Meredith experienced the tragic
conditions that marked his enroll
ment at ole Miss With two dead,
rs injured, several hundred under
arrest and 1000 troops on hand
to support a federal order calling
for his admittance to the school,
Meredith's case marks the extreme.
(At the peak of the Mississippi
crisis, $4,000 troops were called to
the Oxford campus. Since then,
4, 1000 have been withdrawn.)
On the other hand, some of his
predecessors enrolled under al
most normal circumstances be-
cause of enlightened local leader
ship and general respect for law.
In fact, at some schools in the
South no federal court orders were
required for the first Negro to
gain admittance.
One of the first Negroes to en-
ter the fight to attend southern
state school was Donald Gaines
Murray of Baltimore City, Md.
Murray, who was graduated from
Amherst college, Amherst, Mass,
in 1884, became the first Negro ad-
mitted to the University of Mary
lands law school in Oct. 1885. The
Maryland Court Of Appeals ordered
his admission because the state did
not provide an equally adequate
law school for Negroes.
In the fall of 1850, Esther Nc
Cready of Baltimore became the
first Negro admitted to the Univ
ersity of Maryland School Of Nurs-
ing.
The university agreed to admit
Negroes ON the undergraduate
level in Feb. 1861, when Hiram
T. Whittle of Baltimore was ad-
mitted.
Perhaps one of the most famous
and precedent-setting cases was
that Of Lloyd L. Gaines, who
sought admittance to the Universi-
ty of Missouri. The Supreme Court
ruled on Dec. IL, 1888, that the
university admit Gaines or the
state must provide equal educa-
ton facilities within the state"
Gaines was Lincoln university
(Mo) graduate at the time there
were 16 states (southern and
border) that excluded Negroes be-
cause Of color.
When Lincoln university opened
a law school in st. Louis, Gaines
lawyer filed a new suit, charging |
the Lincoln (Negro) school still
failed to provide equal education
The suit, however, was
dismissed after Gaines mysterious
ly disappeared in 1889. His attor-
neys said they could not plead a
case for a client they could not
find.
Another case which made head
lines in the school integration
fight was that Of Ada Louis Sip T.
uel-F1sher, first Negro to attend
the University Of Oklahoma. Mrs.
Fisher. then Miss sipuel, applied to
enter the university's School Of
Law in 1946. The state set UP a
law school at Negro Langston uni
but Miss sipuel took her
case to court again as did
Gaines - claiming the segregated
school was not equal to that at the
University Of Oklahoma in Nor
nan. When she won again, the
state legislature passed a law per-
Negroes to attend that
school II courses they wanted
we're not taught at Langston. To-

Surplus Commodity Program In
LeFOre County Mississippi

Surplus Commodity Program In
LeFore County Mississippi
1. Since 1866, surplus foods have
been given freely to the state of
Mississippi by the us. Department
of Agriculture. In the 1961-62 fis-
cal year, Mississippi received $21 u
million worth of this surplus, most
ly in such basic foods such as but
ter, milk, cheese, flour and po-
tatoes.
2. Each county in the state de-
cides If it wants the food. If a
county joins, it must pay the stor-
age and distribution costs. Out of
"a counties in Mississippi, 81 still
participate in the program.
8. 1t appears that LeF1ore Coun-
ty discontinued surplus distribu-
ton because voter registration at
tempts touched off enough anti
Negro sentiment to give the white
groups which have always been
opposed to the program enough
power to force the county board of
supervisors to discontinue it.
4. The action, while not resulting
in widespread starvation, has caus-
ed serious food shortages. When
the first shipment of food reached
Greenwood, Mississippi, February
18th, there were lines stretching
for many blocks outside the dis
tribution centers.
s. LeFlore county has a popul-
alton of $4,000. The Negro popula-
ton is over $1,000. In the entire
country there are 312 Negro regis
tered voters.
6. County officials said last year
they distributed during the winter
months to $4,000 persons, over 9O%
Of which were Negro, for a total
administrative cost of about $37,-
22S.23.
7. In LeF1ore the Negro present
ly earns an average Of $500 per
year. This comes mostly from pick
ing cotton, for which he is paid
between So and 81 per 100 pounds.
A top picker can average about
125 pounds per day, working IL to
II hours.

Records To Help

Chicago, Ill. - Comedian Dick
Gregory has begun an all-out drive
to collect $37,O in order to cover
the cost Of the us. surplus food
distribution program to over 26, 900
destitute Negro and white farm
workers in LeFlore County Miss
issippi.
The money will be raised by the
sale Of a record album called my
Brothers Keeper" The LIP, Of
which a limited number of 81, 900
copies have been made, is the tape
of a question and answer session
following Mr.. Gregory's perform
ance at San Diego State College
February 10th.
The albums were expected to ar
rive in Chicago Saturday, March
End, and to go on sale locally at
the Tivoli Theater 63rd and Cot
tage Grove. A Loop location will
be announced shortly. Sites for ma
tional distribution have not yet
been determined.
The price of the record will be
set at a $3.50. All proceeds, less
the manufacturing cost Of $50,
will be turned over to Mr.. c. e.
Lipscomb, President of the Le-
F1ore County Board Of supervisors.
On February 11th, Gregory air
lifted $4,000 pounds Of food to
Greenwood, Mississippi when it
was learned that local officials
had refused to accept continued
shipments Of US. Department Of
Agriculture surplus foods on which
thousands Of families rely for sub
sistence.
At that time, Mr.. Gregory
charged the food program hac
been cutoff because a campaign
had begun in May, 1852 to register
all eligible Negro voters.
Gregory said, II can't believe the
whole thing is just a coincidence
From all that I can determine the
Mississippi officials acted in re-
prisal simply because Negroes at

The LeFIore county board O.
supervisors has denied this charge
and has claimed that they with
drew from the surplus food pro
gram because they could no longe,
afford the storage and distribution
costs which came to about $37, ,OOC
annually.
Il am perfectly willing to Civ,
them the benefit of the doubt,
Mr.. Gregory said further. IF the,
really can't afford the program
and are sincerely interested il
feeding these people, then I can
see why they should refuse tn,

Fish Hatchery Proposed
for MescoIero Indians

Congressman Joseph M. Mon
toya recently appeared before the
Apr opriations Subcommittee on
the Department of Interior and Re-
lated Agencies te stifying in support
of the construction of a fish hatch
cry on the Mescalero Indian Res
ervation.
Congressman Montoya stated,
"The Bureau of Sport Fisheries
and Wildlife has estimated that it
will cost about $4,000 to build
medium sized hatchery. Today,
however, am reque sting only that
you will consider an allowance of
$4,000 for the fir st phase of con-
struction in fiscal year 1864. This
will cover preliminary engineer
ing. the costs of preparing de-
tailed plans and specifications,
and some initial construction ac-
tivity. In this way. it will be pos
sible to plan the facility now and
to SO schedule construction that
fish will be available when needed
for the stocking program. If this
is not done, the lag between con-
struction and production, which
is about three years. will serious
ly and adversely affect the use of
struction in fiscal year 1864. This
ly and adversely affect the use of
the recre ational opportunities
which the Mescalero Tribe is now
working so diligently to develop. 1t
will also mean that a project which
is essential for the future economic
we'll being of the Indians, as we'll
as one which will contribute to the
economy of other citizens of the
State, will be unnecessarily de-
layed."
The Congressman further stat
ed, ut takes time to construct a
modern trout hatchery. My C concern
is that when the water development
projects have been completed, the
hatchery shall be ready to stock
the waters being created. | have
been advised by the US. Bureau
of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife
that construction of this hatcheryis
feasible. The Tribe and the Bureau
