What Are The New Frontiers?

Is this the end? Has civilization as we know it
come to close? Are the great cycles of time turning
reentlessy the tides of the ocean, about to swing
into orbits? Are the frontiers closed to us?
there no future?
Wrong! The only frontiers that have been closed are
those of geography The frontiers of the mind of re-
search and knowledge, virgin wilderness, marked
only by the foopahs of those intrepid adventures who
dared to think ahead.
Never before has there been such an opportunity to
learn Never before there many things to study
so much to be found out. Every day discoveries are
made beside which the conquests of Columbus or the
ancient voyagers pale into insignficance Each adj
venture in knowledge each discovery paves the way
for others far important to mankind - for each
er possibilities to the next inquiring mind
The impatient say: 1--WE want to get ahead. We
haven't the opportunities to out fortune for
ourselves the pioneers had"
Haven't the opportunity? With our three dmen-
siona lives opening up trades, professions
new types of work-or ways to improve old ones?
There are not the opportunities, and there no
jobs but the pioneers did not have easy lives and
their work not that to which they accustom
ed They had to learn And the frontier seekers of to-
day go further because of the efforts of those who
preceded them
Mans opportunity is limited only by mans knowl-
edge and his ability to utilize his experience There
always place in the world for the learning individual
for the who thinks, who wants to give his best and
to make his work the means of helping others.
The frontiers are not closed. Beyond them lies
challenge to stir the courageous in heart and spirit
"a challenge to do and dare and to find out!

Rev. Leon Horne, one time en-
ployee of the Jackson Advocate
and former student of Campbell
College, arrested as one of the
Freedom Riders here said Tuesday
he took the Freedom Ride from
Chicago simply to get free trip
back to Mississippi.
Horne, who. drew a four months
Jail term Monday for breach of
the peace along with other Freedom
Riders, told newsmen, "For those
others it might have been a free
dom ride, but to me it was just a
way to come home" "T'd rather be
in Jail here than free in Chicago"
81 was in Jail" in a sense in
Chicago" Horne said. 81 had nc
friends and no money"
Cup there if someone is sick, he
can lie on the sidewalk and die
unless he has money" the neatly
dressed Negro said.
He pointed out to newsmen that
when his mother was sick in Mad
ison County, the county welfare
department paid the bills.
Horne was asked if he would
advise Southern Negroes to go to
Chicago. eff they want to go up
there and die they can"
Touching on the so-called "free-
dom riders" Horne said he would
not advise anyone to become asso-
ciated with them unless it is an
emergency, as in my case"
Couldn't Find Job
81 just wanted to get home. l
was stranded up there and l knew
if l could get back home, every
thing would be all right but / did
not have any money to make the
trip" he said.
One of his companions, he said,
told him she had been in Cuba and
associated with the COMMUNISTS.
He said riders were "demoralized
characters" "They say God is on
their side but he's not" he said.
Horne said he went to Chicago
about two weeks ago after losing
a seasonal job in Florida restau-
rant, but could not find job in
Chicago.
He said he met representative
of the Congress of Racial Equality
(CORE) in Chicago last week and
agreed to take a freedom ride"
to Jackson. He said he did not
tell CORE he was from Mississippi.
Horne criticized the freedom
riders" in his news conference, at
tended by 10 reporters and few
officers. "They are radical
group" he said.
Better In South

about them you didn't like" He

replied. "Re-phrase the question
and ask me what it was about them
l liked. It'll come out to zero
every time"
Horne said the Negro in the
South is much better off than his
counterpart in the North. "Down
here the Negro has job opportuni-
ties and can keep in good health. !"
Horne said he personally didn't
blame the Southern white man for
resisting because eve are not ready
for equality"
"We sometimes forget that be-
fore We can really accomplish any
thing, we must develop little our
selves. The Southern Negro pro-
duces so little but consumes so
much" he said.
Collections
Horne said that Martin Luther
King, a Negero preacher and in
tegration leader, is a "shrewd fell
low-if he wasn't, he couldn't be
making as much money as he is
off the Negro"
He said racial incidents in the
South make it possible for integra-
ton forces to take up larger col
lections in the North, "then King
can buy a new pair of shoes and
Mrs. King can buy new dress"
Smiling over his free ride home,
Horne said, GORE is making a
fool out of some Negroes; why not
turn this thing around?"
Horne said the Negro in the
South sis being used as polit-
ical football by the Communists. y
In School Here
After gra iuating from the Mad
iscn county vocational high school,
Horne said he attended for one
year the seminary at Campbell
Christian College in Jackson, and
was briefly a student at Mississippi
Baptist Seminary for Negroes.
He said he worked mostly as a
doorman or waiter but had held
one Methodist pastorate before
leaving Mississippi in 1850 to work
in Florida.
"They gave me church with
three members" he said. "You
can't live eff $3.50 month"
"After l get out of Jail, | want
to try to get a job here and live
quiet life," Horne said.

