On the sixth anniversary of the
historic US. Supreme Court ruling
that racially segregated public
schools are unconstitutional, only
six per cent Of the Negro children
of school age in the southern and
border states have been released
from the bondage of segregated
education.
And Jim Crow education contin-
ues to be bondage. According to
the Southern Education Reporting
Service for the school year 1856
81 Mississippi spent S1s7.33 per
white child in daily attendance but
only S1O7.34 per Negro child.
Cheating Negro Children
This kind Of cheating, six years
after the Supreme Court ruling,
is Gripping the Negro citizen of
1860. The only cure is desegrega-

rate than the creeping average of
one per cent year. There are

Ralph Bunche Says
Sif-Down Strikes
Are Justified

Chicago CAMP - The Univer-
sity of Chicago conference on
world tensions turned its atten-
ton to the United States here last
week as Ralph ]. Bunche, one Of
seven Nobel prize winners on the
program, endorsed sit down dem
onstrations by students in the
South.
Bunche, under-secretary general
of the United Nations and one Of
the Nobel laureates, defended
direct action" by American Ne
groes to end discrimination against
them.
Discussing recent developments
in the south, Bunche said:
Logical And Justified"
1T is, to be sure, unfortunate
that such manifestations as the
sitdown demonstrations have had
to take place. But they are as
inevitable as they are logical and
justified.
"These demonstrations have
been spontaneous and it is a
shameless slur for anyone to sug-
gest that these young people are
inspired by sinister forces from
outside their communities. They
know what their privileges and
rights are and they are determined
to achieve them by every legal
means"
Bunche said he is proud OF his
ancestry, just as he is proud OF
his nationality. II ask only that
the one be as much respected as
the other" he said.

Illinois College
Prof To Contest
Court Decision

Montgomery Ala. (ANP)-Ala-
bama officials are, unwittingly,
lending a hand to the South's sit
downers by possibly Fastening a
high court determination on the
constitutionality of whites and
Negroes eating together in public.
Last week, Prof. Richard Ne
smith of MacMurray college in
Jacksonville, Ill, announced his in
tention to carry to the state court
of appeals his fight against 500
fine and costs growing out of an
informal interracia dinner here
March 81.
Nesmith and IL white students
from MacMurray college were or
iginally convicted on disorderly
conduct charges in city court based
on their eating with seven Negroes
in a Negro cafe.
On appeal to circuit court, an
all white jury dismissed charges
against all the students. but held
Nesmith guilty and Judge Eugene
Carter imposed the fine.
Atty. Clifford Durr, represent
ing Nesmith was denied a new
trial, then sail he would take the
case to the state court of appeals
Meanwhile Nesmith is under 81 SOC
bond
The Negroes arrested with the
MacMurray students are to be
tried at a later date.
There is a strong possibility that
/ if Nesmith continues to fight the
charges, the case might go before
the United States Supreme Court
In that event a favorable ruling
would mean that interracial dining
is not grounds for a charge of dis
orderly conduct and by inference
would indicate high court disap
prevail of laws prohibiting Ne
groes and whites dining together
in public.
Ironically when the sit down!
were launched in February, a mum
Der of Southern states had NJ
laws prohibiting Negroes AM
whites eating together in public.
One such state was North Car
DINA where the sit down demon
STATIONS got their start. Alabama
on the other hand, had repealed
its law just prior to the Mac
Murray college incident.
II don't believe that even an,
prima facie case Of disturbing tn
peace has been established by tn
evidence in this case" DUR arg
ued during the trial.
Observing that the city had re
pealed the only local statute for
bidding members OF both races t
dine together in restaurants, Dur
argued that: Like it or not, the

Consequently, he argued, the

Great Deal Is Learned
From a Juror-Wife
County Law

High School civic teachers are apt to
teach their students that the jury system is,
like French pastry and English muffins a
part of the American way of life. Those poll.
ticians who seek a safe position on an uncon-
tested issue are apt to splutter that the Amer.
lean jury is, like the cocker spaniel and the
Washington Senators, here to stay. used to
think the same way. But that was before I
lived with Montgomery County juror for
one entire term of court. Since then 1 am not
so sure, nor am sure that care very much.
My wife, prior to jury duty, had been
reasonable person who took care of a home,
two dogs and two children in a normal way.
She even attended church and made plausible
excuses, it is hoped, for the sometimes out
rageous conduct of her husband But since
becoming a member of the elite of Montgom-
cry County, juror, she has become critical,
superficial, argumentative, sarcastic and
hair-splitting. In short, she behaves like
sea lawyer.
She received $40 day for her services as
a juror and earned total of $140. However
during the time that she was in the Rockville
Court House, the home caught on fire, the
office burned to the ground, the wind blew
the slate off the roof the pipes froze, the chill
dren caught colds and the dog had pups. This
is high price to pay for jury service: but all
of those little complaints can be tucked away.
But there are. other more serious COM
plants that cannot be as lightly dismissed.
When a lawyer comes home for dinner after
getting knocked down all day by judge, he
can reasonably expect to be king in his own
castle. But the juror, having been silent all
day, now proceeds to compensate by extolling
the virtues of the very judge who pinned this

Opinions
Stop Closing Schools
During Bad Weather

It's about time the Board of Education
gave serious thought to abandoning its un.
realistic and anachronistic policy of closing
all schools practically every time it SHOWS.
The spectacle of more than 100 schools
costing anywhere from 100000 to 81 million
each shutting down merely because it is diff
cult to get to handful of buildings in the
rural area is a paradox that the taxpayers
should no longer be forced to tolerate.
This condition was pointed up dramatical
ly one day last week. when some Of the rural
roads leading to less than score of schools
were hazardous, although not completely i'm.
passable.
On the same day, every major road in the
heavily populated suburban area was clear
and disable both by school buses and by chill
dren travelling on foot. 1t is in this area that
approximately 80 per cent of the county's
$4,000 school children live.
Yet, officials ordered all schools closed
throughout the county. This Is clear case
Of the tail wagging the dog.
1t is time for the School Board to face up
to the fact that Montgomery County, with
population in excess of 100000, is in effect a
good-sized city. 1t is extremely doubtful if
any similar city anywhere else in the Nation
closes the doors of all its schools just because
students can't get to few of them in bad
weather
Admittedly, uniform opening and clos
ing policy is essential in a school system as
