lished statements, Meredith
charged that the Federal
Troops, which upon arrival in
Oxford were integrated, has
been re-segregated. He charged
that Negro soldiers had been
reduced to un-armed workers on
a garbage detail. He called this
a disgrace and . dishonor to
the hundred Of thousands Of Ne
groes who wear the uniform Of
the military services.
In answering Meredith, from
Washington, Army Secretary
Cyrus Vance said Negro troops
\were not used on patrol to
avoid unnecessary incidents dur
ing the tense time when the
troops first arrived on the riot
torn campus. On October 6, he
said, when the situation became
more stabilized orders were is
sued that Negro military per-
sonnet of Army units employed
in connection with the Oxford
situation would be used in the
performance Of all normal func.
tions in all operations.
In another statement, in ans
wering remarks made in q re-
cent Detroit speech by Aaron
Henry, President of the State
Conference of NAACP Branch
es, Meredith denied that he was
hand-picked by the NAACP to
break down segregation at Ole
Miss, a statement that brought
immediate comment from the
National NAACP headquarters
in New York.
John A. Morsell, Assistant to
NAACP Executive Secretary,
Roy Wilkins, issued the fol-
lowing statement.
Late in 1860 James II. Mere
dith approached Medgar w.
Evers, NAACP field secretary
in Jackson, Miss, and inform
ed him of his desire to apply for
admission to the University of
Mississippi. Mr.. Meredith also
asked for the assistance of the
association, including legal
counsel if it became necessary.
He was thus self selected.
GAS in other instances involv-
ing raciol discrimination, the
NAACP made available to Mr..
Meredith resources, of the or

wholesale retaliation against

widespread rioting and blood

In q widening series of state

against the rioting, violence and

James Meredith, was the Presi-

who in a lengthy statement
broadcast over Radio Station

operated by the company, called
for cessation of lawlessness and
opposition to the Federal Gov

for the purpose of stirring up
violence and resistance to the

thirty-five Of the most widely
known and influential business
and professional leaders Of the
state, met at the King Edwards
Hotel in Jackson, and issued q
statement deploring, the riotine
and bloodshed caused by the op-
position to the enrolment OF
James Meredith at Ole Miss,
and called for the return to

of peace and harmony between
the Negro and White people of
the state.

part Of the United States was
made for me by Mrs. Tommie An
derson Samkange, who has a Ph.D
in psychology from the University
Of Indiana.
Being from Mississippi, she Is
familiar with some Of the worst
aspects Of race relations In Amer
lea, and those here.
AS bad as Mississippi is this is
worse" she told me. This, of
course, is no compliment to Miss
issippi. Whereas they have jim
crow buses in my state, they have
separate buses for whites and
blacks here. In Mississippi, we have
universal suffrage. Though by in
timidation, many Negroes are pre-
vented from voting, they at least
have the right legally to do so.
Here, the legal right to vote doesn't
even exist.
In Mississippi, we have jim
crow schools. Here, the federal gov
eminent makes no provision for
the education Of Africans, while 1t
provides excellent schools for
whites.
ITO sum it all up, our federal
government, by constitution, by
law and by supreme court edict is
dedicated to the proposition that
all men are entitled to equal treat
ment, regardless Of their race, col
or or religion. Such is unheard OF
here.
Further, many Of our states
have enacted laws under which a
person subjected to racial discrim-
nation have legal recourse in our
civil and criminal courts. Not only
is such unheard Of here, but In
most other countries Of the world
as WELL"

In recognizing the principle that
man is a man regardless Of his

ahead Of US here"
I sat In the Southern Rhodesia
Supreme Court chamber and heard
Chief Justice Sir Hugh Beadle read
an S0-minute decision, declaring
that all races have the legal right
to use the municipal swimming

ing ramifications, since the prin-
ciple is applicable to all public fac
ilities.
In a television interview, said
I believed that the decision was as
important to Southern Rhodesia
as the us. Supreme Court decision
Of May, 1854 - which outlawed
racial segregation in public schools
and has since been applied to many
other areas where racial segrega-
ton existed.
But there Is a difference. There
Is no augmentation Of the de-

Raffa had made payments total

any further installments. The men

CHARITY

CHARITY
Perhaps my faith is like my race,
An accident of birth
Determined only by the place
Where first came to earth.
So for the faiths Of every land,
Though many they may be,
If some I cannot understand,
Lord, give me charity.
The faith my fathers died to keep,
The quest for God and life
Took them DER mountains high and steep;
Through struggle, stress and strife
They served their God as they knew how,
In fashion strange to me;
But if I cannot take their vow,
Lord, give me charity.
And If my neighbors go to church
To learn different creed;
For God in other ways to search
And seek the help they need;
Although their forms to me seem odd
Their ways too far to see
II through their prayers they come to God
Lord, give me charity.
Had been born meath China's skies,
To ancestors I'd pray;
Had India met my op'ning eyes,
I'd bow to Brahma's sway
The creed hold derives its plan
From where chance to be.
So when judge my fellow man,
Lord, give me charity.
