Ends Here

The quiet of after midnight

was being pursued by county
and town police while he was

toned and fled on foot, police
said.

In Greenwood, Mississippi,
focus Of the civil rights fight
for days before the Birming-
ham Campaign got underway,
where the tensions ran high for
a number of days, marked by
shooting of and at Negro voter
registration workers, as the
week began, quiet prevailed in
the Mississippi Delta City, re-
putedly the world largest
staple cotton market.
The situation was resolved at
Greenwood last week, when the
U. S. Justice Department and
Greenwood Authorities reached
compromise by which the
Justice Department agreed to
withdraw a suit for an injunc-
tion to prevent police interfer-
ence with Voter Register Work
ers, and the city agreed to re-
lease and free eight Negroes
arrested and fined, and in Jail

with Negro voter activities
there.

assurance that local Negro lead

four Negroes tried to obtain

The counters were closed and
the four left quietly. There

tory. DR.. Weaver is a prom
inent psychiatrist. -
The Rev. Hames Hargett, DR..
Weaver's campaign manager,
and a youthful, articulate Ne
gro leader1R. his own right, has
pointed out that the only way
Negroes in Los Angeles see of
gaining the equality of oppor-
tunity they seek is to become
part OF the power structure.
"No longer" he says, sis the
Negro willing to arbitrate OBJ
sequiously, but rather on
level of equality. Our people
are beginning to understand
that the Negro must have
representation at a level where
decisions are to be made. If he
doesn't participate in some de-
gree in the power decisions,
then he is impotent."
The Rev. Mr.. Hargett says
that within 10 years go per-
cent of the nations population
will be living in 18 major
metropolitan areas and that Is
to 35 percent Of those will be
Negroes.
ANY discerning Negro" he
says. "knows that in practical
terms THIS concentration means
political power"
Negroes in Los Angeles now
number over 100000. They
constitute perhaps the fastest
growing portion Of the COM
munity. Most of them are con-
gregated in the south-central
part of the city.
Furthermore, it appears to
be the intention of Negroes
who rise to positions within
the political power structure
to speak Immediately to the
urgent needs and grievances
of the Negro community.

Teaching Career Month was
inaugurated in 1858 by the
NEA to focus public attention
on the necessity for getting and
keeping the best possible teach
ers for our nations schools and
colleges. The observance has
six specific purposes: u To i'm
prove our nations schools by
providing increasing numbers Of
fine teachers, q To encourage
larger numbers of qualified
young people to consider teach
ing as a career, 81 To influence
the most competent teachers to
remain in the profession, ~ To
inspire teachers to speak up for
their profession and encourage
others to consider teaching as a
career, 81 To inform parents
and other citizens Of the op-
portunities and rewards the
teaching profession offers TO-
days youth, and 81 To show
that for our nations survival,
teaching must be the pre-emi-

life.

The main significance seen
here is not that such things are
being said, because they have
been said many times before.
Observers see significance
rather in the fact that for the
first time Negroes are aspir-
ing successfully to seats Of
power where such ideals can be
implemented.
