The Rev. Mr.. Shuttlesworth has

The police also have acted to
eliminate, or at least reduce any
possibility of mob action against
Negroes generally-which was the
real threat on Birmingham's first
school day, at least in the Phil

In strongly worded statement
the Police Commissioner, Eugene

out that all "level-headed" Negro

declares.
The widely-traveled evangelist
said, "the NAACP is a conspiracy

which they do not practice them

segregated organization in the

isolated themselves from all white

police anticipated rioting in some
form.
This is the high school into
which Rev. L. Shuttlesworth, Ne
gro integrationist of Birmingham,
sought to escort several Negro
schildren last year as school be-
gan. He was set upon and severely
beaten by a mob of whites swing
ing chains. Mr.. Shuttleworth with
drew with minor injuries. Later he
took his effort to enroll the chill
dren into federal court.
AS the situation stands, the City
of Birmingham school system has
barred the Negroes entry. A three
Judge federal panel has ruled that
the states placement law, under
which the children were barred, is
not on it's face unconstitutional.
The case was appealed to the
United States Supreme Court.
Although there had been no SUBJ
stantial indication Negroes might
try to repeat the entry effort of
last September, there were rumors
to the effect that on the first day
of school at Phillips, there might
be trouble" This was underlined,
but adequate to attract the police.
A potential mob of white men
showed up as white youths began
drifting to the school. During the
morning, these men were joined
by a substantial number of white
teen-age boys who left the school
after completing registration.
Negroes occasionally passed
along the street before the high
school in cars. The white adult
crowd at such times would move
to the edge of the street-they
stayed across it under police or
ders-and jeer and hurl insults at
Negroes in the cars. No effort,
however, was made to attack the
cars which very obviously had no
intention of stopping.
Several times Negroes - of the
most part youths - passed along
streets adjacent to the sides of the
block-square school structure. On
one occasion white boys, it was al
legged, gave chase and a Negro boy
hurled a stone back over his head.
1t struck one white boy, making a
facial cut.
On another occasion a single
Negro passed the length of block,
passing through the collected knots
of jeering whites. So far as could
be determined he was not touched
and, midway through the block,
police fell in behind him and es-
corted him from the scene.
On still another occasion a group
of six or eight quite young Negro
youths passed down a side street
and brought about two dozen or
more white teen-agers chasing
after them. They were not caught.
The air cracked with tension
throughout the morning and shortly
before one p. M, when virtually
all the days registration was COM
pleted, but with the large crowd

the NAACP's main purpose is to
unite the two races until there
is no line of demarcation between
them and not for educational adj
vantages as it contends.
Last year, when the Little Rock
issue exploded, Willett, then liv-
ing in Little Rock where he had
resided for IS years, had his car
and house windows smashed and
received threatening notes warn
ing him to get out of town. One
note said, Get out of town you

persed promptly, in the view of
close observers on hand, much pos
sible danger will be eliminated.
But the display on the first day
of school once more underscores
the intensity of feeling in the COM
nunity.
Undoubtedly a majority of citi-
zens would not even remotely con-
slider resorting to such potentially
violent action as seemed threaten
ed. But with feeling continuing to
run high, and emotions deep, even
a small minority could cause open
racial warfare unless it continues
to be dealt with firmly, according
to those woh have followed Birm-
ingham's resistance from the be-
ginning.

Calls that would cost hundreds

Mr.. Blur told me the dress

Leisure Time Cited
An equally obvious factor is
the sensational expansion of
leisure time in middle and
higher -income homes. 'The
satisfaction Of creating a gar
ment is an important motiva-
ton in the upswing in home
sewing" emphasized Mr.. Blur.
Families in the S7,500-and-over
income class have become the
biggest single users of fashion
patterns.
Another force is the mount
ing fashion consciousness Of
the American woman and girl.
This fashion consciousness is
what the giant pattern COM
panies-Simplicity is the big
gest. McCall's is second--are
now starting to exploit.
And not so obvious, is the
fact that the activity is being
heavily promoted not only by
the pattern and sewing equip
ment makers but also by the
stores themselves. The stores
have discovered that the pat
tern buyer also simultaneously
buys fabrics. shoes. hats, under
garments to 60 with her yet-to-

that every record the industry
is setting now win be smashed

More than 35 million women
and girls are now participating
in what is truly a phenomenal
renaissance Of an industry,
occupation and hobby.
The spectacular revival Of the
activity in the past five years
has created an industry APP
preaching 81 billion a year,
The boom is erasing all income
distinctions; what was an
activity mostly Of lower-income
groups in the sos and early

What am ] writing about?
The resurgence Of home sew
ing-an industry which covers
the manufacture and sale Of
patterns, the manufacture and
sale Of sewing equipment, the
making and sale of piece goods,
notions, etc.
Background Outlined
AS a provincial New York
career woman, I automatically
buy ready-made clothes and !
am much more accustomed to
seeing my friends seated before
typewriters than before sewing
machines. Thus, when Pierre
Cardin, a leading Paris fashion
designer, arrived in New York
last week to begin a Nation
wide tour for McCall's Patterns,
my news nose twitched. ! went
to interview Herbert Blur, gen.
eral manager Of McCall's Pat
terms, to get the story behind
the story-and it is as faScinat-
ing as ! anticipated.
This year alone, about 95
million patterns, representing
SAB million will be sold. This
year alone, over-the-counter
piece goods sales-closely allied
with home sewing, Of course
are estimated at more than
$3.50 million.
After World War II, the home
sewing industry leveled of and
appeared to be heading for a
cycle Of stagnation. But today,
the picture is unquestionably
one Of surging growth. What
are the forces behind the major
shift?
An obvious factor is the high
cost of well-made and fashion,
