Mississippi Council On Human Relations

fear who never knew it before. 1t has
divided and confused us as never be-
fore. For the future the Citizens Coun-
Gil offers only defiance of law and
order and closing OF public schools and
other public facilities which means a
return to ignorance and the Dark Ages.
The Citizens Council also is a ready
made political machine for the political
control of the people by demagogues
who are interested only in exploiting
us and advancing their own personal
and political fortunes. They are a
threat to every independent citizen
who wishes to think and act for him
self.
We do not know what the Missis-
sippi Council On Human Relations may
do - but could it do worse?
State daily newspapers we have seen
did not print anything about the Mis-
sissippi Council On Human Relations
except a brief mention of officers
elected. We have seen no editorial com-
ment at all in any state newspaper.
In order that readers of this news
paper may be informed on the subject
we have secured a copy of it's declara-
tion of purpose and a statement of it's
detectives which we believe Won will
find of interest.
The declaration of purpose formal
ly adopted by the group said, and we
quote:
Believing that all men are Of equal
worth in the sight of God, and draw
ing our inspiration and guidance from
the Judaeo-Christian continuity of
prophetic witness for social justice,
and desiring to support in the State of
Mississippi those detectives in this d.
rection which elsewhere within our
nation have won general recognition
and acceptance, we hereby propose to
form in Mississippi an organization to
be known as The Mississippi Council
On Human Relations.
Positive Approach
Stressing the positive approach to
be used by the Mississippi Council in
an effort to better human relations in
the state, the or~ganizational group
formally adopted support of the fol-
lowing:
1. The traditional freedom of
speech including it's classroom counter
part of academic freedom for all teach
erS.
g. The basic freedom of assem-
bly, in which men who believe in demo-
cratic institutions may meet together
without anxiety.
3. Absolute impartiality as to
race in the enforcement of law by
police and courts and in the selection
of jury members.
4. The application of one set OF
requirements in one manner to all in
disiduals who seek registration for
voting, regardless of race.
5. Employment in industry and
agriculture on the basis of merit.
6. Wise compliance with the spi-
rit Of the Supreme Court decision Of
1854 within the living context of the
situation il Mississippi through:
a.. Voluntary removal of state and
local laws enforcing segregation.
b. Prompt acceptance of qualified
Negro applicants on the part of col
leges and graduate schools.
c. Initiation on the part of men
of good will of both races within local
communities of plans for compliance
in the lower schools il advance Of
compulsory action by federal courts.
d. Immediate representation by
qualified Negroes on local and state
boards of education where these posts
are appointive.

Resigning

David A. Sawyer, executive
director of the District Com
misSioner's Council on Human
Relations, has told the Com
missioners that he plans to
resign to accept an Army
civilian post.
Mr.. Sawyer has been offered
a job as a special assistant in
inter-group relations to the
commanding general of the
Army Materiel Command.
Mr.. Sawyer, 43, who has held
his District post since January,
1859, said that he expects to be

In a letter to Commissioner
Walter N. Tobriner, Mr.. Sawyer
said:
THE three and a half years
that l have served as executive
director of the Council on
Human Relations have been
rewarding.
1T has been a privilege to
serve the District government
in its efforts to improve human
relations and the community
and to assist and advise the
Board of Commissioners in its
efforts to promote merit hiring
practices and policies within
the District government, among
firms engaged in contracts with
the District government and,
more important, with the many
business establishments in the
community"
Asked by reporters if he was
satisfied with the progress made
in improving human relations
in Washington, Mr.. Sawyer
said:
There are still vestiges of
discrimination in Washington,
but, in my opinion, a lot more
opportunities have been pro-
vided for non-whites in WASH
ington."
Mr.. Sawyer said he believes
that the biggest problem re-
manning is the need to provide
more training and job oppor.

Mr.. Sawyer said that he

The money went for such items

church contributions.

the mother said. How can
you afford it?', they say. I
think the expense is a problem
in attracting foster homes"

Area Copter
Service Held
Unnecessary

Helicopter service linking the
areas three airportS is not
needed at this time. Ralph L.
Wiser, a hearing examiner for
the Civil Aeronautics Board,
ruled today.
Eight carriers had applied to
the CAB to provide helicopter
service between Washington
National Airport, Friendship
International Airport and the
soon-to-be opened Dulles In
ternational Airport.
The public convenience and
necessity do not require the
transportation proposed and the
applications are denied :"
Mr.. Wiser ruled.
The CAB examiner said a
Washington helicopter service
would have to be heavily sub
sidized by the Government.
THE annual subsidy for a
suitable scheduled helicopter
operation at Washington would
be approximately 50 million in
italy, with some decrease in
future years." Mr.. Wiser said
in his decision.
Subsidy Free Operation
The precise date of subsidy
free operation cannot be de-
termined att his time" he said
He indicated, however, that il
would take longer than four tc
six years before a helicoptei
service would become self
sufficient.
Applicants for the helicopter
service contended thta surface
traffic congestion will increase
and that helicopter service is
the only answer in expediting
the trip of air travellers.
Mr.. Wiser said the carriers
conclusion in this respect was
not a reasonable one. The prin-
cipal new roads planned in
Virginia would expedite high
way travel to Dulles, he said.
Highway Development
"It is we'll known that WASH
ington is developing long-range
plans which will undoubtedly
result in the establishment of
an appropriate number of free
way lanes to permit high-speed
taxi, limousine, and automobile
travel into the central CITY," he
said in his decision. with the
establishment of such high
speed surface lanes the advan-
tage in helicopter service will
be decreased"
He added that neither the
Department of Defense nor the
Post Office Department sup
ports payment of subsidy to a
Washington helicopter service.
THE benefits to Washington
traffic do not justify the multi
million dollar expenditure of
Federal funds which would be
required in subsidy" Mr.. Wiser
concluded.

