tive medium through which to
brainwash the youngsters, by not
only accustoming them to seeing
white and black people mixed, but
through the grandiose introduc-
tons the Negroes invariably re-
ceive on the show and in their
advance publicity =. E"
The Council urged it's followers
to write directly to Southern Bell
because Station WDSU, the local
outlet, has openly advocated in
tegration of the races" 1t also
urged whites to their protest the
appearance of Negroes on TV
shows or turn off their sets.
Campaign Futile
"Everytime you see a Negro
featured on TV you should let the
sponsor know of your protest" the
hate literature said.
Meanwhile, Negroes in the area
are Infatuated by the campaign.
Some like our informant, are
threatening to stop buying TV
sets If their artists can't be seen.
There is also talk of turning in
their telephones to Southern Bell
if the company supports the coun-
Gil campaign.
However, there is no indication
that either A.T.&T. or other ma
tional sponsors are needing the
protests of the segregationists.
Negro artists, meanwhile, con-
tinue to be featured on TV.

Youths Burn Cross
In Front Of ST.
PduIifeS Home

st. Paul had a cross burning
Sunday March 8, but nobody seems
to understand why. The cross was
lighted by what witnesses said
were three youth, IS or 10 years
old in front of the James Garner
home at 565 Fuller Av. about 7:45
pm.
After lighting the cross which
was wrapped in oily rags the
youths jumped into a car which
was seen to speed away by Floyd
Brown, 1872 w. Central.
Mr.. Brown checked the license
number on the vehicle and the
police were called.
The officer in the car which an
swered the call told the Gamers
he would have the crime lab pick
up the cross later in the evening
or Monday.
When no investigation was made
of the incident by the police by
Tuesday it was reported to the St.
Paul NAACP. Chief of police Will
liam Proetz was contacted and told
that the cross was stin in the front
yard Of the Garner where a police
officer had thrown it.
The chief ordered and immedi-
ate investigation and the owner
ship of the auto in which the
youths fled was checked.
The cross was made from a piece
of wood about 1" by IL inches
and stood about 8 feet high the
police report said. 1t was fastened
to a wooden stand The youths
poured some inflamable material
on the cross and ignited it before
fleeing.
Police are understood to have
one suspect under surveillance.
After arrests are made the case
will be turned over to the St
Paul city attorneys office for dis
position.
The neighborhood where the
cross was burned has been inter
racial for years Leonard Carter
president of the NAACP who re-
ported the incident to the police
said.

Proposals Overlooking
Segregation Problems

Proposals Overlooking
Segregation Problems
Are Inadequate
The limited character of some
of these proposals, however,
should be frankly recognized.
l would note in passing that
(1) the proposal to give sub
poena powers to the Attorney
General in voting rights cases
under the Civil Rights Act of 1857
adds little more than minor pro-
cedural convenience, which could
be largely accomplished in other
ways under existing laws and rules
of procedure, and which unless
carefully safeguarded may be sub
ject to abuse.
(2) The extension of the life of
the Civil Rights Commission gives
us nothing new, and while helpful
in some respects, it will be of no
influence in school situations. That
Commission is primarily devoted
to action in the field of voting
rights. If it were to spill over
slightly into the school controversy,
which is unlikely, the Commissions
even division (until the recent I'M
timely death of my fellow nlinoi-
sian, Mr.. ]. Ernest Wilkins) be-
tween those who believe in the
Courts decisions and those who
do not, is fairly sure guarantee
against any positive recommended
lions coming from that source for
effecting the transition to desegre-
cation.
80 The authorizing legislation
is undoubtedly desirable, and I
have joined in sponsoring it. But

