A recent issue of the Birmingham
News contained an advertisement
which is of great interest to those who
have thoroughly studied both sides OF
the racial issue as it affects all sections
of the nation.
The advertisement : paid for by a
real estate and insurance firm quotes
a statement, The Court Ruling In
suits My Race" written by Fora Neale
Hurston, a Negro novelist and play
wright, a Barnard graduate and holder
of both Rosenwald and Cuseenheim
FeIlowships.
Referring to the U. S. Supreme
Court decision designed to end segre-
CATION in the public schools. the state
ment said in part: :,
The whole matter revolves around
the s~eIf-resPect Of my people. o
much satisfaction can get from a
court order for somebody to associate
with me who does not wish me near
them?
The American Indian has
been spoken of as a minority and
chieflv because there is no whine IN
the Indian. Certainly he fought, and
valiantIy, for his lands, and lightly So
but it is ~inconceivabIe Of an Indian to
seek forcibIe association with anyone.
His weII-known pride and selt-resPeot
would save him from that. ! a the
Indian position.
IF there are not adequate Negro
schools and there are some residual
some inherent and Interchangeable qua
lities in white schools, impossible to
duplicate anywhere else, then am the
first to insist that Negro children OF
Florida be allowed to share this boon.
But if there are adequate Negro
schools and prepared instructors and
instructions, then there is nothing Diff
ferent except the presence ot White
people.
For this reason | regard the ruling
Of the Supreme Court is insulting, ra-
Their than honoring my race. Since n
DAYS of the never-to-be sufficiently
deplored Reconstruction there has
been current the belief that there is
no greater delISnt TO NeSloes "ia'
PHYSICAL association With whites, the
doctrine of the white mare.
Those familiar with the habits OF
mules are aware that any mule, if not
restrained, automatically follows a
white mare.
LEAD a white mare along a country
road and shyIy open the gate and the
mules in the lot would run out and toll
low this mare. This ruling being con-
ceived and brought forth in sly PolitI-

acted on it. 1t is acunning opening OF

The Voices Are StiIIed

frantic over the segregation ruling, 1T
had better keep its eyes open for more
important things. One instance OF
government by fiat has been rammed
down its throat.
1T is possible that the end of segre-
cation is not here and never meant to
be here at present, but the situation OF
the South is directed on what was cal
cuIated to keep us busy while more
ominous things were brought to pass.
The stubborn South and Midwest
kept this nation from being dragged
farther to the left than it was during
the New Deal.
But what if it is contemplated to
do away with the ~two-Party system
and arrive at government by admin
strative decree? No questions allowed
and no information given out from
the administrative department?
in that ruling on segregation, the
unsuspjecting nation might have wit
messed a trial balloon. A relatively safe
one, since it is sectional and on a mat
ter not likely to rou other sections
Of the nation to the support Of the Sou
TIL. If it goes fairly we'll, a precedent
has been established. Government by
fiat can replace the Constitution. You
don't have to credit me With too much
intelligence and penetration Just so
you watch carefully and think.
1T is we'll known that have no
sympathy or respect for the tragedy
of color school of thought among us,
whose fountainhead is the pressure
group concerned in this court ruling.
can see no tragedy in being too dark
to be invited to the White House.
The Supreme Court would have
pleased me more if they had
ed themselves about enforcing the
compulsory education provision for
Negroes in the South as is done for
white children. The next 10 years
would be better spent in appointing
truant officers and looking for condi-
tions in the homes from which the
children came. Use to the limit what
we already have.
'Them's my sentiments, and am
sticking to them. Growth from within.
1t is a contradiction in terms to scream
race pride and equality while at the
same time spurning Negro teachers
and seEf-association That old White
mare business can so racking down
the road for all care.
Below this statement in the adver-
tisement, the sponsor commented:
What this talented Negro predicted
7 years ago has tome to pass. The vol
ces of those Negroes who have risen
above their a c have been stilled.
A great deal of misery, bloodshed
and trouble could have been avoided
had more Negro leaders adopted the
ideas of Fora NeaIe Hurston. Perhaps,
even now, it is not too late for others
TO take up the theme and prevent the
further tragedies that seem inevitable

back to the trial court TO assess
damages.
S. While the case had been wor
on the law in the Supreme Court o.
the United States and thereb,
handed to Milton Oman, the attor.
ney for the Plaintiffs, on a silve
platter as a win instead of
loss, the valuation issue had to be
retired. Additional counsel were
employed in Utah to assist MIR.
Oman in preparing proper findings
and conclusions and new judg-
mem was entered, but again the
Circuit Court of Appeals reversed
the decision of Judge Ritter on
the new valuation.
6. We tried to help out again in
petitiomng the u. S. Supreme
Court, but that court would not take
the case on so narrow an issue as
damages, which was not of suffici-
ent general public interest to just
ify the Supreme Court intaking the
case a second time.
7. There was, therefore, Moth
ing to do but for the parties to
make the best settlement they
could The writer did not parti-
cipate and does not know what the
final settlement was as to legal
fees. Only these three things are
clear: (a) There would have been
no legal fees paid to anybody from
the proceeds of the case, in
cluding Milton Oman, if | had not
won a reversal of the Circuit
Court in the Supreme Court of the
United States. (b)There would have
been norecovery of damages what
soever for the Navajos except for
the Supreme Court decision re-
versing the Court of Appeals.
(c) Never at any time have l
received one cent of compensation
for work on this case. although it
was an individual and not a Tribal
case which l had no legal obli-
cation to work on.
1t is a sad thing to have done
such an exhaustive and exhausting
piece of work as the preparation
and delivery of an argument in
the Supreme Court in order to
correct an injustice to the Nava-
jos in that area, all without one
cent of compensation or thought
of asking for it. only to have
twenty five Navajos mi misled into
signing such an ugly statement
as Rogers has written for them.
In addition to this work, the Nc
Cracken Mesa Act was secured
with my very extensive partici-
patton, adding about So. 600 acres
to the Navajo Reservation en-
bracing the very lands from which
the government and the ranchers
had tried to drive the NavajoS SO
that these people henceforth have
security which they had never had
before. The ranchers were re-
moved, and not the Navajos.
Sincerely yours.
