said in reference to the integra-
ton situation at Little Rock.
viewpoints of people cannot be
changed by laws. Viewpoints must
be changed first; then, laws. Fur
thermore, if people are to be ac-
copied, it has to be mutual. One
cannot compel acceptance upon an
other. And one thing is certain, it
cannot be done by force"
The governor spoke to about 600
educators from five counties at
district meeting of the Arkansas
Education Assn. He received three
standing ovations during the hour
and half he spoke, and applause
throughout his speech.
No one has ever said that the
majority Of people in Little Rock
wanted Indignation, he said.
He added that indignation in Lit
tie Rock has failed, despite the
fact that it started with every
thing in its favor-the support of
the School Board, superintendent,
principal, national administration,
and the 101st Airborne Division.
"All this, and yet it has failed"

English Opponent
Sought For
FLOYD Patterson

London-British promoter Harry
Lavene and Floyd Patterson's
manager met again Wednesday to
discuss a possible opponent for the
world heavyweight champion.
Levene has the champion all
lined up, choice June and July
dates in huge Wembley Stadium,
and a fight-hungry population with
money to spend.
But, at the moment, he doesn't
have a suitable opponent.
We'll find somebody" said Gus
D'Amato hopefully. D'Amato is
Patterson's manager.
"If British boxers didn't box like
Greek statues we would sign one
of these boys to take on Floyd"
said D'Amato. Instead these locals
get into the ring and strike up the
classice stand-up stance-left arm
extended.
"Thcn all they do is jab. You
wouldn't think they had a right
hand"
Patterson and his manager came
to England at Levene's invitation
last week to box some exhibitions
and to seek an opponent for late
June or early July in London. Be-
fore their arrival they had hoped
to fight Joe Erskine but the Brit
ish Empire champion was stopped
by Sweden's Ingemar Johansson.
Then there was talk that Welsh
man Dick Richardson might get
the call. But Richardson went
down to his third straight defeat
to an American Tuesday night
when he was disqualified in the
fourth round for persistent but
ting" Of Cleveland Williams of
Houston, Texas.
The sad state of the British
heavyweight division and DANA
to's refusal to have Patterson meet
any contender who boxes for the
International Boxing Club has Lee
vene stymied.

Dupasloses
Second Round
OF Race Battle

Ranking lightweight contender
Ralph Dupas lost a crucial round
today in his fight to prove he is
of the white race after winning a
clear-cut victory in lower court.
The blow was administered by
the New Orleans Parish Court of
Appeals in New Orleans, which
ruled that it could not force the
city to grant the 22-year-old boxer
a delayed birth certificate to prove
he is white.
The NBA's third ranking light
weight won a lengthy court battle
last fall in his attempt to prove re
was of the white race. The court
fight stemmed from charges placed
before the Louisiana Athletic Conn
mission that Dupas was born of a
Negro couple and therefore was
ineligible to meet white boxers
because the state law prohibits
racial mixing in sports events.
Dupas is scheduled to meet light
weight champion Joe Brown, a Ne
gro, in a title match in Houston,
May z. Both fighters are natives
of New Orleans, but because of the
state racial ban are prevented from
holding the title bout in their own
hometown.
In the opinion today, the appeals
court held that "after sitting, ana
lying and digestion "Dupas rec
ord, there is only one logical con-
clusion and that is Ralph Dupas
is the same Ralph Duplessis
who was born to Peter Duplessis
and Eveline Duplessis (Negroes)
of Plaquemine Parish"
Dupas attorneys indicated they
would appeal to a higher court.

er, and of registering the protest
of the community against discrimi-
natory practices in hiring sales
personnel"
"A Large Share Sought
DR.. Jackson said the demonstra-
ton twas not geared to hinder the
economy of the community" but
to show the part the Negro play
ed in the economy and "to give him
a larger share in the total econ
omy to which Re has contributed"
He said that the boycott had
been limited to the ''big five"
stores on the theory that if they
changed their hiring practices the
rest of the stores would go along.
1--WE will not repeat the dem
onstration," he said. "Our next
step will go to the management
of tie stores and try to negotiate
with them"
