SIT-INS REACH SUPREME COURT
Closeup Of A Freedom Rider
BY ALTON W. THOMAS

Last week we received tele-
phone call from an excited person
in Scottsdale saying that she was
a Freedom Rider, was passing
through Phoenix and though The
Arizona Sun might like to have a
story.
We quickly got through the in
troductions-She was Marguerite
Ann Kerr from San Francisco, a
graduate student at the University
Of California, Berkeley. She is
majoring in education, planning
to teach the social studies.
With so much controversy a
round the Freedom riders natural
ly | asked the question: ''HOw did
you happen to get in this move
ment?"
She said with conviction, Il
have been interested in Freedom
Riders ever since they began. 1t
seems to me to be the most eff
fective program in the United
States to speed up progress. 1t
certainly is a logical follow-up OF
the Sit-in movement. :"
Pressing this question little
further Miss Kerr told us that
while living in her home state of
Maine she had no contact with the
Negro race. It was in San Francis
co that she became acquainted
with other races and found them
to be identical to whites in
emotions and goals.
81 hate to hear people talk a.
bout the problem and do nothing, !"
Miss Kerr said as a further ex-
PLANTATION as to why she acted.
Asked how one can become a
Freedom Rider she informed that
interested parties need only to
get in touch with CORE Congress
On Racial Equality. They finance
the right kind of people who are
willing to become Freedom Riders.

Faster Action
For PEI Bills
Expected Soon
BY ROBERT X. WALSH
Star staff Writer

Legislators who cheer the
speed Of New Frontier bills
through Congress are impa-
tient at the unusually slow pace
Of their bread and butter"
members.
This Is especially true In the
House Relatively minor or
seemingly trivial bills for pet
projects, home town requests,
or relief for individual constit-
uents often are very important
to the future Of particular
mambers.
Contrary to customary pro-
cedure, the House since Janu-
ary has concentrated this year
on legislative recommendations
from the White House rather
than on appropriation bills and
the small, cloSe-to-home items
on its private and consent cal
endars.
At this time last year the
House had passed 10 regular
appropriation bills including
the Defense Departments. It
also had approved a foreign aid
authorization bill. Thus far
this year it has passed only the
Post Office-Treasury and In
terror appropriation bills for the
fiscal year beginning July /.
The Senate has not even passed
those two.
Important Locally
Many departmental money
bills are Of great local concern
to legislators because Of provi-
sion for numerous and varied
projects and programs Of in
terest and benefit to home dis
trictS.
Democratic leaders indicated
yesterday that the tide soon
viii begin to turn. House
Appropriations subcommittee
have not fallen behind in hear
ngS and reportedly are ready
to increase the flow Of money
bills to the House.
Big Bills Still at Forefront
The private calendar is ex-
pected to grow in length and
profusion Of bills "for the re-
lief Of" individuals who I'M
plored their home district Con-
gresham to get action on
claims Of one kind or another.
Many other bills, comparative
" unimportant except to the
House member who made elec-
ton promises to do something
special for the district, also
seem likely to sprout at least
to the extent Of flourishing or
fading in House vote.
This does not mean House
Democratic leaders will relax
their efforts for passage Of
other big bills on Mr.. Ken
nedy's list.
The more controversial bills
are still ahead.

Banneker School News

AS a timely tribute, the ninth
grade class under the guidance of
Miss Claudia Harrell presented
very fine program in assembly
last Friday. This tribute was to the
history of the Negro and his ae-
complishments. Outstanding per-
sons in all fields of endeavor were
cited. A special place was given to
Benjamin Banneker, after whom
our school was named. Banneker
invented the first clock to strike
the hours of the day, was a great
mathematician, and help to lay out
the city of Washington DC. Alicia
Harmon, Betty Smith and William
Marshall recited Weldon Johnson's
Creation" The program was very
educational and entertaining.
The Banneker Basketball Season
has officially ended. AS the saying
goes, "Banneker has a lot to crow
| about" The boys team had an out
standing year with 8 victories and
one defeat on their regular sched-
ule. Coach John Pitts was able to
see the fruit of his three years of
building a boys team. The boys re-
warded him with a splendid team
effort After humbling Seaford on
their own home court, the boys
finished their prosperous season
by defeating the Jason Junior High
School team by score of 64 10 So
All the members of the team are
to be congratulated. The outstand-
ing players on the boys team will
be posted at a later date.
The girls had a fine season also.
OF course it wasn't as good as the
boys, but the girls have had the
pleasure of enjoying a victorious
season before. Miss Harrell and
the girls have ended the season
with victories and defeats. Their
last victory was over the Fredick
Douglas Girls of Seaford. They de-
feated these girls by a score of 80
to 16. Outstanding players on the
girls squad were Alicia Harmon,
Audrey Davis, Angela Rufus, Flea
more Brady and Oveta Whaley. We
congratulate Miss Harrell. Mr.. Pitts
and the two basketball teams We
also thank them for their efforts
and are very grateful to them for
putting dear old Banneker on the
basketball map of recognition.
1t was very inspiring to see so
many of our parents attending the
Founders Day celebration last
Thursday evening. This affair was
a tremendous success and was en-
joyed by all. The theme for this af-
fas stnK.aIfsx~ nnff-
mum Growth" The guest speaker
was DR.. Luna Mishoe, president of
Delaware State College. He brought
very inspiring and challenging
message. Highlighting his message
was his advice to the Delaware
Congress OF Colored Parents and
Teachers to encourage children to
attend college. 1t is nice TO be able
to attend a named college, but an
interested student can realize a
good education from a small col
lege also. DR.. Mishoe advised that
the Delaware Congress OF Colored
Parents and Teachers should aid
students who have the desire to
procure a college education. This
can be done by providing scholar
ships and having guidance work
shops for prospective college stu
dents. Without the devoted efforts
of the parents and patrons of our
local P.T.A. our success of being
the host would have been impossi-
BILE. Our president, Mrs. Rachael
Harmon, extends her gratitude for
your splendid cooperation in all
matters pertaining to this activity.
