There was BIG news at the
White House yesterday but it
took a while coming to the
fore.
Under the impression that
Messrs. David Finley, John
Walker and William Walton
and Mrs. Kennedy's interior
decorator Mrs. Helen Parish
were to be on hand to ex-
plain proposed changes in
the private quarters of the
President and his wife, this
columniSt whipped down to
the Casa Blanca to, get the.
scoop.
Also Press Secretary Pierre
Sahnger had said yesterday
that feminine and family.
news would be announced by
him at the regular daily
news briefings at II and
4::30. If we wanted to get it,
we had to be there.
At 4:45 we filed into
Pierre's office and heard a
few news announcements,
plus some grumblings from
the boys because most of Mr..
Kennedy's visitors seemed to
be slipping into the White
House by some entrance
where the press didn't see
them. (Mr: Eisenhower's visi-
tors generally walked right
through the press or west
wing lobby.) Then Mr.. Sal
niger impaired the news
that the art experts and
decorator had already left
the grounds, because they
weren't ready to discuss the
changes after such brief
preliminaries.
Nonplussed by this dearth
Of items of worth after
breaking my neck to make
the trek, ]. pressed the Press
Secretary for something
more pressing.
Well" he said facing
some Of the Nations top
news hounds, "the cat is ar
irving at 5 today"
A ripple of excitement
went through the room.
Meaningful questions start
ed coming fast and furiously
from the alert group.
What cat?"
"Caroline's cat"

whats its name?"
Tom Kitten"
What color is it?"
Il don't know" replied Mr..
.Salinger.
Its gray" said a report
er who had seen it at Hyan-
mis- Port.
rs it a Maltese cat?"
mo, it's an alley cat
kitten"
rs it a cat or a kitten?" I
persevered. This was some
thing the Nation had a right
to know.
IT don't know" aired
Pierre. How can you tell?"
IF it's, over 40, it's q cat,"
replied a woman archly. y
Which door will it use?"
asked one of the earlier
grumblers. a Pulitzer prize
winner, who obviously want
ed to see it come and go.
Where will it be housed?"
asked the practical type.
"Are they going to let it
out at night? That's normal
for cats, you know" put in
yours truly, recalling former
Illinois Gov. Adlai Steven
sons famous veto of the re-
stricting "Cat Bill" because,
he wrote. ut is in the nature
of cats to do a certain
amount of unescorted roam
ing"
II don't know" replied the
Presidents Press Secretary.
"How about a picture Of
it2"
If you will just clear out
of my office for 10 minutes
and let me think I'll see
what I can do about the
cat" responded Mr.. Salinger
in evaporation. He had
plainly reached the finale Of
his fund of feline facts.
Obediently we trooped out
into the lobby and waited
: for the newest development
on Caroline's furred friend.
This is the hottest news
we've had all day." ex-
claimed a noted byline.
In few minutes Assistant
Press Secretary Andrew
Hatcher came out into the
lobby and announced, "The
kitten is resting. Would you
mind waiting until tomorrow
to see it?"

Courts-"it was a great victory for
us The Gus" being the "team."
/ do not Quite understand the at
torney's reasoning at that point!
To go after something and get it
to me that's victory! On the
other hand-to go after something
and miss it's failure!
According to the article-we are
to be on the lookout for q news
paper whose mission will be to
"saturate this nation with the
truth" President Jackson does
not fear the truth" Those who
follow in his train do not fear the
truth" So, let the paper come
forthwith the "truth"-that is!
We are on our way to Kansas
City. We mean to have a great
Convention. And we are going to
do just that! / have no quarrel

sonal score to settle with any man
either in or out of the Conven-
ton! What fighting / have done

is regrettable. Confusion is re-
grettable. Wrangling is regret
table. But l would rather be a
Baptist with freedom to do any
or all of these-than to be some
thing else!
Now-all of this talk about
meeting with President Jackson
willingness to reach some agree
ment-has a strange sort of ring!
If this attitude and this Wiling
ness to counsel and conference had
obtained before Philadelphia-then
Philadelphia would never have
happened! But the days-yea-

Philadelphia were characterized by

DR.. Letson said the problems re-
sulting from the 1854 Supreme
Court decision ordering school de-
segregation have up to now been
a major concern Of legislative and
judicial officials.
But since the Georgia General
Assembly adopted open-schools
legislation in January, the weight
of the problems has been thrust
upon local officials and local citi-
zens.
These local people now have to
accept the responsibility to decide
the future of public education, he
said.
No one locally can stake it for
granted" that desegregation Of
the schools will proceed in a eli
mate Of good will and that the
disorders that have accompanied
desegregation in other cities will
necessarily be avoided here, he
said.
Hence, a great deal already is
| hein~ done TO enlist parents, teach
ers and school children themselves
" rrooram to avert any unto
ward happenings here, he said.
DR.. Letson said that the "tragic
events" in other cities have pro-
vided Atlanta an "object lesson"
for what must be avoided here.
His references to the city's forth
coming school desegregation were
made in a speech prepared for de-
livery to members of the Buckhead
Rotary Club Wednesday.
DR.. Letson said beforehand that
the remarks are the meat of what
ne is saying at every opportunity
to "all concerned"-pupils, teach
ers and citizens.
He said he is telling local citi-
zens that the city must come to
grips now with the problems it
faces and must decide now "what
course we shall follow"
The Atlanta school system is
under federal court order to con-
slider applications from Negro stu
dents for transfer from Negro to
white schools at the 18th and 18th
grade levels.
These applications may be re-
ceived this May and the presump-
ton of school officials is that
some Of the applicants will be ap-
proved for transfer to desegre-
gated schools.
DR.. Lessons appeal for orderly
and peaceful transfer from segre-
gated to nonsegregated schools
went like this:

