DR.. Salk: Portrait Worker

DR.. Jonas Salk who will direct the Sak Insti-
tute for Biological Studies at San Diego Calf is
modest man. He pays little heed to the worldwide
recognition of his right to be ranked among Amer
ica's leading scientists.
The man who developed the Sak vaccine a.
gainst polio, and thus unquestionaby saved tens of
thousands of lives, impatienty waves aside any
suggestions that his role was historic In one of few
interviews he has granted, he has said, with re-
spect to the vaccine:
long forward pass. He added in effect, that in
stead of receiving accolades he would far rather
devote his time to his work
AS long ago as 1856, year after his polio
vaccine was declared safe potent and effective Dr.
Salk turned his thoughts toward creating center
for biological research where outstanding scientists
in the fundamental discipnes would carry on their
work in an atmosphere of intellectual imagination,
heightened by the presence of their fellow work.

Some biographers note contradiction in this
scientist who for many years has acted as if
lS-hour- day was nothing extraordinary. If he is
modest when in the public view he is the opposite

ly intent on reaching his goal.

ANOTHER EDITOR SPEAKS OUT

David Lee. Negro publisher of the Newark
Telegram in Newark. New Jersey. recently
made an extensive tour of the South and
has offered some significant and intelligent
conclusions on the question of civil rights
for members of his race Here is what he
had to say in an editorial which deserves
nationwide circulation and analysis:
1.-THE racial lines in the South are so
clearly drawn and defined there can be
no confusion. When / am in Virginia or
South Carolina, / don't wonder if l know
the score. However. have walked into sew
sral places right here in New Jersey where
we have a civil rights law, and have been
refused service.
1.-THE whites in the South stay with their
own and the Negroes do likewise. This one
fact has been the economic salvation of the
Negro in the South. Atlanta, Ga, compares
favorably with Newark in size and popula-
ton. Negroes there own and control mil
lions of dollars worth of business All the
Negro business in New Jersey will not
amount to as much as our race has in
one city in Georgia. This is also true
, in South Carolina and Virginia.
mo matter what Negro wants to do, he
can do it in the South. In Spartanburg, s.
ca Ernest Collins, young Negro, operates
4 large funeral home, taxicab business,
filling station, grocery store mas several
buses, runs large farm and a night club
collins couldn't do all that in New Jersey
or New York. The Safe Bus Company in
Winston-Salem, N c.. owns and operates
over hundred. If Negro in New Jersey
or New York had the money and attempt
ed to obtain franchise to operate line
he would not only be turned down, but he
would be lucky if he didn't get bullet in
his back.
Negroes and whites get along much bet
ter together in the South than Northern
sgitators would have you believe Of course
I know that there are some sore spots
down there, and we have them UP here,
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1962-06-16

also. But it is not as bad as it is painted
The trouble in tie South stems from ignor-
ant whites and Negroes. not from the in
tellgent better element of the two races.
"Tne attitude of the Southerners toward
our race is a natural psychological reac-
ton and aftermath Ct the War Between
the States. Negroes we're the properties OF
these people. The whole economy of the
South was built around slavery. The
South was forced by bloodshed and much
harm TO its pride to give up slavery. Over
night these slaves became fullfledged Amer
lean citizens ENJOYING the same rights as
their former owners.
Certainly you couldn't expect the South
to forget this in rs Oh even $50 years. That
feeling has passed from one generation to
another. but it is not one of hatred for the
Negro No section of the country has made
more progress in finding workable solu-
ton to the Negro problem than the South.
Naturally Southerrers are resentful when
the North sttempts t. ram civil rights
program down their threats.
81 have pointed out IN dozens of editorials
that the white people of this country are
not only cur friends but they want to see
us get ahead as race AS matter OF
fact, we are more preiudiced than those
whom we accuse Of being prejudiced
1.-THE entire race problem in America is
wrong. Our approach is wrong. We ex-
pend all our energies and spend millions Of
dollars trying to convince white people that
we are as good as frey are, that we are
an equal
Our fight for recognition. justice civil
rights and equality should be carried on
within the race Let VS. demonstrate to the
world by our living standards our conduct.
our ability and our intelligence that we
are the equal Of sny man. and when we
shall have done this the entire world,
including the South, will accept us on our
terms Our present program of threats and
agitation makes enemies out OF our
friends"

