The NAACP And Public Opinion

The Southeast Regional meeting of the NAACP
will be held here this weekend with no evidence
pointing to any Improvement in the climate of pub
lie opinion regards the NAACP led drive for total
Indignation, despite some grudngly made conces-
sions in various here and there, despite all
kinds of demonstrations and protests despite the
support of the current national administration and
a multiplicity of favorable court DECISIONS
The lack of a favorable climate of public opin-
ion, is beyond doubt, mainly responsible for the
rapid decline of goodwill between the races daily be-
coming more plainly evident, particularly, in the
area represented by the delegates expected to at
tend the meeting
Some months ago, President Kennedy through
a White House source, suggested that the NAACP
abandon the field of civil rights and leave that
sponsibility to the federal government and devote
It's organization and resources to a campaign of
education among the Negroes of the nation sug-
gestlon that was rather rudely rejected by top
NAACP officials
We are certain that in suggesting that the
NAACP enter upon a campaign of education a.
mong the Negroes of the country, President Ken
nedy himself certain that such an educational cam
paign promoted and supported by the NAACP
would be bound to touch upon in Negro-White
relationships that would lead to better understand
ing and greater goodwill between the two groups
on larger plane that would lead inevitably to the
development of the kind of favorable public opin-
ion needed to support the drive for Negro civil
rights.
Some great students of the history and philoso-
ply of the law have reasoned that courts of final
adjudcature, such as the United States Supreme
Court in making decisions, in most cases follow
public opinion; and on occasions in making de-
csions, seek to lead public opinion 1t is pretty gen.
orally agreed among informed students that in the
decision outawing separate but equal education,
and other Indignation decisions, the u S. Supreme
Court has been seeking to lead public opinion
1t is further, pretty generally agreed among
students of the history and philosophy of the law
that court decision, act of legislative body
is no stronger than the public opinion that is for,
or against it.
If there is not enough laws already on the
statute books to guarantee Negro civil rights,
thousand more won't by any more help; and if
court decisions had anything to do with morality,
ethics and goodwill, the NAACP has already won
enough court decisions to turn moonshine whiskey
into Holy Water.
We see the need for broader based support of
favorable public opinion the greatest need of the
Negro Civil Rights cause in this country today and
we can see no more important concern for the
Southeast Region of the NAACP in it's meeting here

WALK UP TO IT.!

Is there something you know YOU should do
that you particularly don't want to do? Then walk
up to it!
Is there some problem that is troubling you?
Walk up to it!
Is there call you should make, letter you
should write that you have been lodging because it
means taking stand, or starting an argument?
Walk up to it!
Funny thing about troubles They never seem
quite so big or fearsome when you are up against
them. 1t is sort of as though they worked like an
eectrlc eye and swung open to let you walk throug
when you finally got up courage to face them.
1t is the things that you imagine will happen
that always are the worst of ALL Which is one of
the things that carries people through what would
seem to be crushing tragedies Once they. have
happened, there isn't anything left to fear.
Walk up to the disagreeable task that must be
done and do it. There is no chore that takes for
overland once it is done, you can forget about it,
1t is finished and over with-and Won can be con-
tent knowing you have not shrked.
When it comes right down to it. the critic we
most fear is ourself. We know what we should do
and we know when we have not done it. WHY we
have not done it. We have to live with ourselves
and the courage it may take to do something un-
pleasant but necessary, is nothing to the sense of
ease and well being once it is done.

Highest average annual gross
sales by Negro farmers are only
little over half the minimum re-
quired to provide operator earn
ings of $4,000 a year.
This information on the low
income status of the average
Negro farmer is arrived at by
comparing 1859 census date with
findings shown in a recent U. S.
Department of Agriculture re-
search report - Resource Re-
quirements on Farms for Speci-
fled Operator Incomes"
AS a result of the findings,
budgets are presented in this
report for eight types of farms
in Is areas, showing resources
that would be needed to provide
operator earnings ranging from
$4,000 to $500.
Gross sales on farms budget
ed to provide the operator with
earnings of $4,000 range from
$9,275 on a Minnesota dairy
farm to $26,454 on an Okla
homa cotton-wheat farm.
And a Mississippi delta cotton
farmer, for example, would need
to raise 26 acres of cotton and
81 acres of soybeans, employ
ing a capital investment in land
and equipment of $28,751, in
order to have gross sales of
$9,824 which would bring him
labor earnings of $4,000.
Continuing, the report shows
that throughout the $4,000 to
$500 range of operator earn
ings on budgeted farms, it takes
from about So to $11, or an aver
age OF 30 IN gross sales to pro-
vide the farmer with 81 in labor
earnings.
Increasingly, farmers are
realizing the need to increase
their sales in order to provide
their families with a more ac-
ceptable level of living. AS a
result, the number of farms

better living. The Departments

has helped thousands to en-
large and develop their farms

Other solutions to the low

lie in the development of side

or full-time nonfarm employ
ment. The Rural Areas Devel-
opment Program is designed to

1854 and 1869, while smaller
farms decreased by rs percent.
According to the 1859 Census
of Agriculture, the number of
colored farmers-mostly small
operators-decreased from $780,
919 to 285,803 between 1850 and
1859. Of the 2s5, 1903, only about
10000 are in commercial pro-
duction. And most of these
produce small quantities of COM
modities.
The State having the highest
average value of products sold
by colored commercial farmers
in 1859 was Maryland where the
796 producers sold $5,439 worth
of products each; North Caro-
lima came next with $4,081 in
sales; and Arkansas was third
with $3,452 worth of products
each. delaware and West Vir-
ginia are excluded because of
their small number of Negro
farmers.)
Lowest average value of pro-
ducts were sold by the 1887
Negro commercial farmers of
Alabama. They averaged only
81 300 each; Louisiana was the
next lowest with $2,426; Miss
issippi was third with $2,462.
On the average, white COM

Placing another first among
Negro colleges with the install
lation of a computing center,
Tuskegee has recently received
a $4,000 grant from the Ma
tional Science Foundation for
support of the center for ap-
proximately one year.
Last semester, the 1920 COM
puter provided technical knowl-
edge for undergraduate students
in engineering and is used to
teach computer fundamentals to
faculty and graduate students
in the Institute.
DR.. z. w. Dybczak, Dean of
the School of Engineering here,
stated that the computer is also
being used to teach courses in
undergraduate programming &
computer fundamentals.
During the latter part of jan
uary, representatives from elev-
en- colleges affiliated with the
United Negro College Fund, met
here to discuss a three-two pro-
gram on engineering education
at Tuskegee.
Such a program would pro-
vide opportunity for applicants
to enroll in a liberal arts col
lege for three years, including
strengthening in their pro-
gram. Transferring to an engi.
neering college for a two-year
period, they would qualify fol-
a Bachelor of Science degree al