Mr.. Wilkins referred to the panied
responses from many Virginia
sources" to his recommendation in
an address at Portsmouth, Va, on
Feb. Is that Negroes by the hun
dreds" apply for transfers and ad-
missions to schools from which
they have been excluded solely on
the basis of race.
To Secure More Than A Triclle
'''What I was saying at Ports
mouth" the NAACP leader assert
ed, was that so long as opponents
use the pupil assignment process as
an instrument to balk desegrega-
ton, or to control it in the Nor
folk ratio of 17/100 of one percent
or other unrealistic ratios las in
North Carolina) we must encour-
age a substantial number of ap-
plications in order to secure more
than a trickle of admissions"
He cited the example of Norfolk
where there were originally ISL
applicants only II of whom were
finally admitted to schools with a
total enrolment of 10000. IF this
tortuous procedure were to be ac-
copied uncomplainingly by Negro
citizens, and the same ratio were
to be maintained, it would require
roughly $4,000 applications to Sc
cure $50 admissions - and this

literature. The Councils campaign.
though aimed at A.T.&.T., is not
restricted to that company. 1t is
directed at any and all sponsors
who feature Negro talent on their
TV shows.
BeIafonte Is Target
In the anti-Negro literature, the
Council directed it's ire at folk
singer Harry Belafonte, who ap-
peared on the Telephone Hour re-
Gently. The program was piped
into the New Orleans-Baton Rouge
area by the Southern Bell Tele-
phone Company, an A.T.&T. affil-
late. Parts of the Councils htera-
ture abiding to calls from segre-
gationists protesting Belafonte's
half-hour appearance on the show
are presented here to indicate the
viciousness of the campaign.

of how segregationists can back

Iokknr haoron.
Immediately following the tele-
vision program broadcast by the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Co., through the Southern Bell
Telephone and Telegraph Co., our
phone was flooded with calls. The
new Telephone !TV show featured
about 30 minutes Of the Negro
Belafonte and his all-Negro act.
The calls we received were in pro-
test to this show, Directing to this
Negro coming into their living
rooms under the guise Of a cul-
tural show.
Admit Negro Artists Increasing
Their indignation was strong,
as was ours. They, as do we (com-
Gil members), believe that there
should be a stop to the ever-in-
creasing Negroes featured on
television," shown in close and
intimate relations with white
people. 1t is nothing more than

the fields of Valley Forge and Tren-
ton and Shiloh and Gettysburg.
Who dyed them scarlet? The blood
of those who gave their lives In
World War / and World War III and
those who died in Korea, Red is
the symbol of their blood unselfish-
ly shed that liberty and autonomy
might continue to be ours and our
children's sacred heritage.
And the stripes of whiteTwhat
do they mean? White is the color
of purity and the manners stripes
of white are a constant challenge
to the nation to keep her life un-
spotted by any act of perfidy. Thus
far unstained by defeat. we need to
keep our flag unstained by double
dealing in our sometimes tangled
relationship with other nations.
Unstained also-and this is peril
nent now-by political corruption,
low standards of conduct in high
places, economic chicanery and the
wanton disregard of state and ma
tional laws. Let's keep our banner
clean Do not stain the virgin
white of your flag by anything you
say or do.
And now step farther. AS Van
Dyke puts it, "the flag is full of
stars" What would they say to
us? In answer let look to the mo-
tives that induced our forefathers
to seek our shores. In the dark
night of their poverty and suppress
sion they were willing to venture
far to escape from under the cruel
yoke of emperors and kings.
Against the deep blue of the oceans
waters our land seemed to them
like star of hope dawning for
them over here So they came in
large numbers, settled in many
states and each state quite natur-
ally then became star in our
national ensign. AS / look at them,
| this cluster of stars in a corner
of our flag, they become articulate
in expressing so much that our
nation stands for.
Thus we have heard wha the col
ors of 'your flag and my flag" real
ly mean. In summary of this mean
ing these words of Wilbur Nesbit
are apropos:
Your flag and my flag,
And oh, how much 1t holds
Your land and my land
Secure within its foldsi
Your heart and my heart
Beat quicker at the sight
Sunkissed and wind tossed
Red and Blue and White
| The one fiag-the great fiag-the flag
for me and you
Glorified all else beside-the Red and
White and Blue.
