Sees Necessity Of Knowing
Approximate Number
Of ChiIdPen In School

Editor: AS parent Of a young
ster who will be a Kindergarten
next year, and as an interested
citizen who has served on various
committees in such organizations
as the Urban League Guild, NAA-
CP, Interfaith Fair Housing, and
Eighth Ward DFL club, 7 am very
much interested in the idea Of talk
ing a race census" in our Mime
apolis Public Schools.
A recent editorial in the Mime
apolis Star" on the taking of a
school race census" prompted me
to write this letter. The editorial
stated. "a legal barrier may stand
in the way of the Minneapolis
Board of Education as it moves
toward a rough count of Negro
and Indian children in our schools.
Perhaps if state law stands in the
way of a school board head count,
the approximations could be made
by some other agency . the job
needs to be done it Is too i'm
portant to be neglected"
This is a very sensible attitude
towards a ruling based on an out
dated state law. More accurate
information on the distribution of
Negro children in the public schools
is very essential to the school
board in order that they may deal
more effectively with the problems
of de facto segregation. One Of the
results of the effective use of a
race census might be a school ad-
ministration ruling which would
have a more flexible policy to-
wards open enrolment" in some
school communities as a method
of minimizing de facto segregation
especially in the elementary
schools.
The education Of young Negro
children Is very basic in their total
development as citizens. 1t Is just
as important as mammoth at
tempts in urban areas 10 try and
improve the lot of the Negro by
tailoring individual opportunit-
les" in the form Of houses, jobs,
restaurant seats, and 50 on. The
improvement Of educational oppor-
tunfties for elementary age school
children can help to provide the
Negro communities with a long
range leap forward toward the
goals of fuller citizenship in this

ingham bombers murdered, caused by the Negro
community itself.
When Lawrence wrote that the attack might
have been perpetrated by "a small but dangerous
clique pursuing the objectives (ntegration) sought
by Communist subversives and suggested that the
tragedy belonged the shoulders of Birrningham's
Negroes, who invited it by their demonstrations
and provocative speeches. Newbod Noyes, editor
of the conservative WASHINGTON EVENING
STAR couldn't take 1t.
In the same edition Mr.. Noyes wrote: Il strong
ly disagree with this column. David Lawrence today
advances the thesis that the death of four children
attending Sunday School in Birmingham Is a some
what logical result Of the active efforts of Negroes
to secure their civil rights as Americans. We print
the column part Of continuing effort 10 present
a variety of views controversial issues But
speaking for ourselves we reject Mr. Lawrence's
views on the subject as basteless and absurd.
The editorial continued: ut hardly behooves q
member Of the white majority in this country to
make the death Of innocent victims of bigotry an
occasion for the lecture to the Negro for additional
restraint. This is time for shame, not self right
eousness."
Since the Westbrook Pegler syndicated column
was dropped by the Hearst papers, David Lawrence
and perhaps William S. White are the only Amer
lean defenders of us. racial apartheid who have
wide syndicadon in the leading American daily
papers. There are few others Of this stripe but
none enjoy the distribution of Lawrence White.
Even those newspapers and readers who agree
with the so-called conservatism of David Lawrence
startled when he labeled the internationally
acclaimed and praised March on Washington" as a
day of public disgrace" Lawrence is also editor OF
the US News and World Report which keeps a
steady barrage in an effort to keep the Negro in
his place"
Our STAR and TRIBUNE editorial pages buy
the Lawrence column but did not run the nauseat.
ing column on the Birmingham bombing. The TRIB
UNE has apparently dropped the William S. White
column which was reactionary column without the
clever writing Of Lawrence We hope Whites poison
does not again appear in any of our Twin City
papers soon.

ISSUES: GOOD
AND BAD
BY P. L. PRATTIS

Almost anything the President,
or any other person in high politi-
cal office may say, no matter
how worthy, can be attributed to
a political motive, base or other
wise. On the surface, that is be-
cause anything political luminardes
say has a tendency to draw people
10 them or to repel them.
Hence, when President Kennedy
in a recent press conference paid
tribute to the growing number Of
white Southerners who want bo
obey the law, he was unqueStton-
ably being politically smart, but ]
doubt very much THAT he even
wanted to be politically smart. !
do think he wanted to be smart In
the sense of doing something to
narrow the cleavage between white
Americans and black Americans in
the Southland.
This Is smart, important and
necessary. As I have written time
after time, the so-called rewolu-
tion cannot be won without the
support Of white Americans. Our
job Is not to set black against
white, or even white against white,
but to unite black and white on the
side of what is right. There are
many signs that this can be done
and that it must be done, but the
necessity creates a job that must
be worked at day and night-posi-
lively.
There is no question In my mind
about Wallace of Alabama and
Barnett (Johnson) of Mississippi
eventually being isolated. They and
their kind will ultimately be re-
placed. The Negro vote will help to
replace them, not with a Negro
necessarily, but with a man who
is on the side Of what is right.
Thus in the peaceful revolution
now being waged, the one great
challenge is TO find ways to make
friends without surrendering prin-
caple.
This is the kind of effort which
requires more brains, than bravery
1t is the kind Of effort which can
be exercised by individuals as well
as masses, every day as well as at
stated times. It requires more
thought than bluster, more homes
ty than Stubbornness.
For example, to take one little
thing: have been observing the
pennants inscribed I'VE Shall
Overcome" being carried on the
aerials of automobiles. I like the
idea. The pennants are usually
yellow and the slogan Is in black
letters. Now how much smarter 1t
would have been, or would be, to
have a background of red and blue
and the slogan in bright letters Of
white?
How much more suggestive II
would be to have red, white and
blue pennant with the same slogan
than a yellow and black pennant ?
I venture to say that there are
thousands of whites who would
pick up a red, white and blue pen
nant which includes all Americans
rather than a yellow and black
pennant which seems 10 be exclu-
sively for Negroes.
I can never forget the sage ad-
vice Of Elder Statesman Congress
man William L. Dawson: I'VE Ne
groes have got to stop getting mad
and get smart"
President Kennedy's gesture of
friendship toward loyal white
Southerners who want to obey the
law was the kind of gesture we
should try to emulate.

Board reduced Supt. Irwin H.

five-year capital budget last
night to $370,000.
The only proposals retained
for city council consideration
are $4,000 for a three-year

High School and $29O,0O0 for
a high school auditorium and
equipment.
The $889,33l originally in
cluded for completion of addi-

was cut because the money al
ready is on hand from a 1861

include a planetarium, auxil-
