Urge Bon On
Aid TO Jim
Crow Schools

Washington, March 5.-The Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People has again
urged Congress to ban federal
funds for Jim Crow schools.
Testifying before the House Sub
committee on General Education
here on March 8, Clarence Nit
chell, director of the Associations
Washington bureau, called for in
clusion of a clause in any federal
aid to education bill restricting
such assistance "to schools that
are operating in conformity with
the decisions of the Supreme Court
of the United States relating to
school desegregation."
Between 1850 and 1857, he point
ed out, federal funds in excess of
1924 100000 were allocated to seq
regated schools in eight southern
states. The NAACP spokesman
cited two instances in which this
policy is currently being carried
out.
AS recently as September, 1858,
a school built at the cost of $780,
900 in federal funds for the chill
dren of civilian and military per-
sonnel at the Little Rock, Ark.
Air Force Base, was opened on a
segregated basis. The more than
100 Negro children eligible to at
tend this school are still barred
from it, Mr.. Mitchell told the COM
mittee members.
Also, last year the Redstone Ar
senal in Alabama transferred 81
acres of land to the Huntsville,
Ala, school district as a site for
the construction of an elementary
school from which Negro children
will be excluded.
IF the military authorities had
kept the land and built a school
On it, the present policies of the
of Defense which re-
luire that all children who are
eligible be admitted without re-
gard to race, would insure that |
there would be no segregation" he |
Thus, those who are responsible
FOR the land transfer have succeed |
ed in overruling the Chief Execu-
tive and the Secretary of Defense"
Mr.. Mitchell charged.

Pass system
BY WILLIAM GORDON

Pretoria, South Africa (ANP)
Reasons for maintaining the rig
id pass system in the Union of
South Africa, officials say, is to
regulate the flow Of illegal traffic
into the country.
Although racial laws in the Un-
ion are difficult for many people,
stil thousands of African labor
ers from Nyasaland, Northern
Rhodesia and Tanganyika come
to the country to work in the mines
for the higher wages.
To those who live and spend
most Of their lives in South Africa.
the pass system as it is being
maintained, creates difficult situa-
tions for even the most loyal South
African.
Il cannot leave the house with
out a pass" a social worker told
me. IF do, I'm likely to be
stopped by the police and no At
rican's statement is good enough
if the policeman wants to be rough
with you. There are few cases
when they are not rough with Az
ricans."

AVG. Cites 3
RIGHTS Leaders

Washington (ANP) - The Rev.
Ross Allen Weston. pastor of the
Unitarian Church in Arlington,
Va, Clarence Mitchell, director of
the Washington Bureau, NAACP,
and Joseph Rauh, former president
of the Americans for Democratic
Action, were honored last week by
the American Veterans Commit
tee.
Citations were presented to these
leaders at AVC's annual award
dinner given at the Naval Gun
Factory, Saturday evening.
Mitchell Lauds CO-Workers
Mitchell accepted his award 'in
the name of a team of workers"
who have labored hard in this
field of civil rights.
The NAACP executive mention
ed the watering down of the Civil
Rights Act of 1857, declaring that
no matter what anybody says,
we object to the idea that the
Chief Executive was seeking a
stronger civil rights bill"
Answer To Dixie Governors PRAYER
In referring to present bills pend
ing in congress, Mitchell called
the Johnson bill an answer to the
southern governors prayer"
The Johnson bill makes no rec
ognition Of the fact that the Sup
RENE Court has directed racial ill.,
tegration in the schools, said the
speaker, or that segregation in
education is unconstitutional.
Patriotism Means Sharing
Rev Weston stated: Patriotism
is not measured by parents who
refuse to let their children go to
school with % colored children.
Nor by school board who denies
hot lunches to children. Or even by
a governor who flies his states
flag above his country's flag. Pat
riotism and brotherhood mean
sharing something good and fine
with our countrymen."
Rev. Weston played a key role
in the peaceful integration of
schools in Arlington. and has
fought racial injustice all down
the line.

Key Club Monday

Abbey Lincoln, Riverside record
ing star opens a one week en-
gagement Monday at The Key
Club. Abbey, who was born in
Chicago, was well on her way to
a successful supper club career
when she rather abruptly decided
that what she really wanted was
not to sound svelte in plush lined
clubs, but to work with the kind
of jazz musicians she had long
known and admired. Her Riverside
albums have included such well
known sidemen as Sonny Rollins,
Kenny Dorham, Benny Golson,
Wynton Kelly and Philly Joe Jones.
This coming summer Abbey is
scheduled to tour Sweden where
she is sure to be a sensation.
On the same show with Abby
Lincoln are the Four Dukes, Mer-
curry stars; the Fouchee Dancers

