tic achievement, outstanding per-
sonaltty and leadership in extra
curTicular activities. You Just
knew from her warm personality,
poiSe and modesty as she was
greeted by Vice President Rufus
w. Hanson Of First National that
here was a young lady most de-
serving of the high honor bestowed
upon her by the school and the
Bank.
It didn't dawn on me when !
met her that she was the daughter
of Solomon Hughes Of 3716 Fourth
Av. s., Minneapolis, a good friend
of mine whom I had known while
working at Northwest Airlines.
MIR. Hughes is a longtime en-
pIoyee of the airline.
Shfrley's selection as one Of the
Banks Award winners undoubted-
ly was a factor In her obtaining q
position in the Savings Depart
ment Of the Bank for soon after
the Award dinner she started to
work for First National, remain
ing there until Just recently when
she resigned 10 enter Coe College
at Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Those who know her hope that
she will be as outstanding a stu
dent there as she was in high
school where In her final year she
ranked near the top of her class.
To spur her on, she has the ex-
ample set by her sister Joyce, q
Phi Beta Kappa graduate Of Garlic
ton College, Northfield, Mimi, who
later studied in Spain and now Is
attending the University of Mime
sofa law school.
Looking at Shirley's high school
achievements, 1t Is easy to con-
clude she VIII be an outstanding
college student In the field Of her
chosen profession, psychology.

Club Supervisor Says
Negroes NOT Hired
On 18Th Floor

Harry Grey, 1929 3rd Av. s., re-
ported TO NAACP that he was dis
craminated against while seeking
a Job at the Minneapolis Athletic
Club, after being told by the State
Employment Service the job was
open.
Grey says he was sent to the
club and was told to go to the 18th
floor where a job was open. Grey
claims that when he spoke to the
supervisor and gave her his refer
raj card, and the person in charge
told him that Negroes weren't be-
ing hired on that floor and that
the Employment service should
have known better than to send
one there.
NAACP has referred the case to
the Minneapolis Fair Employment
Practices Commdttee. Louis Erwin
executive director Of the FTPC,

Elsewhere on the Northern
school integration front:
PHILADELPHIA: Civil rights
groups were pushing for full in
tegration of schools, but a split
was reported among those advo-
eating militant action and others
pressing for more concilliatory
moves.
The spokesman for the militant
group was Cecil B. Moore, presi-
dent of the cfty's chapter of the
NAACP, who threatened to call q
boycott of classes by 10000 Ne
gro students unless the Board Of
Education integrate the schools at
ONCE.
On the other hand, Floyd L.
Logan, president of the Education
al Equality League, said he was
opposed to the boycott because "it
is important that children not lose
any part of their education, even If
1t is inadequate. Meanwhile, pick

tainty.
BOSTON: After picketing out
side, Negro and white picl1ets in
Vaded the headquarters building of
the Boston School Committee to
protest defacto segregation in the
cIty's public school system. At the
same time, the local branch Of the
NA-ACP was pushing a suit in the
courts against the committee over
the segregation issue. The protest
action came as thousands of public
students, including Negro pupils
affected by the de facto segrega-
ton, started the 1853 school year.
ENGLEWOOD, NJ: A group of
pupils from predominantly Negro
school marched on three predom-
inantly white schools and staged
stt-in demonstrations at two others,
to protest the delay of a plan that
would reduce racial imbalance at
the all-Negro Lincoln school. A
Negro councilman, Vincente X.
Tibbs, led the march on one school.
BRUNSWICK, NJ: Two civil
rights groups, charging racial i'm
balance in the cfty's school sys-
TEN, threatened to stage whole
sale sit-ins and picketings Of the
schools and the board Of education
office. Oliver Hagins, president of
the Peoples Organization, said the
board has been asking for sit-ins,"
after it decided against any i'm
mediate steps TO change racial bal
ances in the schools.
ORANGE, N. j.: Action to
change the racial imbalance in the

