rect the local contingent of CO.
RE, often promote the call for
Negro meetings. They are al
ways present at such meetings
whether called and promoted
by CORE or one of the other
civil rights organizations. At
such meetings it is an easy
matter for them to have some
local Negro beguiled by their
wiles to make some trivial
charge against local business
establishment and thus have a
vote to have such business es-
tablishment placed on the boy
colt list. More than one local
white business establishment
has fell before this subtle black
mail.
The fear that is evident a.
mong white business establish
ments is nothing like that ex-
listing among Negro business es-
tablishments. On more than one
occasion we at the Jackson Ad-
vocate have been told by Ne
gro business establishments that
their advertisement was being
published in the Free Press
without their consent. That they
were not paying for the adver-
tisement, that it was being pub
lished as bait for other Negro
and white advertisers.
THE LIE IN THE FREE
PRESS STORY
There is a political theology
alive in the world that has COM
pletely destroyed, in the minds
of its adherents, the christian
concept of morality, as is part
of the American christian dem
ocratic heritage. Those who
adhere to this anti-christian
ideology and its philosophy call
ed communism see the lie and
the truth, not as challenge of
christian morality, but as in
struments to be used will nilly
as political propaganda.
The funny looking northern
whites, as they are described by
some Parish Street Negroes
who manage and control the
Mississippi Free Press, and sci
it's news presentation an editor
ial policy, reminds me of the
funny looking whites always
in attendance at Negro meetings
which / have attended from
New York to Atlanta, who were
pointed out to me by people who
were supposed to know, for in
stance Paul Robson, as Com
munist or members of the Com
munist Party. / was therefore
not surprised at reading in the
Free Press story this statement;
Perhaps the fact that this pap
er being used to convince peo-
pie that the Jackson N egrC
Community is happy and salts

explanation why the paper "does

Who Runs The Free Press
The Mississippi Free Press,
masquerading as Negro week.
ly, with a Board of Directors
which includes several local Ne
gro business and professional
men, is fully and completely
under the direction of Northern
Whites, who have recently come
into Mississippi, mostly as
members of the Congress on
Racial Equality, allegedly en-
gagged solely in the advancement
of Negro civil rights, who con-
troll and set its news presenta-
ton and editorial policy.
The whites who manage and
control the Free Press and set
its news presentation policy, as
they go back and forth from
the office at 54011 North Far
ish Street which serves both
as the headquarters of the To-
cal contingent Of the Congress
on Racial Equality and the Mis-
sissippi Free Press, are heard
often described as funny look
ing" white folks by Negro on
lockers, who have not been be-
guiled, and who are becoming
increasingly wary of "White
Folks who leave their homes
way up in the north" and come
down here just to be working
for u.s."
The Free Press Whites have
their northern Negro contin-
gent but they carry out the
plans and policies of the Con-
gress on Racial Equality, such
as promoting demonstrations
and disturbances, and recruiting
local Negro participants.
Several local Negro youth
help around the headquarters in
the small labor connected with
the handling of the Free Press
and keeping the headquarters
clean.

A BRIEF LOOK AT
AT OUR RECORD
When ! started publishing the
Jackson Advocate in Septem-
ber 1899 without any financial
support from any source but my
own, I announced in its first
editorial that the purpose and
policy of the Jackson Advocate
would be that Of helping to
create an atmosphere of
friendship and goodwill between
the White people and Negroes
of the state, and to gain for Ne
groes the right to vote and poll
tical participation.
We personally organized the
Mississippi Negro Democrats
Association that had already in
creased the number Of Negro
voters in the state from prac-
tically none to some 5000 before
the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States outlawed the White
Democrat primary, which was
long before there was any
noticeable NAACP in the state;
and before CORE, The Student
Non-violent Coordinating Com
mittee, and the Southern Chris
tian leadership conference had
even been thought of. Under
the leadership of the Jackson
Advocate, and the Mississippi
Negro Democrats Association,
of which I was founder and Pre-
sident, the number Of Negro
voters in the state, with the
friendly assistance of White
People, by 1854 had arisen to
nearly 10000. This progress in
voting and toward political
participation was Of course in
terrupted, and set back by those
who have the responsibility for
demanding immediate school in
tegration, before Negroes had
won the uncontested right to
vote and political participation.
Just before beginning the
publication of the Jackson Ad-
vocate, we took time out from
our plan, when all else had
failed it planners, to obtain
from Kinds County Sheriff
Frank Scott a $4,000 personal
bond to sell the stock, which we
did in a campaign throughout
the state, that made possible the
beginning of the Security Life
Insurance Company.

That giant OF the guitar
world. Andres Segovia, proved
last night that he can hold
AN audience Just as well with
out his guitar.
\ At a reception at the Span
ish Embassy, the famous
artist literally held court, as
AN attentive group Of guests
which included Secretary Of
the Interior and Mrs. Udall,
sat on chairs and floor and
roared their laughter at his
stories.
The white -haired spaniard.
who has adopted the United
States as his permanent home,
didn't speak a word to the
audience during his perform
ance at the State Depart
iment auditorium earlier. But
reporters at a pre-concert in
terview and guests surround
ing him at the Embassy found
him a delightful raconteur.
The magic Of man and
guitar which leaped across
the footlights to strike a
chord in his audience lent
credence to his remark that
the way he managed to stay
ahead Of his pupils, none Of
whom ever has outdistanced
the master, was a secret be.
tween the Lord and himself.
Sneaked Practice
Asked when he began to
play. he replied unhesitatine-
.ly. before birth" But 1t
wasn't all easy. His family
decided he should play q "re-
spectacle" instrument rather
than the lowly guitar OF
gypsy fame. So he had to
smuggle his guitar and him
self over to a sympathetic
neighbor's house, there to do
the practicing which was to
make him great and to raise
the guitar to the eminence it
enjoys today.
His first recital was given
35 years ago, with music
adapted to other instruments
in an era when little guitar
music had been written. He
has toured throughout the
world, and spends his sum-
mers in Italy teaching. One
Of his 80 to so pupils he de-
scribed as outstanding. He
said 22-year-old protege,

Mccarthy has all the know

season.
Plays Best Game
However, the 6-foot-2 Junior
scored l6 points yesterday, got
most Of the loose balls that
came near him, and played
what was probably his best
game Of the season.
st. Johns scored the first two
points, but the Stays countered
with the next eight, and never
trailed. DeMatha spurted to
a 21-8 lead at the end of the
first period, saw it dwindle to
five late in the third quarter,
and then built it back.
Mcbride led both surges,
scoring nine points in the first
quarter and IA in the last
period. st. Johns trailed by
five, 50-45, early in the final
quarter, but Williams sank a
long Jump shot and Mcbride
scored two baskets to put the
game out of reach.
