leadership for the new Negro
middle class and think very
much like whites, even about
Negroes.
Negro intellectuals have pro-
duced no philosophers who
command the respect of the
world, he said. "The philosophy
implicit in the Negroes folklore
is infinitely superior to the OPP
portunistic philosophy of Negro
intellectuals who want to save
their jobs and enjoy material
comforts"
AS an evidence of the intel
lectual sterility of the Negro,
Frazier cited the fact that sig
nificant studies about the Ne
gro were being written by
white scholars while the Negro
cut himself off from his cul-
tural heritage and propounded
such questions as should Negro
artists paint Negroes, should
Negro authors write plays and
novels about the Negro.
Although the leaders of the
non-violent movement have gone
to India for philosophical justi-
fication of their revolt against
discrimination, the dynamics of
the movement are to be found
in the religious experiences Of
Negroes, he said.
when Negroes are forced to
flee hostile white mobs, they
do not sing Indian hymns, they
sing Negro spirituals and the
hymns of their fathers which
embodied the faith of their
fathers in a hostile world"
Frazier said that he couldn't
envision assimilation of the Ne
gro in the forseeable future.
"The best evidence of this is
the manner in which the centen-
NAL of the Civil War is being
celebrated. The important fact
about the Civil War is the
emancipation of the Negro. Yet
the nation has ignored and re-
pudiated the central fact. The
Negro is left out of the cele-
bration both physically and as a
! part of the heritage of Amer
ica," he added.

are entitled to be judged as in

"They contributed much" the
speaker said, Ito the establish

PARISH STREET SATUR-
DAY NIGHT: One thing that
Us old timers will have to ad-
NIT is that there has been a
great deal of improvement in
the business places up and down
the Ole Avenue in lighting, dec
grafton, cleanliness, courtesy,
and service over what it used
to be in the old days. And ]
like it despite the, fact that /
can set down over my fish and
beer and throw some pleasant
remembering about the days
when / was a boy, with a dime
clutched tight in my fist or in
the inside of my pocket, setting
in Jones' Cafe with my eyes
filling up with smoke and my
nose filled with the scent of
catfish, onions, Cuttings, and
what not as l waited to get
chance to order my dimes worth
of Cuttings, which was then
my regular Saturday nights re-
past, and was when you got as
many chittlings for a dime as
you get now for ninety cents.
As l think of those days, | feel
a sort of fascination as l mag
inc | hear the old time Counter
Man, Bro. Wash, who was ia
vorite of us kids, yell out when
he spotted one of us approach
ing the counter, "Give Me One
Order of Hog Bowls" Despite
the fact that l can set down
over my fish and beer and think
of those old times | know that
time and circumstances have
long ago demanded a change,
and that such old ways won't do
in that kind of business in this
modern day. Among the places
that are showing such improve
ments up and down the Old
Avenue some are owned and op-
Grated by Aunt Haggar's Chill
luns, and | notice that the plac/s
that are the prettiest, and look
the cleanest and have the most
lights, are doing the most bust
ness, and Aunt Haggar's Chill
luns are going in and spending
their money without asking
whether or not places are own
ed and operated by Aunt Hag-
gar's Chillun, which brings me
to what we were talking about
as we took on more and more
of my favorite Saturday night
repast. We got to talking about
the better looking places, and
some fellows said there used to
be some of Aunt Haggar's Chill
lun, operating cafes and other
businesses up and down the Old
Avenue that he said something
to several times about such i'm
provements that we note here
when they were the biggest OPP
orators on the Avenue and he
said that he was told that, "Col-
ored Folks don't preciate too
much finery," all they need is
a place to sit down and some
thing to eat. Well from what l
see going on if there's anybody
still running that kind of bust
ness for colored on Parish ST.,
as the old saying goes at
won't be long now"

the issue of desegregation and

According to reports, the Goa
homa Junior College band,
which the merchants and Cham
Der of Commerce had agreed on
having lead the Christmas pa
rade is admittedly the best band
in this locality, which of course
includes white and Negro high
school bands all of whom were
to have taken part in the pa
rade. The mayor objected to
having the Coahoma Junior Col
lege band lead the parade and in
the controversy that ensued all
Negro bands were barred from
the parade.
Negro leaders reaction to the
news that all Negro bands
would be barred from the pa
rade was to propose a boycott
of local merchants. Despite the
threat of boycott the parade
was held Saturday without the
Negro bands.
However, according to re-
ports, business in the city as
far as Negroes are concerned
was about normal beginning
this week for this season of the
year, as it appeared that the
boycott had been called off.
A prominent Clarksdale Ne
gro businessman, a leader in the
NAACP and Civil Rights activ-
tiles told the Jackson Advocate,
that there has since been sew
eral meetings of Negro and
white leaders, and in the dis
cussions, the responsibility for
the incident did not reflect the
general attitude of the white
community and as a result the
boycott was not being pushed.

