NAACP Moves To
Protect n. Y.
Negro Families

New York = The NAACP has
moved to stop eviction from four
Long Island communities of 578
Negro families who have not been
provided new homes as required
under existing urban renewal laws.
The communities of Rockville
Centre, Long Beach, Huntington
Station and Glen Cove now have
578 Negro and 1O8 white families
living in Slum areas, earmarked
for removal under urban renewal.
Only 108 low-rent units are being
built for these families, the re-
naming new housing is designed
for middle-income families at rent
ais or sale beyond the financial
reach of the current residents.
This means that rs per cent of
the families will have to look else
where, according to Jack Wood,
NAACP housing assistant.
Housing officials from the four
towns say that residents will be
placed ''in other parts of the COM
munities."
The NAACP asserts that this is
impossible for the Negro families
because they are excluded from
all residential areas, except the
slums.

Negro voters in Baltimore is
steadily approaching parity with
that of white voters. l,4...,.
With more than 100000 Negroes
enrolled, these voters now consti-
Itute more than a quarter Of the
city's total of 4O7,5O registered
voters. In 1855 there were only
Y, 300 colored voters in Baltimore.
The continuing campaign to en-
large this vote has been conducted
under auspices of the Baltimore
NAACP.
Negroes account for 35 per cent
of the city's total population and
27 per cent of the total registered
vote. In part, this is because a
larger proportion of Negroes is
under 81 years Of age than Of
whites
The expansion of the Negro vote
has been accompanied by a de-
cline in the number of white voters.
In 1855 there were $4,000 white
voters. That figure is now down to
299. 800.
Commenting on the rise Of the
Negro vote, the Baltimore Even
ing Sun said: 1T means an In

STATISTICAL REPORT
SUBMITTED TO
VIRGINIA COURT

Richmond, Va-Instead Of a plan
for desegregation, as required by
Federal District Court Judge Oren
r. Lewis, the Prince Edward Coun-
ty school board has submitted a
statistical analysis of the county'S
school-age population and report
on parents willingness to send their
children to desegregated public
schools.
Submission of the so-called plan
was followed the next day, Nov.
Is, by an order of Judge Lewis
affirming his memorandum opin-
ion of Aug. %, and continuing his
jurisdiction over the issue as to
whether the public schools may
be closed to avoid desegregation
until after the final decision of the
Supreme Court of Appeals of Vir-
ginia on the suit filed in that court
to compel the county board to re-
open the public schools, closed
since 1859.
The judge also ruled that his
restraining order of Aug. % BAN
ming local and state funds for "pri-
vate' schools shall remain in eff
feet until 20 days after the Virginia
Supreme Court rules on the con-
stitutionality of school closing to
circumvent a federal court desc
gregation order. At that time, he
said. the order shall stand dis

The Prince Edward County
school report of Nov. IS confesses
the incompetency of the board
members ito attempt to project
their minds to factual situation
beyond which these questionnaires
show exist in the county. :"
According to the boards survey,
the parents of 1,O96 Negro chill
dren and only 13 white youngsters
would agree to have their children
attend desegregated schools. Ques-
tionnaires were sent to the par
entS of 1,168 Negro children and
1929 white children.
The board supposed that any
plan filed by a school board and
approved by the court is plan of
some permanence and that all con-
cerned have some reason to place
reasonable reliance thereon.
Further, the board asked per-
mission ito consider the matter
on the basis of these things which
now appear to be facts and to make
a report to the court concerning
what now appears to be the best
manner to open public schools in
the county, if funds are made avail
able for their operation. for those
children whose parents have in
dicated that they will attend pub
lie schools, if they are opened" "

The Republican leadership
conference, which speaks for
the party on policy matters in
Congress, has rejected a move
to add Senator Goldwater of
Arizona as a permanent mem
Der.
Supporters of Senator Gold
water, who heads the Republi-
can Senatorial Campaign Com
mittee, had urged that he be
given a voice in framing policy
statements made after regular
weekly meetings Of the leaders.
An avowed conservative, Sen
ator Goldwater is a potential
candidate for the 1864 Repubi-
can Presidential nomination.
The conference was formed
by top Republicans in Congress
to make up for the loss of
the party sounding board the
COP. had when leaders held
weekly White House confer
ences with then President
Eisenhower.
Although the conference is
presided over by National
Chairman Thruston B. Nor
ton, Senate Minority Leader
Dirksen and House Minority
Leader Halleck do most Of the
talking for public consumption.
Senator Dirksen and Mr..
Halleck probably would vince
at being described as liberals.
They don't find very much Of
value in most Of President
Kennedy's proposals. But they
hardly match Senator Gold
waters outright opposition to
just about everything Mr.. Ken
nedy offers In the domestic
field.
Senator Goldwater's friends
proposed to the conference sew
eral weeks ago that he be made

said II any such action were
taken, they would want a con-
ference seat for the head Of

would give the Conservatives
an over-balancing voice in
policy matters.

US. Points With Pride To 5Oth Anniversary Fur Seal Treaty

WASHINGTON R - The U. s. government pointed with pride Saturday to the 50th anniversary of a treaty that saved the fur seal herd-and the warm coats it's pro- duces.
 Secretary of the Interior Stew art l.. Udall called attention to the July anniversary of the historic signing by Japan, Russia, Great Britain (for Canada and the United States. The action put U. s. conservation on an inter national basis for the first time.
 The treaty put an end to the killing of fur seals on the high seas and provided a formula for sharing the kills made on the Pribilof Islands rookeries.
 The first treaty agreement was disrupted by World War II but new treaty was signed Feb. 9, 1857 by the same nations except that Canada signed for itself.
 A new summary of the Pribilof fur seal operations published by the Bureau of Commercial Fish cries shows the Pribilof herd in- creased from about 132,000 in 1910 to about Is million now.
 The first step this country took in 1911 to conserve the seals was to prohibit for five years all killings on the Pribilofs except animals the natives killed for food.
 This reduced the kill to 2,500 to 5000 seals year from high that had reached as many as 225, 901 during 1867 and 1868.
 Killing was resumed in 1918, with 34,890 skins taken that year
 Female seals were given com plete protection untl 1855 At that time biological studies indicated the herd had stabilized at Is mill lion and that disease and other natural causes were not taking any excess.

The two have been at odds
