On other racial fronts, there
were these developments:
In Newark, N. j., about rs
Negro and white demonstrators
picketed high school con-
struction site for about two
hours under the watchful eyes
Of policemen. The picketS were
protesting alleged job discrim-
ination.
An official of the National
Urban League said at a ma
tional conference in Los An
geleS that increasing Negro
population in large cities is the
greatest single challenge the
organization faces. Nelson c
Jackson said that so per cent
of Negro youths between 1e
and 81 are out of work, and
he estimated that the unem-
ployment rate among Negroes
is twice that of the general
population.
In Columbia, S. c., the Uni

it is prepared to admit a Negro
coed, 17-year-old Henri Mon

Racial Struggle in Danvi||e
Goes Before Three Courts

DANVnLE, Va, July 30
(AP). = The Danville story
shifted once more from the
streets to the courts today as:
l. Witnesses paraded to the
stand to testify at a corpora

Judge A. M. Aiken's temporary
injunction against racial dem
onstrations should be made
permanent.
2. Hearings began in Mu-
nicipal Court for some 80 per-
sons arrested in recent weeks
on charges of violating the in
junction and a city ordinance
restricting picketing.
3. A representative of an in
surance firm from Hartford,
Conn, dashed from Corpora
ton Court to Municipal Court
to juvenile Court, posting bonds
for some 70 demonstrators
jailed in the last three weeks.
VIII Extend Injunction
Judge Aiken's injunction was
to have expired last night, but
the Corporation Court Judge
late yesterday announced he
would extend the ban from day
to day until the end Of the
hearing.
The temporary injunction, is
sued early in June and
buttressed by the picketing
ordinance, has been the city
administrations chief weapon
in Danville's civil rights battle.
A dozen Virginia Union Uni

NEW YORK, July 80 (AP) -
Negro children sat down in the
path of work trucks today and

The prosecution was struck
by one phase of this during the

when an appeal court freed
Aloysius Lucky) Gordon, one
of Christine's Negro ex-lovers,
from a three-year prison sem
tence on charges he beat her
up. -
Chief Justice Lord Parker
said he reversed Gordon's con-
viction on the basis Of still un~
disclosed evidence contained in
a tape recording Christine had
made. She claims she was high
on marijuana at the time.
Mr.. Griffith-Jones fastened
to tell the Old Bailey jury try
ing Ward that the reversal did
not mean the appeal court had
ruled Christine a liar.
He inserted news Of the re-
versal into his summing up and
said:
THAT does not, Of course,
mean to say that the Court Of
Criminal Appeal have found
that Miss Keller is lying. The
Court Of Criminal Appeal have
not found whether Miss Keeler
was telling the truth. They have
allowed the appeal simply and
solely because two witnesses
were not there" s.-
Tape Ordered Returned
Another of Christine's Negro
ex-lovers, John A. Edgecombe,
Is serving seven-year sentence
for emptying a pistol into the
door of her apartment. He also
mas appealed.
Lord Parker ordered the po-
lice to return Christine's tape
recording to Robin Drury, her
former agent.
She has appealed for a high
court writ to prevent Mr..
Drury's handing the recording
to any one but her. On it she
repeatedly gives an account of
her lurid life. No hearing has
been fixed for her application,
and what she said on the tape
may come out at that court
session. ~

Bookish looking Alfred B.
Fit is going to ride herd on
the Pentagon's new civil rights
program-a job in which, he
cheerfully acknowledges, you
can't possibly please every
body"
Mr.. Fit, a tall, bespectacled
40-year-old lawyer was elevated
by Secretary of Defense Nc
Namara to the newly created
post Of Deputy Assistant Sec
rotary Of Defense for Civil
Rights.
For the past wo years, Mr..
Fit has been Deputy Under
secretary of the Army for
Manpower.
II came over to this build
ing because I was excited at
the prospect of doing some
thing about eliminating dis
elimination in the Army" he
told a reporter yesterday.
"Now I will have a chance
to do this throughout the whole
defense establishment"
Mr.. Fit headed the teams
which did the spade work lead
ing to Mr.. McNamara's anti
discrimination directive last
Friday. The Defense chief
ordered the armed services to
prepare specific plans aimed
at wiping out bias against Ne
gro servicemen in areas around
military bases and authorized
base commanders to declare
off-limits, communities which
persist in discriminating against
colored servicemen.
Can Make a Career
In his new job, Mr.. Fit will
monitor these programs and
also undertake renewed efforts
to eliminate any vestiges OF
racial discrimination in the
services themselves.
He said in an interview that
discrimination not only Is
morally wrong, but damaging
to defense.
The Illinois-born Fit voiced
satisfaction with progress in
lowering racial bars in the
armed services since President
Truman's desegregation order
is years ago.
"a Negro can make a career
In the service-and a good
one" he said.
"As much as any institution
in society can achieve integra-
ton. the armed services have
, done So" However, Mr.. Fit
said, while a Negro serviceman

