CHICAGO.-(ANP)-- Clyde
A. Kennard, 35-year-old Army
veteran whose attempts to en-
roll at the University Of South

touched off a chain reaction a.

in Jail and in debt of more than
$4,000, is planning to return to
his hometown of Hattiesburg,

lathering to bust out and resolve
our problems. No, indeed.
What then, one might inquire
with becoming anxiety after all
Of the foregoing, what do we
do NOW?
My answer to that is very
simple: We talk. Oversimpli-
fication? l do not believe so, so
/ repeat - We TALK with each
other, and we KEEP talking
with open minds and under
standing. In such a time of in
terracial crisis as confronts US,
reluctance to mediate can breed
skepticism which breeds
grave doubt which breeds
mistrust which can breed
anything destructive.
Why are we not engaging in
more and more frank, objective
discussion between the respon-
sible and respected members of
both races in Mississippi? Not
long ago business groups of both
races passed splendid resolu-
tions, in which were included
unequivocal statements against
any and all forms of racial vio-
lence. Excellent! was the COM
ment heard on all sides; but
what has been the sequel to
such a fine co-gesture? Surely,
in Gods name, we have not
reached an impasse wherein we
have become so downright scar
ed of being identified with the
forces of agitation because of an
act of racial cooperation that
we would timidly refrain from
doing just that? For if we
have, then we will be sitting
ducks for the kiss of death from
those very forces. They could
hope for nothing better.
Let us Mississippians counsel
together more and more to
strengthen the sinews of the
State. And for the timid, let
me assure them that such a
course of constructive action is
as far removed from "integra-
ton" as the limits of Outer
Space.

IF YOU WE'RE OUT AT ALL

couldn't help but notice how
good the sisters and brothers of
color were looking in their East

church and other places, and l
know you also paid attention to
the fact that the children were
looking mighty nice too, all of
which brings us around to some
thing me and the boys were dis
cussing in our favorite quiet
corner in a little spot on the
northern end of Parish street

handsomely endowed with all the

the boys brought up something
that was really worth remem-

ole avenue journal.
He was saying to us that the
ladies blessed with the built-in
TAN had really come a long
way over the past five or six
years in bringing out the nat
ural beauty, grace and charm,
with which they had been endow-
ed from the days of the Queen
of Sheba down to Lena Horne

The communique said the
government had known of the
plot for several days. The gov

public figures arrested or
killed. and acts of sabotage
committed.
Thanks to the vigilance Of
the security forces and the CO.

A number of documents had

YWCA News
April 21-2S, 1863

April 21-2S, 1863
It's National YWCA Week
again.
Each year at this time the
members and friends of YWCAs
in large and small communities,
both urban and rural and on COL
lege campuses, celebrate Ma
tional YWCA Week. This year
the observances will focus on
the theme, "The YWCA-Where
You Can Belong"
In a rapidly changing and in
creasingly uncertain world this
theme, which is emphasized and
illustrated by the year-round
services of the YWCA to the
people of our community is par
ticularly apt. 1t is good to be-
long, to know you belong to a
group-a place, an organization
as friendly, steadfast and dedi-
Gated as the YWCA.
For a number of 171a years
our city has had YWCA serv-
ing the community. Many Of
US take it for granted. We
think of it as a place where
women and girls can find decent
housing, perhaps a good cafe
terra; friends, clubs, classes.
1t is more than these that
make the YWCA a place where
one can belong-more than a
sewing class, ceramic, music or
hat class or bridge games.
1t is it's faith in and concern
for people which make the
YWCA what it is.
The YWCA is a membership
organization which believes in
and works with people, all peo-
pie, as members of the human
family. It's doors and program
are open to all in Christian fell
lowship, regardless of race
creed or class.
Each member is given an op-
portunity to get and to give.
Each can receive personal devel-
opment and growth and give to
others through cooperation,
fellowship and services to the
community and the world by
belonging in a group working
to help make our community
and our world better place.
1t is good to know that the
YWCA and its services belong
to the community, and that we.
the community, through support
and participation, belong to it.
This National YWCA Week,
let US all take new, apprecia-
tive look at valued asset in
cur midst-"The YWCA, Where
You Can Belong"

