Two Negro Youths
Charged With Little
Rock Bombing

Little Rock. Ark. CAMP - Two
Negroes, a 17-year-old high school
student, have been arrested and
charged with bombing the home of
Carlotta Walls, 16-year-old Central
high school pupil.
Miss Walls, the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Cartelyou Walls, was
one Of the original nine Negro
students who broke the racial bar
rier at Central high school in 1857.
FBI Enters Case
Local police and the F'BI, whose
cooperation was invited in making
the investigation of the February
blast, named the two suspects
as Maceo Antonio Binns, 81 year
old handyman and Herbert Odell
Monts, a student at segregated
Horace Mann high school.
The two have been charged with
damaging property with explosives,
the same charge brought against
five white men in three bombings
last Labor Day.
Motive A Mystery
Officials refused to disclose the
motives of the two in bombing the
home. but most doubt that it had
anything to do with the local con.
troversy over desegregating the
public schools.
The Chamber of Commerce hac
offered p reward of $4,000 and th'
NAACP, S2I6Ss for information
leading to the arrest and convic
ton of the bombers
The bombing made history be-
cause it was the first recorded
attack on the home of a Negro
student involved in a school in
tegration dispute since the Su'
preme Court handed down its de-
cision in 1854.
Meanwhile, E. A. Lauderdale, a
segregationist leader convicted OF
participating in the September
bombings, was sentenced by Judge
William J. Kirby to serve a three
year Jail sentence and was fined
$500.
He is planning an appeal.

In Minneapolis:
Cultural Lag To
Be Topic Sunday
At NAACP Meeting

Iaklng a cue from the social
arguments of f. Franklin Frazier
and other eminent sociologists, the
Minneapolis branch of the NAACP
will tackle the question Of cultural
lag as a factor in integration at
its regular monthly meeting sched-
uled for 4 pm. Sunday Feb. %.
at st. Peters AME Church, 41st
and Fourth Av s.
The issue Of family and cultural
participation from Negro families
in community and welfare prob
lens was raised by DR. Fred p
Roeselle, principal of Lincoln jun
ior high school in North Mime
apolis and a member of the Mill
City NAACP Board of Directors,
at the January meeting of the
branch. DR.. Roeselle said at that
time, Many Negro families fail
in the move toward equal oppor-
tunity for their children because
they absolutely refuse to partici-
pate in community affairs which
affect them directly as Negroes
and as citizens of the community"
Some objections were raised to
DR. Roeselle's position at the time;
notably from Ashby Gaskins
Field Secretary of the Minneapolis
Urban League and former member
Of the NAACP board, who siren
uously questioned the sincerity Of
persons who failed to recognize
the long uphill fight the Negro
has had against educational and
job opportunities" in the Amer
lean society.
DR.. Roeselle reiterated his posi-
tion by contending that his primary
objective was the elimination
Of every factor to which the bigot
could attach himself in his argu-
ment against equality for the Ne
gro" DR.. Roeselle's argument was
supported by Jean-Pierre Gull
mant, Minneapolis newspaper edi-
{ tor. and member of the Mill City
| NAACP board. Guilmant said at
the time, that the realistic view
of DR.. RoeselIe should not be pass
ed over lightly simply because
many of us are prone to paint a
beautiful picture Of ourselves as
community pillars in our churches
and social clubs"
The Sunday program of The
branch will take up the Roesellc
challenge with a panel consisting
of four of the Twin City's most
prominent participants in the
Twin City Negro community and
social life. The panel, Ashby Gas
kins, Urban League field secre-
tary: Christine Dunham, social
studies teacher at North high
school; Myrtle Royster, teacher at
I South high school; and Rufus Web
ster, teacher at Roosevelt high
school, will attempt to analyze the
relationship between an integrated
society and the so-called cultural
lag of the Negro in the Twin
Cities.
Curtis Chivers, vice president OF
the Minneapolis NAACP, expects
the meeting to create a stir in
Twin City Negro communities
Chivers requested that members
and friends of the NAACP should
make every effort to arrive at the
meeting-place well in advance Of
the scheduled time of 4 pm. be-
cause the interesting and controv'
ersial nature of the topic under
discussion is expected to draw 6
large crowd of interested persons

In some eras laughter is not only effec-

come when nation, having solved an i'm

different and dangerous situation. The solu-

The white world has been fearful Of
African nationalism and some whites look
upon the new African nations with great
misgivings. This is unfortunate. All the
African leaders I have met have a fresh
and inspiring concept of the rights of man,
all men regardless Of color or religion. They
\are fighting for their own rights and free
dom in Africa and they will never stop
until they have achieved them Neverthe-
less they reject racialism go the freedom
they ask for themselves they will not deny
