Not YET In SiQhS

Several gains and some setbacl1s
were recorded on the integration
front during the past month, AMP
writer's stated this week.
Most noteworthy gains were
made in Louisville, KY, and Okla
homa, but important pro-integra-
tion decisions were also handed
down by the US. Supreme court
In Louisville, total Of s4.e per-
cent Of all its public school pupils
are reported to be attending In
tegrated schools-an increase Of
6.5 percent over last year.
A further breakdown Of the fig
ures, as given by School Supt.
Omer Carmichael, shows that in
tegration is moving forward, even
II slowly.
The breakdown shows a total
enrolment Of 46,740, a decrease Of
90 from last year; Negro enroll
ment as 14,766, an increase Of 294;
white enrolment as 31,s4s, a de-
crease Of 965.
Gain In MIXED Schools
The total students in integrated
schools Is 39,431, compared with
SO, ,450 last year. All-white schools
total nine, while there are four
all-Negro schools. Sixty-two Of the
city's rs schools are integrated.
Louisville also made progress in
another area Of education. In a
speech before the Jefferson County
Sunday School association, Car
michael reported that Negro teach
ers (10) have been integrated into
the city's school system without
trouble.
I'VE have experienced almost no
specific problems at all and not a
single call came from a single
parent wanting his child moved
out Of a Negro teachers class u
he explained.
Carmichael praised the compel.
ance and integrity Of the Negro
teachers and the cooperative spirit
Of the whites.
Oklahoma also presents an en-.
couraging picture. A survey con.
Quoted by State Schools Supt. Ol,
iver Hodge shows a total Of 1905
pupils enrolled in integrated schools
throughout the state. The report
also reveals that 324 school dis.
tricts now have Negro children. A
year ago, there were 1853.
The lone bleak spot in the report
concerns the rise in the number
Of unemployed Negro teachers due
to integration. A total Of $50 lost
their jobs when all-Negro units
were closed under the integratior
program.

1t was an afternoon Of merri-
ment for a group Of young girls on
Wednesday, December 80, when
the little Misses Patsey Tarver and
Melinda Slider were co-hostesses
at a holiday luncheon-tea party at
the Tarver residence, 603 st. An
thony Av.
Guests were served lunch and
tea from the hostesses' new tea

Each girl brought her doll which

When my daughter Martha was
three years old, l took her to
New York's Museum of Natural
History. Gazing in awe at the
immense whale, she exclaimed:
"My he's big. He's almost as big
as Norman Thomasp"
Her perception of actual size
may have been inaccurate, but
not her instincts. I've never
known man with bigger heart
or one who worked harder for
decency and justice than Nor
man Thomas, whose 18th BIRTH
day was on November goth.
Thomas was enraged by cor
ruption wherever he found it. 1t
was he who initiated the charges
of graft and bribery which led to
the Seabury investigations of the
Jimmy Walker administration in
New York City. Before the smoke
cleared, several judges went to
jail and mayor resigned in dis
grace.

We have seen a few of the
letters written to newspapers by
ministers as a result of the above

are splitting their sides.)
AS to the eventual outcome,
we just don't know. We sort of
suspect that if the matter is
brought to a vote enough of us
will sober up and go to the polls
again to vote dry.
We just can't help it -. our
bet is on the bootleggers. You see,
they're about the most sober

All that we are really justified
in concluding from the results
there is that Kennedy cannot be
laughed off or dismissed out-of-
hand as political amateur. If he
wants it he probably has clinched
second spot for himself on the
Democratic ticket. If he goes on
to make good showing in Wis
consin april 81 he will certainly
be regarded as a major contender
for first place.
Of course, there will be a seri-
Gus "Stop Kennedy" movement
started now and it will not be a
one-man show, limited mainly to
Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon. It's
quite likely that the hackers of
Sens. Hubert Humphrey, Stuart
Symington and Lyndon Johnson
will go to work on every aspect
of the Kennedy record, from the
days when he began his opera

facts of life. The years have
proven that prohibition is not
the solution. AS a matter OF fact,
no one knows the solution, not
even medical science. We do
know that those who seek TO
escape will do so -. in one way
or another.
It would seem practical. to
legalize liquor, collect the tax,
use it on education in the hope of
teaching whatever it is that needs
teaching to cause people to face
reality
Such a possibility, of course, IS
opposed to the big bootlegging
interests, and even possibly to
morals of the purer kind. (The
latter we sort of doubt, frankly)
However, with regard to the
latest joining of hands by the
Baptists with the bootleggers,
the Chairman of the Temperance
Committee of the Mississippi
Baptist Convention Board, along
with the Executive Secretary of
the Mississippi Church Council
for Alcohol Education wrote a
letter to the 1885 Baptists minis
tiers in the State. (This number
strikes us as exceeding the total
number of Christians in the
State; however, we could be
wrong)
The letter in behalf of the
bootleggers reads as follows:

But the ruins or cities in Africa,
the unearthing of statuary, Of
bronze and copper ware, iron
tools and gold beads should teach
us that a culture OF their own
had been developed, only to be
destroyed by marauding tribes
with the same instincts as the
white of Europe and America.
Some tribes also wanted slaves
and the peaceful tribes, as al
ways, had to suffer because of
the predatory ones.
Ancient as well as modern his
tory should teach us this, if we
are teachable. But as Davidson
writes - However simple the
achievement when laid beside
the cathedrals of Norman Europe
or the poetry of Dante, the iron
age civilization was even SO the
product of pioneering triumph in
the solving of problems never
before solved IN SuDcOnC1nenJdl
Africa. For once these solutions
are laid beside the barren reality
from which they came, they can
be seen in quite another light:
law and order, technical progress,
the gathering of wealth, the ac-
emulation of knowledge, the
growing mastery over nature =
all these are seen to emerge from
the void. This might not be a
Golden Age of innocence and
bliss, although the morals of it's
tribal loyalty could be firmer
and more to be admired, often
enough, than those of later
world would know, it was none
