zens' welfare, to foster the right
of all persons reasonably to seek,
obtain, and hold employment and
housing accommodations, and rea-
sonably to seek and be granted
services in places of public ac-
commodation" - without discrim-
ination because of race or creed.
Negro lobbyists proposed bill
making it a crime to discriminate
and settin up a civil rights COM
mission with enforcement powers.
1t died in an assembly committee.
When a substitute measure bog
ged down in a Senate committee,
Negroes took up protesting signs
and paraded around the Capitol.
Their placards accused gamblers
and the Senate Republican major
ity of killing the bill.
When Negroes promised to call
off their demonstration, the mea-
sure came out of committee, but
it was defeated in the Senate by
one vote. Governor Sawyer b a d
charged that the COP senators
had agreed privately to bury it.
This was the setting when the
upper house Republicans, with two
exceptions, sponsored the equal
rights commission bill. 1t passed
with no appropriation. An assem-
bly, committee then voted to tack
on the financing, but proposed
taking away the commissions SUBJ
poena powers. This touched off
Negro sit-ins and picketing at ca
sinos, restaurants and banks in
Reno. Finally the new law was
passed - and it contained both
subpoena powers and the token
appropriation.
Some racial unrest occurred only
a few days before it became OPP
erative.
Nergoes picketed the San Fran
cisco opening of Nevada tourist
promotion agency, charging that
their race was not welcome in Ne
vada's hotels and casinos.
Four persons Of Puerto Rican
ancestry and later two Negroes
filed racial discrimination suits in
Oakland, Calf, against Hurrah's
Club of Lake Tahoe and Grey
hound Bus Lines. They alleged
they had been refused passage on
the chartered buses to the lake

Calling for a renewed sense of
responsibility on both sides of the
color line Thompson said, "now is

He said Jackson apparently was
q bone in the throat of the Ma
ACP and CORE because these or
CARNATIONS have not been able
to crack the city's policy, or incite
local citizens to riot.
"Our colored people are not to
be afraid, but they must get out
and emphasize to everyone they
want things to be left as they

the task assined to the new equal

"Don'tGet Mad
Get Smart"
JOSEPH F. ALBRIGHT
Staff Correspondent

These are not my original words.
They were said years ago by one
OF the greatest statesmen of our
times, Congressman William L..
Dawson of Illinois, the Negro chair
man of the House Expenditures
Committee in Congress.
In connection with this pithy
piece of advice by the learned leg
islator, / recall, too, the equally
wise statement of Abraham Lincoln
who said that he intended to do
everything in his power to accomp-
lish all that was possible, to re-
frain from foolishly attempting
the impossible, and to ask God to
provide him with the wisdom to
distinguish the difference between
the two.
This is most propitiate time in
history to gravely consider these
two statements. 1t will be wise in
these crucial days to think twice
before we speak and stop basing
our actions upon angry reflexes
moving carefully in our rela-
tionships toward each other with
temperance.
In my early high school days I
felt obligated to fight one of my
schoolmates after dismissal every
day for week. To my utter frus-
tration l found myself getting
licked every time we engaged in
man-to-man combat. Later, when
our relationship had become very
friendly, asked him how it was
that he had so consistently whaled
the daylights out of me. He laughed
ed and replied, "You got mad, and
l didn't"
/ have long since stopped fued-
ing with Illustrations. remind my
self of the old adage that says,
''he who fights and runs away,
lives to fight another day." I have
gotten strictly in line with the fact
that he who wins the LAST battle
is the one who wins the war.
No team ever won a football
game, for example, without first
getting possession of the ball. No
body is ever going to cooperate
with my program" if l begin by
hitting him in the mouth. And who
ever thought that one up about
catching more flies with molasses
than with vinegar was at his level
best in objective thinking. When
ever it comes to a choice between
fighting just to be throwing pun
ches, or fighting with a creditable
purpose to win, | will take the lat
ter everytime and only a fool
will accept the first choice which
is not only stupid but inexcuseable.
Pm with you Congressman Daw-
son, all the way. You can just bet
all the coffee in Brazil that l will
try to get smarter" every day.
Nobody 4. ). but nobody is
ever again going to nudge me into
corner of impossible action. And
as far as | am concerned the ex-
preston point of no return" is
just something that describes an
airplane which as used up too
much fuel to get back to its base.
Remember the fable of the race
between the tortoise and the hare =?
When that ole overconfident rab-
bit got to the finish line, the turtle
was already there having his lunch.
In this race of life, your speed,
brother, is incidental. The point
to always remember is that no race
can ever be won if you don't finish
FIRST.
So l am no longer so interested in
running "fast" as | am in running
sure. When l start, | propose to
get there, even if that requires
leaving the highway and taking the
| shortcut across the mountain.

