He just happened to look at the lazy grey mule when the mule opened it's mouth and said, as it Winked, TT told you tWicen- The trouble was in the carbureator". Oh hearing this, he was off down the road like cat that has sne1t his first big wifi of turpentine. He didn't stop running for almost 8 quarter of a mile that was only because he saw an old far mer coming from the barn carrying a lar ge pail. (Whistling Dixie too.)
 He ran into the barn yard screaming his ordeal at the top of his voice. It took fresh cigarette and cup of warm COWS milk (that ts actually a projection on my part for fresh milk to get him calmed down enough to where the farmer could understand him.. After listening the story told slowly, the farmer only smiled and said, "Shucks nister, did that old bugger have one flopped ear?n "Yesn replied the friend of mine, TT forgot about that part of himn.

What Price Martyrdom?

The current issue of Ebony Magazine is featur-
ing story about the plight of Mrs Daisy Bates and her
husband who in the newspaper publishing business
in Little Rock, Arkansas Mrs Bates, you know
has become national celebrity because of her spon-
sorshp of the Negro students of Little Rocks Central
High School,
Aside from the story in the current issue of Ebony
we also read editorial from the Cleveland Call and
Post published up in Cleveland Ohio, of the
cent National Convention of the NAACP. The editorial
also dealing with the plight of Mrs Bates.
Here excerpts from the editorial publish
ed under the title, What Price Martyrdom'
In the light of the reports coming out of Little
Rock Arkansas the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Coored People may be wise if it gives
Mrs. Daisy Bates basket of groceries instead of the
Spngarn Medal she is to receive along with the nine
Little Rock Central High School students
Mrs Bates won't be able to eat the medal
The white people of Little Rock eyed on by seere-
Negroes in Little Rock seem strikingly unconcerned.

indeed have lost the battle for educational opportun
ty. We would call the situation shocking it not
for the fact that know we'll the misery price
Negroes willing to pay for freedom.
Every Negro publisher worth his salt is aware of
this peril in the of militant journalism The
ing phenomena is that the vast majority of the Negro
press remains militant at all.
In fact it grows increasingly hard today to find any
Negro newspaper waxing successful which does not put
the interests of its readers above and beyond the profit
motive.
We know exactly what the Bates mean by the
apathy among their readers Most Negroes think that
the price of the newspaper entities them to civil rights
insurance They seldom communicate with Negro edi-
tors or publishers unless their personal being
gored. A bare minimum of Negro businessmen support
them with consistent advertising, and considerable
segment Of the socaed Negro inteigensia wouldn't be
caught dead with copy of Negro newspaper it's
reading table.
Negro publishers sometimes get acquainted with
them when dirty bigot losses bomb through the
window of their swank home in restricted neigh
borhood.
Them as the Negroes of Little Rock will learn when
they lose their newspaper voice. they discover that free
dom is not free.
And that ofttimes the only dam between them
selves and the flood waters of second class citizenship
is the badlyprinted little coored weekly that keeps
when it dosent pay off in profits

REV. JOHN R. PERKINS
FOLLOW CHRIST AND GET ON
CHRISTS SIDE
The Lord did not give his Son
Jesus
To no race to follow men you see
Christ said that everyone that will
believe him
Their souls would be made free.
Believe in Christ and not in vain
And he said that | am the way
His way is so plain that fool
can't err
So why not come and go his way.
The world is full of men who made
degrees
Full of degrees in Gods house to
hide
If you have never been Of the spirit
of God
| am afraid in hell we will have
to abide.
To all of the fellows you are ad-
vance with man
Yet you have to be born of the
spirit of God
And follow Jesus Christ
Or else your way will be hard.
A hint to the wise is helpful you
see
But hint to a fool is not so well
A fool he claims he is a child OF
When he is on the road to hell
My people have claimed God or
their side
And made big mistake all the way
Christ said for us to follow him
And he said that l am the way.
Ever since the colored race was
freed
He has tried to get Christ on his
side
Yet he tells us all the same thing
today
l am the way you can't hide.
God is the father for all of his
children
Jesus Christ is our brother we are
told
Gods family is all one you see
And they tell me we never grow
! old.
We know every thing the first
letter L
When we speak it right it is Sam
Long as we stand apart in this
life
Our souls are going to be famed
Millions are claiming Christ today
And never made the right start
He said for us to love one another
! So stop standing so far apart.

in the bitter opposition to desegre-
cation here if Negro students re-
turn to Central High in the near
future. However, there has been
considerable improvement in the
ability of city and Federal au-
thorities to put down violence.
The city police force, which fail
ed to quell rioting at the school
last year, has been strengthened
under the direction of a new city
manager, Dean I. Dauley, and a
new police chief, Eugene Smith.
The force is too small to cope with
a mass outbreak over an extend
dperiod, however, and it is known
that city officials do not want to
be placed in the position of hav-
ing to enforce any Federal court
orders.
The focal point of the struggle
the quiet. shaded campus Of
Central High, had an outward air
Of calm as boys in blue jeans and
girls in peddle pushers skipped up
the steps this week to register
for the coming term.
But the answers they gave to
questions about how the student
body felt over the possible return
Of their Negro classmates reflect
ed the tensions that pervade the
whole community.
"If they come back now, there
will be real trouble" said a blond
youth. ut will be fifteen or twenty
years before they'll be able to inte-
CRATE this school again."

