Taps For John Wesley Dobbs
From: The Atlanta Daily World

The peaceful passing of Grand Master John
Wesley Dobbs of the Georgia Masonry brings a
missing link in the golden chain of tender men,
cries and oratorical performance for which he
was noted in his own right throughout the land
Always in demand an after-dinner speaker,
memorial day orator and veritable authority in
the field of legend, history, tradition and things
Masonic in general, Grand Master Dobbs held his
own for almost half century on the battle front
of America
Few men in any generation enjoyed wider
audience, toerable perspective or a
glamorous far-flung pleasable personality.
Having been born near the turn of the century,
John Wesley Dobbs to from the win
dow where he was born in Cobb County, Georgia,
new day dawning upon his people just rising after
the smoldering embers of the burning of Atlanta
let through that immortal hymn of Julia Ward
Howe, Mine eyes have seen the glory of the COM
ing of the Lord
Truly did young Dobbs' eyes behold that glory
ard by its swing did he seize what opportunity
that came within his grasp to take his stand
among the immortals who were to keep the staff
up and the old flag a-flying.
Like many another native intellectual of his
group, who had no other avenue for lofty service
than in the mail service, John Wesley Dobbs join
ed the ranks of struggling men, more handsomely
described in Weborn Victor Jenkins immortal epic
hymn, up In Front In the Danger Zone" dedicated
to the men in jeans who plugged away through the
storm and night getting the mails
But, Dobbs did not see the end of his objective
the grind of the letter and the newspaper
racks, something buzzed in his bonnet of higher
and greater things he might do while the lamp
of light held out to burn. Through his first love-
Masonry, he opportunity to lead his people
to higher ground. The Orphanage, a school at
Americas, was his medium for touching the youth
of his day and thousands received the inspiration
generated from his efforts.
Across Georgia and the land, Masonry received
his inspiration and took many avenues of serv-
ice through the guidance of his master hand
The late Benjamin J. Davis and Henry Lincoln
johnson saw in him a great leader and by their
spirits he ndoctrinated in the principles of the
Republican Party where he labored for the eleva-
ton of his people and for the opportunity of free
expression of their desires at the polls
Few men had the capacity of history at COM
mand and few have even equaed him in accuracy
in memory and exactness in narration of events
and times genuinely and intensely American.
His restless nature, his world grasp, his acute
ness for facts and his leaning for tradition and
history have Injured him to the camping ground of
fame.

Quiet In Atlanta
From The Christian Science Monitor

Those who know Atlanta will not have been
surprised at the calm way in which desegregation
In the public schools began there Wednesday. 1t
is city with conscientious civic leaders, a capable
Mayor, and pride in beng cosmopolitan in a COM
Portable Southern way.
For all these reasons-and particularly be-
cause the citys leaders planned the advent of BIZ
racial schools so carefuiy-the useless bitterness
of Little Rock and New Orleans did not occur in
Atlanta. And the event noted with appreca-
ton by President Kennedy in his press conference.
;, Those racial extremists who sought to in
flame the situation there this week found they
were dealing with well-prepared aw-enforcement
officials. Just as important, they were dealing with
well-prepared public-one which had profited
from the contrasting lessons of futility in New
Orleans and progress in Nashville Most Atlantans
simply weren't willing to let some outside agitator
turn their reluctance change into violence and
hatred
Mayor Hartsfield, police and school officials
and the people of Atlanta can take pride in having
created quiet heard round the world

Mr.. Percy Greene
The Jackson Advocate
1861 N. Parish Street
Jackson, Mississippi
Dear Mr.. Greene:
| have been reading and pub
fishing and editing Negro weekly
newspapers for a good number
of years. / was publishing a
little country paper in Virginia
before l went to college and |
had held supervisory editorial
positions on three of our oldest
and largest race papers when |
left the field to return to teach
ing several years ago. So | can
understand what promoted the
underlying thinking in "Missis-
sippi's Civil Rights Roman Holt
day." But is this the whole story
in your State?
Almost twenty years ago,
Southern Negro leaders formed
regional organization, let it
be known that no outside help
was wanted or needed, and then
asked white Southern leaders to
help them work out solutions to
some of the pressing problems
of the area even within the
framework of the existing social
structure. I am sure you re-
member how these efforts were
met. A few white preachers and
teachers. and social workers saw
merit in the bi-racial approach
But the actual community lead
ers, the mayors, the statesmen
the big editors never took the
invitation seriously ano
Southern Negro leaders "los'
face" with the masses. An out.
standing white editor of an out.
standing daily paper published
in Virginia has rightly said that
this blunder on the part Of Sou
thern white leaders might have
caused Negroes in the South tt
look beyond their borders FOL
leadership. This was certainly
the case in Virginia and few
other Upper South areas.
Respectfully yours,
T. ]. Sellers.

