Mr.. w. A. Robinson
Associate Editor
The Arizona Sun
Dear Mr.. Robinson:

Dear Mr.. Robinson:
May l take this opportun-
ity to express my thanks and
appreciation for your excellent
editorials which have appear
ed in recent issues of the AR
IZONA SUN. You have per-
formed an important work in
helping to expose the hate
groups for what they are. I'm
for bold action by our govern
ment toward disarmament and
peace in the world, and for e.
qually bold action toward the
realization of real democracy
for all people here at home.
The hate-groups would plunge
our nation into a suicidal nu-
clear war and make a mock
cry of the ideals of brother
hood and equality.
Good wishes to you and to
the ARIZONA SUN.
Sincerely,
Clyde R. Appleton
Tucson, Arizona

HOW sIT-INS BEGAN

Rejecting impatience over
the slow pace of action on civil
rights, the demonstrations were
spanked February, l 1860, by
the refusal of a Greensboro, N.
c. variety store to serve four
Negro college students at its
lunch counter. Patterned on the
slave-day technique of peaceful
resistance, the sit-ins spread to
over 70 communities through
out the South, several commun-
tiles in the border states and
the midwest.
The most notable feature of
the demonstration has been the
unexpected extent to which
they have been supported by
the white students and endors-
ed by religious leaders, both
white and Negro.
CLERGY BACKS STUDENTS
In Raleigh, where Mayor w.
G.. Enloe has appointed an in
terracial committee to study
the problem, SO White and Ne
gro ministers issued a joint
statement branding lunch coun-
ter segration as "only a symbol
of the many problems which
need to be faced openly and
frankly" Protestant clergymen
offered to support any chain
stores agreeing to end racial
segregation at the lunch count.