zette called the announcement of
the stay "the best of news under
the circumstances"
"This apparently means, first
of all, that Little Rock school au-
thorities will have at least a Sc
mester's respite from the Federal
Court mandate under which they
have been bound for the greater
part of two years." the newspaper
said, adding:
what the South has gained in
the largest sense is the hope of a
full-scale review of the grievances
that have built up since the Su-
preme Courts 1854 school deseg-
regation decision-along with g
test of the validity of devices va
rious states have used in an At
tempt to circumvent that decision
"The Supreme Court now has,
not only the opportunity, it seems
to us, but the inescapable respon-
sibility, of confronting the Little
Rock issue head-on. There is every
indication that it intends to do so.'
Tension Remains
The legacy Of tension and in
timidation left by Central Highs
first year of desegregation has
multiplied to such an extent, it is
said that mere stand for law and
order is regarded by many as u
sign of "softness" on the integra-
ton issue.
And as a reminder to those WIN

High in May, Daisy Bates remark.

/ in Little Rock put the Administra-
ton in the fight. Indeed, the Pres
ident used his ultimate weapon,
troops, to put down violent resist
ance to a court integration order.
But it was evident that when the
Little Rock episode began, neither
the President nor the Justice De-
partment was prepared for the
trouble.
Presidents Words
Mr.. Eisenhower's strong state
ment this week, we'll in advance of
events, symbolized the acceptance
by the Administration of at least
some responsibility in the integra-
ton fight.
An even more significant clue
to the change of attitude is found
in the Justice Department.
For some weeks past, a group of
top officials in the Department
has been meeting regularly to dis
cuss the school picture. Various
legal courses have been laid out
as alternatives to deal with any
violence.
All this is not to say that the
Justice Department or the Admin
istration generally have come
around to the idea that the Federal
Government should play a leading
role in bringing school integration
about. The impetus must still
come from private law suits.
The Justice Department hores
that in any situation of violence
( with Little Rock as the most
likely example - the school board
itself will go to Federal court and
seek injunctions against those in
terfering with Indignation.
But if a school board fails to
act, and the Negro plaintiffs do
not, it is a fair guess that the
United States will come into the
case as a friend of the court and
move for injunctions. There is
every intention of using the civil
process instead of troops, if pos
sible.
Question of Stay
Observers here are divided on
the wisdom of the stay granted
by the Eighth Circuit Court IN
the Little Rock case. There are
many who share the N. A. A. C. P.
view that exclusion of the Negro
children from Central High at the
start of the term can only be taken,
psychologically, as a victory for
violence.
The other viewpoint is that,
when feelings are running so high,
it is just as well to lean over back
wards to give full judicial consid-
GRAFTON to r-~1'~--, even over
deliberate consideration. And those
taking this view believe it may be
wiser to let the focus shift now to

Virginia.
There the battle between State
and Federal Governments seems
likely to be legal rather than ply
steal. In three urban areas Ar
lington County, Norfolk and Char
lottesville, there is a good posi-
bility that final court orders will
be in effect at the start of the
term ordering the admission Of
at least few Negro children to
white schools.
State law requires the Governor
to close any racially mixed school,.
Governor Lindsay Almond Jr. has
made it clear he will do so. But
how long the schools would remain
shut if local opinion was against
the closing is the large question.

fall.
Many feel that the Eighth Cir
cult Court of Appeals, by postpon-
ing the readmission of Negroes to
Central High School, has given
this capital city a reprieve from an
even worse siege of trouble than
that which ragged last year.
However, none who view the sit
uation realistically see in the
courts action anything but a tenn
porary respite and few express any
hope that the situation will i'm
prove materially in the meantime.
The Appellate bench's order set
ting aside a District Court ruling
that granted a two and a half
year suspension in the Little Rock
School Boards plans for gradual
indignation was not unexpected
here.
But its subsequent agreement to
stay the order pending an appeal
to the Supreme Court was a sur
prise - and pleasantly so except
to the Negro community and a
small group of white liberals who
regarded it as an indefensible de-
lay.
Press Reaction
The Arkansas Gazette, comment
ing editorially on the reversal OF
the District Court, called it a dis
appointment. The newspaper said
q substantial body of public opin-
ion "had concluded that a way out
might be found, one that would
offer a guide post to the whole Of
the South and grow less painful
rs the courts were persuaded ia
grant q certain tolerance"
The Gazette added that there
was another and probably smaller
body Of public opinion that has
accepted the lower courts suspen-
sion order cat its face value; that
is, as nothing more than q breath
ing spell. but no less welcome for
that reason"
In an editorial today The Ga
