The Coming Harvest

The horror which everyone in Britain feels at what
has been done is shared by many white South Afr
cans. They include not only and women of British
stock but considerable section of the Afrkaner pub
lie, especially at the Cape and by negligible
cosmopolitan leaven of immigrants from Europe
So long it possible to think that DR.. Ver-
woerds undenable paerna regard for the Banu might
lead him to learn from experience and to avoid clash
with them, most OF his own supporters in the Nation
ast Party and of his opponents had confidence
in him the outstanding personality in public life
Now he has made it plain that he does not learn from
experience If he did, he would not have allowed Mr..
Erasmus to talk Of breaking unprecedented reign Of
terror"
responsible Minister expect as result of goadng the
sefrespectng Africans into rage than that the tough
er elements among them would begin throwing their
weight? The remedy against playing into the hands
of extremists is to treat with reasonable representatives
of the people Instead they have been gaoled and with
them unnamed and unnumbered whites, many of whom
it is certain have the confidence of the black leaders
and would be invaluable in the opening up of what
must be the extremely delicate business of friendly
inter-racial relations.
Where and when split might come in the Ma
tonaist Party ranks cannot at the moment be fore
that the less fanatca Nationalist, including some
members of the Ministry, have been showing increasing
signs of restlessness. Trust in Dr. Verwoerd pro-
fessona psychologist has been shaken by his spectacu
lar display of ignorance of the workings of human
ture If the wiser heads inside the concluded that
they prepared for break, then there would be
little difficulty in apply that traditional solution of

The extraordinary hardness of making the change

things work in the Union The wretched "Boer against

illusion of the frightened poor whites that the only way

The Biloxi Incident

The race rioting that broke out down the Biloxi
beach last Sunday is bound to have brought to the at
tention of all thoughtful and responsible Mssissppians
regardless of race, especially those who are looking
ahead to better future in relations, and better
future economic and spiritual growth in the state the
result of the purely negative attitude, dOnothng ap
proach to the solution of the states race problem
prevalent in all too many responsible areas OF state
power and authority
We contend that the great mass of Negro citizens
of the state are not nearly much concerned about
segregation racial separation they are about the
stark discrimination practiced in the name OF segre
cation.
The denial of place the Biloxi beach front for
Negroes to swim is evidence of such stark dis
elimination. e3e
We would therefore suggest to the City Fathers at
Biloxi disregarding that small minority who see inte-
grafton the only evidence of equality under the law,
that section OF the beach front be opened primarily
for Negro use, but public swimming place open to
ALL and thus remove the stark evidence OF dscrmina-
ton the real of the major hurt and of
the great majority of Negro Citizens.
roting as we noted the identity with the incident Dr.
Gilbert Mason, graduate of famed Howard University
in Washington De- about another Howard University
medical man, DR.. Charles Drew, whose discoveries in
the field of blood pasma did to advance the
of equality of the than anything he could have
possibly done doctor in the field of political action
1t appears to that the great discoveries yet to
be made regarding the of cancer heart disease
arthrs and the Gripping childrens diseases and the
broad field of medical research would give little time
to the really dedicated doctor for leadership in poti
cal action.
We glad to read the report that Dr. Mason
denies being the leader of the Negro group, such
words, matter how urgent the rebutta and the mag
nitude of the accusation, anyone is unmtgated,
calculated and pathological liar is not the language of
diplomacy and craftsmanship and goodwill.
Craftsmanship and goodwill but serves only to
form the statement of the famed British LAWYER phil
Osopher and statesman, Edmund Burke, who in his
famed essay the French revolution asserts that the
sides OF sick beds and the arms Of dentists chairs are
not the places to train statesmen and the leaders of
the people.

