Unwise And Unwelcome
The Press Register
Clarksdale, Miss.

It is a matter of growing concern to the thinking
people of all in Clarksdae that this community
is being frequently selected, used and abused by some
Negro organizations the locale for many of the
meetings agtating for unreaisc developments In the
broad field of race relations in Mississippi.
We use the term abused" advsedly, for some feat
ures the program of the most recent meeting would
make it that advantage being taken of the con-
structve and tolerant attitude which has been main
tanned in this city among those holding widelydffer-
ent views the wisdom of changing existing and
tablished school, social and political patterns.
This community is extremely fortunate in that the
vast majority of both have-durng the lengthy
and at times emotional conflicts which have beset 9TH
of the South-worked together to maintain
atmosphere of basic goodwill and understanding
This cooperative and constructive relationship per-
mits continued progress in many undertakings for the
mutual benefit of citizens of both races and it does
not involve the compromise of strongly-hed views in
those of thought where there is prospect of
agreement.
AS reasonably well-nformed observer of commun-
ty attitudes and agency dedicated to the maint
of the good relationships that exist here
submit that the importation of controversial profess
siona agtators of increasingly questioning character
result in nothing but misunderstanding and set
backs to any progress already attained in racial rea
tionships in Clarksdale
The Regional Council of Negro Leadership at its an
nua meeting here last week booked of its prn-
cipal speakers Dr. James Dombrowsk of the Southern
Conference Educational Fund In doing they affront
ed many who have raised objections to such
meetings which in the past have been local affairs in
the that their inspiration detectives and speakers
honestly expressed the thinking of those familiar with
and interested in Mississippi.
Whether Dombrowsh is is not Communist
might be open to debate, though there is substantial
Recommendation to support this charge However, there
be debate the fact that he has nothing
structve to contribute to the solving of the problems
and difficulties which challenge the responsible lead
ership of both
1t goes without saying that like Dombrow-
ski, who for two decades has had visible means of
support and has found time to agtate participate cir
cuate and originate of causes petitions
ments and protests, u.s. to say the least suspect char
acter.
The organization responsible for bringing him to
Carksdae has most assuredy not acted with the long
range interest of it's people in mind and has shown
lack of wisdom and judgment which challenges it's
claim to leadership.

Let the world go marching by
Then when we have finished life

We will have a heaven on high
The Lord will give us all we need
If we will only love one another

His will and follow Jesus Christ
He will lead you safely all the way
If you allow Prosperity to have

And follow the world and her game
When death comes and call for you
Will you be able to answer to your

We are filling Gods world with sin

Yet you are claiming Jesus Christ
Yet we will say / know you not
The games of the world are in

No mistake will save you today

power of the Supreme Court in
passing on qualifications of law
yers whose right to practice in
their respective states has been
challenged. An amendment to the
bill introduced by Senator John
Marshall Butler (R.-Md.) would be
instrumental in disqualifying hun
dreds of Negro lawyers in the
South because of their affiliations
with the NAACP.
The second bill, S. 1857, intro
duced by Senators Paul Douglas
(D.-Ill.), Jacob Javits (R.-N. W
and Clifford Case (R.-N. j. is
called the Civil Rights Bill of 1858
and is designed to restore Part III
to the civil rights bill passed by
Congress last year. Part III would
give the Federal government the
right to move in with preventive
action into areas where there was
evidence of intimidation of persons
seeking to register and vote.
Senator Kennedy assured Mrs.
Joyner and the group that he was
against the Jenner-Butler bill to
strip the Supreme Court of power
and that he yas strongly in sup

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: One thing that US old
timers will have to admit is that
there has been a great deal of i'm
provement in the business places
up and down the Ole Avenue in
lighting, decoration, cleanliness
courtesy, and service over what it
used to be in the old days. And ]
like it despite the fact that l can
set down over my fish and beer
and throw some pleasant remem-
boring about the days when | was
a boy, with a dime clutched tight
in my fist or in the inside of nv
pocket, setting in Jones' Cafe with
my eyes filling up with smoke and
my nose filled with the scent of
catfish, onions, chittlings, and what
not as | waited to get a chance
to order my dimes worth of chit
things, which was then my regular
Saturday nights repast, and was
when you got as many chittlings
for a dime as you get now for
ninety cents. AS l think of those
days, feel sort of fascination
as l imagine | hear the old time
Counter Man, Bro. Wash, who was
a favorite of us kids, yell out
when he spotted one of us ap-
preaching the counter, "Give Me
One Order of Hog Bowls" De-
spite the fact that I can set down
over my fish and beer and think
of those old times | know that time
and circumstances have long ago
demanded a change, and that such
old ways won't do in that kind
of business in this modern day.
Among the places that are showing
such improvements up and down
the Old Avenue some are owned
and operated by Aunt Haggar's
Chilluns, and | notice that the
places that are the prettiest, and
look the cleanest and have the most
lights, are doing the most business,
and Aunt Haggar's Chilluns are
going in and spending their money
without asking whether or not
places are owned and operated by
Aunt Haggar's Chillun, which
brings me to what we were talk
ing about as we took on more and
more of my favorite Saturday
night repast. We got to talking
about the better looking places,
and some fellows said there used
to be some of Aunt Haggar's Chill
lun, operating cafes and other
businesses up and down the Old
Avenue that he said something to
several times about such improve
ments that we note here when they
were the biggest operators on the
Avenue and he said that he was
told that, "Colored Folks don't
preciate too much finery," all they
need is a place to sit down and
something to eat. Well from what
| see going on if there's anybody
still running that kind of business
for Negroes on Parish Street, as
the old saying goes :. at won't
be long now"
