Local law officials assured that
as at every Klan meeting, there
would be sufficient numbers of
local officers and FBI men on
hand ito prevent any violence.
Pembroke Police Chief S. Bre-
wer said he did not look for any
trouble, but added:
"The Indians don't appreciate
the way they've been talked
about but they aren't buying
any arms or ammunition"
Cole, of Marion, S. c., said

not reflect against the Indian
race, but were directed at Spe-

running around with white
men,"
He said, "It's the mixing of
the races that we are opposed
to, and not the Indians when
they stay among their own

CLOSER TIES WITH AFRICA ASKED

ATLANTA, Charles Ho-
ward, here with the Moral Re-
Armament group, told the From
tiers that Negroes and whites
here should develop a closer
economic tie with the people of
Africa.
Mr.. Howard referred to the
vast amount of resources on the
African continent. 1t was point
ed out that 81 per cent of the.
diamonds come from Africa. He
feels that closer economic ties
would also bring about better
understanding and more genu-
inc human relations.
The talk took place during
the regular weekly meeting of
Frontiers held at JOS on Auburn
Avenue.
William Bennett made a re-
port on literature and reading
material taken to the patients
at the hospital in Milledgeville.
Mr.. Bennett is chairman of a

Majority OF Chicago
Schools, Segregated
De Facto--NAACP

NEW YORK, Jan. 30-A de-
tailed analysis of the racial pro-
portions in the elementary and
high schools of one large north
ern city discloseS that major
ity of all pupils attend schools
in which the percentage of
white or Negro students is so
great that the environment is
one of segregation. 1.
The analysis, which deals with
the Chicago schools, is publish
ed in the February issue of The
Crisis, official journal of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People.
The article is a condensation
of a statement made to mem
bers of the Chicago Board Of
Education by the Chicago Ma
ACP branch in 1857. Entitled,
"Dc Facto Segregation in the
Chicago Public Schools" it in
dicateS that the trend is toward
segregation, not integration.
Eighty-seven per cent of Ne
gro elementary school children
are in predominantly Negro
schools, the article states.
Of 355 elementary schools list
ed in the Chicago school direc-
tory, ESQ, or 70 per cent, are

or more non-Negro pupils), 73,
or 81 per cent, are predominant

Negro pupils, and 80, or nine
rer cent, are racially mixed,
the report says.
Citing further statistics, it
states that of 35 academic high
schools in Chicago, 25, or II per
cent are predominantly Negro
or predominantly white, adding:
"In other words, seven out OF

u. S. Must Choose Between
Democracy Segregation

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. = The
Board of Directors of the Ma
tional Baptist Convention, USA,
Inc, paraphased a pre-American
Civil War slogan here when it
adopted a resolution stating
"Our nation cannot exist half.
segregated and half free"
1--WE must choose, and choose
quickly between democracy as
the American way of life, or seq
regation as the rule of eXpedi-
ency in the present crisis" coun-
Selled the resolution.
Presented under the heading,
"The Urgency of This Integra-
ton Struggle" the resolution
won unanimous acceptance as
the board opened it's annual
two-day session at the MICS
Hotel-Sanitarium here. Board
members have come from nearly
all states in the nation, repre-
ting 4,5Oo,OOO convention
members. NBC president, DR.. ].
H. Jackson, offered the resolu-
ton.
It takes care to label those
working against the Supreme
Court "aS long as it is the law
of the land" SubversiveS. who
seek to overthrow our present
form of Government by ignor-
ing, disregarding, and rebelling
against the fundamental laws
of the nation"
Arizona sun., 1958-02-06

The resolution expresses the
opinion that this country's last
great chance to take the chief
role as leader of the world came
May IL, 1854, when the Supreme
Court outlawed segregation in
this country"
That single act, claims the
resolution, gave every Christian
preacher in this country legal
justification" for preaching
brotherhood, without limita-
tionS.
The document speaks of the
'handicaI young white stu
dents must labor under in their
attempt to learn the true mean
ing of citizenship when they
are taught to have certain re-
servations regarding their re-
Spect for the highest court of
America"
Democracy can no longer be
taught in the schools of the
United States of America ef-
fectively as long as teachers and
students are led to believe that
they are right in revolving
against any fundamental prin-
ciples Of American freedom"
charges the resolution.
Other points made in the res
olution:
"If white students are not pre-
pared to meet Negro students
on competitive base in the
classroom, it implies a fear and
mental position that we can
not consider to be of the high
est and most creative quality.
This integration matter is a
great test of Ameriran demo-
cracy-..-.- it may be the last and
final test.
History supports the fact
that where God brings a ma
ton to a pinnacle of greatness,
He intends for that nation to
use its opportunity to carry for
ward a creative mission in the
world.
"If now is not the time to
begin the practice of democracy
in the United States, then we
have before us a sad commen-
tary on the whole past history
of the nation and it's system of
education"

Claim "Next of Kin"

They maintain that she is not
entitled to administer his estate.
Mr. Matthews and Mrs Gordon
say they are the only heirs at
law and next of kin of Theodore
A. Matthews.
They allege that there are and
will be continuing questions re-
lating to the status of Mrs. Mat
thews for the determination Of
the courts and her appointment
as administrative of the estate,
while these matters are pend
ing, will defeat the very pur-
poses of the litigation.
According to the answer, last
April 16, Samuel Matthews, fa-
ther of Phillip and Bernice, died,
and Phillip was appointed ad-
ministrator of his estate. Mrs.
Matthews has appealed from
the order of the Probate court
appointing him to administer
the estate. The appeal is now
pending in the United States
Court of Appeals.
There also is pending in the
Domestic Relations Court a COM
plaint to annul the marriage,
which Phillip and Bernice allege
was forced upon Theodore A.
Matthews by Gladys L. Lloyd"

In order to halt such expen-
ditures, the NAACP spokesman
said, the states should be re-
quired to submit plans to the
federal government with a clear
commitment that school facil-
tiles of the state are open to all
children without regard to race;
except that if a state plan does
not so provide, it shall not pre-
vent payment of funds author

The NAACP representative

1851, Virginia has been allocated
more than $5O,OOO,OOO "the lions

This sum is more than the COM
bined amounts received by the
states of Connecticut, Illinois,

and further providing fines and

other officials in integrated
