The drive for Negro equality in the
United States is approaching within
sight of token indignation. When this is
reached it will mean that in each state
at least one Negro attends a white
school, that in no state is there official
segregation of public transport or eating
places, that no state law upholds seq
regation. It will not bring even a SEM
blance of real indignation or equality.
1t will mean simply that many of the
formal barriers will have been preached
by the litigation of the Government.
AS this turning point approaches, will
present methods suffice? Is there dam
ger, as many Negro leaders assert, that
Government and public will acquiesce
in ''tukenism" and that progress will
slow down? Part of the answer may be
found in the recent past. The present
Administration has shown itself urgently
aware of the need to speed up the Negro
advance. 1t has limited its attack for
fear of antagonizing the southern whites
in Congress and in the south itself, but
it has still achieved a more rapid adj
vance than its predecessor. It has
worked hard to get Negroes on to the
voting registers, to enforce desegrega-
ton in interstate transport, in housing,
and wherever federal funds are in
volved. 1t has also brought more Negroes
into Government employment.
1t can justly argue that there is al
ready too much to do in such areas
without taking on more. For instance,
although Negroes make up between 20
and az per cent of the populations of
southern states they average a mere
IL per cent of the registered voters. ~.
While the educational barrier has
been preached at university level in
every state, though not always main
tanned, total segregation still prevails
in the schools of Alabama, Mississippi,
and South Carolina. Much state trans
port and other facilities remain segre-
gated. Congress did not pass the bill
to abolish literacy tests - which are
normally used less to test literacy than

BY JAMES BUNDLES

Every now and then one
of the farish streeters brings
up something, during our nj
Chilly discussions over assert
ed refreshments, that both
makes you think and adds up
to something that needs to be
repeated. This was the case
with an old buddy Of ours
named George who was talking
about some kids in his block
who lived way up in the north
section of town, near one of
the new schools, and every
day, along about recess time,
eight or ten Of these kids
would leave the school and go
from house to house asking
the folks in the neighborhood
for something to eat for lunch.
This buddy of mine said at
first he didn't pay them much
attention, but when they kept
coming back every day beg
ging, so to speak, for some
thing to eat, and looking like
they were wearing old clothes
and rundown shoes and things.
he decided to do a little inves-
tigating, so to make a long
story short he went over to
the schoolhouse and did some
shopping around. and he
found out that these kids really
were hungry. and not only
that there was a whole lot
more of them that hung around
the cafeteria and begged the
other children for what was
left on their plates before
they raked them into the gar
bage cans. This friend of mine
was saying what a shame it
was that the brothers and sis
tiers didn't pay a little more
attention to the needy kids in
their neighborhood. He went
on to say that he didn't mind
seeing a grown man starve,
cause nine times out of ten he
was just too lazy to get out
and look for something to do
to make some money but |
them poor little children try
ing to go to school on an empty
stomach, halfway barefooted |
and with old worn out clothes
on made him feel real bad. |
This brother, doing the talking, |
said he was going to do some
thing about it. I don't know |
whether he meant it or not, |
but he said that every week |
from now on he was going to |
take some of the money that |
he threw away on junk and
kind of adopt" at least two
of them little half hungry kids |
in his neighborhood and see
that they had a good hot |
lunch every day :. and whats |
more he said he was going to
try and round them up some |
decent looking clothes to wear |
so they could look nice like |
the other kids, and maybe even
do a little better in their grades
and things -. he said that once |
these kids started to feeling !
like somebody cared something
about them they'd start !
acting better and wouldn't be !

bout stealing and breaking out !

stuff You know. | was |
just thinking / remember
when George was a kid . and /
| remember that he was one of |
those little window-breakers
himself. but he changed i
and he knows what he's talk |
ing about. After he got throw

lovely ladies floating in and |
out Of the Old spot. we left.

that was listening to George