Sheilah Graham Says:
Slim Chance For
Potter Or Curtis
To Win "Oscor''
BY ALICE A. DUNNIGAN

BY ALICE A. DUNNIGAN
Washington (ANP) - Sidney
Potter and Tony Curtis have little
chance Of winning the Oscar this
year for outstanding performance
although they have been nominat-
ed, thinks Sheilah Graham, prom
inent Hollywood columnist.
Divides The Vote
The performance Of these two
actors was superb in The Defiant
Ones, added Miss Graham, but it
is difficult to win when two actors
have been named from the same
picture. This has a tendency to
sort of divide the vote" she OBJ
served.
The famed Hollywood writer was
reluctant to say whether the movie
industry is opening up anymore
for Negro actresses, but Tets Just
say it isn't closing up any"
She mentioned the filming of
Porgy and Bess, observing that
this is the first all Negro picture
which has been made in quite
some time. And noted that Louise
Beavers is again coming back to
the movie screen. Hollywood is real
busy these days but most of its
filming is for TV and not for the
screen.
Miss Graham, who wrote the re-
cent best seller Beloved InfideT
was guest speaker at the Women's
National Press Club luncheon We'd

Highly Restrictive

Those who come into town, es-
pecially on Saturday nights for
some special reason, must obtain
a special pass stating the reason
for being in the city.
Even at this" one African said
I'VE must be careful of the direc-
ton we take travelling back home
in order to avoid run-ins with the
police"
There are no late buses leaving
Johannesburg for African loca-
tions. Few Africans are seen walk
ing the streets of johannesburg or
Pretoria, later than nine in the
evenings.
1t is illegal for Africans to trav-
ell from one location to another
without a special permit.
Pass Links Worker, Employer
A newspaper editor in Johannes
burg spent most of one Saturday
evening trying to phone authorit-
les asking for release of several
members of his staff. They had
entered one of the locations with
out special permit.
Authorities refused to release
the men without fines even after
the editor had established that
their visit to the location was on
official business.
The pass system. as it functions
today, literally ties the worker to
his employer. He cannot leave the
job, or even apply for another,
without the consent Of his present

In Food Facilities:
&c. Dept. Stores
Finally Agree To
Hail Discrimination
BY MILTON BLEDSOE

Kansas City, Mo. (ANP)-Less
than "a hours before a scheduled
parade protesting denial of food
facilities in five downtown depart
ment stores, three of the estab-
lishments agreed to change their
racial discrimination policy and be-
gin serving Negroes in their res
taurants and luncheonettes. The
march was subsequently cancelled.
Peck's and Macy's began this
week; Kline's is to begin the new
policy on March %. A fourth, EN-
cry, Bird and Thayer, is expected
to follow within a short time.
Holding out without any promise
of changing its discrimination pol
icy is the Jones store.
Negroes Picket Stores
Picketing of the five stores be-
gan Dec. 19 and continued until
Feb. 8 when further negotiations
with the firms were begun. A total
Of Is conferences were held with
out much success by the Commun-
fty Committee for Social Action
spearheaded by a group of deter
mined women headed by Mrs. C..
Kenneth Kerford, wife Of a local
undertaken.
Ministers, business people, club
groups also joined the campaign.
To climax public attention on
this racial bias by stores which
had over the years enjoyed much
patronage from the 10000 Ne
groes in the area, a silent march
on the stores was set for Satur-
day, Feb. %.
From various reports many hun
dreds would have taken part, in
cluding a group Of white students
from the University of Kansas, the
Mennonite religious denomination.
and members Of labor unions and
other whites who supported the
movement.
Merchants Come To Terms

association and Downtown Com
mittees.
These civic leaders met with
the CCSA and urged that the par
ade be called off, saying that with
more time the eating situation
could be resolved and they would
assist in whatever way possible.
Leaders in the CCSA organiza-
ton informed the businessmen
that their efforts were somewhat
late and that the march would pro-
coed. However, when three of the
big stores indicated their desire
to come to an agreement in the
matter, the parade was cancelled.
Negroes Unite
The effort to get consideration
in eating facilities brought COOP
Grafton from the major segment
Of the community. It was public

Passes For Women

Recently. the pass system was
extended to women. Despite Gov
ernment regulations, many women
simply refuse to carry them. Wom-
en- servants who are still able to
live in quarters provided by their
employers in the homes where
they work are without passes and
will not accept them until they are
forced to do so.
1T is on the week-ends when
the pass system becomes a rack
et," a South Africaneker worker
said. 1T is then the police will
raid locations, pick up people NAL
iciously, arrest them and hold
them if they are without passes.
This may happen when a person
is out of work and may be on his
way to report to a pass officer. If
the pass happens to be out of date,
even for a few hours, you may be
arrested. Such regulations cause
to confine themselves to
their locations"
