NAACP Youth Stressed New Jobs

Jackson public library last March.
The year saw the elimination Of
the nations longest sit-in drive, in
Oklahoma City. 1t started in May
of 1857 and ended victoriously in
July of 1861 period of four
years and two months.
All told. the Oklahoma City drive
integrated III stores, AZ capitulat-
ing during 1861.
The NAACP was also able to es-
tablish units at three white south
ern universities: Duke and North
Carolina, both in Durham, and Ok
lahoma at Norman.
Mr.. Wright reported that 72e
NAACP youth demonstrators were
arrested during the year on charges
ranging from breach of the peace
and annoyance" to contributing
to the delinquency of minors.
The Association raised bail for
them in the form of cash and pro-
perty bonds totaling more than
$51 200.
Youth units now number; 521
junior, senior and young adult
councils; 116 college chapters; anC
23 state conferences.
These chapters also carried out
programs of leadership training,
voter registration drives, career
guidance conferences, back-to-
school campaigns, selective buy
ing drives, and May 18th celebra-

Hearing Granted By
Appeal Court To
Hear James Meredith

New York - The U. S. Court of
Appeals for the Fifth Circuit heard
arguments on the denial of a mo-
ton for preliminary injunction
which, if granted, would allow the
first Negro student to enter the
University of Mississippi next
month.
The hearing, was scheduled for
January 9 in New Orleans, La,
was on an appeal by James How
ard Meredith, a Jackson State Col
lege student who has been trying
to transfer to the University since
last Spring.
The Court of Appeals granted
last month a request by Meredith's
attorneys asking that the hearing
be scheduled on the earliest pos
sible date. The speeding up of a
hearing of this type is considered
extremely unusual. nN
Meredith's suit. filed May 81,
1861, by NAACP Legal Defense
and Educational Fund attorneys
against the University, had sought
to have him enter the 1861 sum-
mer session at the University. His
motion was denied by District
Judge Sidney Mize on December
Ia, after numerous delays and
postponements.
There has, as yet, been no de-
segregation of Mississippi schools
on any level.
The University Registrar testi-
fled that Meredith's application
was denied last spring because he
could not comply with the require
ment Of five recommendations
from University alumni, and be-
cause the all-Negro Jackson State
College is not member of the
Southern Association Of Colleges
and Secondary Schools. povislreH
Judge Mize, accepting the Reg
|istrar's explanation, ruled that
''the plaintiff (Meredith) was not
denied admission because of his
color or race but for other
reasons.
In taking appeal to the higher
court, Legal Defense Fund attor-
neys are expected to argue that
the alumni certificate requirement
is unconstitutional because there
are no Negro alumni of the Uni
versity, and that the refusal to
accept Meredith's transfer from
jackson State College is VIOLA
ton of the Constitutions Equal
Protection Clause. The Defense
Fund brief points out that Mere
dith has earned credits from other
institutions of higher learning
which would be acceptable if he
were white.
If the Court of Appeals grants
the temporary injunction, Mere
dith will be able to attend the Uni
versity's second semester begin

WEAVER RESIGNS FROM NAACP BOARD
Prestige Sometimes
Measured By Time
Served In Jail

The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
glumly reported last week that its
membership had declined by 49,
600 from 100000 in 1860. The drop,
said Herbert Hill, labor secretary
of the NAACP., was mostly among
unemployed Negroes unable to pay
dues ($2 a year,. That was certain
ly one factor-but another at least
equally important was a split
among leading Negro civil rights
groups, with the NAACP cast in

young Negroes find increasingly

ern Negro college students particu-
larly are fed up with the slow, leg
alistic approach of the NAACP A
segregation law is often declared
invalid in the courtroom, after
patient argument by the NAACP.,
only to remain in force in practice.
To fight segregation in their own
way. young Negroes have organic
ed themselves into a federation
called the Student Nonviolent Co
ordinating Committee c'Snick" for
Short. Snick is led by a Chicagoan,
James Forman, 80. II provides
the shock troops of the civil rights
front, organizes sit-ins, holds de-
monstrations and boycotts anti
Negro stores.
Prestige among Snick's tough
and tenacious young Negroes is
often measured by the number of
times member has gone to jail on
civil rights charges. In the end
it is the NAACP that supports
fees. But while he praises the cour-
age of Snick's members, NAACP
Executive Secretary Roy Wilkins
deplores their tactics. "They don't
take orders from anybody; they
don't see anybody. They operate
in a kind of vacuum; parade, pro-
test, sit-in. How far up the road
does that get you? When the head
lines are gone, the issues still have
to be settled in court"

