longtime correspondent of the
Memphis Commercial Appeal, as
moderator, a fact that made it
possible for us to get the then
Governor Hugh White, to call a
meeting of Negro and White
leaders, in January in 1854, looking
towards the future establishment
of permanent interracial groups at
the state and local levels.
One of the most tradgic facts of
the contemporary history of the
Mississippi Negro is that the pre-
mature demands and totally impol-

the NAACP spokesman and repre-
sentatives prevented any good

the reception, the Brazilian chief
executive formally invited Cole to
return again to Brazil, calling
him "the best goodwill ambas-
sador the United States has sent

During the South American tour,
Cole recorded an album in Rio
A Mis- Amigos-in which he sings
entirely in Spanish and Portu-
guese. Cole has also recorded in
French and Italian but, due to his
tight schedule, he will not make
any recordings in Europe. His
newest Capitol album is Tell Me
All About Yourself.
Aside from the obvious CONNER
cial value of personal appearances,
Cole strongly feels that such tours
have a definite effect on interna-
tional relations. "You can't run
the world on music alone" he says,
"but it gives people the opportun-
ity to forget the differences be-
tween countries
On his forthcoming European
tour, Cole will be accompanied by
Mrs. Cole; his longtime personal

tional Director, Gordon r. Fraser

tions in the state, and indeed in the
entire south land, which included
the abolition of segregation in
public bus transportation, waiting
rooms, and railroads stations, the
admission of Negro students to
state supported colleges and uni
versities for graduate and pro-
fessional training, and the encour-
agement of responsible Negro Citi-
zens in the exercise of the right to
vote and political participation.
Beginning several years before
1854 we had also advocated edi-
torilly the appointment of Negro
policemen in Jackson, and through
out the state, project first ini-
tiated by the Negro Newspaper
Publishers Association of which we
were a member, some significant
steps were made towards the ap-
pointment of Negro policemen in
Jackson, the failure of which may
well be laid to those Jackson Negro
leaders who spoke one way, in the
meeting regarding the appoint
ment of Negro policemen in the
meeting of the Negro Chamber of
Commerce, and before Negro
church audiences, but in an entirely
different manner in their private
meetings and conversations with
the Mayor.
We note that a program obtain
ing the above items has been or

the Mississippi Advisory Com

One of the outstanding facts of
current southern history is con-

resistance to any kind of interfer-

by the Federal Government. In

would suggest to the Mississippi

It MAY Be You

IN reading about accidents that kill
other people, we are apt to dismiss
the matter with a careless, at won't
happen to me-"
Maybe not, but just the same, it
might be a good idea to remember that
the victim of the fatal accident was just
as confident before the accident and as
irrevocably dead afterward.
We recall the case Of young wom-
an using health lamp to take sun
bath in her bathtub. Somehow, there was
a contact, and she was shocked. Later
she was found dead.
This illustrates the danger of using
electrical appliances in and around the
bathtub. There is danger that the cord
will become wet, thus charging the
water, or that the individual touching
the cord receive serious shock.
The moral is to be extremely careful
how you handle the cord that comes
with your electrical appliance. Be on
guard when water is around. Do not
handle electrical plugs, etc, with wet
hands or while standing on wet floors or
wet ground. Watch yourself and you
may live longer!

Taxing The Little Children
4 big TODD is blowing up in New
- York State over the tax collectors
attempts to make parents include earn
ings of their children-teen-a ayers, baby
sitting or caddying for example-as
part of the parents taxable income.
Understandable enough, many moth
ers and fathers are aghast at this idea
They point out, among other things,
that it is a sure way to destroy any
incentive the children might have and
thus is probably a contribution to juve-
nile delinquency. And indeed there is
something of a reduction-to- absurdity
air about this business of taxing the
little children
But without getting into the deeper
philosophical implications, we wou d
just like to ask simple practical ques-
ton. Whatever gave the tax-takers the
improbable idea that Juniors earnings
add anything to Fathers?

By-Racial Conferences

President Eisenhower has
come up with a suggestion for
Southerners to hold -bi-racial
conferences in the cities of the
South. bringing together the
leaders of the white and Negro
races for discussions on har-
mony. The idea has merit and
can accomplish results, if per-
sons attending realize the need
and discuss the race problem
frankly and in good faith.
The idea of bi-racial confer
enceS is not new. It has been
tried before. In fact the writer
was the author Of the idea to
hold a bi-racial conference be-
tween the leaders Of white and
colored races in Mississippi.
That was shortly after the ST.
preme Court decision on school
segregation IN 1854, and the Ne
groeS were being inflamed by
professional agitators. The idea
was to reach mutual understand
ing and avoid trouble. We had
faith in certain Negro leaders

Vacation Or Rest

THIS is the time of year to plan your
summer vacation. Most American
families utilize the summer months for
their major annual vacation although
some like to break the monotony of
their work in spring or fall, or even
winter. For those who are planning to
vacation in the summer, the hour is
getting late for making final arrange
ments.
There are several precautions one can
take to make certain that his vacation
is not bust. First of all, he should
confirm his reservations, and make
them we'll in advance. Second he should
make his plans so as not to be hurried
at the last minute, OF hurried on the
highway, once he has started out.
And now We come to the real crux of
the question. Many Americans need a
vacation after they have taken their an
nual summer vacation. They actually
wear themselves out in fit of frantic
effort trying to see everything, do
everything and cram it all into the space
of a few days
All of which brings us around to the
solution. A vacation should be time
of rest for the elder members of
family. For the youngsters, adventure,
sightseeing, and hectic pace may be
quite enjoyable. However, for the fami-
ly, happy medium must be struck.
Therefore, one should choose as a
vacation spot a place where the parents
can get some rest It is better, in our
humble opinion, to spend one week Cor
two) in one place and get rest, and
really enjoy the scenery and flavor of
that vacation spot, than to see several
places during one summer vacation.
Of course, no rules apply to all peo-
pie, and these are merely suggestions.
But the Z. S. vacationer often makes
the same mistake of his perhaps richer
counterpart, who takes summer cruise
to Europe each year. Too many U. S.
travellers, travelling abroad, attempt
to see all of Europe in thirty days, and
that includes some ten countries. or
more
In other words, they are on the train.
or ON bus, or travelling by car or
plane, practically every day or two, in
desperate bid to see it all. Their pur
pose would be served much better. if
they are seeking vacation, and if they
are seeking to understand the way the
peoples in Europe live, and their habits
and customs, if they were to 90 and
stay IN one country for month, or in
; one country for two weeks, and another
for two weeks. They would then enjov