with white servicemen while on

THAT type Of white man"
says a Southern newspaper
woman, 'is at the bottom of
the scale and he knows it. The
only thing that separates him
from an equally poor, unedu-
Gated Negro is the color of his
skin. He has to look down on
somebody so he looks down on
the Negro"
Not Ready Yet
But what about the segrega-
zionist who says he has a gen.
uine affection for his Negro
friends? How does he square
this with the fact of injustice
and inequality?
He begins with a basic pre-
mise, a conviction that under
lies most of his attitudes -
that, by and large, the Negro
has not yet reached a stage OF
development where he Il

mo race on earth ever made
so much progress in 100 years
as the Negroes have made" he
says. But they did it with the
guidance of the white man ano
they still need our guidance"
Flowing from that comes his
opposition to integral e d
schools.
THE Negro doesn't have the
same capacity for learning,
he says. Moreover, his h o m e
environment is seldom condu-
Give to study. So why should
my children be held back to
his pace? They're both better
off in schools where they can
advance at their own pace"
Area of DisapprOval
The segregationist also says
that Negro children frequently
come to school unbathed and
wearing dirty clothes. He says
they come from homes with a
high rate of illegitimacy a n d
adds, 81 don't want my kids
sitting next to kids who talk
openly about what they have

For similar reasons, he
doesn't want his wife and
daughter to sit next to a Ne
gro in a movie theater or q
lunch counter, use the same
fitting rooms in a store, or the
same rest rooms.
Does he really believe the
Negroes ultimate goal is to
marry your daughter?" Yes
he does. He's convinced Of 1t.
AS to the Negroes right to
vote, one segregationist said,
There's no reason why their
best people shouldn't vote

ate, and able to make a judy

But there aren't many with

I once asked q Southern
newspaper editor, a segrega-
ZIONIST, to itemize the five OF

segregation. On the back Of an
envelope, he set down the vari-
Gus points. Leading his list

There may be many reasons
why he has been abandoned in
his extremity.
You must not guess at them.
But his is clear: If Stephen
Ward was telling the truth in
the witness box, there are in
this city many witnesses of high
estate and low who could have
come and testified in support
of his evidence"
Denied Profit
Christine Keeler, 81, testified
she slept with former War Min
lister John Profumo and he gave
her money for her mother.
Mandy Rice-Davies, 10, swore
she slept with Lord Astor and
Douglas Fairbanks, jr.
Ward denied any knowledge
Of intercourse between the girls
and the men they ramed. He
said he certainly did not profit
personally.
But none of the big names
appeared at the Old Bailey to
back up Wards version.
A verdict is expected in the
case within "a hours. A find
ing of guilty could send the So
year-old Ward to jail for up
to Is years after a court hear
ing the judge said has prob
ably gained more notoriety
than any trial in recent years. 4"
Judges Analysis
The Judge said the evidence
concerning Christine appeared
to show intercourse for-pay
with seven men and unpaid in
tercourse with three others.
"Of the whole of these, as
analyZe the evidence" he re-
marked, stephen Ward intro
duced her to at least five"
Justice Marshall said Miss
Keller testified that the money
which changed hands as a re-
suit of her sleeping with Pro-
fumo was paid to her mother.
But whether it ultimately
reached her mother or not,
the judge commented, at was
in the eyes of the law money
received for sexual intercourse
And she had been introduced
to Profumo by Ward"
The SO year old justice
seemed perturbed by the image
Of Britain spread abroad by
revelations of sex and sin in
London high society.
"As we all know" he SOM
berly told the jury of II men
and one woman, "repercussions
arising out of what we have to
investigate have widely spread
their tentacles across the pub
lie life Of this country and have
aroused great interest in for
eign countries"
Task Not Easy

true and proper verdict, hi
commented that, in view of the
sale in the market place o.
details of filth and vice fol
high financial rewards, oul
task is not going to be an easy
one"
This was an obvious refer.
ence to stories peddled tc
newspapers by Miss Keeler and
Miss Rice-Davies, alleged by
the prosecution to have been
the stars of a stable of Ward
party girls.
Justice Marshall admonished
the jurors that they should
find Ward guilty only if they
were certain that the pros
ecution had established Its
charges.
Before the judge began his
speech from the bench, Pros
ecutor Mervyn Griffith Jones
denounced Ward as a lying
lecher and demanded convic-
ton on all five charges against
him-three Of living off prosti-
tutes and two of procuring un-
der-age girls.
Ward pleaded not guilty and