NAACP Seeks More
Desegregation In
Arlington County

Richmond, Va. - The United
States District Court has been
asked to enjoin the Arlington Coun-
ty School Board from enlarging
an existing all-Negror school until
the board s'will have proposed and
the Court will have approved a
plan to bring about the elimination
of racial discrimination in the pub
lie school system of Arlington
County,
The motion seeking the injunction
was filed on Dec. 27 by NAACP
Attorneys Otto L. Tucker of Alex
andria, Frank D. Reeves of Wash
ington, James M. Nabrit, III, of
New York City and S. w. Tucker
of Richmond. 1t was filed on be-
half of Negro parents seeking to
transfer their children out of seq
Iregated schools.
The NAACP petition alleges that
white children living within the
zone of the Negro school may trans
fer out, but that Negro children
are not permitted to do so. More
over, it charges, the Negro Hoff-
man-Boston school is the only one
in the county in which classes in
all grades from the first through
the 18th are maintained.
A few Negro children, living
outside of the Negro district have
been permitted to enroll in schools
with white children. The NAACP
complaint requests a court ruling
restraining the school board from
requiring any Junior of senior
high school student to attend the
Hoffman*Boston school.

COURT TO NEAR NEGRO STUDENT Il
Stepped Up Program Pledged By wilkins

during the year, the all-import-
ant assault upon employment dis
elimination has continued and been
intensified. The SOLDERING statistics
upon the loss of employment by
Negroes and of the restrictions
upon those still employed dictate
high priority for the fight for equal
opportunity in employment. In
northern industrial centers one
out of every three Negro workers
was unemployed sometime during
1861.
Employment opportunities and
training and upgrading for our
workers must be the concern of
every local community. We must
have sound base in the national
economy else our precarious eco
nomic position could become the
means of throttling our drive to-
ward first-class citizenship"
Noting the progress made to-
ward full citizenship rights during
the past year, the NAACP leader
said: Whereas other groups have
worked on a project basis, striking
at one problem in one locality,
usually with the same technique,
the NAACP activity has stretched
across the nation and has dealt
with a wide range of phases of the
central problem, including schools,
housing, employment, the fran
chise, intra-and interstate travel,
police action, recreation, local,
state and federal legislation, and
with administrative and executive
procedures. A variety of techniques
has been employed. Our protest,
picketing and selective buying
campaigns extended into many
states and localities
Concluding his report, Mr.. Will
kins pledged: '.We shall enlarge
our operations, sharpen our as
sault, and broaden the attack in
1862 We will do this not only for
ourselves, but for our country" "

Fortune Plan

A young man who hoped to
pyramid a purse snatch into
a fortune by wise investment
was thwarted by police last
night before he could get his
financial empire off the ground.
Minutes after Miss Priscilla
Doucette, 80, of 1900 Sixteenth
street NV, was robbed while
walking on Scott circle, Police
Pvt. Otto P. Biller poked a long
stick into q trash can in a
nearby alley and got the fol-
lowing response:
ouch! I give up!"
Out from under the rubbish
climbed jeremiah Odom, 10,
clutching the wallet from Miss
Doucette,s purse. The purse was
found in the trash can.
After the victim picked him
out Of a police lineup. Odom
told Miss Doucette he had de-
liberately waited for q young
woman to rob, $50 she wouldn't
have a heart attack"
Before he was led off to be
charged with robbery, Odom
explained why he had turned to
crime. according to Detective
Sergt. Douglas M. Smith. He
was broke and out of work,
Odom said, and planned to
make the money in Miss
Doucette's purse work for him.
When he got more, he would
make that work for him, too,
he said.
Police doubted that Odom's
capitalist career was destined
to get very far even if Pvt.
Biller and his stick hadn't in
terfered: Miss Doucette's purse
contained only 80 cents.