JSc Music Dept.
Stages Opera
AT Lanier
BY Melvin c. Virgins

| The Music Department of jack
son State College presented to the
teachers and students of Lanier
High School an excerpt from Act
III of Charles Counod's Opera
Faust" during a regular assem-
bly, period.
Although the program was stag
ed during the day, the lighting
effect was quite impressive, be-
cause the auditorium was appro-
priately darkened with special cur
tains.
The realistic stage setting, Civ
ing the impression of beautiful
flower garden, and the quality of
the production itself were so eff
fective that even the junior high
students appeared deeply appre-
ciative.
The quality of the production,
without doubt, lay in the master
full performance of the four young
artists who rendered the program.
Their voices-two sopranos, one
tenor, and one bass-were excep-
tionally resonant and were superb
ly controlled. In the duets, trice,
and quartets, there was that quail
ity of blending that creates the
kind of harmony most music low
ers like to hear.
II Compared with other college op-
cratic singers, the students from
Jackson were exceptionally good.
/, Miss Dorothy Coleman, a soprano,
was outstanding in her articulation
# and dramatic Interpretation of
Marguerite, the leading female
character.
- The other performers and the
'-rules portrayed by them were
Charles Geter, tenor-Faust; Miss
Myrtle Plate, soprano Martha
Schwertlein; and Douglas Burns,
bass-Mephistopheles.
Other persons equally creditable
for the success of the production
were Robert Harris, general direc-
tor; Mrs. Emma Goldman produc-
ton director; Mrs. Sarah Dickens,
costume mistress; Mrs. Gladys r.
Henderson musical coach and ac-
fcompanist; Isaac Leigh, stage
/. manager; Peter Lane stage dec
: grafton; and J. Y. Woodland seem
cry construction.
Representing the students and
teachers Of Lanier, Principal Buck
ley said in his closing remarks,
!. This is certainly unique gesture
by the Music Department of Jack
son State College to take the time
to bring such cultural treat to
the Lanier family without pay
even for expenses. We deeply ap-
preciate their contribution to the
aesthetical development of our
young people.

10 Families Spent
More On Politics
In SO Than COPE

Ten families spent more money
on politics last year than did
Cope lot more. According to
reports filed with the Clerk of
the U. S. House of Representa-
tives, as required by law, these
10 families spent a total of $142,-
989.49: The Rockefellers ($29 ,OO0),
MELONS ($25, 0O0), DuPonts ($24,-
989.49), Whitneys ($16,O00), Olins
($10,000), Fords $4,000, Pews
($8,000), Harrimans ($7,O0O),
Pratts ($7,0O0) and Wallaces, the
Readers Digest people $4,000. In
contrast, COPE spent only $685.
107.07-or almost $34, 900 less.
OF the total of $4,986,653 which
was spent on politics in 1859, the
Republicans shelled out $2,841, 614,
the Democrats $780, 37, and 20
labor organizations $263,373. Ex-
penditures by unions amounted to
just 5.3 per cent Of the total.
Those by Republicans equaled 81
per cent, those by Democrats 1853
per cent.
What rich families spent last
year is, Of course, chicken feed
compared with what they will dish
out in the Presidential elections in
1860. 1t will be recalled that in
1866, IL wealthy families spent
some $212, 900 more in the political
campaign that year than did Is
million trade unionists. And their
contributions almost without ex-
ception were spent on candidates
who were anti-labor and pro-Big
Business.

ever, that there had been a reser-

South Africa has consistently
insisted that the United Nations
has no authority to interfere in
her internal affairs" Mr.. Ham,
marskjold's statement indicated
that the South African authorities
would not waive that contention
when they received him there.
Diplomatic observers believe
that the announcement of Mr..
Hammarskjold's plan probably end
ed the possibility of further quick
action by the Security Council on
the South African issue. Some
representatives of Asian and At
rican nations recently have argued
for a new session of the Council
to impose economic sanctions
against South Africa, should the
Government decline to deal with
Mr.. Hammarskjold.

which was the death of its most
able Negro leaders and the lack
of any effort to train younger men
to take their places, along with
the fact that Perry Howard, the
National Committeeman who made
his home in Washington shortly
after he was elected to the office,
rarely came back to the state for
more than once every four years.
The work Of the party organiza-
ton in the state had been left al
most soley to S. w. Miller, of
jackson and Mrs. Edna Redmond
Lovelace, of Jackson, the National
Republican Committeewoman.
Whether members Of the Lily
White organization will be recog-
nized as National Committeeman
and Committeewoman at the COM
ing National Convention remains
to be seen but to most observers
it now appears certain.
A scheduled meeting of the
Black and Tan group to have been
held in Jackson last Thursday was
repeatedly indefinitely postponed
The main reason given for the
postponement was the failure Of
Perry Howard to arrive from
Washington for the meeting.

Unless you build a gate as we'll
This young race is running wild

And the end is nothing but hell.
Too much glory and Amen preached
With no Christ say in the man
You had better build some gates

If you expect to save this young

A fence without gate at all
Is no good to Craze your stock
And bank to put your money in
1t no good without lock.
This modern day the young admire
They pitch their party at midnight
Loosing the standard of our race
And raising hell and fighting all
night.
Can Christ get in this race
1t looks like a narrow chance
Their minds have turned to all
kinds of games
And at midnight ball room dance.
Why can't others see like me
We need a pasture fenced with a
gate
If you can't build a fence like this
Pm afraid it's not too late.
There is no more Heaven or He'll
And the new day looks the same
What we need is good moral today
That will bring us back some
shame
What we need is pure love at home
Where man and wife can abide
Where the world can see oneless

And neither one is trying to hide.

Where man and wife abide &
They always wear a smile on their
