ferent at McDonough which is stu
ated on a well-traveled thorough
fare but also in a neighborhood
populated by lower-income fam
lies.
A crowd averaging about 100
grouped across the street from the
school where the three Negro girls
and one white boy studied. The
group, however. was a sharp re-
duction in number from previous
days.
At the end of the school day,
US. marshals quickly slipped into
the building, then emerged just as
rapidly, leading the three little
girls, one at time, to three wait
ing autos.
The cars drove away with police
escort. The little girls, each one
immaculate and fresh-eyed, rode
in a back seat. They looked in
quiringly out the windows. From
their well-scrubbed faces came no
sign of fear.
Enrolment Drops
Either they didn't understand
the taunts or they had been pre-
pared for them armed with vast
quantities of restraint and cour-
age.
The normal enrolment of the
schools totals 1,O38. Negroes en-
tered them for the first time Mon
day and attendance dropped in
creasingly every day thereafter.
Attendance in fact, dropped off
sharply in the entire New Orleans
school system. OF total 36,726
students in elementary and sec
ondary schools, 1896 failed to
show up for classes.
Teen-Agers In Violence
Many teen-aged students, both
white and Negro, took part in the
violence. Negroes drove through
the streets shooting wildly at white
pedestrians and whites beat Ne
groes.
The school board, whose offices
were the target of a yelling mob
that police quelled with fire hoses,
said it was tired of letting the
schools be a battle-ground for the
fight between state and federal
rights"

UOUSE OF REFUGE

Gospel Temple House of Refuge
in st. Paul began morning wor-
ship at II am. and we were blessed
with a wonderful service. Our pas
tor, the Rev. w. L. Battle, spoke
on the topic What is that in
thine Hand ?" The text was from
Exodus Az, 1912, 1917. The mes
sage was most inspiring. We found
we had the only weapon we need
in our hand. and that's the spirit
and word of God.
We were also blessed to have
our co-pastor, Rev. Mrs. Battle,
with us after bringing the morn
ing message at New Hope Baptist
church. Rev. Kneely Williams Is
pastor.
At our evening worship, we were
fortunate to have Brother Phillips
from India. He spoke very fluently
and we shall never forget him.
We thank God for the outpour of
his spirit throughout the day. Ev-
eryone who came we are sure they
received a blessing. Won't you come
and worship with US?

visor in Florida Monday.
1t was reported Thursday night
that the father of the sole Negro
girl at Franz school was fired from
his job at a New Orleans service
station in the height of the integra-
ton crisis.
The owner told newsmen he let
the father go because local people
were constantly calling him up on
the telephone. The father was re-
placed by a white man. The station
owner claimed that emotional feel
ing was too high for him to keep
the Negro and the niger could
get a job with his own folks.
Papers Play Up Negro Crime
Another sidelight of the integra-
ton dispute was the apparent spec
ial effort Of the white press in the
city to play up crime news in
volving Negroes. Such stories re-
ceived front page coverage, run
ming in columns near news ac-
counts of Indignation.
Threaten Fats Domino Home
A Roman Catholic priest said
bomb threats had been made
against the reputed quarter-mil-
lion dollar home of rock n roll
singer Fats Domino because it had
been rumored that his children had
integrated McDonough. The priest
said Domino's children attend a
Catholic school.
Police arrested $50 persons,
white and Negro, between 8 pm.
Thursday and am, one day in
racial flare-ups. Fifteen persons
were beaten or cut and one was
shot. Violence ebbed after day
light.
Reasons For Violence Decrease
There were several reasons for
the decrease in violence: Police
wouldn't let crowds gather, they
kept a sharper than usual watch
around two integrated schools and
it turned cold and threatened to
rain.
But at McDonough only one white
pupil attended classes with three
six year old Negro girls. Three
white pupils attended classes with
one six year old Negro girl at
Frantz elementary school.
Dozens of policemen surrounded
Frantz school, located in a lower,
middleclass neighborhood, but al
most totally absent were the heck
lers of the previous day.