The Plea Of Confession and
Avoidance

In the pursuit of the science of jurisprudence which
Edmund Burke, the great English lawyer statesman,
and philosopher has defined the collected wisdom of
the age the perfection of reasoning and the combining
of the principles of ordinary justice and the boundess
variety of human concern, the lawyers have up
with what is called the plea of confession and advoid

In the suit to enroll at the University of Misss-
sisspp the Negro applicant complains that he has been
denied enrolment at the University because he
student at non-accredited college, namely Jackson
State College, of the states three existing nstitu
tions of higher learning for Negroes, neither of which
is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools.
Every intelligent Mississppan knows by that
it is this plainly evident lack of equality of educational
opportunity for Negroes in this state well in the
rest of the south, that is made the basis for every
school Indignation suit rather than any moving desire
the part of Negroes to to school with white peo
pe which is not said to minimize the Negroes desires
for and right to equality of educational opportunity
Looking at the plea which admits the existence of
fact while at the time seeking to avoid its
quences the admission that the Negro student de-

he is attending non-accredited institution Jackson
State College for Negroes, is poor plea in confession

Communication
Seen As Biggest
Problem Between
u. S. and India

Tuskegee Institute, Alabama -
An Indian artist-educator who re-
ceived an Associate of Applied
Arts diploma at Tuskegee Insti-
tute's recent commencement be-
lieves that communication" is the
biggest problem existing between
India and the United States.
Solomon C. David, 80, superin-
tendent Of Vidyabhawan Handi-
crafts Institute in Upaipur, India,
made the statement as he prepared
to leave Tuskegee and return to his
home. His belief in more com
munication between the two coun-
tries explains, in part, his sue
cessful stay of year and a half
in the u. S.
Tuskegee president DR.. L. H.
Foster commended him this week
as person who helped others here
"learn much about Indian culture"
President Foster added that mutual
associations also provided Mr..
David with clear understanding
Of American life and helped orient
him for living and studying in a
new environment"
In letter of commentator
President Foster praised Mr..
David's willingness "to share with
others the knowledge of his coun-
try" and paid tribute to his scho-
lastic excellence and cooperative
spirit.
"His academic record is excel
lent" the letter stated, and "Mr.
David is admired by both students
and faculty for his cooperative
spirit and pleasant disposition, as
well as for his academic active
ment."
Mr.. David, who came to Tuske-
gee two years ago at the invitation
of President Foster, has proved
through 'his excellent record" that
che is deserving of all assistance
extended to him." the letter con-
cluded.
A member of the Consultative
Committee on Higher Education
for the Government of India, Mr..
David also received a diploma in
industrial arts at Berea College
in Louisville, Kentucky.
Mr.. David, who is scheduled to
leave for home next week and
have two-week stopover in Eu-
rope en- route, says he is eager
to resume his position at Vidya-
bhawan Institute next month.

FAIR TAXES
ASKED FOR
DIVIDENDS

Failure of the government to
require Withholding taxes on divi-
dends and interest constitutes
"gross discrimination" agai ns t
wage and salary earners and costs
the Treasury taxes on more than
$3.8 billion annually, the ALL
CIO has declared.
Testifying in support of Ken
nedy Administration proposals to
extend the Withholding tax system
to these additional classes of in
come, AFL-CIO Legislative Dir.
Andrew j. Biemiller told the House
Ways & Means Committee that
mo one type of income should re-
ceive favored treatment denied to
the others"
The withholding system, the fed
GRAFTON spokesman declared, "op-
crates with ruthless efficiency" in
its application to wage and salary
earners. ut leaves no room for
the forgetful, the neglectful, or
those who would deliberately try
to avoid payment of taxes" he
said. "Uncle Sam receives his
due share Of wage income almost
at the same time that the wages
are paid to the worker"
AS a result, Biemiller said, 81
percent Of all wage and salary in
come is reported on income tax re-
turns and the remainder, composed
largely Of wages for domestic
servants and farm slaborers with
low incomes, would not yield much
tax revenue.
BY contrast, he said, Treasury
Sec. Douglas Dillon recently told
the committee that 9 percent of
all dividends and IS percent of all
interest-totaling $3.8 billion .
year-goes unreported.
Spokesman for the insurance and
investment industries told the COM
mittee that the proposed 20 per-
cent Withholding tax on dividends

famous Lynch case. The United
States Court of Appeals, up
holding Judge Smith in the
Lynch case, said a judge can
refuse to accept q guilty plea
if he has evidence the alleged
offenSe was a product Of a
mental illness.
Judge Smith was told yester-
day by a psychiatrist that Miss

but not necessarily in q hos

The judge. noting the
woman's case involved differ

alleged offense was the result
of his illness and had recon-
mended disqualification.

helm, jr., was criticized for &C
cepting a guilty plea in another
