prevent the registration of Negro
citizens. In contrast, Negro citi-
zens appear to be experiencing no
more than the usual difficulties
in the South Carolina statewide
re-registration campaign now in
progress.
A state of tension is kept in be-
ing throughout the Deep South
states by continuing pronounce
ments by important political and
public personages counseling de-
fiance of the Federal judiciary,
the White House, and all dissen-
ters from the segregation doc
trine. Threats and violence are
thus encouraged, with both whites
and Negroes as targets. A bomb
was exploded at the home of a
white South Carolina woman of
an old and respected family sim
ply because she wrote an article
mildly advocating a moderate APP
proach to the issue.
Despite these and other mani
festations of resistance, the new
year is certain to see more
changes in the old order. The
hard core will probably remain
for some time, but both its area
and influence are being reduced.
The inescapable fact is that the
New South will never be able to
realize its potential if nine mil
lions OF its citizens are held in
segregated second-class citizen
ship. The other inescapable fact
is that at this stage in world his
tory the United States cannot af-
ford to perpetuate second-class
citizenship based upon color

housing is a measure of vital i'm
portance to every community in
which a large number of Negroes
reside.
Earlier legislation in New York
and elsewhere had outlawed dis
elimination in publicly-aided
housing. This has been helpful
but it left the owners of the vast
majority Of dwellings free to re-
fuse to sell or to rent to persons
because Of their race, religion or
national origin The new law in
New York City was designed to
meet this problem
Other important developments
on the positive side include the
successful Prayer Pilgrimage
which brought some $1,000 per-
sons to Washington on May II in
a demonstration of unity in be-
half of civil rights the continu-
ing desegregation of the schools
which added another $4,000 to the
100000 Negro school children who
were already attending classes in
deaegregated school systems; the
mass refusal of Negro citizens in
Tuskegee, Alabama. to purchase
consumer goods of local mer-
chants after city officials had
redrawn the city lines to exclude
all but ten of the city's 400 reg
istered Negro votero
Likewise of great significance
was the declaration by "a protes-

any lots sold by the town, vote