The Way To Eliminate Minority
Bloc Voting

The Way To Eliminate Minority
Bloc Voting
Referring to the problem Of min
ority bloc voting in elections which
was so noticeable in the recent
national campaign, Mr.. Dabbs was
of the opinion that: The rapidly
growing power of the Negro vote
is an ironiC comment upon what
may happen when injustice &C.
ours. Because OF discriminatory
treatment thousands Of Negroes
pour from the South into the
North. Midwest and West q.
because Of prejudice they are
often shunted into racial ghettoes,
Yet they are given the vote. But
because the majority insists gen
orally upon treating them as a
minority they tend to vote as
bloc. and so control some city and
state elections. and to influence
national elections"
This is not the Negroes fault or
design Dabbs intimated. Make a
numerical minority a psychological
and geographical minority, and
they will vote as a bloc The only
way in a democracy to eliminate
minority balanCe-of-power politics
is to quit exploiting the minority"
Dabbs pointed out: The world
is bound more closely together.
The Negro who demands education
al opportunity in South Carolina,
the Negro who demands job oppor-
tunity in Minnesota, are historical
ly related to the ColOred nations
who now demand a voice in the
affairs of the world.
The rise of these colored ma
tons presents to us in the United
States, especially us in the South,
our greatest challenge. Whether
we wished it or not, our nation
has become the leader of the free
world. But how shall we lead in
freedom unless we ourselves are
free? In regard to our colored pop
ulaGOn, we are not free this
lack of freedom is seen around
the world. The Negro still has high
visibility. The colored pupils in
Little Rock, walking the gauntlet
of jeering whites, both encouraged
by their demeanor and discouraged
by their reception the spirit of
democracy, not only in the world
but also here at home"
US. To Rise or Fall on Race Issue
In concluding Mr.. Dabbs said:
TT seems to me that the race
issue is the issue upon which today
our country must rise or fall. Upon
this issue the spotlight of the world
is focused. AS we face it brave
ly and solve it, we win the approx
al of the yet uncommitted nations;
as we muff our chance, they turn
thumbs down on our way of life,
and even on democracy"
At the conclusion of his address
Mr.. Dabbs was given a standing
ovation
Presiding at the annual dinner
was Walter J. Rock, Asst. Direc-
tor Secondary Education st. Paul

the IlIlllu beginning OF lHIeTTdCldl
education.
A wcek-long school holiday was
in prospect because of Thanksgiv-
ing and teacher conferences. 1t was
hoped that during the vacation,
procedures could be worked out
whereby the Indignation program
could proceed.
Catholics Still Wait
Meanwhile no move had been
made to desegregate the Catholic
schools which had promised to
launch their long delayed integra-
ton program when the public
schools made their first move. The
Rt. Rev. Msgr. c. Bezou said no
date would be set until Archbishop
Joseph F. Rummel and his coun-
sellers deem it prudent and ad-
visable."
While violence subsidized abruptly
in the public school crisis, 995
percent of the white pupils in the
two newly-integrated schools, Nc
Donough No. 10 and William Franz,
boycotted classes.
The school board asked a United
States district judge to permit it
to return to segregation. Judge ].
Skelly Wright Friday heard the
boards motion that he vacate his
indignation order and let New
Orleans schools be separate but
equal.
But two other federal judges
sitting with Wright turned down
the boards request at Fridays
hearing. Their action, however,
left the door open for further dis
cussion of the Indignation issue
at later debates.

Seek Kennedy Action

Leaving no stone unturned, the
segregationist Louisiana legisla-
ture tried to bring President-elect
John F. Kennedy into the dispute
by adopting a resolution asking
him for an opinion on what it
called the judicial tyranny Of
Judge Wright.
The legislatures resolution to
Kennedy directed that a committee
of legislators personally deliver the
resolution and wait for his (Ken-
nedy'sD reply" There was no in
dication when the committee will
try to see Kennedy, who was in
Johnson City, Tex, Friday visiting
Vice President Elect Lyndon B.
Johnson.

the entire country, so that the
problem of equal rights to all. re-

q. racial prejudice is a nation

anies it, is a national challenge"
