No Time To Cool

At first glance, 1t appears that
Attorney General Robert F. Ken
nedy somewhat modified his posi-
ton that there should be a Free
dom Ride Cooling off" period
when he met, last week, with a
group of Southern youth leaders.
Instead of advising them to "cool
off," the Attorney General urged
them to shift targets by concen-
trating on voting registration in
the South.
He argued that the Freedom
Riders have gained their point and
there is no further advantage to
be gained by continued protest.
One of the youth leaders OBJ
served that the Attorney Generals
request is like asking a labor union
to stop picketing while negotia-
tions are going on.
Just because they go into nego-
tiations, they don't stop the picket
lines" the youth stated.
This is an apt comparison, with
whose logic we agree. The Attor-
ney General has not modified his
"cool Off advice, but is trying to
make it more palatable.
What Mr.. Kennedy says about
the need to vote registration is
true. But in order to follow his
advice of promoting registration,
it is not necessary to abandon civil
rights activities in other areas.
The need for improvement of
civil rights in the South is so great
that Freedom Rides and Operation
Ballot Box, Job Equality Drive and
many more crusades ought to be
executed simultaneously. - Afro
American.

Chicago NAAcP Is
Agoinsf Remaining
Of School Sup'f.

Chicago, June 30.-The NAACP
this week announced opposition to
reappointment of Benjamin c. Will
lis as superintendent of schools,
and charged him with maintain
ing and increasing a strongly seq
regated school system"
Rev. Carl A. Fuqua, executive
secretary of the local NAACP
unit, urged school board members
to seriously and effectively con-
slider the record of DR.. Willis" who
comes up for reappointment Aug
ust 81.
DR.. Willis, according to the
NAACP, has succeeded in build
ing so many schools that the num-
ber of pupils on double-shift and
triple-shift schedules is the highest
in Chicago's history"
The civil rights organization hit
the community school concept"
saying it forces children into over
crowded schools where helpless
teachers are forced to do the best
they can with As and so in a class
room.
Sometimes" the NAACP as
serts, classes are held in assemb-
ly halls, corridors and gymnasia.
mo positive efforts have been
made to integrate the Chicago pub
lie schools and none are in the
offing," the NAACP said.
The Association was highly crit
ical of the fact that DR.. Willis has
opposed an independent survey of
the Chicago public schools"
It questions whether a man
should be rehired before objec-
tive evaluation of his work has
been undertaken" Also questioned
is why there has never been more
than one Negro principal of a gen
eral high school"
And why qualified Negro prin-
cipals of elementary schools are
always found in all-Negro or pre-
dominantly Negro schools"
The NAACP concluded with the
challenge that eff we (Chicagoans)
are to build solid, unbiased and
understanding men and women out
of our young people, we must start
in their formative years"

College AII-Sfars
Add Faison To
Lineup For Classic

Chicago (ANP) - With Wash
ington's George Fleming and Syr-
acuse's Art Baker already in the
field, the College All-Stars added
two outstanding linemen and
Earl Faison of Indiana and guard
Jack Novack of the university of
Miami-to their lineup for the
2Sth annual All-Star football game
against the world champions Phil
adelphia Eagles in Soldiers Field
on Aug. 4.
Faison is remembered as the
Hoosier who blocked a Michigan
State field goal attempt, retrieved
the ball and sprinted 90 yards for
the games only touchdown in his
sophomore year debut with In
diana.
Faison is big and agile. Stand
ing 6 foot 5 inches and weighing
235 pounds, he is tremendously
fast for his size. He is also a good
pass receiver, a category in which
he is expected to help the College
Stars a great deal.
1t was Faisons pass catching
ability that enabled him to lead
Indiana scorers for the last two
seasons. He was also the most
durable member of the Indiana
squad, averaging 43 minutes per
game.
Novak, a former Chicago area
high school star, is one of the best
guards Miami has developed in
many years.

Jesse Owens Is
Living Too Far
In Post Duys
BY L. /. Brockenbury

Los Angeles (ANP) - Negroes
all over the nation, and particul-
arly in Houston, Texas, are up in
arms about a syndicated story
written by Jesse Owens, former
track great, against what he terms
interference" by the NAACP in
connection with the recent track
and field meet at Houston in which
Negro athletes withdrew in pro-
test against segregated seating in
the stands.
First Triple Winner
Owens, it will be remembered,
was the first triple winner in the
history of the Olympics when in
1886 at Berlin he won the 100
meters, the 200 meters and the
broadjump, in addition to leading
off for the winning American 400
meters relay team. Perhaps Owens
was living in the past when he
said in his article that Ralph Bos-
ton and John Thomas, among
many other Negroes, should not
have been pressured out of the
Houston meet merely because the
stadium there was segregated"
Showed" Hitler, He Says
Owens went on in his article to
say, John and Ralph knew those
stands in Houston were segregated
and they hated it, but maybe they
knew, too, that they could do more
for freedom by competing and
showing their best in the world.
Those Berlin stands didn't have
any Negroes in them back in '36,
but I'm still glad Ralph Metcalfe,
Corny Johnson and myself were
there to show Hitler that Negroes
were not an inferior race"
Baylor Showed EN- INV. Va.
What Jesse has failed to realize
is that since 1886 much water has
flowed over the dam. was one of
the millions who thrilled to the
radio reports of the tremendous
feats of Owens in that 1886 Olym-
piad. But the thrill I got from
Owens showing Hitler that he was
Just as good" as the great Direc-
tor, did not compare with the thrill
I got when Elgin Baylor in 1857
told the people of West Virginia
and the nation that he would not
play basketball where he was seq
regated.
Times Have Changed
Jesse forgets that in 1896 these
terms were not common in every
day conversation: Jet planes, atom
bomb, outer space, freedom riders,
school integration, television, and
sit-ins. The time has long since
passed when Negroes need to do
anything to prove their loyalty or
their honor. Crispus Attacks did
that way back in 1776, and Ne
groes ever since have proved far
beyond the call of feasibility that
they are worthy in every way of
being called American citizens.
The time has come when Negroes
must prove their loyalty to Amer
lea, not by accepting "the Amer
ican Way" as practiced in Hous-
ton, but by helping America to be-
come the democracy she processes
to be.
Fodder For BigOts
Owens remarks amount to
nothing more than opportunities
for biggoted persons to point to a
Negro leader" and say that Ne
groes are pushing too fast for
the freedom thy should have had
long ago. Those young men who
were willing to stand up and be
counted, should have the plaudits
of every American rather than to
be criticized for their refusal to
follow the old tradition of accept
ing the status quo which means
nothing but continuation of sec
ond-class status for Negroes-no
matter what their achievements.