We DECLINE TO AGREE

An article in the most recent issue of U. S.
News and World Report, one of the nations top
magazines, appears under the caption, Negro Goal
Balance of Power in the South.
One of the sad facts about this period of Ne
gro history especially that of the southern Negro,
lot of things being written that doing the
southern Negro cause far more harm than good,
largely because they being written by from
two days to two weeks viewers of the southern
scene; and others who have made themselves think
they know, but who have really gotten close
enough to the really intelligent southern Negro to
learn.
AS southern Negro of some sixty-odd years
of identity with the group, having been closely
connected with most of the souths most able Ne
gro leaders since boyhood and up to the present
time, decline to agree with the implications and
the caption of the article in u. S. News and World
Report.
What the really intelligent southern Negro
leader and voter is seeking is not the balance of
power; but what he is seeking now, and what he
has been seeking all along is the right to vote and
political participation, to be able to join with
the best white people of the south, working with
goodwill and cooperation for the solution of it's
problems, and for southern progress.

PARISH STREET SATUR-
DAY NIGHT: Making things
wusser than dey used to be :.
Whilst l was eating my fish
and drinking my beer that is the
subject on which there was a
lively discussion going on as
some of the regular Satdee mite
crowd was assembled around a
table in one of the Ole Avenues
favorite spots, indulging as l
was in their favorite Satdee mite
repast, and as the discussions
went on, and / listened, ever now
and then somebody would come
up wild an example to prove the
point. The talk had already
gone on a sorta logical digres-
sion from President Kennedy's

ham School Boards policy of
allowing transfers of Negro
students to white schools only
after rigorous screening by the
Board land the application of
the North Carolina Pupil Place
ment Law to Durham schools.
The Durham case is similar
to the Roanoke, Va, school case
which the Court of Appeals for
the Fourth Circuit decided last
month. In the Roanoke case the
Court invalidated Negro" and
white" school areas, racially
discriminatory transfer pro-
cedures, and the initial assign
ment of children to segregated
schools.
The Fund brief to the Court
of Appeals attacks many of the
same features in the Durham
school system. Fund attorneys
contend that the constitutional
rights of Negro students are in
fringed $50 long as a school
system based upon dual racial
zones is maintained and they
are assigned to those zones"
In 1859 and 1860 the School
Board held appeal hearings to
determine which Negro stu
dents would be eligible for
transfer to white schools. The
Fund trief states that the hear
ings and other criteria used to
screen Negro students, such as
residence, health, and grades,
are applied in racially dis
n-iminatory manner land are
"employed by Durham to frus-
trate, not effectuate desegrega-
ton"
The brief asks the Court to
issue an order requiring the
City of Durham to set up ga
nonracial system of school as
signments." If the School
Board is required to submit a
desegregation plan the Fund
attorneys ask that the present
plaintiffs be admitted to deseg-
regated schools while such a
plan is being prepared.
Under the present screening
system only fifteen Negro stu
dents have been transferred to
biracial schools in Durham.
More than 400 Negro students
applied for such transfers in
1859 and 1860.
Fund attorneys are hopeful
that decision requiring step
ped-up desegregation in Dur
ham will be a serious blow to
the token" approach which has
begged down school desegrega-
ton in North Carolina. The
Southern Educational Report
ing Service revealed in May
that only .061 percent of the
332,962 Negro school children
in North Carolina are attend
ing biracial schools.

who is grinning wryly at the
razzing he's getting from Le-

band begins to play and the
laughing crowd heads out
for the dance floor.
Now O'Brien's ancestors
hated Robinson's for the
Battle Of the Boyne. The
Robinsons punished the Nc
Whorters for supporting
Robert Bruce. The Leblancs
marched all over Europe be-
hind the Little Corporal con-
quering the Dubrowskis and
the Torrellis. Long before
that the Olsons had come in
their dragon ships to ravage
the Robinsons and Nc
Whorters. The Muellers
blasted the Leblancs on the
Marne. And for centuries the
gates Of all of them we're
closed to the Kravitzes, who
we're forced to carry yellow
passports.
Americans, thank Heaven,
have taken a long drink from
the fountain of Lethe.
In this Christmas season
it's a good time to consider
which Of our hates have a
right to be nursed and kept
warm, and which have run
through the statute of limi-
tations and ought to be
tossed on the trash.
