The Annual School Desegregation
Contest

When one brings the present Charlottesville
School Desegregation Plan into proper perspective
it should occasion no surprise that Negro chill
dren are not being transferred wholesale to the
city's white schools with all-white predominate-
ly white enrolments.
This writer examined the plan closely-over
and over agan-soon after it was presented in 1859
and came to the conclusion that it was designed to
accomplish exactly what it has thus far-limited
ntegraton.
Yet our reputed leaders accepted it-as step
forward. Well, it was just that, but the length of
the step is matter of opinion.
Nor is Charlottesville's school desegregation
problem much different from those of other areas
Especially is this true when view the whole pic
ture throughout the nation. Seven years have pass
ed since the High Court purportedly struck down
the school segregation bars, but to date, not
corporal guard of Negroes have gained admit
tance to public schools in Dixie with hitherto all
white enrolments
1t is true that practically all of the break
through has stemmed from court decisions, but it
is painfully slow process not to mention the ex-
pense of time, money and energy.
Whether better solution can be found we are
not prepared to say, but it does seem to us that
other methods rather than constant litigation en-
failing long delays, doubtful outcomes and con-
slant state of turmoil among our children who are
bearing the brunt of these battles should be sought
Certainly time has proven that the resort to lit-
cation each school year is solving the problem at
no more than snairs pace. Thus, in the light of
these facts it would to that the best brains
in our midst would do we'll to start thinking in
terms OF working out more intelligent approach
to the problem and cease relying solely on solemn
sounding but hard to implement court orders
After all, any intelligent General isn't loathe to
change his method of attack when he finds his
strategy does not permit the accomplishment of his
mission.
How perspective our Generals" are will be a
matter of history in this school desegregation and
other issues which the race seeks a solution to in
these times. The Tribune e-Charlottesvile-Albe-

COTTON SALES TO DUTCH

New fall-patterned American
cottons are Frightening store
windows in all the big cities of
the Netherlands.
This is one typical result of
the National Cotton Councils
experimenting efforts which
have made our cotton a four
season staple in II countries. In
the Netherlands alone, Robert
H. Reed writes in the October
Readers Digest, the N.C.C. pro-
gram has helped push cotton
consumption to an all-time high,
averaging about 80 million dol
lars annually.
The N.C.C., Reed writes,
matched dollars and guilders
with the Netherlands Cotton In
stitute for a joint long-range
promotion program. Represen-
tatlveS went from store to store
urging merchants to stock and
display more cotton goods. Then
the promoters backed the mer-
chants with fashion shows, ad-
vertising research and similar
tools. The results greater
sales - followed quickly.
More than geo such promo
tion and marketing projects now
are under way, under N. C. C.
auspicies in II countries, Reed
writes. Similar efforts are be-
ing made, by other groups, in
behalf of soybeans, rice, tobac-

General Eugene Cook announced
the decision would be appealed
to the Georgia Supreme Court.
2. Meanwhile, Mr.. Cook has
handed down a ruling that To-
cal school boards must give
grants-in-aid to attend private
schools to any child between 6
and 10 who asks for them and
meets certain qualifications.
The superintendents of school
systems in Atlanta and nearby
DeKalb and Fulton Counties,
where a total of more than so
such requests are pending, say
they have no funds for private
education and will not make
grants until the issue has been
threshed out in the courts.
3. And attorneys employed by
the State of Georgia in plead
ings filed with the United
States District Court here have
advanced the "white suprem-
acy" argument in behalf of a
white girl who is seeking a
transfer from an integrated At

Congo; Lett Clear The Record

most welcome cease-fire has been arranged
between the katanga and United Nations forces
NOW the whole record of the unfortunate little
war" in the Congo, including the attitudes of GER
tain governments toward it, should be closely ex-
amlned in the UN.
A better understanding Of what happened
and why 1t was misunderstood in some quarters is
urgently needed.
The irresponsibility with which some UN men,
pers are now attacking others this incident
including the HammarskJold death, Is something
that the late Secretary-General hlmsen would nave
depored. NOW that he is suddenly cast in the role
OF nero TO many VINO earlier suspected hlm OF serv-
ing western imperialism" it would seem that all
memGerS-Wlth the possible exception OF the troika
drlvers-can rally to the Hammarskjoid ideals
In dividing tact from table the UN should en-
pnaSZe again the report by officer in charge OF
the Congo operation made public by the UN full
week ago.
Most public comment has been based on the as
sumption That the UN move into SeceSSionst ka-
tanga was take over operation performed tor
the central COngolese government.
A great deal OF attention has also been given
TO the possibility that the UN was acting to pre-
vent civil war under resolution of Feb 21 (by
the strange device OF moving against Katanpa when
congo Premier Adoula was planning to invade it,
The first authoritative reports from the scene
OF action however, put the operation in very diff
ferent light These said it was taken to enforce that
part OF the Feb. 81 resolution urging removal of
white official personnel from the province. Despite
the UNs decision, many such Europeans had re-