neutrality! To say a man lacks
integrity-that he Cannot be
trusted" is a charge too serious
to be based upon ones feelings!
l challenge any man to come forth
with the proof that President
Jackson has ~ Promised him
something and did not keep his
promise, and (2) Sacrificed his
supporters to maintain his posi-
ton! I seem to recall hearing the
following incident: Somebody con-
fronted DIR. E. d. Billoups with
the proposition that he desert
President jackson and support DR..
$50 and So" DR.. Billoups prompt
ly and forthrightly turned down
the proposition. Then, in Phila-
delphia, President jackson was
confronted with a similar propo-
sition: I understand it went some
think like-"we can settle this
matter by making DR.. $50 and So"
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS." This as
you know would have meant sac
rificing DR.. Billoups-who was and
still is-Vice President-at-large!
Did DR.. Jackson SACRIFICE DR..
Billoups? He did not! Rather,
President Jackson made the fol-
lowing statement. 81 would not
sacrifice any man to make myself
secure"
The Convention has no prob
lem! Some of our brethren have
a problem! And it is a problem
Of their own creation! They have
the terrific and double barrelled
problem of how to destroy J. H.
Jackson and take the Convention
from the people!
It would be both presumptuous
and ridiculous to think or say that
DR.. J. H. Jackson is the only man
among us who can be President OF
our Convention! Whenever wis
dom suggests that a change be
made in the best interest of the
overall program of the Conven-
ton, then, such a change will be
made! l believe in change, but l

A great day was observed this
week at the Wilkinson County
Training School when the basket
ball teams Of both schools, Prem
tiss Institute and WCTS, enter
tanned students and friends with
sensational basketball games. The
Prentiss Institute won both games,
but the Wilkinson County Train

the Frentiss visitors with their
courtesy and hog Rlity.
They arrived 10y in the day
and gave an exhibition game for
the hundreds of students at WCTS.
Before the game, however, they
dined with glee in the spacious

do not believe in changing merely
for the sake Of changing! We are
going up to Kansas City next Sep
TENDER and re-elect President
jackson. We are not yet ready
to exchange experience for an ex-
pertinent! We are not yet ready
to trade performance for promise!
The meeting held Thursday af-
ternoon, September 8, was farce
and the so-called election was a
bigger farce! It is very much
true: National Baptists are de-
termined to have law and order
and are committed to top principle
and progress" and for these and
other reasons, National Baptists
are moving ahead with President
jackson and will continue to move
ahead with his safe, sane, sound
leadership! There has been no
talk Of putting anybody out Of
the Convention! And, those who
are out, are out because they did
not choose to be in! Yet, the way
remains open for their return!
Doctor Jackson and his group,
made up Of the Board Of Directors"
Here, the article under consid-
GRAFTON further attempts to mis-
lead the people-by inferring that
President Jackson has the support
OF the Board of Directors only!
II President Jackson had no sup
port save that Of the Board Of Di-
rectors - he wouldn't have the
support of the Board. President
jackson has the support Of the
Board because he has the support
Of the Convention and he has the
support Of the Convention because
he has the support Of the Board
of Directors.
Regarding he "fiery speeches"-
l seem to recall that one Of the
gentlemen in question made one
Of his "fiery" speeches in San
Francisco, Calf, which as it turned
out-meant nothing! Finally: The
article states-"The Regional Con-
vention flayed the failure Of the
Jackson outfit to properly sup
port the American Baptist Theo-
logical Seminary at Nashville,
Tenn"
Why didn't they tell the people
that the jackson outfit" gave
the Seminary the first $50, 100000
it has ever received? Why didn't
they tell the people that President
Jackson went all out in his sup
port of the Seminary until the
leadership of the Seminary made
it clear that it felt that it had a
better plan of supporting the Sem
mary than did the President of
the Convention? Why didn't they
tell the people that it was under
the Jackson administration the
convention paid Its quota OF the
Seminary's support and paid it in
advance?
Why didn't they tell the people
that when DR.. Jackson came to the
Presidency-The Foreign Mission
Board was receiving some $780,
100000 a year and now the Foreign
Mission Board receives 100000
q year.
N Why didn't they tell the people
that President Jackson has not
only led in appointing a Commits
sion to go and purchase land in
Liberia for a new type Of Mission
airy Program, but he has through
the Board of Directors led in pay
ing off mortgages and buying up