Launch Attdck Upon
De Foeto Segregation
In Northern Schools

Chicago (ANP)-The Whole
sale discomfort and impatience
of Negroes with the racial
makeup of Northern public
schools was converted into ac-
ton with the opening of public
schools last week, as parents
and students took to the streets
to man picket lines to force an
end TO de facto segregation.
In Chicago, a major focal
point in the fight against de
facto segregation, Negro par
ents and pupils picketed six
schools and the Board of Edu-
cation offices. They also threat.
ened school boycotts, and re-
newed their demands for the
custer of School Supt. Benja-
min G. Willis, who, they insist
advocates policies that perpetu-
ate segregation IN the schools.
At one School, 13 demonstrators
were arrested after they Staged a
at-in in the office Of principal,
Willard A. johnson, to demand his
custer and the transfer OF their
children. They charged johnson
with making racfst remarks, and
with permitting teachers TO mis-
treat their children. johnson dem
led the charges.
At two OF the schools, the DEM
oustrators threatened a boycott
over the use OF mobile classroom
units. They contend that use Of
the mobile units, called willis
Wagons" helps ito perpetuate
school segregation. The parents
demanded that Negro students at
overcrowded schools be transferred
to white schools with available
classroom space, instead of plac-
ing them into the traiBers.
The largest demonstrations
were staged at Forrestville North,
Beale, where the 13 were arrested,
and Guggenheim, where a Negro
city councilman, Charles Chew Of
the 18th Ward, joined in the pick
eting. He was not arrested. Three
mobile units have been placed at
the school, and a fourth Is planned.
Last month, more than 200 per-
sons, including comedian Dick
Gregory, were arrested at another
southside school site where mobile
classrooms were being erected.
Construction on the units at the
site was halted after several
stormy demonstrations there and
at the school board headquarters.
In New York City, civil rights
groups were rounding out plans to
boycott public schools because Of
the failure of the school board to
set up a suitable timetable for IN
tegration. At the same time,
spokesmen for the Citywide Com
nattee for Integrated Schools re-
ported that 100 clergymen have
agreed to open their churches for
use as freedom Schools" for chill
dren participating in the boycott.
Meanwhile, the NAACP released
q statement declaring that the
most effective plans or methods
for eliminating ractally concen-
trated schools" would be used un-
less the board submit a suitable

Search On For
Armed Youths
Near Burkeville

A search for two teen-age
youths believed to be armed
with pistols has been launched
by state police and NottoWay
county officers near BurkeWlle.
A state police tracking dog was
brought from Richmond Satur-
day to aid in the search.
The boys had first been seen
in Burkeville at a service sta-
ton purchasing soft drinks and
were spotted a short time later
by Burkevllle Police Chief Ern-
est Innan. He said the two
youths ran when they saw him
and were last seen running into
woods three miles south of
Burkeville.
The youths answered the de-
scription of two runaWays from
Chesapeake, police said. There
is also possibility that they
are the same two who have
plagued police in the Petersburg
area. The boys were also be-
lieved to have been seen in
CreWe Friday.
One Of the boys was described
as wearing brown trousers and
a denim jacket. Both boys APP
peared to be in their midteens.

April showers, about a month
behind schedule, arrived today
Monday and will begin to ease
the critical forest fire situation
and the extremely dry situation
of area farms.
M aynar Stoddard, district
forest fire chief, said it would
take an inch of rain to 'get us
out of our present hazardous
fire situation" The Governor S
order closing all forest lands to
the public will remain in effect
until he feels the extreme dan
ger from forest fires has passed.
Stoddard said public coopera-
ton with the forest closure law
has been excellent. He attributes
this cooperation with keeping
forest fires to a minimum in the
10-county willie district
since Thursday.
Only two fires have been re-
ported in the 10-county area in
the past four days. Both Of these
were in Prince Edward. One oc-
CURED Saturday near Tuggle
and Stoddard said it probably
started from a careless smoker.
The other was Sunday in Hamp-
den district. Both fires were
controlled before they reached
major proportions.
On Friday, Governor Harrison
offered a $3.50 reward to persons
giving information leading to the
arrest and conviction of anyone
guilty of 'Willfully and malici-
ously' setting a forest fire in
Virginia.
Stoddard said there were sew
eral suspected cases OF dehber-
ately setting fires in the Farm
vile district, including three In

fitzpatrick took up where Dr..
Coyner left off in the Virginia
political scene. He described the
events of Byrd's rise to the top
Of the Democratic party in Vir-

One of the highlights of the

when Byrd defeated Col. Miller.

with the following words: Few