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: Those who have heard the
story about death and the man
hurrying to reach Damascus need
not have made up, their minds
about the fixed time and event of
death despite the classic logic and
seeting for the story. But to here

that is Parish Street df you know

totally and completely convinced.
And ON top of that Parish Street
ers long ago learned that a man
can be already dead without act

is without ceasing to walk around
and breath, and that in certain
events and transgressions this kind
cd death can strike anytime, but
like the real death one time Is

ersation going on among a group
of Parish Streeters, as I INDUCED

conversation about fellow who

though the brother couldn't swim,
and knowed he couldn't SWIM when
he left Parish Street to go Fish
ing. AS one fellow put it, it amt
no use to be talking about folks
oughta not go out in the lake
in boat fishing when they FAINT
swim. Folks who go out in the
lake and get drowned who can't
swim, well, that was the way they
times to come, and death had just,
eixed it so that he was gonna
meet them out in the midle of the
lake and they had to be there.
Folks just naturally gonna got
killed and die at and where their
tine comes. noe fellow in the
crowd that was talking was Jake.
Now Jake is the sum everything
when you get to talking about the
logic and wisdom Parish Street,
1t was he who was insisting that
nobody cant hurry there time on.
YouJust put here to die a certain
way and at certain time and a
certain place and that's they way
it is so Jake insisted. And although
the brother the subject the con-
veration had just gone to the
great beyond, Jake wound up the
conversation by saying, Man, yr'all
oughta stopp talking about folks
amt gonna die excatly when their
time comes. Didn't my Old Lady
(wife to you) take all my money
and run off and leave me, when
I wasn't even thinking about she's
gonna do something like that.

President Kennedy has swung
his support behind legislation
in this Congress to embark on
a new Federally aided urban
mass transportation program.
An administration measure,
ready at the White House, may
be relayed to Congress tomor-
row. If not, it is bound to
appear on Capitol Hill before
the end of the session.
Appropriate committees on
both sides of Congress already
have been alerted informally to
the White House decision.
This groundwork was laid
because it has been generally
understood that the admins
tration would postpone support
of mass transit bills until 1862,
when a complete program Is to
be drafted.
Local Plans Urged
Before that time, admins
stration officials have decided
to urge establishment Of mass
transit machinery in the Hous-
ing and Home Finance Agency
Funding for demonstration and
planning projects will be rec
commended. The adminiStra-
ton also is strong for require
ments that local agencies, rep
resenting metropolitan govern
ments, draw up workable
plans" for speeding city trans
portation before Federal money
is forthcoming.

NORFOLK, June 8 (AP).-
State Senator Armistead L.
Boothe said last night that
Virginia can't expect to get
industry through men who
deep in their hearts have
proven their disregard of its
necessity" with laws that
wounded" the public schools
The candidate for Lieutenant
Governor on the Stephens
Boothe Boyd gubernatorial
ticket said of the Harrison
Godwin-Button ticket:
Men so lacking in dedica-
ton to education are not
equipped to tell us what is
good and what is bad for in
dustry in this State. I say to
you there is no greater deter
rent to our industrial growth
than our history Of closed
public schools and our stand
ing as the only State where
public education today is not
available to all of our chill
dren."
Mr.. Boothe said opponents
had accused him of being
dominated by labor bosses,
ruled by the NAACP and that
he is an ultra liberal.
Mr.. Boothe charged it is a
distortion" on Virginia'S past
and a "block" to the future
when opponents charge that
those who "risk their political
lives for schools are radicals
and those determined to bring
new jobs and more jobs into
Virginia are socialists and ultra
liberals"
Meanwhile, to the surprise
of no one, 1t. Gov. A. E. S.
Stephens has been turned down
as a member of former Gov
Thomas B. Stanley's commit
tee to protect Virginia's right
to-work law.
But the committee, formed
recently in support of the Hari-

out the possibility Mr.. Stephens
could join-if he'd drop his
association with his running

The administrations own

was reported willing to go
along with this proposal should
