after the Governor.

CHICAGO - CAMP - T h q
headless body of a man about rs
years old was sent to the morgue
here last week. for an autopsy to
ascertain the cause of death after
a plumber discovered the body
hanging between two walls In
the rear of basement where he
was working.
Merideth Townsend, the plum
Der, discovered the badly deconl-
posed body wedged between two
walls in the basement of 4012
ELLIS when he was employed TO
do work in the building. The head
had fallen from the body to the
floor apparently due to decompo-
Sition.
Summoning police, Townsend
stopped two motorcycle officers
and reported the find. The officers
relayed the message over their
radio to firemen, who along with
other police, rushed to the scene.
The walls of the building were
torn down in order to free the
body that was adorned in winter
clothes including an overcoat.
Police said there was no way of
of Immediately telling whether or
not the man died from violence.
It was assumed by police that the
body had been wedged between
the walls since last winter.
The body was not identified I'M
mediately, but will be talcen to
the crime laboratory for idenkifi-
cation.
Detective Edward Mahoney of
the Sixth District suggested that
the man may have been drinking
last winter and crawled between
the walls to keep warm.
Neighbors had reported bad
odors around the building with
the coming of summer, but resi-
dents in the large apartment
building indicates that they
never suspected a human body
to be the cause of the smell.

of the first to get into the

After congratulating Coach
Terry Brennan, Burris re-
marked, THAT is the best line
play any Oklahoma team has
gone up against in the past
seven or eight years."
Brennan said simply, I'VE
just played so minutes of good
football against a great team"
Great Team Effort
The Notre Dame coach and
his entire squad emphasized
that the triumph was the re-
suit of a great team effort
combined with superb scout
ing. Brennan said Assistant
Coach Bernie Crimmins secuted
the Sooners in three games
and the teams exchanged three
sets of films.
Coach Bud Wilkinson, in his
usual sober tone, said it was a
tough job to accept defeat in
the face of his teams brilliant
47-game winning streak. "They
were just better than we were
today" he added. "They de-
served to win"
Dick Lynch, who scored the
touchdown. was probably the
happiest fellow in a dressing