1921 million less than Congress
appropriated for foreign aid
last year. But even if the House
goes along with its committee
the Senate probably will re-
store some Of the cuts. The two
Houses then will reach a mid
die ground.
S10.6 Million Available
The House Committee report
figures that with a new ap-
preparation Of $3.3 billion the
administration would have on
hand a total of sos billion
for all types of foreign aid. 1t
arrives at this total by count
ing $50 billion of prior ap-
preparations which were obli-
gated but not actually spent on
June 80; $1.9 billion in foreign
currencies available for use in
the program, and the $50 mil
lion unobligated balance of
military funds which is reap
propriated in this bill.
In explaining why it cut $400
million from new military aid,
the committee pointed out that
the new foreign aid authori-
cation bill gave the President
discretionary authority to
transfer up to $500 million
from this country's own defense
equipment to its allies. The
cut offsets three-fourths of the
discretionary authority.

In explaining why it cut the
Presidents contingent fund
from $500 million to SITS mil
lion, the committee indicated
it felt this fund had been used
in the past to get around con-
gressional reductions in other
items.
In passing the authorization
bill, the two Houses had al
ready cut the Presidents con-
tingent fund request from $500
million so that the appropria-
ton figure is actually 1925
million below the Presidents
request.

TAXPAYERS FRIEND
CopIin Spreads Word
Of fHumonized IRIS
, BY MARY McGRORY
Star Staff Writer

The Nations number one
tax gatherer, Mortimer NJ.
Caplin, is travelling the coun-
try these days on a mission
that might seem impossible on
the face Of it. He is trying
to "humanize" the Internal
Revenue Service, Of which he
Is commissioner.
Mr.. Caplin realizes that the
tax-collector has not been a
beloved figure down through
the ages. The Bible, the med
1eYal manuscript, the pages of
Damon Runyon all contain un-
flattering, not to say bitter,
references. An element of CO.
ercion on one side, a feeling
Of reluctance on the other have,
from the first, marred the re-
lationship between taxer and
taxed.
You must remember in the
old days." says Mr.. Caplin, who
has vowed never to forget he
is a taxpayer himself, people
didn't get anything for their
taxes. The peasant gave his
grain but what did he get back
no roads, no schools, no po-
lice protection. And, of course,
they didn't have withholding
and exemptions. In a decent
democracy, the citizen knows
his money comes back to him
in service. And only one-half
cent per tax dollar collected
goes into operating and main
tanning the IRIS"
AS a first step towards better
understanding, Mr.. Caplin is
trying to translate the Federal
prose of tax returns and form
letters into understandable
English. He has grappled per-
sonally with the Form l040. re-
dIced it from four pages to two.

that the Kennedy Administra-
ton cannot count on Congress
producing in full the $7.2 bill
lion over the next five years
for the new long-term approach
in helping leSs-developed coun-
tries.
The administration wanted
authority to borrow these de-
velopment loan funds from the
Treasury, arguing that expert
ence has shown year-to-year
appropriations we're too un-
certain to meet long-range
commitments. They said the
under-developed countries S
could not plan the reforms nec-
essary to make the program a
success without assurance of
long-range loans.
But the House refused to
grant borrowing authority and
in conference with the Senate
the administration accepted a
compromise retaining annual
appropriations but authorizing
the President to make long
range commitments, subject to
later appropriation. -,
Those who called this a sat-
isfactory compromise con-
tended the presidential COM
mitments would be a moral OBJ
legation on Congress to provide
the money.
New Estimates Needed
If Congress goes along with
the cuts recommended today
for the first year of the pro-
gram, administration support
ers will have to revise their
estimate of the value of the
compromise. President Ken
nedy two days ago called the
compromise wholly satisfac-
tory"
Although the total in the bill
under the heading of foreign
aid is $3.357, 500, 900. the meas
ure contains several items like
the Peace Corps which run the
total up to $3,555, ,245,0 900. This
overall total represents a cut
Of $1.4 billion below the Presi-
dents total estimates of $4.9

One of the big cuts outside
of foreign aid was the Peace
Corps reduction. Another was

Although compassionate, Mr.,

he has in mind is Ito assure
that taxpayers are better in
