The pretext will deceive no one.
The whole world will understand
that Georgia has railroaded this
minister of religion to Jail because
he dared, as a Negro, to ask for
decent and equal treatment for
Negroes in Atlanta. The store in
which the St-in demonstration
took place has pressed no charges
against DR.. King; the Mayor of
Atlanta has made it plain that the
CITY of Atlanta has no charges
against any of the sitSin demon=
strators" and that THE trial and
incarceration of DIR. King are the
responsibility of DeKalb County
and the State Of Georgia"
This Is the kind Of chain-gang
justice for which Georgia used to
be notorious. This is the kind of
racism which Americans hoped
was confined by now to the Union
Of South Africa. Surely there are
Georgians in high office with en-
ough pride in their State and en-
ough sense Of fairness to put an
end to the shabby perversion of
justice. Let them speak out to save
their State from DEMONSTRATING
ton (D.CJ POST.
Africa
In the last few months the Con-
go and Nigeria each became indie
pendent. The result for the first
was chaos. For the second, what
looks like success.
Why? Richard C. wald, writing
In the New York Herald Tribune,
says that both cases are the result
of the approach of their former
colonial masters to education. The
Belgians opposed education. They
were against universities and for
,eign scholarships for the Congolese
because learning is a dangerous
thing'-it might stir demands for
freedom and equality. When the
Catholic church established the
Congo's first university, Lovanium
in 1856, it had a great deal Of
opposition from the government.
There is not a single native law
graduate in the Congo because
lawyers think about constitutions
and constitutions are dangerous
AS a result the Congo has nc
trained men to run the country.
In Nigeria it is different. The
British established a first class
university at Ibadan in 1947. This
year alone there are 1000 Nigeriar

LiIIi0n Smith Reps
Southern Leaders
On SeureQufion

Atlanta (ANPl - Georgia auth
or Lillian Smith, said Sunday that
Southern politicians are still try
ing to buy a future for the South
and the nation with ideas that have
no validity and opinions that are
not based on facts.
Miss Smith, in an address at the
closing session Of the Conference
of Southern Sit-In Leaders, said
she discovered at the age of six
that Confederate money was
worthless.
But Southern political leaders
'fhave not yet learned this basic
lesson" Miss Smith said. They
keep flashing the old bills around
and still believe they'll get their
bargain"
How can they believe this ?"
The author Of Strange Fruit" and
other novels asked delegates.
How can they solemnly declare,
in this age of nuclear weapons,
that the greatest danger facing
the South and this nation Is the
danger that a few white people
and a few Negroes may possibly
marry each other?
''Is it segregation that we want
or is it national security? Is 1t
segregation or a new moral pur-
poser"
Miss Smith criticized Protestant
ministers who are spreading what
she called bigoted talk against
Roman Catholics.
at is childish and dangerous to
pretend that the Pope, who doesn't
even own a popg1m, is our great
national enemy" she said.

SO@AoNA A@SobA@NA~A
The Davidson County Board of
Education has wisely decided
against appealing District Judge
William z, Mners desegregation
ruling.
I'VE are not going to appeal,
we are just going to work, said
Mr.. Il. d. Chappell, board chair
man. The Board has its work cut
out.
I'm the main, we concur with
Judge Miller's decision, though we
believe he has made it admins
tratively difficult for the schools
by his mid-semester requirement.
This means redistricting for the
first four grades, notifying all the
affected, and a mass of related
details attending a switch Of con-
siderable breadth within two
months.
at would have been a better
course, we believe, had Judge Mil
Ter required the desegregation Of
five grades, beginning next fall, so
that sufficient time would have
been granted the school board and
its staff. Nashville Tennessean.
There are those in Detroit who
want its schools as rigidly segre-
gated as any in Mississippi. There
are those so devoted to racial in
in the abstract that they
want children shuffled about town
by bus, without regard to residence,
50 that no school goes without its
share" Of both white and Negro
children.
Both positions are extreme
Both positions are wrong. Those
who espouse either do the school
children OF Detroit their own and
others'-a disservice." - The De-
trOIt News.
Racial prejudice in St Louis was
further discredited when six large
CAFETERIA operators-the
John r. Thompson Co., Miss Hull
ing's, the Forum, the Maryland,
Schulte's and Pope's-voluntarily
that heneeforth they
will serve Negro patrons. Their
decision was right; and perhaps in
evitable. 1t was nonetheless diff !
cult, and it might have been in
definitely postponed So the comp
anies deserve civic acclaim for a
decision affecting the II eating
places they operate-and perhaps
many others.

