The LAST Step Thus FAR

according to Guthridge, was to
tell Daisy Bates to tell those
Negroes to go back to Horace
Mann" Mrs Bates is president of
the Arkansas Conference Of
Branches, NAACP, and Horace
Mann is the Negro high school.
1t is evident that Guthridge was
taken by the. merchants as they
have always taken him, because
according to Mrs. Bates, none of