roundings and the necessary coin
of the realm that enabled them

ference to breeding wrinkles in
their faces worrying about
where their next meal or dress
was coming from.
This gentleman who had the
floor, so to speak, in our little
Parish street hidaway that eve
ming, proceeded to indulge in
the opinion that the brothers of
the brown group were in line
for a few compliments too. Ac-
cording to him, the brothers are
beginning to wake up to the fact
that they're supposed to provide
the necessary ammunition (mon-
ey) for the ladies to use to
make themselves look pretty. He
even used some strong words
and said that women amt sup
posed to have to worry about
nothing that we men are
supposed to do all the providing
and they're just supposed to look
pretty and be there when called
upon for the little things that
add to happiness in home.

CONFLICT CITED
Since October 1852" the report
said, the open and flagrant VIC
lation of constitutional guarantees
in Mississippi has precipitated Sc
rious conflict which, on several
occasions, has reached the point
of crisis. Each week brings
fresh evidence of the danger of
a complete breakdown of law and
order"
The report cited long list of
incidents and said that despite
vigorous action by federal author
tiles. "the nation must be con-
cerned that the pattern of unlaw-
full activity shows no sign of abat-
ing"
In the fiscal year ended June
30. 1862. the commission said. the
federal government poured some
$3.50 million in aid to various
agencies of the state. including
military contracts and payrolls.
while it received only s27O million
from all tax sources in the state.
Massive assistance to the
economy of Mississippi has con-
tinued past the time when the
state placed itself in direct de-
fiance of the Constitution and fed
eral court orders" the commits
sion said.
FOR EXAMPLE
For example. the National
Aeronautics and Space Agency is
proceeding with plans to build a
S40O-million moon-rocket engine
test center in Pearl River and
Hancock Counties. Mississippi" it
added.
The report said the Federal Avi-
alton Agency also had just grant
ed S2.18 million for construction
of a jet airport in Jackson, with
out questioning the airport's plan
to build separate eating and rest
room facilities"
The commission urged the Pres
ident:
/. To reiterate his concern over
the Mississippi situation and call
on all persons in the state to
"join in protecting the rights of
US. citizens"
2. To continue and strengthen
his administrators efforts to sup
press existing lawlessness and
provide federal protection to citi-
zens in the exercise of their basic
constitutional rights"
8. Study whether legislation
"is appropriate and desirable to
assure that federal funds contrib
uted by citizens of all states not
be made available to any state
which continues to refuse to abide
by the Constitution and laws OF
the United States; and further.
that the President explore the le-
gal authority he possesses as chief
executive to withhold federal
funds from the State Of Missis-
sippi, until the State Of Mississippi
demonstrates its compliance with
the Constitution and laws of the
United States"

JOSEPH F. ALBRIGHT

A newly accepted member Of
a private club was proving to be
a very popular addition to the
exclusive group. He was ac-
cepted with unquestioned cor
diality by just about everyone
in the organization with the ex-
ception of one stubborn member
who steadfastedly avoided him.
Pressed for reason as to why
he persisted in his unfriendly
attitude toward the popular new
conner, he tersely stated, 81 am
determined not to like him, but
l can't hold out if I permit any
personal association"
There is moral imbedded in
his story that is far more dang
erous than amusing. We who
propose to make Mississippi our
permanent home will do we'll to
heed it's significance.
Scarcely day passes but that
l do not hear some earnest ex-
preston from friend, associate,
or acquaintance deploring the
stresses and strains that the
current tide of disruptive events
is placing upon the lines Of COM
munication between the racial
groups in the State. Most of this
comment is obviously sincere,
stemming from those who are
in basic agreement upon one be-
lief: If every possible effort is
not made and sustained to keep
the lines of traditional friendly
communication open, then we
could be inviting incalculable
harm to US all.
Time has ever been the ally
of those who walk the road of
sincerity with vigorous bene-
ficient determination. And, in
versely, it has been truthfully
said that the road to hell is paw
ed with good intentions.
In this day, when we are con-
stantly plagued with intemper-
ate words and action, calculated
disruption, and just about every
conceivable form of sociological
stupidity we of good faith
and loyal concern for the well
fare Of our great State had
better come up with something
besides questionable good in
tentions". You can believe me
