economic life and opportunity Of
the Negro community, and thus
contribute to the improvement of
the entire local economy.
The former President of Tuske-
gee, who is also a member of the
National Board of the United Ne
gro College Fund, spoke to a group
of local Business and professional
people in the Jackson College din
ing room Tuesday night.
During the course of his re-
marks DR.. Patterson urged the
organization Of a local unit Of
Small Business Corporation of the
Federal Government, and the or
ganization of local Branch of the
National Negro Business League
in regard tc the organization of the
Small Business Corporation DR..
Patterson called for concerted eff
fort to enlist the cooperation and
membership of business leaders
from the White Business Commu-
nifty, so that the organization
might have access to the best pos
sible business minds of the local
community. The speaker was pre-
scented by President J. L. Reddix.
Following the address there was
an extensive question and answer
period to which questions were
asked covering a wide range of sub
ject matter both in regard to the
Small Business Corporation, and
the National Negro Business Lea
que.
The group voted unanimously for
the immediate organization of a
Branch of the National Negro Bust
ness League as a preliminary to
the organization of unit of the
Small Business Corporation.
Presided over by E. W. Banks, Of
People Funeral Home, among those
present were, Houston Wells, Wells

surance Agency; DR.. w. E. Miller,

steady progress will be made"
And unless this country sue
ceeds in solving this problem, on
which she has wasted so much
useless strength, the United States
will lose not only its leadership
but its place in the world, he
warned.
The traditional question-and-
answer period provided DR.. Glenn
ent with an opportunity for drop
ping several intriguing comments.
After first describing himself
as IAN Independent Democrat"
he opined that the present admin
istration has lost an opportunity
for real leadership in the Little
Rock crisis. DR.. Clement specu-
lated that a man with Harry S.
Truman's flair for dramatics would
have taken a little Negro child by
the hand and led her through the
mob.
DR.. Clement also declared that
civil rights ought to be, and prob
ably will be, a major issue in the
1860 presidential campaign.
He said this "crisis period in
history" calls for can
didate who will declare himself
vigorously and forthrightly on de-
segregation not only in schools but
in all aspects of American life.

child, but he does mind any pre-
tension to equal status.
Warning Sounded
And here DR.. Clement injected
sharp barb which he said he
would have shot at Southern
audience. While there is fear Of
intermarriage, he said, there is no
fear Of mixing blood-as long as
the person who wants to mix blood
is not a Negro. Loud hand clap
ping greeted this observation.
The Negroes goal, said DIR. Glenn
ent, is for first-class citizenship
in a democratic society, with its
duties and responsibilities as well
as it's privileges.

annaish attitude" he said, that

barely passing marks to Texas,
Tennessee, North Carolina, Vir-
ginia, Arkansas, and Florida; and
completely failing grades to Mis-
sissippi, Alabama, South Carolina,
Louisiana, and his own state Of
Georgia.
DR.. Clement called the southern
pro segregationist senators and
governors victims of their Gus
toms and traditions" as taught in
their families, churches, schools,
and communities.
"Some have to be dragged into
the goth century," he said.
The Negro leader also conceded
a "real fear of interracial mar
rage" He said that the white
man does not mind the Negro
cooking his food or nursing his

derwood as those numbered a
mong the courageous people" who
stand, though not for integration,
at least for law and order in the
South.
Quickly reviewing the present
situation in the South, DIR. Glenn
ent reverted to his role Of teacher
to grade southern states on inte-
grafton.

District of Columbia for "a good

Demagogic Excitement

The formation Of White Citizens
councils engaging in typical Ku
Klux Khan tactics of intimidation,
violence, and murder, the bomb
ings of schools in Clinton and
Nashville, Tenn, and the burning
Of synagogues in Miami, Atlanta,
Jacksonville, Fla, and Peoria, ILL.,,
are all the result of demagogic in
element, he said.
Fortunately, "the senator whom
you and have in mind, and the
Governor whom we all know" said
Dr.. Clement pointedly, are not the
only people in the South who have
stood up to make themselves
heard.
He commended Kentucky Gov.

closing down of schools in Little

2. The passing of laws with
drawing public-tax funds from
any school which chooses to de-

These laws, according to DR..
Clement, are the work Of dema-

AS a formal welcome to al

promise to make it a favorite in

distinctive series of new pass

another reason for showroom
decorations and ceremonies. The
fact that Chevrolet has only re-