The family has moved into
a larger house since the arrival
of the foster children.
Views on Program
Welfare Director Gerard NJ
Shea says of the program: 1--WE
feel that the next best place
to a child's own home is the
foster home. We are very
pleased at the type of foster
parent we have been able tC
attract. They are genuinely in.
terested and concerned about
helping children or they woulC
never have become fostel
parents"
Mrs. Alice r. Smith, chief o.
the Child Welfare Division
points out that under the pres
ent rate the foster mother is
not reimbursed for the service
she gives.
When the department raised
the rate for the care of physi-
cally and emotionally handi-
capped children, more good
homes became available.
Hopefully, a higher board
rate would attract more homes
for all the children.
OF the more than 600 young
sters now at overcrowded
Junior Village, at least 40O
could go into foster homes
And many children are living
in the community in unSatis-
factory homes, Mrs. Smith
said.
Homes Checked
Foster parents are visited
several times before their
homes are approved. Workers
talk to both father and mother
since the fathers acceptance
of the plan is important
Workers are interested, too, in
how the couple feels about
children, and the experience
they have had with them. The
Health Department licenses
homes for adequate physical
characteristics.
The department pays $40 a
month for care of babies up to
six months of age, and $50 a
month for other chillren.
Commissioner John B. Dun
can, the commissioner respons-
ible for welfare matters in the
city, has given top priority to
foster care in the fiscal 1864
budget now being prepared,
with special emphasis on a
higher board rate.

ReappOrtiOning
Case Argued
Maryland Senate
Changes Sought
BY PAUL HOPE
Star staff Writer

ANNAPOLIS. July 23.-The
Maryland Committee for Fair
Representation indicated today
that it wants many more mem
bers of the House of Delegates
for the urban areas if they can't
have more State senators.
I'VE are entitled to the prin-
ciple of majority rule" declared
Alfred L. Scanlan. attorney for
the committee, in arguments
before the Maryland Court Of
Appeals.
Right now, the committee is
concentrating on getting more
senators for the urban counties.
The committee already has been
successful in getting 10 more
members for suburban counties
and Baltimore City in the House
of Delegates.
Mr.. Scanlan claimed that the
Federal Constitution requires
that both Houses of the General
Assembly must be at least re-
lated to population figures. He
planned to take this argument
I to the Supreme Court if neces-
sary.
To Seek Revision
He indicated, however, that If
the argument for senate re-
apportionment is turned down,
the committee will seek a re-
vision of the House of Delegates
on population basis.
He declared that the court
should look at the General AS
sembly as a whole in determin-
ing whether the urban areas
are being Disseminated against.
Under the present arrange
ment. the urban areas have a
bare majority in the House Of
Delegates, while the rural sec
tionS have overwhelming con-
troll in the Senate.
He said that If the House were
apportioned on a true popula-
tion basis, the urban areas would
have 105 of the 142 members
of that body. Even with the re-
apportionment enacted last
May. the four suburban coun-
ties and Baltimore City have
only 70 members. The Commit
tee for Fair Representation is
asking the Court Of Appeals to
overrule Circuit Judge o. Bowie
Duckett's decision which held
that the Senate membership is
properly constituted along
geographic lines.
One Per County
Under the present apportion-
ment, one Senator is allotted
to each County and one to each
of Baltimore City's legislative
districts.
Mr.. Scanlan argued that this
special legislative treatment
given Baltimore over the years
= adding Senators until it
reached the present total of six
shows that Maryland has
recognized population to de-
gree in the past as a basis for
Senate apportionment.
He said the four urban
counties - Montgomery, Balti-
more, Prince Georges and
Anne Arundel-want the same
treatment.
Attorney General Thomas B.
Finan defended the makeup of
the Senate and claimed Mr..
Scanlan sis completely fas-
cinated with numbers and
we're dealing with people"
Mr.. Finan said that the pres
ent system preserves the "syS-
tenn of checks and balances"
Deputy Attorney General
Joseph Kaufman said that the
attorneys we're mot here to
have a political science debate"
He said the question is whether
the Federal Constitution "re-
quires that the Senate of Mary
land be based on population"
The Court of Appeals did not
indicate when it would rule,
but the committee for fair
representation is hopeful that
it will act before the November
election.