citation, which put off a decision
on the issue until Nov. 10, undoubt-
edly viii be impressed by these
leaders in the business. The as
ISOLATION should have been i'm
pressed earlier when racial dis
elimination was abolished in all
Kansas City restaurants, but the
local example is bound to be con-
vincing.
A fair share of the credit also
goes to Mayor Tucker who set in
many conferences with the restaur-
ant people, urging them to pro-
vide service without discrimina-
ton.
1t is a sad fact, alas, that old
prejudices die hard. But inter
racial fair play win strengthen
the moral and economic founda-
tons of the community and enable
all it's citizens to work in unison
for it's progress. Seen in the light,
the decision of the cafeteria oper-
ators was no small thing.-St.

VICTORY COFFEE

Pawtuclxet, r. I. (ANP) - The
White Front has dropped five cents
off the price of coffee and hot dogs
because Sen. John F. Kennedy has
been elected president.
Anthony Petrucci said last week
he and his two partners in the
restaurant decided to keep the
price Of coffee at five cents a cup
and frankfurters at 10 cents as
long as Democratic Kennedy is
president.
He reported quite a few Nixon

onstrators, the movement cannot
be stopped even temporarily. IT
has helped to open lunch counters
in 112 Southern cities on a non
segregated basis. It will compel
the whole South, by reason Of its
moderation and decency and de-

Housing Discrimination
More than $4,000, 900 Americans
still suffer to some extent from
housing discrimination because of
their race. This unhappy state
ment comes from a Fund for the
Republic report just issued.
Included in this group are some
10, 0O0, 900 Negroes, Japanese, Chin
ese and Filipinos; 100000 Next
can Americans and 5000, 900 Jews,
according to the report. Many OBJ
viously have housing and do not
face discrimination. But in many
parts Of the country all would face
it If they tried to find new hous-
ing.
David McEntire, professor of
social welfare at the University OF
California, director of research for
the funds commission on race and
housing, comments:
Discrimination is perhaps the
leading unresolved domestic prob
lem Of the nation. People who can
not freely choose where they will

ditions but also in their use Of

Additional Funds Made Available for
 Alaska Housing

JUNEAU, R - An additional 10 million dollars for Alaska housing under the special assist ance program of the Federal Ma tional Mortgage Association has been made available by President Eisenhower.
 Norman P. Mason, head of the association, announced the Presi- dential action to Alaska's Con- gressional delegation in Wash ington.
 Gov. Egan said he was advised of the additional funds to the as- sistance program in a telegram from Sen. Bartlett.
 Funds available under the pro- gram are used to purchase mort gages on housing facilities built in Alaska. Bartlett told the Gov- ernor the President, in extending the special assistance, repeated previous Administration feelings that Alaska look to private money for the financing program in the future"
 Previously it had been an- nounced there would be no addi- tional funds made available to Alaska. Existing money in the program was expected to be ex- hausted by the middle of this year.
 Alaska officials protested on the grounds private housing construc- tion in the state would be brought to virtual standstill because of a lack of financing.
 After review of the protests, Mason said he was recommending that additional funds be made available.

Walkie-Talkie Electricity Tested by Military

LOS ANGELES, R = A new way of producing electricity that could make today's huge dams and steam generators obsolete gets practical test next month - in a pack you could carry on your back.
 Soldiers and Marines will try out under combat conditions 30- pound back-pack which supplies 200 wats of 24-volt direct current.
 The back-pack contains 30 fuel cells. These cells produce cleo tricity simply as a result of the chemical reaction that occurs when hydrogen and oxygen are combined.
 The combat unit, developed for the Army and the Navy by Gen. eral Electric, produces current for IA hours. It can be recharged by replacing container of hydrogen.
 Theoretically, there is no limit to the size of the cells, nor to the number that can be hooked up together, according to R. J. Shee- nounced the development.