Chairman Bailey said: "The
President has demonstrated that
there is no color bar in this
Administration and that citi-
zens generally who qualify and
have the ability to shoulder
great responsibility will be rec
ognized regardless of race"
AS examples he named such
recent appointments as Andrew
Hatcher of San Francisco, asso-
ciate White House press secre-
tary; Carl Rowan of Minneap-
oils, deputy assistant secretary
Of state for public affairs; John
Duncan of Washington, D. c.,
commissioner of the District of
Columbia; Mercer Cook of
Washington, D. c. Ambassador
to Niger and Clifton R. Whar-
ton of San Francisco, Ambassa-
dor to Norway.
Bailey's statement came as a
result of President Kennedy's
recent nomination of Judge
James B. Parsons to the Federal
bench. Upon confirmation by
the U. S. Senate, Judge Parsons
of the Superior Court of Cook
County will become the first
American Negro to serve as
U. S. District Judge in CONT
mental United States.
Bailey also noted that Judge
William HASTE of Philadelphia,
who is the highest ranking Ne
gro on the Federal bench US.
Court of Appeals, was appoint
ed by a Democratic administra-
ton.

dents they were there primarily
to learn.
DR.. Bethel made the state
ments during a television pro-
gram in which he was ques-
toned by four newsmen. The
panel members were Ken Toler,
Paul Tiblier, John Hebers, and
Dick Sanders.
Referring to the library sit
in by nine Tougaloo students
last March, DIR. Bethel said the
students felt since they paid
taxes they should benefit from
them. He said he respected
them for being willing to pay
the price (going to jail for
what they believe in.
I'VE feel the students ought
to make up their minds but they
must be willing to take the
consequences"
DR.. Bethel said the students
could have integrated the Ii
brary without trouble if they
had been ignored"
The nine students were ar
rested and convicted On charges
of breach of the peace and have
appealed. During their trial,
city police used trained police
dogs to dispense a crowd of
singing Negroes gathered out
side the courthouse.
Tougaloo, just north of the
Jackson city limits, is a four
year liberal arts co-educational
college, sponsored by the Amer
lean Missionary Association and
the United Missionary Society.
1t was founded in 1869 to edu-
cate young people in Mississippi
without regard to race. Never
theless the student body is en-
tirely Negro.
DR.. Bethel said that in recent
years, Chinese and Filipino stu
dents have attended classes. In
earlier years, he said, some
white students, mostly children
of the faculty, attended classes.
The faculty is integrated.
The school is the only Negro
school in Mississippi belonging
n the Southern Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools.

Second Request For Indignation

that "they were submitted on
unauthorized forms" Others
were denied because the appli-
cants were residents of an area
serviced by the schools to which
they had previously been as
signed.
The appeal denials followed a
public hearing of the school
board Monday night at the Full
Ter School where appeals were
heard from nearly 20 parents
and a battery of attorneys who
represented the other parents by
power of attorney.
The Board questioned each ap-
pellant about the blanks or
which the requests were filed
In most cases, appellants re-
piled that the blanks were OBJ
tanned from a member of the
youth Protest Movement"
In every instance, the board
asked the protesting parent il
thew still desired to have their
childrn enter predominantly
white schools and asked the
reason why.
The reason given were, in most
cases, because the child lives
closer to the predominantly
white school or because the
parent felt the child would get
better education at the pre-
dominantly white school.
Of major concern to most OF
the parents was the "criteria'
which the board repeatedly uses

Durham, N. c., Sept. 1-I'm
not going to say that the board
is purposely trying to block
Indignation. I'll just let the
figures and their actions speak
for themselves"
R. N. Harris, lone Negro
member of the Board of Educa-
ton, spoke these words Wednes-
day after the school board re-
leased information that the 1873
appeals by pupils seeking re-
assignment to predominantly
white schools had been denied.
His comment came in answer
to a question put to him by a
TIMES reporter.
Harris, who publicly criticized
the board for its actions in deny
ing the requests when they were
first taken under consideration
three weeks ago, declined to
comment whether he believed
there were any underlying rea-
sons for the denials other than
those given to the public.
He did say, however, that he
cast a negative vote to nearly
every motion to deny reassign-
ment.
Lee Hammer, Superintendent
of the school board, announced
late Wednesday that the board
had thoroughly considered each
application" and denied them on
the same grounds as stated
when the requests originally
came to the board.
Most of the applications were
denied at the earlier hearing
three weeks ago on the grounds

the population to stay "calm and

He said the UN had given
written assurances that the Ka-
tanga armed forces-apart from
the white officers-would not be
disarmed and that the move was
not intended to clear the way for
the entry of central government
troops into Katanga.

however, that his province had a
right to determine its own fu-
ture Independent of the central
government.

doesn't matter. Whatever you do,
don't put yourself on a strict travel
schedule.
q. Untcind BY yourself! If you have
a high-pressure, competitive job,
avoid vacations that will put you
into golf tournaments, fishing con-
tests or boat races where the ten
sions can build up again. More i'm
portant, have fun on your own, and
don't get yourself involved with
groups of people where you will
have to make new friends.

used to travelling great deal, settle
down in one place on your vacation.
If you have a sedentary job, try
travelling.
.. Remember home, S1ceet home!
If you are unusually tense, getting
far away from it ALL may not be the
tonic you expect. The strain of
packing and travelling, coming on
top of other stresses, may only make
matters worse. Strange as it may
sound, stay-at-home holiday with
side trips lasting one or two days can
help you relax better.