with contractors who show
sincere desire and intention to
comply with the program, but
less patient with those who OBJ
viously are trying to avoid COM
pliance."
John G. Field, executive di-
rector, and Hobard Taylor, Jr.,
special counsel, also discussed
the equal employment opportu-
nifty program as members of the
three-man panel at the confer
ence, co-sponsored by the Bu-
reau of National Affairs, in the
Shoreham Hotel.
Mr.. Field emphasized that the
Committee is not interested in
the numbers game-that is,
specifying that a contractor
must employ this many or that
many of a minority group"
"We are not in the business
of getting jobs for negroes or
any other minority group" he
explained. "We are interested in
merit employment-equal en-
ployment opportunity without
regard to race, creed, color or
national origin. We insist that
all workers be treated alike in
personnel and employment prac-
tices, selection procedures,
evaluations, assignments and up
grading. All qualified workers
must receive the same consid-
Grafton, the same opportunity,
the same treatment"
In reply to a question about
the programs possible conflict
with state laws, Mr.. Taylor de-
clared the Committee was mot
seeking to preemp the field of
equal employment law"
"This does not mean, however,
that we are going along with 10

From evidence far available, then, it would
appear that the new danger of war in the Congo
has arisen from one of the oldest problems there.
namely the presence of Europeans whose interests
coincide with Mr.. Tshombe's aim of Insulating Ka-
tanga from the rest of the Congo.
Encouragingly, the cease-fire agreement pro-
vides also for four-man commission to explore
the problem Of Katangan relations with the rest of
the Congo To clear the air of the miasma of con-
flicting reports and assumptions surrounding the
Katanga clash and Dag Hammarskjolds death
would surely help the commission toward plan
for Congo cooperation.

Recognizing that we are in

of life; to uphold the Constitu-
tion, tie Bill of Rights, and to
work toward the goal of one ma
ii M indivIsible, with liberty and
justice to all.
We further pledge ourselves
to make it known throughout
the world that as a distinct eth

opposed to Communism, it's god
less ideology, it's subsersive ac-
tivities, its ruthless procedures
of violence, deceit and anarchy,
and resolved, at all hazards, to
resist in every way, with every
possible means and with great

this damnable influence. We
shall dissemate with all possible
zeal, information as to dangers
inherent in this arch foe of AM

our people gainst being deluded
by it's overtures.
"And we further declare that
beyond all else, we take the
position that our country-Am-

our every passion; her liberties
claim our every thought. Our
hopes and our labors at all times
shall be, in fair weather and in
foul, in good times and in had,
that she shall by the blessings,

suit as "class action" appar-
emily are attempting to remove
segregation from public trans
portation facilities throughout
the state as they presented wit
nesses testifying about incidents
which allegedly took place in
several areas of Mississippi.
Constance Baker Motley, Ne
gro woman lawyer from New
York who represents the MA
ACP in this suit, asked Mayor
Thompson to outline the city's
policy in regard to separation
of the races in public transpor-
tation facilities.
Objections by the attorney
general and the city, who con-
tended that the policy could be
reflected only in ordinances and
minutes of the city council, were
sustained by a two-one vote of
the court, with presiding Judge
Richard T. Rives of Montgom-
cry, Ala, dissenting.
The court permitted the at
torney to question the mayor,
however, in order to complete
record which in all probability
will reach the U. S. Supreme
Court.
His testimony in regard to
city policy will not be consid-
cred by the three Judge court.
This is what Mayor Thomp-
son said about the city policy:
ut has been a policy of mine
and the city council, the police
department and the people to
maintain what has worked for
the past 100 years to bring hap
piness, peace and prosperity.
"That has been to maintain a
separation of the races - not
segregation, we don't call it
segregation-to maintain peace
and order and to keep down dis
turbances.
Il can't remember a single
arrest under the ordinance (on
racial separation).
"This policy has been a great
deal of give and take. In this
room only this morning a Ne
gro minister told me he appre-
ciates our handling of the sit
uation-and he asked me for a
contribution to his church.
Laws can come and laws can
go and laws can be changed.
But the policy we have adopted
here has been to maintain hap
piness and contentment between
the races and to live together
in peace and quiet"
The mayor told the court he
has never instructed city police
to make arrests anywhere.
"My Instructions" he said,
have been to do whatever is nee
essary to maintain law and or
der."
His only instructions to police
in regard to Negroes entering
white waiting rooms and whites
entering Negro waiting rooms,
he said, has been to "see that
there are no disturbances"
Mayor Thompson pointed out
to the court that there is no
separation of the city's zoo, but
said he instructed officers to
"do whatever is necessary" to
prevent trouble" there recent
ly.
Officers made several arrests
at the zoo at that time and have
since removed benches from the
area.
