Not so strangely, the NAACP
has been against the 13-point re-
form plan, but makes no comment
today, now that the plan is in Ell
feet.
And while many of the city's
5000 Negroes are in favor of well
fare reform, the word is already
out, this reporter learned on a
tour of the worst-blighted areas in
Newburg, against talking with
strangers-especially the press.
"You cannot teach colored women
for $50 years that they are chattel
to be used as breeding stock" Rev.
Burton says, land then expect So
called incorrigibles to learn over
night that illiegitimacy is bad.
"And these slums were not
caused overnight either. Or in the
past three or four years. Migrants
did not let this property run down.
"But if you think these 13 points
can halt the flight Of Negroes from
the South-from starvation-you
are wrong. They're going to keep
on fleeing. Maybe you can build
a wall for a while around New
turgh. But like the driver ants,
they'll move around and keep on
going"
Officially, of course, Newburgh
denies any anti-Negro aims in its
plan. But unofficially there is con-

siderable dispute about the matter.
One former law-enforcement Of
ficial says that he had been in
volved in many midnight road
blocks in Negro areas where all
cars were stopped and searched for
knives and guns.
"Then we'd 60 up to a couple
of white neighborhoods and do the
same thing to keep the NAACP
from yelling prejudice" All we
wanted to dc was to get the word
down South that Newburgh was a
tough town and if you were think
ing Of staying on after you'd come
up for the harvesting, you'd better
be prepared to get a job and live
peacefully"
In Newburgh today, however, it's
no longer yelled threat. Appre-
hensive observers say that the city
council and Manager Joseph Mitch
ell may have gone too far in put
ting up a wall against migrants to
retreat gracefully if trouble is
threatened.
1t will be surprising, informed
sources say, if Negro response to
this challenge is limited to an ex-
pected policy of non-cooperation
by landlords and tenants whose
agreement is needed before urban
renewal demolition can begin.
"That would bring the federal
government down on US, looking
after the So million they've got
in this project" one worried bust

AIcorn Summer
0rientation Is
Successful

Alcorn College sponsored a pro-
gram designed to introduce re-
cent high school graduates to col
lege study. 1t was meant to find
students with unusual capacity in
mathematics and the sciences. with
the ability to read and handle the
language effectively, and to direct
them into the marshaling Of facts
and the preparation of research.
Seventy superior high school
students participated in this pro-
gram. They were from every Sec
ton OF the state and the evalua-
ton Of those students proved that
the experiment was worthwhile.
Many of them will enter into the
fall studies better equipped and rea-
sonably well initiated into the de-
mands of college study.

BockQround

NTO FEDERAL Phoenix arose from
IN the ashes of the Battle Of
Manassas. But out in the mountains
of Western Virginia youthful image
seemed to have possibilities for fill
ing the role. George Brinton NC
Clellan was his name. He was only
IS, and as long on ego and self
confidence as he was short in
stature. The cockSureness was un-
derstandable. He was the son of
distinguished Philadelphia surgeon.
Specializing in engineering, he was
graduated second from the top Of a
class of SO from West Point. He
fought with distinction in the Mex
ican War, and later wrote an au-
thoritative analysis of European
armies based on a years study
abroad. Lured by private enterprise,
Mcclellan resigned his captains
commission in 1857 to become vice
president of Illinois Central Rail-
road. He had, in short, succeeded in
all he undertook, and the outbreak
of the Civil War offered another
opportunity to add luster to his
name. An acquaintance of Abraham
Lincoln when the latter was an
attorney for Illinois Central, Little
Mac"-as he would become known
had no trouble getting an appoint
ment as a major general of the
Regular Army commanding the De-
partment of the Ohio. It was in this
capacity that he led a Federal force
through a succession of small but
decisive victories in Western Vir-
ginia. His achievements-the latest
of which dated from the week before
