The Carl Braden Robert Moses
Articles

The articles appearing during the past few
days in the local daily press concerning the activi-
ties, and planned activities, among Negroes of this
state, of Carl Braden, an exposed Communist and
his Negro aide Robert Moses, is certain to have
been both interesting and informative reading for
both Negroes and whites among the intelligent
citizens of this state.
To us it was just another confirmation of
what we have repeatedly pointed out. The supreme
and dedicated efforts of the Communists in this
country to attach themselves and the Communist
Party TO the Negro ISSUE and to every legitimate
grievance of the American Negro in order to ex-
plolt the Negro issue to its utmost propaganda val
ue, in the effort to get the coored people of the
world, particularly in Africa, to embrace commu-
nism rather than western democracy
The fact that Carl Braden, who is apparently
well acquainted with Communists methods and
aims has been sent into Mississippi to work a.
mong Negroes after much effort having already
been put forth by CORE and the Martin Luther
King groups during the past few months, can best
De taken as avidence that Mississippi Negroes are
becoming increasingly disillusoned by the results
OF such efforts and are beginning to close their
pocketbooks and turn deaf ear to such manifesto
tlonS and prOteStations.
One of the chief aims of the Communists in
their effort to exploit the Negro issue for it's ut
most propaganda value. is to so disturb and inflame
the relations between Negroes and white people in
states in the south like Mississippi, as to bring
about large scale bloody clashes between the two
groups; condition which they have so far been
unable to achieve. To create such condition is
what is behind the wild statements of growing Ne
gro power, and their challenge to white people to
be read in some of the articles written concerning
southern Negroes and contemporary race relations
we hope that those reading the articles about
Carl Braden and Robert Moses, particularly white
people in the state will not he moved to direct their
resentment toward the states Negro citizens and
thus continue to defeat one of the major aims of
the Communists in this country

Meredith Gets
Consid deration OF
Justice Black

Washington, d. c., Sept. L.
Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black
today considered Justice De-
partment request that he clear the
way for Negro James H. Meredith
to enter the all-white University of
Mississippi
The department entered the case
Friday as a friend of the court"
to support Meredith's petition that
the latest stay order in the case
be lifted so he could start the fall
term this month.
The U. S Fifth Circuit Court of
Appeals in New Orleans has or
dered the school to admit Mere
dith, but Circuit Judge Ben Came
ron OF Meridian. Miss. has stayed
the effect of the order until it
could be appealed to the Supreme
Court.
Cameron and the three Judge
panel which issued the order have
engaged in a judicial wrangIe,
overruling each other several
times. But Cameron's latest stay
his fourth-currently remains in
effect.
Sol. Gen. Archibald Cox said
Black should not only vacate
Cameron's stay, but should issue
an injunction against the school
The injunction should order the
university to cease refusing to
comply with judgments and orders
OF the appeals court pending
Supreme Court action, Cox said.
Cox said a careful review of the
facts by the appeals court made it
extremely unlikely that the Su-
preme Court would review the
case.
In the event that it did so, he
said, the university could easily
dismiss Meredith from attendance
if it won the case. On the other
hand, if Meredith won, he would
be injured by missing the start of
the school year, the department. $

VIII not be marked by demon
strations or violence.
Nine years after the United
States Supreme, Court decision.
IL seems to him a poor record
of compliance.
But there are others who
take a more optimistic view.
Moderates in the South feel
that the progress which has
been made is really rather re-
markable, considering the fact
that the South has practiced
legal segregation for the past
century.
States in which school dis
tricts will admit Negroes for
the first time are: Florida,
Kentucky, Maryland, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas,
and Virginia. Some other dis
trlcts on all these states have
been integrated in previous
years.
The hold-out states are Mis-
sissippi, South Carolina, and
Alabama, which have no
mixed schools at all.
In Louisiana, the only city
IN which school desegregation
has taken place is New Or
leans. In Georgia, Atlanta is
the only city with mixed
classes. Florida has 81 school
districts, but only seven are
desepreeated
In the 17-state area where
school segregation existed be-
fore the court decision, about
90 per cent of the Negro chill
dren are still in all-Negro
schools.
All in all, according to the
Southern Education Reporting
Service, a total of 246,988
Negroes were attending mixed
classes in the South, including
Border States and the District
of Columbia, last spring, out of
total of pUre than 100000
Negro children in that section
of the country.
In Prince Edward County,
Va, school authorities closed
all public schools in 1859 to
avoid compliance with the court
order to desegregate.
It's public schools are still
closed, although another court
order recently set a deadline
of Sept. 7 for county officials
to come up with a desegrega-
ton plan.
Many Negro leaders feel that
school desegregation will not
proceed at a reasonable pace
until the Negro overcomes ra-
cial discrimination in other
areas.
In particular, there is a feel
ing that racial discrimination
in schools and elsewhere will
not be broken until the Negro
demands and exercises his
right to vote.
